Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jack Burton]

The Journal has a good article about how southern schools are attracting more northern kids. They’ve discovered what we’ve known for a long time. UT is experiencing some of that growth.

Woah. Big girl.

She is now on diet food. We will see how that goes.

Sorry if talked about but the Everything Orange youtube channel's interview with Dylan Sampson is excellent. What a likeable guy, insight on team dynamics and his take on Oklahoma's terrible field conditions and how it impacted his running.

There is no freaking way I'd let a little lower ankle boo-boo keep me off of the field in a game like this...I'd be like "Give me a shot of f'n Toradol right in that sumb****, give me a couple PCs, wrap it up tight and let's get the hell on with this!"

I do not understand this generation...as a flooring installer I once drove a hawkbill knife through the side of my knee, so I sprayed both of the inch wide holes with this heavy duty spray cement we used for about a million things, then wrapped it all up in tissue paper and duct tape until I could get done with the job that day and go home...and I never missed a day of work after it either.

I get it if it's a bad break, or torn ligaments or something..but jeez..

Ummm, @Ulysees E. McGill …
I think I know why you now talk about your knees being awful.

I thought shared possession always went to the offense. How the hell did they overturn the ruling on the field? ACC really protecting Miami from a team that lost to Vandy and Rutgers.

Shared possession always* goes to the offense.

It seems you overlooked the asterisk.

He’s my favorite player on this team.

They were already en route when the flooding took place. No one knew that the whole interstate system would be shut down

If anyone had been monitoring the weather, the national weather service had been talking about catastrophic flooding being possible in NC as early as Wednesday. They could have driven up 81 to 77 and came down that way to avoid all of that. That will be their only path home afterward.

This event has been incredible no Twss.

IPAs are delicious, except the ones that are just 1,000,000% extra hops, which is now a significant percentage of IPAs.

I love a good IPA but the hops are out of hand lately. I’ve circled back and been on a Lager kick the last few months. So crisp and refreshing.

What a mess here in Statesboro. Still no power. Spotty cell reception. And now, worst of all, I’m missing COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

Every time I see the word "Lager" I think of Durty Nelly's in the 90s. Used to stock South Paw on tap, but labeled it Gruetli-Laager Lager. People drank it down like it was the finest micro brew before micro brews were a thing. lol

My old stomping grounds! Prayers for the community.

Prolly shouldn't waste cell listening to this, but



I hate it for you. Went through it several times in New Orleans. Sucks.

 

[Volnut]

I read terrible things about flooding in Newport, Sevier Co., and the mountain areas. How are things around Knoxville? Prayers for all impacted!

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I’m just now under 300 mobile version pages behind.
Possible that I catch up with the bye week

This is the least affectionate cat I have ever known. I was chosen for some lap time this morning. Feeling special.

I'm so sorry @Glitch.

@smokeyhuntsgators cat won the "VN's favorite cat award".

There's no need to post anymore cat pics..........ever




the phantom of the opera look is pretty cool

 

[Go Fight Win]

Rewatching some of the VT Miami game. They got screwed. Man, wouldn’t it be nice to be one of those teams that just gets the calls? Ya know, some teams the refs really “like” em or something

Call after phantom call

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Hate Kensucky with a passion but I guess I’ll be rooting for them today.

Kentucky isn’t built for this kind of game. If OM scores 21, Kentucky is pretty much done.

Loved dirty Nelly 's. Had great food and we would do an around the world beer tour with their beer menu.

 

[TheRain]

They really went all-in with The Sip.

What's up with the baby blue Lube U helmets?
