Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Have we figured out the for our game? I like 1st half o19.5. . . but it moved to 20.5. You think we score 21 in the 1st half?

I'd about bet us on any quarter point total besides the 4th.

Just be sure to keep good health insurance. . .

Don't get me started on insurance!!!

I've thought about that too. The problem with that is, he's been at UPS for almost 2 years (part time) and they're bringing automation to the Knoxville HUB. The word is "lay offs are coming In January". UPS is union and seniority based, so he's looking for another job right now. And that's the other problem with so many new transplants in the area @MarcoVol ....... it ain't just the housing market that's being bought up by whoever, it's good paying jobs that are scarce and there's a lot more competition for them (and that's definitely not real-estate investors causing that). Me and my wife paid our house off, it's my kids making it alright that I'm worried about.

Man the FedEx hub down the road from me is BEGGING anyone and everyone to work there, they're desperate for people. East TN isn't experiencing the massive labor shortage the rest of the country is?

Only thing that concerns me about this game (obviously we are gonna win this, but don't want them putting up easy points) is our ability to lock down their mobile QB... he's going to be running every other play most likely, and it will be because he's flushed out of the pocket, not designed runs. We have been tending to over step/over commit in the backfield and let QB's wiggle free... this guy and Milroe need to be spied and kept in check. Make him beat us with his arm.

Tell Pili his only job is to consistently focus on the QB and blow this dude up. If he's successful doing this, their QB might not make it through the game...

And our Offense needs to start just putting up as many points as possible and create that separation early so we can brake these teams mentally by the half and they have to completely revamp their game plan the second half. With our RBs, QB, and WR's, we should be putting up 40+ points from here on out. No mercy.
You got Bru, Thornton(on fire with confidence) Brazzle, Squirrel, Matthews, Nimrod, etc. ... Someone should always be open. Our Oline does their job and give Nico time and them time to develop the routes and we will embarrass folks.

Oline is the key to success at the end of the day we have all seen now. We create enough pass protection/time and open holes for the run game and no one can stop this team. Defense is now capable of creating havoc, so the balance is finally there.

Thanks for the information. He's been applying different places. Hopefully he'll get another good job. He's like me, barely got of high school and started at UPS. The biggest difference, I hurt my back and left and he's getting laid off.

Well I live in Arkansas, so my local FedEx won't help him haha. But there should be tons and tons of jobs out there, there's still a huge labor shortage going on.

Do you frequent the Knoxville subreddit? Every day there’s a post of “Thinking about moving to Knoxville” and the responses are “We’re full!” or “GTFO”. There’s a lot of anger about so many transplants coming into town.

That's how I feel with ppl moving to the Tri Cities region.

 

[DD4ME]

This list is rife with Juco's cashing out.

Was listening to a guy talk about how Ole Miss not playing anybody probably hurt them against UK.

I think NC State prepared us more than maybe we think against OK. NC State is average at best, but they had enough athletes to test us for a while. I think thay helped us handle Oklahoma a little better than if we hadn't played them.

I think going against arky’s qb (mobile qb) will give us “some” prep work for milroe in a couple weeks.

Sold our house 3 years ago to build the one we are in now, we got $134,000. The family that bought it were local and now are selling(it’s under contract) they were asking $289,000
They listed it on an internet site not with a local realtor. Our little town of 1,100 now has 4-5 houses list on the same site all over $200,000 for house that 5 years ago listed for $85-$135,000.
We now have families from NY,CO,AK,NJ,CA it’s crazy.

I built my house on our farm 5 years ago for $300,00. It's now worth over $800,000 because of the prices of housing going up in our area. Taxes are being raised astronomically in my area as well.

Clever

I actually think @jave36 intended the implication. So, his cleverness.

 

[WesTnVol]

Majority of housing crisis is due to PE and investors buying up properties, many times with cash purchases.

This
Out of state buyers are over paying and paying in cash.
They sell their homes for $6-7-800,000 move to rural Tennessee and buy a nice house paying way over market value. I’ve had several tell that the property tax savings alone make it worth it. The guy from New York went from almost $20,000/yr to less than $2,000 he couldn’t believe it.

Well...... Why are you @ing me about East Tennessee stuff? Just to fight?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You want to be horrified?...go look up the channel of a guy a YT named "Henry Stewart".

I just listened to one of his vids.."Why does ********** kill so many people?"

Not to be discussed here...I just thought some would find them useful.

 

[JT3]

I find myself having almost zero concern about this game.

That concerns me.

I'm with you.

But in the back of my mind I think about the 2 road games over the past 2 years where we lost to inferior teams.

With that said, I got us winning by 24.

 

[Orange.]

Wow. Just wow.

Choked. But Mets get a shot at win Tuah tonight.

 

[jave36]

Well...... Why are you @ing me about East Tennessee stuff? Just to fight?

Haha, I still consider it my home even if I no longer reside there. And what's true of East TN is true of other similar areas, like the one where I live now, regardless!

Same here. We built house,shop and well house on 5.5 acres for roughly $300,000
With these crazy prices I told my wife I’d be afraid to list our property for $1.5 million because someone would say SOLD.

 

[jave36]

What an offal joke!

I missed this earlier until your @ me. My cleverness was intended, but yours surpassed mine haha. I should have said they looked offal to start with and claimed all the cleverness for myself.

Unfortunately, I know pretty much all I want to about insurance.

 

[Weezer]

Any new people moving to Tennessee should face a screening process. Right of refusal.

The word is "lay offs are coming In January". UPS is union and seniority based, so he's looking for another job right now. And that's the other problem with so many new transplants in the area @MarcoVol ....... it ain't just the housing market that's being bought up by whoever, it's good paying jobs that are scarce and there's a lot more competition for them (and that's definitely not real-estate investors causing that). Me and my wife paid our house off, it's my kids making it alright that I'm worried about.

@Glitch

Did you have to say "Go Padres" in your thread? Now I'm afraid you've jinxed the Padres and not the Dodgers.
