Bill Laimbeer chuckles

Have you heard Charles Barkley talk about that team…. He said the only players on that team that could fight was the smallest two…. Isaiah and Dumars…. He said that none of the rest could fight at all… Laimbeer acted like he could but when it went down… He didn’t fight…. He just got hit.

The back to back NBA Finals between Lakers and Celtics in 84 and 85 are best two series I watched.

Players/teams use to hate each other back in the day. It was so much fun…. The All-star game in baseball use to be a blast. It was as competitive as a World Series bc the NL and AL hated each other and had so much pride.

Can it get any better?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Guys, if Hooker and Milton keep balling out, just think how good our QB recruiting is going to get…

Uhmm...it can't get any better than it already is.

Happy Friday

Hope everyone dealing with storms is OK.

August 9, 2024: It seems like you have been through a rough patch, and actually things have been more complicated and difficult, but you are coming through by the direction and power of My Spirit. Do not underestimate My involvement in your life and circumstances. I am with you always. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said: I will never leave you nor forsake you.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

If TX, Bama and UGA were all to get in and Bama and UGA have wins over us already it would allow the committee to count us as a non-factor and select a team like Mizzou who plays no one.

Then it’s a good thing that we aren’t losing to bama or uga.

16-0




If for no other reason than to thwart missouri.

You think we'd sell-out Neyland if we played a couple pre-season games there?

We play a couple of pre seasons every year, This year we start with UTC.

I went a NFL preseason game in Neyland during the 80’s…. Steelers versus the Patriots. It was pretty full that day.

How Nooga looks in every recruit thread

Uhmm...it can't get any better than it already is.

I know, it was supposed to be a joke.

You see a lot of posts of the general form: “Once Heup’s guys at [position] start having success in the league, [position] recruiting is gonna take off.”

Storms are scary and can be very damaging. It is not fun, especially when you can see them coming from a long way off. However, don't let your focus be completely on the coming storm and miss the beauty and wonderful things happening all around you before and even when you are in the thick of the storm. Ask God to show you the beauty in every situation and it will upgrade how you look at life and make hard times easier and good times even more amazing.

Recruiting is very good but we absolutely would benefit by more VFL’s having success in the league.

There’s currently a ton of coaches who tell these elite recruits that our system doesn’t prepare them for the NFL. That negative recruiting is real. It’ll get worse if guys who put video game numbers up here can’t make an impact in the league.

Good thing Ced & Hyatt are putting on a show in training camp. Jaylen Wright should get some notoriety, Darnell Wright has top RT in the league potential. His two QBs looking pretty decent, Ramel & Jabari have a strong chance of making a NFL roster. Hadden making noise, along with Nico & Heard likely being invited to the ‘26 draft with Heup possibly there with them.

1 other...and it was a total coincidence that he ended up right in front of Princip after visiting the victims of the first bomb attempt at the hospital..

Yep. Wasn’t princip just chilling at a cafe and saw his chance when the archduke’s driver went the wrong way?

August 9, 1173
Construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa began on this day in 1173. Due to war and debt, it took over 200 years to complete

The Tower of Pisa is the churches belltower. The city of Pisa was at the beginning a simple but important Italian seaport. With its growth, so did its religious buildings. Its fame and power grew gradually over the years, as the people of Pisa were involved in various military conflicts and trade agreements. The Pisans attacked the city of Palermo on the island of Sicily in 1063. The attack was successful and the conquerors returned to Pisa with a great deal of treasure. To show the world just how important the city was, the people of Pisa decided to build a great cathedral complex, the Field of Miracles. The plan included a cathedral, a baptistery, a bell tower (the Tower of Pisa) and a cemetery.

The real identity of Tower of Pisa’s architects is a mystery. The most accredited architects of this first phase of work are Bonanno Pisano and Gherardo din Gherardo. The second phase of construction started in 1275, and the work is attributed to Giovani di Simone. Tommaso Pisano (1350-1372) was the architect who finished the work.

The leaning of the Tower of Pisa comes into the story in 1173, when construction began. Thanks to the soft ground, it had begun to lean by the time its builders got to the third story, in 1178. Shifting soil had destabilized the tower’s foundations. Over the next 800 years, it became clear the 55-metre tower wasn’t just learning but was actually falling at a rate of one to two millimeters per year.

Its architect and engineer tried to correct this by making the remaining stories shorter on the uphill side – but to no avail. It kept leaning more and more. The lean, first noted when three of the tower’s eight stories had been built, resulted from the foundation stones being laid on soft ground consisting of clay, fine sand and shells. The next stories were built slightly taller on the short side of the tower in an attempt to compensate for the lean. However, the weight of the extra floors caused the edifice to sink further and lean more.


Today, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is more than five meters off perpendicular.

Gabe Jeudy-Lally probably gonna make a roster, even if it is the Toilers.

I hope folks find a church instead of taking your advice. This is irresponsible.
