Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[feathersax]

I don't recall Phil ever coming to practice to speak to us. Or Johnny before him. John Ward came, though.

The summation of Dickey's speech was how unneeded the band actually was as long as we were winning. I guess he wasn't as big on the overall experience. Imagine a game without all the pageantry and Rocky Top. It just wouldn't be the same. It's part of the magic that is Gameday.

Our son was in P.O.T.S. Band 1998-2002. Coach Fulmer came to many Saturday morning practices & thanked the Band. We were there to share it. Incidentally, this 1978 photo shows Dr. Julian with the Bryants honoring their composition "Rocky Top".

Wonder if we would go after Hank Poteat for DB coach is Martinez struggles

 

[Plove23]

I agree and hopefully we play our young guys when those opportunities come this season. I think we will.

Glad to hear Cam is on pace to be cleared by week 1. We damn sure need him in the lineup.

GBO!

thats rough. regardless of fame, if kids are involved wives should be taken care of (provided she didnt murder someone with a meat cleaver. or deflate footballs).

That said. i'm glad Peyton is the Goat, and not a complete and total doucher.

She’s worth an estimated $400 million on her own. She’s not hurting for any of Tommy Boy’s money

The reason it's funny was the wife was Gisele, who probably worth more than Brady. Now why would she need his assets, I'm positive he has got his kids financial set up for life.

Happy Wednesday

August 14, 2024: There are things you do and think that are no longer relevant to who you have become. Set yourself to embrace where you are instead of where you have been. You are being renewed day by day to become the best version of yourself possible. Put the past behind you and step into the new you. Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

J.J. McCarty had a nice preseason game and now he is out for a while because of a torn meniscus. About 8 weeks I believe.

 

[Volsdeep4]

What does that even mean?

Pretty sure this would fall under advertising expense for Pilot. They're spending actual money, like any other business expense.

Maybe I'm just missing yer point.

I think what’s he’s saying is that at the end of the year it is a tax write off. Expenses such as this (advertising) are usually seen as such.

That line was a joke referencing some soccer player scenario which was debunked.

Well I stand corrected.

She just wants his stock shares of Callahan Auto Parts

 

[Buzzbait]

just a little bit.

Well, sans Worley. He was all world. Esp in the run game. Teams had to respect him

Worley with a decent supportive cast and another year with a good QB coach/Kiffin would have been potent.

he was limited, but agree. he was a GPoY in SC. He just didnt have the physical gifts of what we have now.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Maybe its an indictment on how good of a coach he is. Turning a walk on onto a starter. That sounds like a good coaching job to me.

Is Lincoln Riley a bad scout of talent and coach when he had walk on Baker Mayfield starting for him?

Exception not the rule.
Baker was a 3 star out of high school and will brooks nothing.

According to Sportico, the Dallas Cowboys have become the first sports franchise valued above $10 billion. In its annual valuations of NFL teams, Sportico lists the Cowboys at $10.32 billion, followed by the Los Angeles Rams at $7.79 billion. Rounding out the top 5 are NY Giants ($7.65B) NE Patriots ($7.31B) and SF 49ers ($6.86B).

You would think that it would be tied to winning. But not so much…

How bout them...... Nope I swore I wouldn't say it this upcoming season in this forum.

Yetis go to human drs……or vets?

They do go to vets...





























...but they call that grocery shopping.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Saban also played walk on DBs so everyone should stop freaking out about Will Brooks.

Can’t remember the players name, but when the Vols won the Sugar Bowl against Miami, they had a walkon CB who led the SEC in interceptions. The RB who torched the canes was also a walkon.

Scholarship status doesn’t always mean that they are the best players on the team…

 

[Orange_Crush]

Cry more. This is the reason Saban stepped away too.

Sorry guys, everyone can pay for players now, and you don't get to stash great players for 3 years just because the rules won't let them leave.

Jackass

I get serious Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz vibes here.

Worley was signed by Dooley. If Kiffin stays, we don’t get Worley. His arm strength was subpar and his release was slow. Kind of like Harrison Bailey.

Chris White but I think he played safety… had 9 ints that year.

I dont know, but wouldnt safety - the QB of the backfield. Require someone to know ins and outs of the playbook? Ergo, someone who take the 2D and apply it, spatially would excel in that spot?

Now, to me when time comes where more athletic dudes catch up. You gotta play them too. It cant be Brooks playing 90 minutes or whateves.
