Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[WesTnVol]

He was there Apr 05 thru Sept/Oct. Then on some mission later that he won't say anything about.

My mom’s youngest brother Uncle Rocky was a Green Beret, he was visiting one time and I was looking through his scrapbook (90-91)
I noticed a citation for meritorius duty dated 1978 I asked him how/where/what he did.
He reply Iraq and can’t talk about it. My dad told me that my uncle Rocky was a “bad” man. I just knew him as fun loving guy, who once when I was 6 years old gave the sweetest two gun cowboy holster ever!
RIP Uncle Rocky

It's only a poor choice of words for someone who doesn't know what "cannon fodder" is (and thus didn't realize that I was defending the soldiers), and it'd only be bad timing if I was dumping on soldiers instead of arguing against the system that caused the loss.

Save your breath. The elevator doesn’t go all the way up for some.

It’s breath. Breathe is a verb. I’ll get a technician on that elevator, ump.

No doubt, I felt good and confident that Heupel was telling the truth all along, I am glad he has made a full recovery. Let’s GBO!

Let's goooooooooBO!!

I think we will be really good at RB this year. Cam just needs reps. That's why it sucked that he got hurt during the spring bc he needed those reps since he learning how to play RB. Glad he is now a full go. By the OU game Cam will be a force and great 1-2 punch with Samp.

I'm interested to see who RB3 will be.

I'm thinking Bishop

When they spend time to hate on you it means you see making progress.

Physically, I'm not sure Kirby could do that to Heup or not, tbh. As players, Heup won a National Championship and was runner-up for the Heisman; Kirby...along with the rest of UGA, was UT's bitch.

I'm rewatching some of the games from 22.

Our defense that year...I don't think they were that bad, schematically. Lots of times that year we had the right calls, but we're just a step off from really executing at high level.

With upgrades in depth and talent, I think the defense can take a big step this season.

And while I don't expect us to have the#1 offense this year, I do think it will still be very good.

Obviously, a lot depends on Nico, but I don't look at our schedule and not think we can't beat anyone, not named UGA.

11-1 I think is the ceiling, 8-4 the absolute floor. If we beat ncsu, I think we can get rolling. Beat ou, and it could take off like it after that LSU game in 22.

Anyone ever taken ketorolac? I got a migraine & toothache at the same time and havent taken it before. The side-effects seem a little extreme. . .

Never heard of that..but Excedrin works well or at least for me it did.

 

[benholt06]

I'm thinking Bishop

Or Lewis. Bishop will prob play good enough to earn a scholly.

But Lewis is built like a tank and is supposedly the fastest on the team. He’s gonna be a menace.

Don’t tell @benholt06

Bishop evidently kicked his dog and porked his sister.

 

[GiggerVol]

Who got bumped up to push us to 5th? I thought we were #6 after Harmon.

Other way around actually.

I can’t I’m laughing so hard I can’t breath.

That was one of my favorite plays from the 22 season. That was an awesome

I actually have it on velvet..... View attachment 668656

That one was good but this was my fav..

Or just drink some water too once in a while lol. I'm terrified of kidney stones, but I'm not giving up iced tea. Started drinking a big glass of water right when I wake up and in between glasses of iced tea in the afternoon.

This. The key is to stay well enough hydrated that crystals don't ever form due to mild dehydration and you can drink mostly what you like. I suffered from dozens of stones over a 6 -7 year period culminating in 3 at once that were too big to pass.

Average passable stone is 2-4mm and 5 or 6mm is around the top end able to pass, depending on size and path of ureter coming from each kidney down to every guy's favorite toy. I went to pee one day and it was like I was peeing Coke because it was so black.....but no pain. It was like I poured a 2 liter of Coke in toilet but was almost all blood. Never had that happen so I freaked and went to the Tennova ER at I-75 in Powell.

Turns out that I had 11x13mm and 11x9mm monsters in the chamber and a 3rd one just about to exit my kidney into my ureter that was even larger than the other two by a good bit....all on my right side ureter/kidney.

They arranged for surgery 2 days later to do the lithotropsy and break them up. I refused a stint.....no hooked coathanger being shoved up my junk and changed weekly, if needed, while awake. Bad move.l on my part.

After surgery, the sheer amount of the broken up stone's debris caused my right side to get a massive clog of basically sand mixed with tiny razorblades. Urologist said it was like stepping on a garden hose on full blast and letting pressure build. 3-4 months of constant agony that around the clock Oxycodone couldn't touch and I finally said "Wouldn't FloMax help?"

Idiots at Urologist office said that's a great idea and I peed out about a coffee cup worth of razor sand within 2-3 days. Biggest relief ever, followed by blind fury at Urologist's office and myself on the stint, followed by oxycodone withdrawal a couple days later.

Never have passed another stone in the last 11 years, though.

I know it's cliche...hell, maybe it's not even a real thing, idk. Idk exactly what term I'm looking for, tbh, but...it just seems like these kids have a different "look in their eyes", you know. I haven't seen the...focus...the locked-in look...the confidence... the look of an SEC-ready team...I haven't seen that ALL ACROSS our entire team in a long time, like I do this one. Just the way they look, the way they are carrying themselves in practice, in the clips of practice, the pictures. Maybe I'm deceiving myself, and it's not really there; but, they just look...different. Like they're ready to be...BIG TIME, ready for the spotlight.

Anyone else know what im talking about, what I'm seeing? Am I wrong, seeing a 10+-win team, and they really are an 8-win team? I've been wrong many times before. In '21, I thought we'd be lucky to win 4 or 5 games...'22, thought we could get to 8, maybe 9; and, both teams surprised me, making me a very happy Vol. Like last year, I figured 8 or 9, and if we caught some breaks, we could get to 10.

This team, though...they just seem to be carrying themselves, looking like the dudes that made us a Top 5 program. I know the reports are saying, we are way bigger and physically-looking more imposing than we have been in awhile. Maybe thats what im seeing; but, I guess if I had to set a word to it, that word would be...focus.

He porked your dog and kicked your sister? Sounds like he should have gone to UGA

Vodka is better than Whiskey, any day of the week. That said, a 120 minute IPA blows the shandy off either or.
