Recruiting Football Talk VIII

What'd he do?

Threw a dart in the endzone for a td to tie and send to overtime on 4th down

Not a terrible price for Michters toasted honestly

You're just being nice. $69 for Stagg Jr?! I keep telling myself it's only money and life is short so enjoy myself, but that just kills me. Why did I ever move to a board controlled state? I walked into a GA liquor store and my eyes lit up. Reminded me of the variety I left behind when I moved. Although, the prices on what I can get at home in NC were actually lower than GA. Should have stuck to my guns and moved back to TN or out west.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yeah blew my mind. Kroger and Walmart have attached liqour stores. Crazy too, and have a pretty good selection. Especially the Kroger Spirits

Kroger, too?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

BYU or Colorado? Assuming no one quits in the middle of the game.

 

[BleedOrange16]

That is a delicious bottle. Superb pour

I’m having a small pour of Stagg Jr. tonight.

Cheers

Those talking bourbon and whiskey need to head to Lost State Distillery on Bristol and pick up TN’s newest official Tennessee Whiskey. This is one of the smoothest whiskeys I’ve ever had, and if you’re not into whiskey, their bourbons and gin are just as great.

That’s the main thing people are talking about. It’s not depth, talent gap, NIL, it’s play calling and the use of what seems like the same 12-15 plays.

You can overcome talent gaps with scheme a lot of times. But for some reason this year and last, play calling has been a huge question mark.

Going to have to get back to doing what CH does best and that’s finds mismatch’s.

Seems like everyone wasn’t on the same page this year and last and that could be attributed to not having the right personnel, but that ultimately falls on the coaches to find that chemistry. If you don’t have the talent in certain groups you can overcome some of those deficiencies with schemes.

Honestly I don’t know what the problem has been the last two years. Did we have more talent in ‘22 compared to ‘23/24? Some will say NO, some will say yes.

Is that attributable to lack of development?

Regardless of what everyone’s response is or opinions we have still won a lot of games.

Anyways, this is my current situation. Y’all enjoy your weekend. I’m gonna try and do the same. View attachment 709890

The main reason, IMO. Hendon Hooker

Yeah man we sell Stagg at 69.99 but of course it’s not available very often

 

[NashVolDavis]

Haha im a definitely snob with tequila (don’t judge) but Midtown Corkdorks, Frugal (gulch), Sinkers (east), Reds (Bellevue) SHOULD have every one of those

I’m assuming you prefer reposado based on those 2 brands?

Used to live in Bellevue and had a buddy who worked at Reds - that’s a good store.

Yeah I prefer reposado to blanco…usually like anejo the best when it’s worth the price diff.

 

[tnvols72]

This punk should not be allowed back on the field

For what I had to pay for it, I'm using a thimble instead of my regular glasses.

 

[utvolmaniac]

You like TX bourbon? The ones I’ve had have been too leathery

I live in TX. Some distilleries are good…some so-so…some not so good.

Ironroot does their brand and the Saints Alley brand. Good stuff.

Garrison Brothers has really good stuff…but overpriced.

1894 is newer but good.

Balcones used to be good but sold out to Diagio. I’ll pass on their stuff.

Others are hit-n-miss. Hits are mediocre.

Tesoro is prob most available anejo. Cazcanes is also excellent but def higher end price wise

Do you like Still Austin?

Next time I visit Nashville, I'm coming to see you. Hope my rep here won't lead to locked doors!

 

[MetalVolunteer]

That Stagg is good stuff

This batch is decent. Not one of my favorites. 17B and 22B are my favorites. Crazy good flavor

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Picked wrong thread to catch up on latest news, now I'm drunk

 

[utvolmaniac]

Forgot about them. Upper level stuff is really good. Have a limited edition Blue Corn open which is really nice.

Just finished my 22B last night. Sad sad times

Man this Bengals broncos game is nuts

I hear that! I was luckily able to purchase this one at MSRP off of allocation at a store I frequent.

Nice, thanks for the recs - gonna keep an eye out for those. You said “we” on another post - you run a shop? If so shoot me a dm if you don’t wanna go public and I’ll come buy one from you haha

Come on! Maybe you’ll get lucky on a drop day

Explaining Tennessee football roster crunch that limits Josh Heupel in transfer portal

Why hasn't Tennessee loaded up in the portal? Its big signing class and Jeremy Pruitt scholarship cuts are at play. Here are the roster numbers.

Interesting read on scholarship numbers

Yeah I tried a blue corn from them and enjoyed it. Just a small sample though
