Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Jimmy Football]

I don’t think Nick is right for the job until they get the employee/union/collective bargaining part out of the way (or get an antitrust exemption). As it stands, he’ll just be constantly butting heads with the courts like Charlie Baker.

My vote is still for Charles Davis.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I don't see anyone else jumping for the job. We do need one, outranking Sankey. The Bg10 just needs to go back in its hole.

 

[Ashevolle]

You wanna challenge him? He whips up on golf challenges, probably tennis too.

Not as long as he gets to keep his own score

 

[GiggerVol]

And the mom was MZTERRY.

Don't think that's correct. If my memory serves me correctly MZ Terry was Jason Croom's mom.

 

[dmwvol12]

Sounds like he is looking for any reason to not come back.

Not sure how we got here, but, still feel the root of this is on Kelsey Pope and staff.

Maybe a team that hasn’t had him for a year in practice thinks he’s worth more money than we do. Happens every year in the NFL. My uneducated guess is he thinks he’s worth more money than we do or a competing team does. You simply have to draw the line at some point because what you pay him affects what you can pay others. Simple economics.

All this about Spyre, coaches, playing time. Just red herrings. Let's just call it what it is.

Distractions and excuses to do whatever kid wants to do in first place.

You got this!

My Samsung watch is durable and has been crucial in helping me stay focus. I'd recommend it if you have Android.

Cardio machine big board:
1. Rower
2. Bike
3. Elliptical
4. Treadmill
5. Being kicked in the nuts
28373563. Stairmaster

Getting started is definitely tough but once you put that time in pen on the calendar, it's easier. Gotta have it on a schedule. Otherwise you'll lounge out of the time you have. I've done it.

Keep at it and remember how much better you feel when your second guessing it.

Agreed. I like my Garmin as well. Good pointers @RikidyBones and great work @VolsDoc81TX

What does the Samsung watch do, other than tell you calories burned? Pretend i'm a 5 year old

Agreed. In the end it’s all about getting the most money. All the other stuff is BS. Some players are smart enough to understand the long game but those are few and far between. That also would require some parents that actually taught and mentored their kids that there is more to life than biggest bag wins. Not too many 18-22 year olds would have that wisdom yet. Nor did I.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Fleetwood Mac has to be tops.

But Genesis and Floyd also come to mind.


Funny thing to me is Syd is the one that really ingrained the beautiful, genius madness into Floyd. The rest ran with it (extremely well).

Floyd: And much of their greatest material was in response to losing Syd.

Other bands that improved (their sound) by replacing their singer:

AC/DC
Van Hagar
Savatage
Motley Cru
Rage Against the Machine (AudioSlave) (They were great, great, great. But musically, Cornell was at the top of the game.)

My Garmin watch is incredible. I get close to 30 days on a charge. It can do all the fitness stuff, tracks my sleep, O2 levels, etc. It also controls the stereo on my boat, can control the auto pilot, and mirror the displays on my boat.

I don't trust where that cat plans on putting the thermometer.

You're the one using a meat thermometer on them.

Maybe I do over analyze. My takeaway from the MM VQ Pod was he is quiet, and close to family, sophisticated, mature young man. Has right priorities in mind. Iow, he aint dumb.

Has anyone heard that podcast? Ive linked int several times. No one has commented.



In the podcast, Mike Matthews. Not a handler, agent, Tony Clownsillyo, or anyone else. Mike Matthews answers question 'what do you want to do when you get older?'

Wants to start his own autonomous business, that makes money while he kicks back. Investments.

Anyone? Corollary? Connection?

So tell me again how this about Spyre, Pope, or anything else.

Don't worry about it. You don't need a watch, much less a Samsung watch. Now go to bed.

5 year olds sleep 8 hours. Wake up at 7.

What model?

 

[InVOLuntary]

What model?

I've got the Quatix 7 marine version. It's waterproof to like 10 meters.

Bpm, step counting, active time, body composition, oxygen, stress level (although IDK about this because mine is always low and I know damn well that vol football makes me want a cigarette even though I've never smoked), I enter blood pressure stuff and helps me keep track of it, sleep stats, etc. Within each workout option they have different stats. Like in running it'll have advanced metrics. The stats are wonky here because I was playing soccer for an hour and a half but when I'm running to run it'll show what I need to improve on but also let's me see those improvements over time for VO2 max.

Here's my route

 

[BigOrange15]

A smart watch to track my fitness has been nearly essential in getting in significantly better shape over the lats 6 months. You can get good ones a few years old for very little so if you are interested, it definitely doesn't hurt.

December 31, 1966

UT -18
Syracuse - 12

The 7-3 Vols were invited to play the 8-2 Syracuse Orangemen in the Gator Bowl. The Orangemen had one of the best rushing attacks in the country with Floyd Little and Larry Csonka. Syracuse had 348 yrds vs the Vols, but 4 turnovers (3 interceptions on 7 passes) helped keep them out of the end zone for the first half. Dewey Warren had two TD passes in the first half and led UT to an 18-0 lead. Warren finished with 244 yrds passing. Two touchdowns by Syracuse in the second half weren’t enough, as the Vols held on to win 18-12.

Austin Denny and Richmond Flower’s TD catches

I'd like to start a business that makes money while I do nothing. Any pointers?

Pimpin' aint easy. . .
