So a coach that used us for a raise (twice), a coach that left us for another school (right before signing day and started our multi-year misery) and a former coach of our in-state rival wants our BIGGEST RIVAL'S, former head coach and one of the whiningest, cheatingest, and shadiest pieces of crap on the planet, and the one I consider to be responsible for the current shape of college football, to become the commissioner of all of college football??? For TENNESSEE and most anyone not named alabama, this is the worst idea ever. The 🤡🤡🤡 need to shut up. It can't be anyone still associated with an university. Look what happened with the CFP Committee this year. This would be way worse than the SEC Headquarters being 45 minutes from bama's campus. It's an awful idea and shouldn't happen, which means it probably will. Terrible, just terrible. 🫤

Preach Possum. Literally one of the worst ideas I’ve ever seen or heard. Put me down for a hard, he!! No.

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.)

Just curious - RATM? I'm confused. Pretty sure Zack started RATM. Or maybe you were just talking Audioslave, not sure how to read that.

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

She was, but she was the mom who posted on the board all the time. I don’t remember any other moms around these parts other than Boo Carter’s mom for a hot minute.

Second the rowing machine recommendation! A concept 2 is loud as a Knoxville home game but it’s a great workout that I’ve been able to be consistent doing. $1,000 and it lasts forever.

Somebody taught me that the foundation of any training regimen is adherence. The workouts you do are always infinitely better than the workouts you don’t do. Because adherence is important, finding a workout you enjoy is also really important.

Also, I can’t cardio my way out of what I eat. An hour’s work on the erg is 800 calories, but so is 4 pieces of pizza that I can eat in 5 minutes. Strength training changes body composition much more effectively than cardio in that regard.

I always thought I would cardio my way out of it and I decided eff it and to start lifting. I use dumbbells. Just got an adjustable bench that holds 900lbs and folds up. Preacher curls and incline curls are monster workouts for biceps that I am discovering lol.

Lifting has made a substantial difference.

Idk if you were around when Arian Foster was here, but his mom and brother were active on here. Wasn't always pretty either.

I don't understand the commissioner talk at all. The NCAA is collectively the commissioner. We already have an entity filling that role. Why would we need an individual, regardless of his qualifications or biases, to do what the NCAA's job is to do? If we're done with the NCAA, let's overhaul the whole thing instead of just plugging in a new figurehead.

It's the Quatix 7 marine. They have one that is solar but it's ridiculously expensive.

Had a Fenix 5 for a while. They just dropped the Fenix 7 and Epix Gen 2 price due to the Fenix 8 coming out, so I got the Epix G2 (it's a Fenix 7 with AMOLED). Fenix 7 solar is available for $425 and the Epix was $499 for Sapphire/Titanium.

I wouldn't say they fill the same roles.

The NCAA is only there to enforce the rules as set by its member universities across 100s of members, at varying levels.

A commissioner can oversee the entire sport and it's overall health, as all pro commissioners do (or even as conference commissioners do in college sports).

The issue is league commissioners are controlling everything right now, to the detriment of the overall sport and other conferences. Imagine the NFL commish saying, "sure let teams move and have the AFC North be a behemoth with 8 of the best teams...and the AFC South can live 2 teams...their fans will probably just die off and stop caring, not my problem as long as the AFC North makes MORE MONEY".

Now, you could certainly have NCAA 2.0 to accomplish this (having a commissioner). No difference, but a new name would be cool 🤣

I agree. It’s bad enough having the SEC front office in Birmingham, having the NCAA commissioner living in Tuscaloosa with ties to Bama would be awful.
