Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Vols4us]

My response had nothing to do with how the game was called tonight. The subject was Pat Adams. If you know college basketball, you know he’s bad. Some nights, maybe he’s average. But he’s proven it over time.

The nothing to see here naysayers about the truth of officiating always amaze me. Either they have been officials themselves and are defensive, or, they are people who always want to take the other side in a discussion or argument.

Just like Teddy Showtime was; Pat Adams and Doug Shows along with their crews are legends at being inconsistent, call it even if it did not happen, ignore it if it serves your purpose - type officiating. The UF game was made worse by Shows and crew even though we did not have it that night.

Some people just say they do head scratching calls at times to be nice. That is not what happens. There is method to their madness each and every season.

You can be good and still feel like it’s still not enough. And even though that feeling doesn’t feel good it’s what drives you to get better and eventually become great.

I’m glad that the fanbase isn’t satisfied with winning 30 games in the past 3 years because good can absolutely be the enemy of great. So don’t accept anything less than great my friends, you deserve it just as much as the rest of our fanbase.

"Deserve" is a massively overused word. When you are constantly looking for happiness in the future, you will never actually have it. So, perhaps we each get what we "deserve".

Happy Sunday

January 12, 2025: Beloved, it is God's desire that you would reach a level of being habitually conscious of the Holy Spirit. That is to walk and live in the Spirit and never deviate from being one with the Lord. This will take deliberate effort and determination in the beginning, but if you persist it will become as natural as breathing. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

That is not enough. 3 baskets a game will not change the way the other teams defend him. He needs to be in double digits to make the other team gaurd him. At least try and draw fouls and get to the line.

He was aggressive in the first half last night. The offense got production from Dubar and ZZ in the second half, and he wasn’t needed.

Don't make snow angels at a dog park.

Yep. Since Ellen bought Twitter, the algorithm has been 🗑
Most of twitter is just fear porn and rage engagement. Plus, you have a ton of Vol accounts tweeting racist memes and other garbage. Anyone who says something gets shouted down as not being able to take a joke. Then when you give them the business, they get sensitive.
Social media is just a hate and porn circle jerk, no matter the site.

Who is ellen?

I don’t agree with 20% on these deals but I can understand higher %s because often times the players who get larger NIL deals are only at that given school for 1-3 years. Not like a pro contract that can be +/- 5yrs depending on the sport with massively larger numbers.

That makes no sense---a percentage of a contract is just that. It doesn't have anything to do with the length of the contract. Once the contract is up, the agent negotiates the next contract---for a percentage

No way anything good happen in these.

The longer the contract, the longer they get a % from that contract == more money and relatively passive income from your time in negotiations?

As with DeerPark, LWS and other legit insiders, there’s having sources and then there’s overshooting your coverage and superimposing a personal OPINION as INFORMATION.

Darlingstone stepped up big time last night. Made some key baskets when we needed them. All road wins are good wins.

Milk sandwiches are still the South’s preferred meal during a snowstorm.

Ice hockey?

 

[drvenner]

Not my type

Dan's not my type, either.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Ice hockey?

They may look crude, but they’re much closer to what we have in the modern era than the organ music played at Neolithic-era hockey games.
