Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Everyone always overreacts to losses in basketball.

This team is paper thin, our style of defense is physically taxing and it exacerbates that problem..it just it is what it is.

This is what we always are...a really good team with easily identifiable flaws.

And just like I always do...I love them for playing so hard and gritty...Rick Barnes teams are always easy to root for.
Not to mention the SEC looks like the toughest conference we have ever seen.

The fanbase freaking out over road losses to NCAA tournament level teams, is peak idiot margin!

They seriously don't understand college basketball at all.

Tennessee is ELITE in basketball for going on EIGHT seasons.

19-20 they were on the bubble and at worst make the NIT in a rebuilding year, otherwise

17-18 (26-9) co-regular season champs, 3 seed, 1 NCAA win.

18-19 (31-6) 2 seed, Swt 16

20-21 covid year (18-9) 5 seed

21-22 (28-7) SEC title, 3 seed, 1 NCAA win

22-23 (25-11) 4 seed, Swt 16

23-24 (27-9) SEC champs, 2 seed, Elite 8

Currently 16-2 working on another trip to the tournament, another high seed.

We are always ranked, been ranked number one several times, beaten number one teams, countless good teams in the regular season.

There is hardly anyone better than Tennessee basketball right now and we are a football school.

Peak insanity if anyone has serious issues with the program right now.
 
Just want to get this out in the open, I have no intention of arguing with anyone:

If you go in the specific thread DEDICATED to a 5* WR we are recruiting hard, competing with the likes of UGA, Bama etc and trash OUR WR Coach saying "he can't develop talent" etc...

That is a problem. Dont know if you were drunk or just not bright, but that's a bad idea. For obvious reasons I am not gonna explain to you. Assuming you are actually a UT fan, it’s a reasonable expectation for you to NOT do that. There are lots of threads where people can and unfortunately do complain about our coaches. In the threads named specifically FOR our most important recruits, which ARE read by them and their families...that's no good. Let's refrain from doing that in the future. I hope the posts in there get deleted.
click “Report” on those posts in the player thread, and paste in your comment (above). Mods need to do something imo. They can say that sh-t somewhere else, if they have to.

If you go to the emergency room to have an abscess drained, should you go back if it starts filling up again as soon as you get home? Where are our VN doctors?
Isn’t one of your best friends supposed to be a dentist?

Apparently, it was a cyst that got infected, at least that's what the ER doc said. He drained it and removed at least most of the cyst wall. It was a fun way to spend this afternoon. Thing was like the size of an egg. Anywho, it seems to be filling back up. As a liver transplant recipient, I'm immuno-suppressed. Should I be concerned. I know @VolsDoc81TX won't read this for a few more days, and I could be dead by then, so I was hoping we had another VN doctor currently up to date.

Not a Doc, dont mess around with it. I would call someone asap. Is there a 24 hour nurseline? Id had for you to become really ill
 
I'll probably just wait until tomorrow and call my PCP. What's the worst that can happen?
Not a medical doctor, but the worst would sepsis or a serious blood infection. I’m with Jack, I’d definitely call the nurse line. Or look into doing a Telehealth call. I believe some of those are 24 hours and would be cheaper than the ER.
 
Tough to make good statistical sense of how good the Star Thomas pickup is.

To his credit, it seems Duke just wasn't very effective at running the ball last year. But he was the most effective.

At NMSU he was much more effective, YPC wise.

All to say, I trust the staff when it comes to the run game scheme and RBs and hopefully he was toward the top of their transfer board.

I'm going to echo Telehealth. It can at least give you some peace of mind if it's something that can wait until tomorrow.

My unprofessional opinion not being any kind of doctor but seeing every possible skin infection known to man through wrestling:

He didn't put you on any kind of antibiotic?? Cyst or not, if the infection needs to be drained, usually the next thing that happens is an aggressive antibiotic treatment.

I would not wait around on that one. Not with your liver.
