Yeah...I am on a short leash, I like it here, you guys and gals are part of my life and I don't wanna get run again..you'd think being here forever would get you some leeway...but nope.

The leeway leads into history, thankfully I don’t have a lot here. It could look ugly on my part.

I hate to break it to you but TN sales tax isn't all that much more than other states with income tax.

Correct. We have a 6% income tax on top of sales tax from 7.45 to around 10 depending on locale.

Mine was the Cowboys in the late 70’s. Roger Staubach was a joy to watch.

I was a Steelers fan then, I have just always gravitated towards blue collar teams, even as a young kid, but I always admired and respected Staubach and Dorsett and the rest of the Pokes even though I hated them.

You so scared of going to basic training that you got COVID? That’s almost up there with the bleach drinkers.

Reception got me shook

Gopher, Everett?

Lol..nah...a third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without putting it back to bed..

Coaches make mistakes. They are not infallible. It is obvious we cannot compete with the big boy’s with JG. The best runningback in the NFL was second string at UT...

Sure they do. Does not mean that starting JG is a mistake. I am going to go with the guy making millions to win games over my own opinion. I think we should try someone else. But if Coach Pruitt thinks JG gives us the best chance to win, I'm all in. Does that make me a sheep. Maybe, but I doubt it. If I am, at least I'm an orange one.

 

[drvenner]

Crap. I am also beginning to loathe this time slot.

Speaking of MLB...I haven't followed it since I have lived up here, but I used to go to a few Rays games every year...so it's good to see them in the ALCS again, but I was watching them in game 5 against the Yankers the other night and realized....I don't know one guy on that team...That is why I can't get into MLB anymore..teams like the Rays can't keep stars, and to compete they have to have constant turnover...which means you can never really develop a relationship with teams like you could in the old days..


Money effin ruins every effin thing..

Actually, I commend TB for what they're able to do and how they've embraced their place in the baseball world. They develop their young players as well as any team in the game and make the necessary trade when required (even when it's dictated by their payroll limitations).

If you follow the team, you'd see a truly smart and well run organization regardless of which players suit up.

Not many teams are able to keep their players anymore, but it doesn't stop the team from succeeding.

Will something like this work?

Fried-Buehler is a friggin duel.

Might be a sell out, I liked the Steelers when Terry was QB. He was the so called “”dual threat” before that became a thing, when it was him being a scrambling QB.

That's you, not me...I grew up in an era where you grew attached to players because they were the same for years..not just the organization.

It has never been like being a Vol for me...the Vols represent me..my home..and what being Volunteers means. I will always be a Vol no latter what..but I could not care much less about MLB anymore.

I do commend them fir being good at what they do.

I thought this for a while myself. Then I looked around the SEC. Dan Mullen thought Franks was the guy. He got hurt then Trask came in and we saw what happened. Mullen is a supposed QB whisperer and even he didn’t see it til it was shown on the field. Same thing with Eason replaced by Fromm due to injury. Sometimes you just can’t count on practice players or the incumbent QB. There’s more to it than that. The only way to know for sure is give someone else the opportunity. I hope Jeremy grows as a coach and learns this lesson and gives someone else the chance to lead this offense because otherwise we’re looking at JG under center in 2021 at this rate.

Kinda like the Marlins, in the past. Maybe not as much feast or famine

I still call them Devil Rays

 

[drvenner]

Either that or Bailey just went Dad on the whole group and played all-time QB.

We had one of my friend's dad play it for us. He always sent my on a go pattern and that SOB never threw it to me.

 

[MemphisVol3]

I’m not a JG fan at all but this isn’t accurate. JG is on pace to exceed his production from last year. He still isn’t it, but I don’t think there is a qb coach in the country that can elevate the play of JG beyond what he’s doing. Hell the kid has worked with some outstanding qb coaches outside of the program and the mannings yet still only takes micro steps of progression.

Yeah it almost feels like they spent most of their resources trying to develop JG and he’s just not going to get much better.

That’s what gets me, fans questioning CJP starting JG. He sees the same things we do, plus things we don’t. I’ve always said, I won’t downgrade any player and I’ll keep my opinions on this to myself. Do any of you think Coach Pruitt would bet his salary and reputation on just one player if he didn’t think that was the best way to win?

2019 record...ATM 8-5, AU 9-4, UT 8-5

2020 record...ATM 2-1, AU 2-1, UT 2-1

Don't confuse him with the facts.

 

[drvenner]

If you think we're in a tier with Texas A&M and Auburn, then you still need a reality check.


Texas A&M's losses last year were to the #1, #8, #1, #4 and #2 teams in the nation. Tennessee lost to Georgia State and BYU. We also squeaked out close wins against Kentucky, Missouri and Indiana.

Texas A&M also just beat Florida. Come talk to me about this comparison the next time UT beats Florida.

Stay down.

Child, if you gave me your number, I wouldn’t be able to remember it.

Not questioning your memory but what if I gave you a life alert instead....

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Not questioning your memory but what if I gave you a life alert instead....

I’ll probably take you up on that in a few, probably need it then.

 

[drvenner]

I'm a fool because I disagreed with your opinion? Nice. Bye.

The last bastion of someone getting pole axed in an argument is to resort to name calling.
