Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volinexile17]

We are not that far behind...... There are only two rosters in the SEC that are loaded and that is Bama and Georgia. It’s true..... we don’t know a lot of things but why worry about unknowns..... Here is the facts that we know:
1. We will have an exciting offense
2. JH has always had a competent qb
3. Win or lose his teams are always fun
4. Rodney Garner is one of the best DL/recruiters in the country
5. Willie Martinez put several DBs in the NFL
6. DW has proven to be one of the top AD’s in the country and is great at selling his programs
As for recruiting..... we won’t know what this class looks like for awhile..... even then we don’t know if guys are rated correctly due to covid.....we just have to sign solid football players that stay in the program with very few complete misses. We are just now allowed to get our first players on campus.

I’m excited to have an offense that can score. At least the games might be fun to watch.

Willie M - meh. Our DBs underachieved when he was here before. Georgia fans didn’t like him either. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Think our defense is gonna be pretty rough for a few years.

They make a device that you put on your knee. You can put it over the bandages and stuff. It has a tube that runs to a cooler. You put ice in the cooler along with some water. It circulates cold water continuously all around the knee via a small pump. The doctor prescribed one for my wife when she had her hip done. It was for the knee but we made it work. It will cool the knee down through that wrapping.

It was awesome.

Great suggestion. Will check it out.

Someone needs a new avi. We're ditching everything Pruitt.

Sorry, but I just can't part ways with the Gump look just yet.

Embarrassing

But STATS!!!

He out here losing at home in the first round to Devon Booker and the corpse of Chris Paul hahahahahahaha! Imagine thinking he’s the goat

While TN is just focused on CBD look what the 2nd largest employer in the US is doing.
Amazon To Stop Testing Many Workers For Marijuana And Will Lobby Congress For Federal Legalization

Late response here, but folks are crazy if they think Amazon is doing this for any reason other than the fact the job pool has completely dried up. This is not a virtuous company at all.

For those not in the business world right now, let me warn you: it’s not pretty and get ready to feel it in the pocketbook.

Jimmy Johnson was greater than all of them. He was so dominate that NASCAR was forced to change the way the championship is won now. After he won 5 championships in a row, they fixed the system so it will never happen again---16 driver playoff over 10 races with 4 drivers being eliminated after every third race.

maybe...what has he done since the split with Chad Knaus

yeah our office is fine, but we're in desperate need for floor workers right now. we're supposed to have 8 fork lift operators, right now we have 2. no one shows up for interviews, and the ones that do start working here only stay for a few days. it's gotten insane.

Everybody waiting on another check! Don’t want to work!!!

[Devo182]

Applied for my Masters again. Tried for over 10 years. Maybe this will be the time. ️️

As did I, but only for my mom. I assumed if I won, I'd just get the tickets for her. But then I read a 4-day package can go for as high as $7,000 online and now I am rethinking just how much my honestly to her is worth

College football is dead RIP. This will escalate the rich getting richer

It is only dead if you let it be dead. I still derive a lot of joy from watching Tennessee and from watching a ton of games on Saturday. I am not sure if it will ever normalize and bring more teams to the highest level, but if it
is college football, I'm watching.

Well when this is the demographic you’re trying to hire, it’s going to be hard. No one in the replies to that disagrees. All of them talking about how a 40 hour work week should be illegal. Kills me, the best time in human history to be alive and everyone thinks they’re living in the worst.

One of my favorite stories. I knew Babe got thrown out, but did not know he punched the umpire. I think Shore picked the runner off first also.

 

[Batman1948]

He retired from NASCAR and is running part time in Indy Cars with Penske. Knaus has a big cushy job with Hendrick's racing. My point being that NASCAR changed their championship formula because he was winning every year and they wanted parity. Now, it's a different winner every year.

Yeah, we build steering gears for Toyota and several other car brands. We top out at 21 in three years and still can’t get people in the door. We’ve been working 7 days a week since coming back from COVID-cation.( No really we have maybe a day or two in between) I just don’t understand why the pool has dried up.

The attitudes I see from people, the absurdity of "woke" culture, I'm not sure how this can be considered the "best time in human history". There is a lack of real leadership in this country(and there has been for some time) and really the world. We have people living in fear of disease and violence. We have more people at each others' throats over politics. And there doesn't really seem to be a change on the horizon.

So yeah, I gotta disagree on that whole "best time" thing.

$600 a week unemployment checks for a year and a half, $1500 stimulus checks every 4 months.

A little depressed listening to the newest episode of Locked on Vols. Eric Cain of VQ is the host doesn't believe we will have a top 20 recruiting class.

We shouldn't expect to see much better than top 30 to 40, that is our new reality. The football program was all but nuked.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That was one of my Dads favorite words.
When I’d tell him that its not a word, he would say, ”well, it damn sure should be”.

I wish he would have said,

“Irregardless, I’m still going to say it.”

 

[TrippieRedd]

watched this like 37 times in the past hour.

I tend to see the football program as being 'Cleansed', but to each their own. We'll come no where close to finishing with a class that low, regardless of NCAA penalties.

With fierce passion, I hate the song “Crocodile Rock”

In an equal amount, I despise the mockery of England knighting pretty much anyone they choose to
