Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Brillovol]

The fight song for Tennessee Polytechnic Institute (Tennessee Tech University today), was written and copyrighted in the mid-1950's. The band director at the time, a WWII veteran and native of tiny Silver Point, TN, was the writer of the song. He was also a TTU alumnus and a faculty member at the time.

It was after this time the director left TTU to assume the band director position at UT, a role he would hold for over 30 years. The man's name is Dr. WJ Julian. Notable accomplishments under Dr. Julian's direction include the uniforms which he designed, the circle drill, and the forming/opening of the "T" for the football team. We can also thank him for introducing "Rocky Top" to fans in Neyland (minus the "woo").

Football traditions as we know it wouldn't be the same without his direction. I would be remiss if I didn't say I am proud a fellow Putnam Countian and alumnus of Tennessee Tech has made such valuable contributions to our beloved Vols.



And now you know...the rest of the story.

Doesn’t really even need to be a push. Sometimes a lascivious look that I catch is all it takes. Dad, monster hunter, serial killer, superhero, supervillain, destroyer of worlds…all synonyms

5. A squirt or two of breast milk in a cup of coffee is great creamer!

How’d the wife react to you getting that squirt

I worked with him when I was in charge of the Color Guard in the mid 1980's. He was, ahem, very intense.

In better basketball news....

Kennedy Chandler, Huntley-Hatfield, Aidoo and Justin Powell have all impressed over the last month but that Chandler is just on a different level than his classmates and looks as good as advertised.

Chandler doesn’t have a perfect record when the team splits up and plays five-on-five but we’ve been told whichever side he’s on wins the overwhelming majority of the time.

One program insider also told us recently that Chandler is the most mentally tough player the Vols have had since Grant Williams left and that even as a freshman he’s capable of taking whatever Rick Barnes throws at him without it affecting his attitude or effort.

You need elite guard play to win the tournament. This bodes well for UT. Chandler was always a great prospect. He'll do well here.

I also saw the CB for Cason Wallace. Dude is a prime defender

Didn't get married til I was 29 1/2 and the wife and I spent 3 yrs taking trips etc before we decided it was time for a child. Son was born when I was 33. Things I learned:
1 Let them cry.
2. Don't let the baby or child sleep in the same bed as you and your spouse.
3. If your wife is able to breast feed successfully, great. If not use the pump then bottle feed.
4. We had great success placing our baby on a blanket on top of the dryer with it running for some colic. When that didn't work, a little drive around the subdivision for a few minutes did the trick.
5. A squirt or two of breast milk in a cup of coffee is great creamer!

I like it all but five. Never lol. And I used to drive my first around all the time to get her to fall asleep and then take her back to bed.

I’m leery of VQ summer updates, though. They had me convinced last year that we were capable of winning the NBA finals.

Last years team was ruined by not being able to practice together until the season was basically already in swing. I think this year should be a lot better. Finally have a true point guard as well

First night we let kiddo #1 cry it out--he cried for probably like 90 minutes. We just watched a movie and let him cry it out. Checked on him every 20-30 minutes. Night number 2 was like 20 minutes. Night 3 like 3 minutes. Night 4, no crying.

Dr. Julian was an....intimidating man. Getting yelled at by him was never fun.

lmao, Try marching for him.

#1 was colic and reflux. #2 had reflux. #3, poor guy. just gets to cry.

kudos to you for being strong.

Sleep training! We sleep trained ours at 5 months and it was life changing.

With both of ours, my wife had them trained and sleeping through the night before or at six weeks old. Awesome mom!

How do I get excited for football? I haven’t paid attention to anything going on with our football team since the coaching search. I’m just not into it. But it’s gonna be real boring if I just check out until November when basketball starts

 

[T Dog]

Most dads think shotgun, or even an axe, but these can be fairly intimidating as well.

Send him that pic and this gif and all is well.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I have tried to play nice but that is out the window. The next one that is lucky enough to get to actually take her on a date is going to probably piss his pants before the date gets started.

I was always cleaning an AR when boys came over to the house.

Start with the fact we have a head coach that can string together a cohesive sentence. Couple that with a modern day offense and one of, if not the best, DL coach in all of college football. Appreciate the process and watch it mirror what Vittello and Barnes have done in building the baseball and basketball programs. Then, four years from now when successful, don't go into every thread in every forum and talk about how Coach Hype is leaving UT for what you perceive to be a better job. (j/k - kinda).

Doc was on a ship in WWII that was sunk by kamikaze attack IIRC. I remember there was a story among the band that he was a war hero that helped save some of his crewmates. I'm not sure if it was accurate as I never heard it straight from him, but I could believe it. He was tough as nails.

Willy on Hubbs call in show..,

Wilkerson just said ...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think this will be a redemption year for the basketball team. I’m glad one of the freshmen didn’t get hurt and it was fulky if it had to be somebody. He doesn’t lose much for missing a couple months of practice compared to them

Yeah I hate it for Fulky, would love for him to just get a full year of healthy play. But it has a silver lining as this will force the other bigs to get more meaningful reps that he would otherwise get himself.

I know in the team picture BHH looks the part...he's a big one!

Hahah. I don’t think our football job is in danger of having a coach taken away. Facilities are up there, not the best but certainly in the top 1/3 of the conference. Baseball was worrying because of how far behind the facilities are.

I post in this thread, but I haven’t posted in the actual recruit threads in over a year
