Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UpstateVol613]

I could see him getting a deal with Affliction T-shirts or Squatted Trucks.

 

[JCVol00]

I highly doubt many businesses are lining up to pay a 3rd string QB to do promotions for them.

4th string*

 

[Weezer]

The amount of our fans that get upset over student athletes trying to make a possible easy quick buck is alarming….you guys should use that same energy on a fired AD who graciously took his retirement package because he loved this university so much lol

If we were a good team, I doubt you'd see any animosity.

Pretty sure many of us have attacked Fulmer in some form or fashion. I respect what he did as a player and coach, and will always have love for him in those roles, but he was a horrible AD.

 

[Vfl2407]

Would you rather listen to Kesling call a game

Or

Watch a Vandy baseball game with the Vandy whistler(s)?

choice three: being forced to Watch the last 10 UT-Bama football games with a room full of Bamafans catered byVegans and the only drinks were soy and almond milk.

Once the the whole thing goes into effect, players would be dumb not to try and capitalize on it. Even if it's the back up punter, or third string long snapper.

 

[Vfl2407]

I can't stand his voice and I also want the voice of the Vols to be a show a little bias towards UT.

I’d settle for getting the down and distance and time correct.

This…it’s dumb to get angry over them wanting to make easy money if businesses are dumb enough to go that route

 

[Volitaire]

Why don’t you go CHAZ up Phil Fulmer Way and cry about it some more.

The only ppl crying right now are the ones continuing to post our players tweets upset over them trying to take advantage off their names

 

[UTMVol76]

I agree continuing to post player tweets about them offering their name and likeness for money is beating a dead horse.

I don’t see how everyone can be living their life in ease, resting well in bed tonight when there are snails being poisoned off the coast of Burma and there’s a certain former AD getting away with it even though he was caught by those pesky kids and their dog.

Tell me more about these snails off the coast of Burma....

10-2

At least your consistent.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I'm very fragile. You won't need sticks and stones.

Oh you’re tougher than you think…sticks and stones will be fine.
Remember that you are kinda hard headed…sticks and stones will just bounce off…

 

[SmokinBob]

Meh that's just indicating they've put out a shiz ton of individual albums, not total sales.

Here's the ugly truth of total certified sales (millions) by the RIAA (fwiw it seems The Eagles would be #1 for US bands at 120mm units)

Eagles - my all-time favorite band

I'm not quite as fragile as @InVOLuntary 's ego, but I'm still extremely breakable. The last five years have done a number.

 

[Weezer]

Sometimes it's hard to carry on conversations in 2 different forums. Especially when one conversation is more of an argument and the other is light-hearted.

 

[engineerVOL]

[Ten_Titans]

Obligatory

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Eagles - my all-time favorite band

Rolling Stones for me, but the Eagles are close

 

[Weezer]

If I had to pick one band as my favorite, it would be The Beatles. They changed the face of music.

Other sentimental favorites, Led Zeppelin, Steve Miller Band, Beach Boys (Brian Wilson is/was a musical genius), the Doors....I could probably name a lot.

It's kinda like a lot of people, myself included, are being told there isn't a tooth fairy. Even though we all know that NCAA D1 Football and Basketball are the Minor Leagues for the NFL and NBA having players make money on the side just affirms what we have chosen to somewhat try to ignore for the last several years. It just absolutely ends "Amateur" sports as we've wanted to remember it. There will never be a way to regulate it because it is so broad on the surface (since they can't even regulate what they have now). It's just what the Pro's, Sponsor's and big money schools have wanted for the last 20 years. Basically forcing the NCAA (they should have changed years ago) to become irrelevant over the next few years and starting their own league.

Of course there's a Tooth Fairy. That's where you get your Skittles and breast milk.

SKITTLES ...yes.....Breast milk .....no.

 

[Weezer]

SKITTLES ...yes.....Breast milk .....no.

Milk does the body good....

I was actually having a "lucid" thought and if you take the money the SEC and BIG 10 make on TV revenue alone there is no way the other conferences can compete when it comes to generating revenue to "Pay" players. Some schools like Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma and maybe a few others like USC. Oregon, Stanford and Clemson can generate big bucks and maybe a few other ACC schools but overall that's pretty much it. Then you get into state schools vs private and on and on. Now you have the Government both State and Federal making rules for college sports who would have ever thunk it...........not me and I have coloring books and Crayons and I'm on a steady diet of Skittles.............go figure.
