Lay off the breast milk. You're milk drunk.

Pharmaceutical happy pills. Living a better life through science.....don't judge.

I don't judge.

I know you don't but if I was judging those are nice ones.... but I digress.

Grant Ferking, Bumpus, and Cade all with deals

He tried to get around him bc the drunk idiot was blocking the path. He tried to just walk past, but the guy said something or possibly touched his back. When he turned around the guy flinched at him like he was going to hit him. He reacted and knocked the idiot out. He could’ve pounded his face into the ground, but he just walked away. I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. Would you just wait until the drunk idiot hit you?? I don’t understand your rationale

I see something different. I see a bully take the first punch and seriously injure another guy. Doesn’t matter what he said. He wasn’t a threat and he didn’t strike first.

And yes, I would wait until a drunk idiot hit me, although I doubt he would because I wouldn‘t have been rude in the first place. As for the other guy, that’s assault. He could have killed that guy. He does that to me, assuming I’m still conscious, he’ll get several 9mm rounds to the chest.

Didn’t think about this, certainly helps UT.

Yo that Beibs+Luda song was nice

His new album is actually gaining a lot of respect...Complex ranked it #2 album of the year
That song with Chance The Rapper

Trying my best Suave impression.

Lmao Devooo #JustSayNo to the Beibs

 

[Smokeytom]

wth is going on up there? really bad look

It sucks, but I’m just not concerned about it with CRG at the helm. He will get that position right. No doubt.

Hopefully, but even a good coach is limited by the talent he has. A couple of injuries and depth will be an issue. A big issue.

Even scarier will be next year. We lose so many players on defense. This recruiting class will need to be defense heavy. I'm curious if Heupel will feel the same, or if he'll focus on his offense at the expense of our defense. Currently, we have like 36 scholarship defense players, far as I can tell. We lose at least 12 after the season. Comparatively we have 40 scholarship offense players and lose at least 10. Then there's 3 special teamers, and we lose 2, but didn't we take a walk-on kicker or punter, or maybe both? So from what I can tell, we're at 79 scholarship players atm. If we find a walk-on DB, we'll be at 80.

It really is scary how bad we lack depth. Keeping guys healthy will be huge.

My comment was not made with an imminent mindset. Idk how Heupel will do if given 5 years, but 5 years of CRG and I feel confident our DL will be a strength of the team.

I don't disagree. I was just pointing out he doesn't have a lot to work with atm. That's more an indictment of what the previous staff left him with.

Mississippi State pitcher having trouble throwing strikes.

Just catching up Weez. This is funny. I missed the early part of the game, but saw where MissSt had a no hitter through 7 and a 3rd

 

[Smokeytom]

Lmao. The NCAA is not in any way connected to the federal government.

It’s called an analogy and it 100% holds. NCAA is a central authority that oversees a bunch of smaller, autonomous authorities which would probably do just fine completely out from under the central authority’s oversight.

He walked a couple in the first, I think. Got out of it with a DP.

July 1st is here
I am available for hire. If you need lotto numbers , weather forecast or sports picks just hit me up in my DMs



Also have a 24 hr hotline for lawn mower repair .50 first minute and $100 a minute afterwards

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Seriously? None of that at all justifies physical assault in that manner. He will be charged and should be. He will be forced to pay a large civil suit and he should be. It is not the year 500 A.D.

While it looks savage I guess you should make an act like you are going to hit someone. It isn’t okay that the drunk guy, (yes he was drunk) but he moved to act like he was going to hit him. He doesn’t know the guy, just so happens he turns out to be a fighter. He got hit like 3 times and goes night night.

I think the drunk guy Learns a lesson from this. Also, this society is getting so soft lol

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Far from tax free. Same as acedemic scholarships. Costs beyond tuition and related expenses are taxable - namely room and board and stipends for athletes, IRS doesn't care if you have an academic or athletic scholarship. If it isn't for tuition or books, taxes are due.

Stipends are non-taxable. This is incorrect. You don’t pay taxes on anything like that especially not room and board. All of this is figured into your “scholarship”

Struggling business owner: “Man sales are low! What can we do to boost our business?”

Assistant to the Regional Manager - “Have you reached out to the cornerback for the Garden City Community College Busters? His DMs are open they say!”

I find it funny all these college kids think they are going to make so much money lol , do they not realize that you have guys who are in the pros who barely make any money off of endorsements and names and likeness?

Only the really good players are going to make money off of that.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Not saying that…saying they are both worthless parasites.

I mean you can’t just link all “Federal Government” into this lol. It’s funny but when you all the sudden lose $100,000 dollars to fraud, schemes, and whatever who do you go searching for…. That’s right the Federal Government.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Reflects on our talent we had. lol

People wanted him because he was an in state athlete. ( We’ve got to recruit in state )

Well, there is a difference in recruiting in-state athletes and actual athletes from in-state that can produce on the D1 level. This staff seems to get that.

 

[UTK]

NIL should be huge for us. A program with tradition and the only major program in state. Kids that play well here will make an absolute killing with how passionate this area is for the Vols.

I disagree with all of that and really don’t see where you’re coming from at all. You can’t flinch at someone in a bar like you’re going to hit them and not expect consequences. That was the first threatening move made, and the fighter didn’t wait around for another one. He then quickly showed restraint once the threat was neutralized.
Have you never been in a bar fight? A little extreme to say you would kill someone with a gun for punching you. That’s a serious problem in the world

Yep - he had like 49 pitches in the first two innings. But man, did he get it fixed after that.
