Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Orangeredblooded]

Not sure. Explain it to me and I’ll try to walk you through it.

I’m still trying to erase it from my memory. I just remember a pose, football uniform....

Your brother hangs out at the high school?? Does he know David Ubben?

I don’t get the Ubben hate on here? Because he’s not homer?

He takes pot shots at the program. For example when the kid made his own t-shirt and the fanbase embraced the story and bought replicas enmasse. He alleged that university didn’t give him any of the proceeds…flat lie. He’s tamer now but he was wont to tweet some real smartass barbs. Sole reason I don’t subscribe to the Athletic.

What Butchna said, plus he sells cigarettes and molly to kindergartners. Looking to take his racket into preschools.

I heard he’s the guy that gave the pack of reds to the baby on the cover of Van Halen’s 1984

He’s a real entrepreneur, always looking to expand his business into the market.

Heard he was the one who really stomped the toilet kitty and framed Beasley.

He seems to write interesting articles and actually talks to people/does research compared to the bland coverage everywhere else.

Who knew kindergartners were so knowledgeable?

Must be the Molly.

He does. The Athletic in general does a GREAT job at long-form and original content. Ubben's articles are far better than VQ/247 non-recruiting articles. Those outlets seem to put out regurgitated, boring stuff most of us here already know. Guys at TA dig deeper for articles and I enjoy them a lot more.

To answer your 1st Q - Yes, him not being a homer doesn't help with some. Though, to be fair to others, he lacked tact and timing early on. I think he's reeled it back after seeing how nutty Vol Twitter is.

I like his content, but I'm also his primary cigarette distributor, full disclosure.

Who is this Molly you speak of? Ringwald? Do you know where she is?

How do you live with yourself?

That UTC article Ubben wrote was incredible.

Ubben and Toppmeyer are the two best reporters on UT football. Coincidentally they are the two most hated, because they tell it how it really is, and the truth of UT football for the last decade hurts. Jmo.

Yes, technically, but IQ mostly follows a normal distribution, so mean and median should be the same-ish.

 

[VolNash17]

Cam looks ready, GBO!

He sells bootleg cigarettes to elementary school students.

Bad sign when even the UT-Chattanooga coaches knew exactly what the Pruitt-Chaney offense was going to do...couldn't stop it with their talent, but it was foreboding.

I grew up in a military family. It's always troubled me what our military gets paid when compared to what athletes, celebrities, etc. get paid. We pay our entertainers far, far more than our defenders.

I think mil mindset is one of equality, brother/sisterhood over financial gain. Imagine if we paid 7figures to Seals who would do it without the money. 1) we'd have Jersey Shore trying out for BUDS 2) there'd be fewer cool toys

Leave the old man alone. At his age, we're lucky he still responds.

At his age, I hope he has a nurse on standby.

Next he's gonna ask about the Applebees hype. Smh.

 

[Catbone]

That's what happens when you suit up on a professional Georgia sports team

I hear they have great food, anything you’d recommend?

Who do you think types his responses for him? No way those gnarly old fingers type that fast.
