Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolsDoc81TX]

Gonna go by and see Pebble and the others along 17 mile drive next month since we will be right there. I will never get to play them because I am a poor guy, but at least I can see them with my own eyes..lol.

The coastline is beautiful there. My wife and daughter went horseback riding while we were playing golf.
We had a great time walking on the beach, checking out the tidal pools. Just a really beautiful area. Don’t miss the aquarium. It has a huge glass wall that lets you look into the ocean. It’s not a tank at all. Carmel is a cool little town too. Some very good restaurants. The cost of any house in the area is so shockingly expensive that it’s laughable.

Colorado’s starting qb transferred after the spring, so it looks like Shrout is likely going to be the starter there

Good deal. Hope he has a great year. Underdevoloped and underutilized here the last 2 years. I truly believe he has the potential to make an NFL roster someday..

Steve called in to the Brent Hubbs hour just to say “hey fellas you already answered my question well okay fellas”

I don’t know why but this is just so pure and I kinda love it.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I'm excited about Small and Evans at RB, but damn I really hope Jaylen Wright jumps one of them. Kid is the perfect player for this offense.

 

[Ashevolle]

Lolol..



I hate this stupid freakfest world..

I love that you hate it

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Your doubts are legitimate..just nobody wants to hear it. Everybody wants to believe that for just one dang time..things will fall our way. I'm like you, I doubt they do, so I guess I'm pessimistic about THIS year, but I am really optimistic that these guys can turn us around and get us headed back to respectability if we just have patience...this staff has a very professional air about them...and that gives me hope things can actually get better with time...so see..really I am a sunshine pumper in disguise..

It always amuses me how the same guys that shout you down for being realistic\pessimistic, are the same ones that start screaming for coaches heads as soon as things don't go as swimmingly as they think it was going to.

My pessimism is gone. It was awful. I was beginning to think that it was terminal. It ended with the admin clearing out the rubbish. Baseball actually helped me to see a bright future again!


I truly feel like my old self again. Optimism is much more fun. 15-0 until it ain’t. Losing a game here and there won’t dampen the fire. Having coaches that truly coach and give well spoken intelligent interviews. Having a coach like Ekeler for a little crazy, having a coach like Garner for a gateway to the NFL, having a seriously good OL coach, a real QB coach, and a HC that actually understands the importance of the QB position, having a DC that is actually going to play aggressively, and having an entire coaching staff that wants to prove that they belong in the elite of the SEC, It all adds up to me being the most excited that I have been about Tennessee Football in over a decade.

ICNW…I Care Now Win!

AKv2

I wouldn't mind if he started at PR/KR and played a little this year at RB to get his feet wet in the SEC.

Sort of like Marquez Callaway

All those guys are gonna get multiple carries a game.

I’ve always felt bad for Shrout, I feel like the staff did him dirty most of the time he was here

Maybe. I worried about his decision making and td/int rate. He threw like 28ints his senior yr of high school, I believe. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't find out, though I couldn't imagine it being worse than what we did see.

Yea he was wild with the ball at times, but still deserved a better shot than what he got, still bugs me how JG threw 2 pick sixes and yet they only gave Shrout one series, regardless of the outcome

She struggled breast feeding directly best I recall. He couldn't get latched on well enough to get satisfied so she pumped for a few months. Fwiw, I truly think that every child who possibly can should be breast fed at least the first 6 months. I believe it's much healthier and you don't spend a fortune on the formula racket!

Ice Teas wife is still breast feeding her kid at 5 years old but she does appear to have ample storage for breast feeding

Any sane coach would've jerked him (JG) out of the game so fast his head would still be spinning. Our coaches were soft and ineffective.

From what we were told by people watching practice…… Shrout and the rest really struggled….. I can see why…. Throwing that first pass wouldn’t give you and confidence at all and pretty much verify what they had seen in practice….. That being said…. It was beyond time to move on from JG if you had to rotate the other three QBs.

 

[Batman1948]

I hope he’s played those courses. It’s a serious fashion faux pas to wear anything from a course you’ve never played.

Just saying

So, everyone wearing a shirt with a Masters logo needs to just throw it away and never wear it again

It will be a disaster..I do not understand how dummies can not see this..it literally blows my mind..

@Christian Lowe is a fine young American who wants each athlete to maximize their earning potential, as is the American way. This is fair.

However, and this is what most of us are countering with, this capitalistic mindset will be to the detriment of college sports as a whole while it is beneficial to the pieces (players) specifically. It can be both, and it will be both.

It’s going to be far less about the things we’ve come to love about the game, such as loyalty, fandom, growth, perseverance and growth and much more about who is working the biggest check. Sure, recruiting has always worked this way but heavy hitters would not risk getting their hands dirty. Just wait until Phil Knight decides he can generate monster profits for Nike by making Oregon the premier college program. Under Armour will funnel into Maryland and they will become a powerhouse for no reason other than the check that is written.

Good for the goose… bad for the gander.

 

[Brillovol]

Which one tastes like a Milky Way? Sorry

The salted caramel one. The double chocolate is more like a Riesen but less chewy. These seriously are the best protein bars on the market that I’ve had. Shipping is slow tho. Pretty sure they take the Oregon trail in a wagon.

[Batman1948]

The longer this goes on, and the more and more money players get paid, the more I feel certain that they'll eventuality try to cap player's earning potential in some way, shape, form, or fashion.

Who are they? The NCAA has opened up a big ole can of worms and you're just looking at free market enterprise. It's just like life now, you're gonna see something similar to 1 percenters in the college game. The biggest name players will pull in over 95% of the NIL revenue.

Thanks, I ****ing hate it.

It seems like they rushed it. Not in the sense it shouldn't be allowed, but in that they implemented it without any proper structure or parameters. It's like the wild west right now.

Plenty of carries to go around with that group with the number of plays we want to run. I just hope we also find ways to get Beckwith touches or find him a home position he can make impact at.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

There is a study at UT hospital right now: "Alliance for Multispecialty Research/Volunteer Research Group is currently seeking healthy volunteers for an inpatient study to determine the effect of food when given with a single oral dose of MDMA."

Wow, they are giving you ecstacy!

"For this trial we are looking for patients who have any experience with psychedelics such as LSD, Psilocybin mushrooms, Mescaline (Peyote or San Pedro cacti), Ibogaine, Ketamine, Ayahuasca, DMT and/or MDMA at any point during their lifetime."

"Participants will stay overnight in the study center and complete 2 stays of 4 days/3 nights with 1 end of study visit over 5 weeks. Compensation will be available for time and travel."

You get paid around $3,000+. Crazy. . . Dr. Smith runs it, gotta pay for that Vol Navy boat!
