So I heard about this on the radio this morning.

'Spooky' Couple Goals? Woman Claims She is Married to 'Cookie-loving' Ghost of Michael Jackson (news18.com)

Says she's Marilyn Monroe reincarnate and she married Michael Jackson's ghost in a ceremony officiated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


@TrippieRedd - I think your mom got into your stash.

My little six year old is up coughing his head off from allergy congestion/drainage and I’ve done everything I can think to do… drives me nuts when he feels bad and can’t sleep.

sometimes we’d steam up the bathroom and sit in there with our kids.…other times we’d use Vick’s.

Had the chance to speak with a few VFL's at a golf tournament. Phil Fulmer is still all VOL but with a slight hint of hurt, Deon Grant could play today and Al Wilson was not as big as I remembered. ALL were GREAT guys to speak with.

New Athletic article looks super interesting. They interviewed tennessee high school coaches but kept it anonymous, allowing them room to be honest about how UT has recruited their schools over the years.

Coach 4: Tennessee has to bring the sizzle and the glamor back to the program. But they can’t do that by just recruiting four- and five-star kids in the state, because Alabama will get the ones they want anyway. They’ve got to get the two or three in-state difference-makers that fit them, that will contribute at an early age. Because with the transfer portal, a kid will come back to UT from Alabama if his buddy is having a great experience at UT and is playing. … (The Vols) can’t just chase stars. They have to chase kids who can contribute right away and are the right kind of guys.

Should I pretend to be offended now?

depending on where you stand that's sadly prob a compliment.

“Say the Tennessee beat is over-saturated
with coverage without saying it’s over-saturated.”

Glad the new coaches are doing the opposite.

At what point during the screening process of picking a new HC for UT did Fulmer decide this was the guy he wanted to represent UT lol wow such trash

Eating and arses in the same sentence is pretty much calamitous with or without a comma.

I hope Cam..uh I mean Joe, Herschel’s him

*And Bob Joyce is Elvis. Check it out. These people are bluffing. Word on the internet fringes is that many apparently deceased celebrities are in the witness protection program. This must be controlled opposition to that narrative. One has to work for their entertainment these days.

Shot of whiskey should do the trick.

My dad used to give us that sometimes for coughs. He also used to mix salt and sugar in a small bowl and we’d lick our finger, stick it in the bowl, then our mouth - crazy but it seemed to work!

 

[jave36]

This one was a rub! Probably will try just salt and pepper on the next one though!

With beef, you can't beat kosher salt and coarse black pepper. But something tells me I'd devour whatever you used regardless haha

 

[thistime]

I think a bright future is ahead for the Big Orange..........time will tell but we may have finally gotten a real football coach and coaching staff for a change.

It was a great article. What I thought was interesting and contrary to what may be intuitive, is that the NCAA investigation cloud hasn't had much of an impact on recruiting. One coach said it lost us a player, but four other coaches said it had no impact. Additionally, every coach said that other schools aren't using the investigation as a negative recruiting tactic against us.

It just knocks them out because they're drunk haha.

Seriously though, alcohol is good for a cold because it kills the virus or bacteria, but horrible for allergies because it dries out the already raw tissue and irritates the cough even more.

Elvis is dead, but Tupac and Biggie are alive and well living in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Thanks! My nephew just moved here. College grad, new job with Honeywell. Taking him to eat at Charlie Palmer’s steakhouse tonight.

You guys are making me sad. My daughter just moved up there to go to grad school at Georgetown. It’s only been 4 days but I miss her already

 

[SmokinBob]

Immune system has nothing to do with something caused from allergies….. so any type of topical treatment isn’t going to matter.

@ACvol3 needs to utilize allergy medicine like @VolsDoc81TX and I said

I can’t take Benadryl - makes my heart “flutter” - does the same to my daughter.

Interesting takeaways from the Athletic article:

Nothing particularly positive written about Pruitt, some extremely negative stuff about his interactions with Tennessee high school coaches (most of which has been screenshot on twitter already). Tee, Osovet, and Cheney mentioned as positives from that staff, tho. Old staff mostly about just getting the guys they wanted, business is business, and that was it. New staff approaching recruiting from a relationship perspective. Even if a high school doesn't have SEC-caliber players, new UT staff still stays in contact. Heup, Golesh, Elarbee, and Mack mentioned as having a lot of contact.

When asked about future NCAA sanctions, all but one HS coach said they didn't think it would have any effect. Mentioned that most HS players are numb to the idea since seemingly most programs are under investigation for one thing or another with very little in the way of repercussions. No HS coaches report hearing other schools using possible NCAA sanctions to negative recruit us.

Asked if Heup can turn UT around, one coach had an interesting answer: "Tennessee has to bring the sizzle and the glamor back to the program. But they can’t do that by just recruiting four- and five-star kids in the state, because Alabama will get the ones they want anyway. They’ve got to get the two or three in-state difference-makers that fit them, that will contribute at an early age. Because with the transfer portal, a kid will come back to UT from Alabama if his buddy is having a great experience at UT and is playing. … (The Vols) can’t just chase stars. They have to chase kids who can contribute right away and are the right kind of guys."

"Best UT recruiter you've met?" -- Golesh mentioned several times. Chavis mentioned a couple times. David Johnson, Tee, Thig. One coach says too much turnover since Fulmer to really know who does well over extended time period.

Great piece. Consider subscribing.

I think your purported & Mccarthy esque commentary regarding myself & Communism might speak otherwise.

Yens kin take your passive aggression and...

Dan at least reaches out to people for interviews. I remember during the coaching searches he would call up and interview people whose names were floating around. I don't think he deserves to be in the AtoZ category.
