Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Christian Lowe]

I'm convinced there's a growing group of people who are so insecure they feel the need to try to improve their self confidence by being more sensitive than everyone else. It started with decent people feeling better about themselves for not being like horrible people, but once society largely eradicated those horrible people, they had to find someone else to be better than. Over the past decade they've just kept one upping each other in a race to be the most culturally/ethnically/lifestyle sensitive, so it's gotten to absurd levels. But if someone's self worth and self image is based on being more progressive or sensitive than others, they're not going to ever be satisfied with any level of sensitivity.

No, you racist. WE’RE the insecure ones!

Should we be concerned about Hooker's play once it gets cold?

Go ahead. Take notes for the documentary.

I don't think so. Apparently his issue with the cold was random (I don't think it happens a lot or any other time at all). I won't be surprised if they take extra steps to make sure his core temp doesn't drop pre-game or during the game.

Literally didn’t say anything bad to you and you went off and are still going off. You came at me with “sometimes I don’t think you read the entire post before firing off on a tangent that you yourself made up.” I didn’t make anything up. I quoted what you wrote. If you can’t have a discussion without getting sensitive, then ignore me. I didn’t come at you at all. And then try to say I’m being an a**hole and defensive when it is the exact opposite lol. Please show me where anything I said was with an attitude, being an a**hole, or defensive until you smarted off?

If you can't see the defensiveness and hostility and confrontation in a large number of your posts, no one is going to be able to point it out to you.

Our sports teams are doing pretty good now-- Fulmer did a good job hiring the Volleyball coach, and lady Vols basketball has improved since Holly.

Whoa! She copied me! Edit she might be saying the opposite, not sure if racist mascotry is decrying racism in others or not. But still, she stole the essence of my idea.

Jonathan Wade on The Swain Event is a must listen.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Ok. . . if Hooker finishes the year strong and maintains or improves his current statistical rankings, does he get included in any of the Heisman talk next year?

No, because he’ll likely enter the draft.

If Hooker becomes a top 5 QB in the bulk of mock drafts he’d be crazy to not enter the draft. Next year’s QB class will be a lot stronger.

 

[VOLSONLY]

I must have made a nice ignore decision at some point. I see a lot of distress around here and I’m not sure what’s going on

 

[Orange Studs]

So Uros is a projected starter this year?

I think its more about Fulky being out and giving him a chance to start against an easier opponent. jmo

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hendon Hooker current stats:

#17 comp %

#3 pass efficiency

#13 pass tds

#22 pass yds per comp

#12 points responsible for

#18 pts responsible for, per game

#7 yds per pass attempt

She’s saying that we whiteys bust our pants a little every time we do something racist lol

Doug Atkins, John Henderson, Reggie White
As a front three.
Opponent QBs would enter the transfer portal before the half. Not to mention their RBs…and their OTs…

"The NFL Network ranked him as the number 9 Pass Rusher of All Time in its Top Ten show.[21] During a 1983 segment about Atkins on the NFL Films show "This Is the NFL", legendary narrator John Facenda described Atkins "like a storm rolling over a Kansas farmhouse. He came from all directions, and all there was to do was to tie down what you could, and hope he didn't take the roof".

Doug Atkins - Wikipedia

For those of us old enough to remember how John Facenda sounded, hearing that quote in his voice is so awesome.

I'm all about defending slighted folked when its there, but, here it just isnt.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Is Billy Napier really going to leave for Virginia Tech after he passed on the Auburn job last year? It does seem like LSU has its sights set much higher than him for their coaching search, which I'm sure is what he wanted.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I had Plantar factitious and used a percussion massager on my calves and the tendon about 5-10 minutes a couple of times a day and stretched my calves. It went away in a couple of weeks.

Thought about advising @InVOLuntary abiut the percussion massage gun, but then decided against it … he would probably put his eye out or rupture a testicle…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

How can you have an icicle in the back of a truck and wtf are they testing on it anyway?

Umm, you lost me there @drvenner …

 

[Pridedad]

We will go 6-6 this year and probably around that mark next year with Hendon Hooker. Bailey will transfer, take over the reins wherever that may be and win the conference. While we have a dynamic offense that puts up great #’s against the bottom of the barrel teams.

I did not know that we were not allowed to be happy for the improvement in our team. When exactly are we allowed to be happy?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Plantar fasciitis sux. Stretch that mother everyday! Who know stretching was important??? I hate stretching.

Jerry Rice credited stretching as much as off season conditioning for his lack of injuries.

 

[SweetasSoda]

And1 didn't work out as an alt...erryone easily sniffed it out. And then you go and take this one away from him.

Thought it was my husband that ruined everything not me!

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Speaking of pain and work...

MRI confirmed solid structure in right shoulder, maybe showed a touch of labral damage from a slip and fall last winter, but nothing significant. Nine months after fall, I can barely reach my butt due to the pain in my shoulder. So...any stretchy gizmo druggy help thingies...or am I gonna have to become left handed?

Sounds like you may have developed adhesive capsulitis. Go get a steroid shot (will weaken the adhesions) then off to therapy for aggressive joint mobilization. Make the therapist use ultrasound to heat the shoulder before mobilization. Ultrasound will also weaken the scar adhesions. Good luck.

Such a mindless article I won’t honor it with a link. From ESPN of course…
All the Scandinavians should raise Cain about the Vikings misrepresentation of their Kin. We should just call teams clear A, clear b, etc. Animals have feelings too… Sorry for the rant…
