Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Watch Netflix. A man raised in relative privilege who earned millions in the NFL was a slave all along!

SMH..that dumb gets on my last nerve.

Before by a million. My childhood was outside playing in the neighborhood with other kids til dark. It was the best. Kids today spend majority of their time indoors glued to a screen and have horrible social skills. It’s pathetic what the internet and gaming has done. But that’s also just bad parenting.

Granted I played a ton of Atari and Nintendo, but mainly my parents said get outside and play and come back in when it starts getting dark. A much better balance back then.

Made sure to balance my kids out and they turned out great. I think the answer all depends on the parenting. My kids probably had it much better than me.

It’s early but potentially good news for this week: I asked specifically about Tiyon,… Cade…. Simmons and Theo and he said they were all full participants in practice today….. He also stated that he thinks everyone will be back this week.

If that is true, and they all play..we will win this game unless UK just has one of those games where everything goes their way.

Netflix has actually done sanity a solid and given him a forum. Him being paid millions to put it all on screen does it’s own work. Previously what he hinted at didn’t show the total ridiculousness factor.

So true. Today’s youth be like…”when the going gets tough, **** it, just quit!

I'm sure you have never "quit" anything in your life. If your team (employer) does not covet your services, then you should absolutely find a team (employer) that will.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Oh how cool you are tweeting college kids!

For craps sake...these aren't freakin middle schoolers..

Chill with the spoilers. I'm currently on page one, paragraph two of book one

You've got a long haul ahead of you. The books/series is so long you start forgetting details.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Just curious, but if it truly was accidental... how does potentially ruining two lives make sense to you? If a drunk pedestrian ran out in front of your car while you were innocently driving down the highway, do you honestly think you should serve 5 years in prison? And you'd be okay with that?

The trauma one would likely suffer might be penalty enough, but jmo.

They should get at least five years for killing someone while drive drunk...also your drunk pedestrian comment makes zero sense.

Would really like to see the Vols win this game. This is a real opportunity for Heupel and the new regime to create a lot of momentum for the program. If we lose this one and go 6-6, there will be NegaVols in the off-season who claim that we didn’t beat anyone that mattered, especially if we lose a bowl game. I’d really like to deprive them of that talking point. 7-5 would be the best first regular season of a new coach since Kiffin, and think of how much optimism we had right up until he jumped for USC. 8-5 would be the best start since Fulmer in 1993. Such an opportunity to change the whole narrative around our program.

Good post. Unfortunately, you can never deprive a "realist".
A: Opponent was overrated.
B: We got lucky they screwed up and handed us the win.
All of our wins have asterisks, they never do. Bad call takes away 7 and we lose by 3, they "owned us".

Really hope the kid is okay, but that's just strange. The monkey belongs to his stripper gf.

Some strippers have dangerous monkeys.

So..."entertaining"...that depends on if you like to have a team that plays total defense. I don't want an "entertaining" team, I want a team that blows people off the field...which is what that team should have been. The FACT that Appy f'n State pushed them around on both lines like they did is really what that team was...a team with insane offensive skill position talent and nothing else

And that team was absolute garbage by the middle of the season thanks to Butch being a total dumbass.


Like I said...most Vol fans were too blinded by that offensive talent to see what that team really was...a team that got slaughtered by Candy.

That defense was COMPLETELY gutted by 2nd half of the Bama game. We literally had to play backups...out of position. It was absurd how devastated that defense was the 2nd half of the season.

And to be fair, that team in no way got "slaughtered" by Vandy. We were ahead nearly all of the game, but they definitely ripped us in the Q4...sure.

But I agree there was always something "off" with that team - very evident by game 1. It was S&C being total garbage and losing Jancek and his elite 3rd down defense imo.

I feel ya man! The person I knew was wasted that went to prison. Partied with him a lot. But he took a little girls life and he deserves the time he got. But you are right that the limit can be different for different people. Shoot 21 year old me could drink eight beers and feel nothing. If I drink that now, I’m in bed half the day.

One of my good friends, and his family was hit by a f'n scumbag pos a few years ago killing one of his sweet girls, and nearly killing his wife. He and the other younger daughter only had superficial injuries.

I know the guy didn't "mean" to kill her, but I also know that he sure as hell didn't care if he did or not. I think you should spend at least five years in jail for that.

All of the crazy I did back in the day and yet I can still say this...I never drove drunk or stoned.

Wow, what terrible music to dance to.

Help him out. Close the curtains.

But I have a right to privacy in my own home.

And maybe I'm a little bit of an exhibitionist....

You've got a long haul ahead of you. The books/series is so long you start forgetting details.

Best series ever to reread...soooo much stuff that you have no idea is important only to have it be a massive thing much later..Jordan was ingenious at that.

I forgot a lot of these things by the time I finished and didn't remember a lot of the foreshadowing..On reread you catch most of those things and you are like wow...

People tell me that have read the series multiple times that they still catch new things on just about every read.

I wouldn't call that music. . . or dancing,

I've heard of strippers having angry beavers, but not dangerous monkeys. You kids and your new slang.....

Yep...that makes it ok ...this attitude is why society sucks.

Have you guys read any of the Forrest Gump books? Probably nowhere near as good to what you guys are talking about. I just thought it strange that the book character of Gump was so much different than portrayed in the movie. . .

Anyway, just a random thought. . . maybe I should post a thread in the ff about it.

On Netflix you should watch the Forrest Gump episode of "The Movies that Made Us" pretty interesting everything they went through to get that movie made.

I guess giving up that many points to freakin Vandy made me feel that way.

That team sucked, it was 100% Botch Jonzes fault, but overall they sucked.

Lol..I did read one of them. Totally different character.

Why Butch let Dave Lawson go will always puzzle me. Surprised he isn't somewhere besides ETSU. I'd take him back in a heartbeat if Schmidt were to leave for another opportunity. Hopefully not though. Heupel seems to have brought a top notch strength, conditioning, and nutrition staff to Knoxville.
