For me, yeah I would have picked someone else. They didn't ask me to weigh-in though.

But I was just pointing out Simone didn't pullout and not compete completely (which is unfortunately one narrative that got pushed). "She quit on her team and the US!!!" I mean it's unfortunate, and it was blown up into a seasonalized storyline by both sides of the line. What she was experience was labelled as a mental health thing when it's a common occurrence in gymnastics. She knew if she continued to compete at best she'd score badly which would drag the team scores down, and at worst she could have seriously injured herself.

By only disagreement with that was that she competed later after the fact. If it was where she had to pull out, why did she later jump back in? That didn’t make sense to me.

LOL

Over the Moon? Now where have I heard that before?

 

[BigSteve09]

Oh man, wouldn't that be awesome? I'd be in tax trouble so fast it'd make your head spin!

you're not already in tax trouble?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

you're not already in tax trouble?

Not that they know about. . .

 

[GVol1966]

Do you suppose Kiffin told his AD at Mississippi that the only job he would leave for was Oregon?

No, he would of left for Florida if they called.

So that sickness that kept the wife and I from going to Mexico turned out to be COVID for both her and my daughter so far.

Good time just to chill at the house and heal up.

wishing better health and a speedy recovery to you and your fam

i'm vaxxed but it hit me and my family pretty hard right after halloween

 

[BigSteve09]

this thread is 2/2 these past couple of weeks living like Al Capone, what with the tax evasion and syphilis

I don't think there's any of those 5 spots that are 100% locked in. It's not like anyone on that line is a Trey Smith. Most have pros and cons, that depending on who could come in, could lose their spot.

Yeah everyone on that line had struggles at some point. Can’t just list a bunch of names and feel comfortable. “Average” players with an extra year of experience means they are just slightly above average.

Imo we need another starter caliber transfer or two. Good thing is I feel like our depth will be much better bc everyone had playing time.

What a badass first name for a defender. The only one better I could imagine is Pestilence.

What about Decoldest Crawford? He decommitted from LSU today. That's decoldest name I've ever heard.

 

[SmokinBob]

I generally prefer not to respond to condescending name calling with someone who lacks knowledge but thinks he has the world figured out. But bless your heart. You’re really such a little stinker.

Girl’s on a ROLL!

 

[peaygolf]

any 'croots committing today?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Good luck! My wife got pretty sick but all I had was fatigue and a stuffy nose. Hopefully everyone has mild symptoms.

Her biggest issue is the fever and a back ache.

So sorry! Get better soon!

Another UF transfer.

Well essentially that's kind of the problem with how people presented the story. The thing that a lot of people forget too is that the Olympics aren't a "one day" event like a Super Bowl.

Basically she had what she called "the twisties":
In sports, the yips (in gymnastics, lost move syndrome or the twisties) are a sudden and unexplained loss of ability to execute certain skills in experienced athletes. Symptoms of the yips are losing fine motor skills and psychological issues that impact on the muscle memory and decision-making of athletes, leaving them unable to perform basic skills of their sport.

So this is probably something similar to what happened to Hendo when he was "having issues with the cold." Of course for a sport where you're jumping 10+ feet off the ground it would be far more of an issue than a sport where you're grounded.

1. Those are the best announcers I've heard on TV in a long damn time. Why are they calling FCS? They brought a little bit of the magic that Ward did in that they're excited about what's happening on the field. Ward was a master of that so much so there were a few times I can remember thinking 'well you don't have to be that excited when it's the other team.' lol. IOW, they sounded like they were having fun not just filling air with whatever dumb remark but having fun watching football.

2. I'm shocked at the fan support there. ETSU had closed up shop and I know Fulmer did a ton of work to rebuild their program before handing the keys over to Sanders and that Sanders probably would still be in D1 were it not for Fulmer and home calling (ETSU ain't too far from Morristown ) but that's still an enormous amount of fan support all things considered. ETSU seems to be positioning itself to slide into the spot that Carson Newman once held both in terms of having fan support and in terms of them positioning to be a really good D2.

It's mind blowing that Carson Newman is no longer even decent after they were so good for so long but we've all seen it happen. I don't know what the blueprint for ETSU will be now that NIL matters. Carson Newman used to scoop up those kids with PWOs and put them on full scholarship.

3. That was an amazing finish. I really hope ETSU continues to thrive under Sanders. It will only help the region and maybe even send a breakout player our way now and then.

Ya, we have a pulse ox and are just monitoring everything - so far pretty steady

 

[SpringBokVol]

But only snowflakes get the twisties and quit on their country!

Why do we suck so bad tonight? Does MSG have dysfunctional baskets or something? Can't hit FTs. Can't hits 3's. WTF? Did @InVOLuntary start coaching men's basketball? Can we call him Ugly Rick?

It's Madison Square Garden---that's a big arena and it appears to be in the guys heads----it's affecting both teams
