Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Not enough length definitely needs to be an interior guy.

 

[butchna]

If you noticed I never responded when you posted your calling out on myself and butchna. That’s neither here nor there now. (I didn’t much care when you did, to be honest). As all good gingers, we never forget. Good to see you on a upside. Take the dam* bag off your head, you look like you’re going trick or treating, but in a creepy way.

Missed it. Caring not a damn helps. Must’ve been from some perceived slight of Lord Master Basillio.

 

[SmokinBob]

Weird question. . .

When is the 1st time you remember an interception being returned for a TD referred to as a "pick six"?

Last couple of years, maybe…

 

[butchna]

Apparently. BOV is my only non troll account.

Apparently you’ve been doing it so long you don’t know the difference…or pretend as per troll methodology.

 

[BigSteve09]

smokescreen!

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Ahhh smokescreen szn

I remember those.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

They generate all the revenue

Actually we do.

Time named her athlete of the year.

Uhmm...the context of the remark was that people were rooting for her to fail and celebrated her failure..I don't know how what you said here has a dang thing to do with that.

Did some digging on the Neyland renovations. Couldn’t find any plans, bid prices, or webcams, but here’s a few factoids:

• Cope Associates Architects is the designer
• The Christman Company is the construction manager/general contractor (they oversee and bid out the project; it’s an accelerated process)
• Total budget: $180M (I think this also includes south end zone upgrades)
• The scope from 2017 shifted this past summer to include the video board and west club seating
• Loss of 3,200 seats
• Video board and seats complete by ‘22 kickoff; club itself finished by the end of the season

It’s amazing what you can find when you know where to look.

And smells like egg creams.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Now that’s going to get him started.

Meh...that was already discussed earlier today, and I already gave the obligatory "I hate this stupid world blah blah blah" post earlier.

Fortunately for me, it came back fairly quick. Hopefully, yours comes back eventually. But I had similar thought in the first few days. Interestingly, my wife was born with no sense of smell. You go to the same thoughts as with those that are blind. Is it worse to have it and lose it? Or never have it to begin with? Most people look at me when they find out she can’t smell and say “Oh, you can fart and she won’t know”. The first thing I thought when she told me was “You don’t know what a summer rain on fresh cut grass smells like.”

It's been over a year now, and I have a very muted sense of smell, and there are some things that although I smell really strongly, they do not smell right...like a lot of colognes and perfumes have a real weird strong chemical smell to me.

I'm glad I can smell at all.

Got a serious question. Today is my 14th day since COVID and have been doing great for over a week. Today after being out I took a shower and barely made it back to my recliner. Moments later I started having chills and about an hour later 100.1 Temp. Have any of you guys heard this before and what the heck do I do? My wife did the same thing. Little discouraged after battling and getting better.

Covid is so weird...when I had Covid my fever would come and go in waves along with the body aches. I had fatigue issues for months afterwards.

I’m so proud of them. Well done

Probably eleven years ago.
It’s been around for a minute. My now “adult kids” introduced me to that terminology when they were going into HS.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

A good friend of mine in his early 30's had hardly any symptoms until day 12 or 13....pneumonia then formed and unfortunately he passed a few weeks later...get help if ur breathing gets any worse

That's nuts...we lost two old family friends in their mid thirties in Aug-Sept....both were big time anti-vaxxers and both of them did what you described.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This is stunning to me

I will never understand these kids..

 

[ETennGal]

Oh no! You doing okay?

I’m fine, thank you. This all happened in September of 2020. The hubby had it over Christmas last year and he was pretty sick too. It took 3 months for my blood pressure to return to normal. It’s just that I thought I was done with it too… it just wasn’t done with me. Very sneaky virus.

a few months ago My 30 y/o cousin recovered from the initial covid illness for about a week and then he collapsed with a 103+ fever and was hospitalized with covid pneumonia and survived by a miracle basically. Anecdotally the second wave after a false recovery is when a lot of people get the dangerous pneumonia. If you can get a pulse oximeter to track your blood o2 levels if they’re in the low 90’s range then it’s time to call a doctor/ER from what I understand.

An article from mid-SEP pegged the costs for the total project at $340 million. Unless that has since changed, it sounds like the $180 million is just for Phase 1.

What a disgrace. Neyland should never be below 100,000. I don’t give a damn if 60,000 are empty on game days.

In reality, Neyland is already below 100,000 actual seats. They are just cooking the numbers a little bit to get to 102,455.

How did Luke Fickell get coach of the year over JH?
