Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[GiggerVol]

Also, for my fellow Yellowstone fans, when Jamie was driving his dad's body to the train station I told my wife and couple watching with us "y'all watch, Beth will be there hiding and get a pic of Jamie disposing the body. " They thought I was crazy.

Hesitate to post this but since it's somewhat slow, why not. 10 days ago I looked out on my deck and there was a hawk sitting on a plant stand. Didn't think much about it at the time but an hour later noticed he was still there and upon closer examination I saw he had an injured wing.

To make the story shorter I called the wildlife game folks to see if they would come and get to rehabilitate. They won't do if it's not an endangered species, said to let nature take it's course. Didn't sit well to me so a few hours later he still on my deck and decided to call around to see if I could find anyone to help. Finally found a place in Birmingham that would do it if I brought the hawk to them. So called a buddy to help me get him in a cage and drove him to Birmingham.

Going to take some time but he is on the mend and when he's healthy enough I'm driving back to get him and release him back to the wild and in his old neighborhood.

Gotta admit I'm going to feel mighty proud when I see him soaring again. My good deed for the year. Sorry for the long post but the guy who took in the dog on here spurred me to share..

Always wanted to be TWRA officer.

Perhaps there arent enough of them. Perhaps they're underpaid. Having dealt with them (much better in TN than neighboring states), they seems wildly ill mannered. Ive called several times to report injured wildlife. Received one callback from an annoyed warden. Gave him info on hurt deer and moved on.

Try to do the right thing regardless. Crazy a bird of prey cant be helped.

Best thing to do is make friends with a local wildlife rehabber. They arent in it for the money rest assured. Also, financial help is best for them.

There is one here in Tri Cities...that I know of. They are excellent people. Other than that you may try calling Bays Mtn, they have a Raptor program - if you live close by.

It would work. I said early on that you could set up a charity, take donations, hire a football player as your spokesperson, pay him 49% - operating expenses, donate 51% to a charity. I think as long as 51% goes to charity it's eligible for 501c3 status but I could be wrong.

Quit making guesses about it. Get off your ass and figure it out for sure! jk

Seriously though, I would donate money for that.

Freeman looked fine. ND just was overrated.

Surprising. Almost never happens that ND is overrated.

What a train wreck this NIL is. Simply legalizing buying players. SMH

It's not good for fans but it's great for the players. Especially the stud players

So why not go all in on the one kid in our backyard?

Cause he wasn’t worth the market price…I am guessing that just like the inflated real estate and used auto market right now, his selling price was excessively inflated and he found a fool with money to throw away. It’s gonna bite A&M in the ass. They will have pruitt type mercenaries rather than players that are invested in A&M. They are trying to buy a NC. Used to be able to do that. New era of players though, Nolen is a prime example. How many HS did he attend? He is the epitome of me first. As we saw with pruitt’s players, they quit, fold or flee at the first sign of adversity.

I truly believe that we can win with CJH picked players. Look at all these players that are coming back instead of transferring. Look at how much they like playing for these coaches and they are VFLs. Sprinkle in some NIL here and there and let’s see what happens.

15-0

Missed that this kid entered the transfer portal yesterday.

Brenden Rice, Colorado, Wide Receiver (247sports.com)

Son of Jerry Rice. Has good size.

TWSS?

 

[Batman1948]

Put a cap on how much $ they can make and still be considered an amateur athlete. If they go over say $100k per year they are no longer considered to be a amateur athlete and are ineligible for ncaa sports

That just pushes the money back under the table

Lost all credibility when they listed SCar as a contender.

Wouldn’t you be okay with this SEC East ranking and Tennessee with no East losses?

I work with some people in Morristown who get hit. We didn't get anything where I am

The one time transfer needs to be scrapped...it is nothing but a tool for abuse.

Guys can only transfer one time and play immediately. If they transfer again, they must sit out for a year. The number of players in the portal is huge but just a small percentage move on to other schools.
The players will figure this out soon enough and the movement will slow down considerably.

This looks like a man that got his money up front and is just trying to get fired

Got a friend who needed a few extra points to win his fantasy playoff. Antonio Brown leaving screwed him. Ha.

Bass, how much weight can you put on that fish? I think you found our linebacker.

Gotta love the aggression but I’m not sure how many fatalities we can live with before others start to complain

Two days ago, it was 73 degrees and wearing shorts. Today off of our back deck.

You da man----I like your style and I hope the hawk stays in your neck of the woods when you release him

man if we miss in the portal

 

[Cheatham County Vol]

Barking fan here.

Write it down, and remember who told you. Georgia will beat Alabama in the rematch. People hate what they’re afraid of. Everyone on this board is afraid of Georgia and what they’re capable of. No, that doesn’t mean I’m a Georgia fan. I pull for them to lose every week, including against the Tide. Tennessee is going to have to take it up several notches on the recruiting trail if we’re even going to have a chance to beat either one in the next 10 years.
