Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[clt_tiger]

Best family vacation ever was 10 days in Italy.

My kids were 10 and 7 (10 years ago this Summer ). My wife and I were worried that they would get bored going to the museums and magnificent churches, but they were enthralled by the history. It was a wonderful time for my family. We powered our way across Rome, Florence, and Venice on gelato. Anytime the kids started to get tired, we powered up with gelato. Considering that we walked almost everywhere, we made lots of gelato stops. One day in Rome, we walked 12 miles. Kids never complained!

The history there is indescribable. I could have spent a week in the Vatican museum just by itself…

Yes! Same trip for our 3 children (8,7, and 5 at the time). We started with gladiator school where they learned how to fight like gladiators, then went to the Coliseum where they were in awe. Like you said, I was amazed how they didn’t complain at all (which is rare) with all of the walking. But you nailed it, fresh pasta, pizza, and gelato on repeat.

We also stayed in Tuscany outside of Sienna and found an amazing winery that had childcare while we did the tour and ate lunch. The babysitter was the daughter of the vineyard owner and taught them how to make homemade pasta.

Hands down the best trip. The Italians were so considerate of the little kids which is what really made it special.

Quite a bit to handle for a 16/17 year old. CBS interview/NIL Contracts/etc. Hope he has good parents and wise counsel.

Doing me part to clean up the recruiting forum...

Meth addicts promptly stole every coin, as well as every central air unit on-site.

I don't want to know.

Since he's a commie he uses metric so he's probably saying 8cm

If you know, you know.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is the best film of the year. Yes I know its May. Its that good.

 

[OrangenSC]

Gonna be In Charleston SC the next few days and of course its supposed to rain all 3 days. Any recommendations on things to do in Charleston while it's raining?

I think Nick can point you to a website you may be interested in spending some time on.

It all depends on what you’re interested in. The aquarium downtown is decent.
The market is mostly inside and neat.
Take in a play at historic Dock Street theater. Spend a couple of days in Lowes or Home Depot.

bammer already has vastly illegal numbers of coaches. They just changed the name to analyst and kept hiring and of course with no repurcussions for their flagrant cheating. They also hired a coach who was literally banned, iirc, by the same transparent and unpunished method.

The scholarship limit is a way for them to offer everybody to keep anyone else from getting players; the old Bear mode. This is a way bammer and geirgia intend to respond to NIL, which is to say, to teams other than them being permitted to pay for players without being put on probation, which definitely erodes bammer and geirgia's longstanding illegal advantage. Or rigging if you want to use the slang term.

f them both.

Back in those days we were very good at using the no scholarship limit to our advantage. And we will be again it it comes to that.

Looks like some evil Smokey

Exactly what I thought of when I saw that post. Lol

That used to be a fairly common way for disagreements between young boys/men to be settled. Somebody won, somebody lost and most of the time nobody ended up in the morgue or hospital or the courtroom. Usually nobody got fired from their job or kicked out of school. It wasn't fair from the perspective of the loser (I wound up on that end a couple of times) but it was efficient and low cost and relatively painless for society.

Just a mom that had no affiliation to UT until my daughter fell in love with UT. I’ve loved the Vols since the fall of 2016 which was her first year in the Pride of the Southland. I still pull for my Big 12 alma mater, but the Vols have my heart! We had football season tickets through the painful Pruitt years, have gone to some pretty awesome games in TBA, and more than half of my closet is the most beautiful shade of orange I’ve ever seen. She graduates with her masters next week and I’m a VFL by choice with plans to retire in Knoxville some day.

Anyone who comes in when times are tough deserves to be along for the ride when times are good! Hopefully, you get to see how amazing this place is when times are good.

Finally...




I see the copperhead.

Is that what you call yours? No judgement.

Will gladly shake hands with the corpse afterward.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Buddy's is great. Can't beat the Tuesday night special for 6.99 that includes a drink. Seriously, great BBQ. All you BBQ snobs can suck it.

I don’t know why their fries are so good

Unrealistic, IMO. Andy won't win 3 games.
