Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[engineerVOL]

Former Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber found dead in his apartment by Frisco police

Sad. I remember watching him in MCB work a fledgling Bama squad. He and Laurence Maroney, elite tandem. He ran so stinking hard. Football went away and he made bad decision after bad decision and his life crumbled. Too common a narrative for football players.

Peter Gabriel was the man.

Go back another decade for the best music. The early 80’s was okay but the late 80’s…not so much. Nothing beats the 70’s. Even my 20-something kids agree.

So both mine and my wife’s care batteries died today.. on the same day.. I need a math wizard to calculate the statistical possibilities of that occurring.


And then create a gofundme for me

Earlier this year I got a flat tire on my way home from work (around midnight). One lugnut was slightly deformed and the tire iron couldn't get a bite on it. After fighting it for over an hour, I had my wife come pick me up. The next morning, with more tools in hand, we took my wife's car to head back to my truck to change the tire. About 5 minutes from my truck, my wife's car got a flat. I was flabbergasted. Changed her tire no problem, headed on to my truck and somebody had changed it overnight! Highway patrol maybe? I couldn't believe the odds that our vehicles got flats in completely unrelated locations within about 8 hours of each other.

Hate to say it, but guys that play like that eventually end up with mental health issues, and based on the contact with police in 2014, that’s most likely what happened. We enjoy watching these guys play but don’t always realize the toll it takes. That’s why it seems to happen more with football players.

That's really cool that someone changed it.

Congratulations on your coming out announcement @HoleInTheRoof. Have fun dancing around in jorts and a belly shirt while wearing Rupaul makeup. Be proud of your chosen life!!

He's a Florida fan? I thought he was just celebrating pride and giving folks a hard time. I had no idea he'd fallen so far tho. Hole, what happened? Say it ain't so!

Very few can have the luck we experienced!

I used to love watching his show

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Okay VN, I need your help…


I am very concerned about the RF. I am easily staying caught up. Are y’all okay? I am used to being days to sometimes weeks behind. I can accept that. Being caught up makes me think that many of you are not okay.

Please let me know asap that you are okay and this is just an aberration.

Oh, and Football will be 15-0

View attachment 459105We are in a room and comfortable. She’s ok for now. We are still waiting on cultures but that will take a couple days. She’s feeding good and using the bathroom good. She can see out of her left eye so that’s great for the fussiness. Her right one is swollen though. She’s just really tired and needs her rest, but we have been taken care of extremely well and our surgeon, Dr. Golinko, is a rockstar. Thank you for asking and thank you all of VN for thinking about our little girl.

Just jumped in this thread and saw this. Hope she is better. Prayers for healing and a full recovery.

We arrived home around dinner time. She had to have a PICC line installed and is gonna be on antibiotics a minimum of six weeks. All that being said, she is doing good! She’s laughing and playing a lot and seems happy to be home. I know mama and I are so happy to be in our bed. Thank you to all who have prayed for our baby girl. I believe her story is going to be a massive testimony one day. Much love to all!

I don't have to when I've got your mom to change it.

This conversation has gone way the hell off the rails.
