Bates sucked. He never factored in. I donā€™t care what he was ā€œrecruited forā€ (as if guys are recruited not to man a spot? He was recruited to compete like everyone else). Kirkland did factor in.

Bizarre conversation.

Anyway, the depth chart from 2015 is included in here. Yes, DK eventually passed him.

i was truly shocked that Bates never was even close to a factor at UT. He was a consensus top 100 (maybe top 75) player and literally never did anything but play some special teams

Realistically, I see 9-3. Losses to Bama, Georgia, and one of LSU or Pitt. There is a good chance for 10-2 if we get all the breaks. I dont think we have the depth to compete for a full game with Bama and Georgia, yet. If this class remains as good as it is and we get another good class the following year, we will be able to surprise the Bamas and Georgias of the world.

I see it differently. They still sometimes slip up and lose one that they shouldnā€™t. We are so overdue for the good karmaā€¦I am considering all games a win until proven otherwise.

15-0 šŸ¤

Lost their QB and their top WR. We really should beat them. No excuses.

They are a good football program under Narduzzi....losing to them doesn't merit an excuse. Yeah they lost some stuff, but they got a lot of good players coming back and picked up some good pieces to offset loss....that ain't excuses, it is a f'n fact.

Tiger is an icon that has made the overall game of golf billions because he did amazing things that nobody besides Jack could do...women are not and will not ever be able to do those things. A freaking high school boys soccer team beat the womens national team for craps sake...it has absolutely nothing to do with personality, it has everything to do with genetics.

No woman will ever be able to come close to the physical dominance of the greatest male athletes...without being genetically enhanced or some dude that claims to be a woman gets accepted.

I love ya man (you're my Vol fam) but you and a few others miss the point completely on this. No one is gonna force you to watch something you don't want to. However, don't give me so and so is this or males are "the best" and that's why we watch argument. We've supported a subpar product forever and will continue to even when that product wins a championship because under that logic we should only be watching the pros. We watch children play for heaven's sake and I don't mean college kids.

Women's sports aren't about what men can do and shouldn't be just like college sports shouldn't be about what pros can do. The WNBA and women's sports in general are far behind but it's for many, many reasons none of which include men being physically gifted with testosterone. Regardless of your stance though, I think we can all agree that the goal is to get them better.

I reviewed the statute for public indecency and indecent exposure. I feel confident that they donā€™t include your property in areas where the public canā€™t really view you. The public indecency clearly states, ā€œpremises used solely as a private residenceā€¦are not deemed to be a public place.ā€ The indecent exposure statute includes a ā€œresident of another,ā€ so not your own.

So, you can't drive by a school and moon it from the car window, but you can moon a school bus from your bedroom window? Asking for @Weezer

I was standing on the trail and they just kept grazing closer and closer. Obviously the herd never ventured out of the protected area.C17F3563-3BB1-4DDF-A09B-C467A19B076F.jpeg

When he started sniffing in my direction, I got a little worried. Then he snorted Go Vols! and went back to grazing. 15-0 šŸ¤

I think you went too far with your argument. I agree with your overall point, but saying lack of testosterone (which I assume is a slang way of saying women are less athletically gifted than men) isn't one of the reasons women's sports are far behind isn't true. It is one of the reasons, and is the main reason women's sports will never be as entertaining to most people. It isn't the only reason women's sports are far behind, and those other reasons can and should be addressed; but to say the athleticism gap has nothing to do with it is just taking your argument too far, in my opinion.

Imo the biggest problem the WNBA has is they try to play like men and fail miserably

I would say that is a bit different. Thatā€™s in public. Canā€™t say that Iā€™ve defended many things like this, but the statute states that it has to be in a public place (or private residence of ā€œanotherā€) and your private residence is not included in that.

It also has to been seen by someone, and your backyard would be private. Now if a person lives on a busy street and decides to go out to their front yard, it might get interesting.

Shew, Iā€™m safe. Ok yā€™all, stay outta my bean field behind the house in about 21.5 mins. Preshait it.

Maybe but tell me when was the last time little league age softball or elementary school girls basketball got support on par with the boys? There's no difference at that age. In fact, the girls tend to be ahead of the boys so if it's about the superior athlete we should at that age be watching girls but we're not. It's not about the superior athlete. It's about a lot of things.

How else should they play to increase marketability?

And how does that differ from NCAAW basketball, if it does?

Very curious. Never heard such an argument.

Loving your vacation photos. I hope one day to visit somewhere as scenic as RMNP. Gotta kick these kids outta my house first and quit working so much!

We take an annual Summer vacation with two other families and my single brother-in-law. When you share expenses, it significantly cuts costs. Plus you get to enjoy the vacation with friends and family.

Thatā€™s how I get to 15-0 šŸ¤
