Personal finance, not so well. It became apparent to me rather quickly after my can sell date that I was not where I needed to be. I work as a financial analyst for a company called Hennessey Industries. We make tire changers, wheel balancers, and other products for auto shops. I very much enjoy my work and am immensely more suited for this type of finance work.

As far as recruits, I really think we get Crouch (LB NC), Wright (OT WV), and Bogle (DR FL).

That is great Glitch. I know you put in the time. I will have to read up on Crouch and Bogle. Wright, I will have to wait and see if he goes north or south.

Warrior at Star is interesting. Makes sense Bv he’s probably our best DB right now and we’re better off at safety than CB/NB.

I wonder who our 2 safeties will be when we’re in that look. TK and Abernathy? Will Jackson take one of those spots? Can Flowers make a push there?

I also wonder if that means they try to move Shamburger outside to CB.

Warrior will still get S run if he will be like minkah. Minkah lined up everywhere. CB/N/S. if warrior wants to do it he better have his butt in film room knowing stuff inside out. Minkah was film junkie and could handle the responsibility .

If he can do it it would allow more time for a Theo Jackson

Yeah I looked at their tap list and really wanted that one. Sounded delicious.

I’m going to be in Lebanon at Cumberland. I’ll be getting a masters for free while working for their Athletic media relations.

I’m living proof that test is bullsh@&. I don’t even look at it when I review grad applications.

It was just a pain in the ass and left me with a headache. I took the test basically completely dry and scored ~315ish, so it’s not particularly hard—just annoying. I also don’t really see how it applies to anything at all.

That pumps me up thinking about it. Nigel is a Jr. now and ready to take on more for this team. The game should start slowing down for him considerably.

Pruitts whole philosophy seems to be to simplify things as much as possible and let his athletes fly around and make plays, relying more on their instincts. Warrior should thrive in this environment. Shoop and Butch had him thinking too much. He's good enough to play anywhere for sure. I believe he could be a lockdown corner if he wanted to be. It's pretty fun that we might get to see some of that.

Thinking about the depth chart in the secondary...

CB's: Shamburger/Buchanan/Osbourne/Taylor/Gray (maybe Thompson?)

Safety: TK/Abernathy/Theo/Flowers (wish Jennings could be added but it probably won't happen)

Swiss Army Knife: Warrior

I'm excited about thIs group a lot. Obviously plenty of unknowns, but it's a pretty fun collection of talent to play with.

I think TK could be a great veteran glue guy to give us some stability back at safety like Brian Randolph did a few years ago. But I think he's more talented than Randolph was. He can become hugely valuable if he can stay healthy and be consistent. He's played a ton for us. He has to know everybody's role at this point and become a leader to the secondary IMO. The same might go for Abernathy too. I'm pulling for them both to put that kind of year together.

Shamburger is my CB1. He showed he could make plays when he finally saw the field last year. That's what good players do. He's got the size and ability. I think he ends up one of the best 11 that you want on the field somewhere.

Warrior will be roaming around creating havoc.

Hopefully a guy or two emerges that we aren't even thinking much about. Who knows? Bryce Thompson could be a starting day 1 corner. It could be him and Alontae. Anything could happen.

This unit could be a strength on the team. I believe it will be eventually under Pruitt no matter what. But it sure would be cool if it happened fast. I think even if the secondary struggles early on, I expect it to improve as the year goes on.

Can't wait. Go Vols

315? That must be with the new system. I took it right before they changed. The test is pretty much a joke. Congrats on getting into a master's program for free. 👍

I might watch golf after the word Cup today.

U.S. Open -- Zach Johnson vents about Shinnecock Hills conditions

Players crying. Phil snapped. Sounds like guys losing their mind on an impossible course. They might want to consider this for ratings moving forward. Even people that hate golf might watch today.

Did you watch the golf? Saturday was Clown Golf. Course setup by the head USGA clown, Mike Davis. He admitted course was unfair on TV after the round. (For example, players putting downhill & off the green on #15 = unfair.) "We never anticipated the wind would come up." Really??

Yeah, who would have thought that there would be any wind near the ocean? smdh

That’s my point. I don’t watch golf with exception of the later hour of final round. I usually check leaderboard and highlights at night. In this case it seems the course is a complete joke but would be very entertaining to watch.

Has it literally been a crap show the first 3 rounds?
