Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Saw that IMG beat Hoover 48-7 last night. Seems like a massive disparity. I know what IMG is about, but I thought Hoover has a lot of D1 talent.

 

[BruinVol]

Literally tens of people there

Just terrible luck with scheduling. Tv forces a Friday night game where every dang hs in Rutherford has a playoff game. I hated to see such a poor crowd

Two guys I work with are LSU fans. They were getting excited and convincing themselves of ways they’ll win today. I simply said “gentlemen, I like LSU. We share the same natural rivals and I’d say you’re my second favorite SEC team. But do you two really think a team that lost to Florida will beat Alabama?”

They went silent and ultimately said. We’re going to get crushed aren’t we? I said yep but you’re still having a good season and beat Georgia.

You did your good deed for the day.

Okay guys, looking for some advice. In town this weekend from Ohio to see my first live game in Neyland. So, I'm wondering if you can give me the low down on where the best place to park would be and what time we should do so?

I want to be there early enough for all the fanfare, the Vol Walk, etc. But not too early. Any advice/opinion is appreciated.

GBO!

This link should have everything you need to know. Enjoy!

Cool.

So it turns out I flipped the bird to a coworker in traffic. I didn't know it was her.

In all fairness I couldn't tell who anyone was, with her brights on, practically in my back seat.

Worst of all, she's the one coworker I don't like because she never shuts tf up at any time of the day about any subject. So you know today/Monday she'll go off at some point about how mean I am for flipping her the bird.

Good. Great. Grand. Wonderful.

 

[appyvol]

Good for him and his family. Fulton Falcons, baby. In case anybody cares Fulton rolled Lenior City last night on their way to a potential state championship run

Nobody is touching Greenville.

Well, it could have been worse. She could have pulled a gun out.

I remember a team that lost to Pitt beating them in the NC.

Okay, mom.

 

[RikidyBones]

Okay, mom.

at least she didnt say it was gay to flip the bird.


I'm jk chism

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Update on the situation.

It wasn't the incessant talker (thank god). It was one of the more pleasant coworkers, which sucks (oh no).

So I walked over to apologize because my guilty conscience can only hold so long without driving me crazy.

"So.. traffic.. sorry about that."

"Sorry about what?"

"Oh.. uhh.. nevermind?"

I ended up explaining the situation without laying blame on her with her brights, more focusing on how I shouldn't have been so quick with the Hawaiian good luck sign. She thought it was funny. I kinda did, kinda didn't. She did say she forgot she had her brights on, which validates how clueless I knew she was at the time.

Either way, all is forgiven, water under the bridge. Still feel kinda like a heel, but way less so now.

I was there. Probably about 10K or so with all the military that attended included. Zack Dobson got his first TD. He looked a lot faster than everyone else on the field. I think he had ~50 yards on 5 touches.

Very happy for him. He was absolutely electric in HS.

 

[drvenner]

Good for him and his family. Fulton Falcons, baby. In case anybody cares Fulton rolled Lenior City last night on their way to a potential state championship run

I think they get Catholic next week. Should be a good game.

Just tell her you were waving because you were so glad to see that she was so worried about your safety because she was following you so closely with her bright lights on.

Is Greeneville 5A? If they are, I would love to see a Fulton-Greeneville matchup again. I have heard Greeneville fans sing this song before. They have had some really good teams lately but Fulton has put them out of the playoffs a time or two.

Edit: Greeneville is 4A. So, they won't play Fulton. Looks like they have rolled everybody, though.

Q: How are LSU and sandcastles alike?






A: They both look good until the tide rolls in.

Take her a donut Monday morning.

It's funny East Tennessee has "no talent" football wise but all the State Champs are in that part of the state
