Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series is excellent as well as Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman Dragonlance series. I know, cue Nerd Alert gif...

I read the first two or three of The Sword of Truth and lost interest.

 

[CornFlake]

Oh I think this hire makes or breaks him.

He hit a grand slam with the hire now he needs to get out of his way and let him run the offense

I have a feeling its not gonna be CJP who is gonna be in the way,

 

[volatil]

Same for me.

This video brought back memories

Dang they had 3 pointers on this game. I thought that came after his era. I remember this game though

Hey I'm just curious not trying to be negative, but why is everyone so hyped about Chaney. I looked at it and he has just as many years with offenses inside the bottom three as the top three in terms of the SEC. He was always going to succeed at Georgia IMHO they had incredible talent and many consecutive high caliber offenses before he arrived. Granted stats don't tell you everything i know he's pretty good with developing QBs. I also think his balanced attack could work fluidly with Pruitt's idea of what an offense should look like. Would love to hear what else i'm missing. Also really hoping for the off chance Pittman joins him.

As a little kid I would listen to John Ward call basketball games in my room. Had a nerf goal hanging on back of the door. Would pretend I was Tony White and make shots as Ward was calling the game.

Tony White with a 3 point line would be have posted some huge numbers

Looking at that video he had a 3 pt line. I thought it came in later too.

Sad

How good was John Ward calling basketball.

Man some memories there. Nix Clicks. He guns........ BANG. You walked sir. Bottom!

 

[UTProf]

That Chaney mic'd up vid cracked me up when he was telling the guy to set things back for the OL drill. He said something like "after 25 years, I can tell you they won't run even 2 more feet than they have to."

John Ward was one of a kind. Never will be another.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Bad hire imo

Worse than the Cardinals

I have no idea which one will be more successful, but..

at least Kitchens was hired on the way up.

Just brialent with hoops

I would listen to him and keep stats when I was a kid.

Now my kid just clicks on his iPhone to see who has scored how many points

My junior year in high school, we had a 3-point line which coincided with college, I think ? '87-'88

87 was whites senior year so that matches

Thx for posting that Bruin. Does bring back memories of a great shooter. Me and my wife saw Don Devoe and his wife probably around 10 yrs ago eating at the Cracker Barrell in Lebanon

I didn't play my sophomore year, so I can't remember if we had it in high school, yet or not. They probably started in college first, before it came to high school, so yeah, makes sense. I guess I should Google it

My favorite is the Stormlight Archive but Mistborn is terrific also.

Stormlight Archive is amazing. It's early, but so far I'm liking it better than WOT. Sanderson's pacing is a lot better, and I love how his characters grow and develop.

He can adapt to the actual in-game. He is not an OC that has a set philosophy that he won’t veer from. He can gas the opponent’s defense with up tempo if warranted, or give our defense some rest by running the ball.

Have been reading posts the last few weeks but haven't posted. Been busy preparing for the move from the Tri-cities to Chattanooga.

Just wanted to weigh in on the OC hire. I personally love it. I think it's the best hire we could have made all things considered. Yes better than Freeze, Briles, or Yurcich. I know a few liked Sark as well. I would have been ok with that but I'm really pumped CJC is back on Rocky Top!

One aspect about the hire that really excites me is it shows we are willing to open the pocket book for quality. Which is something I personally feel was missing in recent administrations. Go Vols!

 

[GiggerVol]

Is there a book reading forum? If not, I think it would be a novel idea, don't ya'll think?

 

[SmokinBob]

That was really cool - I turned the sound down and watched it over and over and over! Thanks for posting!

 

[WriterVol]

Thanks. So Brandon Sanderson finished it, I assume ? U know, I'm a little afraid GRRM doesn't finish that last book, "A Dream of Spring". Well, I think that's the early title for it

I like the part where you assume he's even going to finish The Winds of Winter.

 

[UTProf]

John Ward was one of a kind. Never will be another.

Definitely one of a kind. That said, I hope we get another legend sometime in our lifetime. Radio may be a dying art form but it is so much better to watch a game with a good radio announcer on instead of tv announcers.

Open one up and turn the page.
