Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

The point was that this kid is a baller and the first comments in his thread were about him saying Tennessee University in his offer tweet instead of the University of Tennessee. By-laws? I was trying to draw attention to his talent as opposed to a silly grammatical error. You seemed to have taken this personal, so what is worse? Your feelings somehow being hurt, or a new recruit and his family possibly being offended as soon as they open his thread?

If they get offended, it’s way too easily done. I hope he figures out the name of whatever school he chooses before he enrolls. And my feelings died in my late 40’s.

Not really. I get stuff several different places based on what I happen to need the most. My one requirement for magnesium is to get high potency tablets with 200mg elemental magnesium per tablet. The choice of magnesium glycinate is because glycine is pretty useful as well, and it is one of the better absorbed varieties.

If it is of interest, Dr. Thomas Levy recently published "Magnesium: Reversing Disease", which is a great book on the subject. Funny story with him...he didn't see the need for the book and didn't want to write it, but was pushed by his publisher. After digging into the recent research on magnesium, he came to the realization that it was a major player in the cause of many diseases of age, which is calcium wandering away from where it should be and into many places it shouldn't. It was a major "aha" moment for him and completely reversed his view on the importance of magnesium.

The summary point is that magnesium is the natural calcium channel blocker and a major contributor to proper cell function. We tend to think old people need lots of calcium, but the truth is they probably have plenty, it's just in tissues it shouldn't be. Literally nothing good comes from that...causes Intracellular oxidative stress and progressive disease states...A Very Bad Thing. By restoring magnesium to optimal levels (along with Vit D and K), calcium gets restored to the places it should be and removed from the places it shouldn't, and dang near every disease of old age improves or even reverses. While almost everyone gets plenty of calcium, almost none of us get enough magnesium, and even when your doctor checks it, our serum level is often normal. This is because 99% of magnesium is in our cells, not our blood, and our bodies do an amazing job of rationing magnesium to critical things...like keeping your heart beating and your brain firing...but will take it away from less critical things to do so.

tldr...I could write a book on it, but Dr. Levy already did, so I'll shut up.

Magnesium, if memory serves me correctly, is also involved in more than 300 different enzymatic activities. Like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, it is what I call a broad-spectrum nutrient. If dietary intake and, thus, blood levels are suboptimal, a whole host of biomarkers will suffer.

What in the hell is or was his problem?...what he said in that article made no sense to me.

He had no problem. He was not happy with the old situation where you had to beg a coach to get a 4th meal. It was the situation, not really the folks or team, like he said. And when he came out about...the truth...he got a lot of flak. Funny thing is now what he received is small pittance even compared to 2015 and guaranteed stipends for players.

Love and always will love Arian. UT philosophy brother in arms but also a super smart and extremely grounded guy, while also a thinker. Just hearing him talk years ago about saving for retirement and his stance on consumerism...much respect for that VFL.

What's the latest on schools offering NIL deals to prospects? Everyone says that NIL should not be used as a recruiting bribe, but it's going on, is it not? Will conferences outlaw the practice--as of course they should--since the NCAA has been handcuffed by what I considered a stupid court ruling? I mean, it has to be stopped unless we want college recruiting to just become a completely corrupt and unregulated mess. Perhaps it's that way now....

Lololol...you really think Bama, UGA, OSU etc etc etc etc have been straight up all these years...lololol...

Hell man..NIL is just leveling the field some because before NIL only a few "chosen" golden calfs were allowed to pay with impunity..

Your not supposed to taste the cinnamon. When you taste the chili, you’re supposed to notice something different without noticing it’s cinnamon. If done right, it can enhance the chili. I should know because I run a kitchen for a living.

Then you should know skyline tastes like complete ass.

Look at our secondary if you want a look at what our D coaches are recruiting. Talent $ucks. We’re 3 years for this secondary to be decent. Banks, Martinez need to go.

We have 6 DB’s commitments. Four are 4 stars. Go back to your negative message board life in the FF. We don’t want you here.

 

[Playdo]

That was genuinely awesome. I can seriously relate to being angry at the wrong people and evolving to the point of realizing that. It’s freedom.

I've always thought he was a little weird. But then again, so am I.

If the Flintstones had done an Oregon Trail episode, this is how I imagine the wagons would have looked.

Flintstone wheels were made from stone, not wood. Duh!

I was mostly talking about adding cinnamon to chili. Your not supposed to be able to identify it in there. If you do, someone has messed up the chili.

What is up with country ham and red eye gravy not being mentioned in the biscuit discussion?

* Red eye gravy and country ham > sausage gravy.
* A big thick slice of real smoked Tennessee sausage > sausage gravy.

Nah. I love me some good sausage gravy.

Great. We’re on the level of Ark St & GA ST. We’re going to scare Bama & GA with this. Perennial 7-5 with this recruiting. Heupel can’t recruit at a power 5 level.

You do realize that there is top level talent discovered every season during kid's senior years right? Bama (so are we) is going hard after a linebacker from Smyna that is committed to Memphis. Three weeks ago, he wasn't on the radar of any big time programs, but carry on with your uninformed narrative. Maybe Heupel should just call Nick and Kirby to get their stamp of approval of who we recruit. Or..... Better yet, only offer kids after they offer them. That's a winning strategy.

Feel like he's pretty clueless about football, but kinda funny and don't normally care for his stuff.

Did not know Caleb Pressley was a UT guy, only that he was an Ashevillian and played at AC Reynolds before rising to fame.

Calen Pressly played football at North Carolina too.

He did not have to beg for food…. I have no issues with Arian though.

 

[Devo182]

Nah Martinez isnt the problem. The talent that was left for them is the problem.

Yup Martinez is big time and can hardly prove himself any more ffs.

Literally just turnes Theo around and solidified AT.

Fwiw the safeties are Banks. Not Martinez. And they may be the biggest problem...

Four-time defending bowl champion? Do they have that on a shirt, or something?

Referring to a toilet bowl. Doesn't really correlate to the football field IMO.

Speaking of biscuits, what happened to the international biscuit fest in Knoxville? Any word on if it will ever return?

I thought you hated bread?

The group that hosted it can no longer afford it. They ran out of dough.

Is Pawl turning on the bammers? Oh lawd!!!

Almost as bad who put sugar in Spaghetti or the abomination known as Skyline Chili. Kiss my arse, Cinci.

Cinnamon is for cookies and baked goods. It does not go in chili. Normal people know this.

Damn, dude. Good mammary. Biscuits aren’t bread, though.
