Agreed on all but coke.

When I was a kid, my papaw loved Pepsi over Mayfield icemilk but he still called it a Coke float.

I don't remember anyone on my mom or dad's side that called a soft drink anything other than coke. It wasn't to be disrespectful to Pepsi or RC, it's just what everyone around me said.

But none of them are Pepsi machines. They're (lowercase) coke machines. Like the beverage (Coke) has also become the general term for the type of object. Just like someone mentioned Kleenex being the general term for a tissue paper for many people. It might be Great Value brand tissue paper, but it's not incorrect to call it a kleenex (lowercase).

Right, I get what you're saying and, but I'm saying people who use coke that way are in the minority. I waited tables for years, and maybe a dozen times a year I'd have someone say coke for anything other than Coca Cola.

I think both of those things are true. He is good at finding underrated talent. Developing it, keeping it healthy, and forming a winning culture are his weaknesses.

He has a great work ethic. He’s one of those guys in at the crack of dawn and brings the energy all day. His great weakness is really just being cowardly. He’d start taking his foot off the gas in the second damn quarter if we had the lead and eventually that was his downfall. He also did a really poor job of getting the best players on the field. He choose to go with Justin Worley over Josh dobbs twice. Which would’ve been fine if he’d have run a pro style offense. But the fact that we read that press offense with all the rpo’s makes it such an unbelievably dumb decision.

That's totally different than what we're talking about. I wouldn't tell the waiter I want a coke if I really want a Sprite, Dr. Pepper, ect.

Here is a preview from LSU's side. Sounds like they aren't very confident at all.

Interesting takes. Pretty fair for an LSU show that's going to talk paths to victory.

I agree that the MSU game is the game you have look at defensively for them to find something close to measure against.

And they did a great job in that game cause everyone knew MSU was gonna win....

But at the end of the day they know we're different than any team they've played. And they said it.. They need Tennessee to help.

I think this is the best defense so far we've played. I'm still not sure it matters if we play a clean game.

So here's to mistake free football Saturday morning, CST.🍊🍊🍊

Idk what holler you’re from, but round here we ask…

“What kind of Coke you want? I got Sprite, Dr. Pepper, and root beer…or water.”

That's exactly how it was when I was growing up. I'd like to add Kool-aid and tea to your list. *coming across someone with Dr. Pepper or root beer in their fridge was a special treat

Yeah, only place I've seen 2-3 weeks is here on VN with random posters sharing it. Have yet to read/hear a surgeon or doctor say 2-3 weeks.

Tua had the exact same surgery a few years ago..returned in 20 days to full strength. I mean it can’t be much more simple than that. Volquest has said multiple times he will def be back by Bama. There are plenty of medical case studies as well if you know where to look. It is not a pipe dream at all.

His great weakness is his lack of character and his inability to create a positive culture. His screaming into a megaphone at practices, lying to players, and constant turnover in the coaching staff along with players transferring were all red flags. He is a complete trumpet playing poser compared to a guy like CJH - a highly successful college qb who has credibility when he talks to the players. He doesn’t scream and berate them - he instructs and encourages. If you don’t choose to follow the rules and get with the program then he shows you the door. The boundaries and structure are clear and consistent which is the environment where young men perform best. Lyle is proof of how AD’s are easily duped - dude is a used car salesman not in any way a leader of young men.

Boys I need professional opinion? Should I start on the great endeavor knows as Game Of Thrones?

Not unless you wanna waste 70-80 hours of your life just to be massively pissed off...I think you should just watch until the end of season 7 and then just make up whatever ending you like in your head..

Because no matter how stupid that ending is....it will still be better than the ending to GoT.
