Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[NMVol]

All this Ali vs Tyson talk is honestly making me wonder who's better, LeBron or Jordan?

Tony Roche or Rod Laver?

 

[drvenner]

Do the Vol baseball jerseys run large, small, or true to size?

yes

 

[apevol]

Well, there was that one time where he invoked the never-seen-before strategy of chomping on the other guy's ears in the clinch. That was innovative. Holyfield wasn't a big fan of it though.

it was original, ill give him that.

 

[drvenner]

He really was a likable guy. Perfect set up. Vegas roots go so deep in the sport.

He also beat a man to death for $900.

Edit: He actually stomped him to death.

[Dudleys87]

First sport to break out a national Title?

Mens Basketball, Football, or Bazeball

Obviously we all want one in football but if Baseball gets one Tony V will cut one of the best Tennessee promos ever.

Well..I have vastly overestimated someone on his media persona

Man, I wish I could’ve seen this live. I was in the car on my way to Florida with my then-girlfriend, now-wife. I just asked that she drive during the game because I was afraid I’d be dangerous behind the wheel depending on how things went. Will never forget Tim Priest’s interrupting Kesling with “CAUGHT! TENNESSEE WINS!!!” My wife nearly ran off the road. Good times.

It happened a long time ago, and he did a lot to make sure it got covered up in the media when he was promoting boxing.

Wow.
Well at least I got the boxing corruption part correct.

Time is running somewhat short for Barnes IMO..He needs success to some level for validation.
Everything to win it all is such knocking on the door over and over.

 

[NMVol]

Greg Maddox

OK. Sidd Finch or Doc Ellis?

 

[engineerVOL]

It is simply unacceptable for Alabama to be good at basketball. I reject that this is happening and will not recognize it. That is all.

 

[peaygolf]

Track and Field?

Yea
