Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

I really don’t understand why this is even an issue. This is exactly how pro sports are. Not everyone gets paid the same

The difference being that pro athletes don't have as much freedom. They sign contracts and get picked up by the teams without as much say so. College athletes choose where they want to play and when they want to leave. They're also in various stages of "proving" themselves. They may wonder if they can get more elsewhere and/or be very competitive over the notion that a teammate they believe themselves "better" than gets paid more.

Including adrenochrome.

As your doctor I suggest you take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my medicine bag...but just a drop.

You have a mix of those coming in with NIL deals having done nothing with those who have done everything without NIL.

Church on Henley St it looks like.

Yep. Church Street United Methodist. Beautiful inside as well

Edit: Apparently not but it's still a beautiful church

It's disappointing reading the sizable number of postings about the bowl game being meaningless. That is such nonsense. Our players worked tirelessly to earn the right to compete in one of the most prestigious posteason bowls. The Orange Bowl is a big deal. And we should be proud of our team and its accomplishments. Ranked #6 in the nation, ranked #9 in 2023 recruiting, players earning postseason awards are but a few reasons for celebration. I will be enjoying our bowl game, win or lose. I'm so proud of how far this team has come. Let's go Vols!!!!!

Could not agree more. Thank you for posting it

 

[drvenner]

Well its all about perspective. For fans who have been lost in the wilderness, its a very big deal. For a possible first round draft pick, with millions on the line, its not. See the difference?

I take it we signed 14 EE's today?

 

[lilesrt]

We didn’t want him running bc we only had walk ons behind him.

Understandable.

 

[drvenner]

Coaches answering Beamer's questions about who he is thinking of hiring as OC.

Maybe I’m overstepping, but I feel the vast majority of this board are funny, intelligent and likable people who like to interact and share personal experiences and thoughts. No one should ever have to apologize for those qualities.

Who are you and what the hell have you done with @butchna ?

 

[drvenner]

I never said anyone's take precendece. but trust me, your feelings towards me, its mutual. Only difference is I'm honest and straightforward where you like to toss word salads that contain little to nothing of substance.

Just wondering who pissed in your Cheerios this morning.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Just wondering who pissed in your Cheerios most mornings.

FYP

Who are you and what the hell have you done with @butchna ?

Always been here. Just needed male menopause to manifest itself.

 

[drvenner]

Which was better?
Hooker's game winning drive against Bama or Hyatt's 5 tds vs Bama?

Yes

Does anyone else wonder if Banks off field issues will cause him to drop? I really thought he had turned the corner after, "they shoot cops where I'm from", but after whatever ultimately cost him to miss the SCar game, will GMs think twice about him?

He’s just not very smart so I wouldn’t draft him. He plays haphazardly.
