Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[drvenner]

My mum is a travel writer (sixlegswilltravel.com).
She writes from the perspective of a blind traveler and gets invited all over the world to write and review places.

Next week she will be in Kentucky by invite to write about the 2023 Bourbon Classic.

On her way back to Greenville she and my dad will be stopping in Knoxville and have been invited to check out Dead End BBQ and Sweet P's (as well as some other museums and the Sun Sphere and such).

To round out her article she is hoping to add a few more Knoxville area BBQ stops. Other than Applebee's, what is good over there these days?
(To be clear, while she has been invited by the city of Knoxville to go to Dead End BBQ and Sweet P's, they are not expecting free food at the other places, she just really wants to write a good well rounded article because she loves doing it).

There is a small walkup place on Middlebrook Pike called M & M BBQ. I think they may have a couple of outdoor tables, but it is mainly carryout. I used to go there a lot when I worked in NW Knoxville. I think it is very good. I love the sides very much too. Fried cabbage and collards for the win.

View attachment 537300Well these will be other changes that will limit as much scoring across the board like the NFL. Except most people know the hashmarks are a bit different as well

3 & 4 are wack

I know but raise commercial time costs then

After they raise the rates, they would still want all the time slots. Because then they could get even more money. It’s never going backwards. It only gets worse.

#4 is ridiculous. They tried something similar when Fulmer was still coach, and it didn’t last.

Well you're no fun: how is the Birmingham crew supposed to vary the time it takes to spot the ball from .5x to 2x depending on game circumstance?

For out of towners, what’s the story there? What made her decide who got steaks?

InVOL called her "the steak Nazi" so I was just continuing the Seinfeld riff with steak for soup. She was very efficient and ran a tight ship. They were always busy, with long waits so no dawdling! And sometimes, she'd "help" you order. Great post-game memories!

 

[Chuckie]

I have no problem with the rules changes. I think, if anything, it helps a Heupel offense. We don't need to hold the ball very long to score, but most of our opponents needs as much time as possible to try to keep up with us. Am I missing something?

@InVOLuntary got the party started!!!

#4 Is freaking dumb

I would go with a fifth rule and it would save more time than the other 4 combined.

One 90 second TV timeout per quarter.

They are obviously bending the rules of the sport to fit media/money.

As opposed to bending the practices of media to fit the sport.

I loved watching Chris Farley. Not sure how I missed "Almost Heroes". . . is it any good?

It kind of went under the radar since he passed before it was released, honestly might be his worse film sadly. Not a film of his I would tell people to go watch to see his best, but I didn't hate it personally.

A&M is ranked? We're winning then

 

[drvenner]

Litton's is a Knoxville classic. I would say Ye Old Steak House but it's went down hill IMO.

Do you even read, brah? He said BBQ. PHD my azz

 

[drvenner]

I've rewatched the Bama, Clemson, and FL games. I think I'll go LSU this week. That was a huge win for us and a lot of fun.

We lived in Knoxville 80-89 (I came in 81) and she still talks about Buddy's. It was her first Southern BBQ.

I worked at Buddy's at the World's Fair when I was 16. Great experience. Ate there every day. I still go at least once a week. Great bbq for the price.
