Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Billy Antrim]

Another of Brushy Bill's ilk?

Brushy Bill makes you wonder, just a little bit. Who is buried in Billy's grave?

 

[tnvols72]

Tn should be up 25-5 easy

Anyone else have covid and lose their sense of smell and taste? If so, how long did it take to come back? Just hit me today...so weird to eat and drink stuff and taste nothing.

Took a month to get anything back, 1 year before most things didn't taste and smell like sewage, 2 years before almost everything is back to normal, though some flavors are so extreme now that they're unpleasant.

I'm an extreme example though. Supposedly modern strains aren't nearly as destructive on taste and smell long term. You should be good within a month unless you got super unlucky like I did.

 

[gordonr24]

This defense is the best I’ve seen with Barnes’ teams and that 17-18 team and last year’s team were pretty good on that end

 

[Jackcrevol]

This team's defense is best since Grant and Admiral.

I'm a believer.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Do you taste absolutely nothing or just a reduction in overall taste?

Absolutely gone. Slightly reduced last night and then nothing about 10 hours later.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Weird.

I've always wondered. . . do you still feel the burn from something like a jalapeno or red pepper or something spicy? That would very strange.

 

[gordonr24]

It is clear that we have Maryland out of sync.

Yeah, hopefully it won't be like that...but there's definitely worse side effects I could be dealing with. It's just such a weird thing to experience.

From the comments, I honestly thought we were getting our butts kicked by Maryland

Offensively, UT is missing point blank shots. It happens. They’re getting good shots and cuts and second chances on the boards.

Defensively, it is elite.

What you're thinking is exactly what's been running through my mind. I'm tempted to do some experimenting.

No, we have an elite defense. Offense can struggle, but we also haven’t played with a full team yet.

 

[jave36]

I don't mind bad offense, but missing so many free throws is going to kill us again this year.

Also, are we the new UVA? Set the over under at double digits any game we're playing?

it isnt just FT's, lotta missed layups.

Yes, the burn is unrelated to taste. It's a weird sensation to taste nothing and have your tongue be on fire.

 

[jakez4ut]

Basket Vols came to play!

Can't be overstated how important that is. Plus 9 turnovers so far.

We’ve missed some today, but we shoot 74% for the season.

Now @utvols83 has to try it and report back.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Anyone else noticing the outro music is straight up circa NBC NBA 2000 era?

Thought it sounded familiar.

At one point we were like 1-12 from the field and missed 4 or 5 layups. They were just worse.
