Funny you ask. Was talking about this very thing with a co-worker just this week. There are about 5 of us scattered across TN.

In all fairness, I dont like big cities. Nashville is sprawled out, and seems to have no soul. Again, I'm sure I'm way off base here to some of you, this is my opinion. Traffic is abyssmal, as is any large city.

Also do not care for the topography, flat expanses. We are blessed in NE TN with lots of mountains.

Fire away, Oda.

Agree with flatness. No bueno.

Also agree Nashville lost its soul about 10-15 years ago and now looks like every other city. That said, I'm sure it retains some of that spirit outside its looks, so that's more than you can say about many cities.

That all said, it sure is a fun place to visit and it seems like a decent city to live in. I'd say it's well above average as far as metro areas go in the southeast.

@TN-POSSUM im here brother! Trying to stay on top of things and can only get stuff done when you redneks aren’t distracting me! How ‘bout them Vols! Screw those nerds on West End. And be happy today Vol fans, lotta SEC teams taking it on the chin tonight.

There's a few on VN, I look for every time I log on and when a week or so passes, I get to wondering about them. (You're on that "RF regulars" list.) Thanks for checking in..... now get back to work!


*I think the baseball team finally got right against the vandiboiz. We'll see how it goes against MSU.

We were discussing that no qb had been successful in the NFL from the beer and shoot….I was talking about Heupel’s version and Art Briles bc they are similar. As a qb coach…. They ran the Air Raid offense at that time… Heup didn’t start incorporating veer and shoot concepts till near the end of his time at Oklahoma… I do think that Heupel can develop QBs…. Guys from this offense just need to prove it on the NFL level.

I think it's just starting from a poor position to make anything of it, simply because...

Hardly anyone runs the veer and shoot. And it's reasonably new.

Simple as that. Not nearly enough data. Talking maybe 2 or 3 schools out of 131 every year. It's not even worth dissecting at that low volume of data.

 

[Devo182]

You continue to demonstrate your PhD is a farce with your lack of refinement.

Did you just tell him he had a PHD?

C'mon, man. This is a family site

 

[Devo182]

The problem is that with the rookie deals now it's so much more profitable to try and hit on the franchise QB every draft.

Lots of super bowl teams have had QBs still on their rookie deals it's actually more cost efficient than what the Jets are trying to do.

Surely there is some rhyme or reason to the madness.

Just not the Levis madness.

It’s more about the narrative that the offense doesn’t prepare the QBs, wrs, RBs for the next level…. We need some successful players to change that narrative.

 

[Devo182]

Beer and shoot? Now we talking about Bray?

This might be Oda's greatest post ever. Did not see that one coming.

 

[volbeast33]

No, I know multiple specific players who were told their scholarships were being pulled at a P5 school. They are not being helped to find new schools. And it is not just Colorado

It’s against NCAA rules so they can call compliance…. It’s more than likely they were just pushed very hard through that door….. probably rightfully so…. An athletic scholarship is for people that are good enough at their level of sport…. Baseball players learn that lesson everyday…. Tony V over recruits every single season…. The best stay on the roster.

A Pentecostal hairdo? Seems pretty family friendly.

I gotta go Bob Evans #1... IHOP #2.

If breakfast doesn't come with a knife fight as an appetizer, then is it really even breakfast?

Never heard of Tim Horton’s and it’s been forever since I ate Perkins or Bob Evans, but if memory serves, I’m going to have to say Cracker Barrel. McDonald’s shouldn’t even be on the list for consideration. Hardee’s breakfast >>>>>> McDonald’s breakfast.

 

[Volsdeep4]

That’s very true. With NIL and these kids wanting to get paid. Well people who get paid get fired too.

"....and that was the moment when CJ Stroud went from a prospective first round draft pick to being lucky to get picked up as an undrafted free agent."

Ah, breakfasts with the grandparents growing up. Really taught me the value of parries and thrusts. Good times.

 

[MEDVOL]

Cracker Barrel, Perkins (off 417), Ihop, Waffle House, meh to the rest.

If this was happening at Tennessee, we would be crucified across all media outlets.

I'm a smart QB, I don't never got nothin' to prove to nobody never. . .

I’m not sure I like this being my best post ever!

Absolutely. Who else do you think would get a free pass besides Saban?

He has been criticized by many people today…. I’m curious to see if it works.

I'm assuming that isn't a quote from Deion. That's some idiot sports analyst trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.

Tim Hortons is a staple in Canada. There is one about every 5 miles in any Canadian city. The food reminds me of Perkins.

 

[butchna]

Let’s win this one! If only to spite Gundy.
