I told the wife this reminded me of the first kiss she gave me. She said "You wish."

Well yeah you got pot smoking hobbits and wizards.

And a lack of one thousand different species specifically there to try and kill you. Australia is spider murderville. Plus the hoardes of Emus that once defeated the Australian military. No thanks.
Australia also has a large number of the most poisonous species of snakes in the world.
 
Yes. And yes, agreed. Bright teacher. It was enjoyable enough to want to audit. Like I said, great guy to have a beer with. Horses ass in class, but, its who he is. He's very transparent about it.
I think he got tired of repeating himself over and over again to thick skulled Neanderthals and ditzy coeds who had no clue how to think and thought everyone should take their opinions as Gospel just because they had them. Definitely came across as arrogant but I credit him with one of a handful of professors that challenged my world view and had a lasting effect on my life.
 
Go to etsu? I took logic and loved the class. Sounds like the same teacher. Also took philosophy as conversation with him too if it's the same guy.

And I liked the intentional debates in class. I learn better when my position is challenged.

Had one history professor at ETSU that sounds a bit like what you all are describing. Really liked to push different groups' buttons. And while not a philo guy, he tended toward philosophy. Basically shat on all religious thought when talking Deism, the founding fathers, and classical physics.

My 2nd week at ETSU...he was teaching US History and told the class the main reason the KKK developed after mob lynchings in the south was due to penis envy. The audible gasps in the class were hilarious. And then all the SDE dudes started trying to argue with him and got shut down real quick 😅🤣😂 absolutely hilarious class I'll never forget. I was crying laughing.

Certainly taught to critically think for onesself.

How to argue and defend your position.

And would speak to many who lean unto their own understanding.

My US History teacher's name was Dr Chen, was on loan from University of Beijing. Sat down, made it to first break, and dropped the class. I could not understand a word that poor man said, not his fault. I'm just hard of hearing I guess.

Sounds like my world history teacher I had there. Don't really remember much about my U.S. teacher except he hated George W. Bush. Funny the things that stand out.

Yeah my genetics teacher was the same. Understood every other word. I zoned out a lot in that class...

I don't think most people realize this, but not all of Australia was used as a British penal colony. In South Australia, Barossa Valley was settled by free German immigrants, and McLaren Vale was largely settled by free Italian immigrants. There is a lot of great food in those areas.
Tiny lil Akaroa was the only French settlement in NZ. (Still does its best to feel Mediterrean.)

There's great food in Sydney too if you know where to look.

Pretty sure I had him. Didn't learn a lick of history.

Life on Colonial era Austrailia wasnt easy, in fact, I bet it being Penal was very hard.

I’m a vol fan so I could be biased, but I think they don’t get the questions because if you watch them play, they look like they would be successful anywhere. Tillman was mossing guys and dragging DBs down the field, and he has prototypical size. Wright stonewalled everybody and is huge.

On tape, Hyatt looks like a burner who is constantly running wide open dude to scheme. I don’t recall him jumping over guys or making crazy contested catches like Tillman. I think it’s fair to wonder if he would have put up those same numbers in a scheme that didn’t have him wide open all the time.

Fair - but apparently Heupel's system put Tillman in positions where he had to moss guys and drag DBs, and it put Wright in positions where he had to stonewall everybody - which are activities that scouts seem to think translate to the next level. That's really my point. Just because someone is questioning Hyatt doesn't mean the entire system puts all players at a disadvantage (that's the inference some seem to be drawing...).

Anyway - Heupel's system clearly helped those guys, so I don't see why it wouldn't also help Jalin Hyatt. Hyatt can't help that he is so much faster than everyone else that he was constantly wide open. Plus, I do recall Hyatt making some catches in traffic and over the middle that were tightly contested...

Oh, Jack, you didn’t just bring up a Communist did you?
