F that place. Keep sending the convicts

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

Hey, I dropped the class.

 

[Rishvol]

Husband. Yeah that class has the great distinction of being my only "c" for the final grade in high school or college. Blemish on my transcripts...ha.

I had him for genetics also. I think I lost knowledge of genetics because of that class

When were you at etsu?

 

[StanfordVol]

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...

I like Hyatt, he worked hard, improved, and helped us beat bama, so I don’t like playing devils advocate about him. But I totally understand why some people had doubts about how successful he would be at the next level. I think the distinction is that when the scheme broke down and it was up to the players to make something happen, guys like Tillman or Jennings made it happen. I just honestly don’t remember a time when Hyatt made a huge play and wasn’t wide open.
Btw do you remember what game he had those catches in traffic? I really can’t remember a single time that he caught a 50/50 ball or anything like that. I’d like to look it up and rewatch it.

I'll take my chances with those.

So I’ve basically checked out on football and basketball recruiting for probably the last 3 years.
Who are the big 4-5 players on our wishlist?

It's no different than going to the school that can give you the most grant money as a student. You're seriously clutching pearls over something that has nothing to do with you. These athletes went decades with having their identities stolen with no restitution. They're getting what they're worth in the free market now and you're butthurt about it. You either need to change your perspective or start donating more to the Tennessee NIL fund.

Both

I’ve followed baseball for 50 years and your argument is old and tired. If you don’t like a guy celebrating after a big hit then be a better pitcher. Intentionally throwing a hard ball at someone because you don’t like them is a criminal offense anywhere else in our world. Baseball should eliminate intentionally hitting batters from the sport. IMO

Mike Matthews, Ryan Wingo, Williams Nwaneri, Sammy Brown, Kamarrion Franklin, Elijah Rushing, Eddrick Houston, Jerrick Gibson, Peyton Lewis, Jordan Ross, Kameryn Fountain, Jaden Reddell, Marques Easley, Daniel Calhoun, Brandon Baker, Caleb Odom, Nate Frazier, Daniel Hill, Boo Carter.

These probably the “big fish” names I hear people talking about hoping for the most.

How is that different from sliding spikes up? Is that criminal too?

Did you ever read Daniel Dennett? His stuff on consciousness and other areas are nice.

One of my favorite Don Drysdale quotes went something like this…. (Not word for word)…. He stated that…. One time the manager came out and wanted me to intentionally walk the next batter…. I wound up hitting him instead….. why waste four pitches when one will do?

He’s not going to make it in the NBA so he should make money while he can

Thanks for the info, I’ll start researching and following these guys.

 

[Devo182]

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

Literally had a Comp Sci teacher at ETSU that told the class they'd spend their careers maintaining boring database programs and all the jobs were going abroad...right as the web and app areas were just beginning to POP. Scared a bunch of us off.

Tbh had a much better experience with UT professors. ETSU folks seemed jaded (not hating, I did enjoy the overall campus experience and always consider myself a Buc secondarily).

But he ain't wrong. Nobody is leaving UM to Kansas for the education. Call it what you want, but folks want to strike the money pot while it's hot.

How dare they. Almost acting like coaches!

In Australia, the reef pulls you in and suffocates you, the small fish is being killed by the tentacle thingies that are also waiting to kill you, and the turtle is poisonous.

I saw a clam down there at least twice the size of the cherry desk standing in the mahogany air of your book-lined library.

I know what you are thinking. Where's linguine when you need it?

The frog behind the turtle will kill you if you touch it.

If the sea snake bites you, you're done.

Noo-see-ums will swarm you, along with blck flies and give you malaria.

Firenados will burn youe village.

old mine shafts will consume your body, where your bones will be used by brown snakes and death adders to ambush other idiots.

Who? This guy? I actually need to go back and reread a lot of stuff I read in my early to mid twenties. I keep waiting for my son to get old enough to pull one off the shelf. Ha!
