Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

It's been a while. I think it's about time to go back.

Went there last year. It was great

Curious, did the Eustachian tube issue show up on a MRI?
Could you see fluid pushing the tympanic membrane (ear drum) out?
Who figured that out and how did they confirm it? Very curious.

I would like to know also. I get vertigo sometimes when my neck goes out. I’ve had several doctors and nurses tell me that is not the reason. I just try to get it back in or go to the chiropractor knowing it will stop. Is it standard to say they have nothing to do with each other? Can it show up on an MRI? I did have a NP that did something where I let my head fall off the back of the table with head turned to one side and eyes open while he caught it and held for several seconds. The room was spinning and tried to not throw up, but the vertigo was gone!

Tennessee basketball transfer BJ Edwards has committed to SMU, the freshman point guard announced on social media Friday afternoon.

The Knoxville native will play for former Tennessee basketball assistant coach Rob Lanier with the Mustangs. Lanier was named SMU’s head coach on March 27 following three seasons in charge at Georgia State.

Wtf is this pin? I think Adams is the idiot. Did she order this guy to wear it or is the vibe in the office that it's the way to keep your job?

Or are they trying to make Nashville try to keep them?

It feels like we are due for about 5 commits before the end of June

That is balance for life techniques….. I was trained in that years ago.

there are laptops that can get blown up in a car bomb and still send emails, I don't think the dancing robots are worried about us

We were a nationwide joke that a lot of knowledgeable people (even a lot of us, guys like LWSvol) had written off forever as a national power when Heupel took over...LSU was not the same situation and I'm not going to argue it...everybody knew LSU was a good coach away back then and even when they struggle now.

I get what you’re saying and you’re not wrong.

But…although I knew our program had been run into the ground by idiots over the last decade, I never doubted we would be back at some point. I spent years out here battling OU fans who mocked me for saying Tennessee was still a great program and would be back in the conversation. Needless to say, this last year was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for more.

Trying to follow along as a newbie here and can’t keep up with the acronyms.

VN PSA. IYKYK.

Nick is one of the best coaches of all time….. he wouldn’t have been scared and would have been successful here…. He coached at Toledo, Mich State, LSU, and Bama…. He was also considered a great defensive mind in the NFL That does not negate the amazing job that Heup has done here…. We are very lucky to have him.

I don’t think NS would have left Michigan State for the mess Tennessee was in. LSU’s roster was in much better shape and easily fixable in LA with boosters in place to make it happen. Tennessee’s roster was a nightmare with the best talent gone from a discombobulated team, booster fighting, the whole AD fighting, the AD fired along with the coach, the NCAA invited in along with investigators…… NS became known as the greatest football coach because he chose LSU and AL to be able to get the most talent. He didn’t do that in the NFL or MSU. He was just good there.
I don’t think we need to forget the total disaster we were that was one more bad coach away from no return. Sure a NS could have fixed us. But no one was willing to take us on.

They say a joke becomes a dad joke when it becomes apparent. @StoVol would say it's when it's all groan.

Wright always had the latent talent and I don't see anybody on the OL right now with that much latent ability to coach up..I agree we have a really good Ol coach, and I think, or at least I hope, they can put a decent OL out there.

I just don't see anybody doing as well as DW this year...I don't think people realize how special of a year he had...Joe is just not (probably) going to have the time to throw that HH had against elite SEC pass rushers, and the running game is going to suffer some against good defenses also...the question then...is how much.

I hope it is unfounded concern...we will see.

I appreciate the RT position more than many due to my recollection of the legendary Cowboys OL of the 90’s. Before Larry Allen was drafted (after the first two SB’s of that dynasty), there was ONE singular HOF talent…RT Erik Williams. The rest were a cobbled together collection ranging from Pro Bowl type Mark Stepnoski, to journeymen Nate Newton and Kevin Gogan and a converted DL Mark Tuinei protecting the blindside. TOGETHER under the coaching and development of Hudson Houck implementing Jimmy Johnson’s central vision, they ran roughshod over the league. Point? You don’t have to be generational talent at OL to get the job done to fantastic results. You just need someone or someONES to move you in that direction. That’s what I see here. This time next year, we’ll be vexing over replacing generational talent Spraggins…and we’ll be covered. Heupel/Ellarbee/Schmidt…trust the process.

I'm not arguing this stupid point with you...we were a disaster..period.

Out

We even had books written about it!

Who figured that out and how did they confirm it? Very curious.

Chiropractor diagnosed and had previous success with other patients. X-rays revealed from cervical spine/atlas/skull scan. She had gone to an ENT for over 30 years who had done the other imaging previously. He diagnosed her with Meniere's. Had her taking fluid pills all of that time to reduce the pressure of the fluid on the ear drum with minimal improvement. I have picked her up off the floor and steadied her when she would suddenly lurch to one side countless times through the decades. I tried to always walk at her left side since that is the way she usually fell.

As an example; she would sit on the passenger side in the vehicle and stare straight ahead. if she looked to one side or the other it would appear as if the poles, trees, etc. were coming straight at her. I stayed in the right hand lane as much as possible since when a car would pass us on the right it would throw her balance off. She could not nap in the vehicle. When we wallked into large stores, the lighting would throw her balance off. Again, for decades.

Now - it is gone. Began seeing improvements very quickly. She no longer needs the fluid pill. Her BP has dropped to low normal ranges after being high for decades. She was on Amlodipine - no longer needs or takes. She would have BP spikes once per month and would take Clonidine. The spikes became less frequent until the point they are now gone as well. None for 4 months and counting.

She is over 70 years old. You helped us with recommendations when she fell through a deck under repair and fractured her tibia socket two years ago (still appreciate greatly). She has recovered from all of that as well. She started the chiro care one year ago. It helped the knee as well with the spinal alignment. This Chiro is a bit unusual in that she is a teaching professional who has 12 years of medical education/training before going into practice.

Hope this helps!

Anyone who thought Tennessee could NEVER get back was engaging in serious cope. In this conference and with our resources and tradition, we were always just a sleeping giant. Comparing us to fallen powers like Nebraska and Colorado was never a legitimate argument.

There is no way to prove this now but at the time…. Nick was like Heup….. a young good coach that hadn’t proven a lot… I believe he would ran to the SEC to coach a Tenn team from Michigan state… Neither Nick nor Heup would go the other direction once they became household names.

We have good recruiting base as well…. We are within 4 hours of a lot of talent.

Once again Dallas gets the prostate check

As long as Jerry Jones remains the owner, they deserve it.
