I’m talking about Jerry Rice from the NFL….. All Pro… HOF, Jerry Rice…. It got the point that it sounded like fans thought it was a combination of Antonio Brown, Jerry Rice, Megatron, and Bo Jackson after the catch while high stepping like Deion Sanders into the end zone…. I think he will be great but will probably be a little disappointing to fans who have their standards set unrealistically…. I hope he explodes and dominates though.

I think we lived through different realities if your central point is that JERRY RICE couldn't live up to the hype some have generated for Thornton. As far as all the other names you threw on top of it? You may be exaggerating. ;)

I am in no way defending Kitna but I think the punishment depends on whether it is able to be charged federally or at the state level… most state level charges are usually pled down from my experience keeping up with it…. They just want to ensure that the perp is on the sexual predator list… I don’t know why the punishments aren’t harsher…. I am ok with giving them the death penalty….. the person involved in that has no redeeming qualities at all.

That “tan” appears to be mostly dirt and grass with some leg hair to help hold it together.

I’m now up to about 56 basal cell cancers over the years. I’m going to have to have about 9 Mohs procedures this Fall. Too many sunburns. I am concerned that many may also be due to X-Ray scatter radiation exposure to my legs below the knees. That’s where most of them are currently.
Thankfully, they are not squamous cell or malignant melanoma.

Public Service Announcement: For years, I used Aldara cream to get rid of the basal cell cancers. Just found out that it’s only about 70% effective in completely eradicating the basal cell. If it’s a superficial type, then it works the best. If the basal cell is nodular, then none of the topical meds are effective against it. It may temporarily reduce its size, but it’s just burrowing deeper. Also, if it doesn’t get 100% of the superficial lesion, the transition to nodular is pretty high. (By the end of this football season, I will look like Frankenstein’s monster. 😁)

But that will be okay because our Vols will be

15-0 🤠

I am about to go cut the grass again today and @VolsDoc81TX is just reading a posting from the last time I cut the grass. 😆 You are the best Doc.

15-0!

That’s why it is a discussion…. All our semi-struggles were usually tied directly to how we ran the football… Teams that held it in check usually had success stopping our running game from chewing up yardage.

Still don't know what that has to do with my theory that Hooker sometimes forced the ball to Tillman. Never stated that predilection was the ONLY factor in the losses...just a substantial portion. A misfire trying to get him the ball spread out over the course of the game, affects the effectiveness of the running game and overall strategy. What was the difference in rushing for 182 against Bama and 152 against SC? Thirty yards change the strategy that much?

Tillman was Hooker's security blanket when needing a crucial play during the game. Hyatt was Homerun threat but on 3rd and 6 Hooker looked for Tillman...

Looked for him long too. Hyatt exploded after Tillman’s injury. TBF, they never got to gel after Hyatt’s emergence. Hooker would’ve figured it out imo if we had made the playoffs sans these hiccups and his own injury.

Yes i do realize that. Im just pointing out the fact that technically he was right. He just worded his statement wrong.

No, he was by all metrics incorrect. By a factor of 100.

0.008% means 0.00008.
0.8% means 0.008

Saying he was "technically right" is technically and literally and quatifiably wrong.

I have hardly seen any heup for Dont'e Thornton

It feels like people have forgotten about him

I've heuped him because he is absolutely perfect for this offense.

Heupel has made every WR he's had in this offense look great and now he has a 6'5 dude in the 4.3 4.4 range. He's gonna get him open a lot.
