Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Nash_Vol97]

Lol agree. I blame the rowdy tourists too

And yes before we moved I looked at neighborhoods, not just cities. Though also realized I'd want to visit different areas, so the overall city still does matter, but nowhere near what a city index would indicate. I mean, in Nashville there's about 5 different areas I'd visit regularly, and pretty sure none are dangerous. If anything, a bit uppity like the gulch. And not going to be concerned about drunk tourists by the tonks.

“Blame it on the tourists” is the Nashville motto. I reserve the right to use it whenever I feel like it fits.

Whether the sheep testicles worked or not wasn’t his argument. He argued that if he was willing to do that thinking it would give him an edge, he would have done steroids in this era. By the way, someone smoking oregano trying to get high bc they don’t know any better, is still someone trying to get high but just failing.

You're totally bypassing the point. TRYING and not succeeding does not equal cheating. Bonds has the homerun records because he SUCCEEDED. INTENT doesn't qualify. And that he utilized the Clear to hide his usage adds to the crime.

PSL's are back, baby.

NSIAP

My QB >>> Your QB

 

[Adam Sandler]

Well, --after being named quarterback 2, he's been traded.

Report: Cleveland Browns trade Josh Dobbs after naming him backup quarterback

Cards gonna trade Kyler for a couple draft picks. Maybe dobbs ends up starting.

I am so excited for this season.

I also can't wait to see how fast the narrative changes on Tennessee and especially Joe.

Watching the talking heads as he racks up yards, touchdowns and wins will be amazing to watch.

And I can't wait for the people who can say nice things about Tennessee to try and down play it all and get blasted.

This is going to be fun.

This important point seems to have been omitted from the SEC's release at the spring meeting:

But who would love this more than Sabey and Sabey's direct report Sankey? So I checked a Bammaw source. Per AL.com:

"Fines will now be paid to the opposing schools instead of the previous model that had the money go to an SEC scholarship fund. The new fine structure:

• First offense: $100,000 (up from $50,000)
• Second offense: $250,000 (up from $100,000)
• Third and up: $500,000 (up from $250,000)

"Under this plan, Alabama would have been paid $1 million last year with $500,000 apiece from Tennessee and LSU after the field was rushed after both Tide losses.

"Alabama AD Greg Byrne was part of a three-person working group tasked with finding solutions to field-storming incidents that turned ugly. He suggested stripping home games from offending teams..."

Source: New SEC field-storming rules increase fines

Byrne had an "interesting" suggestion:

“...do you lose a home game?” Byrne said. “I don’t know how much support that has. Is there a way to do some more fines in a little more creative way?"

What you got was Bama-initated "creativity." Source: New policy: SEC teams will pay opponents if fans storm field

This is infuriating! Tired of Nicky running the conference!!

Do they roll that one out as the excuse every Saturday after Vanderbilt loses their football game?

 

[Vol423]

I haven't but that's another possibility once the season starts. So far reports haven't been good on the JUCO offensive lineman (Larry Johnson III) from this last class. I would think that CGG might try the JUCO route for a defensive tackle though. He's had a lot of success with JUCOs in the past.

Now that teams can pick up players through the transfer portal, I would think that adding JUCO players would not be highly desired. By adding transfer portal players, you get a player that has played football against a higher level of competition than a JUCO player, and he likely has proved that he can handle an academic workload and/or not be a behavioral problem, which are not always but often the reason players end up in a JUCO program.

Nobody cares about Vandy athletics here

My annual elk trip got denied this year. Apparently bad winter and killed a lot of the herd. They cut out of state tags by a bunch.
So I’ll be going to Italy and Croatia for 2 weeks. Starting In Naples, Rome, Florence and then Dubrovnik. Any advice or recommendations from people who have been. I’m excited about rome and the wife is excited for Naples

You’d have to go find one of the 5 Vanderbilt football fans that exist and ask them.

Kinda hilarious to be afraid of a totally harmless animal that's the size of a pencil but ok

Yeah, but the storming the field has become a bit of an annoying trend. Especially since we did it. Seemed like everyone was jealous of how awesome ours was they tried to replicate it for views on their tik toks.

Like LSU storming the field against Bama three years after beating them and winning a natty

Embarassing

Idk, we won't be doing it for a while as we enter the DECADE OF THE VAWLS

 

[volbeast33]

Wow! Highly disappointed and surprised at some of you that don’t care about people cheating…because others were too. Sad

I just feel that it’s hypocritical….. if you want a clean game then punish all the known cheaters…. Being punished bc you are a more successful cheater makes no sense to me.

During the Homerun chase with Bonds, McGwire, and sosa….. everyone including MLB knew that chances were really good that they were juicing…. Everyone still tuned in and MLB promoted it every chance they had…. They, obviously, didn’t care that it was happening.

That acronym has an entirely different meaning for Nashville folks. PSLs pissed a lot of folks off when the Titans came to town.

Not proud of it, college football is the only place I condone it. I wish I were wrong, truly...but, I believe we don't have the success we have had, especially in the 80s and 90s, if we didn't cheat. Bear Bryant changed the game. Maybe they were cheating before him, idk...I like to think they weren't, but more than likely...

Idk, but I'm assuming you'd agree...these last 20 years, minus the last two, were miserable. Now, take away the success of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. What's beyond misery?

My neighbor is Croatian. I’ll ask him for advice re Dubrovnik.

Where was the elk hunt going to be?

I didn't mention it in the post, but the article said there is going to be some way for fans to run on to the field after the visiting team has exited.

What is especially annoying is that Sankey forgot to mention the Alabama player assaulting (it passed the legal definition) a Tennessee coed. Since the topic was the "dangerous." Bama fixers prolly just threw her a bag in exchange for silence.)

Sabey and his security escort deliberately and viciously plowed over an A&M coed a couple of years ago, then swerved around a guy, who must have looked like he would punch back.

Also that Sabey actually asked for Sankey to take home games away from other teams. After he covered for his WR and lied about him being "afraid."

It's "little nickie the serial cheat with enforcement immunity" using Sankey as a ventriloquist dummy that's pathetic.

I'm not worried about storming the field.

You're likely already aware of this, but pickpockets are notoriously bad in Rome.
