Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Lloyd_Christmas]

100%

I CANNOT watch UT football with anyone else, barring a party of 100% vol fans that get it and shut up and only speak to cheer and make angry comments toward the tv.

I've met a lot of people like that. My wife doesn't get it, but she's boarded up in the other room in her cage, so I've got it covered.

Wouldn't mind if my wife did the same. She always says she wants to watch the game but then spends 80% of the time looking at her phone and will interrupt the game to ask me about something in the game she missed. I really need to get my basement set up so I can watch the games in my own space.

Thanks for the memories Hendo Cinco. Excited to see what happens for him next in the NFL.

 

[Clevegasvol]

Yes he is.

Why not get better?

Lloyd in, Small out.

I’ve seen people argue for Small because he has better stats and all I can do is roll my eyes.

Edit: Just saw you say the same thing in a post lol

 

[SweetasSoda]

Well, I have squalled my eyes out! HH!

Been at the ER with my husband all day. He had another episode last night where he can’t remember the day or events. Last night he couldn’t remember if he turned on the shower or got in, nothing about Christmas or that our son was in rehab. Then he had a seizure on me this morning. Lots of tests but we’re not able to do an MRI to see if there were mini strokes. Everything was fine except his sugar dropped really low while there. Doctor’s appointment next week. Y’all be praying please.

Prayers sent

 

[Govolsman98]

Yes he is.

Why is he better? His stats are marginally better than Jabaris and aren't better than wrights? Sampson is young and has great potential so I don't want to lose him

 

[CAVPUT]

I recognize the artists behind:
DSOTM (this would sound unreal )
Sgt Peppers
White Album
Zep (duh)
Rumours
Aja
That Kanye album

Who are the others?

You poor soul. Go explore music from the 60s and especially the 70s. Revelatory.

Mine couldn't care less about the games but she has this innate skill for wanting to go somewhere or do something exactly when we play. She has no idea we play or what time UT plays but no matter, it always comes during a UT game. Thank gawd for DVR and YouTube.

Sounds similar to what my wife went through about 3 years ago. She went to work one day and could not remember how to get home, started having mini seizures and forgetting recent events.

Stats don’t tell the full story. Lloyd would have better stats here if that’s the what you’re worried about. If you think Small and Lloyd are similar backs, you haven’t watched Lloyd at all.

Lloyd is a top 3 Sec back in terms of talent. Small is average at best.

We reverse it in my house.. I go upstairs and watch the game on the big TV while my husband does something else.. I told him my next husband will like football, it is the only prerequisite lol, we just visited with his grandfather who is 88 and still mows the yard and gets on the tractor, so it probably isn’t going to happen lmao

 

[SweetasSoda]

Finally nutted up and got a record player (with USB/pre-amp for direct sampling too ).

I'm thinking Nina Simone live albums would sound fantastic on vinyl. What are some others y'all think would be enhanced off a record player?

Just got my granddaughter Anne Wilson and The Beach Boys Greatest Hits if you want to try those.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I really don’t like watching Tennessee football with friends and extended family. Folks want to small talk and I have a hard time caring what other people are saying.

That sounds like torture to me.

Haven’t seen it mentioned in this debate at all,
But it’s vital to CJH, how is he at pass blocking?
I think most agree , Small is the least dynamic of our 3 backs at running but he’s the # 1 back.

Moral of the story is that hubby gets the basement? Reverse-sexists!!!!

My wife did this exact scenario to me today. My in laws are in town and my wife this morning goes, “We should go out to dinner tonight.” I shot her a look and said, “Y’all will be going out without me. I’m watching UT.” Honestly I hope they do. I’d rather have the house to myself tonight.

He gets the run of the first floor.. not sure what he will be doing, maybe cooking something?

You need to put the 2023 schedule in her planner now!

What was it with her? Did she have the low sugar?

 

[GVol1966]

We need a safety like NC st Tanner Ingle.
That dude puts a hit on the ball carrier they won’t forget

Wow a lot of people can empathize with this. Hate football parties.

“Yeah, yeah, Danny, bean dip good, new hot tub nice, your bourbon podcast wow groundbreaking stuff, NOW FOR THE LOVE OF PETE SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE, JOE MILTON JUST HURLED ONE DOWNFIELD”

Haven’t had a good one since Janzen Jackson

 

[Nuctech777]

I’m legitimately nervous about this one tonight. At Myrtle Beach though so might go watch it at Dave and Buster’s.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Can't beat analog.

Go ahead and say it. You can do it.
