Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[LadyVolette]

I worked at Opryland theme park in my teens. Country music stars (performing at the Geo theater) would always stroll through the park casually. Only the tourists would bother them.

Exactly.. locals know those people don’t want to be bothered

Meh. Lots of offensive production not around. To be expected.

And many 9-3 teams end up around that. Especially if one of our wins isn't Bama/UGA. Won't get much respect (at this point at least) for beating UF or TAMU.

As Bruce Pearl sits with a bag of popcorn.

Sounds very similar to what Pearl did. Wonder if Harbaugh gets a 3 year cause ? I doubt it

I'm a Vol.

Through and through.

I get it..........
I love my older, wiser cousin (UT), but I gotta be me. Let's Go Peay.............

It'll be only the 2nd time I've ever rooted against UT.......2013 vs Peay

I'm a Gov!
4 year letterman
Captain
OVC Champion

Have to..........

Then watching the game will be a well deserved punishment for you.

 

[Devo182]

They're gonna be very good next year. And with an easy path to ACC championship, I can see it.

Possible they have a good season, but as long as they recruit #19, such as this year, it'll only be a blip. They also scraped by in a number of wins this year. ONE ranked win...by 1 point vs the 1st P5 game by a new HC (Kelly).

UF and Oklahoma sucked by season's end. Lost to NC St and Clemson and Wake. Norvell ain't it imo

I worked in Smithville for a few years and there’s a lot of country music people that lived down on Center Hill Lake, most famously Alan Jackson.

There was a lot said that he was an A hole but I think that’s confusing someone of a private nature who wants to be anonymous when he’s not on stage and I can get that. There was a story that he was in the local grocery store one day and some redneck exclaimed “Hey! I know who you are!!” Jackson supposedly retorted “Really?! I don’t know who the F—- you are!”

May or may not be true, but I thought it was funny if so. I’ve ran across famous folks, and I leave them alone.

No question about that.
It'll be a blood bath. Worse than the Alabama game this year. But I'll be there..............

 

[Devo182]

Is that Thurman Murman on the left?

If he brings the wooden pickle, he's on the team.

Back before Nashville turned into Country Music Disney World I walked into the Old Hickory Waffle House at some ungodly hour and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were in there eating. Nobody bothered them, we all just ate hash browns and waffles.

Creepy blurry stalker pic taken blindly over your shoulder or it didn’t happen.

 

[BigSteve09]

I'm not buying #4.........but if a couple of the transfers preform like last years did .....they could/should challenge Clemson for the ACC.

I went to school with a bunch of Country Stars kids and when you know them and their parents you find out they are just like everybody else, they just are able to sing and make a living instead of doing something else.

Aren't you like 70 ? Was it Hank Williams kids ?

Which one are we recruiting?

“I will call him…Mini Me!”

 

[jakez4ut]

Yup. Easy to see why we really wanted verse. Fsu's challenge next year is dealing with the hype. That'll be the indicator, imo, whether or not norvell is the real deal or a version of butch Jones. I personally think he's done very well and they'll be good next year. But if they fall flat, won't be a good sign.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I’m all for FSU being good.

They mess with Clemson in the ACC.
They play Florida every year.
They fight with Georgia for a lot of recruits.

Rooting for them is easy for me.

 

[InVOLuntary]

At first seeing us at 18, I guess I thought it was reasonable. But Texas Tech, Oregon State, and Notre Dame are all ahead of us. Don’t even care what they have coming back. I don’t think they are better than us.

We just beat Clemson and return as much as they do and they have them top 10.

 

[thistime]

Aren't you like 70 ? Was it Hank Williams kids ?

LOL nope, Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Cal Smith, Merle Haggard, The Oak Ridge Boys just to name a few. That's not counting song writers, producers and on and on.

 

[VolNash17]

Whatever the final amount is I think White will lock down Heupel for the foreseeable future. Athletics are doing good as a whole. Now it’s time to pull through in one to win a national championship. Baseball probably the likeliest

Forgot to say Happy New Years a few days ago everyone. Let everyone have a Happy and healthy New Years

Hank Jr is 73…so the math checks out. Tidbit I didn’t know was that Hank Sr had divorced Audrey and married Billy Jean Eshelman in 1952…a year before his death. She then married another country star, Johnny Horton (The Battle of New Orleans) in 1953 and he died like Hank 7 years later…in a car crash.

Yes, he has the PAC 12 and ACC ranked high with a lot of teams. He must not of watched their bowl games.

 

[VolNash17]

Jared Verse returning for the Noles. That FSU LSU game will be pretty hyped up

We were unranked last year when it didn’t count. #Progress
