Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXIII

LOL Wut?

I've lived in Central Gardens for 7 years. There are literally hundreds of Lawyers, Doctors, Business Men , & Engineers that live here.

You know, in the city. In "Memphis".

What in the world are you talking about....

Church.

C'mon Senators! You can't lose to a bunch of waddling flightless birds in tuxedos!

Is it illegal to throw a dead penguin on the ice before a game?

Asking for a friend

 

[VolGee4]

I've lived here (Murfreesboro) my entire life minus 4 years in the Navy.

There are parts of Nashville that are so nice. There are parts that scare me just thinking about.

I'm sure Memphis is the same.

Knoxville too.

Can we all just get along?

Bama sucks

Not trying to argue or be funny. Did I see that there have been a couple of murders recently near the MTSU campus? That's not good.

If we play them in the finals, I think it will be encouraged. After you slam a few tall boys first though.

Seriously there are about 5-8 shootings a month in the city limits.

All of them occur when I'm working somehow

Guess it's more acceptable than a Senator 😂

I thought his response was very reasoned. I have never been to Memphis, so I cannot speak to its suckage or lack thereof, but the OP made a very compelling argument, IMO.

Anyone who prefaces a reply with "you're just a racist" is insecure in his argument. I'd point out the myriad of illogical and downright false statements in his novel, but I'm not going to stoop down to argue with someone who is classless and ignorant enough to throw out the racist card so casually. Much better for everyone if I just put him on ignore.

Also, your hockey team is going to get pounded, bring on the trash talk

Maybe not as productive though. Lol.

People murder people everywhere.

Heck there was a murder at my gym today....





















I murdered my workout!

Someone murdered your funny too.



Just awful.

Pens and Sens are tied at 1 apiece.

I've been trying my hand at dad jokes recently.

"You just won the Eastern Conference"

"You get to play the Nashville Predators"

You should be for the Penguins because Senators is probably one of the stupidest nicknames evah.

I am going to say this once and then be done with this topic. No one can deny that demographics have a lot to do with how people think about Memphis. No, I am not calling anyone racist either. But when you list a series of cities and the one that is hated has a different demographic, then it's not a coincidence.

I understand it. There are some rough things that happen in Memphis, and sometimes, it isn't pretty. It happens in every decent sized city, yet Memphis still is viewed as something different. Just like Nashville, the city has some very affluent areas and suburbs where the education is fantastic, the crime is low, and the parks are nice.

Put me on ignore if you choose, but people are fooling themselves if they think otherwise. And...just for the record, I am a conservative and not a minority.

Truth.

And I'm in the same boat as you.
