Recruiting forum off topic thread (no politics, covid, or hot button issues)

So my perception is that you’re jealous because he is wealthy and does what you can’t then talks about on SM.

His information was not wrong. Things changed. He should have said “at this time” to clarify for those that needed it. Like AP, etc. does so people don’t freak out on them. Well, not as much. They still do.

It's really odd that you are defending dude so much. Who cares what a few people believe?

We're talking about prognostications for recruiting 18 year old kids, not a medical diagnosis.

Did I imply that it was ?

Frankly I dont give one rats posterior if guy has money. He was a dick, on a message board. Other than that, I dont gas.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Because some people are trash. And literally wake up in the morning and decide to have hate in their heart.

Kinda like you calling people trash? That's pretty hateful

 

[Jackcrevol]

99 vawl was legit….can’t forget MetalVolunteer he has good info usually when he pops in.

no those dudes have good intel

 

[UTSuave’]

no those dudes have good intel

For sure

Some folks don't understand the difference between reporting what you know of the present and being able to predict the future.

This. If I ever know someone that knows something, I promise I will be here to tell it first. I will not care if someone, or several someones, jump on me with all the I don’t believe. And I will not care if someone is keeping score of how many times it is right.

If you just want to know when they are committing, go to Twitter for your info!

 

[SweetasSoda]

He's legit, regardless of how many times he's been wrong.

He was only wrong if they lied like Darnell Washington or changed their mind.

I love this!

Why didn’t I think of that?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Because I appreciate what the dude did, and I really HATE that we can’t have people come tell us what they know and are hearing because a bunch of juveniles or jocks feel the need to run them off to protect us all from heartbreak. I’m a big girl and can take it.

So exactly why do you care what the rest of us believe???

Thar may be a paradoxical statement, if not contradictory.

You serious, Clark? Even the coaches can't guarantee which players will sign on the dotted line come signing day. There is a huge difference between knowing things and predicting things. There's neither paradox nor contradiction in being connected and being wrong sometimes.

Man, he was wrong 85% of the time. He was literally on here for atta boys, because he had money. His ego couldnt fit through the door.

Just because he gave money to UTAD doesnt make him a Saint. Who cares? If he's a good dude that you have beers with on weekend, that happens to have some coin. Wont feel need to come upinheah thumpin his chest like he just conquered the Mongol horde.

I know some folks with FU money, and several well off folks. Some are prominent donors to UTAD. They're great folks, who give but seek nothing in return.

Actually just lost one of them last year, a good friend. FU money, self made. One of my mentors, a UT grad. One of the most humble human beings ive ever met.

That is respect, earned.

97% of stats are made up on the spot.

I don't care one way or the other. I had to go look up who AV was. I remember him but hadn't thought of him in years.

But you should probably look to your own motives and heart before judging some dude on the internet that you didn't know, and are sitting here attributing motives to. You've already admitted to being jealous of money, and to be honest, it's kind of how your posts are reading.

Am I jealous that someone is extremely wealthy? Of course. That's the humanness inside. However, I do well enough. And my happiness and joy come from something elsewhere. Money truly can create a lot of extra issues.

Its in a book somewhere.

Coveting is no less unbecoming than bragging. It's in that same book. Bragging is defining oneself by posessions and seeking glory from it. Coveting is believing that you deserve what God hasn't deemed to give you, and that you deserve it more than the one who has it. It's an arrogance of its own kind.

Humility is seeing your station, no matter what it is, as God's grace in some way, even if that way hasn't been revealed yet (Romans 8:28).


But at the end of the day, you used an excluded middle fallacy to attack some stranger on the internet. There is no contradiction between knowing something and being wrong about things. Your friend is a realtor and tells you the house is closing in 30 days. The buyer asks for an extension to shop banks. You crucify the friend and claim there's no way they can be a realtor?

(PS: I don't have it together. I read Philippians 2:3 every day because I know I'll fail it every day, and will need a very fresh reading to remind me of the failures in real time. "Do nothing out of selfish rivalries." My heart is tuned for selfish rivalries. It's a life ambition to stop those impulses. Grace to you, sir.)

I dont believe I'm attacking. Well, until my last post. I'm a bit tired of talking about it actually.

You had me until 4th paragraph.

Sorry, I interpreted your post as a reference to the Bible, so made reference of my own. It was pretty explicit about how it's viewed.

Yes, I see now.

Well said, friend

Much love, brother. To be fair, I edited the post so you may have missed some of my heart, as it wasn't expressed fully to begin with.

I don't. It's obvious you care a bit too much about this.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I don't. It's obvious you care a bit too much about this.

You don’t care what some of us believe about AV, and yet you decided to tell me I should not post about it???? You obviously care enough to spend time posting.

And, yes, I will always defend a Vol fan. And I will always encourage people to post what they know even though they are going to bring out the vultures.

Never said you shouldn't post. Try reading what I'm posting, all I said was that you seem way to vested in what the other two guys were saying. They have their opinion and you attacked them. I don't care either way but they made some valid points.

Are you saying I attacked the ones that attacked AV? Well, yeah, I already said I would defend a Vol fan (especially one that did so much for other Vol fans and brought us information). But if you tried to read what I posted, I explained why their points were not valid….they say he was useless because he was wrong sometimes. I say he was fun and gave us information we would not have had. But after all this it comes down to Jack not liking that he let people know that he did good things for others and hated that we got excited when he told us something. So I will post when they post.

He said he hated when we got excited? I missed that.

Said he wasn’t going to kiss his…
Meaning we did.
