Still bummed about missing king Felix by a day. Might tweet him every five minutes from now until game time tomorrow asking if he'll pitch Thursday instead

I hope your right even if he isn't as good as the 4 * rating. most people who don't come to UT I could care less if they every step onto a football field. but booth tried to commit along time ago be cause he was already feeling like a vol for life . and he is from outside this state unlike a lot of us fans who are Vols for life because we were born within 25 miles of Knoxville and loved clad and orange the first time we ever saw it and I will say that being a UT fan has caused my heart to ach some in the nearly half of the century I have been all vol but there are also a lot of moments that happened that made me proud to be as much a fan as anyone I mean anyone out there .I am not saying im a bigger fan than any of you but I will say there is no way anyone on this eath is a bigger fan of THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS AS A WHOLE BUT UT FOOTBALL FIRST THEN UT BASKETBALL SECOND and then other UT SPORTS AND THEN THE USA AND THEN PRO football and those other pro sports that has sucked for the last 15 year or so .yea im saying the nba sucks.they have too many underclassmen kids trying to play against men and also they draft a lot of bigs on the hopes that they get good.but it don't work that well .the only good big guy in nba is tim Duncan and he is almost twice as old as some and then Andrew Bynum 20 million dollars to sit on bench cause his knees. and Dwight howard goes to la were everyone has success and falls like a rock from the heavens .pro athletes get way to much money samuaul delembart got paid 12.5 million to get 8 pts and 8 rebs a game a few years ago for the sixers, bill Russell never made near that much I don't even think dj jay made much more than that if he even did. sorry about the spelling and typing and most of all the ranting .been up way to long

im a heartless bast--- but if he is not coming to UT .I do not care if he makes it out of the opening in one piece. I AM Nothing like a lot of you over the last 5 years we all have hoped certain players come to UT and then when they did,nt you guys say I hope he does good were he is going and some say I will be watching them .if they do not pick the VOLS they might as well go join the Canadian football league out of high school . cause I do not wish any player the best and hope he has a good career if not at UT. If I had a brother young enough and good enough to play any where and he choice someone besides UT I would break his freaking legs not wish him well at flordia or bama or uga ,usc or Clemson. The only collage football players I give a damn about wear clad and big orange and run through a T. Harsh but but atleast im honest about it. others feel the same way just do not want to say it.

To me, the RF consists of people who copy/paste information, people who read a ton of pay information and offer speculative opinions, people who know a recruit or two, a WHOLE lot of people who think they know what they're talking about but have no idea, even more people who constantly post "want" "hope we get him he'll start as a freshmen" "best HS player ever" etc, and trolls. The first two kids of people are the only useful ones. The third set could be informational but it always turns into an e-peen contest and people over speak what they actually know, rendering what they know useless because the lines are now blurred.

I use to fall into the second (people who followed it closely and could make a pretty reasonable speculative guesstimate). Also, I use to know a decent amount of recruits in the area or could get the 411 on almost any recruit in the area (Memphis). Alas, I have gotten older, TN has gotten worse, the evolution of social media has gone to kids heads to a point that almost everything is done for attention, the RF has grown to include far too much of the last sets of people, and I just don't really consider it worth much of my time anymore to sift through that.

Every once in a while I'll throw a zinger in there or call out someone but it typically gets modded, as it probably should ha
