Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXII

[Kristy*]

My 17 year old just got hers a couple weeks ago. I was thinking a couple hundred bucks. Yeah.... I guess I was still in 1992 because I was way off.

That's insane. I'll tell my daughter to start saving now.

Does anyone else think Tony is like a machine. Like an AI with no ability to read human emotion

Machines are a lot more efficient and a lot less emotionally fragile.

I got off cheap at twice that. Some of the dresses the looked at were $700-800 or more. Doesn't include shoes or accessories of course.

It's cheap compared to the numbers we're looking at for college next year.

Rick Barnes at Tennessee 30-31.
Shaka Smart at Texas 30-30.

Alright guys I'm getting scared... My daughter is only 1 and she's already figuring out how to sweeten up daddy to get what she wants... It was ice cream this time

It's only going to get easier for her. You may complain about it, but you will love it, anyway.

Isn't Texas like 10-18 this year? Year two. I wonder how restless the natives are already.

They learn quick

It's instinctual for females.

I have three of them things in addition to my wife. I can assure you...

Same. I swim in an ocean of estrogen on a daily basis...manipulative, gorgeous little sweet brats that I love to spoil.

I thought Smart was one of the best coaches out there. Really surprised he's done so poorly.

Last year was decent, this year has been bad. They should be good next year tho.

You hear the "standards" guys on here? Lightweights compared to the entitled Longhorn lot. hmy:

Yeah, but college as an investment towards future compared to a dance. I don't remember paying more than 100 for my prom dress (which was gorgeous BTW). And my prom wasn't THAT long ago.

Look at you channeling your nemesis Catbone with that comment. :nono:

Kristy* prom picture IMO.

He's in a much tougher league too. Surprised they are this bad but he's in the Big 12.

It was the cutest thing she's done yet

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Wait until she's 18 looking for a prom dress like mine was today.

My buddies 14 yo daughter was looking at prom dresses the other day!! I told him he was crazy for allowing that!
My daughter is getting married this summer, at the ripe old age of 21, ha, told her she was crazy too. She's an old soul tho, and what she wants.

Making a case for dumping a coach for the hot new thing? :huh:

My mistake. Thought you were saying that Barnes is doing no better than Smart. Insult retracted.

Though, I would have gone with trajectory. Barnes took over a .500 team and is trending up, while Smart took over a .700 team and now has them well below .500.

Kristy* prom picture IMO.

Sorry. Wasn't your prom date. Nice try though.

It was sweet of Kristy to take Catbone to prom. Did you think the frog costume would throw us off Cat? :acute:

 

[Glitch]

I went ahead and pulled the Max Wray thread out of the ignore bin. Didn't think we had a shot but I walt underestimate our new OL coach.

 

[Vols4us]

Texas pulled the Tennessee thing (football) in replacing a likely HOF coach with a perceived best and brightest. In their case at least Smart may not have a "dream" job to run to before he has a chance to turn the ship around.

Give me CRB any day. I see a style of play and player development that leads to being in the tourney every year. There are 3-4 true freshmen that would get serious minutes for most any team. Williams, Bone, Bowden and Fulk are the nucleus for something really special in the future. Add in the two bigs on their way and Jalen coming out of his RS year to replace Hubbs as a scorer. IMO this team would have already been over the hump for the dance had Fulk stayed healthy. There were several losses that his style of play could have changed the result. Bullish on the basketball Vols.
