Xavier is usually a bracket buster in most tournaments.

You have no sense of humor. Knocked Up, Superbad. Pineapple Express, 40 Year Old Virgin? None of those are funny. Majority rules

Carell made 40 year old Virgin. Those others were lame. Rogen just says and does stupid things, yells a lot, and clutches with all his might to crude and physical humor because he doesn't have anything actually funny in him. He sets up the most absurd and ridiculous situations to distract people from his absence of cleverness.

So what kind of comedy is acceptable to you?

The Office was incredible. Also Seinfeld and The Simpsons.

Hubbs - "Guarantano has made some plays with his legs as expected including one on Thursday that went for over 40 yards."

Saturday visitors: Visitors this weekend for Saturday's practice:

Cade Mays
Cooper Mays
Bryn Tucker
Ollie Lane
Four-star safety Trey Dean (Dutchtown, Ga.)
Three-star corner Telly Plummer from Langston Hughes High, Ga. (Plummer holds close to 20 offers, but not one from Tennessee yet)

He's never said a single funny thing ever, yet is celebrated as a comedic genius. Same with Stephen A, rarely says anything intelligent, yet is celebrated as a prominent sports commentator. There are probably some better examples, but I was forced to endure one of his many horrible movies recently so he's fresh on my mind.

The fact that you think people celebrate Rogan as a comedic genius is a joke...right?

It hasn't transformed to a 60-40% (atleast) passing offense so not many people use it today. However, it started some great plays that are run from that offense... Plays that are in every playbook in college football and plays that Tennessee runs quite often... The Veer, the midline, cut blocking was originated from this offense... (Don't quote me on the last one)... That offense is far from a gimmick....

Also, (seriously not trying to sound mean) look up past offensive systems and you can see a clear picture of how we got to where we are and how much "old stuff" that is still in use today.

I don't think you're being mean at all. I do agree it has been around and elements of it are in many offenses. Maybe gimmicky is not the right word. It is not prominently used as a main set and it is difficult to prepare for. I do appreciate your insight. You clearly know what you're talking about.

I am sure that you can find some way to console her

I am feeling pretty good about our defense. I know we lost some key pieces, but I really think Shoop is going to scheme like a madman this year and we have players who can step in. DE is a little concern to me, but I think we are solid in the secondary and at LB. I really like moving back to a 4-3, if that is truly what we are doing.

His footwork is impressive

It's DT for me. Can Piccou/Johnson contribute? Will Kmac/Tuttle be healthy? Will the young guys be Ready if needed?

 

[RikidyBones]

He and Seth Rogen have become millionaires off of some asinine cultural shift that celebrates people whose only contributions to their industries are being absurd and ridiculous. It's truly the worst thing Millennials have done to our fellow humans.

Seth Rogen 😂😂

don't hold back jave

 

[Ron Swanson]

In terms of individuals on the field, it's safe to say one of the early promising developments has been at defensive tackle. Now, there's not pads on so that's a huge caution flag, but getting Kahlil McKenzie a lot of early work as he recovers from the torn pectoral has been good. McKenzie physically looks as fit as he has since he's been here.

The fact that Shy Tuttle was seen this week doing some on the field rehab work is a huge development and then there is Alexis Johnson. The JUCO transfer has gotten off to a really solid start this week according to everyone we have spoken with. He is still working to get in better shape but clearly has shown more than just flashes. He has been very active. If that trio can be a factor early for this team this fall then that's a significant development for this team.

Elsewhere on the defensive side, both Marquill Osborne and Daniel Bituli have made some plays and been very active this week. Jonathan Kongbo looks like he is ready to assume a larger role.

It's gimmicky because the whole purpose of their offensive schemes are to deceive. Also, all defenses to face them have to specially prepare for their offense, which they aren't used to seeing.

I am gonna refrain from poo-pooing all over Hubbs defensive tackle hype for now.

Not talking about me. I've barely been on here lately.

Doesn't mean you were forgotten.
However, it was likely the breaker boy. Did not want anyone to think that was about you

So you are lumping Smith and Seth Rogen together? Not only is this probably the first time in history this has happened it makes zero sense. Seth Rogen is a very successful writer, actor and producer and has contributed hours and hours of enjoyment, art and intelligence to our lives.

You need to do some research, start at imdb.com

I've got no issues with Breakerboy. He's just passionate about UT football...and has a couple of reasons to be more so right now, I gather. He and I don't always agree with each other, but we actually do quite often.

For what it's worth...I'm probably a bigger ass than Breaker.

Appreciate you having my back though. :hi:

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

My bad, Breakerboy definitely not Baldbiker. The biker was one of the first to welcome me on here. Probably shouldn't have said anything about the other either, I have rectified the situation, opting for the ignore button..

I knew...didn't want anyone else to get the wrong idea.
I agree with you btw
