I like these short videos that they put together.

So we are sure he followed him after being hired and not during his recruitment?

We go over this all time but it causes confusion

Read on VQ that it was recent.

I like that. Probably doesn’t know how to tie a tie. Just like me. Most of the ties I wear were tied by a man who died over 14 years ago.

I hate to bring up a comment from last night, but I was catching up and noticed this and just feel like saying that it's really extreme to murder someone just to steal his already-tied tie.

 

[BruinVol]

He handled it as well as it could be.

Quitting on his teammates and in turn forcing a teammate to lose his redshirt while his QB and RBs got the hell beat out of them is FAR FAR FAR from handling it as well as he could.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Can someone explain why we want this Austin Thomas guy? I've looked him up and I'm still confused on what exactly he does. Is he a secret bagman or something?

Thanks. Someone on computer can confirm but it's hard for me to take the twitter follows seriously with so much disinformation

 

[WallyBalls]

Glad you pursued that. It's exactly what we need to be doing. People need to spend more time connecting dots and stop being spoon fed by people with agendas.

Odd thing was Mike Freeman (NFL writer that was actually on UTs side in the Schiano mess) did the same thing. He linked an article from last week about Hazelwood’s racists statements coming out in trial. So I pointed out the Ohio State thing...blocked within 5 minutes.

Weird.

Had the reVOLution occurred in 2012, rather than 2017, we would probably be sitting here right now with Tee Higgins, Amari Rogers, Trevor Lawrence, and Cade Mays in the fold. Instead, they are all most likely headed to Clemson. Kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

 

[LaagerVol]

Boulware Seemed different. Butch seemed to be jerking him around and he got fed up with it

I don’t blame any of the players for getting fed up with Butch. Still don’t think you should quit mid-season.

I threw up a little myself.

Heard about Pilot and Hazelwood. What is the Ohio State thing you are referring to?

Hope Pruitt brings back both Boulware and JJ. If he feels he can help the young men grow on the football field, in the classroom, and as young men we should be all for it.

These are kids and we should all want the best for them.

 

[LaagerVol]

I really felt he was truly wronged...and you never heard about it. Should have been a starting OG and could barely get snaps. It’s silly that Twitter following is significant but it indicates that Pruitt has interest in his value. No doubt starter under Friend.

The way Butch handled personnel overall is still infuriating to me.

There will be more players of their caliber from TN.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Dude....chill out.

Who said I wasn’t chill? But thanks for your advice. What would I do without it?

Really strange place to take a comment a man made about his father.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it for sure, with CLEAR upfront expectations. Good to see the reports that they’ve been going to class.

The state of Tennessee will be producing more talent like this in the future.

Another guy that is afraid to take on truth telling if it messes with his position and income stream. Several commentators took the approach that Schiano was just not a good coach worthy of the job like Sallee. It appears Freeman had an opportunity and got cold feet. Most will not come near the can of worms that is sitting there ready to be opened by somebody with courage and conviction.

We just offered another rb named Jerome ford

Hazelwood’s name is on the renovated tunnel Ohio State runs out of at the Horseshoe.

It’s not a big deal, but I just think it’s worth pointing out since UT is constantly linked to the Haslams.

You're right. I shouldn't have automatically assumed he killed someone to take their tie. My intuition was clearly off.

Grandfather actually. No offense taken to 86’s comments though.

Thanks. I meant no disrespect to you or your grandfather. I was trying to take your comment wildly out of context in an attempt to be humorous. I failed, as I do so often in life (just ask my mom).

To get in with the NFL owners club and the crowd that supports the Browns - Jimmy had to schmooze. Once he bought into the Steelers with the Rooney's he began to execute his plan. He willingly made concessions when he bought the Browns. In the state of Ohio, that is you will become one of THE Ohio State University's big supporters.

Part of my life was lived in that state, unfortunately.

Connect the dots with Hazelwood and Pilot. Jimmy had to leverage personal assets to purchase the Browns. A significantly higher earnings stream and revenues growth of Pilot gave him more perceived personal assets value, equity and income to entice the lenders to do the financing along with the NFL approving the purchase. He didn't have to hire and retain a Pilot President that was that pathetic as a person, but he did need a management team that would do whatever it took to build the income stream.
