Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[HankHill]

I always assumed you were fanatic about propane and lawn care.

And boggle.

 

[VinnieVOL]

Gotcha. I majored in logistics and transportation.

Me too. 2003 grad.

 

[Ron Swanson]

This guy did well last fall, just needed a year in the S&C program to be very good. I predict he starts all year and gets drafted.

 

[gorockytop98]

I still find it funny that in preseason camp he was too skinny for tackle, but then he wound up playing guard. Our OL was so messed up.

 

[beachmaster]

Where's MITTBEAVER when you need him?

I used to think meeting up with everyone would be a blast. Now, I'm too self conscious about the extreme weight loss.
Would rather have everyone think of me the way I used to be.
Or better yet, heal and regain... Well, everything [/QUOTE]

Here’s today’s random question. What percentage of people on Volnation actually know each other or have at least met? Would you say less than 5%? Just curious... I find it amazing how you begin thinking you know someone because you’ve posted in a forum with them for years yet have never met in person. Until recently, how many of us knew (didn’t care either way) that @HankHill was black? Lol. Or which posters are women or even the ages. I’ll admit, many of your names creates the image I think about when you post. I think of @Ulysees E. McGill as a grouchy old guy, @Ron Swanson as well, Ron Swanson and so on. Anyway, carry on.

I think of you as a talking dog.

Although, not really the case with this guy. Schools are about to start using the transfer/walk-ons as another tool to load up, as they won't be counted towards the 25 limit if done correctly. LSU just got Michael Williams to walk-on, he was a high 3-star/low 4-star with Texas. LSU is trying to get 1-2 more transfers/walk-ons and they are 4+ star type guys to pay their own way from other schools.

Good point. Surprised nobody else has thought of that.

I hope so. He just needs to cut down on the mental mistakes. Seems like he has the athleticism and attitude for it.

 

[SmokinBob]

I think we'd better be careful what we wish for. In spite of all mocking we give him, I could see him being a good oc. His control would be limited. We conveniently forget that not everything he did was bad.

I actually think he’d be a good ST coach.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I actually think he’d be a good ST coach.

If he could humble himself enough to be one, I agree.

I've never knowingly met anyone on here but it's possible I've met people and didn't know they were on here. I'm a 93 year old Chinese woman by the way. And still have my drivers license.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Then we might if you're near Douglas.

Wish I could gift you a few pounds. If there an app or that?

 

[SugarCC]

You seem to be the one acting like a jerk here. Not sure what instigated it.

If me not liking DS makes me a jerk, then I guess I'm a jerk. I don't try to be one, don't want to be one; I, honestly, just don't like the guy.

As far as instigation...I misread someone else's post, and asked about it, commenting on how it read to me, and DS had something to say about it; which, as I believe most of his posts to be, came across sounding like a prick.

Now, DS's tagline reads, "probably being facetious"; if this is how most of his posts are, then I have misunderstood, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart; because, unless I HAVE misunderstood, he comes across as an arrogant, pompous as*hole, who enjoys calling out people's simple mistakes, or their shortcomings. So, if I'm a jerk, what is that?

I’ve wondered that myself, and how many of us would actually get along in face to face interactions.

 

[Sleegro]

I literally pictured Hank Hill as a white dude with a beer gut in his 50s, mind blown

Its funny cause I thought he was a young black guy. Especially after the great Jordan lebron debate of 2018.

I would get along with everyone. But everyone wouldn't get along with me. Hahaha

 

[ChismsHeadband]

I tolerate most/all of you. I don't think I've blocked anyone here. I like a handful or two of you.

Would I want to actually meet up and hang out? Mmmnnnnnnooooo........

 

[COOKEVOL]

I’m 42. Attended UT from 95-99. I was at the FLA game in 98 as well as the Stoerner fumble. Cold and nasty that day, but perhaps the best game I got see while there.

Arkansas 98 was my first ever game at Neyland. Miserable weather.

Got in a drunk fight the night before and my head and knuckles ached through the whole game. Good times.

I had an older sister, we had one TV. I reject thy shade, Brillo.

There are always choices.

Reminds me of Seinfeld and Melrose Place.

That's fine and all but he didn't seem to be trying to insult you when he pointed out that you misread the post. Just trying to help you out. But obviously you 2 have some weird message board history or something so I'll stay out of it.

I've never knowingly met anyone on here but it's possible I've met people and didn't know they were on here. I'm a 93 year old Chinese woman by the way. And still have my drivers license.

I still remember last August; that was a special night.
