[Atlanta VOL]

Dayum.

Dont do it anymore since I got hurt down there. Very Very dangerous job. After I got hurt my friend was doing a job and the pipeline transfer, it blew up and some people died. He said if i had not gotten hurt, i would have probably been on deck or in the water. Only 3 boats with that small company. It is why I really believe everything happens for a reason.

Glad you were not there, for sure.

 

[drvenner]

That is awesome! To everyone who has complained about this, grow up!

 

[drvenner]

Lol it almost looks like the ref is doing it, too.

 

[drvenner]

Want Want Want Want Want Want Want Want Want

What has he done to show he can help us? This is an honest question.

Its not about what he has done, its I think he has the potential to be a stud

Does that say something about you or him? Kidding

VolQuest doesn’t have anything to do with the rankings.

It's a Rivals site. He generates income for them. He has to have some influence.

If our staff thinks he can help, I'm all in.

Probably getting ready to T them up so he could get gators back in the game. Then realized the game was over

 

[InVOLuntary]

This is where having a women's AD was useful. We have a big enough reach to where it shouldn't be difficult at all for us to identify the best coaches/candidates and women's bball is so peppered with Pat's and the LV's influence that damn near all of them are going to have some sort of connection to us. If anything, we may have an overwhelming number of choices. Outside of Geno, I don't think there's a coach of the women's game out there that wouldn't jump at the chance to come to UT. We do have to pay them what they're worth tho.

Yea, I don't think they will.

The same could be said for the other schools complaining about the rankings of their recruits

 

[BruinVol]

That's a shame. That game shouldn't be played in conditions that effect the outcome

Titans went there 2 years ago and handled their biz in -5 degree weather

I suspect they think that anyone can recruit to Tennessee so they'll look for a coach that appears to be a good X's and O's coach at a smaller program. Probably end up paying just shy of a $1mil. If it doesn't work out do it again in 3-4 years. They seem to think that is a winning formula. Meanwhile we get further and further away from being what Pat had it built to and we'll become another LA Tech or Old Dominion. Remember when La Tech and Old Dominion were power house women's programs? Most don't. Who knows though? They might catch lightening in a bottle. The longer it goes though, the less desirable the job becomes.

I choose to believe Fulmer in his Doug Mathews interview. He said he wanted ALL programs to be great and would do whatever it takes. Whatever it took in football led to Chaney getting paid.

You're a communist, dude. Some of the best games of all time have been in inclement weather.

Oh please. Its football, man.

I hope so. I'll believe we spend $2mil on a women's basketball coach when they trot them out to the podium. No Fulmer may think the best thing to make the Lady Vols great again is to hire an up and comer. We'll see. I know he doesn't want to fire Holly but he's going to have to if he wants to compete for championships again. She's never gonna get it done. Doubt we get to sweet 16 again with her at the helm.

I love games in bad weather but for this game I'd prefer it be played where the offenses are showcased.

Besides why are Super Bowls all played in warm weather places or domes? Is that communist?

Let me know how i can help

This is why I'll always have your back against any negative word spoken towards you.

With that said, your thoughts/prayers is all ask. I've never accepted a dime that I didn't earn and will do everything I can to maintain that.

I haven't done any sort of fund me thing but if my kids ever start to do without necessities again, that may change. I've sold every extra I own to cover expenses - including a classic car body that I was restoring with my 12 yr old son (his dream), to provide them essentials at Christmas. Not much pride left, now.

I will ask @Freak to exchange our Emails, with your permission. If my son and my 8 yr old daughter ever are in true need again, I will attempt some kind of "Go fund me" at that point.

But the offer is beyond appreciated and this board and it's members have meant the world to me through this ordeal.
Can't thank you guys enough.

 

[BruinVol]

Oh please. Its football, man.

Let's start a campaign for the super bowl to be played at lambaugh field. Maybe soldier field the next year since it's football.

This.

Plus Fulmer knows what the LV’s mean to the AD and University in general.

They’re still the flagship program for women’s athletics. And they’re still capable of plowing revenues and profits into the AD.
