It's just so odd to me that some keep changing their minds. With Pruitt knowing he has to see a number of guys leave to make the 85 work I would have thought he'd be happy to see a few hit the portal

Yeah IIRC Pruitt said last year a lot of guys were not buying in and doing things the right way. They ALL need to go. We need a complete culture change from the Butch era. I think we are on the right track now. Just need about 4 straight top 10 classes.

I don't disagree especially offensively.

As long as the difference in his D and Dansbys is minimal I am fine with that move in the furtire as I think Dasby is never going to hit

I have never ben sold on his hitting and he makes definsive mistakes on the easy plays. Tries to hotdog too many times. Just make the plays!!

There is one story I really want to know in the last 5 years and that's the story of Admrial Schofield when he was suspended for an extended time.

The ending we are now living should make all of us, including myself, slow to push these kids out the door if they aren't all
In. They do change many times

Hopefully Pruitt will be the football version of Barnes. The guys play their hearts out for Rick

Based on what? The only dot that is available is that his best relationship on the staff at USCw was Tee Martin. Nobody has put any other actual info out there. So do we know where he is thinking about going? No. It's not like people are up in here trying to play 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Tee was fired 3 weeks before he signed, over a month before he publicly announced. IF Tee was that big of an influence why would he have signed to begin with and enrolled?

This is more likely tied to Kliff Kingsbury being out the week after he announced at the All American game if you want to connect dots.

We were ready for him to live up to the hype not be gone

A big group of folks wanted him gone. To be honest I thought he was a cancer and wasn't sure if his talent was worth the risk of him staying. Trust me a large group of posters wanted him gone


I am speaking about VN as a whole not that posters specifically in the RF

Anyone ever dealt with Terminix? They didn’t call to confirm the appointment, and didn’t show up today. Then customer service tells me they rescheduled it to another day that I’m working without talking to me about it. Also, they wouldn’t adjust the price, which means my time is worth exactly zero dollars to them. Bad bad bad. Sorry for the rant.

We've used Dayton's for a couple of years. Great guys. Respectful and affordable. It was the constant ads on 99.1 that got me.

Most kids trying to go viral don't care if it's "cool"

Having butt sex with a monkey could go "viral" but at some point you have to have a little bit of self-respect while realizing that nothing on the internet can ever be undone. Their grandkids will still be laughing at that 30 years from now. It's like watching two midgets fight

I was fortunate to see all these guys. Widby might be the greatest athlete ever at UT. He was a very good baseball player, scratch golfer, and punted for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL for many years. He also played basketball in the old ABA - sometimes on the night before a football game.

I would take Boerwinkle off this list though. His main talent was being tall.

Grant Williams is very similar to Grunfeld. Grunfeld was a stocky guy who could work for a shot against anybody. I hope Grant stays another year but would be surprised if he did.

I remember Boerwinkle as a good passer.

How hard a team plays for a coach is usually a good indication of what kind of coach you have. When CBJ was first hired, the team played hard for him but you could tell after a couple seasons that the players did not give full effort much of the time. I can't say I blame them.

Never really a huge follower of baseball but I have been to (the old) Yankee Stadium, Turner Field, and Busch Stadium.

I spent a week in St. Louis in the middle of the summer. I've never been to a better sports city. They eat, breath, and sleep Cards baseball. Because of that, I root for the Cards.

Conversely, Atlanta is probably the worst sports city I've been to...just a lot of apathetic fans, it seems.
