Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[SugarCC]

Guys and gals I could use your thoughts and prayers tonight. My Mom is at UT hospital and they've found a spot on her brain. It could be anything from a lesion to a calcium deposit but they're keeping her over night so she can get an MRI. Please send whatever good thoughts or prayers you have her way. She's the reason I'm a huge UT fan.

Done.

Hometown buddy just invited me to a Vegas trip. He just got married, as did I. Other 3 are wild singles clearly going for the "vegas experience". On one hand it may be my last shot of a guys' trip to Vegas (we are mid 30s). On the flipside, could be slightly...dangerous. I 99% trust myself and wife would know SCs are in play, nothing unusual and nothing more. But the single guys may mean a little trouble. I'm a bit torn. It's probably nothing wilder than an average bachelor's party, on the flipside I know Vegas can be intoxicating.

Younger guys, older wiser men - WWYD?

I wouldn’t go. Not a chance.

 

[SugarCC]

Praying for her brother. I'm in a similar spot as they recently found a spot on my grandmother's lung. Hopefully its nothing for either of them.

Thoughts and prayers for your grandma as well, Bass.

You can go but keep your wits about you. Be an instigator and throw ideas out for the single guys to do stupid **** for your personal entertainment.

 

[RikidyBones]

Probably thought Dennis Miller and Witten were good as well.....

Haha no. Bill Walton is out of this world and I enjoy it

 

[peaygolf]

Haha no. Bill Walton is out of this world and I enjoy it

I respect your choice...............Whatever he's "smoking" must be stout!

As a married man you should be passed this time in your life. Respect your wife dont risk putting your marriage on a bad foundation.

I skimmed an ESPN article, and they say it makes sense. They gave up very little for him, they had plenty of cap space, and he will help with the test to see if Carr is the QB of the future.

To each their own but I’m not paying a 31 year old WR 19mil a year for the next 3 years. Especially when i already have an average QB on a giant deal.

Stick to the craps tables and the sports book and you will be just fine.

I'm 27 and Vegas isn't worth going to unless its work/March Madness. Went a good amount from 21-24 Mid 30s? Hard pass.

“I know as a recruit that I saw what he did with quarterbacks,” Guarantano admitted. “I think being able have him run the show, he’s been able to do it alot of different ways. I think he’s going to find a way for us to be effective.”

Ironically, Guarantano said there’s not a lot of difference in Chaney’s offense conceptually to what the Vols did last season. This from an offense that averaged just under 22 points a game and less than 200 yards passing a game.

That might not be the most exciting answer for fans to hear, but while the concepts might be the same, the execution of those concepts, according to Guarantano, are different.

“There’s a lot more answers,” Guarantano said. “There’s a lot more control for the quarterback. Of course I like that. I think it’s very effective.”

“There are a lot of hot reads. I can control the protections. I’m very excited for that. It’s just a matter of me being a master of the offense now.”

For Tennessee’s offense to be better in 2019, Guarantano must get the ball out of his hands quicker which has been a focus since Chaney arrived. The offensive line must keep Guarantano more up right and Chaney’s offense must have more answers to the issues that defensive schemes present. Guarantano believes he will have more answers in his tool box, it’s just about matter of him learning them.

“There are more hot throws and different coverage beaters. Some of the answers are being able to pick a side and stay to a side. Different things like that.

“I like that I get alot more control.

“I have to take it slow and get to know coach Chaney and coach Weinke. I have been around alot of different football and so in my fourth year it’s alot easier for me to pick up.”

I know Cooper isn't better than Brown but he's cheaper and younger. Head scratcher.

Praying for you. Is this the procedure?

I know Cooper isn't better than Brown but he's cheaper and younger. Head scratcher.

It was his contract year too so he will probably be looking at upwards of 12 million.

Don't do it. I see 2 issues immediately.
1. You said you 99% trust yourself. That 1% that is missing is a problem, not only for you, but for your wife and your marriage. It's not worth the risk.
2. There will be times in your marriage when disagreements and arguments occur. That is when any uncertainties or doubts will surface. I can assure you that, if you go on this trip, your wife will have some uncertainties and doubts about everything that occurred, and you will hear about it for the remainder of your marriage. It's not worth it. Keep everything honest and open from the beginning, leave no room for doubts, and your marriage will be better for it. I can say from experience, I'm 48, and in my 3rd marriage. I learned alot from the first two, and am applying those lessons now. So far, so good. We will be celebrating our 5th anniversary in a few months.

Nah, that's April 3rd.
This is an emergency episode, for lack of a better term. Several day stay.

GO! Have fun, be careful, and don't take any pictures. You'll be fine, what could possibly go wrong?
