I might be offended because maybe we can't be dickheads...are you offended about that? I might be but I might not be....

Yeah, I'm always looking for something to be offended over so I might be offended at that one, too.
 
I was going to go in on this before you tagged me, but here goes anyways.

@Ulysees E. McGill is not straight from the choir to the pulpit. My man has lived wild in every way a young idiot thinks he should live. He’s done every drug in every way, had women by the handfuls and failed at many things.

Somehow, in the midst of this, the man finds faith and turns corners many never return from. He moves to the back corners of Kentucky with serpent handlers and OxyContin running through back hollers to try to improve the lives of others.

This is not your preacher’s preacher. This is a fella who is redeemed, but rough around the edges. I’ve known many who talk a beautiful spiritual game and are shocking in their true character. These are the hypocrites people love to despise. I’m more comfortable with the broken who know they are broken, and building community in the midst of shared weakness rather than bluffed mirages of strength, because I know myself too well.

I don’t know Ulysses, but if anything, he models the authenticity people wish Christians would show, and then wag their fingers when they see it. He loses his temper, says things he knows he shouldn’t say, and I’m sure regrets those things in moments of reflection. He is not perfect, and neither I, nor he would excuse him when he is a poor reflection of the faith that he proclaims, but he is a genuine soul, and the type of person I bet would lay down on the wire for a man... even if he may cuss him a bit for tripping it to begin with.

I may be a bit better at holding my public image, but not for a second do I claim spiritual high ground. I’m content to stand with him or any of you I can call my brother or sister on level ground in humility

Goodnight folks. I’ll have to see if any of that made sense in the morning
Almost missed this. I am glad somebody quoted it. Great post. @Ulysees E. McGill , I will say again that I am glad you are very honest about your past and I know that you have helped some folks on here. Good on you.
 
So we should get ready to compete for the East this year? Better buy those tickets after all.....

We're going to be in Knoxville for BYU & UGA, & we're going to Florida. (We have tickets for 'Bama but hubs has a board meeting he can't miss so we won't be going to that game after all. We will be watching at our local sports bar!)

I'm excited - this is the first time in a really really long time that I'll be in Neyland twice in the same season!!!
 
It’s way more than 56 per year

Something is wrong with that quote but there is a limit. I’m guessing it’s between 100-125
I am hesitant but....I seem to recall Hubbs and others saying it is, in fact, 56, unless you get penalized for infractions and lose some.

I think you guys are all right here. I feel pretty sure I was wrong after reading the fine Print of the rule which says you can bank unused Visits to the following year

Yeah the only reason I don't think JJ starts is I believe with Morris at LT they'll want Ryan's experience beside him. Jahmir working exclusive on the left side though has me thinking he's basically the 2nd guy at both LT & LG in an "ideal" situation.

I just think Ryan starts somewhere, him and Tatum have the bulk of our experience. Jahmir does as well, but the way I've heard Calbert talked about it's hard to picture him not starting at RG.

I obviously don't know as much as the staff, but I'd probably have Jahmir at LG, Kennedy at C, Ryan at RG and work Calbert & Carvin in as much as possible. It's a good problem to have, cause I feel like Trey is the only absolute starter on the team but now we've got some good choices/options and people will have to earn their spot...probably week to week even.
“Experience” as in playing time? Not an appreciable advantage in that department for Ryan.
