Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[highspeed]

The Eric Gray buzz is as loud as I’ve ever seen for a first year player

Fred Weary buzz was strong. I remember reading about how he was unblockable as a true freshman DT.

 

[SweetasSoda]

He’s the only one comparable in recent memory. And even some of his buzz with limited because we though Da’Rick and Hunter would overshadow him and there was some talk he couldn’t get on the field because he couldn’t learn the playbook.

Not worried about this one learning the playbook.

Sucks it’s at RB. Wish it was a Qb, OT, or DE

We need offense and an RB that is special can definitely provide it, especially if we have Smith opening holes for him.

Finding a negative in a piece of good news. Hahaha

You really have to work hard to come up with that after hearing you got another AK to use in Chaney's offense this time.

 

[chargervol]

Finding a negative in a piece of good news. Hahaha

Until we get the line in order, a back described as "untouchable" could be absolutely huge in finally opening up our offense.

Heard good things about MorpheusTV as well. If you ever need a VPN, I like NordVPN. It's cheap, they don't keep any logs, and you can pay with bitcoin as well.

I run my own OpenVPN (free tier) on AWS (I don't keep logs either). I only pay for bandwidth (usually <$20/month), but I currently don't use it anymore since I don't download anything just stream. I will use it again if I start getting DCMA notices from my ISP.

Plus, he's a fantastic pass catcher. Put both him and Chandler out there on a few plays and let the defense pick their poison.

If he is being praised at any position, I would think that "sucks" would not be part of my opinion about it.

I kept reading this post in this guy's voice lol...

I cannot like this enough. Legit laugh out loud

Good morning. I want to go ahead and apologize for this being long. I am a longtime lurker and very small poster. When I do post it's usually in the ticket forum. I am reaching out today to ask anyone who prays and believes to say a prayer for me today as I finally am going to see a neurologist tomorrow. Since March I have been having episodes of dizziness, equilibrium off, neck pain, fogginess, ringing in ears, you name it and I've probably experienced it. I have been to my normal doctor plenty of times and a ENT doctor plenty of times and everytime they say it's nothing and it will just go away. Well 5 months later and it's not. I've had an MRI of the brain and a CT scan and both came back negative. I really just feel like I am worrying myself sick because of my wife and 4 kids ranging from 14-4. I know the power of volnation has come together to pray for people who are sick. Please just keep me in your prayers and hopefully I can come back tomorrow with some actually news and hopefully it's good. Thank you and Go Vols.

Prayers, bro. Hope you get some good news.

this is my exact same story 4 years ago. I had a concussion, and it wasn't properly diagnosed. Went on for months. I finally went to an upper cervical doctor (a chiropractor who focuses on the neck verterbrea, specifically, the atlas). It changed my life. I had my first adjustment one evening, and I was pretty much back to normal the next day! I'm in north georgia and can recommend my doctor if you're in the area.

prayers too.

Apparently Dale Jr’s plane went down in Bristol. Everyone is safe, apparently, but the pics are wild.

I don’t think he meant to be negative. We can all agree we would rather hear glowing reviews about our OL or DL.

It would be super cool if we lucked into a Saquan Barkley type player of our own.

Amazing they’re okay.

I want to private punch that dude.

...but I did laugh.


Dickhead.

Dude has some crazy misfortune. Luckily he always comes out of things alright.

Well.

It’s the truth.

Sounds like the plane skid off the runway, they got out, then it caught fire.

A couple Biscuits with butter, Scrambled Eggs and cheese, and a few strips of Bacon. - My Breakfast/lunch with a Bloody Mary.

Snacking on tortilla chips and salsa with 2 or 3 beers

Dinner: Rib Eye steak covered in butter, grilled asparagus, Grilled Corn with an homemade Old Fashioned drink.

My ideal gameday food. Probably adds up to around 3000 calories.

Haha. Initially thought you were outlining your current diet. Thinking game days with you must be epic. The above does sound like a very nice game day menu.

He'll have to count his blessings. His dad died, he was in that fiery sports car accident, bunch of concussions and now this. Crazy.

Xfinity local channels package plus internet plus Sling runs me $89.

Old Netflix account so paying $7.99

Considering dumping Sling and Xfinity local channels and going with YouTube TV

Will dump Netflix and pay the extra $5.00 once the Disney+ service drops.

Going to keep in around $100 as best I can.

Now, anyone who can help me navigate cell phone bills, I'm all ears. Contract is up with Verizon and believe I can cut my bill in half, but don't know which providers stink as I've been with Verizon for almost 20 years.

Sprint and TMo are focused on urban areas. Verizon still probably has the broadest network, but AT&T is right on their tail. If you’re urban, sprint/tmo likely has better pricing. If you’re not urban, I would look to the other two carriers. And even if you are urban but travel a lot, I would go with VZ or ATT. If sprint tmo merger is approved, I expect they will double down in urban areas and make a 5G push as opposed to improving in suburban/rural areas.

I never had much of an opinion on Jr. other than thinking he had it rough by losing his dad in such a public way, but that he was also a little spoiled and the beneficiary of nepotism in the NASCAR world. Listening to him on the Joe Rogan podcast completely changed my view of him. Apparently Sr. almost never even talked to him about racing and didn't really give him much of a leg up (outside of what he would automatically get with the last name Earnhardt), and their relationship was strained until Jr. started winning races and making a name for himself. And then right around the time they were becoming close, the Daytona crash happened.
