Looper. The Brothers Bloom. Brick. These are Rian Johnson films and all are far better than Star Wars "how much merch can we sale" films.

No way you can put TLJ on the director lol

I'd rank "fault" in this order

Editor
Writers
SFX
Cast/Director

I've seen a fan made "re-cut" of TLJ and it made it a lot better, unfortunately the writing was still weak so it couldn't save the film.

I am really glad I clicked that linked. Some really earth-shaking points being made there.

Haha I didn't even bother clicking it. I figured it was just the same points the poster tries to make every day. We get it. You won't believe it until you see it on Saturday. Great. Tell me again but rearrange the words.

Jimmy on 104.5 this morning

“DL not going to be very good no matter who plays. Solomon 2nd best lineman behind Gooden. LBs aren’t good. Teams will run on Tennessee. That’s why I’m not as high on this team.”

Also Jimmy: "Hearing Jeff Brohm is a done deal....My sources tell me Doreen will be the next HC at UT"


Jimmy is a joke, but it's easy to be the "highest rated" station when you're the only game in town. At least the Sports Animal has some great guest, Dr. Punch, McClain, the coaches (love hearing Tony V talk ball especially). And I like John a good bit.

Seems like to me we got actual ball coaches for every main sport now and Jimmy is sad.

Jimmy is a blatant **********. He’s salty because 1) nobody likes him or values his input 2) his hot takes are the equivalent of hot **** 3) linebackers should be better than last year definitely more athletic. 4) Pruitt doesn’t give him or the media any chin music or inside access to keep his pitiful shtick going anymore. Probably still staring at his Jeff Brohm poster standing in his bedroom pulling pieces off here and there like the cutout of the owner from Major League.

This is pretty wild.

I almost posted a rant on here yesterday after needing approval from three administrators with six figure salaries to simply spend $45 promoting an Instagram post on our departmental account.

Administrative bloat in universities is just insane now.

They're not journalists; they're click artists. They're trying to get more eyeballs on ads so they can make more money-- and most write and say whatever they think will do that.

And then they wonder why coaches don't want to talk to them and resent their restricted access to the team.

If an actual talented and insightful radio personality ever started a sports talk show that wasn’t affiliated with the vol network it would absolutely blow up in Knoxville.

The fox sports clowns basically proved that and they don’t even have media credentials or an understanding of football.

@ChattaTNVol and @Bassmaster_Vol - Fire it up. Give the people what they want.

FACT!

He's spent the last I don't know, 8 or so months talking about how Solomon was our best lineman, how we HAD to have him eligible. Now Gooden is out for the season and he's our best lineman? WTH

DL is a different beast than OL. The OL you need size, strength, talent AND experience to usually be successful. DL you can usually make waves if you've got 2 of those things checked off, and we IMO have 3 of them checked off. We lost experience, but size & strength aren't a problem and I believe there's a lot of talent.

Rocker isn't the type of coach to really reveal his cards either, he lets the media write their own story and just doesn't seem to give any F***s about what they think.

Did he glean this from standing so close to Rocker that he could see if he had any cavities?

He’s just saying pump the brakes until we have some hard evidence.

Seeing is believing, and until I see it on Saturdays this fall, I’m pumping the brakes on the hype.

We know. However, what else is preseason for besides avoiding injuries? Do you not want to hear who is performing well in practice? I am sure a lot of it is coachspeak, but so what?

Dear Chatt,

I see that, for some time now, your lengthy and inexplicably well received posts have contained positive content. This pattern of behavior has me desperately concerned that you have lost touch with “reality.” An oft employed strategy to combat this condition is to point out mostly negatives. Actually, only negatives, and be sure to admonish others that might be suffering from your condition. And remember, repetition is the key.

Sincerely,
The Realist

P.S.: 5-7

Thanks, Sir, for always keeping it real.
