Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[JacketVol]

OMG your comment triggered one of my most embarrassing life moments.
Took my6 year old nephew to his first game a few years back at Neyland.
Also his first time peeing in a trough.
I told him to keep his eyes on his own business.
But he glanced to his right and screams out: “Jesus look at THAT thing”.
I was horrified and said I’m sorry and physically carried my nephew out of the restroom.
He asked me if I was mad at him and I said no but you don’t talk about other people’s pee pees. He then wanted to know if all black ones were that big. Thankfully, we were back at our seats and he was with his Mother. Kids, damn.

That got me rolling.

I don't think the author understands the term meritocracy

It's a buzzword, and a divisive one at that.

I think the author has a valid overall point-- that it's simply easier for wealthier families to (hark!) spend more time, money, resources on having their kid play sports.. Poorer families have bills and groceries to prioritize over cost of equipment, cost of travelling, time spent away from work and whatnot.

But I think tying it to a college education to make that point is not well thought out.. There are plenty of poor people who have some higher education, whether it's a bachelor's or an associates degree. The overarching problem is that jobs outside of STEM generally don't pay well enough for a whole lot of extracurriculars. That's not news.

Overall, I'd grade this article out as ..Meh

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Who's ready? WHO's READY for FOOTBALL??!!!??

WHOOOOOOOO! John Henderson is ready!

I know that trainer is getting paid, and JH gave him the go-ahead.. But wow you still have to have some big brass balls to slap a man that size in the face.

 

[HankHill]

I think it'll be shrout as the 2 all season.

Agree

 

[Kingston Vol]

I think it'll be shrout as the 2 all season.

I’m very eager to see him get some actual game time.

Save Maurer for the end of the year if at all possible.

But it's messing up the language badly to call it meritocracy. It would have been all right if he'd called elitism. I think the article was extremely confused on several points. Just very poorly written.

Poor guy. JJ broke his ankles so bad he can’t run anymore. Word is he still hasn’t completed his 40 time from the combine. #stillrunning #slowasmolasses

Teez nuts.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Despite having a bad 10-ish year stretch, this time every year I'm ready for football like...

Then we lay a dud in the first few games, but I'm still like...

Then October hits with reality and I'm...

Then by the end of the season I'm...

Then recruiting hits, which gives me hope and I'm...

But this year feels different, which has confident like...

Because I know this is about to become reality again...

And eventually this...

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Very well put together

 

[VOLuptuousBOOMS]

Hope she is from Knoxville, her parents are from Knoxville, her dog is from Knoxville, she never wants to leave Knoville, she went to UT and she is in love.....

She’s from GA and went to Alabama. So....

Absolutely no way she ever leaves Knoxville.

[engineerVOL]

Love seeing all the orange being worn today!

 

[Devo182]

Is that a man, woman, non-hex, octal? KNS is the worst.

Pathetic. Who cares? Human being, isn't that enough for you, judge?

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Looking for two tickets to tomorrow’s game at a reasonable price.

 

[Sleegro]

Would be a smart move. I know they get 4 games to keep the redshirt, but you have to balance that against wasting one of those if a game is lost by injury with either JG or Shrout in the later games. Would be nice if an emergency occurs for Maurer to be able to help with squandering eligibility unnecessarily.

I agree but if it were up to me, and honestly I think they will do this, I would use tomorrow to get both some game time and really see who is ready and give them a taste of what they need to work on to be ready. Then maybe try to save the other 3 games for the end of the season.

 

[Devo182]

My man said beta male.. lmaooooooo

I swear I never heard the concept of beta applied to humans 5 or 10 years ago and now adays every other person uses this term...like wtf are people reading on the internet? Gorilla social hierarchies? And wtf is with this "cuck" business? Internet done gone and made everyone weird...
