Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[UTSuave’]

Jauan is our last hope we have to lite a fire under these younger guys ass and I think that’s the issue.these kids coming in here now,only know what this university is Today we haven’t been winning for a while and definitely Not what it used to be.They just have no clue what they are going out there to play for.

For years these kids have been given a easy ride at our expense Free food,Education,Clothing Apparel and travel,that’s not even including what’s given to them when they decide to make a
“Bowl Appearance”.

This generation and the kids coming in have a lot of attitude and guidance problems.thats why I think this is a emergency call to have all Alumni (Former players) (VFL’s) surround these kids and show them the way.when old folks walk into a room the younger generation listens.i personally think they all need a Albert Haynesworth,John Henderson,Big Al Wilson ass bustin and then send em up to the “Preacher” Reggie White and have him cleanse them out back.Ive had enough.im tired of losing.this is the way.surround these boys with the greats and dare em to question them on how to play the damn game.

There are things above and beyond condoning violence, like the nuance of the violent game of football.. It's not for pu$$ies.. Some men need to be lead, and if you read Football As a War Game and General Neyland's thoughts on it you'd get my meaning
Sometimes the fear of the alternative is the motivator in a patriarchal situation
Football is somewhat like that
I always thought I was the hardest trying, effort givingest SOB in all the world, until I met this fellow Greg in the fraternity. WE were second best at volleyball, ping pong, pool, u name it. But you double us up and we could beat the two best players every time
That Sob would dive on concrete to save a spike when a point wasnt even on the line
I never thought I could try harder than I already had til I saw someone who gave ALL

We wouldnt even play with no scrub ass folks who just played for fun
We were serious about it. If you gon do it, do it right or dont do it at all
So yeah if I see you half assing anything we endevour to do together, you're gon have to whoop my ass that day or I'm whoopin yours

This reminds of something that happened while I was in my late twenties. I hadn't been home from the Marine Corps very long when an old school buddy talked me into joining a volley ball league at a recreation center. After three nights, they kicked me out. They said I played too hard. I have always believed in approaching everything I do with full bore enthusiasm and if that is objectionable to some, then so be it.

We're living in a time where the indolent and undisciplined are coddled and defended by mother hen types and it's turning boys into fragile prima donnas. Some are excusing Jordan Murphy's disloyal actions because he had a rough childhood, Hell, so did I! I suppose adversity affects people in different ways.

I see 45 players worth keeping.

Let’s hang on to JJ, Trey, Nigel, Bituli, Cimaglia, Calloway, and Chandler (but make him carry the ball to class) at least.

 

[RikidyBones]

There will be 1-2 more “transfers” before the Chattanooga game if not sooner.

tweet from rusty penland, never heard of her either

That's Notorious, you old geezer.

Somebody find me a JJ pic for my Avi

 

[RSATURDAY]

He never looked bought in there

Lol At his alma mater?

 

[rocktopper16]

Vol Twitter is a gaggle of pure idiots.

If they put that much effort into something productive they’d feel a helluva a lot better but no, let’s sound off on a kid who didn’t directly mean that towards the fans.

How defiant has he been about talking to the media? Seems strange.

would have walked in there and played with you just to piss them off
what they hated was the try they saw in you that they didnt see in themselves

 

[RikidyBones]

not an awful comment. but still.....you're poking the bear for no good reason at this point.

i can already see the inevitable "win a game and you won't have to worry about it" comments coming.

Fans who tweet players look 100000x worse than players who tweet dumb things

These kids don’t care about your opinions, losers.

lol. nailed it?

sometimes i hate being right all the time.

Yeah but fans tweeting players who tweet something stupid arent the ones directly affected. I agree they look worse but the harshest consequence is laid upon the player on multiple levels. It's not worth trying to lash out at fans in any sport.

Going back and forth with kids of a University they support is crazy. That looks bad to recruits as well. Why has not CJP implemented a rule to stay off of SM until after the season.

The guy Shawnberger tweeted ats age is probably less than the number of numbers in his Twitter handle.

 

[Weezer]

so the world owes him something because he’s had a rough childhood? I don’t think so. Life is tough and how you respond to those things shows character. Acting like an immature brat who doesn’t care about his team, his program, or what he’s been blessed with by being on scholarship at UT isn’t going to earn any sympathy from me. And it shouldn’t from anyone else. He’s got a lot to learn and truthfully maybe the best thing that ever happens to him was being kicked off the team. Time will tell.

I guess you never screwed up when you were young? The young man did something stupid. He's paying for it in a big way. Not sure where anyone on this board gets off judging the young man. Hell, everyone on this board bitches about players quitting in the game, but one loss, and how many on here have lost their minds and started bitching about quitting on this coach and this program themselves? Jordan Murphy has had a tough enough life without keyboard cowboys passing judgement on him. Just let it go. Personally, I wish the kid well and sincerely hope he gets his life together. There's already enough real tragedy in this world without adding to it.

 

[jakez4ut]

well, that went well.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Sara Clark. Believe me when I say this, he ain’t gonna give a fuuuuuu. Your tax dollars are meaningless.
