Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[engineerVOL]

Don’t post much but a good buddy of mine is a firefighter in the Chattanooga area (and a hugE Vol fan) and sent this my way. One of his good friends at a hospital in Dalton just had their daughter diagnosed with leukemia. Given how generous this board has always been, I told him I’d share it. Thanks in advance to all who can contribute.

Jane's Journey Against Leukemia, organized by Jeana Preston

Bump!

 

[Dirty Vol]

Seriously I believe it is the worst thing I've ever watched in my life. I'm sick over it.

Go watch terrorist slicing throats! Thats the worst!

But why?

I’m oddly, morbidly curious but I know it’ll be hard to watch.

Not a lot gets to me but his voice was just creepy sounding. Strange to watch that take place.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Watched my mom have a TIA in person. It was pretty surreal.

I was walking with my grandfather when he had one but it was nothing like that. He just lost his balance and seemed confused. Still freaked me out.

When you realize football starts tomorrow!

I watched my dad have a heart attack when I was five. That freaked me out pretty dang good hahaha

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That's great to see. Man, doesn't even appear his face has suffered any significant damage.

 

[Devo182]

So you can appeal a decision by the SEC?

Tom Mars posted earlier the SEC has NO published guidelines. It appears to me they don't even have a formal (at least made public, like the ncaa) process for these things. There is no flowchart on how they decide things, any appeal process, etc. I'm pretty sure it's just Sankey winging it.

Mars called this "arbitrary and capricious".

Around 6 years ago I went fishing with a guy in my church. We were walking out and he collapsed of a heart attack and died right in front of me. I gave him CPR for about 45 minutes before the ambulance arrived but it didn't do any good. I think he was dead before he hit the ground.

 

[BigOrangeGoose]

Sankey will be on finebaum show at 6:15. If paul is a true VFL he will force him to approve!

whoa. That’s intense. Good on you for at least attempting cpr. You’re probably right. He was easily gone before he hit the ground I bet

 

[Smokeytom]

Glad to see he looks well...maybe it was just a glitch in the MK Ultra programming.

 

[Dirty Vol]

But why?

1. I can stomach it. I grew up hunting and processing animals. Deer, cows, pigs, chickens, etc.
2. For me personally seeing something that horrific allows me to carry a sense of hatred and disdain for anyone that could do that to another human being.

His leg stiffened up straight, and he made just an awful noise, and just fell backward stiff as a board. He was making like a hissing sound with his breathing, eyes were gone. Then his head kind of turned to the side and he quit breathing.

I have field dressed many deer, cut them up and pulled their intestines and organs out. But that's a deer. Not a man. No thanks

Wow. That’s crazy

My dad's heart problems started with him passing out randomly. That was 20 years ago. He had passed out twice--once at work and once at home in the bathroom. I was with him and my mom at the mall and we were waiting on her to come out of a store when he said "I don't feel good" and crumpled over onto the floor. He was conscious again within 3-4 seconds but it was scary as hell watching it in person and knowing it was the third time he had passed out in the past two weeks or so.

~3 years later he had a heart transplant.

That shii was so f***** up. But it would have been cool to be one of the real lucky subjects getting the fun stuff

I think the only thing that would truly surprise me tomorrow is for us to get blown out. Could see us losing close, winning close, winning big. I truly don't know what to expect. I believe we're better than South Carolina but that we were leagues better than Georgia State and significantly better than BYU, so who knows. We'll learn a lot tomorrow. I expect to see plenty of rust, but the hope is there's enough on the Carolina side that it doesn't cost us too much.

 

[Aesius]

If paul is a true VFL

Yeah, about that...

CJP said we have to come out real aggressive, because we'll make plenty of mistakes. The staff seems to be expecting a sloppy game out of the gates, so it shouldn't be unexpected by us. Just need to make more big plays than they do.

Damn, seriously... I know everyone is upset on the Sankey thing... I agree... we always go back and forth on here, but geez Sankey, you know EXACTLY what you are doing here by not announcing anything at this point... If he has half a brain he knows that at this point, no matter what he says or when he says it, the entire UT fanbase is pissed, and going to stay pissed at him. He also knows that a kid, a kid mind you, is sitting and just waiting to see if he is going to be allowed to play ... talk about a power trip this dude must be on... there's no excuse or no paperwork, or interviews... nothing... nothing from just stepping up and making a decision. This is pathetic and he is a pathetic person right now with how he is treating this situation and fanbase... F this guy...
