RIP to the guy from Baylor

Interesting note from Bob_Vols on 2 "freebie" returning seniors:

Carlin Fils-Aime and Shawn Shamburger are back with the team.

Always felt CFA was underutilized, but produced when given the rock. He could give us a little extra oomph and very experienced depth.

These refs in the basketball game don't like calling traveling violations.

I appreciate your optimism, but Fulmer may have done to Debord what he did to Clawson and prevent him from running what he wanted.

Debord ran a more traditional offense back then. Clawson changed everything and Fulmer struggled

 

[Devo182]

I know he thinks we release them, but do we get those spots back if we do release them?

That is what I was answering. Callahan believes we get those spots back, but wasn't 100%. That's his understanding, though.

At some point common ground has to be found here or in life, or everything goes off the rails. An old preacher I grew up listening to said one time "What if everybody was like you, would there be construction goin on, or destruction?"

As a Vol I forget sometimes when I get really depressed or angry..or both, which is understandable considering the last decade+, but I think it is in our best interest as Vol fans to help build things up, not tear them down.

Lord knows we get enough criticism from everybody else, we really need to stop being so quick to tear into this stuff ourselves. Call it "orange colored glasses" if you want, but I am a Vol...I'm supposed to look at things through an orange filter.

Just a few thoughts.

Most growth comes from recognizing where we fall short and choosing to correct it. Acknowledging where we could do better doesn't make one less a Vol.

Glad to hear Sham is back, too. Didn't he hate CJP? Hope he gets to just play football and not have to be thinking all the time.

That’s the game these days- do what you want.

 

[BigOrangeGoose]

These refs are straight TRASH. Called 13 fouls in less than 9 minutes. Very inconsistent too

IIRC, CFA was used a little at DB as well

 

[drvenner]

Well, we have South Dakota locked down

State by state. Great start!

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Looked for a second like we might pull away from Ole Miss but here we go again.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Vols in one of their funks.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Fulkerson is back to not taking shots. Baileyis back to shooting.

 

[Vols4us]

I'm so sick of officiating in the SEC. They don't even make a pretense of it any more.

 

[brentcontractor]

BS. People think many different ways, often based on maturity. We are not a hive-minded society. If all people think alike, why o we have both saints and serial killers? Yes, I'm purposely using extremes to illustrate my point. The fallacy is in believing others must think like us.

You are beyond making a point

@drvenner to UT

Come on, man. I'm not in this for money. I just want to mentor these young men.

In it for the big macs imo

Romello White walks half the time.,

 

[appyvol]

This game is a slugfest.

I have a request from Volnation. A plea really. My youngest Granddaughter, just over a month old, has been diagnosed with a Congenital Heart Defect (Tetralogy of Fallot) and will have open heart surgery this week. Any prayers that you could send (or positive thoughts if you don't believe in prayer) would be greatly appreciated. Just know, I wouldn't ask anything for myself, ever. But, I'll ask anything of anyone for one of my family. Thank you in advance.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this...

Almost six years ago, this beautiful miracle of a child survived two open hearts, two heart caths, three neuro surgeries, and a meningitis infection at her surgical site, after the first neurological surgery didn't take.

God be with you, your family, the parents, your granddaughter, and the medical staff. Prayers for peace that surpasses understanding for you all, and a healthy recovery for everyone involved.

My daughter recovered much quicker than her parents. Please reach out again, VolNation was a Godsend for me when Ashlee was in the hospital.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Vols gonna lose this thing if they're not careful.

 

[Smokeytom]

Don't care about the distance, that's the ball flight of a good kicker! Love it

 

[InVOLuntary]

They're beating us up and the refs are allowing it. Will they allow us to beat the crap out of them? Something tells me no.

 

[KB5252]

No consistency in how they officiate the game. I hate that, if you want to let them play let them play, if you want control of the game control it..... But be consistent.
