Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UpstateVol613]

This should end the GOAT debate not that there should be one anyway.

The only one propping up Lebron went MIA when his “insider” DC knowledge proved to be a nothing burger.

It dang sure ain’t going to happen at our place now nearly as much. The eyes of Plowman and the NCAA won’t allow it. It’s one of the main reasons the calculations the coup group made of these changes being made for the good were dead wrong.
This program is a decade away from Having any chance to win more than 6-8 games a year

Bless your naive little heart

Who was that?

Let’s seal up Conklin and ride.

Apparently we have to take a risk/strike out on inexperienced candidates first for political measures

Empathy goes a long way.

I can speak about my personal experiences, but I know they are unique to me. No way would I cast a large net as if what I have dealt with is the same as everyone else.

Yes. This is true. There are also different types of burns. There are burns that sting. Some that leave a scar and others than require you to amputate a limb. What racism has done to black people in America in particular is far worse than the vast majority of any type oppression that white people have experienced throughout history. The same white Americans who came here and massacred native Americans to get away from their oppression. As an adult, it’s irresponsible to create a false equivalent as a means to dilute the impact of racism on the black community. Racism is really bad guys. Racism allowed the Tulsa massacre to happen and nobody even bat an eye. Racism is why the FBI never declared the KKK as a terrorist organization but spared no expense to destroy the black panther party. I know a lot of you guys are conservative and such but please rethink your views.

Actually, true conservatives don't give a flying flip about race. We believe in merit. Did you work hard? Then you have earned a benefit. If you are the best candidate for a position then you should get it. If you mess up then you take a step back and regroup and try again. People think of conservatives as a bunch of powerful white men handing out prizes to whom they deem worthy but that is not what the conservative movement is at its core. Merit and compassion for others is what conservatives truly value.

You can read my post in coachery thread on FB forum. The coach my friend represents is gone. He still talks to boosters. I’m afraid what I hear now is even further from the source than before. Sorry I don’t know much about the DC hire except that we spent a very long time on Washington. He was our top target by far.

Sounds like Franklin for HC ordeal. If they take that long to decide and say No, then they likely were not the right fit. We must have coaches and players who want to be Vols. All in. Or All out.....and I like how this AD and HC go about their business. Most of the info and leaks are coming from agents of people who are gauging interest.

This admin could muck up a wet dream.

 

[VOLED]

That’s an anecdote. Sounds like your dad was a hard worker and loved his family. That’s a good thing. That said, there’s nothing about that story that has anything to do with systemic

I am not discounting the horrors and evils that black folks have had to endure over the years. I am merely pointing out that the problem is much more of a socioeconomic problem than it is a race problem. ...Rich folks tend to have more opportunity and poor folks less.

It does boil down to economics, but who has controlled the economic discussion in this country for 400 years, white people or black people?

This is a great article about the practice of “redlining” Dividing Lines: Redlining in Louisville - Louisville

A process of systemically driving down the property values and loan and banking opportunities of black people in the city of Louisville.

I spent 15+ years in Louisville as a legal aid attorney, a criminal prosecutor, and a trial court judge. There are FACTUAL analyses of the racial populations being processed through our justice system. Black people are arrested, convicted, and sentenced WAY disproportionately to their percentage of the population.

It starts with them getting arrested more. Why? Because there’s more cops in the “black” areas of town than in my affluent, predominantly white neighborhood. Why? Because there’s more crime happening there. Why? Because people there are poor and desperate. Why? It all goes back to economics...

My home value has risen consistently over the years. Many homes in the black area of town are plagued with stagnant or even declining home values. Try to get a loan to start a business in that scenario. What collateral you got? What school are you going to go to? What neighborhood mentors are you going to be exposed to as a child as you formulate either positive or negative life behaviors?

I’m sorry to contribute to this thread derailment, but there absolutely is a history in this country of systemic government, financial, and societal structures set up contrary to the well being and success of black people.

*Poor, struggling white people definitely exist. I grew up in East Tennessee. I know what that looks like. But the existence of one doesn’t nullify the other.

If true, everyone needs to STFU about swinging and missing on so many candidates. I've thought all along that Washington was the top choice, and we spent 4 to 6 days trying to get it done with him.

So, yeah...people who think we've been turned down by 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 coaches...STFU, and let it play out. But, mainly, STFU.

This is one of the greatest gifs I have ever seen.

 

[VFLPastor]

I'm just going to sit & stare at these awesome fail gifs while the thread burns down. Feel free to join me. Regardless of your plumbing or the color of your skinsuit.

 

[preacherwebb]

That's true. I mean, Ric Flair. 16 time World Champion. And the guy can't even wrestle.

A coworker of mine played football with the big man in the first gif at Georgia Southern hahaha.

 

[InVOLuntary]

You use a lighter?? Weak. Guess I should expect that from a girly man such as yourself.

Actually just for the fun of it, I typically use fatwood that I've harvested and a Ferrell rod. I'm working on my bow drill skills.

He was 100% committed. Gave it all for that dunk.
We all should live out that strong!

Tyler Hudanick joins Josh Heupel's staff at Tennessee

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm 80% sure a DC has been hired but not named for whatever reason. Garner doesn't get hired without a deal in place.

That's a logical conclusion therefore its probably wrong. Remember what institution we are dealing with here.

 

[Ashevolle]

Good point. The problem with the KKK was they just didn’t talk about race enough.

More like the KKK flourished when good people didn't speak up about racial injustice and strive to do better.

 

[xtremevolfan]

Hire T-Rob maybe he brings Travis Williams with him to coach LBs. it’s a win win.

 

[preacherwebb]

Yeah, these guys are all over the place and no where at all

They should consider a discount for their current subscribers ...
And since they are out of the loop, lowering their rates for new subscribers.

I mean, since they don't have sources, and they don't have info, then they are giving their two cents.
Why is their two cents worth 9.95?

JMO

 

[TrippieRedd]

Hire T-Rob maybe he brings Travis Williams with him to coach LBs. it’s a win win.

I wouldn’t mind TRob - DC
TWill - LBs
Garner - DL

That’s a lot of swag and recruiting on the defense

Very well said, sir.
