I’m just scrolling through to see @Ulysees E. McGill comment on how the Oklahoma bathroom fight video reminds him of some time he was in Mississippi in the 80’s

An elderly neighbor of mine is missing. No signs of foul play. Last seen at 3:45pm driving his car. He has early signs of dementia, but not diagnosed. I have been helping look for him since 6 pm. Just got home. It is like he just vanished. Please pray for him. Not much we can do at night. Local police are still looking.

Speaking as a former martial arts instructor. I had it drilled into my head strike immediately . They waited and it appears the door was to their back.

I am merely stating lawyers will chew them up. Many hours of discussing these scenarios and trying to drill into younger students there are consequences that the legal system will exploit.

Both sides would have hungry attorneys. Jury would feed the ones with facts on their sides. Waiting to engage shows more restraint imo.

Well my hot water heater was staying on so I look under house and wouldn't you know it, water everywhere.

Is there insulation in your floor joists? Hope not. You will have fungus on your joists for sure now. Need some 12 mil reinforced plastic and a timbor spray probably. Check your gutters . Look for a salt line on block , efflorescence. It may be doing this often. Wish I could inspect it for ye

Edit water heater prob. Set up a gravity drain with some pvc pipe out thru block in case it happens again. Make damn sure a good fungus guy inspects that in a couple months

I may get flamed for it, don’t care. No way did I want Franklin here, I don’t care what the “perceived” winning record he could have here. Forget his coaching record, he’s a POS person. The administration didn’t give a look at Kiffen or Freeze, but by some accounts, went after him. Talk about being hypocritical.

I absolutely didn’t want Kiffin or Franklin. I was as not sure about Freeze. Didn’t really pay attention to his ole miss drama...

I am ecstatic with CJH. I think that he is the right type of coach (and person) to right our ship. Explosive offense, all around good guy (from all accounts); cannot wait to see the Orange and White game! I like the defensive staff hires. I like the fact that almost all of his offensive staff is still together as well. I also think that once this team can show out this Fall, that recruiting will come around as well.

What is the setup? And he said "more than likely?" That means somebody is guessing about it? Why create drama?

It seems like AP is saying “that situation wouldn’t make me happy, so more than likely he’s not happy either”. Feels like he is projecting his feelings more than reporting, but I could be wrong and Artis is pissed.

Henry was a good player ... then a TE coach became his position coach, only he wasn't a TE.

Umm, retrospectively not a good TE coach either. Mainly worked on blocking techniques when TE coach. Maybe that’s the problem, was having HT try to block the OL...🤔

May have yelled at HT for the pick 6 as he was “out of position” 😁

Lawyers will chew up both sides and bleed them dry in fees. I don’t think there’s a clear lopsided case either way.

How did the smaller guy already have a bloody nose? Turtleneck guy kept touching his chin and checked it in the mirror. Something else happened before the footage began.

All paying the stupid tax would teach them a valuable lesson. Best case scenario is it all gets dropped .

We have been so offense starved since Dobbs/Kamara that we accept any good performances by skill players as being elite. Gray is a good RB. But he is very bad at blocking and is mediocre at best at breaking tackles. He may develop into somebody who can do that, or may just be a specialist. He is shifty and gets to top speed quickly. He has good vision and when he makes moves he does not slow down much, if at all. Best of luck to him unless playing our Vols. I agree with those who understand who Jaylen Wright will be in this O. That's why I posted we would forget about Gray by mid-season. Thinking about Jaylen Wright in space with the ball in his hands makes me smile.

Way harder to get on the ground than Gray.

Such great balance and body control. Change of direction caused most hits to be ineffective. Mostly Wasted talent at Tennessee. I would have had Hurd and Kamara in on every offensive play. There would have been so many wrinkles to exploit the defense with that backfield...stupid butch.

I'm with you, doc. At first I had to absorb that top coaches did not want to come here. As a lifelong Vol fan I could not grasp that. Why wouldn't they if the money was right? Then it finally dawned on me that UT had messed in its nest from the top down too many times. The T is still widely known, just not respected like it once was and the top HC's/staffs did not want to face the challenges of a rebuild of this extent when they could make the millions where they were or anticipated going. That's not on the current leaders. They get their opportunity to stabilize the situation and get it headed in the right direction.

So regardless of whatever stage of acceptance I am in, I see strong upside. I love that the coaching character issue is resolved. I love the continuity of the O staff and system of play. I love the O brilliance of Heup along with the proven playing and offensive coaching background. I love the experience and proven recruiting abilities of the D staff. So, win the games you should win and surprise with another win or two this fall. Then it will be off to the races as the sanctions are removed.

C'mon, doc. Everybody knows it is the system that is most important, not the players. How can you be resilient and play complimentary football while being champions of life without a solid system?

Could have changed the trajectory of Botch's career if he could have ever thought outside of the box and got over himself. But alas...
