Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Yeah. I thought mentioning that Nix was 3 inches shorter was a little too much information.

Lmfao

Cheating in college football...... this can’t be accurate...... this is what happens at other schools..... screw it..... we will give you track....just shut up about our cheating..... here at Tennessee.... we self investigate and nail ourselves to the wall.

On the bright side - Pruitt isn’t our coach anymore

I don’t understand what ppl gain from posting on social media.. I don’t know what I was thinking when I was younger and did it. It just doesn’t make sense to me anymore

Dopamine fix by being “liked” and the constant novelty of an updating feed of information.

But I agree. I’ve not even opened Facebook for weeks… maybe longer

 

[bignewt]

that's my qb

In the course of settlement negotiations with the school, the athletes’ attorneys put forth a number of potential arguments of disproportionate treatment they were ready to make at trial, which included raising questions about expensive new vehicles that some track athletes said they had witnessed Clemson football players driving around campus.

Thinking of Coach Vitello and how he needs a raise. He’s making about $465k meaning he needs a boost. So, what’s the market I wonder?:

Dave Van Horn from Arkansas, his previous boss makes $925k, so that’s a good baseline.

Coach from Florida makes $1.3M and LSU makes $1.2M.

Then I looked up Tim Corbin, who is without a doubt the top of the ladder....

Did anyone know he makes $2.3M?!? Wowsas

He is probably the best in the US, or at least top 3. He has brought Vandy to heights they have never seen in any sport. Still hate his guts, though, LOL.

 

[drvenner]

I’d bump him to 800k base with escalators and performance bonuses. Then give him whatever upgrades he wants in facilities

Maybe he likes to take the stairs. Just sayin'

It's so easy to get drugs, most kids start in middle to high school. I have an old buddy that has had years of drug use. I recently have been working with his family to get him help. They had no idea where to turn. He's in jail at this time and when released he will go to a home that will help him stay clean. He started using in 8th grade.

I don't know why people are acting like jackwads because he's excited to be sober for a year. The kid is 20 that's 5% of the life he's lived so far. I am happy for him and anyone else that can get sober or wants to get sober.

Thank you. Awesome perspective. Hope your buddy can get clean and sober.

It just shows the IQ level of some people. I know it's not the correct word to use describing them but I'm gonna go ahead and say they're pretty close to being retards.

 

[drvenner]

Give him 1.5!

LOL, while you're handing out raises, can you ask my boss to throw me another 50k?

That would take me up to 60k and I would be very happy about that.

That's what LSU is probably paying their new lady basketball coach. If you're good enough, someone will figure out a way to bring the big bucks.

I started smoking weed at 12, cocaine by 17, fentanyl by 20, clean at 24. Lucky to be alive. It's a lot harder to get sober than people give credit for. I mean my entire adult life was spent blunting every emotion I'd ever felt. I had no clue how to process pain any other way. It's not easy to deal with, especially when you know how easy it'd be to make it all go away again.

UTAD can make money on baseball and keep talent like Voltello and Anderson on for the long haul. Come to agreement on the business plan and execute it. Baseball is big in TN and east TN in particular. Need to get the park up over 10 K seats. That's where the best programs are and it matters to the big name talent you recruit. Make it a great fan experience for students and regular fans alike. Party atmosphere in the open air and sunshine on Rocky Top.

I think this is a once in a generation opportunity. We need to take advantage and keep TV here for the long haul. If we lose him, it might be many years again before we are relevant in baseball again.

On the bright side - Pruitt isn’t our coach anymore

That is the bright side.....just hope it doesn’t hinder our new coaches ability to hook our players up with some nice rides like during the 90’s.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Rick Warren

Social media in general does not foster this ideal. Just my opinion. (Not talking about Maurer at all, proud of his accomplishment. Hopefully my son can say the same one day)

Very hopeful for your son as well.

People that constantly post on social media are self centered cringe

What about people that constantly post on VN? Asking for a friend.

Designing mirrors is something I can definantly see myself doing.

So long as you avert your gaze while you're doing it, it has a chance of not breaking.

Nipsy?

Nope. Way too early for me to start drinking at work.

It appears that now days rules and regulation are mere suggestions for those that are suppose to abide by them. I go through the Enter door and out the Exit. I wait in line where marked. I try to merge when a sign says to and not race to the trouble ahead and then get mad when not let over because I'm so important and my problems and need to be some place are greater than everyone else. Yes I suppose I'm a mindless sheep following the herd...........but then again maybe I am just trying to follow the rules and not mess up someone else's world.........this coming from someone that has Crayons, Coloring Books and is given SKITTLES to fit into society......or maybe not........only I know for sure. SKITTLE ?
