I really really really feel like we’re gonna be much better than expected this year.

I think we’re gonna shock the sec, in a sense.

I agree. Our coaches and players are so well spoken that's its unavoidable.

Here's my thoughts on leasing vs buying and buying a car in general.

I think it all depends on how you use the car. 15,000 miles isn't a bunch of miles. If you go over it's pretty punitive from what I've seen. I tend to drive them until there's not much left of them. I tend to buy used, very low mileage cars. I know used prices are insane right now. A lease wouldn't work for me right now as I drive 20,000 miles per year or more. That may change Ina few years when I retire and a lease may be more attractive. Also, I tend to have the resources to work on my own cars so warranties don't really move the needle for me.

If I were really trying to cut my cost down I would buy used, 50k or less miles, drive it until it's got 180K-200K miles on it and do it again. Maintain it well, yourself as your capable. Learn how to maintain it. Fix things yourself, youtube is a great resource. Teach your kids how to maintain.

requires time & tools.

my kids are super young, although that's great advice when kids are older. iyam teaches confidence...

The more I think on it, Milton has to be the guy and I really like Bailey a lot.

Team is going to need as many playmakers on O as possible and Milton’s feet are Dobbs style differentiator which can make our line appear better than they actually will be.

He is not a Dobbs type runner. He still has a lot of development that is needed for his game. But so do all of our QBs.

Honestly, I was more excited about the season before I saw the clip yesterday of our qbs missing point blank throws against air over and over.

 

[volbeast33]

So we're waiting to see if he has overcome that?

He had surgery in the off season…… fully recovered and healthy…… I think he will win the job bc he is an absolute freak but he has to prove it on the field….. our offense is much more qb friendly than what he ran at Michigan.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I’m to the point where idc who starts now. I’m just glad that we have 3 options in Bailey, Hooker, and Milton. 3 guys with experience playing. A way more talented group of guys then JG, Shrout, Maurer.

 

[ACvol3]

Sheesh. I need that plan. Is the weight gain intentional? If so, I hope it all goes well for you and I'm glad to see your health return.

Yeah, I didn’t eat for like a week.. I want to get back to normal, which is around 220

They're never to young to help. I started mine at 4 or so. Have them hand you tools. Teach them what tool does what, terminology, what parts do. Even girls. My son does all his maintenance on his car. He bought a 2010 BMW that had been flooded and completely redid the interior himself. Learned a bunch on YouTube because I knew nothing of BMW.

I mean it's still subjective, part of the beauty of sports.

I'd take Randy Moss every time as my #1 WR pick. But that in no way means I'm saying Moss is BETTER than Rice.

Just like I'd take Peyton as my #1 QB, in no way is that me saying he's better than Montana or Brady or Rodgers etc. it's just don't ask who -I- would pick and then argue that I'm wrong about MY opinion, cause end of the day I'm not changing it.

Imagine Peyton with the 90s Cowboys OL and Defense. Jerry Rice, and any other 2 receivers to throw to. Sanders in the backfield with Moose Johnston. Oh my!

My wife and I didn’t hardly eat for a week. It took me even longer to really start getting an appetite back for my normal diet. I lost 6 pounds in the week I was sick.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Doc… with all your fancy golfing attire / equipment / places you play…. Me thinks you could easily afford a Hellcat

Ahhh, but Mrs. VolsDoc controls the purse strings.

I don’t argue. Our house is almost paid off after only 18 years. We own our vehicles. Just got a new boat and have enough in retirement to retire even though I plan on working for 10 more years. Not bragging. Giving kudos to her. If I was in charge of finances, we’d probably be living paycheck to paycheck. She is very disciplined financially. Means that I get better toys!

I'm at 220 now. Need to get to 205 hoping for 195.

 

[nashvol1]

So you think our line is going to be a problem?

In SEC play, yes. Mostly due to lack of depth.

 

[nashvol1]

He is not a Dobbs type runner. He still has a lot of development that is needed for his game. But so do all of our QBs.

Fairly close in running, already looks like a better pure passer. Dobbs had so many leadership intangibles and never quit attitude which also differentiated him. Bailey might be a “sitting duck” in SEC play.

Still like Bailey a lot too. Problem I see is slow release with a line that lacks depth is not a recipe for success in SEC play. If he starts will root for him and the entire team and fingers crossed the line holds up.

 

[jave36]

Charles Woodson was a more complete CB than Deion though, but I can't argue that Deion is one of a kind.

So far the counters have been "but he played with Joe Montana" to which the stats show his better seasons came while with Young.

Irvin as good as Rice? You're high as hell. Don't let team success influence individual success. And if anyone benefited from another player, it's Irvin benefiting from Emmitt Smith. Once Dallas became a juggernaut in the ground game the dude probably never saw double coverage again for his career. Irvin's first 3 years were pretty sad, then Emmitt has his break out 2nd season and suddenly Michael's production takes off.

Rice had the greatest career because he maintained a high level of elite for a long, long time. That doesn't mean his highest level of elite was higher than every other WR who played the game. It means he was better at sustaining a high level for longer than anyone, which is nothing to scoff at. But if you needed a WR for one season only, Rice is not the one you should pick. It's just a different conversation, greatest and best are two totally different things. Brady is by far the greatest because he's maintained elite status for decades, but there are so, so, so many other QBs I would take for one single season. It's semantics a little bit, but greatest and best are two different conversations.

I wish someone would tell Ryan how goofy he sounds when calling a player a "unit".

 

[Nashvegas31]

With Calbert down who steps up as the 4th Tackle? Perry(hubbs/price had a love affair every podcast on how good he looked in offseason body wise), the Juco kid or Parker? I lean Parker personally but it might not hurt to have a younger guy go ahead and get all these reps instead of Calbert who was bound to get hurt at some point

 

[Devo182]

Final day of the Olympics we'll have women's basketball, women's volleyball, and 2 boxers going for gold. Not sure what China has that last day.

538 expects us to win 4 more medals. Just 1 for China.

So...we're gonna need all golds basically. There's still a chance though.

Wright and Davis.

 

[Devo182]

They aren’t lying when they refer to this offense as “fast”. Counted at least 3 times where the offense was completely set with 35 seconds to go on the play clock

Yeah the refs better get the heck out of the way and not screw with us.

[engineerVOL]

Calling my shot. Hooker is our opening day starter. And that’s a heck of a catch by a RB.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Not feeling great about our DC if he has Solon Page in man against Evans.
