Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[InVOLuntary]

I have an antenna for local channels.

That's the best way to go but I back up to ridge and get nothing.

Still does not mean ANY game that hits the record book is not important. If Picketts rationale for not playing is because the game is meaningless for those that play, I have no use for him.

Lol. I’m going to assume you aren’t a Pro Football Player and are also not a millionaire.

Get @engineerVOL to design you a huge tower to get up over the ridge.

I had family that traveled to Nashville for the game, too. They were disappointed, but they stayed, watched the scrimmage and the kids had a chance to meet some of the players, who were available to talk to families and take photos. Proud of the BasketVols for doing this and happy UTAD is giving disappointed ticketholders free admission to the LVs top 10 game tonight. Well done, Tennessee.

Hey, Memphis, guess who won the day?

I hated the old system...the only thing wrong now is the small number allowed in the playoffs, which is why until this year most of the top 100 kids were going to 4-5 schools. This year is the beginning of the chaotic free agency era where a team like ATM saw the chance to literally buy a team...so it will be different from here on out.

I have said for forty years that Div1 should have a system just like the lower leagues, and I have never understood why they didn't.

Looks like the men's BB team traveled back to watch the ladies play.

 

[VolGee4]

I’m so sorry!

Thanks, but things beyond our control. I read @InVOLuntary’s situation, and it put things in perspective. I’m probably a bit younger than him, but I got to spend yesterday and today traveling with my dad. All good.

They are hypocrites though. Had beef with Roku because Roku wouldn't pay them a significant amount more to hold the app. It's the same **** they committed and they expected Roku folks to ditch Roku. So I ditched them for fubo. Once March madness starts up, I'll look deeper into TNT and TBS. If I was fubo, I'd look to add them promptly

They all do it. Greed rules all. I’m prob sticking with FuboTV as well.

Not good. Hospice. Hoping to get him through the Holidays. Appreciate you asking.

So sorry! We’re going through this with my husband’s uncle.

Mickey D’s best quote.. “There’s no such thing as momentum in sports, it doesn’t effect anything.”

Miami was in title contention when we beat them.

You're also mistaking entertainment for meaning. Bowl games used to be more entertaining, but unless one of the two teams were in title contention, they meant nothing in the overall big picture.

Weez, this is where we disagree. Tennessee football games are NOT entertainment. They ARE everything! Does not matter what the talking heads at ESPN or “sports fans” think about them being meaningful or entertaining. Other fans used to feel this passionate about their team also.

I remember when a few people were on the "momentum is fake" wagon. How could you watch or play any competitive sport and think momentum is not real?

Lost my mom this time of the year. Right before her birthday. My sister was a freshly certified nurse and brother in law was working for a Crossville hospice organization, so it was more comfortable for her but no less powerless feeling for us. Prayers out brother.

True. You're getting out of bed with one to get into bed with another. I've been watching a lot more YouTube (Google). At least some normal Jane's and Joe's are benefitting.

I probably watch more creators on YouTube than I do anything else...there are just so many informative, entertaining and helpful creators for different things.

I’m showing my 12 year old son the signing day show with Mike Keith and he is giggling like a schoolgirl watching the film of Tyre West killing folks

I already felt good about our class but after watching that I was pumped. I really like what I heard about them, especially a couple I had doubts about.

I think it’s because nobody wanted to give up the bowls with their pageantry and tradition. So they did a mini playoff until no one cares about the bowls and the playoffs became boring so people would be ready for the change.

A Hulu veteran. Ok. I need to know - is there any way to watch game highlights/Key Plays? Or do you just have to watch entire games/scroll around looking for the important plays? Hopefully you know where to find this. Otherwise I feel like I'm living in caveman times

Wtf is this Key Plays you keep yapping about? Is it a specific channel on YTTV? Is it a ESPN thing? If it is not, who does YTTV get the content from?

I always assumed he taught a class on being a condescending a$$hat. Pat Forde and Dan Wolken were valedictorian and salutatorian.

Oda, I love Tennessee football and I'm extremely passionate about it. But the last 7 years of my life have given me perspective. I lost my dad and almost died myself. I absolutely want Tennessee football to be great, but if a guy wants to look to his future and skip a game, I don't blame him. I'm sure having fans is great, but these guys are looking to provide for their family long-term, and family, they ARE everything.

The schools are not responsible for NIL deals (not suppressed to be anyway), and they are not supposed to incentive laden in regards to performance.

Nil deals are essentially advertisements for companies. Would you want to sign someone who would back out of the biggest games so they could get ready for the NFL.

Maybe not. He's not that great with simple railings.

I watch YouTube 90% of the time. I pay $12/month for premium so no ads. With that you get youtube music so that's my music streaming service.
