Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Cosmo Kramer]

From Poster on VQ:

Gary Parrish noted that he heard from one of Memphis' biggest boosters (6-figure + annually) who remarked "why does it feel like no one is ever in charge over there [in the Tiger High Basketball Program]."

Could get interesting in Memphis if / when they miss the NCAAT again.

Calkins pretty much roasted Penny this morning and stated he can like a guy and still be critical. I was shocked to hear that he said AD Laird Veach has little authority over Penny. Apparently, Penny has been given free reign over his program, and Leach can only make suggestions.

Calkins was about to criticize UT fans in his 2nd segment, and I had to go.

Penny is having his cake and eating it too because he knows that no one is going to hold his feet to the fire

Vols fans throwing a fit and pointing out the obvious to everyone isn't going to change anything

 

[Smokeytom]

Stranger Things obviously the GOAT 80s show. Duhhh

I loved it too…. The fireworks store/scene is from South Pittsburgh, TN

I used to ride down to that store every year to help my dad pick up fireworks for my grandmother's convenient store. Loved that trip.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Was Young Guns and Full Metal Jacket on the list?

So taking the bet listed, they would need to win by 2 to win the bet, but winning by only 1 isn't a loss, it's a push, right?

Correct

Same here. One of my favorites of theirs now. It's definitely multi-layered. Barton Fink is the same way. Hated it the first couple of times I watched it, then started picking up little things here and there. That's what makes the Coen's so damn great, the little nuances and their sense of humor.

They don’t explain everything…much less overexplain. Which allows the moviegoer to go their own pace. Prolly why not everything they put out is a blockbuster…ticket wise. My daughter and I will break up laughing through Raising Arizona and her boyfriend and my wife will sit there with cartoon question marks over their head.

Thinner... mid 90 s but still

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ive bet at -1 all the time before, but never had a game where the win was just 1 pt. I didn't realize that.

It's what happens in a lot of my CBB losses. I'll bet a team -4.5 and they'll win by 2. So even though I pick the right team they didn't hit the spread so it's a loss

Hamburger Hill. . .

Anyone ever watch a movie called The Wraith? Or Nightbreed?

Wore the VHS version of Nightbreed completely out, VCR clock flashing "12:00" the entire time.

Couple of movies named The Wraith but if you mean with the car, absolutely!

"These the type of balloons that make funny shapes?"

"If round is a funny."

Absolute classic of a movie.

“They’re self-adhesive and fairly explanatory.”

“Boy you got a pantie on your head.”

“I want Nathan Jr back! Or whichever one it was they took!”

"Son, you got a panty on your head."

 

[VFL1993]

Grant might want to adjust the last part of the quote since we technically also have multiple unvaccinated players.

"Son, you got a panty on your head."

You take that diaper off your head and put it back on your sister!

If Barnes said it, Ramey has to report it that way...

 

[thomaseusin]

Since we’re talking about 80s movies..

 

[MoCo_Vol]

And I'm sure lots of VolTwitter is turning that into some sort of political discussion.

NCAA/SEC set requirements and Barnes/team have met those requirements. Him stating they won't reschedule a team that doesn't meet those requirements is absolutely the right thing to do.

Yes. That's it! Not everyone is going to get it...hell, a lot of times I don't get it, at first. That's the beauty, and brilliance, of those dudes.

“I want Nathan Jr back! Or whichever one it was they took!”

Whenever they're in that store, with the old man, the one they tell to count...that whole sequence is as good as anything that's ever been filmed.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So I am curious. From now on, if we lose a recruit to another program, is the sole reason going to be money?
