Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[ConwayFitty]

My first thoughts with the troubles at LB and DB, we are having is that we should be playing a 9-1-1. Some of our DL could drop back in coverage, right?

Now that's an innovator- Like playing goal line defense in Madden every snap

Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers.

As many of you know, my dad has been suffering from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. It's basically a lung disease where your lung tissue just hardens with scar tissue. Idiopathic means they don't know what causes it. There is no cure other than a lung transplant.

He was diagnosed a little over two years ago, just a few months before my mom died of Alzheimers disease. He progressively got worse where he literally could not convert air to oxygenate his body.

He's been ready to go for some time. He passed early this morning a little after 3:00AM.

My dad and I were literally best friends. He was in business with me until retirement when he quit to care for my mom. No way I could have gotten this business off the ground without him. It's a huge loss for me but I take comfort in that He's no longer suffering.

Again, thanks to all my friends here who prayed or just had us in your thoughts. Please continue to pray for peace for our family. He was really a great man that everyone that knew him loved him. I seriously don't know of anyone that didn't like him.

Thanks to @LA Vol and @Orange Studs who were always asking about him. This is a community of some really great folks here. Thanks, @Freak for giving us this platform.

Finally, if your fortunate enough to still have your parents around, please give them a hug. They won't always be there.

Sorry to hear that! Prayers for you and your family. Losing my father was literally the toughest thing I ever faced!!

God Bless you, my friend. I lost my Dad 11 years ago, and he was a huge Vol fan so I feel your pain. Prayers sent for you and family.

Syracuse to Face Tennessee in 2025 Chick Fil-A Kickoff
3-0 record....Largest margin of Victory 33-9 in 2001

At Washington would be a pretty cool trip.

I know how you feel, life will never be the same. I just thank God that because of the way I was raised by my folks...I know there is a better place, and while this is an end..it is not the end.

Prayers for the comforter to be with you and guide you and yours through this.

Sounds like a great man. I personally lost my Mom in 1990. Dad passed in 2017 though diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 1992 and given 5 years. Tough to lose both parents. But like you, we've learned so many great lessons from our parents to pass on. They live on through us.

Anyone old or historically informed enough to remember scheduling Wash St years in advance and then they show up with Drew Bledsoe? Number one in the NFL draft that year

Same thing happened with Pitt this year. Oregon under Kelly, Ole Miss had their best season ever this year

 

[Batman1948]

Wow....

Vegas baby

June Jones interested in Hawaii job

That would be great!
View attachment 429134

Wasn't he the coach at Hawaii a few years back?

 

[Batman1948]

Not me. Too much crime in Miami. Not worth the hassle.
The mountains are very nice around Fayetteville.

I wonder if they have crimes against nature in those mountains

 

[WesTnVol]

So sorry to hear Invol

 

[Batman1948]

I bet you they have great food, drinks, and some damn big screen TV's in there, plus a great view of the sideline action. Somebody will pay up for those.

Sideline action? Is that even legal

 

[Batman1948]

Chandler has gotten worse through the season.

It almost looks like he's trying to put the whole team on his shoulders and that's not his role. He's supposed to run the offense and get everyone else involved

 

[Batman1948]

I thought college changed it

The NBA changed that rule---not college

 

[peaygolf]

Wasn't he the coach at Hawaii a few years back?

Yes
He just seems to be a fit there.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Apparently Tate Martell has left UNLV and completely retired from football.

 

[74volz]

Sorry for your loss @InVOLuntary. Always hurts to lose parents. Lost my dad in 09 and number of years later my mom. All the best to you and your family.

 

[Batman1948]

James let that elbow take him out the entire game???

He may have a concussion from hitting his head on the floor---that's not gonna be good for us short term
