I disagree. I actually credit Heup and Co. for getting out in front of it. He produced a season on the field he had no business having in his first year with a TON of attrition. But that in itself doesn't allure the kind of talent we're rumored to be in on. This NIL thing fell in his lap, and Heup to his eternal credit along with AD and powers that be there had the prescience to realize the way the wind was blowing and using some of those greenbacks to good use.Proof? Since so many say NIL is such a well established fact and is applicable to every recruit, why wouldn’t proof be easy to provide? Can you definitively say NIL is a major factor here? I know I can’t. No big deal if it is. However just using the NIL thing diminishes the work being done by our coaching and recruiting staff.
I have no idea what you just said. Is that a lawyer trick?
I bet her kitchen had that smell. The one where you knew and remembered what was and had been cooked in there. Fresh apple pie or stack cake from scratch, poke salad cooked the way it’s supposed to be, homemade biscuits or true pimento cheese. I can still remember that smell at almost 59 years old. Dammit, there’s salt in my eye.Born in Virginia but moved to Knoxville when I was two months old. Used to go to my Granny's a lot and she loved to listen to the games on Saturday. I would help her in the kitchen and we would listen together. She grew up in Alabama, but moved here when she was in high school. I don't remember any specific game but I remember John Ward very well. Her house was on Chapman Highway just past Redbud Drive
Didn’t realize he was the one that struck out lookingImagine being Colin Hall waking up this morning.
And then for the salt in the wound…
- Misgudge a fly ball
- Receive a Honcho salute
- Allow a game-tying double and rally
- Look at strike 3 to end the game

Psychological warfare. Shell shocked batter takes the final strike standing with bases loaded.Didn’t realize he was the one that struck out lookingHoncho ruined him.
That smell permeated the walls. Miss smelling that, but I really digressed, didn’t I? Remembering about John Ward always does that. Isn’t that what’s great about our childhood and remembering?My Mama used to make everything from scratch...homemade biscuits and fried peach pies. We would talk about it all the way down from Chattanooga to Bham. Miss your love Mama
