No. I'd just like to get this thread discussion back to Tate and disappear to reading this thread instead of trying to clean up misunderstandings about future NCAA regulations on NIL.

You've repeatedly said that the NCAA cannot limit NIL because SCOTUS smacked them around - so which case was it? What case did the NCAA lose that limits their ability to regulate NIL? Simple question.

Then you could shut up. Or at least stop preening like you understand “the future” more than anybody else who’s been paying attention. The NCAA LOST back in 2014…remember? When Ed O’Bannon shut down the EA Sports money train? Been treading water until the 5 Finger Exploding Heart Death Tap was applied. In the meantime, NIL discussion is relevant to recruitment of Tate…so “get back” to that.

Happy for you that yours worked out, but statistics disagree with all these "pit bulls are harmless" posts. You can blame owners if you like, but they are clearly the most likely dog to kill or injure a person. And almost every single nasty dog encounter I've ever had or heard of is with one of those. I don't think anyone believes 100% of them are likely to attack you, but odds are much higher they will than any other dog.

I wouldn't be surprised that in everyone of these nasty dog encounters that the dog is unattended. There are a lot of dog breeds that are just as likely to be aggressive when encountered unattended.

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 sallet 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.

Yeah Disney & Universal are on the agenda for the trip. I've been to Universal before and loved it.

Make sure to ride Hagrid’s motorcycle ride. It’s a blast. Flight of Passage is a must at Disney. A little tip for that ride…go there immediately when the gates open, and then go again about 5-10 mins before close. You will get through the line faster at those times.

What makes pit's so dangerous is their strength. They can be good pets, but they're always dangerous because of that strength. If a chihuahua breaks bad, you might die from laughter, but it's not going to be able to tear you limb from limb or rip your throat out. But pits can be very sweet dogs.

Ive got a pit. He's the sweetest dog I've known, but he still scares me. Give him one of those giant bones from rural king and he literally bites it in half without really trying. He weighs about 70-75lbs.

I believe he could easily kill someone who he thought was hurting one of our family. Not sure he could be stopped. That's scary, especially knowing there are other version of him that have been trained to kill on command.

Here he is in a guest bedroom he has claimed.

No. You have repeatedly stated what you thought the Supreme Court ruled. He's just asking you to cite the case where that happened.

I'm interested, too. I'd like to read it.

Best explanation. Suggesting that the NCAA has realistic wiggle room to take back control is denial in liquid form. 9-0 decision from a Court with divisive philosophical difference is glaring. If a collective is smart and well researched (like Spyre) they can easily avoid using university tie-ins. Genies…bottles…use own analogies at will. As I’ve referenced before, self-declared legal experts ran rampant on this board after both Gates…Schiano and Pruitt. We were going to dish out 20’s of millions in legal and punitive damages and any arguments otherwise are ignorant…we’re lawyers with a VN account! 😉

This might sound strange, but it just dawned on me that not everyone is a lifelong Vols fan. I kinda assumed that, as a kid, you liked them or you grew up with UT fans. I just saw someone mention they became a fan in Sept. 2019.

I grew up just across the river from Neyland. My grandma lived off Martin Mill pk, next to Fleniken elementary. Every football Saturday, we'd climb the hill behind Fleniken and watch for the fireworks after a score.

The old man, who lived on top of the hill, would always have John Ward playing. We'd build dirt jumps in the woods next to his house and ride the trails while the broadcast aired. Whenever we scored, we'd know it. The radio excitment, then hearing "Go Vols" being yelled inside & outside houses having game day bbq's up and down the street, and seeing or hearing the fireworks exploding. . . I was hooked early, as far back as I can remember.

When/why did you become a Vols fan?

Grandfather from D.C. was an Army doctor in WW2 and my grandmother from south GA went to D C. at 18 to volunteer to help support the troops in the war and met my grandfather. They eventually moved the family to East TN in the 50's to start his psychiatry practice after bouncing around after the war. They had a house built in Fountain City and eventually one on Ft. Loudon lake near Friendsville. He eventually became head of psychiatry for UT Hospital and 2 of their 3 children went to UT (youngest went to Vandy).

I came along in the early 80's and grew up going to games with my grandfather and sometimes my single mother who ironically is schizophrenic but can function. My dad is also schizophrenic but was batshite crazy and they got divorced after meeting in Appalachian Hall mental hospital, getting out, having me and getting divorced when I was young.

My grandparents were my role models and with my mom's condition helped to raise me. They had season tix in Neyland and taught me love for all things UT. I went to most every home UT game with my grandpa until I turned 15, became a partying punk kid and wanted to spend my time partying with friends. I missed out on a lot of the last years of my grandparents lives which I regret but they did meet my eventual wife that I started dating at 19.

TL,DR

Very cool read. Did you ever find it ironic that your grandparents were psychiatrists and your parents were schizophrenic? Genuinely curious.
