Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

I carry a tripod with me everyday.

And you are cheap, so there you go.

Oh, he could sing. That's for sure. I'm mainly just saying that IMHO, for someone to be the king of rock and roll (or even a member of royalty), they needed to do more than sing other people's music.

Oh, so you’re talking about song writing?

 

[Orange_Crush]

He also played guitar and performed...seems like you're just saying "they need to write their own songs"

Yah. That's a lot of what I'm saying. Elvis was one of the best rockabilly performers, no doubt.

Not sure you call him "the King of Rock n Roll" when he was parroting the creations of those who were actually creating the rock and roll. (I don't know. Maybe that's the perfect title, since kings were generally known for profiting from the labor of others.)

Yesterday Swain was discussing Roman Harper’s “10-2” comment and said that he doesn’t think that’s realistic. Also said that if a Vol fan says “nah, I think 8 or 9 wins” then the fan police come out and say that they’re a NegaVol. Swain said that person is not being negative, he’s being realistic, and that’s better for the team. Ergo NegaVols are better fans FYI.

Also yesterday Tony B said the defense won’t be improved this year. Call in today to tell him why he’s wrong.

Happy Friday y’all.

The thing is, and you know this, that we don't want to be realistic. There are the numbnuts who get mad when the team does not reach their expectations, but most of us are optimistic and take the bad with the good. I am at 8-4 right now, but think 10-2 is very possible.

WTF.

Not sure why it would matter who wrote it if you were doing a masterful job with it. I know it’s easier to make it in the recording industry and have a longer career if you’re a songwriter writing your own songs. So it seems like for him to have decades of success like he did while having to rely on others writing the songs would be another achievement.

100% AGREE! I hate when the board delves into these discussions - well, I don't mind the discussion part but hate the judgmental part - like, "such & such is trash." I know some of it is in fun but there's always people that go too far. Everyone has different tastes in music, food, etc.

This post is trash.

Yeah, we can be realistic when it is reality. This is fantasy season!

Edit…okay, Glitch. No sad Tiggers today.

 

[peaygolf]

WTF.

Got to be a "flighted/handicaped" event...........

 

[BigSteve09]

Ah gotcha. I didn’t know the context of their losses last year just that they lost more than they won haha.

It's mostly stuff like this. Effort didn't match results.

 

[Ten_Titans]

WTF.

Imagine getting your ass beat by Beldar in poker. I'd be pissed.

Note my edit.

Elvis had a huge hand in promoting RnR in the beginning. I'm not sure he had much to do with actually creating it, which in my view is definitive in being regarded as the "king" of it. That's all.

As I see it, Elvis was a pretty face, good voice, and some flexible hips to cause controversy and attention. But we have RnR because of the bands and songwriters that were actually writing/creating rock n roll. If we want to crown folks, let's crown them, is all I'm saying.

'Coach we can...deliver...the cash...in Mcdonalds bags!'

'Who even eats there?'

'All in!'

He'd actually be leading the tournament if he could see the cards. Even after being given repeated instructions, and offered help, he still has his covid mask over his eyes.

 

[butchna]

Negavols don’t predict 9 WINS for us. They utilize the 3&3 method. Predicted 3 wins LAST SEASON and 3 years til the next coaching search.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

WTF.

Rumor has it that along with the prize money, the winner gets a lifetime supply of cornbread.

- Eric Cain

Hearing good things about Juwan Mitchell and the camp he’s having. Jeremy Banks is having a very solid camp and Elijah Herring is continuing to grow as a player.

Please, yes

 

[SoilVol]

Still can’t believe a NFL team didn’t give him a shot returning kicks

Would have to think he would be a lock for a two-way special teams ace. I'm just not sure how committed he was to being a great football player. Might've just been playing because he was good.

He had as much talent as Eric imo. He just never developed it into being a starting DB or WR. Would love to combine the work ethic and mentality of a guy like Emmanuel Moseley with the talent and athleticism of Evan Berry.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Please, yes

After hearing about Juwan being bought in, how good he looks and then that diving INT...I think it'll be hard to keep him off the field this year. He's just too talented.

 

[BigSteve09]

WTF.

wife probably slipping him chips

 

[drvenner]

I feel like we are losing a little momentum in recruiting. We are down to #10 or #11 in most polls and 4th in SEC. Any big prospects out there leaning our way? It is hard to get good recruiting news other than when players actually commit.

Every player has a thread. There are updates in most of them with some regularity.

 

[mykidturnedmeintoaVOL]

All this talk about bands and no one mentioned the Pride of the Southland as the best college band there is! New members start band camp today and Rocky Top will be echoing around campus by Sunday. We are officially less than 3 weeks until our first game!

 

[Weezer]

Ive been a member here since 2005, and havent been asked to join. Its pretty exclusive. You have to have a big IQ, and not be a moran.

@frank doesn't like you.

Him getting healthy and getting back to himself is like another win in the portal this year.
