Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Have a great time, McGill, and return refreshed and full of special memories! It should be beautiful.

I'm gonna do my best I've been feeling ground to a nub lately...we are not actually cruising until Sunday, but we drove down Wednesday night so we could spend a few days with our kiddo and our friends. We have a ton of long time close friends down here.


Weird that we've been gone 8 years and it still feels like I'm coming home when I drive across the Courtney bridge or Howard Franklin bridge.

I agree and disagree. Mental health isn’t treated the way it should be. Suicide is at an all time high in teens (90% male) and I wish we took more actions to prevent it.

Aaaand...that has not a damn thing to do with this turd.

I've had to deal with mental health issues with my step-mother for 35 years. I hate when lazy po people use an actual sickness for a crutch...it hurts the poor people that actually have real issues.

He’s butthurt, but he’s not wrong.

He’s not wrong, but “the B1G should be just as corrupt as the SEC” doesn’t help his case as much as thinks it does.

I think mine is Tennessee o14.5pts in the 1st half.

You can get UT o13.5 1st half points for -140 now.

Tennessee o14.5 1st half pts is +$ @ +105

Are you serious with these refs?

The sooner the naysayers realize that CFB is rigged..the better. It is a disgusting pile of now.

College football has been ruined by the officiating and I think they have been directed. Another year like this ,it will not be worth watching.

Exactly...welcome to the "Eyes wide open" club.

i mean, it was between this or giant gerbil bowls in a tree. God sorta went with status quo here

Wonder if they get jelly of elephants.

But, but….he’s amusing in his fandom of just one player, what he misses out on, is that while he touts ONE VFL, he downgrades Hobbs with his endless obsessive drivel and neglects about our other ones. Okay you have a point. I’m firing up the ole ignorant machine. Yes, I meant ignorant.

Edit: I’m sorry RF regulars, that was over the top.

Lol...that was not over the top, you need me to give you some lessons? I'm free on Tuesdays at 6...

We do so many things so well that mostly go unnoticed.

You taking it? I’m worried about 29.5 total. Think it could be a lower scoring game.

The guy literally tells you his mental state is so awful that he doesn't respond for 2 weeks...

And your response is to kick him off the team? There are things bigger than football. Maybe take a second to listen to the kid. Then maybe sit him the rest of the season (probably best for him anyway).

But to take EVERYTHING (team, scholarship, school, his entire life as a ~20 year old) away from him at his LOWEST POINT...yeah that's f'ing despicable.

So we spend a ton of money and a couple of years digging for Pruitt dirt then the NCAA keeps us hanging for an eternity and we get probation and schollies cut. Michigan, on the other hand, has their case fully investigated and gets a coach suspended for 3 games in a couple of weeks? Then it's "nothing to see here, move along, it's over and done"? How many wins did they cheat in and win? How much money did they fall into by cheating? How much money did their cheating cost opponents? All this and it's a 3 game suspension? Sorry but that's not even a slap on the wrist and it's a total farce.

I decided to tell my pastor a Friday joke. So, I said, why is Friday such a happy day? He shrugged. So, I said, because the next day is always a sadder day. He did not even smile so I asked him if he got the joke. He said, Oh yes, I got it. However, I only laugh at Good Friday jokes.

Sounds awesome. Where in Central Amer?

How to speak Bubba Escobar:

Escobar: "Headed to Central America for a little family vacation. Now, looks at this shiny little picture."

What he really means: "Flying to Colombia empty handed and flying back to Miami with more white powder than yer momma can fit on her fat face!!"

Hey VN...........

I don't do stuff like this, but I know the love and compassion on this forum.

I have to put down my golden lab Phoebe today after 15 years. She truly saved my life during some very difficult life experiences. She has been my best friend since the day I brought her home and will be missed more than anyone can imagine.
Some thoughts and prayer would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
