Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Volbucky]

Considering that wearing my seat belt is just plain old good sense and i would do it anyways, it's a little hard to get bent out of shape over it being a law.

If you would do if anyways then why do you need a law to make you?

 

[Jack Burton]

Just curious, but does diabetes run in your family? Also, are you on a statin for cholesterol?

Western medicine is slowly finally starting to recognize Alzheimer’s by a name that Europe and others have referred to it for years…Type 3 diabetes.

Is sugar consumption a factor in this type 3 diabetes?

If you would do if anyways then why do you need a law to make you?

Only devils advocate statement I'm going to make is this:

If there are other passengers in a car, you've become a human-sized projectile if you are not buckled. Passengers have been severely injured and killed by other passengers who weren't buckled. So in that scenario it isn't just a personal decision.

Additionally, if there is an accident that should've been a minor incident and someone has a severe injury or death due to not being buckled - that increases the punishment for the driver at fault IF not wearing a seatbelt isn't illegal. In the least there's more court requirements to argue and prove the outcome wouldn't have been as bad had they used the safety equipment but that won't change the effect it will have on someone for their involvement in the wreck.


so I see both sides to the argumemt. At the end of the day, nobody riding in my vehicle unbuckled unless we aren't on the road. And I prefer not to ride in a vehicle with other's unbuckled because I don't want to be domed by a 200lb crash test dummy.

I didn't say it did, just that the law bothers me not at all.

That said, if it's not going to be a law, people who don't wear their seatbelts and who don't have medical insurance should be barred from hospital treatment. Why should the taxpayers have to foot the bill for that kind of stupidity?

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

The latter was the point of reference. Telling him you’re an UT grad from that time frame gets you dropped off into the Caribbean. Saying you’re from DFW gets you stories over a Heineken Light.

So lead with the Cowboys…


Then finish him with the Vols! Since I was at that Sugar Bowl, cannot go unmentioned if I get the chance.

Got it.

I choose not to do meth but whatever you choose to do is up to you…. I was talking more in general…

My kids youth church group for example..

1.a person fell out of a raft while white rafting… no more white water rafting.
2. a person broke an ankle skating….. no more roller akating

we can’t ride in the back of truck around cades cove.

we have four foot high plastic scoots instead of slides at the park.

My mom use to dress up the kids like they were ready to disarm a bomb while riding their bike with training wheels on her drive way.

The list goes on and on.

Helicopter parenting and litigious society. It sucks.

Falling out of the raft is kinda a major part of whitewater rafting. It's not a lazy river float. They give you helmets and life vests for a reason.

Let me guess? No ropes courses because someone fell off the ropes?

Lawnmower parenting is worse than helicopter parenting.
The lawnmower parent tries to mow down and potential obstacles before their kids even know it exists.
The two groups of parents drove me nuts in coaching.
Drove me away from Scouts.

WW Rafting is a very dangerous thing. Even with helmets, river socks, and PFD seemed like someone drowns each year on the Nolichucky. Heck, grown ass men and women drown in Boone Lake, with no current.

Personally for me, I see a youth group not going WW Rafting. But there's also nuance to it.

Who is the company? What is the river? How many kids?

Right now, unless there's a dam release you'd probably be pushing the raft. Frankly, at these levels, you'd be better in a tube, floating the Little River.

Low water is dangerous because you can get caught easier. Normally where water would carry you over a keeper area, now you're in it.

End rant.

I swear the GoVols247 podcasts are immeasurably better when Wes Rucker isn’t on them.

They are still tough to listen too, compared to even Eric Cain. That said, ... Rucker.

You rang??

It is pronounced Ka-nigit.


@TN-POSSUM... any chance you can put my Glitch face on this gif? Danke.

I guess he just likes hanging around that place.

Rucker has a tendency to present a question in a way that tries to prove he already knows the answer to it. Its insufferable.

Hot take:

If a giant douche, turd sandwich, and cock gobbler could duke it out to the bitter end. Those 3 would be in the ring.

Also, taking any situation. Whether its asking said question, then framing the answer in example which puts yourself into the equation - every...single...time. Gets old AF. Like clockwork.

'Oh he's talking about oranges, Rucker will make this about himself in 5,4,3,2,1...'

Is sugar consumption a factor in this type 3 diabetes?

The western medical community is still wrestling with it, but there does appear to be a link between insulin resistance and type 3.

Sugar, ftr, is TERRIBLE for our bodies. Avoid it at all costs.

Type 3 Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease

Type 3 diabetes is the proposed name for a condition where type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease coexist. Learn about current research.

Desmond has Oklahoma and Texas making from the SEC in their first year. That's wishful thinking, and with DJ Uiagalelei as QB I don't think FL. State makes it over Clemson or Miami. Maybe we stomp NC State then they run over the rest of their schedule

That's a good one. I perceive lawnmower parents are the same ones who invented participation trophies for their kids so their kids wouldn't have to deal with the obstacle of not initially being good at something and having to work for success.

My parents used to give me the "your generation is the participation trophy generation" speech until I hit them back with, "No, your generation invented that for us. That isn't our fault. We didn't ask for them."

Yes you did. You cried like a baby when you didn't get what you wanted.

Equally as obnoxious are the PARENTS of kids, lined up hands outstretched to form an archway for kids to run through, whooping and hollering...

for the 4 & 5 yo girls soccer players to get riled up.

Yelling at coaches, players. **** me. No way.
