Prob not. Just that it seems far from over.

I just wouldn’t say that sounds like an outside chance. We’ve played the long game well with him.

Mushrooms are of the Earth. Did they not teach this to you at your substandard college of choice?

I will never be taking Goldy on another bet slip of mine.

All other betting services voided Suarez.

Bad luck man.

Speaking of…. Andy bowser apparently signed up to fight in the next Redneck Brawl in Johnson city.

Dude is 5’5” 110lbs soaking wet so he may have to fight a woman just for it to be fair.

I score high in judgement and struggle with this.

June 24, 2025: Remember that when you point your finger to criticize someone else, you have three fingers pointed back at you. I would have you to be forbearing and exercise restraint, for with the same measure you use it will be measured back to you. You get what you give. Luke 6:31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise

Listened to the podcast this morning hoping AP would give us a date where if recruiting hasn’t picked up we can panic. We are almost in July.

June 24, 1812
Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia was a disastrous military campaign that significantly weakened his empire. The invasion, launched with a massive army (440,000 to 600,000 troops,) ultimately failed due to a combination of factors including Russian resistance, strategic retreats, logistical challenges, and the harsh Russian winter. This resulted in catastrophic losses for Napoleon's Grande Armée and marked a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars.
Ironically........Nazi Germany invaded Russia on June 22, 1941............same disaster occurred for them as well.

Before them was Charles XII of Sweden who suffered a similar fate.

Why does everyone attack Russia in the Winter? Feels great here in S of France, in Sept. Think we'll go invade Siberia. Dumbassery.

They invade in June, they just underestimate the amount of time it will take them to win. The Russians always play a war of attrition and stall until winter. If you recall, when Russia invaded Ukraine they did it at the end of February, probably hoping they could move heavy equipment within range of Kiev on frozen ground before spring thaw then having most of the year to take the city.

There are a lot of Crimean Ukrainians in East TN. East TN is where the Vols are. I wonder if we will ever recruit one. There, relevant to the thread.

They don't... June 22 is in the summertime. The invaders underestimate the time it takes to take over Russia and they overestimate the length of the warm temperatures. It happens every time.

Doing my best to take a wait and see approach with recruiting.

@secking

any insiders feel like things could go really good for us, or about to get really ugly?

What's the feeling from the staff? i keep waiting for a heater.

Wonder if Oregon fans are questioning their staff’s recruiting and how they lost a recruit to BYU.

On another note, BYU is a sneaky player with NIL. #1 overall bball recruit and now a 5* QB.
