Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I did not, but I'm gonna start weighing them from now on, they're getting big enough now. I'm guessing maybe a pound and a quarter or so, maybe a bit bigger. She was pretty fat.

Crazy watching them grow. They're basically pets,

I know right, its the biggest aquarium I've ever had. I kind of feel like I ought to start naming them.

Asking for prayers. Mom is 97 years old and was hospitalized 10 days ago with double pneumonia. Last Sunday we determined there was nothing else to do and switched over to Hospice/Comfort Care. She hasn't eaten or drank anything since then and its still hanging on. They have told us 24-48 hours more than once in the last week. Asking for God to give us Peace and Trust His timing. Also prayers in dealing with family members who are lost and are not handling this very well. THANKS

Praying for peace for you and your family and may your mom have all the comfort in this time.

My deepest sympathies. God's peace and comfort be upon your entire family.

So to anyone that has insight/experience -

How do I get rid of the armadillo that’s digging holes in my yard?

Do I just shoot the damn thing? Hit it with a shovel? Hang some voodoo chicken bones at the perimeter?

Man I finally found a full version of the Tennessee osu game, I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Eason didn’t grab Howard’s facemask when sacking him on 3rd down. It would’ve been a 3 & out and who knows what would’ve happened after

 

[JCVol00]

AND WHY DID WE HAVE GIBSON COVERING SMITH SO MUCH????

If I were the coaches I would’ve had mccoy on him literally every snap

I won't go into details, but if you know, you really know, you DEEP down understand what I'm about to say..........

I got one of those "WINS" at work life today.

They are rare.
They are elusive.
It's the one customer, member, family member, "old friend", etc.......... that gets in touch, or calls once a year to 16 months for a freaking decade........Always on a Sunday. The conversation always gets heated to the point you want to throw the next person you see through the glass window of the gol.....er...."office" window. You can only say so much without getting fired, or 86xed from family, but you push the envelope. But you know you can't win. Your pissed for the next 2 days because you relive it on Monday with your shrink on how pissed it made you feel...............

You replay the next conversation over and over on lonely drives or when there is nothing on TV. Each time it happens, you learn his tricks, you gain a little knowledge each time he calls. He notices, and changes tactics, you get hit and stumble, but you rebound. You last longer, but he still "wins" in the end.

Finally, after years of gaining knowledge and rehearsing it over and over, you think you're ready.

I call is received. You immediately recognize the voice after the first syllable, and instincts take over. Every question is promptly answered perfectly. He countered. I had the perfect answer. Every single time.
He was down. He knew he'd been knocked down. He said, "Well. I'll have to look into that more closely. Thank you for your time."

I freaking won.

Now....I plan the next call...................I have the upper hand for the first time!



EDIT:
It would be a great short Netflix series.

Seriously tho, highly recommend the book Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. It’ll give perspective on these types of relationships.

OSU was constantly playing 10 yards off the ball, I wish we would have attacked that better by running hitch routes and bubble screens

I am the true Dalai Lama, not that communist impostor. I saw Bama's recruiting while checking on ours. And I live in Knoxville, home of the University of Tennessee, while you live closer to Vanderbilt...

Also, it seems Tod and Kim heard about your hip replacement; I just saw them hitchhiking through on their way to see you...

I got in on the ground floor of the Iron Dome tech and have it programed to detect and eliminate Tod and Kim should they come within 100 miles of my beloved Middle Tennessee. As far as proximity to Knoxville, I am down here doing the Lord's work kicking nasty bammer fans back down into the hellscape that is bammerland where they belong. You enjoy the blanket of freedom I provide and then question the manner in which I provide it.

Mike Honcho in NYC might be just what that city needs.

Let Tod and Kim camp out in your landscaping for a couple nights. It will get rid of the armadillo, but it does come with a whole different set of problems.

You will need an Iron Dome soon.

I find zero reason to doubt your post and am willing to take it at face value. Weezer is a notorious non-UT fan.

I’ve had them, and I’ve spread chili powder around my yard. They don’t see well and use smell to move. They don’t like chili powder.
