I think you are confusing a "logical argument" with a lawyer's brief. I am curious as to what part of this recent discussion you found to be "sickening." The posts in response to Ruby's plea deal have mainly been "that is a great outcome for Ruby. Now she can go on with her life" plus some comments related to when she might get back with the team.

What did you find "sickening" about such comments?

My sickening comment was made in response to another member's post stating, "I love how many attorneys we have on this board." I took that as tongue-in-cheek. Before I replied to that comment I noticed it was immediately followed by another lengthy post from you. I did not find any of your comments sickening as I did not read one word of that post, tho I sincerely believe they were probably astute and right on point. Apparently I struck a nerve with @deerpark, as I was also taken to task from that end. Interestingly enough, the two of you were the ones who came to mind when I made my comment. It seems there is some sort of competition to prove which is more knowledgeable about the Whitehorn matter. Do you remember that kid, probably around grade 5, who was jumping up and down,waving their hand, ask me, I know, I know, every time teacher asked a question? That was usually a very smart kid. But, to the rest of the students they were a pain in the butt. And, guess what? Lots of other kids knew the answer too. They just didn't need the constant validation.

I am sorry this thread has triggered your elementary school traumas.

But, if you don't like discussion and debate, then maybe "discussion boards" aren't really for you.

Sometimes I do wonder if more current lurkers-only would be more interested in posting here, or perhaps less intimidated to jump in, if some of us prolific regulars stepped back for a while to give new people a space they won't feel too "outsider-y" to speak up in. It's never easy to be the new person, but probably even less so when quite a few of us have been posting on LV boards since the 90s.

Now would be a tough time for me to take a step back with practice and visits coming up soon, but I'd definitely be willing to do it if some of the other longtime, prolific posters also thought it would be a worthwhile experiment to see if we could get more lurkers to come out of the shadows.

We could be the lurkers for a while and see what happens!

If I lived in Knoxville or even in state would most definitely have more to contribute than just lurking. By reading all comments I get more of a feeling of being present and informed. If everyone would like to hear how I despise longhorn fans by living inTexas I will be more than happy to resond.

No trauma here. I almost always knew the answer. You and deerpark need to let it go. Each of you has impressed me with how much you know about the law. I sincerely mean that. But let it go. For Pete's sake, enough is enough.

Let go of what exactly? This thread had gone quiet until the plea deal was announced and then there was a new round of discussion. What would you expect when this news has significant bearing on the LVs upcoming season?

You claim to not read the post from myself or Deerpark while also professing that these posts are a competition over who knew the most about the legalities of the case. Maybe I was posting recipes for red velvet cake and Deerpark was writing about his/her vacation travels for all you claim to know. What do you have against red velvet cake or vacations?

If you feel that this thread is an inappropriate, perhaps you should request that it be locked. .

When will she be eligible to return to the team?

“..has been suspended from the team indefinitely. Eric Trainer, women’s basketball associate director, confirmed…”

I don’t expect we will get a formal Expected Date of Return from Mr. Trainer. My expectation is that Coach Kim will explain in her next media availability press event.

As I said in the other thread last week, she was back with the team the day after the agreement in court was reached. There won't be a formal announcement.

Hi, new here, on Ruby’s Instagram story she posted today, she was in full uniform for their media/picture day whatever was going on. The twins & Janiah & KB also posted vids of them in full uniform on their respective stories, as well.

Welcome @VolTenn25!

Bring lots of grace for the rest of us, never start a thread with just a name, and use blue font when you're being sarcastic. (You'll think it's so obvious that you're not being serious, but you'd be surprised how head-scratchingly bizarre some takes will be.)

Oh. And accessing the Football Forum's "Official Game Thread" is not recommended without mental health clinical experience.

What practical advice did I leave out, y'all?
