Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[VolGee4]

For those saying CTV will not have more resources in San Francisco are wrong.. The Giants offered Ohtani the same 10 year/ $700 million dollar contract the Dodgers did. Ohtani just choose the Dodgers. Same scenario with Aaron Judge offered same contract the Yankees did but stayed with Yankees..

Maybe TV can help seal the deal with these big money FA's the Giants are looking for...

They couldn’t land them though, and their payroll is much lower currently. The Dodgers are in their division. Very much comparable to UT/Arkansas when Arkansas pays just as much.

I think it’s complicated.

I have not seen where they confirmed they are “together” but Layla is splitting her time between Mississippi where Knox is playing HS football staying in Lane’s home and her Manhattan Beach, Ca home where their daughter is enrolled at USC playing volleyball.

But they sure post a bunch of family pictures together in Mississippi looking like a couple.

Interwebs says it back togetherence.

Hell, I hope their super happy.

The NBA stuff seems to have been tipped off by gamblers, noting strange betting patterns on money coming in Terry Rozier's prop unders, before exiting a game early with a foot injury.

People will obviously point to this as evidence of pro sports being rigged. To me, it shows how hard it is to get away with it. You've got thousands of PhD super nerds watching the money and the results for stuff like this. If you're going to make real money off of rigging games (which is the only way to offset the risk), the betting world is going to notice it.

Can’t believe you kept going back and forth. You’re not going to change anyone’s opinions even if you hit them with facts. Truth is likely in the middle between Tony and DW. I’ll get the scoop soon. Tony is very close with my neighbor and I’ve been fortunate to hang with him a few times because of it.

Saying anything, I mean anything negative about anyone associated with UT is a big no no.

I stated several times both owned some of the blame.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Did you notice who is in the beackground, over my right temple?

 

[RandomUTfan]

I wish I could get a job making $50k/yr and somehow how have $300m in my account in about 5 years. . .

I think that is what attracted Paul Finebaum to the idea of running for Senate. Different numbers. Exact same concept.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Ahhhh,

How can I be mad at someone who clearly needs to exercise exercising? Props bro. Now cut carbs and sugar out of your diet.

We will see after the World Series during Free Agency if they are going to be big players this off season..

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

for the first time, I’m absolutely ashamed to be part of this fanbase. The loud portion of fans wanting to run out the best AD we’ve had in forever is downright embarrassing.

The EVERY SCHOOL HAS THEM subset of the VOL fanbase are just doing their thing. The balance of the fanbase and the more intelligent outsiders have a firm grasp on reality.

Their pronouncements need to be moderately offset in public but approaching bridge edges is not necessary. Haters going to hate with eye rolls in tow.

Like I said, pay attention to Low. He retweeted this:

Like I said, pay attention to Low. He retweeted this:

I'm sure it's Elander, but DW likes a good search. Nothing like spending a few hundred k$ to a search firm for a hire everyone in the sports world already knows you should make.

 

[rockytop25]

Like I said, pay attention to Low. He retweeted this:

Hopefully, if DW starts going the opposite direction, Plowman/Boyd steps in and takes over/changes his mind.

Plowman, especially, seems really in touch with the fanbase and student athletes

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I'm sure it's Elander, but DW likes a good search. Nothing like spending a few hundred k$ to a search firm for a hire everyone in the sports world already knows you should make.

Ironically, the several hundred thousand dollars he’ll use to line the pockets of useless search firms could have been re-allocated to the baseball program through some smart accounting and have been a piece of the solution to keep Tony. Instead, we’ll give that money to some suits to tell us the answer we all know and aren’t being paid for…

 

[BigOrange15]

Meaning fbi said get your shite together or we’ll do it for you. Greg Sankey better watch out!

Yeah with how much money flows there it’s to be expected.





Alright here comes my conspiracy theory cynic brain. You can find this comment in the off topic thread later today I’m sure. Anyone else see shades of the Roman Empire with the US? Intrinsic wealth divide between elitist class and general public at all time highs. All the peasants distracted, glued to sports. Resurgence in religion. Rampant corruption. Etc etc

Shades?

Also, not the only historical event I see shades of iykwim.

No way it's Elander. DW and he haven't spoken since yesterday when they nodded to each other over Ham Sandwiches.

'You got any mustard?' 'See what I did there; mustard?'

Then things got tense and quiet, during that awkward long pause. 'Sooo, how bout those Giants?'

So awkward.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

You like to smoke wieners?


No judgement.

You ever have the smoky dog? Best weiner there is.

Yep...... just like when Neyland Stadium shoots fireworks during the daytime. Danny loves to blow that money.

+10% coaching search fee coming to your baseball season tickets soon.

Feed the ball to Bishop!!

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Him being 3rd best in the SEC at Ole Miss since he’s been there while winning a NY6 bowl should make everyone nervous. If he goes to a better job then yeah it should make you nervous. We’re 2-2 against the damn gators the last 4 years as it is… their record during that time?
6-7 - 38-14 L
6-7 - 38-33 W
5-7 - 29-16 L
8-5 - 23-17 OT W. That isn’t exactly great as it is now. They get a legitimate coach and the odds that looks worse heighten

Should be noted that we don't play Florida every year anymore

You're right, enough about the Giants and the baseball head coach vacancy.. let's discuss what everyone gets a big hard on over the Corrupt Officials...

 

[RandomUTfan]

I wonder if Tony wrote down a number and said, "Give me that." for the roster, not personal salary.
