Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[MoCo_Vol]

You would have gotten much more respect and good dialogue if you worked up to it instead of coming in like a wrecking ball.

Just ease up a bit and let someone else take the attention off you and you’ll be better received. Heck, might even make the circle jerk of trust at some point, assuming you build a gif repertoire…

The "let me ask a question" then "attack the person who responses" bit is tiring. Ya want views or clicks; a free forum is really a weird spot to set up shop...

There is nothing funny about this. I pray for Tony and all others that have the grip of the devil around their throat. That lie the bottle or substance tells you. The short-term peace of helping you erase the day/stress and fall asleep only to have the nightmare rush back with a fever at 2am. The lost jobs. The lost friends. The loss of self-esteem and self-control. The numbing of proper emotion and waves of unchecked sadness, fear, and anger.

I've been there. It was a great coping mechanism. Until it wasn't. I am grateful to God that he gave me the strength to quit before I suffered all of those losses. Now my goals are clear, and I am keeping life simple now. I have a new relationship with myself. An addict will not quit until the pain of the addiction is greater than the pain of the recovery. I read that recently.

Pay attention to those you love the most. Like me, many didn't know I had a problem. Only 2 people did. My Lord and myself. An addict will lie and hide their addiction from everyone. The truth set me free. Now I am the husband, father, boss, and servant I want to be.

Pray for Tony and all like him.

Amen and amen. This is an amazing testimony. For all the failures we have in sin, the power of forgiveness and newness of life through Jesus should be highlighted every day, all day.

Speaking of gameday threads…someone will need to take over that responsibility going forward. I’m in the middle of starting/opening my practice, and I will unfortunately not have time to do those anymore. Anyone want to volunteer not named @Glitch?

Question, can they be started 3 minutes after the end of the previous game?

This is called false equivalency. The reason that people all over the world, not just this forum, always "don't read or attempt to process what you type" is not about the other people. The only thing consistent in every one of those scenarios is that YOU are the one typing/speaking.

In today's society there isn't a single example of something which wouldn't be considered a false equivalency, but thanks for the pretension sermon, Khatib. IIIIII's mighty appreciative.

I had no idea that he had taken the ST coach job at USC . I heard Lincoln Riley talk about what a big hire it was for them. I thought he wanted to be home in Nebraska? LA isn’t exactly Lincoln. We’ve done nothing on ST since he left, with the exception of the bowl kick return. Don’t know why he really needed to leave .

I think he’s a just a nomad. Stayed here long enough to see his daughter graduate then left.


If we have Ekeler last year, we win 2 more games. I’ll trust Heup this year with his guy, but while he was making sweeping changes, it woulda made sense to hire a top ST coach. Crabtree was a fill-in promotion. He’s on the clock, IMO.

I caught the start of the Romo body cam footage last night... he basically got arrested because he wanted to call his lawyer about the request to do a field test. The officer arrested him with zero reason other than "because I can"

No desire to be in any circles or to make friends with people. My love for Vols athletics is the only reason I've read through much of yuns' comments for 15 years on here. I'll likely go back to lurking, per usual, as the season arrives.

 

[VolatileVol]

But we won! A come back win at that. And you got to see AK and Dobbs live

I've been blessed to watch a ton of Vols football in person over the years. My favorite Dobbs game was probably in Columbia in 2014 where we cameback and won in overtime. Still stuck in crappy ass Columbia, but that one felt special. Best road game was probably South Bend in 1991 for a couple reasons, but I REALLY enjoyed every trip to Notre Dame.

lol. I know college and professional umpires. She’s a joke. Laugh all you want but she’s a dei hire.

Is every bad male ump a dei hire also?

I’m sure there is a woman who could be a dang good ump. But earn it and be one of the best in the minors first. She was ranked like the bottom 30 percent in the minors.

That's the problem with DEI. It checks a box in the short term, but if it wasn't based on merit, it sets back that gender/ethnicity/etc...in the eyes of people who have their bigotry validated.

There's no reason men would make better umps than women. There are tons who would be just as good as the best male ump. This particular one just isn't one of those.

Unfortunately these officials who represent the "law" are above reproach or accountability for errors.

If a player oversteps they are punished and often nearly immediately. But if an ump or ref blows a call that changes the outcome of a game what's the punishment and where is the accountability? A lot of "above the law" exist and it is frustrating to see.
