im sorry that the modern day world doesn't allow much emotion to be formerly displayed throughout the lexicon of american language. the truth in online communication is that any type of sentence can be construed with intonation or with flat out lack of emotion.

That was the most well versed sentence without proper capitalization or punctuation I've ever read.

wait wait WAIT! i just did my share of freaking out but why are we exactly? because skeeter said it is looking like Tennessee has a tall order or something like that? he didn't say "Sal sucked. Sh*t everywhere. Ruined furniture. Tennessee is out."

Well if he indeed does go to TU, I hope he enjoys playing from a 3 point stance or dropping into pass coverage 70% of the time.

No options for him at Texas -- he will be a DE all the way because their LB's need to be able to drop back into coverage often and handle it well. I am sure Santos knows that even if he is being told he will be a LB.

When he gets there he will be told he needs to drop his weight down to 225-230 if he wants to play LB -- that is like me being told that I need to get to 175. Ain't gonna happen.

It's all good bro. I understand your emotions over this. All it shows, is that you are passionate about Vol Football. Some may not see it that way, but that's how I see it.

I would like to know one way or another. Linebacker as a position has been addressed the last two classes. I would love to see Dalton in the mix as well. It looks unlikely and it is also my opinion he won't be a linebacker again in his football career. He and AJ would have been nice to stack up against the Bama rushing game.

if he is comfortable with this, then i'm comfortable with him not being a vol. well not really. i think the kid has a better shot at well...life! here and i'm not saying that because my team may get dumped. i'm saying it because it is the truth. who knows? with mccullers on the line, santos may not have seen much action anyway. i dont think too many are gettin past the DL.

Well let's hope there was a greater plan for all of this. If so, I can let my emotions pass by, relishing in the belief that I am living a great dream as an American.

I'm sure there is a plan. We are sitting with good LBers, and have great prospects waiting in the wings. I would have loved to have gotten him, but it is what it is.... Room for more.
