LV has made it a point a few times to say that he likes to throw gas on the fire to make things interesting for his own entertainment. So, if you wonder why he goes around and repeats the same nonsense over and over for no apparent reason, it's simply because he's trolling for his own entertainment.

I may be wrong, but I think LV loves UT, loves VN, and loves to discuss UT things on VN. It's hard to "discuss" things when everyone agrees completely. He takes a stance and then sticks to it, which keeps VN from completely stalling out this time of year. He isn't mean or rude and doesn't rattle off stupid ideas just for the sake of argument. LV is all good in my book.

LV is just hoping for the day TG tweets about how there are some lame UT fans on a message board and UT is sliding down his list.. His life will be fulfilled.

I like a good discussion exchange at times. Sometimes I have to initiate the topic for discussion. At times a little gas on the fire helps to get things cranked up. I don't deny it. Troll? Nah.

VN exists only for my own entertainment, from my perspective. There is nothing necessary about this. One could say it's not for entertainment, it's a place to get info. However, it's info about a game. And if I understand what a game is, it's only for entertainment (unless you happen to be one of the tiny percentage of people who get paid to play).

I have said if the staff ends up taking TG, I'll cheer for the kid just like I do any Vol. Just because I don't think he transitions well to QB in the SEC does not mean I wish bad things for the kid. IF Woods were not to get his issues worked out and the staff offered TG as the #2 WR for the class? Alright, that would at least make more sense to me. I have long felt TG was headed to osu if they would wait for him to decide. With it looking like they will not, maybe UT is his landing spot.

I agree. It is largely entertainment and I like to have some fun with it/the folks on here at times.

What's your point? I gave my perspective on why LV drones on and on about the same topics over and over. Of course we're all here for information and entertainment. I didn't say or imply otherwise.

I thought your statement, "he's trolling for his own entertainment" was meant to be pejorative (trolling has a pretty negative connotation). If not, I apologize for my response.

I think everyone on here likes a good discussion exchange at times. People wonder why you go on and on about subjects that you've made your stance on very clear already, and I gave my opinion of why you do that using your own words. Throwing gas on the fire for your own entertainment sounds like trolling to me. Maybe you have a different term for it, maybe it's just semantics. Intentionally getting people stirred up for your own entertainment sounds like trolling to me.

It wasn't meant to be insulting. I understand that the term has a negative connotation, but I was really just explaining why I think he does it using his own words. If someone intentionally riles people up on a message board for their own entertainment, I think it's fair for me to point it out.

Why does everyone seem to think you have to have future NFL qb potential to be an SEC qb? Aren't there only like 5 NFL starters from the SEC? Something similar to that?

I don't think a HS QB headed to college has to have NFL potential to be successful in college. It's 2 very different games. At the NFL level everyone is the best of the best. At the college level you have a few best of the best sprinkled in among the guys who will be selling insurance in the near future.

I just think a lot of people on here are picturing the Tyler Bray offense that threw the ball all day and not our current offense. The offense that attempted the 2nd fewest pass attempts in the league and attempted about 120 more rushes than passes last year.

30-35 passes a game and IMO we would be fine. 30-40 carries by the RBs a game would be fine IMO. Much the same way CBJs QBs at CM and Cinci did, 4-5 carries a game by the QB is plenty. With good OL/TE/WR blocking, just about any QB can gain about 20 yards on 5 carries and pick up 2 1st downs on 3rd and short.

It has nothing to do with gas or trolling or entertainment where LV is concerned. He is a numbers man. He likes counting his posts and answers to his posts. Whatever he can say to get higher numbers he will say it. I'd bet he has a wall full of charts that are full of numbers about all these posts. He can probably look at a chart and tell us exactly how many total words he has in all the posts that he's made since he's been on VN. I'm not saying he's a bad poster, it's just all about numbers to him.

I think with the running back stable we're building 30-35 is too many. I'd rather see 25-30 and more rushing attempts.

Butch and Co threw the ball a lot more at CM than at cincy, probably cause of Dan LeFevour being a beast. Their last two seasons they were in the 25-30 passes and 35-40 rushes range.
