FOR NEW RECRUITS & VN

[HooahVol]

Since this thread is kind of about recruiting would it be frowned upon to start an early signing day thread here or do I need to keep clicking back and forth to the recruiting forum? The next 72 hours is kind of a big deal and seems like by far and away the most relevant topic to Tennessee football this week.

Hey - I know it's not a popular opinion to share on here, but I also know that many actually have it. Regardless, you seem like a super nice guy, and so I'm not ripping you for sharing the video. I'm just venting. I don't think he's being 100% truthful, as I think he has revised a lot of his story for it to fit his motivational narrative.

And for OrangeDog, yeah I don't post a lot and I probably use this board very differently than you or others might. These interactions and posts check the "absurd side of life/sports" box for me. Glad it's enlightening though, "OrangeDog."

So you callin' Inky a liar too??? Wow..Just….Wow

If you have facts/info to back it up feel free to post it..If not, lay off the Inky conspiracy BS........

BTW..If Inky bothers you so much why in the hell do you keep watching/following?? A suggestion? Just ignore him if it stresses you out so much.....

Flame Away!!!!!!

Something that resonated with me in this video was when he talked about saying "I'm good," because he knew he left everything on the field. Similarly, if I never have to watch another Inky Johnson video for the rest of my life, "I'm good!"

Goodness, gracious. I get it. We all get it. What happened was tragic, and he's made the most of his circumstances, but he needs to either evolve in this motivational speaking thing - or get to doing something else. The message is tired, it's based on this foolish premise that he had his current level of maturity and wisdom during his late teens/early 20's, and it just can't be healthy to stay trapped in 2006. It's not like he was ever going to be an NFL player (contrary to some of the tall tales that he and others have floated out there), so life after football was always going to be necessary. Kudos to him for extending his level of influence as long as he has, but given the choice, I'd rather hear some new music from Swiperboy, than to watch another video from Inquoris.

Certainly entitled to your opinion but I don't think its required to watch or read Inky and still be a Vol fan. If his story bothers you that much maybe try to avoid it.....I guess....Merry Christmas!!

Gary more or less admitted he’s just saying things to get a reaction. He uses this board to troll. Don’t feed his dipshitery

Haha. Yes, it's the old "total message count" and "number of motivational talks given" that measures your connection to the university... I forgot about that. Here I thought education was a part of the equation.

Oh, and nothing I said was wrong. I've noticed that's still not been disputed.

Not much use in “disputing” an opinion. Everyone has one.

I'm not sure what being happy for someone has to do with anything here. I'm not happy that he experienced what he did. That was tragic. As far as his ability to make lemonade, that's freaking fantastic and he should be credited with what he's accomplished. I've just heard about it. Like a lot. And no one seems to ever 1) call out the misinformation stated about who he was as a player, and 2) the unlikeliness of some of the responses quoted with such specificity a decade-plus later. No doubt I'm cynical, so my lens isn't pure - but I know there's a few more than me and my other friend (I wish there was 2) that feel this way. It's called inky fatigue. Look it up.

Perhaps I missed that part. What misinformation was stated about him. Your second point, unlikeliness of some of the responses quoted with specificity, doesn't make sense to me. Are you up for explaining?
