OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

Two names that have been floated out there:

USF QB Byrum Brown. Got injured last season but threw for 3300 yards, 26 TD while rushing for 800 yards and 11 TD in 2023.

Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson threw for 3100 yards, 28 TD while rushing for 200 yards and 4 TD in 2024.
There’s gotta be some unspoken rules there. Would we take Golesh’s QB? Odds are he’d have some conceptual familiarity with the offense, but still.
 

My "Cool Story Bro" moment. When I lived in Kennesaw, GA my neighbor played football for Valdosta State. One of his team mates, Chad Tanner, had hunting land in Sandersville, GA. I used to get invitations to hunt when they needed the doe herd reduced, and would go to have get away weekends.

Keith Brooking (LB) and Todd Peterson (K) from the Atlanta Falcons and their agent had hunting property on one side of my friends land. and John Rocker had property adjacent to that. Rocker and Chad didn't along very well. Rocker would come over sometimes at night around the campfire, but he would have fits or roid rage and would get out of hand.

I talked with Rocker on several occasions and hunted wild hogs on his land one weekend. Also met Todd Peterson and his entire family. They always had a crew there. I never got to meet Keith Brooking.

I was talking with Todd Peterson's wife, and she said her son's name was Quinn. I told her my son's name was also Quinn. I asked how they chose the name and she told me it was a family name from West Tennessee. I said my son's name sake is exactly the same. But before we could finish our conversation, her Quinn fell of a four wheeler and Mom was in action.

My Mothers family is from Cowan, TN. Mama Quinn was the Matriarch and is my Great Great Grand Mother. I have always wondered if I was related to Todd Peterson's Wife in some way. She was a smoke show, by the way.

Miss Mary Bobo in Lynchburg, TN is also part of the family, my Aunt (Mom's Sister) married into the Bobo family.

Long story short, Rocker was always polite to me, but most folks down there didn't care for him too much because of this temper.
 
I'm seeing on Facebook right now that Mile DeBord has passed away at 69.
Can't confirm if that's true or not bc I've learned Facebook is not the most
truth telling media platform out there. Can anyone confirm if true or not?
One of Tennessee FB groups posted about him passing.
 
of all the Zakai Zeigler moments last season, these 3 minutes may have been the Zakai Zeigler-est

• 9 PTS
• 3-3 3FG
• 3 AST
• 2 STL
• Vols outscored Georgia 17-3

 
I don’t even hate the kid. I just think he is surrounded by idiots.
His “team” failed to read the room. I also think the NIL valuations presented as facts by On3 generated unrealistic expectations in a rapidly changing market. Having hugely benefitted on the front end of a new system apparently wasn’t enough.

Rocks. Kick them.
 
Looking good for the series this weekend!
Cloudy skies, no rain, and highs in the mid-80s.
But winds will generally be from the SW, blowing in from right field the whole weekend.

As for the game time forecast where each of y'all live...
conditions exist for a supererogatory threat of chimerical air-to-ground lightning that needs to be respected. For your own safety, you need to come in from any outside work during the game.
