Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Do you know what a bandog is? It has a bite force of 730psi, just behind a kangal's 743psi. Compared to a gorilla's 1,300. . .

Also, a kangal looks like such a nice dog, makes you wonder how it can bite so hard, til you see it standing next to a man. . .

Meet the giant Ovcharka. Russians used to use them to keep prisoners in check. AKA Caucasian Shepard dog. Cute and cuddly till they ain't.

Typical Vanderbilt clown. Not sure how anything that happened this weekend in a closely contested series proved their school values baseball more. Because of a 2 hour weather delay on a Sunday night that had a smaller crowd stick around?

His show on 102.5 in Nashville is awful, dating back to Jared and the GM when Floyd Reese was cohost.

All they did was get on and sh*t on Titans decisions post Floyd, sh*t on Vols, and just have a know it all air about them.

I actively avoid 102.5 because of that show and have found 104.5 a better alternative for Nashville sports radio.

Hard to argue with Ramon Foster on 104.5 AM and Ron Slay on 104.5 PM.

Anyways. Screw Jared. He’s a bum.

On beisbol,

Fold in more talent. We'll be fine.

League is just better this year.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Being realistic of where we stand my best case scenario is we host a regional and get a rematch with Vandy in Nashville for the Super Regionals.

 

[MarcoVol]

I would guess Tony is mad about it.

Should’ve clarified any *fan*.

I’d venture a guess that everyone in the clubhouse is mad about it.

I can't listen to him. His takes are horrid, he says crazy stuff just so people get fired up, he didn't believe half the things he says, he can't because their so easily dissected.

104.5 is much better radio, in every possible way.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

I've been in Nashville a while now and haven't once listened to 102.5

So it's like...Vandy hot take radio?

 

[KB5252]

Ok everyone, name your "walk-up song"

I'll start it off with a couple of old songs I think are perfect.

"Strokin"

"Swingin"

It's not even that, Vandy isn't relevant enough in anything to occupy more than an hour during the day on that station. It's just like shock jock sports radio with stupid takes and it doesn't help the "big draw", Stillman sounds exactly like what I imagine a pedophile would sound like.

 

[85SugarVol]

MJ, and then Kareem due to position.
Bird & Magic next.
Then Duncan.
I’ll take Kobe as my 6th man

You can tell that even that Vandy idjit doesn't believe what he is saying. He's pleading for attention.

Tuesday against Belmont is Senior Day for Vols baseball.

Vols have 1 senior.

The Chinese have a very similar looking guardian dog as well.

Guardian breeds have become my favorite, I've read a little about these guys and they appear to be a very loyal member of the family when raised right..... But fierce protectors.

 

[KB5252]

Stalking of livestock guardians there is high demand for them here currently. People suspect a mountain lion has entered our area of Southern Mid Tennessee. TWRA has confirmed at least 3 kills from what they say is likely large cat.

A woman who lives 30 miles away to my southwest has lost two goats. If you live in Southern Mid Tennessee keep your pets and livestock safe.

Happy Monday

May 12, 2025: Issues that you have been dealing with and fussing over will begin to fade like the sun going down...slowly, but surely. And, you will wake up to a new day with renewed possibilities and hope. Healing will be the order of the day as you lean on the Lord and trust the process. Luke 1:78-79 because of the tender mercy of our God by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.

League is just better this year.

The SEC is a killer this season.

This was a roster rebuild year that Tony made more competitive through the portal. You cannot lose 8 guys to the draft with most in the top 5 rounds and not feel the effects. Add in the lost leadership and experience. They have shown very little team chemistry this season. The hot start was great, but apparently they never found themselves as a team.

They have totally forgotten the value of defense, especially in the IF, to go with the spotty pitching. Other than Doyle, this staff was not ready for big boy ball. Regardless of their coaching philosophy, you have to develop pitchers to hold runners and get the ball to the plate quicker from the stretch. The easy stolen bases by any opponent who can run has been ridiculous.

One week to go to get it together the best they can.

Hair of the Dog. I think this should be our 4th quarter song too.
