Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[85SugarVol]

Do any of you ride a motor cycle? I'm buying one today from a guy that Johnny Blaze got his from. Just need to sign the paperwork. . .

Had a GSX-R600 back in the day. Lot of fun, but you can get yourself in trouble on one. I was young and dumb… mid 20’s living in Panama City Beach. It was cherry red. I miss it… sometimes lol.

So I’m assuming you’re advising taking out a loan against my home?

Delay the gratification and save up for it. Or DIY if you like projects. Financing consumer purchases takes away from your ability to build wealth and more easily afford such purchases down the road.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Good choice.

And his last sentence has "Volunteer For Life" lol.

No mention of Heup or any coaches for that matter which isn't a big deal imo.

Didn’t see that. It was cut off.

 

[Volbucky]

Bless him and the I’m sure the very hard and painful decision he had to make.

But, seems to be missing what I’m wanting to hear.

No VOLS. No VFL. No Heupel.

Click on the picture. It says “volunteer for life” at the bottom. Geez

I was always a dirt bike guy. Never saw the appeal of street bikes. . . mainly because of some accidents I saw as a kid.

A car backed out of their driveway near Mayflower Road onto Chapman Hwy in South Knoxville, by the duck ponds. . . right into a motorcycle. We drove by the wreck and I saw what looked like the nub of an arm. Read the New Sentinel the next day and the person was decapitated. I was looking at their neck. Never wanted to get on a street bike after that.

Saw another bad one where Magnolia turns into Asheville Hwy. Car pulled out of the grocery store parking lot, right in front of a biker. Clipped him and sent him into a guardrail or a guidewire, cut him in half. The bikers were doing nothing wrong either time.

Had one of these absolute beaut’s back in highschool - jacked up in the back just like this one. But mine was souped up with an 80cc cylinder. Would do about 90 kph.

The cover of the first Sports Illustrated, 1954.

The cover photo by Mark Kauffman features future Hall of Fame third baseman Eddie Mathews at the plate for the Braves at Milwaukee's County Stadium. The other two people are New York Giants catcher Wes Westrum and umpire Augie Donatelli.

Mathews turned out to be the only player to play for the Braves in each of the three cities the franchise called home: Boston, Milwaukee (where it lasted from 1953 to '65) and Atlanta. The Giants moved to San Francisco for the 1958 season.

hate that he has to retire and i wish him the best. VFL 100%.

@butchna

Pickens to Cowboys deal being finalized today. Thoughts ?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Bru's catch at the end of the Bama win is the best vol play of this millennium. He'll live forever.

I’ll never forget that. Or Ramels catch immediately before it.

My heart hurts for Bru. He’s the epitome of a VFL.

Happy Wednesday
May 7, 2025: You are adjusting to a new normal. Do not fight against it, but rather go with the flow. You will find that this adjustment will make your situation better for you than it used to be if you will be flexible and willing. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

my very first bike was a yamaha BW80 "Big Wheel". Wish I still had that thing. It was pretty cool. . . My dad got it for me at Good Times. Jumped a dirt hill at a job site and bottomed out. Broke something in the engine. . . nearly broke my neck, cause the impact made my hands let go of the handlebars, . Traded it for a go-kart that ran. I was 11 and thought it was a good deal. . .

I remember that bike. Not sure from where though. Were they riding one of these in Pumpkinhead or something?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

so about 60 mph.

Probably felt like about 120mph though

Good morning. Today marks the one year anniversary of my separation from alcohol. It’s nice to be able to cope with life’s challenges without it.

One starting WR that was undersized and everyone complained about leaving his feet to catch the ball transferred while another starting WR medically retired after the season and still there are some who are more concerned with the room this season.

Worrying just to worry.

if only our WR coach was in charge of rotating players, and his roster. Perhaps getting off ones duff to recruit may help.

Bout 55. Pretty quick for a 16 year old on a bike path.

 

[Jackcrevol]

seeing the WV sign...

Could you provide information of him sitting at home instead of recruiting?

This isn’t a defense of Pope as a WR coach, I’m just not sure where this narrative came from of him not recruiting.
