Recruiting Football Talk VIII

RIP Coach MajorsView attachment 743513
Johnny Majors is the reason why I love the VOLS as much as I do.

*I'm still mad about how they did him 1992.

GO BIG ORANGE
I really do think that Majors FANS would double park the dually (back in) in the curbside pickup spot at Grocery Store, saying 'I put cart back,' after blowing air out of mouth, eyes rolled back, foot tapping, having to wait to have their 1 item scanned by a human, despite 8 empty self checkouts being open.

Truth be known, Fulmer was less personable with fans than Majors was. Could be wrong, but had the bigger ego, ergo more entitled. Which is in direct contradiction to Major's fans. 🤪 Probably root for Larry Bird, Adidas, and think Hulk Hogan the greatest wrestler of all time!

I'm lucky, she'll be attending a 2 year community college 25 minutes away for free to save money. That means I have her for two years.

There's that at least, sure that we'll help her make the decision for the next step on her education. There are a few options within a "reasonable" driving distance for her final two years.

She said she wants to teach at the unit school she attended. She's ready but nervous about leaving the high school and friends she loved.

How is the transition going for you? I know it can't be easy, been hard as hell on me and she's still here with us.
Your daughter sounds very normal level headed. I see it every year, leaving the routine and people you have spent the majority of your days with for the pas thirteen years can be scary. The transition for the parents is equally scary. I call the college years the "lost years." They may be present but they will be in the college parallel universe. You will see her in passing but your never on the same plane. It's almost like living with a poltergeist, you get a glimpse once and awhile and there's evidence that they have been around.
Mine left three years ago and it was very difficult, particularly for my wife. I was somewhat soothed by the abundance of food that was now in the house.
My son going into the Army was a really different experience. It is not like going to college. When they go to college you can still communicate with them. Going into the Army, it was like my son did not exist for six months, it was almost like he died.
My kids are both married now and doing well. Enjoy this time, there is great satisfaction watching the people you raised go and make their own way.

I honestly dont think we did him THAT dirty, we went 3-0 with Fulmer, then when majors returned we went 2-0 and then a 3 game losing streak, pair that along with Majors getting older and in poor health at the time, I could kind of understand why It went down
Fans loved Johnny because he was amazing with fans and on tv. I never understood the disconnect until I stumbled across a clip for one of his shows. The man could make Spurrier sound boring and had more style, panache and genuine wit/humor. But he also had a lifetime of tragedies buried inside that came out when his substance abuse progressed.

In a different era, Johnny gets rehabbed and might have made it back home again. But UT didn’t do Majors dirty. He did that to himself.

Not made with same ingredients. Ive owned two. Steel is different.

Loved my Outback. Was the perfect car, regardless of what anyone says, to raz or be judgemental. Loading a kayak, canoe, fishing gear, in the snow, rain, doesnt matter. Best car in elements, period. Safe.

Just wouldnt last:
When I a see a Subaru the first thing I think is, "Is that her's or is she borrowing her girlfriend's car?"

you realize we have a 5*, and two guys in talk to be 5* already committed on offense right?
We need speed at skill positions. To me diff in 2023 team, and when offense is really clicking (even back to gasp Dooley days), is speed.

Getting Keys would take this offense to the next level, with the other 5 Star.

That is a kid you go pay.
 
Do you have moles in your yard? I've encountered the mole Atlantis in my yard. How do you get rid of them?
Oh lord son, you done done it. Every Dad in hyurr is gonna spend next week and a half giving home made remedies, and tips on mole eradication. Of course i've had good luck with C4.

And I would expect nothing less. Furrowed brow and judgement.

Have you lived in mountains of NC? Montana? I have. Any vehicle you can have to help life be made easier, is, utilitarian.
I truly don't think men want safe vehicles like Subarus and Volvos. We want driving to be an adventure. Big off-road tires on an icy road, looks impressive but useless as teats on a boar hog, perfection. Nothing like the adrenalin rush of not knowing if your gonna make it. Nothing makes you feel more alive than a good brush with death.
