Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This is what was in the link:
"As was the case at Georgia Tech, former University of Tennessee football coach and administrator Robert Neyland faced a similar situation. In 1961, Neyland canceled a track meet because an opponent was going to let a Black student-athlete compete (Epling, 1994). His decision to cancel the event eventually led to him stepping down from his position in 1962. In addition, Neyland was also involved in an altercation with a Black student, Avon Rollins, in which he verbally abused the student for his inquiry into trying out for the basketball team at Tennessee (Epling, 1994). In recognition of his 36 years of service, Tennessee named their football stadium, Neyland Stadium, posthumously after Robert."

The second one is stupid. The first one, does anyone have any more info? Like did he cancel the even because of a black runner or because of specific runner who happened to be black but was opposed for another reason?

For craps sake...when are people going to let **** in the past go? People do not take how people were raised and taught into account when judging those from the past. Robert Neyland was not an evil man...for ***** sake let it ******* go.

Would appreciate prayers, folks. I’ve mentioned on here before that my dad is battling dementia. He’s been struggling the past couple of days, so we had him taken to the emergency room. Just heard back that he has COVID. He’s not in distress. I would appreciate prayers that he continues not to be in distress and that my brother and I make the right decisions about his care.

Prayers Sent

Also, needs to have some humility and gratitude on that shoulder as well.

If Pruitt is going to let him back on the team, I am sure he has done what is needed and learned from it.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's not a good stat though. That means he rarely led his receivers so they could get YAC

That is exactly what I thought...he literally never hits a WR in stride..ever.

 

[OrangeShade]

What about Cuonzo Martin?

And Wade Houston?

 

[Rishvol]

It’s fairly double sided as well, wouldn’t you agree? Also means deep ball accuracy is good and he at least knows the playbook.

No, I wouldn't agree to that. Mostly because if he did have that deep ball accuracy you speak of then his numbers would be much higher.

Not taking up for him or anything of that nature, but I’ll leave this little conversation piece here...and grenade drop into the thread 3..2..1
Very interesting considering he still looked like trash at times.

HAHAHAHHAHA!...self explanatory really...did you not see the glorified 12 yard curl routes he’s been practicing on?..it’s pretty clear why it’s high.JG doesn’t take shots down field.

 

[Skullbone]

Awesome. We have some potential to do great things on defense this year.

That's a given. Just hope he appreciates it.

I am trying to determine how Neyland was racist towards student-athletes. Did Neyland coach any black athletes at UT?

Correction, there has never been a vaccine developed for a Coronavirus ever.

I realize that. I'm just saying that the process for developing a vaccine for any virus is well established.

 

[drvenner]

Coach Wade Houston. He was the head coach before she played and Martin was after her.

Very good person, very talented son, very good assistant coach, horrible head coach

 

[drvenner]

I will get one as soon as it is available just so I can tell people to shut up and leave me alone.

People will still find stuff to give you crap about

He’s been saying a lot of the right things on Twitter for months. Hope this sticks and he’s able to make the most of his second chance

My DIL shared something on FB a while back that said they were finding it has something to do with the blood, but I can't remember what it was. It made sense with how it has a different effect on different people. I will have to try to find that.

I'm sorry SaS, but I couldn't get past this without laughing lol

 

[engineerVOL]

Boy is he gonna be in for a big surprise when he comes to Neyland stadium no roof or 15 yard rubber mats here sunny.

Who dat?

 

[drvenner]

Well the two vaccines gaining traction are “non-active” vaccines. So they can’t really be worse than the virus considering you wouldn’t actually be getting the virus. The vaccine would just mimic it and cause you to form Antibodies.

Thanks for the potentially good news

 

[zhangliao04]

Scientists stick together...amirite?

I have a lifelong friend in his late 40s who is in ICU with Covid-19...he has some chronic health issues so this may not go well. Prayers would be appreciated for him and his family.

That's because he shortarmed all the passes to the running back in the flat or screens that would normally get that YAC. Also made his receiver have to check up on downfield throws instead of hitting them in stride. A twenty yard completion is great but not when it could have been a twenty-two yard catch and a 30 yard sprint to the end zone if the receiver was hit in stride. I can't remember which game it was but he overthrew a wide open Dominic Wood-Anderson on a seam route with nothing between him and the end zone 60 yards away.
