They can go to the extreme unfortunately but I respect and agree with the core ideal.

Pretty much. I'm all for animal rights to some degree, like at a Peter Singer level. But PETA takes it to the militaristic level and I really never side with groups that go militaristic to achieve ends. Show people the harm and destruction and a solution. That would be better than being antagonistic. Jmo.

Contribute to Spyre if you haven’t already… already have a bunch of family members contributing. If you can’t then that’s fine as well but this is a great way to get back into relevancy. I don’t believe we’ve finished Top 10 in the final AP Poll since 2001…. might be incorrect but it’s something like that

It'a funny. The past 15 years we've been waiting for someone to fix our woes and issues. Waiting for our saviors and bagmen and ADs, etc.

As with so many things, the solution was always ourselves. Now we have an avenue to bring the Vols back to greatness. Lfg

I've been saying for years we should crowd source recruits. Finally tried to back up what I was saying. If we get results I'll continue, if not I know I have spent money in worst ways.

Quinn Ewers was the #1 player in the country for the 2022 class. He was the #1 QB in the country. He’s out of Texas. In 2020 he was committed to Texas but then he got a one-year $1 million dollar NIL offer to switch to Ohio State.

In Texas high school players can’t get paid. They tried every which way to figure a way around the road block but since it’s a state law there were no paths. Quinn only needed a core English course to graduate early, which he took in summer school. He then reclassified to the 2021 class and joined the Buckeyes for the 2021 season. He played 2 snaps in his debut season and then in December 2021 announced his transfer to Texas.

Ewers didn’t really make a mark in Columbus. He wasn’t even the backup. All the QBs on the roster were either freshmen or redshirt freshmen but Ewers got to campus late due to summer school and reclassifying. Redshirt freshman CJ Stroud won the job and had a banner year. CJ was out for the Akron game and one of the other freshmen was given that game.

I assume that Ewers got his money but I haven’t seen anything to confirm it. There’s talk that he’s QB1 at Texas for this year. If so and he plays to expectations, I’m not sure how that impact’s Manning’s decision.

It doesn’t really matter to us right? I mean we already got our guy and every other QB this cycle is already going to their representatives demanding a raise. jmo.

Manning vs Ewers would be a heck of a battle.

Just keep Arch away from Bama/UGA and that'll do pig...that'll do.

Yep, that's what she had. We took it cross-country in 2014 and it did great. But we had a kid and honestly, the thing felt like a tin can safety-wise.

With so many SUVs, trucks and mini-vans on the road these days, plain ole cars can feel small. They're often as safe (sometimes safer) as bigger vehicles but it doesn't feel that way when you're being swallowed by lines of bigger vehicles on either side.

I love nature, I also love hunting and fishing. I also hate wasteful disrespectful hunters, and I hate poachers that destroy endangered species.

I also hate those that don't understand the above can be true.

That reminds me.... You can get Madden 22 for free on Twitch Prime/Amazon Gaming right now. I know it's not the same and tbh, I haven't played a Madden game in eons but free for Prime members is a pretty great deal.

What's that now?
I have Amazon Prime and I have an X box. How do I play/sign up?

IDK if it's going to be different for xbox but on PC : Prime Gaming Scroll through the games and then "claim" the ones you want and/or the cosmetics and bonus packs. You usually have to go through the step of linking your accounts but it's pretty easy/self-explanatory. Also, Amazon is offering games via Luna for prime members and they're doing a lot of mobile and play on 'any platform' games as well.

I check in from time to time because they usually have a game or two that's worth claiming. Like I went last night because I figured they'd have a cosmetic pack for AC Ragnarok (they did :D).

ETA: I think it's the same website for all platforms.

Yep. Both of us got ran off the road multiple times in it. It was like we were invisible in that car due to its size.
