How can ESPN have not one story about Tennessee Baseball on their site in the last 10 days? I thought, hmm, I'll jump out to ESPN and see what they have to say about Tennessee setting the record for longest win streak to start conference play...

Trash site, channel, and company (same for their parent companies). I’ll be glad when there’s legit competition in that field and we can choose them out of existence.
 
He was found guilty evidently, not sure why charges were decreased. Just what I read here.

Not personally worried about him. More worried about the recruits if he decides to become famous by shooting one of them. Like the guy that shot and killed John Lennon. No animosity whatsoever towards John, but used his killing as a vehicle for his own fame.

It would be nice if VN could totally ignore him and his antics. I try to scroll by discussions about him…

Could we please go back to talking about golf? 😇

It should be really obvious that feeding a mentally ill person's illness via supporting his SM icon status or simply ignoring his delusions is not a good thing. I have no idea on the validity of any criminal charges. I have a reasonably informed opinion on what I see from his words and actions that he and others post. And since we are back to the golf - he needs help because is a lost ball in high weeds. Three minute rule applies.
 
No offense Soil. As much as I blame Invol for most everything, he does have a point. There are many occasions where confessions were forced under duress, or, for attention. Myriad reasons. The facts should show.
The officer showed up, they said he tried to break in, pointed a gun at them, and shot into the air. Andy said, "Yeah I did that. It was stupid." at the scene. That doesn't sound like a situation where he was being coerced or forced by anyone, and should've been recorded by a body cam. Of course forensic evidence would also show his gun had been fired and there should've been a casing at the scene. Just because we don't have the full report public doesn't mean he's not dangerous or loony - which is the entire point of this discussion. All details were reported as facts, not as allegations.

The charges were probably only reduced because they vandalized his car afterwards and they may have decided not to pursue charges.

a grown man, and, that is what he is. That would knowingly drive two hours to fraternize with HS kids, uninvited should have his boundaries questioned.

That isnt behaviour of someone in their right mind.

Anyone willing to discharge a firearm in such a fashion should have their head checked.

I doubt police would waste time and energy testing ballistics on an attempted aggravated assault or whatever the idiot was charged with.

Facts are, he lives in Greene County. He drove to Mt Carmel, an hour away to confront people, with a firearm. He intended to act in a manner illegally.

Again, why I think psych evals should be given to criminals prior to regaining gun rights.
 
I've not actually met Andy, so I have no idea how crazy he actually is. Is his Twitter persona an accurate portrayal of who he is? Maybe, or maybe he's just playing it up for followers. I have no idea. If UT has banned him from campus, so be it. They can't actually ban him from talking to recruits. It's up to those recruits to decide whether or not to avoid him.

What are you referring to about driving two hours uninvited?

Yah. All the Twitter psych diagnoses are fun. Not knowing him, or having that much insight, dude is weird. Predicting death is a bit of melodrama, though, I suspect.
 
Twitter is such an awesome place for the sharing of ideas….. following sports….. financial concepts….. it is a shame that it gets ruined by such idiotic nonsense.
What baffles me is how younger people make tons of cash as "influencers". We're breeding sheep.
 
I hope to God you are right.
Like I said McGill, I think the guy's a piece of crap. I wish he'd stay away from any of our recruits both in person and digitally. I'm just not sure what you can do. He's done nothing illegal. UT can and apparently has banned him from campus. Anyone, recruit or not can choose to not communicate with him by blocking him. It appeared that Nico and his crew were having fun hamming it up with him. We live in a free society so with that comes risk. We can't lock people up because they're idiots. If we did, half the country would be incarcerated. If he is a felon, has a restraining order, or order of protection, he can't legally own a firearm. If he was caught with one, he'd go straight to prison for violating his conditions of release..
 
The flip side, Nico asked people to show up.

Mcgill is a wild dog ready to break knee caps.

I highly recommend we set up a meet at Waffle House between the two.
 
he shows up to Farragut, ar a HS to meet Nico Iamleava et al.

Someone sent a blurb from paper about an arresr
he was involved in. He hails from Limestone... 2 hrs.
The Farragut thing was by invitation….. they invited all vol fans to attend that event….. They wanted as big a crowd as possible….. if I was in town….. I probably would have attended it…. Andy doesn’t worry me unless he actually has schizophrenia or some other kind of diagnosis…..The ones that scare me are the Ted Bundys and John Wayne Gacys of the world that were mentioned earlier…. They were considered good guys and people were shocked when they found out what they were doing…. Gacy was a successful married contractor who did charity work as a clown…. Bundy was very educated and thought to be going into politics…. I also use to work with a guy that was very caring, giving, and one of the best men I thought I knew…… That was before the FBI raided his house and arrested him for the child pornography he was engaging.

If he breaks the law, I hope they arrest him and put him in jail where he belongs…. Other than that…. I am not going to spend much time worrying or thinking about him.
 
Our baseball team has absolutely crushed the teams we've been beating so far. I mean, they still aren't over us wrecking them. Ole Miss is falling off the planet and Vandy is questioning whether they were ever any good to begin with. They may not recover this season.
I hope we didn't tackle teams that were overrated and then struggle against FL, AL, and Arky.
