Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Yeah its some of the dumbest stuff I've ever seen. I've seen a college kid get knocked out and left laying in the street for barking in an older mans face in 2005. Guy was talking to his buddy and that kid shook a shaker in his face and started barking at him and that guy dropped him like it wasn't nothing. Kid hit the ground and those two guys walked off just as calm as can be. We walked around him just laying there. Nobody even acknowledged what happened as they stepped over him. Worse fans on the planet, although Lsu fans are a very close second.
LSU fans are bad. I can't put them up there with UF & UGA though. I hate alabama, too, but their fans don't bother me too much.

I'd have a real hard time not kicking a man in the face if he was obnoxiously barking and lunging at me on all fours. I'm not the kind of person who will fight with fans for acting stupid, just something about being barked at pushes me into the red.
 
Delusional! Miss St is giving UT so much bulletin board material.
Every SEC road game for pretty much every team in the league is an opportunity to lay an egg. If State starts 4-0 (possible, Arizona State at home) they'll be feeling big and we will be coming off the Georgia game 2 weeks prior.

I think we handle them just fine, but maybe I'll feel different if we've looked like booty and Lebby has them firing on all cylinders the 1st 4 weeks.

People don't realize, or just ignore, there are only 16 teams in the country with a better roster than UT and they conveniently forget we have a coach who wins with rosters half as good. Vols are gonna hurt a lot of feelings this year.

I've been to both Athens and Baton Rouge. I put LSU fans higher, and I went as a neutral observer who was invited BY LSU fans. I didn't have many issues outside the stadium in Athens, there was one drunk dude at the game who got removed at behest of UGA fans who apologized to all the Vols fans in the section. But the stuff the LSU fans said and did, including the people who invited us who we'd never seen behave badly, was awful. Then when people noticed I wasn't an LSU fan despite also not wearing the opponents' colors they started at me too.

2001 sec title game we almost got in a fight with some idiot Lsu fans throwing sugar packets at an older vol fan in a wheel chair. That may have been the angriest I've ever been at opposing fans. Man me and a guy, we didn't even know each other, went after those idiots but couldn't get to him as they were up a.floor on a ramp above us. Its one thing to do it to me but to an old woman in a wheel chair just hit me all kinds of wrong.
 
Ha! My wife said no one would ever go down there when I first put it together.

Its my kids favorite room when they have kids over now and once we added a treadmill she will walk and watch tv at night.

Build it and they will come.....
😂
We lived in a basement rancher when I grew up. The whole bottom of the house was underground. The den was the best place to be, it felt like a bunker down there. Pretty cool to have a spot big enough where everyone can hang out and do their own thing at the same time.

Yeah Lsu fans are their own breed of stupid. BIL is a barner and I've been down there for an Lsu game and they are something to say the least. That with my prior experience at the sec title game and like I say, they are neck and neck with uga idiots. I think being around them down here helps give uga fans the edge in the idiot department.

I would've been over the limit on that one. I'd say you all weren't they only people that guy pissed off that day. I'd just about bet $ that someone got ahold of him at some point. Probably long overdue.

Crazy how people get a couple beers in them and forget how to act. I had a couple buddies acquaintances like that. You couldn't go anywhere with them without being embarrassed or in some kind of argument by the end of the night.
 
They gave him a 2 yard spot on 4th down in that game that cost us, we stopped him on that scramble. Didn't Compton come in guns a blazing and throw a long post for a td to meachem that game?

My mistake, I think that was 2007.

My mistake again, it was 2006. Was a fumble that was spotted for a 1st down that we recovered but the refs said we didn't......... Refs.

Whatever he got it was long overdue. Still ticks me off thinking about it.

We've all had those so called buddies where you get in a situation that might get your own tail whipped because of them. Doesn't take long to figure out you don't need to be hanging out with them anymore.
 
On my way to Brazil for a work trip. Any of you morans been there and have any recommendations on things to do/buy (don’t think they have an Applebees).
Where are you going exactly? My fiancee is from Rio. I’ve been there twice now. If that’s where you’re going you definitely have to check out Christ the Redeemer. It’s incredible at the top. You should also check out the Sugar load mountains. That’s another fun thing. Also, see if you can catch a Flamengo soccer game. Their games are sweet! Have fun! Brazil is a great country!

I'm thinking about putting a TV on the deck or back patio. I usually just watch on the laptop when I'm outside, but a TV & fire to watch a Vols night game sounds pretty good
Just make sure the sun doesn't mess with the glare on the picture and keep it away from inclement weather. Otherwise it's a good thing

Wife makes fun of my cave but me and boy love it and refrigerator and full kitchen is 8 feet behind my recliner, 10 foot to pool table, 5 feet to foosball table and 20 foot to bathroom. It works for me…

Agreed. Russell was easily the worst. Young, as I said, is among the worst. But not the worst.
Not sure if you watched the last 6 or so weeks in the nfl last year… he played very well and showed what the panthers saw when they took him number 1… it’s a long way to go before being able to say he is among the worst.
