Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

If it was wasn’t about money then why did Nico’s fat dad reportedly ask for more money shortly before his departure?
If it wasn’t about money then why did Nico threaten to hold vs Ohio State unless he got a raise?

Joel Klatt is a plumb dumb fool.

I’ll say another thing to ole Joel Klatt. If what he says is true and this is a simple and “glorified high school offense”, then WTH does that say about Nico that he was so bad at running it? He could not get it done whatsoever against any decent defense we faced. The plays were there and he just couldn’t make them.

Grouper all day. Blackened.

Haven't we been doubted every season under Heup and overachieved? Except for maybe 2023? I feel like no one picked us to go to the playoff last year.

This is such a weird way to think an NFL franchise should operate

It’s so damn tiresome as a big time fan of both teams

Well, that troll was trolling is his sad sack way. He can’t find anyone to agree with him, and Marco Marco’d him. He dead.

i've never cared so much about something in my entire life.

But yet you felt the need to post about it.

Swords if you know how to cook it, grouper, snapper. Unless it’s yellow eye snapper then they’re #2.

Nothing beats deep drop fish. Tile fish, snowy grouper, yellow edge grouper. Unbelievable quality fish. Catch them regularly

How do you cook it? I might learn something here.

One more for you @SoilVol and I'll leave you alone I promise. Same trail as that bobcat.

That is awesome. We don't get to see them down my way.

Grilled, just don’t over cook it. I’ve caught a couple pumpkin swords and they are fantastic. Basically a sword that’s ate a high shrimp diet and the meat is pumpkin colored.

I dont want to get yelled at, so I won't post my coyote or bobcat lol

I gotta say...seeing Squirrel talking at a FSU presser just now really hurt my heart...I hate this stupid current CFB money .

I get it, he wanted a lot more than we were going to pay him, we are never going to overpay players, that much has been made abundantly obvious, and it is his last year probably playing football, and FSU obviously is desperate enough to give him more than his common sense value...but...

Dude should be leaving Knoxville as a Vol for Life after this season, and now he is just not ever going to be...to me anyway...I just can't consider guys like him and Tyler Baron as VFLs when they leave simply for a few more bucks...especially as thin as we are at WR.

I hate it because I have a soft spot for Squirrel, despite the fact that he was so frustrating and aggravating out there jumping and flopping everywhere when he obviously didn't have to...it became like a mental block or something.

He is not a VFL...he is a Seminole, and they will never love him like we did, and would have forever...I don't care about the arguments that I know some of you money grubbers that think it is the be-all end-all of life will spout.

He is dead to me as Volunteer family...I hope it was worth it Squirrel...I really hope it was worth it..

My daughter is just a junior in high school but because of her grades and ACT score (obviously MUCH smarter than her dad) she has been receiving letters from admissions offices from several colleges in state and out of state wanting her to tour/enroll. We got this in the mail today from S. Carolina and she rolled her eyes and threw it in the garbage without even opening it. Maybe I have raised her right after all….

Please say a prayer for my big buddy Bear, he's done something to his right front paw, we noticed bringing him in for dinner yesterday, found some blood and it's really tender, limping heavily. He didn't even really want his dinner.

And for an active dog with a job guarding livestock he's doing his best but he's really uncomfortable/hurting. Called the vet this morning and we have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. This is my best friend in the world, never bonded with a dog like I have with him before, I swear it's like he reads my mind, Wish him luck!

Update: he's got a cut against the nail bed and bottom of toe pad. It's already begun healing but there is infection as well.

Vet gave me some pain meds, anti inflammatory and antibiotic. We're going to limit his outdoor time over the next few days. He's not going to like that at all. If not progressing or it gets worse this week we'll take him back.

He did not like the vet, new guy at the office with a very thick and sharp English accent, Bear has never heard that before and immediately didn't trust him. He did let a little boy come up and love on him, even gave him his paw when he asked.

 

[Batman1948]

The question is.......is he dumb enough that he believes that or does he know exactly what he is doing and its entirely for social media interaction?

Stirring sh*t up for clicks---gotta keep his name in the limelight---click bait and he knows UT fans will respond big time

Well said. It’s not about where you start, it’s where you finish. I hope a few years down the road it becomes clear to these kids that staying at UT long term opens up so many more doors for you and is far more valuable than some extra $$$ in the present.

I fear they will be a load this year...too much talent to continue to suck, but if they do, ol KD better start looking for a hood realtor and moving company.

So they're going to fire him for cause, take his signing bonus, and he's going to be so broke he has to move to the hood?

I honestly can’t think of a worse fandom to be part of than South Carolina’s. Over 30 years in the SEC and you’ve never made a championship game and before that were a perennial doormat. Your “rival” doesn’t even play in your conference. And now that it’s time to pick three permanent rivals, nobody’s claimed you because nobody’s ever cared enough to hate you.
