Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[butchna]

Since Catbone had been talking ish about the bball team we've won 15 straight and reached #1.

You don't mess with a steak.

Keep that ish up @Catbone

Why doesn’t it carryover to the football team? And pretty sure the basketball team denigrating didn’t begin this season.

 

[Geaux_Vols]

Never heard of him.

That’s cool, it’ll be our little secret, Mary

 

[SmokinBob]

Have always meant to tell you, I stay amazed with how kind you are. Never see you in an argument or with a bad word. Just impressive.


And when someone receives a compliment from @butchna, you don't take that ish lightly. Feels like you walked on to land few have ever stood on .
Thanks my man.

It started off as serious i really thought bama, fl, and vandy were losses. but the past 2 bball games its been more of a meme. As for football i go into most big games/recruiting battles nervous and expecting an L due to BVS. Does that make me a loser? Yeah maybe. Does it make me not a fan? Hell no.

I relied on my faith. Point blank. I'm not trying to get preachy here but, when people compliment me or my wife on how "strong" we were; we weren't. We were complete train wrecks.

Prayer, coffee, more prayer, even more coffee and every once and a while, sleep.

Hospitals suck. I didn't used to dislike them because I worked in one for many years. Now, I get anxious just thinking about them.

Get and accept help from people who are offering. I didn't eat for three days before my parents literally made me. It's not like I was doing it on purpose, I just wasn't focused on anything other than my little girl. I was focused on too many other things. I needed someone to show me "hey...you look like death on a cracker, maybe you need help..."

It's not weakness bro. It's generosity. Accept it from others and give it back when you can.

I'm hoping you can get through to him. @chargervol needs help right now and there's no shame in that. VN is a family. I've had other bbs's that I've been on longer but this place is special.

Easy to say AFTER we hire a frontline candidate. We did good.

Not sure what you mean. I said all that during the search. Really liked Harrell. Wanted us to take a shot on a young innovative guy. Briles at the top of that of course.

 

[Devo182]

Ice cold shooting again and Kyle already in foul trouble. Dropping a game tonight folks

Did not age well. Why do people freak out every first half when this team has to be beaten for 40 minutes? Tough to do

Preaching to the choir...of one. Would’ve loved Yurcich. Was open to Gleeson or even giving Osovet a shot. Hiring Chaney was legit and I compare it to hiring Barnes. We were bleeding...Chaney stops that.

 

[BigOrange15]

At this point, I'd be a lot saltier if Catbone didn't talk **** about the basketball team. It's only stupid if it doesn't work.

Changing subject....I want Bernard leading the team into Rupp on 2/16 !

?
The lady said they had several programs that I may qualify for, ran the numbers and I made too much.
She then asked if I had looked into disability. And it should lower my income enough to qualify?

Not sure of your intent but if this is more of your political stuff, please use the appropriate forum.
Or call DHS and explain to them that your voting preference makes you more knowledgeable on the subject. But please don't tell me what I was told, in a conversation that you weren't present for.

My wife retired from State of Tennessee DHS. Many times she told me there were people that she saw that deserved help but the guidelines disqualified them.

Carbon copy of how this lady expressed herself. She seemed frustrated that she couldn't find a way to help. Hard position to be in for someone that seems to truly care.
Much respect for your wife.

Didn’t see it posted, but Derrick Walker was responsible for the stoppage in the second half. He broke the shot clock when he slapped the back board.

I like walkers potential. I think he is going to solid next yr with more playing time

 

[vol81]

I don't take life too seriously. Just a strange bass playing pessimistic Vol fan. If you don't like it ignore me, cuz I'm here till I go on my permanent vacation. (Probably will happen soon anyway tbh)









I get it. But I’ve been around here since you first started posting as a young teenager and have seen you “grow up” on this board so to speak. You use your negative persona as a shield, and sword. It’s okay to be the Debbie downer on here if that’s your way of stimulating discussion or attention but in life that type of attitude results in failure. Always. I hope it really is an act for you on here. Now off my soapbox and Go Vols....
Win Em All.

Anyone remember who our PWO’s were last year besides Nyles Gaddy and that big big OL named Abercrombie?

Bart Harris, QB, was one I believe

 

[BruinVol]

Lol

Middle tenn out of school when it doesn't snow and then today when it does snow the schools get caught with their pants down

Poor folks can't win

Yes, but what will actually make him viable threat is he MUST improve his free throw.

Let’s let all kids get dropped off then cancel. Hope the moms and dads get the message and are home

In a rare moment of agreement with you...I concur that Chaney is a great hire. I never hated him like others when he was here WITH Dooley, but even if I had, his floor is MUCH MUCH higher than any OC we've had since he left.

Barnes is an odd comparison to me, because Barnes was in a slump before we scooped him up. Chaney has been humming along with an above average offense (even at arkansas they had a decent offense that got a lot worse after him). He's even less of a risk than Barnes, IMO.

I get it, he's not the best OC ever. He has some infuriating tendencies. He's like Chavis to me. Good enough to win a NC, but can have moments where he really seems to suck. Still a top 20 OC, which is way better than a 5-7 program that's been in a slump for a long time deserves.

Same, wish Walker had RS last year. But Fulkie being hurt forced him to play.

The bigs next season gonna be a different breed. Walker, DJ, & Grant are all big framed beef. Next year's team will have a lot more size.

A 6'7" 5 star guard coming in as well. I just hope none of our Juniors leave for the league, I understand if they do...but I think the college experience is a once and a lifetime thing.

The FB/LB from Georgia.

I don’t think he ever showed up. Not listed on the UTsports roster.
