Explain how Thompson goes to jail for a previous restraining order?

Never said anything Close to that

 

[butchna]

Hate to break it to you but you aren’t the center of attention my man. You really aren’t that important so my post aren’t always about you. I don’t consider most of what you say intelligent enough to respond to

You bristled and referenced two of my points in a clearly frustrated manner. Narcissistic people never consider anyone countering them as worthy.

 

[BruinVol]

Not sure why you engage in discussion with Bruin as you know his pattern and he will not change. Amusing he mentioned hypocrisy when twice he has stated he was leaving only to return (much to everyone’s chagrin)

Just once

Sorry and the next time
I leave you will know I died

I don’t want him to ever enjoy anything...and he won’t as long as I’m posting.

Typed something that you deserved but recognized it may have gone too far...that’s restraint. Somebody beg Bruin not to die since no one cared that he posted a look at me bye bye letter.

You fellas know way too much about restraining orders

 

[WriterVol]

Maybe Brandon

I don't know the people, just the positions. I was just curious. It's no big deal, and thanks.

Ive had to do one before lol. The only proof I had to provide was a written statement that I was fearful for damage to my property and self.

Good news: Tennessee ranks 26th in Bill Connelly’s SP+ rankings.

Bad news: still projected at 6-6 because we play 6 teams ahead of us in the ranking.

Preseason SP+ rankings: Alabama tops Clemson

I could live with a 6-6 record this year. Sign of progress. Get a bowl and hopefully a 7th win.

Being a former police officer, the BT case seems to be "par for the course" in regards to many domestic type situations. Even though, the victim was not touched or physically assaulted, by law the police officer made the right decision by making the arrest and charging him with domestic assault. Chances are that (a) the victim will not show up to court or (b) the domestic charge will be dropped. My concern would be that he has shown a history of this type of behavior at such a young age. It will be interesting to see what the university decides to do.

For me it would depend on how we get to 6-6. Beat all the teams you’re better than and play the top teams close? I could see being satisfied with that.

This is probably a 6 or 7 win team but it just feels like a wasted year if we’re not at least competing with the big dogs.

Between every other post is by bruin and the influx of FFers, I'm out.. Later maybe we get more good news instead of beating BT to death..

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Solomon just got eligibility and we're talking about what BT did or did not do??? Jesus

If I had to bet I would say more than 1 poster on here has been stabbed by a stripper.

One time when I think I was 14 years old, I got in trouble. I don’t mean I only got into trouble once when I was 14 years old, just that this one time was particularly memorable. I don’t remember why I got in trouble or what I did but every night in my home before bedtime we had a family devotional. On this particular night it was my turn to read a short passage from the Bible. I chose the first few verses in Matthew chapter 7 because I think the Sermon on the Mount was one of my most favorite pieces of literature. I think we had to memorize it, or at least most of it, when I was in I’m thinking the 7th grade.

Anyway, so I did my reading. We had a prayer and sang a song and then we could go to bed or do whatever until we went to bed. We didn’t have devotionals at home on church nights, just on nights where we didn’t have church.

Shortly after the devotional that night, my mom, whom must have grounded me that day for something I had got caught at some time earlier cornered me and told me she knew what I was doing in choosing that passage for the devotional. I didn’t know what she was talking about and I told her that. She wasn’t having it. She thought I chose the passage deliberately and wanted me to know that it wasn’t going to change anything. I was still grounded.

It’s been 50 years since that devotional and I still maintain I did not consciously choose that passage to get back at her. We actually had a great relationship for as long as she lived, regardless of all the mistakes, some significant, that I “may” have made at some point in my life but that one time still brings a simile to my face anytime I have occasion to recall that moment. I’ve never been able to figure out what she was feeling guilty about. It’s always been funny to me. I mean she’s mom. She can’t be guilty of anything. I wouldn’t believe it.

I wish Bryce could have had my mom. We’d be brothers. Black and White. I like Bryce. He’s one of my favorite players. He would have loved my mom and she would have loved him. jmo.

Has anyone heard anything on Fields? I've hardly noticed anyone mentioning him throughout spring and fall camps.

They spoke about Fields in the VQ Tuesday Podcast. Said they had heard from practice insiders that he is similar to Harrison .. in that they have had to slow him down to keep him from hurting his own team's players. VQ said they were having to train him NOT to get called for targeting. They seemed to be saying that he has passed Tank McCullough. Said Fields could contribute this year.

Can't pretend I know all the details. My hope is that the University will look to help this young man. Perhaps given a chance to get some professional help with this repetitive issue. If done right, I believe it will not be a PC hit in the media. I do however believe he should now have zero tolerance.

Said 2 things to him and got him to use "facts of issues of a statement"
So worth it, this time anyway.

Agreed. The kid simply needs help. Rather than discarding the kid, help him. I'm sure you could look at his childhood and be able to spot the issue, which is in direct correlation with this type of behavior.

 

[smokeyz1]

Yep


Soloman is more important

I disagree that Solomon is more important. BT is a lock down corner that CJP's defense desperately needs. Pruitt has said that having lock down corners opens him up to be able to be much more aggressive on Defense. We don't really know how good Solomon is. We know BT is a great CB.

IF Burrell turns out to be a great lock down corner and IF Solomon turns out to be a difference maker at DL .. then you could say Solomon is more important.

Hadn’t heard of Deerpark since we switched to Nike.... didn’t we determine he was connected to Addidas since he was so sure UT was NOT going to Nike?

He was around a little during the coaching search, but haven't seen him since. You are correct. He was affiliated with Adidas or some supplier outfit and as far as I know he has zero connections to UT since the Nike switch. I'm guessing his statement was his opinion only.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Did we already boom Solomon eligibility?
