From an article I saw today, each person was to receive about $166,000 after the lawyer feed at the trough. If any lawyers are offended by my remarks; good. You should be offended and shamed by your money-grubbing, scum-sucking fellow lawyers that once again gamed a system to line their pockets with cash.

I read the same thing.

I won't laugh at Muschamp....we have yet to beat him.

IMO, UGA will be a lot more hardnosed under Smart....on offense and defense. My only hope is with Chaney as his OC they will be pass happy.

I tried to watch it once last year....after about 20 minutes I'd had enough.

I'm running a 2009 laptop with Win 7, and so I hesitate to upgrade.  I figure by the time they phase out 7, I'll just buy a new laptop.  7 is fine for everything I am doing at the moment. 

Exactly where I am too.

I've been getting the update to 10 free popup daily for months and have yet to do it......No more than I use a computer anymore other than to surf the web I'm a gret mind not to do it at all. The app crap would drive me crazy.
5631  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: tee higgins commits to the tiglets.... on: July 05, 2016, 05:09:28 EDT
I did just check Rivals.  We are 9th in 2017 per that site.   Much better than I thought.  I know ratings aren't perfect but I don't see any reason to panic.  I do hope we improve from top 10 to top 5 though.

As for the WR situation, I have been very confused about the rotation for pretty much the duration of Butch's tenure.  There doesn't seem to be an ability to establish any consistency whatsover, and there really isn't a "go to" guy.

I think part of the problem is Dobbs. It's possible that our OC will settle into a better passing routine in his second season, Dobbs or no Dobbs, and some WR leaders who can be consistent will emerge, but I'm not holding my breath.

I am pretty sure the situation will improve when Dobbs is replaced by a more consistent passer next season, but the situation should be better than it is.

Not to be a downer....but a lot of the reason we are ranked so high right now for the 2017 class has a lot to do with having so many committed at this point. When other big dogs catch up with us numbers wise we will drop several spots unless we pickup with top 150 players and stop taking so many 3 star out of state commits.
5632  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: tee higgins commits to the tiglets.... on: July 05, 2016, 12:40:20 EDT
30 miles down the road and he heads to Clemson. Butch better win big this season and show kids we can play and beat the big dogs. Not good when our instate 4 and 5 star recruits head out of state and we are getting commits from out of state 3 stars. We haven't shown we can develop highly rated WRs and I'm sure it's being used against us in recruiting.

Also...I've posted before if I was a top rated WR recruit and how bad our passing game has been I'd tell Butch Don't call me I'll call you.

Can't you hurry things up!!!? My Cards are sucking and playing themselves out of the post season ....It's time to get football started
5634  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Went to my local Wal Mart neighborhood market to get groceries this morning on: July 02, 2016, 01:46:32 EDT
Wife and me stopped at the Kroger super store here this afternoon.....people were flocking to the wine isles. They have a great selection and I'd say more to pick from than any liquor store in town. On average the cost of the wines that we buy were a $1.00 to $1.50 cheaper than the liquor stores. But it's all about convenience. No more making 2 stops.

I'll toast with a dark to them....Well, maybe 3 or 4.
5636  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Coastal Carolina wins the CWS on: July 01, 2016, 02:45:54 EDT
Congrats to them!!!!

And here at UT.....we can't win just 1 game in the SEC tourney.

Bravo!!! What a great video!

Thanks

5642  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Anybody get the feeling folks are dismissing VaTech as an automatic win? on: June 25, 2016, 04:06:45 EDT
Data for what?  To not go for two?   

4th quarter cluster fooks.
5643  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Apparently the OL is a bit shorter staffed on: June 25, 2016, 01:02:28 EDT
Didn't Blair graduate? If so, he might be done with football.
5644  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Anybody get the feeling folks are dismissing VaTech as an automatic win? on: June 23, 2016, 09:29:18 EDT
With UT and the way Butch has a habit of making WTF moments......if we are playing a NAIA team I'm not resting easy until the final horn blows. We have data to back that up.
5645  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: This is cause for celebration on: June 22, 2016, 02:30:51 EDT
Weak leadership has gotten our program in the mess it's been in for years. Heads should have rolled long ago, IMO.
5646  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols taking Bama legacies on: June 22, 2016, 02:28:32 EDT
It is hard to believe that the top-notch program he comes from....having offers from most all the top programs in the country, he isn't right now in the top 400 recruits in the country. I'm sure he'll move up.
5647  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols taking Bama legacies on: June 21, 2016, 12:32:54 EDT
Got offers from just about all of the top programs in the country is a pretty good indication the kid is pretty good, IMO.

Also....if we keep him it will be a big shock IMO.
5648  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The U.S. Open is going to be great..... on: June 14, 2016, 06:31:00 EDT
I've said for years that to make a course harder you don't have to make them longer.....make hitting fairways a premium. If you miss the fairway then be in 4-5 inches of rough.....make being in a bunker a punishment, the way bunkers are here players would rather be in a greenside bunker than greenside rough. Make the greens hard and fast...as in brick hard where the best players in the world can't throw darts at pins. Make it where the best up and down players make the cut and the one that aren't go home on Friday afternoon.

Courses here for some reason over the years decided having a plush, green, soft course was the thing. The course I belong to has done the same thing....can't play a round without them fertilizing the greens, fairways and pouring water to the whole course.
5649  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols ranked #1 in preseason poll..... on: June 14, 2016, 03:41:08 EDT
Best talent we've had in years....experienced talent too. We'll lose some top talent after this season most likely. New coach at UGA, USC, Mizzou......2nd year coach at FL with a first year QB most likely.

If Butch can't win big this season and also win the East....not sure he ever will. This very well could be a make or break season for Butch. JMO
5650  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Maleik Gray Commits to the VOLS on: June 12, 2016, 10:58:07 EDT
Great get....Now we need more in-state kids to commit to us in the coming weeks. Long way to go but even with this commit we are still ranked in the high 20's right now.
