  • I'm gonna go for a year as well I think. I like the site, the info is good, and figuring out which innocuous comments will and won't get down-voted is highly entertaining.

  • Welcome!! I too have primarily been on another site(VN)... I enjoy both but the VFL's on this site seem to be able to have more adult banter and convo rather than harsh, personal attacks on certain posters...such as those with very few "likes" or not many posts no matter how long you have actually supported the site. Anyways, I will continue to frequent both but your assessment seems precise to me...Go Vols!!

    most know me on quest, information on quest kept saying TOS says during the search so i was like why not....and honestly I signed up here about a year ago but never to the paid portion.

    With the 30 days free it was a no brainer.

    Seems to be a little more grown up around here, and there is a good amount of activity now.

    Looking forward to it.

    here is some information that should make you guys feel better, some may or may not be aware but two of my better friends are high school coaches here in South Florida, believe me they are connected and I know a few other coaches pretty well.

    This info made me feel a lot better today.

    I spoke with my two buddies that coach high school ball down here in South Florida.

    They told me this, stopping worrying about his staff, they are hungry, at Cincy they knew they had to be the first to offer big time players, and 9 times out of 10 they were offering before the big schools, then the kid would blow up and want to play in the SEC.

    They said if they are able to keep that same drive at Tennessee you will have no worries. Just because they could not land the big 5 star kid doesn't mean they weren't recruiting him well before all the big schools were and the kids love Jones and his staff, they just weren't going to go to cincy over an Alabama, UF or LSU.

    I think this staff may surprise us some.

    welcome to the family. You are going to love it here.

    I was on volquest for a minute, mostly during Kiffin era, and this poster is legit. If he says something, basically mark it down. Good to have you here man.

    Agree.

  • Welcome Flvol77. I left TOS several months ago and haven't looked back. You will not see many trolls here and the "ignore user" button has taken care of the two or three really annoying ones here that are probably only here for the free period.

  • Welcome 77. Came from VQ too. 77 definitely has some good insights. Seem to recall him nailing the Nukeese Richardson commitment, and others, well before anyone.

    I had some serious contacts during the Kiffin era from a Tennessee standpoint. One of them was a current ACC assistant coach.

  • Welcome buddy. I think you'll find this site is great on info and the board is free of trolls for the most part.

  • Thanks for signing up, Flvol77. I am from Cincinnati, so we'll have some fun banter with interleague play and the battle of Ohio. Born in Philly and almost all my relatives still live there, so for hoops I'm a 76ers guy - but think the NBA is unwatchable these days. Dr. J, Moses Malone, Andrew Toney, Mo Cheeks, Bobby Jones, etc. Those were the days.

    Welcome again. If you want to send anyone a private message, just click on the little white envelope in their avatar. If you are a VIP, and you are, you can send the same message to up to 10 people at a time.

    Green envelopes are cool deal. Let's you know there is a new post in a thread you have already viewed. Not sure how we survived without those.

    If there is a photo thread, you can click on the first photo in the thread and it will pop up bigger. Then you can see every photo in the thread just by using your right arrow button. No need to open and close each thread to see all the photos. Can scroll through them all.

    When attaching a video to a post, please use the attach video link instead of the attach link, link. Will allow you to watch the video on the site inside the thread without leaving.

    Think that covers most of it. If you have any questions, ask LWSVOL. Just kidding!

    I love the format of the board. PM's and the indicator that I have posted in a thread are very nice.
