Talking Points: more on Melvin Goins

by kidbourbon on Mar 30, 2011 7:00 AM EDT in Rocky Top Talking Points

A full write-up on Melvin Goins. Coach Dooley downplays it quite a bit , but the guy definitely is built like a football player. I can totally see him putting a nasty crunch on an unsuspecting receiver.
Mark Wiedmer from the Times Free Press writes that Mike Hamilton had his eye on Cuonzo Martin long ago. Good story.
Lineback Greg King battles back from a slew of injuries his freshmen year.
Ja'Wuan James is out for the remainder of the spring with a case of Mono.
Chancellor Cheek suggests that Mike Hamilton is here for the long haul. We shall see, I guess. I'm not one hundred percent convinced. But who am I?

Is it just me....

or does everyone’s links for the write-up on Melvin Goins and Dooley’s comments lead to the player page for Melvin and some easy listening music on You-Tube?

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." A. Bartlett Giamatti

I got that too.

Well, not the easy listening part, because the man has blocked my YouTube access at work.

I fixed it

Like way too late to make a difference.

And…would we call that “easy listening”? :)

One would think

But I actually think Bourbon would be quite gross at 7am.

Probably not...

but I wasn’t really sure what else to call it. :-)

The band is called "pretty lights"

It’s techno-y/trance-y, but I would like to think you wouldn’t hear it on an elevator. :)

I’m not sure what you would call them either, but Allmusic calls them “downtempo”.

So Martin has extra years built into his contract if we get severe penalties

that’s not really a bad idea.

Also,hopefully James’ case of mono is light enough that he still can do a lot of interaction with the mental stuff at spring practice, even if he can’t go out and hit.
