Holy ****.
This is why I don't like answering questions without my wife around.
I'm going to the Medical University of South Carolina. ...I was close...

Located in CHARLESTON, South Carolina. ...only off by half the freaking state.... And a longer trip than I was planning for. ☹

Got it - dates still the same? @jakez4ut
Do you have a PayPal account? If so, maybe we can get $$ to you that way. I transfer $$ to my kids via PayPal fairly often. :) @volatil

Will know on dates shortly, (if they were able to bunch the procedures) expecting a return call.
Only way I would feel comfortable on money for fuel/meals is if I'm allowed to pay people back. I've managed to avoid asking this entire time, just never had such short notice. But it would be much less than I've had to come up with so far.
Still not sure though, let me try other alternatives first.
Thanks again for the offer SB.

For as much crap as people give him, Simonton is the only VQ guy worth a shat IMO. Which isn't to say Price and Hubbs aren't nice guys - they just very rarely say anything or provide any real info. Most of their responses to questions sound like answers that a lot of posters on here who follow recruiting could come up with.

Also, IMO VQ would be better served to crap the Monday Night Chat session, and just solicit questions throughout the week, and then answer the best ones. Having to scroll through 7 pages of dumb questions like what kind of ninja turtle would you be, or multiple mods answering the same question with basically the same answer, etc.

This from Simonton I thought was interesting, from a current roster perspective:



I like Jacob Warren as an athlete and he looked like he could've been a match up problem for some guys, but he came in rail thin - want to say 210? To hear he's put on that much weight....with his decent speed, wingspan and hands, he could turn into something.

Also would be nice to get something out of Labruzza.

Labruzza, Sham and several others from that class need to find a way to mean something to this roster....sooner than later.
hope they do.....

Just finished watching The Fall on Netflix. It was horrible but kept watching because I so wanted him to pay. Not sure I could take real life after that.

I didn't have a link to post for the person who asked because I didn't want to reread it to find a link with all the charges.

Another preview:

Mississippi State will make its way to Neyland the week following Georgia and, owing to a bye week, will have had two weeks to prepare for us. The dogs roster last year graded out at 74.86% versus the best in the conference and their 2019 class scored 74.27%. Their returning production on offense drops from 82% last year to 59% this year. On defense it drops from 80% down to 56%. Overall they drop from 81% returning production down to 57%. They lost over 70% of their defensive line production as well as both starting safeties. It will be a steep challenge for them to repeat as the best defense in the conference. FPI sees their offense as 23rd best in all of FBS and their defense as 14th best. Their special teams units earned a preseason ranking of 35. Last year MSU over performed their preseason FPI by 3.3 points but still drop 1.6 points this preseason relative to this time last year. They are projected to be worse by 4.9 points than they were at the end of last season. After adjusting for our home field and their extra week to prepare for us, it looks like FPI will project us as a 1.2 point preseason favorite in the game, suggesting a 51.2% chance of our getting the win.

In looking at the age and talent comparison for projected starters, state is a full year older than us. On offense their average age is 21.09 vs our offense at 20.36. Their talent on offense is 0.8976 vs our 0.9380. On defense their average age is 21.55 vs our 20.09. Their average talent on defense is 0.8815 vs our 0.9285. They have 3 blue chips starting on each side of the ball and 2 JUCOs starting on offense and 4 starting on defense. State is one of those “recruit 3-stars and coach them up” type of programs. There are 17 redshirts in their projected starting 22, all juniors and seniors. This will likely be a tough game and while they have the age advantage, owing to our out-sized returning production (83%), we will have the experience advantage. Throw in our edge in talent and home field and cross your fingers. Their receiving corps gets a lot of grief from their fans for having hands of stone (lots of dropped passes) and they'll be rolling out a new QB this year so, no sweat. Right? jmo.

Pay me back by being healthy. I appreciate you being honest and not wanting help.

Listen being a part of a community should always include helping others.
