All these people wanting to pay off student loans as soon as I pay off 2 masters in my 30s. Someone just give me a brand new car and we'll call it even, k?

crazy question. have you ever thought about going on Jeopardy or PIR? Why not?

Client of mine just back from vegas, says her friend won $16K just playing slots.

I wasnt born yesterday, so, take with a grain of salt.

I flirted with OCS at 30, couldnt commit. But, changed my lifestyle and paid debt off before i got married. There are ways.

Never going to agree on your NIT point. Always want to make the tourney.

Of course, we all do. If he was still recruiting poorly and missed the tourney, I'd question his high salary. But recruiting like this makes the salary justifiable with a single down year.

Whatever happens will happen, just won't understand a bunch of boos and hisses if we finish in the NIT after b2b top 3 seeds and now a full reload incoming. I won't question him or CPF or call for heada like the LotM. No friggin way.

Took your point differently. Sounded like you PREFERRED a long NIT run over a NCAA appearance.

No I paid them all off and all debt free along with wife. And we play Jeopardy every night and could never win that 🤣 Paid my way through undergrad playing poker...I know gambling odds and slots ain't a winner haha. ONLY play poker if I visit Cherokee. I don't even enjoy gambling knowing the house is slowly nickel and diming me. Would rather nickel and dime the unknowing tourists at the poker tables.

Miss St board or staff saying they will try to run on us because of our "poor run D". Ignore the fact their own rush D is ranked 92nd by ypc and we are 69th. Not great, but consider:

UF carried 2nd fewest YPC against us. Miami did better. Auburn did worse than us, as did UK.

UGA carried for 2nd fewest YPC against us. #9 ND did better ofc. Vandy did significantly worse and Ark St.

Not that bad with Bituli and BT back.

Edit: Also, how does UF get away with playing TWO fcs teams?? Ffs. That is like an extra bye week...

We need to force the issue ourselves Saturday with the run game and put together lengthy drives. Even if we're not having much success early on Chaney needs to keep at it IMO. Our run defense isn't terrible but we just don't have much depth in our front 7.

I think his recruiting rn more than makes up for an excused rebuild year. I'd rather have multiple 5*s incoming and an NIT run than an ncaa 10-seed knocked out game 1 and 3 3*s coming in to develop for 3 seasons. The hype for the next couple years is going to be awesome. I can sit through one meh year.

Are all these 5 stars u mention signed or just committed?

The thing is catching% doesn't differentiate between drops and bad throws. He actually only has 1 drop on 17 targets. The Dog himself has 1 every 16 targets this year. Chandler has a whopping 2 drops on only 8 targets. Now that's bad.

To be fair on Chandler, JG threw it at his knees one time and behind him the other...

The closer we get, the more this weekend feels like a must win

I don’t want to be in a must win situation vs South Carolina because Muschamp has some voodoo on us.

We have to have this one. So do we come out winging the ball around or do we tighten up like we did vs BYU?
Pruitt has to get this game and he knows it. Moorhead has to get this game and he knows it. It’s going to be fascinating to see how both coaches react to the pressure.

Idk why but for some reason you deciding this morning that it's a must win, then later deciding the same for all us, including Pruitt, cracks me up.

hahahaha

You don’t think it is?

Not from a “fire him this year” perspective but I think this game goes a long way in keeping the group together and bought in

Seems good in theory, but we've been atrocious at long drives since probably Dobbs left. We make mistakes, negative plays, sacks, penalties, turnovers and kill drives. Seems our only hope sometimes is explosive plays. Not great for our D, but we also have to score in the best way possible and the D has to stand on its own 2 feet.

Now, hopefully running the ball can be the best way forward, or at least a big part of it, and we run over them with few penalties, negative plays, etc. I just don't expect us to suddenly be that team.

If I had to craft a gameplan, I'd try to open them up early in the air and get to the ground more starting Q2 once they loosen up some. But about every 5 plays would be a mid-long pass attempt for better or worse. Then sprinkle in screens (can Maurer actually complete them?). I'd keep shooting for longball plays. I don't like our chances playing smallball, especially vs their respectable offense.

"Must win" is a strong term and mathematically doesn't apply here. But let's just say if our goal is to make a bowl, winning out post-Bama looks very unlikely. Mizzou is looking good once again...smh.

It'll be interesting. Chandler on the season is averaging almost 6 yards a pop. If he doesn't touch the football at least 15 times on Saturday I think it's bad coaching. Get the ball into the hands of your best players and let them decide the game.
