Jahmir Johnson, but it looks like he hurt his hand on that play. He also played injured on Saturday, so I think he cares.

He had two egregious hands to the face that didn’t get called. He’s nasty which you like but completely unreliable.... and too light. Someone said few weeks Avo wonder how his career would have panned out if he went all out on the DL

Agree. Since we are selling beer now in the stadium, seems bringing it back would be fine as well.

They didn’t stop it because of Prohibition. Kentucky player died in a drunk driving incident and it didn’t seem right to either school to continue the tradition. Haven’t missed it myself...doubt there’s a huge groundswell for it’s return.

I've been doing some thinking about the NCAA's decision to allow players to profit off of their likenesses and how it might affect recruiting. I'm making the assumption that there's more opportunity for athletes in places with higher viewership, since viewership -> ad opportunities -> $$$.

After some digging, I found this list of the top rated college football markets released by Nielsen in 2017.

Putting this together with Reddit's survey data of CFB fans per county, I was able to attribute a percentage of each market to particular teams, trying to sum them across the associated counties to make a guess at which fanbases contributed the most to CFB TV across the board and I wind up with this result:

Also a breakdown of percentage of fans per fanbase by market:

Granted, this data may be slanted a bit due to having 3 of the largest 15 markets in TN, and not having any visibility into the rest of the country, but what I see here looks good. Our market size is massive, and we absolutely own Knoxville. Let's get some 5-stars endorsement money!

I didn't know this until it was pointed out to me by UAB fans.

In their darkest hour, Tennessee stood with them. They haven't forgot.

Hopefully, their team will remember this tomorrow night and take it easy on us, since according to Evan, they are definitely the better team when you compare each one head to head.

I am just kidding. I have a wife with a tender heart, but my daughter kinda saves me from having to watch these with her.

Hey, Hey, set yourself right down beside her, fix her some buttered popcorn, squeeze her tight, tell her you love her and both of you can cry together at the end of a good Hallmark movie. :):):):):)

Yesterday morning, Evan Dudley, the writer that covers the UAB Blazers for AL.com, published his typical game week position breakdown between UAB’s position groups and those of their opponent for that week, in this case, Tennessee.

This is what he writes:

Quarterbacks – Advantage UAB
Running Backs – Advantage Even
Receivers – Advantage Even
Offensive Line – Advantage UAB
Defensive Line – Advantage Even
Linebackers – Advantage UAB
Secondary – Advantage Tennessee
Special Teams – Advantage Even
Coaching – Advantage Even
Overall – Advantage Even

Position-by-position breakdown for UAB’s road game at Tennessee

Hallmark movies are just the same predictable, regurgitated plot in different settings.

  • Frustrated woman/mom runs into handsome man.
  • Some reluctancy at first, but attraction begins.
  • Sparks of love become obvious.
  • Trial cause a riff.
  • Couple overcomes trial and falls madly in love.
  • Snowflakes fall over a passionate kiss.
  • Brillovol takes wife to bed.

Damn, my 9 year old son got a concussion this morning in school. Looks like he's going to be under protocol this week...was hoping he could help us against might UAB.

Somebody tell Evan to bet the house on UAB straight up FTW.
