Its really not that hard. This was my second build and so far it has been great. I can get anywhere from 15-27 hours out of it. I got about $325.00 in not including the paint. There are videos on youtube on how to build them and there is a website called udsparts.com where you can buy all your parts. It took me about a week to build it but that was mostly waiting on parts to come in. This is the most important part, the engine/basket. It holds 18lbs of charcoal and after each time I have at least 95% charcoal left.

There was not one mention of it being tough to deal with the blocking in week 3 of a season. More about us paying for an automatic win.

It’s just lazy.. no research or thought about possible reasons.. the media is lazy and piling on UT because it’s easy right now.

Blake Toppemeyer is on a Memphis radio show every Friday. He said buying out Army was dishonorable and mentioned the several connections that UT has with the Army. He said that the few UT fans he had spoken to also agreed with him. They laughed about the release mentioning it being started by Fulmer. The more I hear him, the more of a bozo he sounds.

Jimmy hyams with Brent hubbs said he has a friend that has paid $1,000 a year for 6 season tickets for years now because they are putting club seats in his section, to keep his seats in that section he will have to pay $27,600. WTF!!!

Who the F is going to pay that sh*t!?!?

They are going to make it so that nobody will want to go. If they was on Bamas level I might get it but Tenn has been irrelevant for so long that raising these prices makes zero sense. They cant make Tn good by doing this stuff

Honestly TN has ways cost more. I remember a couple years ago, TAMU was playing Bama in Tuscaloosa and both teams were ranked. Bama put face on those tickets at $40. While TN has been over here charging 90 for the marquee games and 60 for others unless it's a nobody.

Florida got a moral victory from hanging with Alabama last week but what if Alabama is not up to its typical standard this year (which I suspect at least so far it’s not)?

Anyway, I’m testing out a new simplified model for my weekly picks this week. It’s scoring offense minus scoring defense adjusted for strength of schedule (Sagarin) and home field advantage. The strength of schedule adjustment is calculated by dividing the SOS rank by 258 (teams) and multiplying by 36. I set the max spread to 36 because after that it’s just running up the score. I compared the expected SOS spread to the actual spread between the offense and defense and adjust for under or over performance. Finally, I add the actual spread plus the SOS adjustment plus the home field advantage for a given matchup to compare the two teams in a given matchup.

My picks for this week are highlighted in green.

To be honest, they are paying WAY UNDER at less than $200 for a season ticket. They should be paying at least $1000 per ticket. However, almost $4k per season ticket is ludicrous!
