I just read the fine print to verify I would be able to pull the money out after using the free bets… you can’t. You have to use the deposited amount at least once in a bet. They will flag your account and possibly cancel your account if you don’t.

What I’m thinking about doing is placing a $100 Moneyline bet on the most obvious win of the weekend with very little pay out. That would mean I used it once in a bet and then could take it out. Risky though. I don’t want to get my account banned and then I’m out of the fun.. on DK at least.

If we beat one of bama or georgia, we will have a regular season record of 11-1. However, they will both fall to the Vols this year for our regular season record of 12-0. Then, after winning the SECCG against either bama or TAMU, we may even get a rematch against bama or uga in the playoffs to finish the year at 15-0 🤠

Here’s where I am torn. Which would be sweeter? Beating bama 2-3 times in the same season? Beating uga 2 times in the same season? Or being instrumental in keeping both bama and uga out of the playoffs? I vote for the third option. Then we get to not only feast on their misery of no playoffs birth, but also get to whoop up on a couple of non-SEC playoff teams. Thus beginning Tennessee’s true reign of terror…I want Tennessee to get the opportunity to destroy as many different college teams as possible so that there is no doubt.

It would be awesome if TAMU beats bama to keep them out of the SECCG, maybe throw in a loss to auburn or LSU as well…

Same story for uga. How much fun would it be for them to lose to Tennessee, Auburn, and one or both of kentucky and the gators.

Here’s to dreams coming true…🤞🙏😈


But, let’s not look ahead and lose focus. This wee Tennessee plays the Akron Zips. Time to get into game mode. Rev up the Maxims!

Yeah I have the #1 class every year. It’s not fun like that. But also idk how they could make it more “realistic” bc you’d have to spend even more time on it if dudes went elsewhere.

I love the idea of the portal being in the game tho. Just not sure how to fix recruiting.

Actually even gameplay is too easy. I take over any program, no matter how bad they were before, and nearly always go undefeated.

I just started as an OC at Arkansas St last week and played it on Heisman and still averaged over 550 ypg. Got HC offers to P5 schools after one year, which is also unrealistic.

Hooker was named the SEC offensive player of the week in week 2, but why? Didn't he have a bit of an off game? Jayson Swain was filling in for Jeff Francis Monday night on Big Orange Hotline as Jeff had traveled out west with MTSU (where his son is a starting LB) to see the Blue Raiders beat up on Colorado State. Anyway, Bob, Pat, and Jayson all claimed it was the worst performance they had seen out of our offense since Heupel got here. (side note, I think that could be arguable).

Anyway, performance week to week is relative. So according to ESPN's EPA for SEC QBs in week 2, Hooker was best in the conference. QBR measures a lot of things into one metric including passing and running. Richardson at Florida was tops in week 1 due to his running but last week he didn't run and so his EPA tanked to last in the conference. Hooker led the conference in overall QB EPA because he dominated last week in passing EPA. We're not using him a lot right now in running so he doesn't get the boost from that to his overall QBR. Still, there's a reason Hooker was selected as the SEC offensive player of the week. He was the one QB in the conference that helped his team the most. jmo.

Great stuff Chatta!

Also LAST year's Pitt game was the worst in the Josh Heupel era imo. Georgia was equally bad but in that game we were able to pass a lot, just couldn't run on them and Georgia had the best defense in the country (and maybe the best of this century)

Against Pitt:
2nd lowest total yards to date (374)
1st most TOs in a game to date (3)
Only 238 passing yards and 136 rushing yards and just 66 offensive plays (plenty of punts)
2nd most penalties in a game under Heupel as well at 13, but most penalty yards at 134

Still managed to score 4 TDs though and 34 total.

Not worried about Hooker.

But am getting concerned about rushing. Hooker is sitting at 1.95 ypc (sacks included ofc in college) and Small 3.5.

Wright is the only one producing, but he keeps fumbling.

Really missing Evans right about now. As much as we run the ball in this offense, we have to find reliable options.

Also if Nico (or any young QB really) is serious about coming to college and ball out then get paid in the NFL then you should ABSOLUTELY want to get that first seasons to RS.

You'll have a full year and potentially 2 off-seasons to learn the playbook, build chemistry with teammates, get stronger and prepared for the D1 level of competition.

Then ideally you play 2 seasons and enter the NFL draft early with less wear/tear on you than a typical 4 year starter. The NFL has shown (especially with QBs) that if you have the production in a season AND the right measurables at the combine you'll have no issues getting drafted. Bryce Young's biggest hurdle for the NFL Draft won't be helped at all by playing another year at Bama, unless they have a way to increase his size.

Yeah I want the progression to being the best to take longer on there. I’ve just quit playing multiple careers on there bc it gets too easy and I think to myself I’ll start again so it’ll be more difficult…..and 2 seasons in I’m winning NCs with NM State

I actually think it's the OL more than the rushers to blame. Wright not having contact most the off-season though is a big reason he's had the fumbling issues. I expect after another game or two he'll be past that.

I'd say we'll have a bit more focus/success getting it going Saturday.

Wife was just there on Saturday night on her girls trip. Brought home what she didn't eat, which was incredible even reheated.

A 10oz ribeye with full salad bar and a side for $30.99 is a great price and great quality.

$30.99?

Mate, can I introduce you to the Arby’s $1 menu between 2-5:00?

Evans also never really performed against tough teams.

Only 3 games with more than 50 yards. Missouri, Bowling Green, South Carolina. Even at Louisville he struggled against UCF and despite leading their team in carries in both of their first games he's yet to eclipse 100 yards.

We just need Jaylen to take care of the ball, he's clearly emerging as the best RB we have.
