I think you don't get stoopid based on 2 seasons. Heupel might have caught lightning in a bottle with Hooker. Let's see how he does with Milton, Nico and TJ. Reasonable bump, but we're masters of paying huge sums to fired coaches. Don't want to be in aTm's situation anytime soon.

The man has averaged a top 6-7 offense over the last 6-7 years no matter who the QB was or where he was at....so pretty f'n sure he is the f'n lightning.

Josh Pate mentioned in todays podcast, that by his model, the line on the SECCG of UGA vs LSU would be -17 UGA.

He thinks Vegas line will be closer to -14 or -15.

SIAP. The jokes write themselves sometimes, folks.

I hear it's the local drink.

And all she likes to do is dance....

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

7.5 would put him around 5th or so in conference. No reason to go any higher unless we get a conference championship or something like that. Heupel is currently 11th/14 in pay at 5 million per year.

Yeah...let's just insult him....that's a great plan seeing how the big money teams are gonna come after him.

Yep. Finishing 11-1 in this conference, for better or worse, grants you a blank check.

I'm not sure what the event is...but I just thought of that guy in the middle spitting it out and being like "yeah that's a pen15 alright!" and the team erupting as he stumbles out of the gloryhole with hands raised.

Reminds me of my fiancé. She plays animal crossing on her switch sometimes. She asked me what to name her island, so I said “Pen Island.” She still hasn’t gotten the joke… it’s been almost 3 years.

Having our first in January (due date), I’m excited, nervous and happy. So any advice is welcomed.

1. Take all the pictures and don't even feel guilty about telling everyone how incredible your child is. If they don't like it then that is their loss.
2. Don't blink. Before you know it they are graduating high school like my oldest and you will wonder where the time went.
3. Spend as much time with your family as possible. You don't want to be sending them off to college with even the slightest thought that you should've/could've spent less time at work and more time with them.
4. Be patient with your child, your spouse, and yourself. There is no manual for growing up and there is no manual for raising kids. We are all just winging it. Don't be a pushover, but be ready to show grace.
5. I put this last, but that isn't because it is the least important. Just ending with it for emphasis. Do Not Stop Pursuing Your Spouse. Just because you have a child should not in any way diminish your feelings for your spouse. They still need to know that you desire them and value them. Go on dates and even overnights once you are comfortable leaving the little one with some relatives for a day or two. You two are in this parenting thing together and you will need to know that you each have each other's backs and that you are best friends. The closer you are to your spouse, the better parents you can be.

Congratulations and good luck!!!!

Would you stay at hotel fraye or Conrad in Nashville for the Vandy game?

4 year old and 2 year old here, was in your boat 2-3 years ago, had two under two and thought i would never sleep again

you really won't know what you're in for until you get home. our first didn't feed well, our second was a banshee.

sleep schedule is key, routine is key. pick a time for dinner, then do bath, read 2-3 books, boom call it a night

nice-to-haves: my wife made us do this program called Taking Cara Babies and I'll be damned if it wasn't worth it. Disney+ has been a godsend. Snoo. Airpods Pro for keeping one in while calming baby down at whatever hour, for however long (lol).

when you take the kids out, gotta do man defense. 1 parent/guardian per child. you can do zone, you might be great at it, but that 10% of the time that you can't see/handle both is when something crazy happens

get used to being sick, they bring home all sorts of stuff from daycare. speaking of daycare depending on what city/town you're in i'd go ahead and lock that down. It's brutal in Mid TN.

research a 529 if you haven't yet, pick a good state and use their program. have family/friends donate to those (easy to provide links now) as opposed to junk presents.

happy to answer other questions if you guys have them

This right here daughter has been sick every other week since august with daycare stuff. Don’t look forward to that x2. We ended up just doing some Mothers Day Out program around us because legit daycare was so damn expensive right now. Luckily we both work from home so we are able to work out a hybrid MDO schedule.

I have my first due in a matter of weeks. 12/20 is the due date. Fiancé still wants to go to the game this weekend since we only live an hour away. Haven’t been to a home game because of the hills she’d have to walk, but Columbia is flat. Still concerning to me, but who knows when we’ll be able to go back to a game once the baby is here.

I am no doc, but if she is up for it I say go.

Ya'll talking babies and I've got my snip snap scheduled for January.

 

[SSVol]

All good... I didn't think the blue font would be necessary. Children are an absolute blessing!

Sorry. It was the second content complaint today, so my surveillance level was turned up.

Beamer isn't quite that tall though.

 

[gordonr24]

He’s a loser. Literally Butch Jones with the excuses, the slanted stats like winning the 4th quarter in garbage time, and the slogans but honestly a worst coach

Applebee's has the GOAT overnight accommodations.

 

[daugag02]

Stat takeaways:

• Mizzou blitzed 75% of the time and got 4 sacks
• Tennessee averaged 9.7 yards PER PLAY
• Hyatt averaged 14.6 yards PER TARGET (not per reception)

 

[butchna]

Anyone else disappointed in the Yellowstone season premiere?

No. Impossible to live up to the explosive premiere of the previous season, but I see a better storyline developing.

Bama is soft. and they lose Bryce young, who is carrying their entire team

Parents of VN, y'all got any advice for going from one kid to two? My wife is due any day now. Our son just turned 2 about a month ago.

I have two daughters and they were 21 months apart. We made sure that they grew up close to each other by doing these together. Every Friday night was family night. Now they are grown up and very close. In fact share an apartment together.
