Must have been Hal Lewis.

These blue check Twitter accounts only care about engagement. This is a clear bait to generate engagement. Everyone knows the lyrics to Rocky Top at this point. They've heard it a thousand times.



And it looks like much of the engagement is other blue checks. Twitter has become such garbage. Well over 50% of the activity is just bots now.

This genius who thinks Rocky Top “down in the Tennessee hills” is actually in North Carolina… did I hear correctly that this is Joe, “the father of his beautiful wife”?

We’ll never see Jermod McCoy in Orange again.

That would suck. Is that confirmed, general consensus or feared

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I want to see one where he finds out he’s a dad and it’s Forrest saying to Jenny:

“Is he smart… or is he like me?”

And he’s wearing a bama hat and bama polo

on it!



I made this one a few weeks ago.




GO VOLS

150 if you're lucky. It was like 500 on midnight tides. Ended up being my favorite series ever, especially after a reread, but it was a struggle sometimes.

Reread....maybe when I retire..ha.

Read any Joe Abercrombie? I really like his stuff. All characters are pretty gray.

Not
Playing
In
Orange
Again

Sad face

 

[DD4ME]

You think he will play if we make it to the postseason - at any point?

I don't mean to sound cynical, but if his agents have convinced him of a 1st round draft pick independent of him playing... no I don't.

Just give me McCoy back for Oklahoma. 10-2 gets us in. That’s the mission.

 

[DD4ME]

Do you speak English...

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Dadgummit I wish we'd won that Georgia game...

Yup. Would have been cool to beat Bama, UGA, and UF in the same year. Maybe we can rematch UGA in the championship

That would be nice.

And I made this one when @Glitch was in his "creative" phase.....

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sam Houston vs. UTEP

One team will win!

That 78% Blue Chip Ratio doesn't factor in the transfer portal at all. A lot of those blue chip players are playing somewhere else this season.

I did misspeak, because their actual BCR is 89% (according to the literal BCR methodology used, a club we just joined this year for the first time since its inception at 54%...THANK YOU Coach Hype).

I was calculating their actual, on roster, BCR, which includes all ins and outs. Using the Team Talent Composite. 64 bluechips out of 82 players. We are at 61% by this calculation (47 out of 77). To your point, a much smaller gap going by the team talent composite. Currently ranked 16th vs Bama at #2. Yet the gap between the tops and middles is closing. Yay parity.

I have used and shared their simulator many times. Let me say I have never seen a tie and apparently it is very very rare within their model which goes out to 3 decimal places. Neither of them or their guest picker selected the Vols, but i am good with knowing...33-33 (3 being a lucky number to me)

A growing consensus

 

[Jackcrevol]

Why are the Blue Hens allowed to hold? huh? why??

Are you figuring it out manually? Because the official Blue Chip Ratio put out annually does not factor in transfers. It has Alabama at 83%.

Not sure Georgia's good enough to get to Atlanta, but I guess we'll see.

No, I used the same source as you.

83% is their 2020 BCR. Keep scrolling. The top teams are teetering at 90% these days.
