We’ll see how he feels after he squares up with Arion Carter

Farooq likes to hit. Send a safety blitz on 1st down and lay down the hammer.

Yeah im not finding anything downtown. Looking for like a $200 hotel just for a guy's trip 1 night. Ive stayed downtown before but dont want to spend 2 grand this time. Never rode a shuttle so dont know where to stay. Im leaning towards staying by Foothills Mall but that shuttle only starts 4 hours before kick off. We are assuming it will be a night game and would like to be on campus before the game all day if possible.

Dang it. . . I wish we still had Will Brooks. . .

I don't remember what I was looking for but last night I discoverd that Scott Stricklin, Florida's AD, went to Jackson Preparatory School as a youth which is famous as a segregation academy.

I had never even heard of a segregation academy before.

"At the time of its founding, a local member of the White Citizen's Council remarked that schools like Jackson Prep were established because the "educational results of such forced interracial congregation are disastrous for children of both the white and black races"."

"As of 1986, Jackson Prep had never enrolled a black student."

Black students can technically enroll there now, but Black parents say they don't want to send their Black kids to a segregation school.

"As of 2014, Jackson Prep's student body remained over 97 percent white."

That's a major yikes!

Check Strawberry Plains. It's close enough to drive to the Civic Colosseum garage and shuttle from there.

You train it with hundreds of thousands of examples until its miss rate is a small fraction of that of human refs. Then and only then you release it to let it do the job.

Please show where the "good refs". MLB, NFL, lol the NBA. I won't hold my breath, because they don't exist. Follow any sports team and what their fans say about the refs. It ain't in the pros and ain't in the college ranks. Humans simply aren't made for what we're asking them to do, with such a low acceptable rate of misses.

It's still subjective, and I have personally witnessed hundreds of well called games...in those games you barely notice the refs.

I ******* hate AI...it is not the savior.

 

[Jackcrevol]

that's fantastic

No different than an HBCU. . .

I'm unironically a huge JG fan. I never hated him while he was here (okay, maybe during the 2020 Kentucky game). He had more "signature" wins than Bray ever did.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And the games would take 8 hours if AI or sensors or robots called a game bc there is a penalty on damn near every play

Exactly.

 

[Aesius]

Remember when andy used to be ok at basketball?

Back when they had Kevin from The Office coaching them

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

By the letter of the law, Holding happens on essentially every single play. Calling it literally every single play would be an unwatchable product.

Exactly

It's not at all dependable and that's borne itself out repeatedly. I despise AI. It's stealing from actual creatives and producing a product that is worse than the worst of those creatives could have produced. It's not as good at anything as the most-pathetic attempt by any actual human being.

It's really funny people think we should replace corrupt officials with AI, but it might be a nice change. At least when they get it wrong it won't be on purpose!

 

[RandomUTfan]

Exactly

Which means refs can control outcomes by calling it arbitrarily...

The man. the myth.the legend

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Built in excuses already lol. So we don’t get fair calls at home or on the road right? So basically every SEC team gets fair whistles but us? Keep that tin foil hat On chief.

The refs are gonna miss calls that should go against us. Just like they are gonna miss ones that go for us. You guys are gonna have to stop with this ref crap. It’s every single game. You know there is NO GAME in the SEC that gets called fairly. NONE.

And the Bama fan comes in

 

[UTSuave’]

Wow!

 

[mrMet]

One might use deduction to see he's referring to games in general.

Someone who wanted to use your version of snark might say "we only have one game in Tuscaloosa this weekend" because he mentioned games.

The irony that Jack would get so defensive if somebody did that to him
