McElroy doesn’t like TDs. He likes a QB who can turn around and hand the ball off to stud RBs. And occasionally hit a play action, or TE in the flat.

Interestingly the only ranked team this model has us losing to is OSU. The second closest is a tie with Bama. It even has us beating UGA by nearly 5.

Hayes says donors are financially positioned to pay the buyout, which currently sits at $21 million.


Boosters are unhappy with the direction of the program. They’ve threatened to withhold financial support.

Hayes suggests that barring a spotless run to end the season, Napier will be fired before year’s end. With that being said, the university may not completely relieve him of his duties.

Florida plans to ask its fired coach for help.​

“The hope is that Napier, who has a close relationship with a talented roster he built, will finish the season while Florida looks for its fifth coach since Urban Meyer resigned after the 2010 season,” Hayes writes.


LOL

It’ll be funny if Florida ends up with James Franklin.

Oof. Bringing back your star RB a week after a concussion? That’s just effing stupid lol. They must think they really need their run game but 7 days is not long enough especially a position where he is likely to see the majority of contact.

Who had flying green dildos and tortillas on their sports betting card?

HBCU's are a result of segregation but they themselves have never been segregated..

Yep, they try very much to get white students into the school. Friend of mines kid got into Howard many years ago. Average student but got a ton of scholarship dollars and walked out with a degree owing pretty much nothing! I didn’t know much about Howard at the time, but supposedly one of the best HBCU school in the country and decent admission standards. I just looked and average ACT 24, SAT in 1100’s and GPA 3.66.

There are a few HBCUs that are actually majority-white these days, and while most are majority-black as one would expect, they have significant proportions of white and/or Latino students.

AI does not "create" anything...it has no soul, no "divine spark"...it doesn't contemplate the beauty of a sunset or a mountain or a baby...all it does is copy and replicate what it has seen or heard from us a billion times and spits out some garbage fake replica.

I hate that these corpos have tricked people into thinking ChatGPT, Grok , and the rest of these tools are “AI.” They aren’t. What they call AI is just an overpowered neural net that can communicate and solve problems because it’s been trained to associate certain concepts, ideas, and words with each other through massive datasets. But even that’s a stretch, since it’s not actually learning the “thing” itself because it’s just tokenizing it into raw data (basically 1s and 0s). LLMs are not intelligent, not even close and shouldn’t ever have been called “AI”. You can’t truly look inside the transformer to see how or why it formed its associations because none of the associations would even make sense to a human. All of its “thinking” is done from statistical associations from incomprehensibly massive datasets.

True artificial intelligence would be capable of creating, not just copying. And learning! LLMs never learn because they are incapable. They are stagnant forever without new training data. In truth LLMs are just very advanced parrots. One day a true artificial mind will exist, but that day hasn’t come yet.

Yeah, crazy WVU used to be and Bluefield(sent my son a request to visit them lol). Still a few that hardly have any whites in their student population but for sure the Latino population is growing at all of them.

“Fire our coach and go get a home run hire” doesn’t exist anymore. Gonna have to be G5 HC or ace coordinator and hope they work

Crazy to think you fire your coach mid season and don't have his replacement locked up already.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I would love to advance to Rd2 of the playoffs and face an Indiana Hoosiers in football.

 

[tnvols72]

Deboer must really think that Miller has to play for them to win. He could very easily get this kid seriously hurt. No way Miller should even dress

 

[TheRain]

She really is something.

How awesome is it to have a stud interior pass rusher in Hobbs in the line up now. It was beautiful watching him push the pocket and affect the QB. Total game changer he is.

 

[JacketVol]

I think I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum from many on here. I think our pass rushers are good enough to not need to blitz much. Give the backend more bodies to make Simpson pause a beat and let the edges rushers pressure the qb.

And this one is not as good a runner

 

[Hardy]

Sure.

HBCUs were created because black citizens who wanted an education were very frequently barred from universities and colleges because of laws mandating strict segregation, particularly in the South. Segregated schools of the type in the post you originally quoted were created for the purpose of keeping black citizens out. HBCUs were created for the purpose of allowing black citizens to receive an education, not to keep white citizens out.

So yeah, that's the big one.

The initial post was about a segregationist school that blocked non whites. Of course, it no longer does that.



Your post is a great explanation for why HBCU’s were created. And a great response to the initial post.


The question is why are they still allowed. It will be litigated soon.

lol dude was the recipient of one of EB’s greatest hits. EB helicoptered him 4-5 yards backwards

Or does anyone know of a hotel that has shuttle services to games

Holiday Inn Express at the Kodak exit used to a couple of years ago. I have no idea if they still do.

Yep. Saban owned Sankey.

Offensive woes is also interesting.

I think the offense has had some issues here and there, but we're leading the SEC...

A three-and-out here and there only classifies as "woes" when you feel like you need to score every possession.

Let’s be honest…the only woes we have really had on offense is when we went conservative to run clock. Other than penalties that get us behind the chains or a turnover, has anyone really slowed us down any? That’s why I keep saying I wish Heupel would just run the offense the entire game and quit going conservative.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I'm wanting the team to take all of this negativity in the press personally so that when they step on that field Saturday, they play some good old-fashioned, hard-hitting, snot-bubbling football and knock the ever0loving piss out of those Charmin soft Bama asses and leave them crying.

Has anyone punched Bama in the mouth out of the gate yet? I would love to see us jump up 14-0 or so and see how Bama responds to that.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

He's a smart man.

I hope he has put a ton of extra pressure on himself to play well and win this game, considering the bad blood between his family and Heup. And then I hope he wilts under the pressure.
