So you’re saying the extra televised games are a “bandwagon fan’s showcase”? Everyone sawft who punted gets a better chance to see new “favorite” teams to choose from. And some backup “favorites” for the day when the first new “favorite” lets them down.

Arkansas gets that sneaky “please overlook me” spot before we play Bama, only to find that this game has been circled for a year and the team and fans will be out for blood. Hogs get slaughtered in the fall. Arky gets butchered.

It’s how they have come around to sharing the wealth generated by the huge stadiums and deep pocket fans. As long as they keep filling up the stadiums when they play cream puffs, they’ll keep playing them. Those are just the only games some fans can afford to attend. Did you see some of those prices for the uTerus vs Aggie game? Sheesh

“uTerus”

I was actually thinking of you when I wrote that because I know how you feel about people swapping teams.

Yea nothing wrong with saying another team is good or going to win but jumping on that bandwagon really hits a nerve for me.

Arkansas will get throttled in Knoxville..I worry more about going to MSU and the Freshmen QB they got developing into a better QB for next season..

Unless it’s me, and it’s just for fun, and I didn’t already have a team, and it’s the Dodgers.

The Pirates are shopping Jared Jones looking for a big bat.. Jones has 5 years left of team control.

I love ZZ but that sound bite doesn't reflect well on the UT education he's getting

Braves are probably dumb enough to trade Acuña.

Yea right, seriously though Pirates would probably take Olson off your hands and maybe a couple of decent minor league bats.

Kyle Tucker?

Kyle Tucker?

Yeah. This is exactly why I tune out off season mlb baseball.
How many sites wind up being a hypothetical trade when the click bait headline clearly indicates a trade has been consummated?

Get back with me in February…

I get my information off MLB Network sir. John Heyman and the others are insiders with knowledge about what's going on in the off-season.

Totally untainted by the opinions of player’s agents or team management… sure.
Go ahead and believe that.

…wdf is a day in the dugout without a little discord?

 

[chuckiepoo]

Thanks, I will.

Actually, I get it. It’s a pilgrimage for those ascending. After those first three tank years under Luhnow, I was all over the offseason trade rumors and free agency.

For teams teetering on the edge of a rebuild? Not so much.
