Rank our opposing P5 QBs.


My go at it:

1) Milroe
2) Beck
3) Mccall
4) Mertz
5) Jackson Arnold (OU)
6) Blake Shapen (Miss St)
7) Taylen Green (Ark)
8) Brock Vandagriff (UK)
9) Whoever Vandy trots out

Way too high for McCall. I think he was solely a product of Chadwells unique offense and the fact that for the most part they played nobodies. Way too low on Vandergriff imo. I have a feeling he is gonna surprise a lot of people. UK has weapons.

1. Beck
2. Milroe
3. Mertz
4. Vandergriff
5. Arnold
6. McCall
7. Green
8. Shapen
9. Pavia

Ok I have a serious question for you guys.

Are we setting ourselves up for heartache this season? No one and I mean no one on the national level expects us to be very good this year! Before you jump all over me I know they are wrong often, such as Fl St being ranked 10 and losing to Ga Tech.

Is it because Nico only has one game under his belt? Are we just seeing everything through orange shaded glasses?

What are all of us seeing that they aren’t?

I think we’re correctly ranked there in the top 15.

We could go 9-3 regular season and that’s still an improvement over last year. Probably not good enough for a playoff spot. A great season.

10-2 should get us in unless the playoff field is weird. 10 wins an excellent regular season.

My primary concern is the secondary though I think it will improve throughout the season. The second concern is our pattern of playing a stinker game against a lesser talented opponent like 2022 @South Carolina or 2023 @UF. If we can improve both areas we have a shot at an excellent season.

Woke up wondering if anyone considers it officially game week yet. I've always considered Monday the beginning of game week. Because Sunday is still the weekend...the end of the prior week.

I was also always taught god rested on the sabbath...the 7th day. And that was of course Sunday, duh...that was the day of rest! First you go to church, then watch NFL, everyone knows that. But I've also seen businesses say Sunday is the first day of the week and its why calendars appear that way...what? How can that be? Down the rabbit hole I went to show these morans what I was taught was the proper sabbath.

Apparently for catholicism and protestantism the sabbath is observed on Sunday. Otoh, Eastern/Orthodox Christianity observes it on Saturday. What gives?

Ok, then I went to the predecessors to settle this once and for all...Reform Jews traditionally observed it on Sunday, though almost all do on Saturday now. Saturday is also common for others in Judiasm...well that's a killer, those folks should know what's what.

Then...out of nowhere...I laid this whole silly argument aside whence I seent the light and converted religions immediately. Ladies and gentleman, I am officially now an Ethiopian Christian. I shalt require 2 days rest henceforth. Please respect my decision.

I just read where Chattanooga is the preseason favorite to win the Southern Conference. Also 20 players from Gardner-Webb transferred to ETSU during the off-season.

Chattanooga is also ranked top 9 in both major fcs polls, I think theyll be tougher than Kent State and UTEP

Going by college football only, I always considered Sunday the beginning of game week. Saturday or game day is the end of the game week.

So glad. Like turning and shaking your gift wrapped present up before opening.

What's the fun in it? Seriously, had $20 at Greenbrier to do slots. Just wanted to see what all the gobbleygook was about.

If there was a Dollarivorous monster, w/ a metaphoric mouth and metal teeth, that had an insatiable appetite for our money. It would be gambling. No joke, a magician couldnt have made it disappear faster.

How in blazing hell is that fun?

Happy Sunday

August 25, 2024: We are not of this world nor partakers of division. We are citizens of the Kingdom of God. Our allegiance is to the King of kings and Lord of lords. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Turn $20 into $250 by hitting the bet you studied and picked and then see how you feel.

Slots doesn't compare to sports betting, imo.

You should use a referral code and get $100 free and try to turn that into a couple k. That's pretty fun when it isn't your money.
