Since when has the preseason AP poll ever been remotely accurate? For example, in every year of its existence, a top 10 team preseason ends the year unranked

It's quite predictive actually and better than Vegas preseason.

That said, absolutely no one is great at predicting before the season even begins, to your point.

But it's a nice barometer and does correlate to wins.

If anyone is interested in picking up some Indian tea, hit me up and I'll tell you where.

Situation: free shipping lowered to $42 minimum order; 30%-off sale for Indian Independence day; add-on discounts of up to 15% based on order size; and a new 25% tariff dodged on all tea that lands here (not ordered) by Aug. 27. Sale ends Aug. 15 at midnight. They ship fast, about a week. Don't let McGill buy it all!

One thing no one is talking about…

We essentially get three weeks to prepare for FL before playing them…. We have a bye week and then play NM state before UF. I can guarantee we will try to run up the score and sit our players as quick as possible to be ready to play them.

Schedule couldn’t line up better to beat them in the Swamp.

Someone published an article or posted to X. Then A to Z swiped it and then padded it out with many paragraphs of meaningless drivel to make people think they wrote an article. At the very end, there is the sentence they swiped. The quote (which is linked) accounts for 100% of the substance in whatever A to Z deceitfully cobbled together in the formulaic, embarrassing, and time-sucking way.

Then they re-word the (someone else’s) quote in the most clickbait way they can imagine; and that becomes their headline. 🙄

Thanks for responding. My coworker keeps telling me the fast is easier if my body is in ketosis. I'm trying to mentally prepare but other than eating lower portions and cutting down on sugar/carbs, I'm not doing anything else. Did you prep for your fasting or did you just go for it?

Fasting will automatically put your body into ketosis I'm pretty sure.

That's what I thought too.


Have you fasted?
Click to expand...
I have but never for more than a couple of days. I have done juice fasts too which, if I were someone diagnosed with something chronic, I would do before taking any other treatment. I hate it too! I can't stand the taste of vegetable juices. But it really does work. You can heal from almost anything that way I'm convinced.

It’s a mental thing with FL at the Swamp. Always has been.

As @MarcoVol said, only 12 of the 25 last year ended the year ranked. Thats not predictive of anything more than us on this board creating our own top 25

Which one of you is this?

It’s wild how many 20 to 30 something’s want to live like this. I get it. Things are expensive. Who doesn’t want to just travel and lounge around all the time? Live in a van, or boat, make some money on YouTube but it will get more difficult to monetize as there are so many doing the same.

What do carbs have to do with anything? You can easily google if fasting puts you into Ketosis. You made me second-guess myself so that's what I just did.

I was agreeing with you, hombre.

Carbs have to do with ketosis, which is when one's body begins using fats for fuel. Ketosis begins in an absence of carbs since the body will use carbs for fuel before fat. As such:

If there is nothing coming in (for the body to burn for fuel), then there's no carbs coming in (for the body to burn as fuel--thus the body will burn stored fat, inducing ketosis).

Tranquilo, amigo. Tanquilo.
