No Corso on damn this week.

Does Vegas usually do this? I don’t recall them being so heavily involved in advertising where the money is getting bet on a game, as well as coming out and saying they need one of the teams to win, considering all the money coming in on the other team. This is extremely concerning for me. When money is on the line, I never put it past anyone to do anything shady to affect the outcome.

Yeah, since sports betting has become more main stream theyve been doing this. Every people have been posting books biggest liabilities for a little bit now.

On the other hand, if they were planning on doing something shady, they probably wouldn’t be advertising the circumstances that would lead to the shadiness.

Also, Vegas is making a killing on the liberalized sports gambling environment around the country. The best way to derail that gravy train would be to get caught in some kind of ref-bribery scandal.

Vegas has really gotten me on the verge of being black pilled. They really are confident in us not just losing, but being dominated it seems like.

They are seeing the MASSIVE (on paper) talent differential and betting heavily that this is the week it finally matters.

I also have never broken my D.A.R.E. pledge that I gave in 4th grade. I am pure. Long live Daren the Lion.

They really put 'lyin' right in the pledge?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If it makes you feel better, we have had them flummoxed all year. They have no idea how to value us it seems like.

I understand why...what our coaches have done with this roster makes zero sense. It breaks all the known truths of CFB.

Bobby Bowden encapsulated those accepted truths best "It ain't about the Xs and Os...it's about the Jimmies and Joes"

 

[Glitch]

How dare they. I, for one, have never done such a thing.

Now that I'm older and know more I fairly certain D.a.r.e got more kids hooked on drugs than it did off them...It's quiet the story if u ever take the time to dig into it.We as a society tend to look back on alot of things we thought were productive or good for us with that "Wtf" were we thinking look.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Some people just don't use critical thinking skills. You have to look over them.

Speaking of such, cheers to Norm, and we'll allow him to give us a lesson in the use of logic:

I think this is an update on votes made in Tennessee. Not nationwide

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We need a couple of these today.

Lol...if we do, instead of thousands of fans in orange going crazy, there will be thousands of fans in red standing stock still with shocked incredulous looks on their faces...kinda like this or or

That picture would be amazing

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You are spot on. Speaking of this topic, where are all the "fans" that told us not to do this to ourselves this year. Who told us that being optimistic is just setting ourselves up for it to hurt more later. Who told us that we need to take off our orange glasses and be like the "realists." Who apologized and said they were just "keeping it real." Yeah, about that.......

I'm right here, and you are a freaking bald faced liar if you say you expected THIS to happen.

What this team is doing is dang near miraculous.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We can just disagree. Mullen is a great developer of an offense and at the QB position. But look at those classes at UF and tell me who is playing pro ball. He is goofy and cannot recruit at a level that is needed to sustain elite status.

He did well at MSU because of the instate talent and juco system there. Sure, he did well for their program, but he also feasted on weak competition their too. It’s only been recent that the SEC required a P5 OOC game on the schedule. Kentucky is their permanent East game. I said all of this when people clamored for him at UT. He was not a fit at UT, and my opinion has never wavered.

In essence..."Meh"..

Interesting fact I just realized: Kirby Smart went 8-5 in his first season. In his second season (2017) he got Georgia to #1 after Week 8. They later went on to lose to Bama in OT in the national championship game.

But he had lots of talent to start with

Bruh why can’t we have nice things. A little surprising too, I’ve never not been ID’d in Neyland.

@Christian Lowe … just sharing this before the topic gets full on into game day…
‎The Rich Roll Podcast: Neuroscientist Matthew Walker On Why Sleep Is Your Superpower on Apple Podcasts

I’m not usually into “wellness” podcasts, but one of my brothers sent me this and I thought it was FASCINATING! Really makes you re-examine your attitude toward sleep and reevaluate your daytime habits as they might affect a good night’s sleep.

And it sounds clichéd but me, operating on a full quality night sleep, is orders of magnitude more productive and more capable of enjoying the next day. Especially when I’m around coworkers or friends who are clearly groggy and sleep deprived and pounding the energy drinks just to get through the day.

If you’ve got a long drive ahead at some point, throw this podcast on and give it a listen.

They really just had a girl sing a song about the color “Tennessee Orange” on GameDay and then finish off by barking like a dog. Athens is a hellscape.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

fml.

Welp, when in Rome.

YW, morans.

It will haunt you. We cant pass an excavator without my son saying 'excavator Daddy'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Guess i'm thankful for Blippi.

My grandchunk loves earth moving machinery too. That one is one of his favorites...lol.

you're saying 45 is too old for having young kids?View attachment 510384

We just got home from Disney yesterday! Took my son and he loved it!

 

[bluegrasser]

My youngest was rooting around in my office yesterday and said “Dad, why do you have an old Coke bottle?”
I was 9 in 1985 and my neighbor worked in marketing for Coca Cola and got us these commemorative bottles.
SEC champs - but look at the schedule, really interesting group of teams we played that year!

Pure as the driven snow of Columbia, maybe.
