    2024 Adidas SWAG watch

    I’ll be proudly wearing my green cap this weekend on the high seas. It looks sharp if anyone is on the fence about it.

    Brian Kemp signs NIL --- Executive Order

    Hadn’t he already signed an order granting cesspool “student-athletes” diplomatic immunity?

    Your five "must see" natural wonders

    I don’t recall it being too crazy (KTM). Now the little regional airports over there like Lukla at Everest Base Camp is a different story. I didn’t go there but I took a little puddle jumper from Jomson to Pokhara, and we were rapidly ascending / descending hundreds of feet at a time given the...

    Your five "must see" natural wonders

    Lots of good input here. If you’re into diving, I second Pennekamp (Key Largo). Goliath groupers the size of small cars will let you pet them since it’s all protected waters. If you love mountains and hiking and are willing to travel outside of NA, consider Kathmandu and doing the Annapurna...

    “NIL deals must be independent and not tied to enrollment, performance, or team membership” I believe that as much as I believe players were never compensated pre-NIL.

    On To VMI

    I’m usually piss and vinegar but don’t think it’s personal against the team. Nor do I see it as a reflection of last week. FCS openers are big since it’s game 1. FCS games for teams that are a ‘tough ticket’ do well too. This is neither. I hope we play ‘wake me up when September ends’ in...

    2024 non-GT games thread

    Fair enough for me. So many teams have a month + of foreplay so it’s tough to tell until mid-October contenders v pretenders. I’m a glutton for punishment and took ugag under 10.5 regular season wins so I’m pulling for Ole Miss to finally beat u(sic)ga.

    College Football Season Picks

    It’s a huge rivalry - Colorado / Colorado St. But to your point about treading lightly, this is the first season in a while, I don’t have much confidence on many picks. The transfer portal makes it really difficult since it’s hard to judge the intangibles of how teams are gelling. Especially...

    How good are the Quarterbacks we face?

    I don’t disagree with you. Take it with a grain of salt but according to ESPN’s odds, we’re almost twice as likely to beat Miami (38% chance) as Louisville (21% chance). I’d prefer both, lol.

    2024 non-GT games thread

    Just curious why Oregon is underrated. I’ll confess my east bias and middle aged bedtime and haven’t seen much of them. But they’ve been favored by 68.5 combined points and have won by 13. They’re a bit like Ole Miss and really won’t play a difficult game until mid-October. But Ole Miss...

    On To VMI

    You’re spot on. My post reads salty since I love BDS. Ultimately I trust Batt and think erring away from BDS early this season was deliberate to manage construction risk. Not exactly apples to apples, but I recall what a farce Vandy was with cranes all over the place - bad look. Nonetheless, I...

    Andrew Thacker was better, change my mind.

    Good point. My five year old did tell the zookeeper this past summer that I say that all zebras are bad.

    Andrew Thacker was better, change my mind.

    Too much time on my hands watching SNF. I made a flowchart to help with future crap threads. Did GT win? Yes - Celebrate No Find something to complain about Did u(sic)ga lose? Yes - Celebrate No… Has anyone been arrested in past week? Yes - make fun No - move on Did another ACC team or...

    On To VMI

    I’m not disagreeing with you but am pointing out that our free shoes game was touted as a “home game” for GT. No idea what that means. The free shoes band sure didn’t seem to be relegated to an insignificant position in the stadium. Being cuckholded into a contract with MBS isn’t Batt’s doing -...

    College Football Season Picks

    Good luck! It’s been a strange couple of weeks. I hit a decent play with Nebraska -6. I took it on an early (pre-week 1 line) so it was gambling within gambling… Gambling I’d get value from the early line over the actual line (check) and then obviously gambling that it actually covers (check)...

    Syracuse Post Game

    Speaking for myself at least, there’s a fine line between thinking we’re a CFP team versus just being sick of mediocrity. It’s been about a decade since I had confidence we could consistently defeat lesser conference foes. We were 3-0 all time against Cuse, destroying them under Gailey and...

    FBS v FCS Games

    I agree with others that the math works in terms of ticket sales and revenue offsetting paying off FCS athletics. Shortening the season would be sacrilegious but I’d prefer quality over quantity. FBS v FCS games are seldom worth watching and bowl games are rapidly losing luster due to opt outs...

    FBS v FCS Games

    I figured I’d share this likely unpopular thought on this while my stock is already low here to get it out of my system. I don’t get how FBS teams playing FCS teams is in the best interest of FBS teams and players. Seasons have crept longer with more bowl games (and now to a lesser extent, the...
