There’s only one way to watch a Tennessee Florida game. With reasonable hope, but a definitive knowledge that Florida will probably win

I can't decide whether I want to drink beer or some Jacked Up Mountain Dew tomorrow. After the Town and Country Days parade (our southern Illinois fall festival celebration), I'll probably start drinking during the USF-Bama game and listen to my Bama friend continue to complain about last week game, lol. I don't know what he's grilling tomorrow, but I know I'll have a pork chop sandwich during the parade. GBO!!

Went to the brewery downtown and then walked the streets with our beers. First time ever they allowed that. Great band and good friends. Looking forward to a great Vol win.

So I did a little drive by of Swamp Gas, and after showering the swamp slime off me, I parsed their score prediction thread to see what those lousy Gator bums are predicting for the game -

Out of 54 respondents, the consensus pick was Florida, 40 out of 54 voters, or 74% of voters, or about 3:1. The average final score prediction of all the posts was 25-23.

If we just take the 40 people picking Florida, the average score prediction was 27-20 for the Gators.

And if we take the 14 posters who picked Tennessee, the averaged score prediction was 31-17 for the Vols.

Seems like their fans are either convinced (barely) that Florida can eke out a win, or they're predicting Tennessee will double them up.


Now if you'll excuse me, I don't think one shower's enough to get the stink off.

I've read other fan's predictions for their teams for years.

It is almost a certainty that we (or any opposing team) will win if the majority of their fans are both predicting a win, but almost all predictions are very close scores and if more than about 5% of their fans pick their own team to lose.

Viols win this game. May be close going into the 4th, but I think we pull away.

Wife and I are headed down I-75 to Gainesville for our first experience in the swamp. Have heard all the horror stories some have posted on here, but we'll just have to take our chances. Plus, when you're 6'3" and 250+ lbs, people tend to leave you alone. Went to Baton Rouge last year and had a wonderful time. Here's hoping this trip turns out the same. After that we're heading on to Cocoa Beach for a few days. Go Vols!!!

I mentioned in this thread last week about a possible transplant for my wife. We just had a zoom call with the team at USC Keck medical center, and it looks like she's going to be the world's first ever bladder transplant patient. There's some ground work to do, so it'll likely be a couple of months. I'm just mentioning, because we need folks who pray to be praying if you will.

I wondered how Tiffany and the family were doing.. prayers for her and you all.. y’all take care 🙏🏾🙏🏾

In 2016, we beat fla for the first time in 'forever'... so my wife says, "this is historic - let's checkerboard the front yard!"; so just before Home Depot closes that night, we buy a dozen cans of spray paint, and 'til after midnight, sneak around trying not to wake the neighbors. So around 1:30 am, we're sittting around on the front wall, a bit sweaty, sipping wine, holding hands, thinking about what fun it would have been growing up as kids together. Probably my best Vol memory ever (though the W over Penn State, first night game ever in Neyland) is a close second... Think I'll swing by HD after golf today and get a couple of cans of paint; seems like it'd be a good omen.

Grahm Mertz sister on flight into Gainesville!

Nice people!

We didn’t get into details about one Mr. Pearce or Mr. Baron. They are nice people as well and will introduce themselves today to Mr Mertz!

Go Vols!

Anyone have details on Vols arriving to stadium today?

Also tonight is 100% Starfield. I said last week that the game felt antiseptic, and it still does feel that way, but it also gave me a lot of fun space guns to shoot dirty space pirates with, and then it gave me a space ship to shoot dirty space pirates with, and then it told me I could board their dirty space pirate ships and take them for myself, and after doing so a few times I realized that I had become a dirty space pirate, and now there's other people trying to shoot me and my dirty space pirate ship with their fun space guns.

But my gun is bigger. And dirtier. And space piratey-er.

I could write a dissertation on what I'd change about Starfield, but overall the "world" is sort of open and it's fine with you stumbling on things that are way out of your league, which I love because I view over-leveled enemies as sort of organic puzzle to solve - "how can I kill this thing and take its massively over-leveled weapon for myself earlier than I should have it?" And the game lets you do it. And then the game gives you ships and crews and outposts and housing and custom ships and why am I writing about this when I could be playing it?

My son has his very first soccer game ever this morning (he is 3). I've had a job where I've had to work weekends for the last 3 years. God came through and now I got a new job where I work 3 days a week, no weekends, JUST in time for football season!

That gives me PTSD. My oldest broke his arm really bad when he was 6 at an 8 a.m. soccer game on a Florida game day. Spent the day about 1 mile from the stadium at Children's hospital.
