Recruiting Football Talk VII

8 home games? They get 8?

Don't matter. They'll have 2-3 losses by the end of September and be like 1-3 in away games.

Asiago for cheese jokes, this was a Muenster of a failure...

Though you shall have ample time to provolone me wrong...

Have a Mozzarella of a day...

In my youth I enjoyed all the cheeses. Now my body has betrayed me and doesn’t take the lactose anymore. I missed milk for a little while. Then I thought about how weird it is to drink the milk of other species and I don’t miss it so much.

 

[SoilVol]

That's the most difficult schedule in CFB history. 1 non power 5 team is insane.

And teams like South Carolina and Kentucky get away with not scheduling an additional P5 game because of their permanent rivalries.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

That's a real cheesy joke....

I thought it was pretty gouda myself...

I'm curious how the 4 straight home games plays out in the future. I domt think it will be an every year thing, but I really hope it doesn't lead to 4 straight road games either.

It’s a Digable Planets kind of morning. Day full of admin work ahead of me. Close the office door, enjoy some music, and get to work!

Well Cheggars, I fully trust Greg Sankey and the SEC to make the right decision and to level the playing field.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

I applied.

Weed is illegal in Iowa.

Weed is illegal in Iowa.

Unfortunately that’s requirement to surviving having to live in Iowa.

Not a Phillies fan, but I do like watching Realmuto catch and throw. He should be close , if not in, the top 10 , in my opinion.

He had a 3 year run from ‘17 to ‘19 that was very good.

His ‘22 campaign was excellent. If he can put up more seasons like that he’ll have a good case.

So, 12 road games in 25?

Not Digable Planets, but saw Ricky Skaggs last night. First time in 20 years. Was a different kind of show, very upbeat, Christmas themed. Wasnt expecting much, as Bluegrass shows can be hit or miss.

Ricky is one of the most talented mandolinists to walk the Earth. Usually these guys surround themselves with excellent musicians, and last night didnt disappoint. I'm very selective about shows I see these days, as i'm old and picky. One thing I will add about small venues like Orange Peel, Down Home, or Martin Center....really the Tennessee Theater also. Is the intimacy of the music.

ETSU bluegrass played with these dudes. Easy to forget how much musical talent lives in this area. Barry Bales, Tim Stafford, Wyatt Rice, Ed Snodderly, Trey Hensley, are all associated with ETSU's program.

Anyone living in the Tri Cities should try to make a show to Martin Center. Local folks have pined for a venue at ETSU for years. ETSU outright refuses to use its tin can, or football amenities...so...




Almost forgot the most important thing. Ricky was NOT shy about his faith. Man, used to spend so much time and effort judging folks that did that. It was very refreshing to hear someone be so in tune, and who's focus is exactly where it needs to be.

@Titans Morans.....looks like my son and I are going to the Titans Seahawks game on Dec 24. I am looking for parking recommendations. I assume there are garages just across the river from the stadium. Any favorites or ones to avoid? TiA

 

[Big Orange#1]

There are two - Samford and UCF.

UCF is big 12 now.

How much are you wanting to pay vs how far you want to walk?

 

[jave36]

So does the youtubetv base package have SEC network?

Yes

 

[DarthVol1]

How much are you wanting to pay vs how far you want to walk?

Under a mile for sure. Prefer less than that. Not too concerned on $. Just want to be able to get out and head east without too much hassle.

Aged cheeses have most of the lactose removed by the cheese culture. You might be able to enjoy some of them still.

not for long

These are all premier parking lots or they have a person at the entrance taking cash. You could also park in fifth&broadway parking lot and walk across the pedestrian bridge. Unfortunately, infrastructure here is behind the times and we have no garages besides on Broadway (but it’s still an easy walk right across the pedestrian bridge). Also that lot right where that highway 6 sign is is cash parking I think. I can’t remember for sure
