When you add in Stark and Burke's power pick-off at first base the previous game -- a huge turning point in beating LSU for the SEC tourney championship -- it's clear how much improvement we've made in that department.

It was a weakness the last two years. Guys clearly worked on it. Stark, in particular, has really upped his throw game. Deserves lots of credit for it.

Could be full of whoop-azz, for one thing.

Alternate/new uniforms coming soon? Peep the last few seconds of the video

TRI star helmet...

I think you're right about the smokey grey. Aren't we do a new variation of it for the next couple years?

 

[Brillovol]

gonna be a travel nightmare, but needs to be done. I saw the choice lane idea the other day, maybe even elevated iirc.

The choice lanes in Nashville will definitely end up elevated. I’ve seen the preliminary designs and there’s nowhere to go but up. Look for much of the same in Chattanooga.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Well we have a few here, but mostly in west TN. There’s all kinds of different intersection designs. IDK if anyone has gone to Orange Beach, but they have U-turns errwhere now.

I tend toward roundabouts as the best in most situations however.

Hwy 66 in Morristown has gone crazy with U-turns.


Instructions:
Merge onto 2 lane hwy going the opposite direction
Merge over to the fast lane
Merge in to the U-turn lane
Commit a U-turn
Merge into the fast lane, finally going the intended direction
Merge into slow lane to avoid getting ran over



California sorcery!!!

Apparently we will have a new variation of the smokey gray every year until 2026, or whenever our contract with nike expires

Pursuant to the Nike contract, we unveil a new Smokey gray uniform each year until at least 2025.

I hope y'all go big with it. One thing Atlanta did wrong was to do and never stop doing too-little forever. Adding one lane, for example, when they should have added three. I would think a big project would want to look out at least a few decades ahead. Or am I missing something? No expert.

They are safer tho. That conflict point diagram I posted before tells the story. The most dangerous movements you can have are left turns from a side road. That’s almost always a serious crash when it happens.

And those have origins in the Midwest and Texas, not Cali.

 

[drvenner]

Can confirm. Don't know how to handle 4-way stops, and I nearly got in several altercations with their incompetence.

I'll say more about roundabouts later...

Eff it. I'm going.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Did you put an expansion tank on it?

No

I just replaced an old Whirlpool with a Rheem. They were both 55 gallons but the Rheem is a little taller.

I was listening to an infectious disease specialist talking about the bird flu and the swine flu. He stated that they were very different and how they were cured was especially different. He said that the bird flu requires a solid oral dose tweetment and the swine flu requires an oinkment.

 

[drvenner]

You shut your whore mouth. I'm TN bred, born, and raised, and I love em.

Seriously tho, I've designed several of them and am a huge believer. It's an entirely safer intersection design that moves traffic more effectively. And if you can't drive a well-designed single-lane roundabout, you don't deserve to have a license. Here's why they're safer, showing the number of conflict points in each intersection type:

Engineering nerd! But, I wholeheartedly agree.

In Nashville, going big will be to have them on I-65 eventually as well. That gives a good altenrate route.

On I-24, it’s going to be 2 additional lanes in each direction on I-24 til you get to 440, then it will split off. Many have just added 1 lane, so adding 2 is a huge jump.

The downer of it all is that even touching the downtown loop is years of environmental efforts. That’s not gonna happen anytime soon, but it doesn’t stop me from having my wish list of improvements.

Well, I know your problem now. Apparently, you are getting Rheemed every day.

Have I mentioned how much I hate plumbing?

Can switch back to an outhouse and a well hand pump for all your water…

Concerning bad drivers, I will say that everywhere I've ever lived people have claimed to have "the worst drivers." I think it might be a thing like talking about the weather. Something everyone can agree on, for a change. I think complaining about roundabouts may fall into the same category.

When I was in Texas, in some of the rural areas, you had an exit ramp off the highway/interstate that proceeded across a two way side road..you literally were exiting at 60 and had to cross an opposing lane of traffic. The side road had stop signs each way, but you had to look 120 degrees over your left shoulder at an elevated ramp. About got me in trouble the first time.
