Florida and Arkansas are in the bottom half of the SEC in rushing defense. I'd love to see a 200+ game with 2+ rushing TDs against both.

Yes. And put a stop to the third ranked guy there.

If every game was played in Yankee Stadium, he’d actually have less home runs. 57 instead of 58.

70 in Cincinnati is crazy lol.

Good catch, and yeah, makes me wish he suited up for my Reds!

View attachment 681697After careful consideration and an increase in the offering from fanduel I have listened to the majority in here. Very successful weekend. Will take half of the winnings and put it on Tenn vs Arkansas spread! GBO!

Good call

As we all know, college football is more than just a game. My dad is in his late 70s, has cancer, and doesn’t have a lot of energy. He typically goes to bed early. I talked to my mom a few days after the Oklahoma win. She said, “Your dad stayed up and watched that whole game THEN he watched all that after talk they do. The next day he watched more of that talk and then a replay of the game.”

I could tell just from what she said it was an important win to him after all these years of disappointment. I’m thankful for that. I did talk to him about it later and he’s obviously excited about the season.

I am ready for Bama. I want it

All our games besides the first has been at night, and look like the next 2 are as well....yall guys like or dislike or doesn't matter?

I love the night games because I can watch them on my patio using the projector.

Interesting seeing us have so many night games this year.

Thanks sec for leaving CBS

70% of Judge HRs would only go out in Yankee Stadium over the short RF porch huh? Got a link to that?

I had to look this up. Not a Yankees fan by any means. I saw a highlight package of all 58 HR's. 5 of them were probably the benefit of being in Yankee Stadium. Looks like the LC/C/RC dimensions there are not short, so anything other than straight RF is legit. He hit some bombs this year.

So because I was intrigued, per the expected HR stat on baseball savant, Judges HR totals for 2024 per home park are as follows:

BAL: 54
BOS: 49
NYY: 57 (his home park)
TB: 50
TOR: 56
CHW: 57
CLE: 56
DET: 49
KC: 45
MIN: 53
HOU: 53
LAA: 62
OAK: 50
SEA: 53
TEX: 52
ATL: 50
MIA: 49
NYM: 55
PHI: 61
WAS: 62
CHC: 49
CIN: 70
MIL: 64
PIT: 50
STL: 53
ARI: 51
COL: 59
LAD: 63
SD: 51
SF: 53

So, by the actual numbers, Judge would have more HRs in a quarter of MLB ballpark than Yankee stadium. He's obviously mistaken.

Yea it was an incredibly stupid thing to actually type out, and hit post on.

Doesn’t even begin to pass the smell test. The idea that for any player, 70% would only be out in one park…

What is going on in Cincinnati lol?

Not enough to afford anyone.

Yea, if he was a left handed hitter, poking balls over the short porch - maybe….

But it’s Aaron Judge. He hits 450 bombs at a pretty good clip lol.

70% is so insanely silly.

VolNation don't give a crap about Aaron Judge and the Yankees. Did I phrase that correct @VolNRaleighNC

I feel like we never play FL at night in Neyland. This will be great.

night games bring out the beast within

Neyland is a different monster at night

He's got a lot of ground to make up if he wants to catch Jeanty unfortunately.

Sampson is plenty great though!

Exactly Right. Volnation only cares about the Big Red Machine.

 

[DD4ME]

Too many for the BIG 10 lol

 

[knoxvol52]

Too many for the BIG 10 lol

That would leave 1 G5 bid and 5 bids between ACC and Big 12. Sounds fair to me...

 

[jordan4vols]

Too many for the BIG 10 lol

I hope that doesn’t mean capped at 4. This year for instance UT, Tex, Bama, and UGA are clearly the top 4 but Missouri (schedule) and Ole Miss could argue and I’d hate to have a similar year where we go 10-2 against the schedule and some 11-1 Missouri gets in or 10-2 Iowa because the Big 10 has to have four. Seems dumb to me.
