Fascinating. I have read a bit about psilocybin, but know next to nothing about other psychedelics. For reference, in the spectrum of shroom doses (ranging from a micro dose to full ego dissolution), where are you seeing things like this?

Anywhere from 3.5 grams to 7 grams. I did 7 once. What a wild ride that was

Also. . . looks like Bama stopped paying attention to the little things again.

That is so funny because I listened to Butch Jones’ postgame on the radio yesterday. He said the reason they won yesterday was because his team is paying attention to the little things. He said Friday every player arrived to team meeting with their t-shirts tucked into their shorts. Staff did not have to remind anyone to tuck their shirt. He said he knew then they were going to win.

I think you’re probably correct. If my numbers are right,
UGA is in waiting on Texas -A&M winner
If Texas wins next Saturday they’re in SECC @11-1 say Texas loses to UGA they’re at 11-2 and in CFP seeding ?? Above UT or below??
If A&M wins they’re in @ 9-3 say they lose 9-4 would a four lost team make the CFP? I don’t think so.
I think A&M has to win Saturday and the SECC to be in the CFP and give the SEC 4 teams other than that it’s 3 imho🍊👊🏻

Agree A&M's only route is the bye.

But I think a 3 loss SEC team will have a shot to get in at this point. I just don't know who else is going to fill in the remaining spots, especially if any more madness occurs.

Assume for a moment all the highest rated teams, as of now, win their conference for simplicity's sake:

1) Oregon
2) TX
3) Miami
4) Boise St
Gtd 5th champion - Arizona St

In no particular order:
UGA
UT
PSU
ND
OSU
IU

I could see a logjam for the last spot such as:

- SMU (or would a bad ACC championship loss knock them down?)

- Clemson v USCjr winner

- OM - closer losses than Bama, much more dominant wins over UGA and USCjr

- Bama - just got wrecked by OU, but they have 3-4 wins as good as anyone in the country


And this is all assuming ND, PSU, UGA, OSU, etc. win this weekend. If UGA lost in Atlanta to TX, they'd surely stay in too with 3 losses, barring an injury to Beck or just a downright embarrassing loss.

So, I went and watched Toombs Co GA playoff game Friday night, and got to see Lagonza Hayward in person.

He's a specimen. Not huge. Didn't look like he has an ounce of fan on him. Planty of frame to add weight in our S&C program. He will be a problem on the field for opponents after S&C gets hold of him.

He's fast and hits hard. Seems to be in the right spot play after play on defense. Good instincts.

Plays both ways. Looks good as a receiver. Physical. High points the ball. Has the 'fight' in him for 50/50 balls. But he won't be playing on O. He'll be roaming in the backfield on defense, and he'll be bringing some pain.

The locals were telling me that he's a positive leader on the team. You can see it in-game. He was constantly in the ear of teammates, celebrating their good plays and it looked like giving instruction and encouragement. He was active putting teammates into position pre-snap. Seemed like a hugely positive guy throughout the game.

They won 59-21.




He seems to be all-in on the Orange. There was some worry in his thread about UGA. All I know is (having not spoken to him)... He was wearing an orange ribbon hanging off the back of his pants. He had an orange mouthpiece, and his teammates didn't. Orange is not a part of Toombs Co's color scheme. Not even close. They are red/blue/white.

And interestingly, having read some posts worried about UGA, a coming visit, and the UT loss to UGA this weekend... Locals said that Friday was the first time this year that he's worn the orange ribbon on his uniform. So, that could indicate that his "Go Orange" message is bigger this weekend than ever.


I repped the orange in the crowd. Not sure if he saw it. lol

Sometimes we do take this recruting too seriously and need to get off their backs. Not sure if his plant based diet will bulk him up enough though.

The times I did shrooms it was anywhere from an 1/8th to 1/4 ounce. Lol, definitely no micro dosing. I also usually did at least 3-5 hits of LSD except less my first few times and much more later in usage so it's hard for me to tell because I typically went for "face melting, tripping my nuts off".

LSD is different than psilocybin in that the more you take above a certain amount (3-5 hits of good quality in my experience) doesn't necessarily increase the intensity but does extend the length considerably. So full ego dissolution is my answer.

I think as long as Miami and SMU go into the championship with 1 loss each both teams will make the playoffs.

Does a loss to GT screw with UGA? What if they also lose to TX on the SECC?

Gotta come out Saturday playing very focused football... we start this slow crap we've been doing with penalties every other play and it will be very difficult to beat Vandy at home. They will be playing us like they did against bama, throwing everything at us but the kitchen sink and wanting nothing more than to push us right back out of the playoff.

We should not be seeing anymore first quarter performances from Nico like yesterday... the kid isn't a redshirt freshman anymore... he's run the SEC gauntlet and shouldn't be making some of the mistakes he's doing still.

Banks better step it up and actually game plan for their QB and be willing and able to make adjustments during the game. Defense and stopping their QB will definitely be the key.

This will be a much tougher win than most think. We've played a lot of spectacular football this season, maximizing the talent we have on the roster. We've also played some inexcusably bad football as well that had a lot of us scratching our heads.

I think we finally put it all together and come out focused, playing with our hair on fire, maximizing our talent, with a mission to take care of business and head back to Knoxville to wait on who we will host and pummel in the playoff. I hope the refs don't have other plans.

We were there but went to the concession stand as bama was about to score and missed it. Watched in person so many dang quarters without a score, and then miss it. We rarely go go bathroom or for food with the game being played. The one time we do.......

Big time deal there

We need to be ranked 6th or higher for that. 1 more spot to go.

2 cg winners ranked above us, 2 below (based on that ranking), leaves 5 more before us which would have us the 9 seed. Unless they’re going to drop someone above us who loses the ccg, we need one more loss ahead of us.
