Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Congratulations!! Might I ask what you teach?

I’m in the social sciences but don’t want to get much more specific as several people know WHERE I work and I’d be easily identifiable. I probably already am

Tennessee is now -10 on some betting sites. That is a huge betting shift.

From -4.5 opening, absolutely massive.

Lots of FOMO.

Sending out wandering waves of solo petards was the best. Would absolutely infuriate folks with them

AOE3 online was top notch too after AOE2 faded. Ottoman delayed rushes...French hyperrushes using your beefed up villagers, late game with the Germans...was so much fun back in the day.

I have a petard.






















Dumbest dog I've ever had, but we love him.

No they are not...I swear you girly boys will gripe about everything we wear.

Just to try and understand..what in the actual hell is "gross" about the orange outline?

Just not my favorite. Didn’t like the black outline on the numbers during the PM years either.

As long as they win, I don’t really care

As long as the players like em and the coaches avoid talking about "drip" in embarrassing TiKTok videos (looking at you Dabo)...who the hell cares?!?


Edit: Peay cares. And he's cool. To each their own I guess. Just win baby

Go to about 25mins. Mostly a bunch of nothing, then a little more nothing when they finally talk about the game.

TB saying he might be a miss is way over the top at this point. He might not develop or adapt as they would like, but to say he's a miss is silly.

It’s not TBs opinion, it’s just the info from his contacts who have been in Fall camp. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it either way. Staes may not be ready today but he could get better and contribute later.

They don't expect much from NC State

What is that Blanton’s? How much on the 107? I could use one of those. Good price on the single barrel EH. I think I paid $120 for that the last time.

 

[mrMet]

Do I see some Little Book back left? Love that nectar.

Yep chapter 8!

 

[mrMet]

I’ll give you $55.99 for both .

Those are good prices for those bottles and I appreciate that.

I understand that establishments have to make their money, but they don’t have to make all of it on me!

Ironically, 55.99 is what we sell the EHT small batch for lol

 

[mrMet]

How about W12? Can you ship to GA?

99.99 but no, sadly TN law forbides any shipping

BOGO, bay!

Only if he gives a **** whether you believe or not.

Lol you have to ask yourself why you are getting upset over me asking for some context or a source about a claim AP alluded to in the offseason made on Holden Staes…I literally watch every podcast too so im sorry If I don’t believe everything that’s said on this board just based on face value…

-6.5 was opening for the week. Preseason lines and week of game lines aren’t the same.

Yes, I’m splitting hairs here but there is a difference is all lol

79.99 on Blantons. I can’t remember what the Gold runs off the top of my head.

69.99 for antique 107

Dammit to hello! I wish I was there.

4.5 was the true opening. Months ago.

6.5 was only after everyone saw both games...and 48 hrs passed. Even sunday it was steady below 6.

Plenty of time for anyone to get in under 5 points. That's what an opening counts for. Don't care about week lines, just openings. That shows the true change of opinion especially after week 1.

I need a beer or three.

We like to play fair for sure. It’s a double edged sword

we assume you are always drunk

Just keep in mind that quantity of money doesn't move lines, quality of bettors do. The books have profiles on everyone and will use sharp bettors in a given sport to let the market dictate the line. So when you see sizeable line movements like this one, it means that people with a good track record are seeing the number, taking the Vols, and the books are moving the line a half a point or a point. And then once it moves, more sharps are piling in at the new number. Tells you that the sharp money continues to like the Vols to cover even as the line has gotten bigger.
