Just purchased a 1982 World’s Fair hat. I don’t know why or what I’m going to do with it, but I felt like it had to be done

I was there. Still have my name written in Chinese from the World’s Fair on display at my house…guess you could say I’m pretty cultured lol

 

[SweetasSoda]

Is it pronounced graphics or jraphics?

Wasn't that a series of movies with dinosaurs? Jraphics Park, or something.

Hooker is going to save our program.

Heupel will simply show his progression from VT and we are going to land that top QB talent in the next couple of years that levels up the program

agreed Nashville should have a team and I think they will here at some point. It would be awesome. But Braves fans are literally everywhere in large part thanks to TBS. They have a pretty massive fanbase. Sometimes ppl forget that. They’re in every state and always will be. I swear I’ve run into them all over this country when traveling esp out west.

From what I’ve read/heard, MLB isn’t interested in expansion and essentially won’t allow it (at an expansion fee of over 2 billion dollars, it’s all but banned) UNTIL they get Oakland and Tampa’s stadium situations figured out

I'm not sure thats a good thing. I mean they have to maintain average to play. So how is a kid that is lazy in the classroom going to stay eligible ? Kids that don't qualify usually go the JC route and learn that they have to apply themselves. Don't understand how this has a positive impact on any culture

What I’ve heard from Heupel in the last week –

Evans could have gone back into the game against South Carolina.

We’ll have everybody back this week with the exception of Mitchell.

Evans has been getting more work in practice as the week has gone on.

SECstats defines explosive run plays as 10 yards plus. 21.92% of Evans 73 runs are considered explosive, 20% of Whitehead’s 25 runs are considered explosive, 15.91% of Small’s 44 runs are classified as explosive, 16.67% of Hooker’s runs, including sacks, are deemed explosive.

Evans leads the running backs in broken tackles percentage at 42.47%, Small is at 22.73%, and Whitehead is at 32%. Hooker is at 51.52%.

Whitehead is the only running back right now with no negative yardage plays, Small has 1, and Evans has 4. For runs of 20+ yards, Evans is at 4.11% of his carries, Small is at 2.27%, Whitehead is at 4.00%, and Hooker is at 4.55% of his runs.

I suspect Evans if he doesn’t play won’t be because he can’t play. I suspect Heupel is just managing our roster to put us in the best position to compete going forward through the season. The thought occurs to me that we want Evans at 100% and hungry as hell going into Alabama.

I said after the Florida-Alabama game that I didn’t think Alabama was up to its usual standard this year, especially on defense. Last week Texas A&M matched their season high offensive output of 41 points against Alabama to win the game. The only other game they mustered that many points was against Kent State to open the season. In that game they hand King at QB. They were 3-2 when Bambi showed up in College Station. Texas A&M’s offense, both total and scoring, after their performance against Bambi, improved to 84th best in the nation.

In commenting about the A&M-Bambi game early last week I said the only advantage I thought A&M had was they’d be at home. Well, this week we’ll be at home but that won’t be our only advantage. It does however need to be an unbelievably overwhelming advantage. Last week A&M fans affected the outcome of their game; we will do the same this week, only more so.

We jumped out to a 35-0 lead on South Carolina last week and then sort of mailed it in from there. A couple weeks ago Alabama jumped out to a 35-0 lead on Ole Miss and finished the game off with a 4th quarter TD.

I watched Pittman’s Monday presser yesterday and he pointed out the same things I did in earlier comments that led to their loss to Ole Miss, missed a ton of tackles and busted coverages galore.

We’re having to manage a bunch of guys with bumps, bruises, strains, sprains, aches, and pains. There’s still a lot of football left to play this year. If Evans is dressed and on the sideline then obviously he’s an option this week, if not then no.

After the game last week, Jaylen McCollough was asked about his interception in the endzone, the play which according to Shane Beamer was the most critical play in the game and could potentially imperil South Carolina’s College Football Playoff hopes. Jaylen revealed that he’s been playing with a cast on his hand and that has cause him to have extra focus on catching the ball. It was his 3rd on the year and is 2nd most in the SEC. He said he has to squeeze the ball more when trying to make the catch. Velus Jones was sitting next to him. Velus said, "don’t take it off. You need to keep it on. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."

We're inside the 48-hour preparation window before kickoff. No time for whining. Get locked in. #GBO

Bro’s I also live in Fort Mill. (Actually tega cay, but address says Fort Mill)

I dated a girl from ole tega cay. I still talk to her from time to time, but she moved to Charlotte

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Middleton had a bunch of trouble in highschool(s) too

I really do feel bad for him. He’s got a decade of poor decisions. I wish there was a voice he respected enough to guide him to maturity

 

[volbeast33]

More nugs: didnt get to see the defense do walkthrough but heard Theo is definitely starting…… didn’t think Simmons is suppose to play but he did do the hydration test today so there is a chance….. more bad news…..Cooper was not a full participant in practice but he did practice…. He was not in the part of the walk through he saw but not sure if he rotated in some.

Peter Pan is GOAT

Smuckers all day is > Peter Pan or JiF

 

[tnvols72]

Nah, Jeremy has learned. Let the big dog eat.

If you go back and watch his int against Mizzou as he was cutting back across the field he was changing the ball in his hands and just about fumbled it.

 

[drvenner]

Now we have a lot of folks who owe Brice an apology…

Not really.

Tampa needs to move to Nashville

 

[Ron Swanson]

Did some digging today and it’s my understanding that Evans did some running and cutting on the side. Final decision will be made in pregame tomorrow. I expect him to try and give it a go tomorrow if he can handle the pain and can push off on the ankle.

I would love to see Beckwith get in and go off, but he doesn't appear to have a good history to make this hope very logical.

What's been the story with beckwith? I've been AWOL since the UGA game last year.

You know how big time college football works. Once they get in then it's hard for them to fail out. I could see the numbers of not academically eligible kids go up, though. I wish there were an avenue for some kids to bypass college like in baseball. Some are just not college material, especially at 18. Some don't have the maturity to have the discipline to apply themselves to be successful academically.
