Dead to me.

A man can change. Someone gave me the book to read so I obliged.

He actually writes a bit about Tennessee and Fulmer's staff. Tale as old as time: Very interested in being a Vol - but was ignored on recruiting visits and not prioritized.

There u go!

had this contraption as a kid that would play different basbeall card discs about history of said player.

it was neat, all narrated by Vin Scully

strike that, it was Mel Allen. Scully was the voice om MLB game in the Playstation era.

Found it.

Rattler could help improve USCe quite a bit vs last year. They won’t be world beaters but I doubt we’re up by 4 TDs or whatever it was at the end of the 1st quarter again.

True but we will be improved too.

I would be surprised if we sweep UK, SC, Mizzou and Vandy again this year. In a rush to proclaim we are on our way back, I think fans were too quick to call that an expectation rather than what it was, a hell of an achievement in year one.

Vandy is an FCS team sure, but those other three teams are not the trash can programs they used to be.

The problem is taking we "should" beat team 1, 2, etc individually and then turning that into we "should" cumulatively beat them all. But once you add up all the probabilities, it isn't that easy to get over 50% chance of beating all 4 as a group.

Even a pretty optimistic view, such as being the favorites by quite a bit:

9 over UK (75%)
11 over USCjr (80%)
14 over Mizzou (85%)
18 over Vandy (95%)

And yet the odds of beating all 4 is 48%. Just less than half of the time.

It's a toss-up (not that I have us that high vs UK atm, just an example). We have a decent shot at pulling it off imo, but it's not as simple as it's made to seem like these are the 90s version of those teams.

Can we transfer portal Marco over to the FF? Asking for friends.

Having watched Rattler play some at OU, I think it entirely possible we are.

Lol I thought you just saw it.

Wondering why he is not over there to enjoy all the “let’s argue about everything for no reason” crowd.

 

[Weezer]

All these people praising Rattler and Levis, both have to actually do something before I believe the hype.

 

[Devo182]

Weezer went full-on Coach speak

Lmao

 

[Jack Burton]

Definitely agree.

 

[Devo182]

Last year was Byron Young.

Ohh yeah he had a really funky situation now that you mention it.

Geez last September feels like forever ago.

Football can't get here soon enough!

I think USCe will be improved vs 2021. However, Rattler can have a bad attitude when things don’t go his way. If they have early struggles he’ll likely check out.

Yes they are. We’re much better and will sweep all four again. And for many years to come.

 

[Devo182]

Just my guess

QB +
RB Even
WR Even
TE +
OL Even

DL/pass rush +
LBs +
DB/NBs -
Safeties +

They might miss a bowl this year
UGA, A&M, at FL, UT, Clemson, at UK, and at arky could all be losses

There u go!

I think we'll be improved, too.

Nick Saban Calls Alabama’s 2021 Season a ‘Rebuilding Year’ - Sports Illustrated


Edit: If you are stacked with blue chips what is there to rebuild?

They should have last year. That was probabilistically a 5-7 team. Beamer got so lucky and doesn't even realize it.

In for a rude awakening if they're expecting to suddenly compete for the East (they do)

I have them pegged at 6-6. Another mundane season...

 

[franklinpence]

So their schedule is easier than ours? What’s the point of your observation then? Why even bother pointing out we have 3 cupcakes also when you know their schedule is easier? What is the point? To get everyone to go to the trouble to prove how much easier their schedule is? All during the middle of everyone talking about practice number 3? Then act you’re being attacked?

Are you Bruin? Just taking his place?

Oh goodness. That feels about right. Not a good spot to be in @MarcoVol
