bovada has set the over/under on the total number of wins for tennessee at 6.5 for the 2018 football season, tied with three other southeastern conference schools and behind seven others.

Alabama and georgia led the league, at 10.5. Auburn was next at 8.5. Florida and mississippi state, both under first-year coaches like the vols, are set at 7.5, as is south carolina. Tennessee, lsu and missouri were all set at 6.5.

Alabama has the best odds at defending its national championship, with bovada setting the number at +220. Georgia is fourth, at +850, behind clemson (+550) and ohio state (+750).

Tennessee, at +35000 to win the national championship, will season against west virginia, which had its win total set at 7.5 with +6000 odds of winning the title. The vols and mountaineers will kickoff the 2018 season sept. 1 in a neutral-site game at bank of america stadium in charlotte, n.c.

GOT is not porn with a storyline. Methinks, you have not seen much porn. :)

It has been Skinemax worthy softcore at times. The story is great without it, like I have said before, the sex is not portrayed that way in the books at all, and the show would still have been successful if they had tamed it down imo.

I know KKC was always meant to be a trilogy, but never thought there would be such a long gap between 2 and 3.

Are you sure about ASOIAF though; I remember reading a while back that GRRM said he always intended for there to be at least 7 books.

I am like you though; going to be tough for GRRM to finish 6 & 7 at his age. But if I remember correctly, Christopher Tolkien had to finish up the last of his father's work on TLOTR.

GRRM’s very early planning for the series was to write it as a trilogy. But once he got into writing the war of the 5 kings, he realized he had much more story to tell.

He’s not really into doing a lot of neatly structured planning and outlining for his writing. He’s compared his writing to gardening a lot in the past: he likes to plant the seed of a story, water it, and see how it grows when he puts time into it.


That’s a big part of the reason he’s taken so long since the 3rd book to publish. He originally intended to just have 5 year gap after Storm of Swords and go straight into Winds of Winter. But he found himself having to spend a lot of his writing explaining why the characters were where they and how they got there, so he ended up saying screw it and writing a book about the 5 year gap. But then that really kind of snowballed on him and he had too many pegs for one book, but no place that made a lot of sense around the middle as a stopping point, so he and his publishers decided to split the book up geographically and have books 4 and 5 taking place more or less concurrently.

With the 5th book, he originally intended to end with the battles in Mereen and in Winterfell, but again the book was getting too long and publishers talked him into taking what he’d written for those and pushing it to the next book. When the 5th book was published, he already had a head start of 100 or so pages on book 6 because of that.


As for someone else finishing his work, I’m kind of skeptical. GRRM May come around, but he’s been somewhat hostile to the idea of someone finishing his work for him before. Also, because of his writing style, I’m not sure whatever we’d get would be that reflective of what GRRM would end up writing anyway. He’s had some broad strokes planned for a while, but he’s known for making so many changes as he writes his characters and gets into their heads. I’m not sure that could be replicated by someone else very accurately (though I wouldn’t mind too much of it meant we get closure on the story).

Never watched Community or Parks, but Scrubs was awesome until the last season or two. Jumped the shark bad when they became a med school or what ever that garbage was.

Last season of Scrubs = ELR :pukeb:
