Show has its moments, and, i'm sure i'm in the vocal minority. There are so many better shows out there.

If you have nothing else to binge, go for it. But if you went on with your life, you arent missing anything truly spectacular.

The new LoTR prequels blow it out of the water.

Stop after about season 5 and just pretend the rest of the series does not exist. This is the way to overall maximum enjoyment of the series.

Ive read that folks who read the books prior enjoyed things waay more.

Would be interested to hear how the Wheel of Time stacks up.

Having done both, I always watch a show/movie before I read the book. The books always have much more to them and if I start with the book then I'll be disappointed by the show/movie, but starting with watching is less time invested and I can go in without a firm opinion of what it should or shouldn't be.

Tua had the exact same surgery a few years ago..returned in 20 days to full strength. I mean it can’t be much more simple than that. Volquest has said multiple times he will def be back by Bama. There are plenty of medical case studies as well if you know where to look. It is not a pipe dream at all.

We have one example of a guy who one time played 3 weeks after his 2nd surgery. (full strength is a stretch as he played awful in that LSU game). Never said it was a pipe dream, just said the only place I've seen the typical recovery time as 2-3 weeks is here on VN, and that's still the case. I've seen it as low as 3-4 weeks though on various medial websites, but 4-6 weeks seems to be the most common timetable. I've also said the entire time Alabama should be the earliest game he could return. With injuries there is never a "def be back" in my book until you see them on the field for the first snap.

Yeup, realistically Alabama or Kentucky.

I think Tillman is our best WR, but I also think these games where we're having to play without him are going to really help Hooker and the other WRs build rapport. Which hopefully helps us long term.

The Florida game should have shown people that this offense can still move the ball and put up points regardless of which WRs are injured or not. We just need to see the defense continue to improve and keep winning the close ones. If we're facing Georgia as a 1 loss team that'll be the game where we really need Tillman at full strength.

Not unless you wanna waste 70-80 hours of your life just to be massively pissed off...I think you should just watch until the end of season 7 and then just make up whatever ending you like in your head..

Because no matter how stupid that ending is....it will still be better than the ending to GoT.

Hoping the Jon Snow spin off can right many of those wrongs. They say that Harington pitched the idea himself, and is heavily involved; they say he was extremely disappointed with the original ending. 🤞

He has a great work ethic. He’s one of those guys in at the crack of dawn and brings the energy all day. His great weakness is really just being cowardly. He’d start taking his foot off the gas in the second damn quarter if we had the lead and eventually that was his downfall. He also did a really poor job of getting the best players on the field. He choose to go with Justin Worley over Josh dobbs twice. Which would’ve been fine if he’d have run a pro style offense. But the fact that we read that press offense with all the rpo’s makes it such an unbelievably dumb decision.

That’s part of it. I also think he just fails in the overall CEO part of being a major head coach and instilling the right culture/mindset in his team and coaches.

Bob Shoop is a great example. Great DC. Been great everywhere he’s been. Was great at Vanderbilt with less talent. But under Butch, he looked lost. Total flop. Then left and got good again. Butch isn’t a guy who gets the best out of people.
