You can visit.

Property I want to build on (non-rainy side). But, lots of snow in winter.

Where’s the trees? I must have lots of trees. But thank God, everyone is different! Hope you choose what brings you joy.

You can visit.

Yea, that's the plan now after going back and forth. That will be a vacation home but gotta be a close drive to Neyland for my main home.

You don't look anything like your avatar. False advertising is false.

This inspired me to dig out some of my old wedding photos.

Sigh. Time flies.

I remember the good ole days of black and white photos

This photo won a photography award this year. Maybe you can guess what makes it unique.

How about "Limiting the number of TV timeouts to one per quarter outside of the the quarter changes"? The TV timeouts slow everything down more than the clock stopping for a first down or an untimed down.

Cut halftime from 20 minutes to 12 like the NFL. You don't see road teams bring their full bands anymore.

I've never met a single college football fan who complained about the average length of games. I'm sure there are a few out there, but I don't understand where this urgency is coming from around shortening the game.

TV

But you have that in East TN?

Right. It will be an advantage for a team that wants to run clock to counter our offense. Saban is for the rule and has made clear he plans to do that. His new ex-ND OC is to move in that direction.

I don't see any other purpose but am open to suggestions.

It cannot possibly be about the length of games and also be an honest discussion because commercials and video reviews would have to be discussed. Similarly, it cannot possibly be about fans because fans complain exclusively about commercials and length of reviews, which are off the table. Whatever the reason is, it turns on advantage and disadvantage within the game itself and thus necessarily wants to appear to be about something else.

The net effect on the broadcast will be to increase the percentage of time devoted to commercials and reviews.

The game length doesn't bother me. . . 4hrs. . . seems like 2hrs of commercials.

Anybody got anything on our meeting yesterday???

Nothing is going to leak out from UT's side. DW has that part plugged up

Yea, I've explored many of those trails. Grew up in Kingsport.

I think it’s just bc games are running past their slotted spot…. They want to shorten the game to make it better for tv.


I don’t know if it will be good or bad for us…. It will be much harder on other teams to come back from deficit than it will be for the VOLS.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. Seems like it will benefit teams that can score quickly.

 

[franklinpence]

I think the talking heads and NFL testing processing or IQ or whatever is a damn joke.

Hell you could test a dozen people in this thread alone that could score higher than Anthony Richardson and I bet not a damn one is even half the player he is.

POINTLESS

That’s a bold statement. Maybe you’ve missed the many examples of the athletic prowess present among the folks in this thread?

Didn’t know you were such a fan of Anthony Richardson.

 

[franklinpence]

I heard 6-8 weeks.

68 weeks!! Come on! End this already.

"Better for TV" is ambiguous. Worse for the fans because it increases the percentage of time devoted to commercials and long reviews. Better for the networks and advertisers maybe.
