There are several more variables that need to be known before making that call.

1. WHO and what kind of pitcher is pitching
2. Success rate of that hitter against the pitcher
3. Speed of the guy on first base
4. Strikeout % of the guy batting
5. How good of a bunter is the guy batting
6. What kind of hitter is the player in the 9 hole?

Yes.

I tell people all the time “I live in West Tennessee” not really sure why I don’t just say Tennessee

Ha! When I say I am from Gruetli-Laager, and they look at me like I am from a foreign country I get specific…I am from Middle Tennessee in between Murfreesboro and Chattanooga.

Gruetli-Laager does sound German.

My grandmother could never remember the name Gruetli-Laager so she always called it Gruntley Acre lol

I'm gonna go @Ulysees E. McGill on you guys for a minute, but the news coming out of the SEC this week has made me feel this way.

If conference leadership manages to pull off enacting a Federal cap on NIL earning potential for athletes, while playing hardball with conference scheduling to get bigger checks for divvying up more/better bowls and a fatter tv contract, I might be out.

A cap would reinstitute the old rigged world of teams who cheat with impunity vs. everyone else. That's it's only purpose.

When someone posts a screen shot, at what battery % do we start telling them to charge their phone? 38 seems in the grey area.

So it was never really about taking care of family?

Went to my grandson’s Tball game last night and met an old friend. She showed me a pick of what her husband is making. They’re for planting flowers in. So adorable!!!

People should charge it unless it feels like 98.

It was about playing time, imo

They still have their stealth recruiting machines and they want to use them. When you don't need to be stealthy, a stealth recruiting machine is just like everyone else's recruiting machine. When it's time to get sneaky again, a stealth recruiting machine has a massive advantage.

@Weezer. I saw 5 nurse sharks this morning. No you can't nurse them.

Depends on the time of day. Before noon, anything below 50% should warrant a warning IMO. Then it should drop by 10% per hour.

Noon - 50%
1PM - 40%
2PM - 30%
3PM - 20%
4PM - 10%
5PM - 5%

Maybe we could just put all the earnings of everyone associated with college football and share them equally to everyone from walk-ons to broadcast CEO's and everyone in between.

@SweetasSoda I've lived in Tennessee my whole life and somehow I've never heard of that place. . . Maybe I have and didn't understand what they were saying

Pass some down to the fans also! We’re supporting all this!

Maybe they can nurse you. . . @Weezer should try it out and let us know how it goes.

They're making so much money with how it is now, they could probably afford to charge $0 for tickets and concessions at the games and still be profitable. (Network and the University)

'and for those reasons, i've decided to go to georgia'...

That’s probably it! Just think of the poor kids that have to learn to spell it! Gruetli was a Swiss colony. Laager had Swiss heritage. They incorporated to make it even more challenging.

Not with that attitude.

This is called the "Walkie-Talkie" building in London. Looks cartoonish to me.
