I had no ideA. Wow that's a huge advantage for us then. Knight had played in big ball games. Man what a fall from glory he's had. Has he just not developed or is Mayfield the Golden Boy?

I think he struggled a bit last year after our game, and then he got injured and missed their last 3 regular season games. He was bad in their bowl game.

Im actually coming in as a video producer so I will be creating videos for the scientists that come in on grants to show progress/breakthroughs so probably a little bit of everything.

Ah, well, I'm more on the Rad side but I'll ask around to see if I know anybody over there.

You'll at least be around most of the chicks!

Just had it on TV that today is Gus Manning's 92nd birthday. He's been at UT since 1946. Happy Birthday Gus!!!

I have a very strong feeling that we are going to curb stomp OU. I'm having difficulty thinking of any ways that they could win

Special two plums for one.

I think Bama goes 8-4 and loses a bowl game. HATE the way their schedule lays out for them. Auburn had same type schedule last year, lost 5.

Preseason Bowl W/L projections make about as much sense as asking someone if next months dinner on a certain day was tasty

ESPN pulled off the HIPPA violation of the year by getting Jason Pierre Paul's medical chart showing he did have his right index finger amputated. Smh who at the hospital thought this was a good idea to give to ESPN

Yes, much fidelity to your name here.

 

[VolGee4]

I looked at some single game tickets, and it gave me Level SU, Section II. I have been to Neyland every year since 1998, and I don't know where this is. Anyone know?

Edit: I figured it out. The SU confused me.

Predicting a bowl loss is just silly haha

2015 Preseason FPI: Ohio State still No. 1 in updated rankings - College Football Nation Blog - ESPN

ESPN came out with their first edition of the FPI ranking before spring ball. The link above has the updated rankings post spring ball but unlike the pre-spring rankings this list did not include special teams.

I did a comparative analysis of TN offense to Opponent Defense and Opponent Offense to Tennessee Defense and threw in the Special Teams comparison as well as the home field variable to arrive at theoretical game spreads based on the pre-spring rankings. That analysis is posted somewhere back in this thread or it's predecessor. Based on the updated rankings, I updated my model and the spread moved in Tennessee's favor in every game on our schedule. Our offense got a small bump but our defense got a huge bump post-spring. Other teams went up and down as well with Arkansas taking a huge plunge in their defensive ranking. As a result of plugging in the new ratings for everyone's offense and defense the model continues to have us favored in every game we play this year with the exception of Alabama only as noted the spread has improved in our favor in every game. We'd even be favored against Alabama by 2 points if the game was at home. To be clear our advantage over GA, AR, OU, FL, & MO is less than a TD so in the world of "any given Saturday", it would probably take a small miracle to sweep them all----but at least the data is saying there's a chance.

@Alabama +5.0
Georgia -3.7
Arkansas -5.2
@Florida -5.8
@Missouri -6.5
Oklahoma -6.8
@Kentucky -12.6
South Carolina -17.1
Vanderbilt -21.2
Bowling Green -28.7
North Texas -35.9
Western Carolina -47.3

She inflicted X force on him.

He inflicted 50X force on her.

But ya, retaliation 50 times greater is acceptable. If a 20 lb midget pokes you, you have the right to take a baseball bat to their skull in retaliation and self defense.

It might depend where that little guy is poking. Not thrilled with his eye and finger level.
