Florida has a much easier home/away schedule than either UT or UGA. UT plays the most difficult West teams with Bama and LSU and UGA plays the least difficult with MSU and Auburn. I hate to say it but the path for Florida is pretty easy this year, but UGA also has it pretty easy. UT as usual has the most difficult road to SEC East Champion.

Auburn will be a very tough game for UGA and it's at Auburn. MSU they should win but hey, its Kirby, who knows.

UF has to play LSU and Texas A&M which shouldn't be a sure win for either. Their saving grace is both of those games are at home.

Even with both of them having easier paths, I like our chances.

Unfortunately it's not doing well on free TV but you are right about the younger guys, or at least the relatively newer guys to the general public.

NBC Boxing is great. It's coming back and in a hurry. Spence Jr., Easter Jr., Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis and a few more like Devin Haney are fun to watch.

If you want to watch a great boxing match the last Klitchko fight against the English dude was the best one I've ever seen. It was great to see three knockdowns and to see fighters come back to knock the other down. I highly recommend everyone to watch the replay of that one.

You can't be serious. This fight this weekend will be great and the fight they had before was great. That fight looked good because you haven't seen a good fight in a while. Errol Spence versus Kell Brooke was a dogfight. I loved it for sure. You all want action then watch Canelo vs Kirkland on YouTube. That was bombs for days.

Errol Spence Jr. is now a champion and the next great American boxer.

Majors and golf in general is so boring without Tiger. I hope he will makes it back, but I have my doubts. Golf was just better with Tiger.

Do you even play golf? I think not. Golf is doing just fine. I play golf almost every day and when I hear people say golf is no good without Tiger I want to puke.

Golf may not be growing but that's because golf takes roughly 4 to 5 hours to complete a round. I wish tons of folks would stay away from golf. I get tired of hackers hitting grounders from the back tees. Please leave the game to those who know how to play the game or find a course built for beginners. If you don't get it, its called a driving range. Off my soap box now. Golf is doing just fine.

Boxing is coming back. Not as much skill spread around HW, but it's still my favorite. I think Wlad will exercise his rematch clause being he almost KO's Joshua. If he loses that he's retired. Meanwhile I think Wilder will take on Parker unless they force him to fight Stiverne again. I hope not. I want to see Wilder vs Joshua and Fury vs them both. Also love Keith "One Time" Thurman. He's a self made man whom I admire.

I do play. Not as much as I used to, mainly because I'm married with kid and I live in Portland which is under water 9 months out of the year. When I lived in Atlanta, I played every weekend and did multiple trips to Myrtle Beach every year (I was single back then).
Golf's decline has many reasons, cost being probably that largest one.

However, my initial point was for me watching golf is not as exciting to watch as it was when Tiger was playing. I was watching Rose, McIlroy and Day and it was boring. Just me though.

I agree. Batman can say what he wants, but the buzz at a major when Tiger was in the field, especially when he was competitive, was a whole different level than it is now. There's more buzz and excitement at a regular tourney with Tiger than a major without. Unfortunately, I'm not so sure he will be back and be competitive. I think he's done.

Micky Ward versus Arturo Gatti trilogy was fun to watch as well.

The difference is illustrated by the fact that everyone in here is talking about this three ring circus coming in August and most probably have no idea that there is an actual, honest to god great fight happening in two days. That's event fans vs. boxing fans.

Typically refraining from barging into a conversation and changing the topic is a sign that you may not be a sociopath.

That being said the only fight I'm looking forward to this year is Golovkin/Canelo. For all of you "event" fans out there, you should seriously consider purchasing this fight on Sept 17th. It will be a bloodbath. I can only guarantee that those two guys are going to hit each other a lot.

Wrong. See Spurrier. We never wanted that drama queen here.

That's not true. You think Saban is a pretty nice guy to be around? When push comes to shove a fanbase, especially this one, really doesn't care how likable a guy is as long as he wins. Kiffin was a huge douche but most everybody loved him for it when he was here.
