The Atlanta Braves Thread (Terry Pendleton Edition)

Like this guy, I ain't got no worries.

Explain to me why it's not stupid to think that playing 8 games (possibly 9 by then) against the best conference, and due to a yearly game with Bama almost always the toughest schedule within that conference, isn't enough and we should add an additional degree of difficulty or two that the other teams in the SEC don't. I just don't see how that benefits us.

Because, worst case scenario is we lose the game and make $20ish million dollars for playing a football game in front of 160,000 people. Pretty self explanatory. And like Verc said, if we're not competitive by then something is wrong. Tennessee shouldn't be scared or back down from anyone, we're Tennessee, thats the kind of crap Auburn does. I love it and i cant wait to see it.

 

[Vercingetorix]

This. And, not that I'm saying we'll be competing for a NC by then, but with the playoff system coming teams that play schedules like ours that year will benefit in theory.

If Jones doesn't have us ready to compete for an SEC and therefore national championship by his 4th season, then he probably never will.

Only four teams in the playoff means that every year, there are probably going to be 6-8 teams vying for slots 3 and 4. I will be really surprised if good OOC wins don't become a big factor.

My question is whether or not they install seating on the track itself.

It is Derrick Barnett committing

The way this fanbase reacts to minor change, they must crap their pants whenever they see a detour sign.

Lol. We just tryna be happy GA!?!?

And with the ncaa now allowing schools to host recruits at neutral site games it could be a big weekend. Plus we can sell to everybody in the 14, 15, and 16 class that they will get to play in the most highly attended game in the history of football

Has he yet?

Or we can just puss out and play the Citadel in front of 80-90 thousand fans.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Apparently we're working on a new fake fg package with JRM as the holder.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Now he officially has committed

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Barnett will end up being a stud for us at DT.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Butch doesn't just st get it, Butch gets it done!

 

[Vercingetorix]

Unfortunately I would wager heavily that we'll puss out of the Nebraska series if and when the SEC goes to a 9-game schedule. Bleed will be thrilled.

I'd rather get out of that than the game in Bristol.

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Barton Simmons saying he isn't committed lol

Somebody needs to tell him if you are going to try to make a living as a reporter and be a homer at the same time you should choose a bigger fan base to be a homer of than one that has 5-6 fans

Well, obviously the Vols would stand to benefit a lot more from the VPI game than they would an ordinary home and home with Nebraska, both in money and exposure. I hope they keep it though. I'm hoping to go to Nebraska.

Obviously I'd like to keep both too, if possible. Nebraska would be a cool trip.

 

[The Orange Pants]

LOL @ Simmons. I guess Barnett didn't tweet "I have committed to the University of Tennessee"

oh wait

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Wu or '13, where would you rank Barnett in the class as far as how big of a get it is? Top 5? 3?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I am all over a game against Virginia Tech at BMS. I have wanted this for years.
