Holding a football game at Bristol Motor Speedway looks like a terrible idea

[HotRocks]

I work a lot in TN and everyone is just pumped about this game and excited about going...I thought it was a very bad idea as far as actually seeing the game, still do, but it will be 100k plus attendance for sure

If I had a free ticket I still wouldn't go, hate both teams

Hope everyone takes some high powered binoculars

silly greedy people all about the money


my tv is the best in the business and my shiatsu massage chair is way more comfy

maybe they should have a nascar race at the same time as the football game

 

[rolltide]

those pics look exactly like when I saw the Pens/Caps New Year's Day game. there was a strong rumor going around that a hockey game was being played but that was about it

 

[ML Dog]

its been sold out since may..with a waiting list. could have sold 200k tickets

these are zealous fanbases

Even more surprising then that they did not bring in Temporary Seating. Lotta open space 'tween field and bleachers, where add'l seats could have been placed.

Just out of curiosity, in Mexico Beach, Florida, I had a really FINE girl with an Orange Mustang that had this on the hood:

​

tell me that people are able to take BOATS to get to the games at Neyland, like, the regular spot for Vols games, that people are able to float, while partying, on a BOAT to the Stadium.


Is that True?


She described it so great, as so much fun, to take a boat to Neyland on GameDay that became a Bucket List thing of mine, to do.

Just out of curiosity, would one be able to get to this game by Boat as well? This game in Bristol?

Are there appropriate waterways? Like in Knoxville (unless that girl was "messing" with me)......

...to get to Bristol Motor Speedway. by boat?

Thats a really really good idea. Especially right NOW cuz The Race For The Chase whatever, season winding down, that would have been an excellent idea.

I wish YOU had been the planner of this instead of whoever was and tried to do what you said but could only come up with this stupid rule, that teams will have to follow in this game, bcuz this is gonna screw the whole game up:

Special Provisional Rule 12.33a for Game at Bristol:

"All Runners, while in possession of the football, shall only be able to turn to the Left."

goes on to say that any cuts, jukes, turns to THE RIGHT get penalized for "Improper Movement while in possession of Football", a 10-yard penalty.

Stupid Rule. I can see why they did it, to make it like a NASCAR race but I don't like this Rule.

And I am surprised that no one has mentioned it up in here yet. This changes the whole game. Could be a Flag Fest. Definitely affects betting strategy, handicapping this game.

The boat thing is true.

I've always said going to a nascar race at Bristol is like watching a race inside a football stadium. Well I be damned if it ain't reverse psychology.

 

[ML Dog]

Event and watching the game are not the same

But back to football

Got You Totally PARANOID....

Last Thing you need right now, with all the new stuff you're being made to deal with, with the New Baby and all.....Psychological Crap from NCAA. This added crap might Break You. You better just ignore this game. For the preservation of your own mental health.

Pissed Off Needing To Show-Out Vols Team opened at -9.5 got hammered down to -11.5 and I 'spect it ain't gonna stop there. Might be better for ME also to ignore this game, now Double Digits, for my OWN Sanity, at least from betting perspective.

Did you ever do it?

Get to Neyland by Boat?

On a GameDay?

Haha! I'm gonna have to miss the game due to a Toughman I'm working here locally, however, I cannot get away from playing it because it is the Game of the Week in the Pick 6 CFB Pool I'm in. I'm undecided on who to play (line is 11.5 in the Pool).

My buddy grew up in Knoxville and has numerous times. I've eaten on the water across from the Stadium. That in itself was pretty cool right on the river.

Man, I never got to do it but was soooooooo looking forward to it once becoming a Student at UT, however, my shitty Pops tells me last minute I can't go there because he's not paying out of state tuition. When it's all said and done, that sorry ass didn't pay for ANY of my College. That will not happen for my new baby. Already started her a 529 Plan. I'd still love to do it one day, however, a game in Neyland isn't fun to me other than the huge crowd because the seats are the closest together of any stadium and you literally are like sardines in there, and two, Rocky Top 49+ times a game really gets on my nerves.

Jesus.

Live Lines?

In that?

Oh Wait. It might be ours here and just Sharp as Dead Plankton Skeletons JOH

Crap.

If its ours....crap.....TNVOLS-9.5 might have been a contender but....."Too Much Love", from me on Orange Avengers, avenging vs. Boone NC Squad right out the gate "embarrassment". My own Rules prohibit me from laying DD on a love play and 'specially when that, to get to DD, has crossed to that from an Opening of NOT DD.

I don't know.....I am very Neurotic.

VOL prolly wipe the speedway floor with VaTech, 49-9 or some shyt.



Oh wait...."Game of The Week"....mandatory play?, I guess its not ours.

Great Illustration of WHY our kids often wind up having it better than we did, with each passing generation.

I Hate hearing crap like that cuz its a Derailment of Destiny. Not "Destiny" in the sense that Barkley used that to give away that Finals to MJ & The Bulls, not like "meant to be" but:

Where you'd have wound up.

You go to UT and a different path gets presented. Not that that is a necessarily GOOD THING, seems like you have your shit together, where you are just...

...you know what I mean.

Fukkin Frustrating that Dude wound up not even helping with Tuition at all. Makes my friggin head spin.


And Yeah.....as we got drunker and drunker that Fox in Mexico Beach FL, her and her fellow Knoxvillians....they eventually went on to sing "Rocky Top", like, 49 times also.

We eventually had to just kill 'em. It was either that or kill ourselves.

No, not ours. This pool switches year to year of subtracting or adding 0.5 pt every year so there are no ties either. I didn't join the CFB one here this year, however, I think I'm going to sign up and pay for the NFL one here in a few minutes. Hell, I did really well last year so I hate to be that guy that took the money and ran. Haha.

Haha I hear ya. They even do that shit at road games which makes me wanna kill em!

as for going to UT, it would of turned me on the path I really wish I'd taken, and you've heard others here say I'd be damn good at it, and that is a Vetinarian. UT and Geoegia are two of the best around in that category. Anyways, my daughter will be what she wants to be no matter the things I may have to give up or be burdened to to make it happen.

As as for me, I was doing okay I guess, not a total career path, just always a decent job
with decent pay, however, I gave it all up to be a stay at home Dad over the Summer. So far, it's been worth it. I miss the extra income a little, but I don't miss the time with my baby, and I sure don't miss the thought of these crazies out here today doing something to her at childcare. I'm sure my day will come to seek some type of routine employment again, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the most precious time and thing of my lifetime so far, my baby girl.

Wow. So Much I could say and so totally No Point in typing that here.


Because You Already Know.


So, just.......


"Wow."



Fortunately though.....


that one word says all thats needed, in response to that.

"Off The Board" in ours, Divine Providence, for me really cuz:

• Neutral Site (and weird-ass Neutral Site) game equates to (For ME, and gets treated as) a HomeComing type game scenario and Home Teams fail to cover those at an astonishing rate
  
• Line crossing the Key Number 10 & into DD
  
• WTF vs. Appy State? Need more Data.
  

2.5 Days to GameTime will be interesting to see further line movement on this game and just how much of The Public winds up on TN.

That last thing might make yet another Point Of Contention for me to using this game cuz "Public Money", like Joe Pub 76% or greater on VOLSa scary boat to be on, which certainly had to be the case at that open of -9.5, Had to be a large Public Play at -9.5

....all this equates to is I'm pretty glad I ain't forced to do something with this one, as you are and I'm happy its Off The Board altogether in our Pick6 here at RX.

Post what you decide to do with it, if you don't feel like that would Jinx that, so at least I have some "skin in the game" cuz its among the games I do most wanna watch.
