"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.
I'm leaning with the castrated turkeys as of now.

They have been talking about playing a football game at Bristol for years, and I'm glad they are finally doing it, but . . .

Seeing games at these huge venues sucks if you actually want to watch the game.

I attended the Sweet 16 at Ford Field (with Steph Curry, by the way) and the NCAA basketball championship game between Michigan State and North Carolina at Ford Field, and they both sucked as a fan. You can't see or hear shit. They actually put microphones on the floor and amplify the sound of the sneakers squeaking over the PA system to help the "atmosphere." We had "good" seats from a UConn booster for this game, and our seats were better than at least 70% pf the fans that were there, and they sucked.

I also saw the NCAA Frozen Four at Ford Field, and that sucked, too. the only kinda good seats would have been in the second deck between the goal lines, and they gave a lot of those to the press. All of the field/ice level seats were shit, because you couldn't see over the hockey boards.

I was at the Winter Classic at the Big House, and that was cool because of the great atmosphere with the continuous snow and all of the retarded Leafs fans asking, "Is this really a house?" But, to see the puck or critique a hockey game, it was not the best.

These things are about the money and the party.

That does surprise me. But TN to ROLL in this one being one of those Rare Games that does "Jump Out" at me Plus, and mainly, me not knowing a thng basically about The State of this season's VaTech Team (cuz they are not one I follow, choosing instead to focus upon "other things" within NCAAF) this surprise I have....

.....implying I don't like them castrated turkeys + the points...

....its really gotta be taken, by you, as the OPPOSITE of discouragement for your lean cuz "Love Plays" for me, these fail to cash for me at about an astonishing 66% Rate.

Thats mostly NFL cuz NCAAF theres so many more games I can better avoid being lured in by "Love Play" but lines that Jump Out at me Fail Me so....my total surprise definitely shouildn't get taken as a Wet Blanket on your lean. The Opposite, if anything at all in fact.

Admittedly that "Jump Out" was at -9.5 though.....line a whole lot less Froggy at -11.5 and thats another thing...

.....for some reason I lose -11/-11.5 ATS Wagers on The Fave minus the points too high a percent of the time. For me that much less often seen line of -11ish + the Fave minus that is like a Minefield.

I have researched this, % of Faves - various numbers that fail to cover (and even lose outright) and there is no "exceptional" Trend in regards to -11ish so...

...its just me.


Let me know where you land on it though, if you wanna.

And Yeah....you did make me Google "Castrated Turkey" :):)


While immediately it'd seem like I'd have been able to figure out (without Google) that castrated turkey did not = Volunteers after their performance vs. Appy State I had some doubts, thought there was a CHANCE you meant you were leaning TNVOLS.

That Boat Trip to a GameDay Neyland being on My Bucket List as it is and Albert having a Badass Boat equals I need to start pal ing up to Albert right away.

I feel like to start this campaign, of maneuvering my way to becoming Albert's Friend so I can get an invitation onto his boat when its going to a (conference vs. Bama, LSU or UGA) game at Neyland, I should compliment Albert on something

via Twitter.

I need input on what to compliment Albert on though, I know nothing about the guy.


Please Help Me.

Big Al BigTime, with Burgerfi.


Truth is, and this is easy to tell from their website, if tomorrow I woke up and all I could eat for the rest of my life was Burgerfi stuff I'd be a happy man.


Sometime within the late 1980's I got stuck while Hitchhiking penniless through the Smoky Mountains, Knoxville area. Got Stuck for 3 days. No one would stop and give me a ride. I didn't do much Hitchhiking, ever, mostly rode Trains. Previous Long for me to get a ride anywhere else in USA was 4 hours.

There in The Smokys it took me 3 days, to get a ride.

(On being the first no huddle defense)
images

"We are going to be the first no huddle tempo defense in the world this week. When they get to the line of scrimmage, we're going to beat them to the line of scrimmage. First up mentality, it's getting your eyes to the sideline, it's post-snap effort. Then it's IDing the call and communicating and it's getting your cleats in the ground and diagnosing the play and being ready to go. We don't really have a choice so we better be ready to go."


Okay.

Well....if nothing else I am even more wanting to see this game now.

While I wish many of the 148,000+ in attendance would be able to see it too, really, I don't feel sorry for them at all cuz this is an Event. Party Here, Tailgating then that singing of Rocky Top gonna be things of Legend.

Biggest redneck convention ever. 99% of the fans at this game will be related in some way shape or form.

Funny you should say that cuz the Biggest Redneck Convention ever, in my experience at least, was actually Speedway Indiana 1985 or '86 where I lived when The Indy 500 got rained out multiple times and entire sections of town were turned into homesteading villages occupied by massive numbers of "Redneck"-like folks, in the negative sense that you imply above, and the License Plates most present said "Michigan" on them, and those folk were definitely the least pleasant, of the 100,000 or whatever that were camping literally all over the place.

Mud and, eventually, garbage strewn all over the place in some places ankle-high.

We shared the tiny suburb of Speedway with these folks for, like a week. May have been 9 days.....with early arrivers.


"Ironic", in light of your post. There do be some serious backwoods folk up there in Michigan as well.

Attendance: 156,990

another estimated "may be as many as 20,000 watching on TVs in the parking lot"

A few of those 20thousandish may be drinking alcoholic beverages.

Congrats to Chris Paradise, Big Al, all the 90,000 or so Vols Fans inside the raceway and in the parking lot and all Vols fans everywhere, on this impressive Victory.

This is how your team needs to look. :toast:

Boy Did She.

Beautiful too what they did giving out those Red and White Cards to the fans to hold up during her singing, to make that Flag in the Stands, magnificent that Soldiers were in Attendance and very very Beautiful also: about 177,000 present between Inside and Drunk In Parking Lot and not a single person protesting.

Thank You for posting this GB.

I was not able to tune into the game until about 6 minutes into the first quarter.
