My VOLS play CLEMSON tonight in the Orange Bowl. Wish them luck. 4 guys are opting out due to draft status ? Hendon Hooker not playing due to the knee injury, and his replacement Joe Milton might have the strongest arm in the SEC but the problem is he over throws his wrs 80% of the time because of it. I don't expect my VOLS to win for these reasons. Lol

Taking a shot with your vols.

have a feeling

[Joejet]

Go Vols!!

[Lith]

I would like to see the Vols win, but Clemson with Klubnik is a better team than they were all season, whereas Tennessee without Hooker is not as good as they were.  I think Clemson wins easily.

[Beerfish]

Nice drive by Tennessee.  I like the way Heupel coaches.

[Lith]

I hate DPI on an underthrown ball.  Rewarding the QB for making a bad throw,

At least in college it is 15 yards unlike the pros where it is a 51 yard penalty.

[Beerfish]

What is Miltons issue, as in why did he lose the starting job because the guy looks excellent to me.

[Beerfish]

Why am I snickering like a pre teen each time they say that Clemson linebackers name.... Woodaz  They keep pronouncing it as Wood ass

[Lith]

Rough first half for Klubnik.  Even rougher for the Clemson kicker.

[Trotter]

What would it take to ban all halftime musical entertainment at football games?

just give me the frisbee catching dog.

[RobR]

I would take a flyer on Milton. He's a 22yo senior that has barely played but he has every tool in the shed. 

Big guy, big arm, accurate and hitting windows, yet he has barely any starting experience.

[Beerfish]

Clemson, grind grind grind grind......td.

Tennessee, pass, bomb td

[fltflo]

This kid Milton looks the part, man he has an arm, throwing the ball down field like it was a baseball, no effort at all. Sit him for a year or two and he could really develop

Finally a smart DC, Tennessee is causing the Clemson QB and oline fits by blitzing so he just keeps on doing it.  Unlike so many others that get a lead then go all passive.

[SuicidalSince98]

The Tennessee QB looks legit 

the Clemson QB looks like Zach Wilson

Coastal Carolina (the Zach killers) versus East Carolina. 

(Call me crazy but wouldn't east Carolina and coastal Carolina be the same thing?)

East Carolina is only Coastal Carolina at high tide.  

[Trotter]

Well getting ready for another day.

one thing I have been noticing in the bowl games and even through the season is some if the unbelievable catches these college kids make.

not necessarily the one handers, but some of these guys have the defender draped all over them to the point of interference and still bring in the catch.

very impressive

let’s start it off at noon.

goingto take a shot with the under in the Iowa game.

I usually favor  overs in bowl games but simply don’t know where the points come in this one.

good luck to all

Coastal has a pretty cool golf course, if you’re into the game. A lot of doglegs right, which makes it a rare left handed friendly layout.

[Rangers9]

Love having two semis today on NYE we're not going out esp looking forward to Ohio State-Georgia. btw Stetson Bennett could be a late round draft pick and I'd seriously consider taking him he's an overachiever and might end up being a good game manager not something to sneeze at having a Qb who can adequately run an offense.

I loved golf and lived in a country club in Scottsdale for 8 years that had a beautiful desert course.  I don't have one of those silky smooth swings and my back can't handle it anymore.  

It pisses me off that I can't play golf anymore.  The positive is that I'm able to work out and keep myself fit without having my back out for 2 weeks.  Tennis is the same problem.  I think you have to be careful with an extended club or racket.  It puts lots of torque on your back even if you have an amazing fluid swing.  I don't.  

Moved to Coastal, eastern CT a couple of years ago.  Love living in a classic NE town and I'm getting into sailing.  The big downside is I get the Pats, Red Sox and Celtic feeds.

I love NE… sounds like you found a great spot.

When I was a kid, I spent summers out on the East End of Long Island (Southampton) with my grandparents. We got about 4 stations. CBS because William Pawley erected a tv tower so he could watch the station he owned, and a few from NE. I watched a bunch of Red Sox games, and since Carl Yastrzemski was a townie, he was my favorite player.

[Beerfish]

The big ones today.   Bama v kansas State to start off, as usual a lot of good players from bama to keep an eye on.

Then the two main games.  TCU vs Michigan and then Georgia vs Ohio State.  I do not think either game is a certainty.  Could be upsets in one or the other or both.  The lines are Michigan by 7.5 and Georgia by 6

I'm guessing you're an old fart like me.  No offense.  Back in the 60's most of the East end was farmed by New Englanders.  Most of Suffolk county was farms.  Big Red Sox and NY Giant fan base before the merger.  

It's amazing how many people have settled in Suffolk county since the late 60's.   The whole county was pretty much rural farming when I was a kid.  Now it's much more suburban NYC than rural New England.

did not work out but never thought I would even be in a position

I haven't really followed college football this year what are your picks for today?  Looking to make these games a little more interesting....I'm thinking TCU and Georgia.

 No offense taken, ?

The North Fork still has a little of that old feel to it, but the Hamptons becoming a “thing” in the early 80’s changed the South Fork (and I guess the East End) forever.

I used to love it out there, I have so many great memories from back then. I’ll take a ride out there a few times a year to play golf or just walk through the towns when I’m up visiting on Long Island and I’m amazed (sad) at how it has changed.

It's amazing how different you see things when you leave and go back.....not that long ago I thought I would never leave Long Island now I go back and think why did I stay so long. lol

My family is all here, and my daughter just bought a home and is expecting twins in 4 weeks so I’m always going to be making the trip up, I guess.

I’m like you though. I’m over it. If it weren’t for them, I’d never come back.

Congrats!  I'm actually the last to leave and all my old friends usually meet up in Vegas for March Madness and I go see the Jets in Miami once a year....been back once in the past 5 years not sure if i'll ever make it back up.

Not a great feel today but took a shot with the under in the Iowa game

i do like tcu but call me nuts the game I like is Ohio state outright.

 

[Rangers9]

Watching Sugar Bowl interesting game. Kansas State lost 3 games but beat TCU their only loss. Alabama this season maybe doesn’t have it.

I usually stay away from games with no meaning because it's impossible to tell what teams are motivated...makes for good under dog picks like Kansas State I guess.

So if you’re beat 51 yards downfield it makes sense just to just blatantly interfere with the receiver and save 36 or more yards of field position and possibly a score?
It works both ways.
