I think having a centralized forum on lemmy.world isn’t a bad idea while our community grows. We can always spread back out later. Right now it just feels weird having only like 4 or 5 active voices
Edit: shameless plug for !cfbmemes which I’ve posted literally 2 tenn themed image macros in but hey, you gotta start somewhere.
Caleb is not the problem. The 4th quarter "tackling" from USC in that Championship game was some of the saddest I have ever seen. I was embarrassed for them, and I wanted Utah to win.
I would love to cheer for him, but with my team also being close I cant afford to. With the change to 12 this doesn’t matter. Whether this is good or bad is subject to your personal views
Very fair point, but with only 4 spots you are limited with conference representation. As a stong contender gor 2nd or 3rd in the 1st or 2nd best conference you need a good season and or help from top dogs. With 6? at large spots there is much more breathing room. Now I need not worry about usc or clempson, they have their spots and a 9-2 tenn (assuming losses to uga and bama) is getting in over everone but like an 10-1 um/osu and there’s only one of those in most scenarios. I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions but I honestly like it more when losing twice means no nc contention.
Tenn vs UTSA but not the season opener against virgina, a p5 program? I lnow you’re trying to hype up those g5 programs but idk if anyone has this one circled.
Inb4 we lose at home since I called the matchup a nothing burger
Outside looking in I didn’t realize this was the feeling for america’s second best orange. Why is that? I mean y’all were playing for the conference 2 years ago and certainly relevant last year
Infamous for his shoe-tossing incident against LSU during the fourth quarter that ultimately cost Florida a victory during the 2020 season, former Gators star Marco Wilson carries no regret from the penalty and says he would do it again if presented with the opportunity....
Each axis runs 0 to 100 clockwise. At any point in the triangle you represent a location 0 to 100 for any given axis. Remember that the axis are rotated relative to each other by 66 degrees, not the normal 90.
Edit: For example the top vertex represents 100 on the clay line but 0 for loam and silt. Whereas the top left corner of clay loam represents values of 40 clay, 45 sand and 15 silt
San Diego State not part of Big 12 expansion plans: Yeah, the PAC dusfunction forced their hand and it all blows over if they get an invite somewhere in the near future, but just in general, WTF are y'all doing out there, west coast bros?...
Here’s a hot take. The ACC and B1G should merge and give the western portions back to the pac/big12 and the southern members to us. We give big 12 back missou and friends. Then you have a western, northern, southern and central mega conference. I dont wanna do the math but you should be close to that 24(I think?) number thrown around that supposedly sec/b1g are aiming around
