  1. I remember reading an article last week mentioning that Texas has accepted losing TLN because it hasn't been as successful as they (or ESPN) hoped anyway. It also said ESPN would likely just merge TLN with the SECNetwork like you said. Maybe SECN 2?
  2. I don't think they will be able to push around the likes of us, Bama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M. This ain't the BIG 12, ya know?
  3. Sorry if this has been posted but rather than pods, I like this proposed divisional split. Play the seven teams in your division, two cross divisional games that rotate, one OOC 'big game' (e.g., AU v Penn St), two cupcakes. This way, it's easier to preserve the SECCG because there will not be any dispute over the two teams playing in Atlanta.
  4. One caveat that I would add is a permanent annual cross-pod rivalry game--obviously we would play UGA.
  5. The fact that this is backwards is bothering me way more than it probably should. Am I just crazy or wouldn't this read better as EVER TO CONQUER|NEVER TO YIELD?
  6. Count me in for an annual $20! In fact, I'll look at it as starting a new Christmas Eve tradition.
  7. Done. Thanks and Merry Christmas and WDE!
  8. I keep getting this error when I put in the donation amount and click "Donate Now." Anyone else seeing the same thing?
  9. Times are tough right now with the pandemic, holidays, and I'm a (relatively) new dad, but I'd be honored to make an annual donation to keep this site free from advertisers! Wikipedia is the only other website that I give annually, for the same purpose. I may lurk/read far more than post, but this place has felt like a second home for the last eight years or so (I read the forums daily for a year or so before registering) and I can't thank everyone here enough for making it a bit easier being a die-hard Auburn fan in UCONN country and a land that doesn't 'get college football.' This is just for my own budgeting purposes, but I have a question if you know the answer and are able/feel comfortable to disclose this-- Based on the traffic the site gets, approximately what is the average 'ideal' donation per member per year that would keep this site financially secure without the need for ads? For example, Wikipedia has that little blurb about if each visitor only gave $2.75 (or something like that), they'd be set for X length. Obviously not even close to everyone gives so I toss them $20 per year.
  10. So I have seen this happen in a quite few different games this season (not just Auburn ones), but what is up with the clock not stopping after a first down to move the chains?? Was there a new rule implemented that I didn't hear about?
  11. Thank you! Believe it or not, I've been a member since Dec 2013 and lurked for a long time before then. I had just never posted much. Anyway, I understand your example there. I do have some questions though--Let's use Owen Pappoe for example. On 247, I see he has a rating of .9934 and 5 stars. How is that number calculated? On our 247 team page, I see'Avg' and 'Points'. Our Avg is 90.43, which I have to assume is the average rating for all of our recruits x 100, correct? How is our 190.43 points calculated? Then on Rivals, Pappoe is listed as a 4-star, but I do not see any numbers. Any idea how they differentiate the number of stars for players? On our rivals team page I see an Avg of 3.45, which I assume is the Avg stars of our players. However, Rivals lists us as having 1255 points. How is that calculated? Thanks again for teaching me! These are questions I have always had but felt kind of dumb asking--plus no one up here in Connecticut seems to know even though I am deep in UConn country and CBB recruiting .
  12. Ahh.. thanks for the lesson there! Sorry about that. What is the composite consist of? I'm still fairly new to the ins and outs of recruiting and things like this, but I'd love to learn!
  13. Updated recruiting rankings as of 6/19/18: 247 Sports - 13 Rivals - 13 Scout - 12 ESPN - ? I don't have Insider and they only show the top 15 to non-Insiders, which we are somehow not in...
  14. Hi Everyone, Long-time lurker from Connecticut here! I don't post much, so I can't create a thread. Sorry if this is off-topic or should go somewhere else, but my wonderful girlfriend got us tickets for the LSU game Sept 15th!! (which is technically moving forward so I am replying in this thread haha) Can anyone suggest where to stay in Auburn? We'd be flying into Atl on Fri the 14th and would like to fly home on Sunday. What is the procedure to book a hotel room on a gameday weekend? There are none available right now. Also, can anyone give me a ballpark price range for rooms per night? My last time in JHS was when I was still a student there -- 2004 UGA. I am so excited to know I'll be back in JHS next season!! WDE
