This made me unreasonably happy.

There will be plenty of kids under 21 in attendance, and bring played in the Bible Belt, I'm sure there will be plenty of people in attendance that don't drink. I'd imagine when all that's factored in, the beer drinkers will be able to have 5-6 beers each. Enough to get properly lubricated but not enough devolve BMS to Morganhole levels.

If this guy had kept the bottle beneath the bottom frame of this gif, this would make an excellent response to all the hot Emma Watson gifs that get posted.

Fuente has historically done the opposite of what App State did to Tennessee last week. The Mountaineers slowed everything down and ran just 62 offensive plays in regulation, running a lot of misdirection to counter Shoop's more aggressive defense. The comparison some players have been throwing around to VT was Bowling Green last year, who ran 85 plays and scored 30 points on the Vols in the opener. But Tennessee dropped 59 on them, one of their most efficient days of the year.

I think a double charge might be in order for the first time we score. If it's the first time Skipper is fired out of state, it should be reminiscent of the first time she was fired in Blacksburg.

The Mook Daddy is rapidly becoming my absolutely favorite thing about TKP.

Well, yes, if you pretend the preseason poll is still applicable after the season starts, i suppose you'd have that problem...

Oh, no, I think preseason polls are fine. That's purely speculative and everyone accepts them as such. But the polls in weeks 1-3 are a weird combination of carryover from preseason speculation mixed with on-field results. Like with Notre Dame, 0-1, so it's absurd to see them ranked, except that the preseason speculation that they are good is overriding the fact that they lost a close game away from home. Then you've got Tennessee, who won but plummeted seven spots, because taking a Sun Belt team to overtime has pollsters seriously second-guessing their initial impression of the team.

TL;DR. Keep the preseason polls to hype week 1 matchups. Don't update the polls until week 4, to allow a feeling-out period to adjust polls based on actual game results.

Minor tweak. Fuente said it was about Colt practicing better. And that may indeed be true. If Fuente now tries to say Colt starts over Wyatt because he played better, that's a bold-faced lie.
