I don't hate it. I love the lime green rather than kelly green with the all whites. Would prefer the old school 70's flying worm eagle as the logo on the helmet, though.

He's had enough that an incident like this didn't automatically lead to a post in the shart thread.

2 of the 3 TEs we play are black and we just had a black TE drafted
Rule, meet exception.

Wow, that last one gets it all dusty in here. That dude is a bona fide hero.

Or play football.
If they are fast enough to play a zone defense, Florida will take them right now.

Update: after some emails back and forth with these guys, I decided to pull the trigger. They are currently running a 10% discount with a code, so I'm in for a hair under $500. For installation, they said they have had good success with Geek Squad for 8 years. I did an online chat with Geek Squad, and they said they could do it and quoted me $129.99 for installation. Time will tell if this proves to be worth it or a massive shit storm.
Update update: Just got home from Best Buy/Geek Squad. Installed without any major issues. It has the option to connect via Bluetooth or USB (a USB-A female wire is now sticking out on the passenger side next to the glove box - I think I can tuck it essentially out of sight if I end up never using it. When paired via Bluetooth and set to Auto Pair, the screen immediately shows Apple CarPlay as soon as I start the car. The main menu gives a screen mirroring option that makes me wonder if it could show video with the associated audio coming through the speakers. The audio all comes through the Aux input, so all other options are still available.
Downsides - so far I haven't been able to bring the OEM navigation up on the screen, but that is not a problem since I prefer Waze/Google Maps/Apple Maps. Also, the buttons on the steering wheel to answer and hang up on a phone call do not appear to work, but its not an issue to do it with the CarPlay controls the same way you do everything else.
Road trip Sunday and Monday for a college visit for my 17 year old daughter (no pics), will report more after some real world experience. So far, I am quite gruntled - well worth the $500 for the unit and $150 installation in my mind.

I can't remember ever seeing a service academy's opponent try to go 'military' in their look for their game against said service academy. Odd.
I don't hate the helmet, though.
-
All the headlines I saw when I work up this morning referred to attacks against Israeli soccer fans. No mention of the hooliganism. Good to see our media machine is still fair and unbiased.

Ahh, the Vote of Confidence. When has that ever not worked?

Cover the spread. Moral victory.
How soon 'til the offseason?

Nothing earthshattering or new here
If that cameraman doesn't have a Surly handle, he needs one. Something tells me he would fit in just fine around here.

I'll own that, I guess, but (somewhat) in my defense I don't remember hearing stories about him causing problems when he was in Gainesville. Could have been selective hearing.
-
I hated it when I heard he was transferring. I'm glad he did now. Trouble. Perfect for UGAy.

I'm still not sure why Millen didn't play on Saturday. Wasn't he the 3rd string?
Yale boy passed him on the depth chart at some point this Fall.
-
I will be stunned if he is not done for the year. If it was a significant hamstring strain, why risk it for the dumpster fire that is this year? Give him plenty of time to be healthy for Spring ball. Oh, and recruit another QB or 12.

The SEC does seem like they suck at setting schedules..... Somehow we have Kentucky having played 7 SEC games already while Texas, LSU, & Mizzou have all only played 4. Meanwhile Vandy gets two bye weeks in a row after they face Souf Carolina this Saturday. Plenty of regarded to go around the horn honestly.
Wat
After USCE on 11/9, they play LSU on 11/23. According to my math (carry the 3) that's 14 days between games. That was always one bye week in the old math.

Spoiler there are probably some high functioning alcoholics headed your way for the gata game. I hope they're chill, but we have a bunch of redneck fans. I still think the UGA dildo dawgs are second in cringe only to the FSU glitter boys.
Yeah, I can’t picture that big of a jorts crowd making the trip to Austin.

Especially in the transfer portal/NIL era, QB depth is likely thin just about everywhere.

Please, school us on how Dallas (during the Texas State Fair no less) is more neutral than Jax.
