Yep that’s exactly what they’re doing.

They pull it off in Vegas. I think I read that these places with the translucent roofs actually have a way to open in some way for ventilation.

Check this out. I went digging to see what info was out there about translucent roofs and found more than I bargained for. The part about how they deal with snow in Minnesota is really cool (if you’re a nerd).

Well the Titans have recovered from their shitty start, let's hope the Preds follow suit

Would also love to go back before the season and see what kind of odds you could have got on 3 NFC East teams making the playoffs...

Ain't hard when you keep blowing coverage

Sorry, Volde.

I honestly thought Kentucky would do us in. Now I'm starting to believe and it's kind of scary.

This Tennessee team seems like a completely different product after the bye. Everything is just clicking on offense. If they can continue to improve on defense this might just end up being a legendary season.

 

[Predsanddead24]

Unfortunate for him but Tillman getting hurt may have been the best thing to happen to this team. It let Hyatt truly emerge and now we have so many great receivers it’s impossible to cover them all. If the defense can play like they did last night the sky is the limit for these guys.

Also how in the hell is Levis projected to be a top draft pick. I’ve never seen anything particularly impressive and he just got destroyed by a secondary that’s looked awful all season.

This is the week that matters for Tennessee and has been more so than Alabama. Lose to Georgia and as good as the season has been you still lose the East and the SEC championship. In theory Tennessee could still make the playoffs but then you are on the whims of other teams and the committee.

To be honest I'd be just fine with a sugar bowl bid and it would still be an awesome season. I'll be in Nola if they get that bid or Atl if they find their way into that playoff spot either way.

Titans pretty much having the division wrapped up after week 8 says a lot more about how bad the rest of the division is than how good the Titans are....

They’re still on the negative side in scoring margin.

You crazy SOB

 

[Armourboy]

Ok I've been watching NASCAR off and on since the early 80's and I have never seen anyone do anything like that. That's nuts.

Yeah I'd love to make the playoffs and win a championship, but even if we lose to Georgia as long as we don't blow any of Vandy, Missouri, or USC I'll be thrilled with this season. We could win a championship and it wouldn't top the Bama win in my opinion. The catharsis of finally beating them and getting to watch the goalposts come down will be hard to top.

I was just gonna ask is 20 years all that stadiums are good for anymore. This just seems ridiculous.

The Bradley Center lasted 29 years. Milwaukee County Stadium was used from 1953 to 2001, that was 48 years. That one was added onto during the years. The UWM Panther Arena opened in 1950, so we are coming up on 73 years, but it has had some renovation, like all new seats.

NFL trade deadline is tomorrow. I'm a Pats fans and I'm leaning to sell.

Damn. Vols currently the 1 seed in the CFP

I mean I'm happy for Vols fans, but I think it will be short lived.

Kentucky tried to lose in the most Kentucky of ways, but their punter saved the day and then got a likely broken leg for his troubles

 

[LCPreds]

ut had a tough time being in the spotlight on the road. Would love to see them play Georgia again but doubt that’s in the cards. Just need to win out and that should at least guarantee the Sugar Bowl.
