I definitely could whistle about that. :)
And looks like uga, who was swept last week by Kentucky is about to sweep bama on the road. Again, Winning on the road in the sec is HARD
OM got run-ruled twice at Tennessee. UT blew the game yesterday, otherwise it would've been a sweep.
In baseball road games shouldn't matter.
It's been proven year after year after year since it was invented at every level that home teams have an advantage.Quote:

Exactly! And this year looks like the most balanced and competitive the league has ever been. Every little edge(home field for instance) will make a difference! Very talented sec!Quote:

It levels the playing field. Again- MLB prospects care ZERO about a "Vandy education." If they coveted that at all they wouldn't leave after three years without a degree. It's about having coaches that can develop them into MLB players- which Vandy had with Scott Brown and Derek Johnson. And then it becomes about scholarship money and before NIL Vandy absolutely had a huge advantage when they could offer a guy like Nolan Stevens a full ride with a "hardship" scholarship and we could only offer to pay half of his tuition.Quote:

MSU can also waive out of state tuition for some Alabama residents and maybe Tennessee and we can still offer academic aid as well.
