I view Lunardi's preseason predictions as a joke. It isn't that hard to do what he does at a somewhat high %

Even if is "the best" at it, nothing he does is based on his analysis of team's qualities and predictions. All his stuff is retrospective based on "resumes" that don't exist

I've got TAMU third in the SEC


Same for me. I think they are the most likely non UK team to win the SEC, but I think they'll end up around #3/4

quote:

I'm surprised he has Vandy so high too


Agreed. I thought they were overrated last year. Their OOC results were atrocious before BigXII challenge. Losing Kornett only makes them worse with no clear improvements

quote:


I don't see any way 80% of the Big XII gets in this year. Are Texas and Oklahoma really going to be that much better?



Oklahoma should be. They played a reallytough schedule + lost their best player for some 50+% of the year.

Texas has talent + Shaka Smart hype is still real. I don't buy it though

all the available seats suck. I'm going to try to buy a package from a booster that only gets them for Tide Pride status.

Yet there will be tons of good seats open for most games. Sad

Boosters pay some $3-4k+ for scholarship tickets only to goto UK + rivalry games & boost priority. Too much a "hassle" to give away/sell tickets too

Friend in AU's AD told me they had a courtside seats booster (~$250k+ donations) call up Tigers Unlimited contact to say he saw on TV someone sitting in his seats

This guy couldn't be bothered to even give his courtside seats away but he wants to complaina bout people in his seats

nah, just wondering if the new ticket holders got their tix before the older season ticket holders, sort of odd.

Ah! Gotcha.

No, tickets don't ship until late October. But I locked mine in when they went on sale to the public yesterday.

Javian Fleming tweeted he's cutting his list to 5 soon. I also searched Avery Johnson's name on twitter and saw a guy that I guess is Jared Butler's brother saying they were seeing Avery today

I checked that guys tweets and first he said Jared would meet with Avery today, then he confirmed that Jared did meet with Avery, and now minutes ago he said he's unsure if he met with Avery lol

Just bought a couple season tickets. I hope I don't have buyer's remorse come March.

Plus for at least one of their losses, they played on 1 day rest + jetlag from going to Australia.

I'm not sold on Shaka Smart, but can't judge him too much with a extremely young team in this situation.
