Don't underestimate Joe Milton.

If he gets in a groove. He will wear them out with the long ball.

Go Vols.

Too bad Dabo figured out he had the real starter on the bench this season.

Dabo blew the CFP. He has it if he plays the freshman.

Alabama and LSU for starters.

Who has Alabama beat that they should be in the Sugar Bowl?

Although Sugar is more “honored and respected” in the pecking order (and to be frank in principle I’d rather be playing there), given the time slot, location, orangeness, and opponent I’m pretty excited for this one.

I already have my tickets.

The Orange Bowl is a lot more fun for fans. Sunny South Florida over trashy New Orleans is no comparison.

I respectfully disagree about New Orleans. It’s a city I’m very fond of.

Nonetheless you’re mostly right in principle.

He's right. New Orleans is just filth and trash. It's a bucket list city you go to once and never go back to.

Surviving a night in downtown NOLA is a rite of passage for every American. That city is disgusting, trashy, ridiculous, hilarious, dangerous, fun, charming, and terrifying all at once. The smell of sulfur and piss that dominates the NOLA air is unmistakable.

I did a Saturday night during Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street when I was in college. My goodness what a shite show of debauchery that night was. We drank up and down Bourbon until the sun rose, saw countless naked people who had no business walking around naked, had our money stolen from us when we trusted a local to buy us cocaine, and we literally saw a guy get shot right in front of us that temporarily created chaos and panic, only for everyone to completely forget the shooting even happened and act like everything was totally normal 10 minutes later as soon as the guy who was shot was taken away ( to this day we have no clue if he lived or not). A few years later we all went back for a bachelor's weekend for the first of our college buds getting married. All I'll say about that bachelor trip is that NOLA strip clubs are ratchetedly disgusting places even by your most basic trashy strip club standards. Each time I've been I've had both a lot of fun and have always run into some individuals or situations that were serious trouble. I'm content knowing I've already had my fair share of Bourbon Street and unless I have to go there for business reasons one day I definitely have no desire to go back there for a vacation type setting.
