South Carolina after a bye week. 8th straight game for the Vols. SC wins this.

---

2024 - USCe after bye week played Ole Miss who had just played Kentucky and 5 straight games. Ole Miss won 27-3

2023 - USCe after a bye week played Florida who had just played 7 straight games. Florida won 41-39

Those are the last 2 games I've seen where South Carolina came off of a bye week and played an opponent who wasn't coming off of a bye week.

So, dermatology, endocrinology, cardiology, proctology "arse doctors", oncology, radiology. They are medical professionals that hold a Doctor of Medicine degree and are working at hospitals.

Optometrists hold a Doctor of Optometry and typically work out of a commercial vision center or own their own practice.

Dentists hold a Doctor of Dentistry and work out of commercial dental centers or own their own practice.

The billing structures are different, and it's a helluva lot more efficient to have separate vision and dental policies. For example, Delta Dental and VSP are great to deal with, and seem to be much more efficient than if a UHC or BC/BS were the insurance provider.

Apparently this scenario is called the field storm fade.
Go against the team that just stormed their field after a huge win.

---

I guess that makes sense, but in looking up games after their fans stormed the field, Tennessee's results have been:

1985 - Stormed field after beating #1 Auburn and shutting down Bo Jackson - Next game UT beat Wake Forest 31-29

1985 - Stormed field after beating Vandy (locking down SEC Championship) - Next game UT beat Miami 35-7

1989 - Stormed field after beating #4 Auburn - Next game UT beat Georgia 17-14

1998 - Stormed field after beating #2 Florida - Next game UT beat Houston 42-7

2022 - Stormed the field after beating Bama - Next game UT beat UT Martin 65-24

2024 - Stormed the field after beating Bama - Next game UT beat Kentucky 28-18


I'm sure there are more games out there, but those were the ones I've been able to find.

Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, a 3dB increase in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) represents a mathematical doubling of acoustic energy.

---

quote:

---

Acoustical energy like radiation is diminished by distance from the source by exponential amounts. Like I said… all depends on where you measure it. The only close to true “apples to apples” comparison would be to put the measure ment device on the geometric center of the stadium which is not practical.

---

Sort of...but it's more than that. Not only do you measure from the geometric center...but also the direction of the microphone picking up the signal would need to be standardized. While stadiums are somewhat symmetrical...they aren't exactly symmetrical. Materials of construction, reflective or absorbing projections impact sound levels...and also, the noise sources are not symmetrical. Since microphones are directional, what is the relative position relative to the noise source? The source is not symmetrical...fans in one section of the stadium will be louder than others. How is the SLM mic pointed relative to the louder/quieter parts of the stadium?

If you are really wanting to measure impact...if you could put multidirectional mics in the middle of the field around 5-6 feet off of the ground, you could get relative exposure to the players on the field...which is where the noise really matters. Unfortunately, that would get in the way of the game...which is kind of important, too.

As it is, every stadium will place their SLMs in areas where they think they will receive the maximum Sound Pressure Levels...so, that does standardize things a bit. The loudest part of this stadium that they could measure is x dBA louder than the loudest part they could measure of this stadium.

As I mentioned in an earlier post...Sound Pressure Level is one thing...but not incorporating Octave Band Analysis is the real gap. High frequency noises are significantly more reflective, but dissipate much more quickly than low frequency noise. They can characteristically be perceived differently on the field at the same sound pressure level.

And one more thing, since the scale is logarithmic (an increase of 10 dB is a doubling of sound pressure), Tennessee @ 137 dB vs. LSU @ 130 dB means at their loudest, Neyland Stadium sounded roughly 1.6 times louder (about 60% louder) than death valley (assuming these number are accurate).

---

OSHA and MSHA use a 5 dB exchange rate (meaning for every 5 dB increase, your allowable exposure time is cut in half). NIOSH, ACGIH and the EU use a 3 dB exchange rate.

The scientific accuracy of the 3dB exchange rate is predicated on the “Equal Energy Principle,” which asserts that the total energy of sound is the primary predictor of hearing damage. Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, a 3dB increase in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) represents a mathematical doubling of acoustic energy.

The 5dB exchange rate is grounded in the theory that intermittent noise is less damaging than continuous noise due to the ear’s ability to recover during quiet intervals. So, it includes "rest periods" to account for injury potential as a result of 5 dB increases.

If you do the math, the not to exceed time for 130.3 dB's is just under 1 second.

---

0.72 seconds (ACGIH TLV/NIOSH REL)


7 seconds puts you at 415% of the OSHA PEL or 51,413% of the NIOSH REL.

SEC states ranked by dental health (including DC...so total of 51):

22. Georgia
24. Missouri
35. Oklahoma
39. South Carolina
41. Tennessee
42. Florida
44. Alabama
45. Kentucky
46. Louisiana
48. Texas
49. Arkansas
51. Mississippi

So, the "Toothless Hillbillies" have better dental health than the Trailer Park Trash.

So TN gets to pay $500 k on top of embarrassing itself by storming the field as if they’ve never beaten a good/decent team?

They actually made an announcement and kept fans from coming onto the field for 2 minutes for Alabama players to clear the field...not rushing the field before the clock even hits zero like Ole Miss did vs Georgia in '24.

Yep...it's only through week 4. I was trying to get the latest, but it wouldn't pull up.
