128/133 in 6:30. In defense of my knowledge, if not my wisdom... ::: spoiler spoiler ODU and Kent State are the only two I truly forgot. I just straight up skimmed past UNC, then I misspelled Sam Houston and I still don't why it didn't take my answer for ULM:::

Scared money don't make money, right Billy? Also, regardless of what happened, going to OT forced the nation to endure more of that mutual shitshow than was necessary.

Welp, I'm happy with this. TN plays alabama, florida, Kentucky fulfilling my criteria for a schedule. We even play Vandy so the blue hairs can be happy and Georgia so idiots who think they're a blueblood can be happy too! Edit: although now that I'm looking at it, it's just this year's schedule with flipped home games...

The quarterback's father, Bob Sluka, told ESPN that head coach Barry Odom later said in a phone conversation that the offer wasn't valid because it didn't come from him, but rather from offensive coordinator Brennan Marion, who declined comment to ESPN. >UNLV and Shannon Cottrell, the director of athlete engagements for the Friends of UNLV collective, also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

It's finally happened. I have no idea WTF is happening with realignment. The players in the drama are constantly shifting, the motivations are murky, the money is not immediately obvious. I am very confused.
