I don't like massive deviations from source material, either write a completely different story, or stay faithful, don't mix it
Aspects of this film I really loved, starts really strong but ultimately in the end it's not that good.

re: Johnny Depp to play Ebenezer in new Christmas Carol movie
Posted by Outback Ray on 10/24/25 at 10:47 pm to Gifman
A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite works of Literature even though it's seasonal the material is so incredible and very human. Johnny Depp is interesting casting. I usually prefer a Brit, but it could work. With Johnny I think it should tilt a little darker and more gothic. A warm brassy version with Jack Sparrow could be a silly hot mess.

Their defense was athletic and FLYING around, they will crush weaker ACC teams. Their QB is a really athletic tough player. Made some big plays a lot of QBs can't.
This is not the best team, we have played in the Kelley era. But on paper it's top 5, and on the road to open the season. Epic win.
1) Florida St 23
2) Bama 22
3a 3b) Bama 23 / Ole Miss 24
5a 5b) Tenn 22 / Clemson 25

re: When the SEC eventually has 20 teams, how should the conference be structured?
Posted by Outback Ray on 8/22/25 at 5:51 pm to BigBro
Miami is NEVER coming to the SEC. I think Kansas has a better chance than them. Miami does not make the league any more money. I'm even iffy on FSU Clemson even joining. The targets are UNC and Virginia. You only take FSU Clemson, if you feel the BIG10 is coming for them, I actually think they could end up in BIG12
Future OOC P4 games and last week of season.
Posted by Outback Ray on 8/21/25 at 7:47 pm
Half of the league will satisfy their P4 OOC in last week of season.
Kentucky / Louisville
South Carolina / Clemson
Georgia / Georgia Tech
Florida / Florida St
Ole Miss / Miss St
Texas / Texas A&M
Alabama / Auburn
Tennessee / Vanderbilt
Unless Oklahoma wants to schedule bedlam to end the year every year. It would leave us

Y'all crazy to think TV is going to pay more money for LSU Bama or LSU Florida NOT to be annual. So Bama can play Miss St lol. You're asking more money for 16 more slots of high end inventory, SEC honestly needs the money.
BIG10 has lots of bad teams but they are in MASSIVE markets that generates some big time money.

re: UF/SC people: Does this change the calculus re: FSU and Clemson?

I think it depends on what becomes more important to the league More valuable inventory or new markets.

If you gave me a choice between 9 SEC games, and schedule 3 of the weakest teams possible
Then having a 8 game SEC season and play Oregon / West Virginia or UCLA / USC
Yeah ... bring on 9 with McNeese and Nichols

TV Brass is NOT letting an Alabama / LSU or Florida / LSU annual game get off the docket.
This is about more quality matchups.

3 annual opponents makes the last game of the season interesting A&M will play Texas to end the season. Arkansas probably would stick with Mizzou(an actual rival for them to end the season with so good for them) Our 3 perms are almost certainly between Ole Miss, A&M, and Bama/UF, and they all have rivals to end the season Probably keep Oklahoma the 2 years they're on the schedule. But what about the other 2. Legit have no clue
Kentucky / SCAR / Georgia / Florida have the annual ACC rival
Texas / TA&M - Bama / Auburn - Egg Bowl
Oklahoma should play bedlam
We should rotate Missouri and Arkansas

For TV networks the more games involving
Oklahoma
Texas
LSU
Alabama
Auburn
Tennessee
Georgia
Florida
Playing each other, the better. Doesn't even matter if they are having good season. Those 9 will drive the money the conference can make. All schools who have won and competed for national titles in the modern era.

Depends on how much TV dictates.
Also remember there are 6 other games. Those with easy annual will have brutal rotating

Why not? Tennessee / Auburn are locks, and LSU vs Bama is one of the most viewed TV games every year.

Something like this would work for me. Miss St would have a cake walk annual, but there rotating would be brutal.

re: How do the preseason o-line concerns compare to the 2023 secondary concerns ?
Posted by Outback Ray on 8/21/25 at 11:56 am to Alt26
Not really, we were a whisper away from 6-6 last year. Not saying we are going to lose them all. But we can. I don't understand why everyone thinks this team is a bonafide 10-2.
You have a moderately mobile QB prone to making bad decisions under pressure (until he proves otherwise). And that's with 4 NFL lineman. This year the whole unit is new. And the weakness is the interior.You also have a terrible play caller in Sloan we ranked 13/16 SEC in red zone TD %. Mubenga / Chester are among the worst graded players in LSU Football last decade. We absolutely will have to scheme around that weakness
Positive , I think the Center will be pretty good and help Nuss stay calm.

If its Mubenga / Chester playing at all, then prepare yourself for this O-Line to wrecked this year. It's going to make games that shouldn't be close much closer. 2019 vs Auburn is a prime example. We moved the ball up and down the field. But their D-Line was NASTY that year in the interior and kept the game close.
Florida, A&M, Oklahoma, SCAR, Bama, Clemson all have as good or better D-Lines than we do. IMO we could lose all 6 of those games easily because they all have QB's who can make plays and quality defensive line.
