Pick a subject. We will write you something dry enough to post. Satire, not reporting.
Notice
Saturday · Atlanta
Tennessee at Georgia Tech · Sep 12 · 7:00 ET · Atlanta
Primetime on the road. First real test of the year.
Take
Mon
The freshman is starting. The takes will write themselves. Ours already did.
A young quarterback in this conference is not a scandal. It is a temperature. Week two in Atlanta is the thermometer.
Whisper
Sun night
Someone in Market Square is already selling Furman as a trap game.
It is not a trap game. It is Furman. Sit down. Save the panic for Texas week, which is already leaking into the group chats.
Rumor
Sun
Heard the over/under is 7.5. Heard the river does not care about Vegas.
Four of the twelve are supposed to be losses. That is a lot of supposed-to. We took the over because we live here.
Take
Sat
Night in Atlanta is the first real test. Georgia Tech is not a warm-up.
Pack the voice. If the offense still looks like itself on a road clock, the season has a spine. If it does not, we will hear about it until November.
Whisper
Fri
A man in a brand-new orange polo asked if we print the letter.
We do not print the letter. We print the outline. Geography we actually own. He bought the hat anyway.
Notice
Thu
Texas week is four Saturdays away and already living in the group chat.
Noon, national window, a roster that is supposed to be better. Steal it and the over/under is a rumor. Hydrate now.
Take
Thu
Independent merch will not get you into a club. It will get you a better shirt.
The bookstore sells permission. We sell a drawing. If the design needs a protected logo to work, it is a bad design.
Rumor
Wed
Somebody heard Alabama is a home game this year and started clearing the calendar in October.
Permanent opponent, finally. The hill will be a problem for them. The talent gap will be a problem for us. Still worth the ticket.
Whisper
Tue
The hats are going to outsell the tees and nobody in this building wants to admit it.
A brim does more talking at a tailgate than a chest logo. The outline was built for a crown. We noticed. The inventory did too.
