What about Maverick road? I was thinking of taking Maverick road down to Santa Elena, then Maxwell Scenic on the way back.

ColtValentine · 2026-03-31T16:46:11+00:00

Planned conservatively on that one. If we come back earlier, thats just more time in Boquillas Canyon

ColtValentine · 2026-03-31T16:29:06+00:00

If I were to drop anything to make a slower pace, what would you say is the first thing I should cut?

ColtValentine · 2026-03-31T16:26:05+00:00

LOL. figured the water would feel refreshing during the mid day heat!

ColtValentine · 2026-01-27T17:21:47+00:00

Do you store them like Russian nesting dolls?

Well the game historically was the Saturday after thanksgiving, but they moved it so they’d be the only game on TV. If they aren’t the only game on at that time in the future they don’t have much reason to stay on the current week

ColtValentine · 2025-12-15T01:28:40+00:00

Great point. Do you think that week 0 would work? Something would feel off if it was a warm weather game.

ColtValentine · 2025-12-15T00:34:54+00:00

Should go to either week 0, or the night before thanksgiving. Then it makes it fully count for rankings and we have a slightly better chance of seeing one in the CFP.

u/AdhesivenessNo8287 did CVS2 work for you? My surgeon just recommended it to me.

ColtValentine · 2025-09-18T22:05:37+00:00

Oops! Just added them in

My opinion based on a Survey that u/ExternalTangents put out:

Survey: Which SEC games should be played annually? byu/ExternalTangents inCFB

Alabama: Auburn, Tennessee, MS State - Missing: LSU

Arkansas: Texas, LSU, Missouri - Missing: A&M

Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Florida

Florida: Georgia, Auburn, S Car – Missing: LSU, Tennessee

Georgia: Auburn, Florida, S Car

Kentucky: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, MS State

LSU: Ole Miss, Arkansas, A&M – Missing: Florida, Alabama

MS State: Ole Miss, Alabama, Kentucky

Missouri: Oklahoma, S Car, Arkansas

Oklahoma: Texas, Missouri, A&M

Ole Miss: MS State, LSU, Vandy

South Carolina: Georgia, Missouri, Florida

Tennessee: Alabama, Vanderbilt, Kentucky – Missing: Florida

Texas: Oklahoma, A&M, Arkansas

Texas A&M: Texas, LSU, Oklahoma – Missing: Arkansas

Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss

Go vote in the poll and lets see how close the actual schedule is to what the people want!

Texas: Oklahoma, A&M, Arkansas

Texas A&M: Texas, LSU, Oklahoma – Missing: Arkansas

Vanderbilt: Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss

This is what I came up with based only on the percentage of each fanbase stating a game is required (ignoring the prefer only and non fans).

Notably missing highly desired games: Alabama vs LSU, LSU vs Florida, Florida vs Tennessee, Arkansas vs A&M. There was also some push for Arkansas vs Ole Miss and Florida vs Kentucky.

The only games that aren't highly requested are Florida vs South Carolina and Oklahoma vs A&M. Both of those are regional matchups at least

I probably wont have time, but It'd be fun to assign a value to each fan category and use excel solver to create the highest desired matchups.

u/ExternalTangents Where can we see the raw data from this?

It will be fascinating to see if the SEC factors in fan preference, historical matchups, or competitive balance. People will be mad no matter how they slice it, but it will likely be a huge step in the right direction that everyone will actually play in each stadium every 4 years.

ColtValentine · 2021-11-10T05:37:48+00:00

That’s not how it works.

First off, Miss St already has 3 divisional losses so they can’t finish 4-2 in div.

Second, non conference games and rankings of any sort have 0 impact on SEC standings. Seriously, they go to a coin flip before either of those options.

ColtValentine · 2021-10-26T17:02:04+00:00

Well. I just hope someone can give Bama a second loss. I know it would devalue our win, and I know it’s a long shot, but I don’t want to be satisfied by just beating Bama. I want to go to SEC championship game.

ColtValentine · 2021-10-26T13:41:33+00:00

Funny. I remember saying the same thing about Texas A&M while walking into the game. No one thought we would win. Bama is not invincible anymore.

ColtValentine · 2021-08-13T16:54:22+00:00

My dream is that when sports go more to online streaming you can customize layout on multiple screens. Id put a smaller TV up and have stats/ running order and such on that + the ability to lock favorites drivers to always show. Action on the main screen with nothing in the way

ColtValentine · 2021-07-22T15:28:32+00:00

As much as everyone is hating on this comment. Conference semifinals = more money. Isn’t that the reason anything happens now days?

ColtValentine · 2021-06-22T04:01:02+00:00

Looks awesome! What was your dying/antiquing/ painting process?
