Pretty pleased with the day. I am not sure how many hands I got in and I did play kinda tight, but felt I play pretty solidly overall. I also did a seat with a player who posts on the forums pretty regularly, RiverRock55. I think it went really well, we each played for an hour and I think it was beneficial to both of us, so we are gonna try to do a couple of these a month, should be good. I watched the Apathy video, where he reviewed the play of a Leggo member. I did think it was a good idea, but I wish they had 4 tables going, I think they get too much dead time with two tables.
Tennessee officially welcomed new head coach Lane Kiffin today. I am definitely excited about the hire, though many people think it is meh. I think he was doing good things in Oakland and he needed time and for a crazy man to not interfere all the time. You don’t rebuild a terrible team overnight, he was making progress. I also think he will do well on the recruiting trails, which is probably more important at Tennessee than most other schools, as the in-state talent is not all that great. To succeed at Tennessee, it is a must to be able to recruit nationally and I think Kiffin can do that. It also seems pretty much a given that his father Monte Kiffin will join him, which will be huge. He is one of the best defensive masterminds in the game at any level. I am excited to see what this hire will bring the program, though I will say I expect no miracles. I would be content with 9 wins next year, which is winning the games Tennessee should win. I figure to win one of the big rivalry games with Florida, Georgia, and Alabama (most likely Georgia, as they are overrated and lose a ton next year) and I expect to lose a game Tennessee will be favored, probably a South Carolina or something like that. It’ll be a few years before Tennessee can realistically compete for the SEC title imo. Overall, I am pretty happy though about the change.
