2. Scrap the SEC champ game and make it a game between the 2 teams with the most to play for.

Tennessee District 7 feeling very ghosted this evening
The eye-opening thing for me is that Davidson County only accounted for 24% of the votes cast. So you could absolutely crush it in Nashville, which Aftyn did, and still lose pretty handily. Seems like it will take a Dem who can win Nashville AND Clarksville.
“Tonight, you sent a clear message loud and clear,” Matt Van Epps said to the crowd at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville during his election night party. “The people of Middle Tennessee stand proudly behind President Donald Trump.”

At 4:00 pm yesterday, airport traffic was backed up to Briley (and a truck vs bridge accident on 40W at Briley had that blocked). By 5:00, when I was driving back thru, 40E was backed up to 24, Briley S to 40E was to Elm Hill, and 40W to Donelson was on the (new) ramp. (1/2)
I didn’t see the wreck, but I guessed it was terrible. I’ve never seen anything like what was happening at the airport. Like, one tunnel is not going to touch that problem.
