  1. My oldest sent me this text along with a few others: “It is that bad it shows every girl everywhere that she can’t be successful in the face of a rapist felon man.” My only response is that they still vote for him. It’s crazy.
  2. Trump’s America is who we have become, that much is clear now. That in and of itself brings on this sense of hopelessness I have this morning. There was hope that the next generation wasn’t as bad as the outgoing generation and they would help save us. Yeah, nope. There was hope that with defeat, the GOP would be able to move on from Trumpism and maybe move a different direction. Yeah, nope. Trump may have a Senate, House, and SC and more than half the voters supporting his plan. Hopeless, that’s what I see for the future. My oldest daughter is already exploring semester abroad programs, she will likely look further at more permanent solutions.
  3. Put a deposit down on both, we’ll see what they actually end up doing with them.
  4. This one was in MS, an older guy that really had no business flying. I’ve briefly read up on boom strike, but the bigger issue I have seen and heard about has been inexperience related. Clipped power lines and trees are a significant cause of fatal Robinson crashes. However, I’m with you, I’m not getting in one. It was more due to the fact I don’t trust any of the guys I know as pilots than anything else though. One of my contractor clients flies one regularly to job sites. He had 40 hours of flight training before he was turned loose. He was already instrument rated on turboprops which may have played into the time requirement, but that seemed like a very short training window to me.
  5. The main issue with Robinson’s are that they are cheap and you only need limited training hours to fly one, so too many people are flying them that have no business/experience flying them. When something goes wrong, they are done. That plus they manage to clip a lot of power lines and trees with them and that gets reported as a Robison crash the same as any other. I have a number of clients that have them and only have one that technically crashed his but he really just landed in his pond behind his house a couple weeks after getting it. Insurance people were not amused.
  6. To be completely fair, isn’t everyone posting also SEC at this point whether they like it or not?
  7. They were clearly back on by the start of the next play based on the fact no one had to remove headsets.
  8. This is the way. It will be interesting to see how many undefeated NC’s we see going forward as teams start to take the NFL approach to game planning and managing playing time. Better to try to be set up to enter December playing well and healthy with some plays in your back pocket instead of throwing everything against the wall for an October win.
  9. From the timing and game circumstance, I would think the non call against the GA DE who jumped the snap would have been more of an issue. However, they were not really calling the lines for much of anything whether it was false starts, holding, etc. There were a couple of facemasks missed both directions. It felt loose overall which is what most fans would prefer I would think over what we got in the TN/AL game. They were calling everything and then clearly missing delay of game calls.
  10. Watch the kickoff return again, there was a clear hold. If you watched the broadcast, they replayed it 2-3 times. You can debate the lack of calls on other holds, but calling that one egregious is ridiculous. The other call was egregious and was overturned. If you go visit a GA board they are all going on about the officials and how they favored TX. Seems to be the only thing fans agree on, the officials always favor the other team and are in their pockets.
  11. The complete lack of acknowledging the TX RT holding pretty constantly is kind of amazing. If everyone is going to keep going on about GA holding, you have to at least acknowledge the refs weren’t exactly throwing flags on anyone for holding. This place spends more time bitching about officiating than actually watching the games sometimes I think. If refs are one sided then it’s a good time complain, they weren’t last night.
  12. They showed a replay of it a couple minutes later during the broadcast, it came from the official on the sideline further up the field. He launched it.
  13. Kind of interesting all the comments on the fans throwing trash on the field. I seem to remember a TN game a couple years ago where the fans trashed the field and a number of people in that thread went off about how trashy (no pun intended) the TN fans and SEC fans in general were. Fan interruption should be a delay of game on the home team.
  14. You should probably watch the TX RT a little more. Maybe take a look at 85 on that run back. Quit pretending like holding is being called any differently in either side.
  15. So you’re saying the corruption caused them to make the call the first time, then it drug on so long they decided it was too obvious and backed down? Seems reasonable.
  16. TN is at GA in 3 weeks.
  17. You’re terrible at calls. The ball was long out before his arm came forward. I also don’t see you commenting on the holds on 3 straight plays by the Texas RT. This game isn’t my about the refs at this point.
  18. Between overthrows and drops, this TN offense looks like garbage.
  19. Have you been to a college football game/tailgate lately? It’s like High Noon has become the alcohol sponsor for college football instead of just the preferred drink of 19 year old sorority girls. I’m not sure I saw an actual beer anywhere last weekend. High Noons and Hard Teas made up the vast majority of what people had.
  20. Cleared history, deleted cookies, etc and it’s been fine all morning on Chrome on iPhone.
  21. GA has what, 8 straight top 3 recruiting classes? Talent isn’t the problem. They are undiscliplined and high on their own past success which shows in their off field issues and their coaching issues. They also have a Beck problem where he keeps putting the D in bad positions. Anyone looking at the MS St game score as some sort of reason for thinking TX will roll didn’t watch the game. Beck gave away field position on their first possession and then gave them 7 more points off a score with his INT in the 3rd. It wasn’t near as close as the final scoreboard. His play in the AL game was similar. If Beck shows up and doesn’t turn the ball over, this will be a game. If he does what he’s been doing lately and starts slow or throws INT’s then TX could roll. There was a lot of concern in the fans this past weekend at the tailgates/games. The fan base isn’t that confident in the game this weekend or their overall chances this year, but most of that is centered around Beck and Kirby. There is a significant level of dislike for Kirby within the fan base.
  22. Depends on the school, but it’s definitely worth a look especially with the state schools. You tend to get better dorm selection, priority class registration, better intern/study abroad opportunities, etc. Daughter gets to register before the seniors for classes due to honors college enrollment.
  23. Chicago was always the interesting one for our oldest. They wore her out with mail which I never quite got with their acceptance rates. We toured, but college campuses up North just aren’t like the campuses in the south and she wanted the big, SEC, undergrad experience. She is pretty set on applying there for law school, but she ended up passing on applying for undergrad which I was surprised by.
  24. Realistically, $200k would be a good start. Maybe they end up in state with money, maybe they go small school and get scholarships, but I would plan for the not so great side of it. $50k-$60k a year gets pretty close at most places eliminating the Wake Forests and Northeast schools of the world. I didn’t plan very well for our oldest because we always assumed she would be covered. She picked the one school giving no money and charging out of state, so $55k a year later she is living her best life where she wants to be while also putting in the work to be running near the top of her class.
  25. Are you on Sanibel or one of the other islands?
