Shit, that's right. I forgot in my middle-age. There was the Firebird with the V6, and then the V8 was the same body basically but called the Trans-Am. And the weird thing was the Firebird didn't have the bird painted on it, but the Trans-Am did (which looked cool as fuck in the aspirated venting on the hood). Like there was the Camaro and the Z28, (V6 & V8 respectively). We had a running joke in Chicago, where there were apparently a few Italian fellows (or one million), that the IROC-Z shoulda been called the IWOP-Z. It was the first mass-production car that had that batshit stupid drag kit that had the front/back ends and side rails that barely stayed off the ground. And you'd see those things get stuck in the snow all the time because there wasn't enough clearance. But light a cigarette, pop your leather jacket collar, and you were still good to go. I can see that metallic purple paint job in my head still. /nohomo
To keep in thread track, I don't care for this Trump fellow one bit...
The levels of Firebird were Espirit which is what Rockford invented the J turn in, then the Formula was the next level up. (I’m here because my Mom liked my dad’s two tone blue 79 Formula Firebird, then the Trans-Am at the top for beer to Atlanta from Texarkana. (I get that is been covered but Firebirds are an important part of our culture)

He wasn't going against the same level athletes while at Sioux Falls either.
He also wasn't managing high level talent over there either.
He definitely wasn't dealing with SEC recruiting while over there.
As an alum as a school that was in the same league as Sioux Falls was then, USF was playing with about a 1/3 more scholarships than the rest of the GPAC, and were generally big on getting drop down transfers. That being said they used their advantage to absolutely beat the shit out of everyone the way they should have.

Where are you seeing that? Oil dropping sharply today because KSA slashed prices on crude for February delivery, but I haven't seen anything regarding production cuts.
General rumor and innuendo

Sounds like the Saudi's are giving up on cuts today.

I do find it kind of funny today that my very Catholic co-workers are pushing the idea that everything but the Church is riddled with Pedophiles.

Tremendous need to be easily drunk in Lincoln Nebraska
Usually when they put out the drunkest cities maps, Lincoln and Fargo are the only non-Wisconsin cities in the upper reaches of the list. (For Old Style, Lincoln was/is the second biggest market after Chicago, and is very close to having the biggest Busch Light market by share as well)

Grain Belt and Old Style.
Say what you want about Lincoln Nebraska but I can always snag these at rock bottom prices, and that counts for something.

sounds like she puts out though

While it's really nobodies fault, having my almost 94 year old grandma have a heart attack this week, and have to make her first ever hospital stay that wasn't related to childbirth has really put a dampener on the week. So far everyone has handled it well, although we haven't really told her yet that she needs too much help to continue living at home yet.

191 million at $2000 a head? That many people think there’s big profit in that industry?
eta: I just looked at current pricing of the ranch I used to buy from and they are at $3400 for a whole, processed animal. So based on that, profit starts at $1400 and you subtract, i assume, food/vet care/processing/rancher’s share. What’s left?
While margins took a shot the last couple of months, they first part of the year my cattle feeders were clearing record profits per head

I've went back and forth between bifold and trifold. Currently bifold that is getting pretty beat up.

My country ass grew up thinking people were ‘chewing them down’ when negotiating price on something. Had not a clue that it was straight up antisemitism. Noted during high school years, saying that is way fucked up.
I thought that as well for awhile before putting it together. Spending time in rural Nebraska, I've heard a lot of variations on what the help at the co-op is referred to as, along with comments about the football players in Lincoln.

Looks like we're getting our annual Holiday Season dip into the 60's and 70's.
Guessing we bottom out low to mid-60's at some point between now and Xmas.
Put a 6 in front of it today.

Going back to this, was it raining or did you have a snowmaggedon game like ISU and K State over in Manhattan?
It was snowing but melting just a little, but not quite as much as it was in Manhattan. After they won they were all able to make snow angels in the end zone.

Nephews team took care business in the snow. (Helped that both teams ran the single wing and there were about 5 passes the whole game to move things along) the drive back sucked in white out conditions though.

Let me know you're in town, next time. I have bourbon in my office.
I'm sure I'll end up that way eventually.

I really feel I have a connection to the story now since I've pissed at that Casey's too.

Hays has a very solid brewery, IIRC. Some of the regulars at Toppling Goliath back when my wife worked there had family out that way and would always bring some back when they visited.
So I guess you could warm up with that after the game.
I’m sure some of us will hang around and might try that, and the other chunk will be trying to make kickoff in Manhattan

I feel good that the only complaint I can make going into Thanksgiving is that I am going to have freeze my ass off in Hays, KS Saturday to watch my nephew play for the 1A state title.

I feel like I should note that part of my smoking such as it was is that I tried to chew Skoal WinterGreen fine cut like my Uncles but I just couldn’t master the wrist motion to pack it worth a shit, and couldn’t lower myself to bandits.
I also tried out Dutch Masters Cigars because my grandpa used to get those by the box full, but it just made me want and Ice cream cone because he always get me one at the co-op when I have got ride around with him to open gates and lock out the 4 wheel drive hubs in the pasture because his knees were shot from dairying

Fedex lost my Uncles ashes in 2001,(although he would have found it hilarious). They did eventually turn up though.

I fear those damn things more than water moccasins when kayaking.
There was one on town lake that would circle his territory just wishing a motherfucker would.
The small college I attended in Nebraska had on campus lakes with a pair swans, and was also a wet campus, so you really had to keep your head on a swivel walking home hammered. When it was time to move them to winter quarters, the ground crew would like up the work study kids like you were covering a kickoff and try to push them across campus into their heated shed and fenced in area. It usually took a few tries.

What are good resources for managing a surprise inheritance? My dad died when I was very young, and this past week my grandmother passed after my grandfather passed in 2009. I never really thought about that I’d inherit my dads share of the estate, and nobody really said much about it to me until we were at the funeral home, so I need to figure out what I’m going to do with it.
