    The Athletic tiers men's college basketball coaches...

    Stansbury at Tier 5 is valid. I've always thought he was a great example of The Peter Principle. He and Richard Williams were magic together because Stansbury was a hell of a recruiter and retainer and Williams was the ***-kicking game coach. Even if Williams hadn't dipped his pen in the...

    As if the NIL stuff wasn't enough of a hassle, now Rosebowl is using it to shame

    Asking fans to pay for NIL feels like Walmart asking me to donate $5 to help blind children learn to play the flute. From what I've seen, we're squandering money and time fast enough already without any help from me.

    OT: OTT Devices

    Got an Apple TV gizmo earlier this week and it stomps a mudhole in the functioning speed of anything else I've tried. I've had Amazon Fire TV Sticks and the Roku things on TVs for a while. One of the Fire TV Sticks died last week and I replaced it with an AppleTV thing. Granted the Amazon and...

    Jett Johnson is a BAMF!!

    Well, Jett and I are both from Tupelo. I watched him play in high school and knew him enough to speak to him now and then. He always seemed like a level-headed guy. He understood why he was supposed to be where and what the defense was trying to do. That knowledge let him use his athleticism to...

    Jett Johnson is a BAMF!!

    Reminds me of Daniel Boyd. Athletic and impressive. On every play, he's where he needs to be, doing what he's supposed to do.

    The Athletic writers do an SEC draft...

    You're absolutely right. I was so aggravated I fumbled the correction. Fixed it.

    The Athletic writers do an SEC draft...

    I don't routinely make grammar nerd posts because that's not the point of this board, but anyone who considers himself a writer and uses the word "myself" instead of "I" when the latter is called for is an ignorant piece of ****. Not to mention he should have written "and I" at the end of the...

    DWS Renovations Rumors…

    I agree. Chairbacks throughout the stadium seems like the bare minimum. I bought season football tickets this year for the first time in a very long time -- I had my pick of the stadium, including 50 yard line, west side, lower level. There's no way the attendance trend is going to reverse on...

    In case you haven’t noticed the used car market is completely 17ed.

    That is a hell of a good idea. If we lived somewhere with a robust Uber/Lyft supply, I'd do that in a second.

    Ot: wing flats.

    Hold the flat by the larger cut end using your thumb and first three fingers. Press opposite end down perpendicularly against plate, allowing your fingers just enough slack to let the stripped bones slide between your finger tips. This presses the meat loose from one end. Dip as desired. Eat the...

    Bone Tomahawk

    Well, I thought I had seen a good bit of violence on film & video. I've seen every war movie you can name, not to mention supposedly real videos online of Mexican drug cartel torture and executions. Then I watched Bone Tomahawk yesterday evening. A scene in it set a new standard. It's a pretty...

    OT: Obi-wan Kenobi.

    I don't require much in the way of believability from my science fiction, but the toddler-chasing of Leia running around was too unbelievable to tolerate. Couldn't take two steps and grab her? Might as well have been episodes of Blues Clues or The Wiggles. I've tried to figure out why they did...

    Next weather system to monitor

    Same here. I'm in Tupelo. I could mow every three days if I wanted to.

    What’s the MSU games you were the most overjoyed that you attended?…

    1996 Alabama One of many games I've enjoyed with my dad. Thoroughly unexpected and lightly-attended. There were people giving away tickets on the west side before the game. I distinctly recall seeing a handful someone had thrown into the shrubs beside the entrance. That was a really special...
