    Is the shine already coming off ai & data centers?

    The AI is inevitable. Would you prefer it be American or Chinese that is imposed upon us? Personally I’d rather win. But the lack of power build out compared to China makes that unlikely barring Elon actually putting them in space.

    Pitching development

    It’s true we seem to lack mental toughness. All around. Really hard to lose as much as we have with the talent we have. That said… Let’s not forget what girodo spent all of his early career being prior to a summer trip to the cape that changed everything that rolled over to one elite season...

    OT: Most You Have Paid For Gas

    Like $13/gal diesel going west at the last station before Barstow(like 80 miles of nothingness). Was iffy on making it and only got a couple gallons at that racket to get me by. I spend quite a bit of time in Cali every year for work so these current prices aren’t all that shocking to me….

    Dudy Noble has finally been updated on google maps.. Let's have some MS Paint drawings of how you'd add seating.

    Could be done quickly this season in scaffold in right. A bleacher setup without the bleacher itself essentially being a temporary berm. Could even span the road if need be. 2-3 week install for these guys. Quick band aid for the bigger problem but allows us to strike while the iron is hot...

    How's your weather thread

    We just lost it but the rest of the street still has it according to Entergy website. It’ll all be down soon giving the encroaching red. I was warned when I moved there that Entergy wanted to do a lot of ROW maintenance that kept being blocked by aesthetic concerns. A whole home backup has...

    How's your weather thread

    Finally punched all the way thru the winter precip about 40 miles before El Paso yesterday afternoon. Approached my threshold for sketchiness on the road a handful of times. Ran 4wd for probably 250 miles. Rained on me all the way to Tucson. Wife still has power in Madison, but given the...

    How's your weather thread

    Headed west on i10. Spent the night in San Antonio thinking it was free and clear ahead of me. Boy was I wrong. 17* in west Texas with ice in front of me.

    Verizon Down. Venezuelan Counterattack?**

    Still down for me. Had been unhappy for awhile with rural service seeming to go downhill consistently the last few years. Back to AT&T we go.

    Close to $30 million

    What was Cignetti handed? It’s not a multi-year building process anymore when the money is right. Not even worth fighting with you in the same thread Goat has already owned you on the exact same request.

    Close to $30 million

    Just so we are on the record — where do you think $30mil to build a single team ranks? Thats more than either of the last two Ole Miss rosters. It’s a similar number to the Ohio State that won it all literally last year. It’s double what Indiana has spent. We spent top 20ish $$ last year if...

    Close to $30 million

    So 6 wins is the expectation in year 3 for top 10ish NIL expenditure?

    Close to $30 million

    Did we not spend 8-4 money on this past team? I heard between 15-20mil on the roster. Could be wrong, but it definitely shapes the lens I view this staff through. At $30mil we are still very much underwhelming at the spots we actually need the help in the portal IMO.

    A look at new coaches hired so far.

    I think if you did talent level vs production, arnett1 was the most productive dc we have had in the modern era. Pretty sure I’ve got a post here from when he left for ole miss as an analyst stating the obvious that’s now come full circle. Depending on how the portal treats us, he will have...

    ESPN Networks have one week left on YouTube TV

    I just did DIRECTV streaming thru firetvs. Extremely happy so far. The sports interface of it is awesome. I hold down select and it pulls scores on the left 1/4 of the screen and I can click them to change to them. Im at $95/mo on that with the sports package and the max package. Really...

    I miss this kind of football

    I remember this offense having quite a bit of success against eventual national champion Bama the very next year with this same offense in a game I'm still pretty upset that we/the refs found a way to lose. It was impressive how well we ran the ball that night.
