Sanderson Center Renovation
Good news. Right in the middle of badminton season though. Where will the Pakistanis practice? -
OT: Does the IBIT ETF Change anyone's mind about investing in bitcoin?
Saying fiat current is not backed by anything is not exactly true. The dollar is generally exchanged via Federal Reserve notes that are backed by debt that is issued by a nation with the constitutional authority to tax as well as the world's largest economy, an enormous amount of natural... -
What's the deal with the Palmeiro Center?
If my memory is correct, the original intent of the facility was to be baseball only. Croom pushed to have it accommodate football as well, and I think his reasoning was recruiting / keeping with the Jones. I am sure it comes in handy from time to time, but I doubt its that beneficial from a... -
Get ready for the board to explode ESPN CFB Way To Early Poll
If a Bear wins the West when there is no West to win, does it hang a banner? -
OT: Markets........
How can you compare bitcoin to the S&P 500, gold, and US Treasuries on an extended time horizon? Bitcoin has been around about 10 years. Gold has been a unit of exchange for all of recorded history. Stocks and government debt have been traded for hundreds of years. -
Well Bud Light ….

My grandparents lived in southern Bolivar County and were without power for 6 weeks. A line of wooden high voltage transmission lines that ran in a field about a half mile behind their house fell like dominos as far as you could see in both directions. The thing I remember is the short line of... -
Wait, the MS House wants to get rid of building codes?
Ok fella, I don't really feel like getting into a debate over semantic distinction, so lets just assume I meant to say "It has become much dumber". -
Wait, the MS House wants to get rid of building codes?
It has become much less educated. Sometimes the chickens take the long way when coming home to roost. -
If you could pick 1 player from 2001 - 2008...
Defense is the largest need. I know we need help up front, but Mario Haggan was a tackling machine and maybe the most talented player on that side of the ball in that time span. If we gave Tommy Kelly another chance do you think he would give us another chance? He had a 10 year NFL career. Him... -
Is this a first? A mayor that doesn't want a pro team in their town?
Most of the strip is technically within in Paradise, NV. -
What is it about Bama that scares us?
The deck is always stacked in Alabama's favor, not matter what. Try driving through Gordo or Reform with an out of state tag.... -
OT: Bourbon and Beyond Fest in Louisville KY
Lake Tiak-O'Khata is a can't miss, and I hear Noxopater is fantastic that time of year. -
Most hated modern day small talk phrases….
Do you honestly believe that anyone with so much as a rudimentary understanding of the history of this board would think that?
