    Sorry if Germanic, but MY GOD BAMA FANS ARE THE WORST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET

    My ex-wife's dad grew up in Alabama, so was a big sidewalk Bama fan. Genuinely nice man who I still talk to regularly even though his daughter and I got divorced 10 years ago. Sometime prob 2009-2013 he got asked to actually go to a game in Tuscaloosa to watch the State-Bama game. This was a...

    OT - October scary movie list

    We went to Yosemite two years ago. The interiors of the hotel in The Shining were copied almost identically from an old hotel in the valley of Yosemite called the Awahnee. The huge lobby with the Indian motif, the bloody elevators, everything. Standing in the lobby was eerie to the point it...

    Starkville is slammed

    Everything is packed and people are everywhere. We went to Little Dooey’s for dinner and it was full, and then ran by the Lodge at 8:30 to get one of my kids something maroon for tomorrow (since our section is maroon). Even though the Lodge was closing at 9:00, there were tons of people in...

    Ticket holder boxes

    I chose a frostbuddy and got mine a few weeks ago, along with the pins for every game that my kids now fight over. The box, pins and everything are pretty slick, ngl.

    Can we please

    I think the coordinated color deals are kinda silly, but I've worn maroon or white as directed by our athletic department overlords - mainly because I already have maroon and white shirts. And yes, I've even entered my section number, which reeked of effort, to find out that I'm supposed to wear...

    As someone that graduated from MSU and worked at three other SEC schools

    Right. You have freedom of speech. You do not have the right to disrupt or damage your employer's business with your speech. Would be like the person taking orders at McDonald's saying "Our food sucks" and telling people they shouldn't eat there, and then saying it's their first amendment right.

    As someone that graduated from MSU and worked at three other SEC schools

    I try to tell my employees again and again that social media is not your friend. Of the ones who have done something sufficiently stupid for me to call them in, they're almost always in their 20s/early 30s. What's worse is, most of them are contrite, but a handful of them have had a "What's...

    Mizzou kickoff set for 6:45

    I'm all for it. My tickets are on the east side, and man we burned up at some 2:30-ish games last September.

    2027 GMC trucks

    And the lifters are also allegedly complex from an engineering standpoint … as part of the fuel management/cylinder deactivation system, they’re designed to collapse when their cylinder is deactivated. But sometimes they fail, the valves get stuck open or closed, and kablooey.

    2027 GMC trucks

    Crazy to me that Cadillac came out with the 8-6-4 engines in what, late 70s/early 80s? And everybody's still apparently struggling to make something like this work.

    2027 GMC trucks

    I've got a '25 Yukon with the 6.2. My father in law had a '24 Sierra with the 6.2 that blew up on him at 24k miles. He said that the possible tie-in to the active fuel management system is that it deactivates some cylinders at highway speeds, but when you step on the gas and they get...

    State 1878 Bourbon

    Did anybody else get the email about State 1878 bourbon? Two ”tiers,” one for $50 and the other $100. Anybody know anything about it, who’s making it, etc.? Wonder if it’s any good, or something Selmon is making in his bathtub. Might be cool to have on my bar either way.

    OT: What did Nike do wrong to cause this?

    Read an article about this earlier this week. Think the gist of it was abandoning retail partners, like others have mentioned. The second factor was a marked pivot towards women, to the exclusion of their historically male customer base (instead of adding women’s soccer/plus-sized athleisure...
