    OT: Book(s) on investing

    They're the generation stuck between pensions and 401(k)s. Many have some of both but not enough of either. A lot of them are going to basically work until they can't anymore, or else face a harsh reality check upon "retirement". Three thousand dollars seems like a lot of money to someone making...

    OT: Book(s) on investing

    Permanent life insurance is a complex financial product and it's true that, like all complicated financial products, it's often missold. Sometimes the people selling it don't really understand what they're selling. Many people (like patdog) erroneously refer to all permanent life insurance as...

    Is Spurrier's accomplishments at SC comparable his Florida run?

    than he ever did at Florida. That's not to say that he's being lazy, he's just transitioned to more of a CEO role. Honestly, I've never really understood why South Carolina seems to have such a tough time.

    What's everyone's opinion on Ellis Johnson as HC?

    If they can get decent talent and play sound, mistake free football they'll be ok though they'll struggle to win the conference. Whereas Ole Miss and State need some special sauce to consistently do well against SEC West teams that play sound, mistake free football as a matter of course and also...

    new ole miss billboard

    And I'm certainly not trolling. All I did was point out that the professor in question prefaced his explanation with a disclaimer, and that his explanation is based on his opinion rather than concrete evidence. As I said, he may be correct and I'm not arguing that he isn't.

    Here's the quote from the video to save you some time: "...really the ultimate origin is unknown, but it seems the best explanation is..." <div>He's saying, "I don't know, but I think..." He may be right.</div>

    new ole miss billboard

    I'm not disputing that his hypothesis is correct (I don't know), but it hasn't had that meaning in a long, long time. Supposedly it started as the name of the yearbook before it was adopted for the school as a whole.

    new ole miss billboard

    <div>For "Ole Miss", it's not entirely clear whether it was meant to reference "Ole Mississippi" or "Ole Miss'us" and sources are conflicting on this point. At any rate, the reference is pretty clearly to the state name in modern parlance.</div><div> </div>I was on campus when Colonel Reb was...
