    Stimulus checks?

    Hard Times will be over before you know it. I am a little older than many posters here. I haven't posted in years, but felt compelled to when I read about your situation. It will get better. You have your son. Sometimes when you don't have the money, is the time to spend it. Spend it on...

    OT: About to buy a new truck and want Ford owners opinion of 3.5L Eco in a 4X4..

    What do you want to do with it? I have never owned an eco boost, but I have owned a couple of 302's (5l). Other than the 300 (4.9l) in line six, the 5 liter is one of my favorite engines. I know it is open for debate, but I would take the 5.0 all day long. In all honesty the gas mileage...

    OT: Birmingham

    In that case check out Tupelo or New Albany. New Albany is booming. I would say Desoto county, but we are about full.

    OT: Birmingham

    My first job out of school was in Huntsville. My daughter was born there. There are many State grads in Huntsville. It sounds like you have a job that requires you to live in Alabama, but can choose a city. There are probably many more State grads in Huntsville, but nobody seems to have a...

    Shooter Jennings Is Coming to the Dawghouse aka State Theatre October 23rd...

    Damn. I'm old but Shooter is Legit. You should come to the show, hang out in the back with your wife beater and scream "freebird".

    ULM is hosting college football's first ever CAMO out

    I agree I like the idea. Like so many other things in life, they failed on the execution. It wouldn't have much to practice for 30 minutes and have someone show them how to hold a shotgun before taping. It is only a regional commercial, but I bet the intended demographic finds t just as...

    Jerrell Powe to be at Backyard Burger across from UMC tomorrow

    y'all need to cool it I have nothing but respect for Powe. He came from a pretty bad situation and worked hard to make something of his life. His own mother kind of sabotaged him when she said he couldn't read. If he couldn't, he certainly learned. It took a couple of years to be eligible...

    Grizzlies fans. What are your feelings on the off season?

    Really like the two draft picks, I absolutely love the ZBO contract. Hate losing Mike, but most anyone would swap Vince Carter for Mike Miller. I like signing Beno, I think he will be more than an adequate backup PG and he is cheap. I think these moves will allow the Grizz to compete for the...

    That Grizz/Mavs game was IN TENTS. On to OKC.

    If the Grizz can get by OKC, I like their chances in the 2nd round Most of the players have playoff experience and it showed tonight. ZBO, Marc, Mike C, Mike M, Tony, and Tashaun looked poised. I thought Ed Davis did ok as well. Nick did sorta ok and Cortney not good. Johnson didn't see the...

    Who is Ronald Cochran?

    He is a big kid with a good attitude that moved to OB from Detroit (IIRC). Only his second year of FB. Has a brother a year younger about the same size that started at tight end. Very rough, but if you know anything about Samsel, all he did on the OL was throw the biggest guys out there, no...

    Something that bothered me at the Hump tonight.

    If seats are available the lower bowl should be open to anyone after the first 10 minutes of the half. Same with baseball after 2 and a half innings. The season ticket holder can always show up late and claim his seat with a ticket stub.

    Better watch out in that Cooper Young area near the LB

    Another bowl game record set by MSU

    Fedex I don't hear them unless it is bad weather and they come in on a different approach, but I can sit out on my patio and watch the lights. They start about 9:30 or 10:00pm landing from the north. They start leaving about 10:00 10:30 heading south. This continues until about 3:00am. From...

    Where to get a hotel in Memphis

    Depending on what you are looking for, East Memphis would be a good choice. Easy access to the LB from either city streets or the interstate. Many of the options listed in the dining thread are in East Memphis. Within a 5 to 10 block area around Clark Tower your will find really good...

    Fears eased Grizz fans?

    Tony was out too. 4-0 for Cali is good. Pete said it hasn't been done by any team since '95.
