We have enough on the OLine/RBs that Levis just needs to be Mike Hartline-ish and we can be quite a sleeper.

Difference being, this kid can throw it 25 yards further than Hartline.

Have a friend who is likely walking away from a $90k/year job managing a fitness center because she refuses to get vaxxed. Her current backup plan is to make much less than half that.

Unreal.

- Anecdotally - I’ve found the cause to be mostly young, dumb, “religious” women whose first names are spelled in an atypical and stupid manner.

- I sometimes wonder just how far away I am from wearing novelty dad gear - 20 years? 10 years? Next year?

- A tad humid but otherwise I’ll take the last few days all/air.

- Booked for 10 days in San Francisco for Christmas. Would prefer being home but will be nice seeing my niece and daughter together.

At this point, the unvaccinated are basically holding the rest of the country hostage. Their political beliefs are more important to them than their families, friends, coworkers, and their country. Politicians control their brains. Common sense isn’t even an option.

-Excited to see the Levis era but will temper expectations. Was pulling for Gatewood because I believe in putting in your time but if you don’t win, you don’t win. I just want the best option out there. I wish Joey would stay this year because in the SEC, you need a proven backup but I can’t fault him for exploring options. I wish him the best.

-Fiancé tested positive for Covid yesterday. High fever, slight cough, and very tired. Otherwise so far so good. Has to quarantine for 10 days which means she’s good to get out on the 25th. Our wedding is on the 28th and leave out for Dominican on the 29th. Let’s hope everything works out. I just hope things don’t get worse due to her being at risk because of having stage three thyroid cancer when she was 18. Alternating Motrin and Tylenol, plenty of fluids, and taking zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C every day. Where I have been vaxed, they said I can resume normal but watch for symptoms. So far so good for me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

-Afghanistan situation is a mess. Will refrain from opinions until I get to watch some more on the situation. Sounds like a **** show though.

Re: Afghanistan... If you're holding onto the outside of a plane that's taking off you're either:

a) So terrified of getting captured, tortured and killed by the Taliban that you'll try anything
b) A freaking moron

Given that I saw dudes cheesing for the camera as they ran along with it - meaning not particularly scared, I think that some of those people are just plain dumb.

I hope it ain’t Stoops as the last time I had this much optimism for an athletic honkey QB was this Quiddich playing mofo.

Today I was in tears thinking about the whole “War on Terror” and the damage it has caused on all sides.

I thought about my friends who I served with who have suffered from PTSD, addiction, homelessness, difficulty managing any type of healthy relationship with their loved ones, and suicide...

Then I thought how we also f*cked up two 3rd world countries and how many decent families we probably f*cked up as well and caused more problems.

Was what we did over there honorable? Did we accomplish anything? Was it worth it? Why do I still care about this and dream about it?

Trying to process all of these thoughts throughout the day was pretty hard.

That’s what happens when you’re not allowed to really take a country anymore. Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq and now Afghanistan is the new way and it’s expensive in every facet and the end result doesn’t change anything. Everyone knows it and just waited for us to do it again. But hey, it’s only taxpayers money and lives so they’ll continue this tradition.

Jcrow, I deeply appreciate your service and the service of everyone who has put their lives on the line for our country.

Yes, what you did mattered. It was important. You helped ensure that what happened on 9/11 hasn’t happened again to this point.

Hopefully there is a plan way above all our pay grades to continue to ensure that it doesn’t again.

I hope you find peace and please reach out if you need to talk to someone. I always enjoy your posts and I look forward to many more. 🙂

We lost almost 3000 people on 9/11/2001.

We’ve lost that plus thousands more young men and women over there trying to avenge those nearly 3000 deaths.

For the most part we are talking about dudes living in shacks and caves and we have by far the biggest military budget on the planet

Thank you for your service jcrow.

I have buddies serving in infantry right now and there’s a strong likelihood they will be shot at by taliban in the next few years using guns made in Connecticut

Don't let the failures of our leaders diminish what you all did for us. Thank you.

Tuesday (is it only Tuesday?) shitdos:

- 6:30 am email about getting my biggest sale EVAH! TBF, if you have it and they need it makes the gig pretty easy from a selling standpoint these days.

- Sea World this weekend. Never been but want to go back. It was nothing like I expected it to be. The roller coasters are awesome. The sea lions and whales (I can look past the captivity and fake virtue of the trainers wearing masks for the animals) and enjoy the show. They have a beer festival going on in the park so was drinking/eating for 9 hours while watching the post-covid apocalypse unfold in over-stretched yoga pants seeking out hamburgers and yelling at kids. It was all great!

- Not really seeing the upgrade in politicians we were promised by many. Wish people would realize how badly identity politics are ruining us. Many things can be true. We should have never been in Afghanistan for 20 years. If we were going there, we should have had a clear goal and exit strategy. We also could have planned our exit better. Hopefully our troops never have to deploy to that ******** again, those we lost RIP and those that came home can get the help and support they need.

- Piggy-back on that. Since we have screwed labor up so bad, working out a deal with the connections my brother made in placing former military in civilian jobs. More companies than ever are realizing it's a great labor pool and a lot less entitlement from those that have served.

- Stopping short of denying medical service. I'm actually quite appalled at the thought. Doesn't mean I don't hope people make better decisions but not the precedence I want to see set after living through some of the most asinine government mandates man could have thought up that are still ongoing.

- Had to skip lawn care this weekend. My pup jumped about 2 feet back last night when a foot long strand of grass popped up after he stepped on it and grazed his dog hog. That alone will make the extra 30 mins to cut it this Sat worth it.

- Ordered the new Samsung flip phone. Never quite got over having to give up my Razr.

- Wife and I binged Ted Lasso the last couple nights. Can't get enough of it. Roy is my favorite character by a lot. Not sure I identify with a character more than I do with his.

- Back to the grind.

- The hardest thing about being President has to be the knowledge that some decisions will undoubtedly put the lives of American men and women in direct risk. Which makes it all the more important to get those decisions right, on the front AND back end. Rack SAE, Anth and others. Thanks, jcrow.

- I like Tim Tebow fine, but I'm glad this comeback appears to be coming to an abrupt end. The guy just looked lost out there, like Taylor Wyndham had just taken a few more shots at him.

- Friend lives in New Zealand. They're now on a nation-wide lockdown because of ONE single COVID case. One. ONE. Two of our worst addictions have come to light during this whole thing....our addiction to fear porn (hence the overly negative and frequently incorrect media coverage), and our addiction to zero risk (hence some people's obsession with masks/lockdowns).

- The Oakland A's green/yellow road uniforms really pop.

- I hate iPhone updates. Thanks for removing every single podcast episode I had recorded, Steve.

- There should be some basic social media rules for basketball/football recruits. You can't produce a commitment video unless you're at least a 4-star. Your commitment post cannot include the phrase "With that being said". And you have to accurately state the name of the school you're committing to (it's not "The University of Louisiana State").

- Extra Toasty Cheez-its are for weirdos.

Seems like ******** we aren’t ranked in the AP poll. Definite ******** we didn’t even get any votes.

Hope these guys take it personally.
We'd beat the **** out of Coastal Carolina and Louisiana Lafayette. FFS, how the hell are these clowns ranked? Last year they finished ranked 12th with this schedule:

  • Kansas 38-23
  • Campbell 43-21
  • Arkansas State 52-23
  • Louisiana 30-27
  • Georgia Southern 28-14
  • Georgia State 51-0
  • South Alabama 23-6
  • App State 34-23
  • Texas State 49-14
  • BYU 22-17
  • Troy 42-38 (Troy finished 5-6)
  • Liberty 34-37 (Loss)

I get us not receiving any votes. We were 5-6, lost a bunch of guys to the NFL, replaced half our coaching staff. New offense, new QB, thin at receiver, etc.

Tons and tons of questions about this team, but IMO Piglet has addressed every single one of them. Just gonna have to prove that his solutions work before we get any recognition. I mean I think we can win 9 or 10, but I don't expect national media guy to think that.

Somehow I missed Indiana being good. When did that happen? I scoffed at them being ranked 17, but looked at last year's schedule and they were 6-2 with wins over #7 Penn State, #23 Michigan, #14 Wisconsin, and lost to Ohio State by a TD.
