It's 105* here still, but damn there's nothing better than a coffee on the back patio with Gameday on making the kids pancakes and eggs on the blackstone and then the subsequent bourbon and beer on with dinner as the sun goes down the eddison lights come on and the Tigers kickoff. We're close!!
This was UGA's mission for a few years as well as they were making their ascent. They did the same thing at ND.
They absolutely took over until the game started. That stadium was as red as it was purple.
I'm at $1M, wife is at $500k. Never been about getting rich if something happened, but giving them enough to survive if something did with me as the sole provider.

My life insurance ACH is the best money I spend every month.
I do agree as well. Nike is Nike. And what's old becomes new again. I think it may take another decade or so, but as long as they keep sponsoring the most elite of the elite and fund the major leagues, the greatest athletes in the world will always have the swoosh.

That was always their best marketing plan. Let elite athletes do what they do wearing the swoosh and leverage that to the public. It's the later part they've had a hard time with since.
It feels like it has to. I know multiple multi-generation tailgates at LSU that are simply no more because the older generation aged out and the next generation in their late 20's-late 30's was not interested in taking the baton. Hard to be excited about hosting a 40 person tailgate and all that entails when you can't afford to buy your first home until your 35 years old.

It feels like college sports from a booster/season ticket holder standpoint is hanging on by the Boomers and some Gen Xers. They are the only ones who can afford the shakedown.

We were at a bar in uptown Dallas and I’ve never seen a true 50/50 split crowd at a bar that night.

It was insane in the 4th quarter and there were about 3 fights simultaneously when he caught that.

People forget a few plays earlier the Texas S Blake Gideon dropped a bread basket right between the numbers interception. He’s never lived that down.

Felt like a mosh pit. I miss those days


2 weeks after this game an undefeated Texas Tech went to Norman for a night game at OU. I went with a buddy on a freezing cold Oklahoma night. There was so much hype around the game and OU absolutely dominated them. OU DB's and linebackers were hit sticking Texas Tech receivers all night. A bloodbath that ended the TTU / Graham Harrell hype that year.

I disagree. This game was a dud based on all the hype. OSU was up 28-14 at halftime and for most of the game had a 2 score lead. OSU held serve on every MICH counterpunch and kept them at arms length all day. The score was never as close as it seemed and OSU was never in jeopardy of losing that game.
USC vs Texas Rose Bowl
USC vs Notre Dame 2006
I'm a Nike shareholder and buy 1 share every other week since 2017. It hasn't been fun in recent years.

I said this a long time ago that they should have gone the Coca Cola/Mondalez approach and started buying up smaller incumbent brands before they did their damage. No one competitor is going to kill you, but it sort of becomes death by a thousand paper cuts. ON Cloud, Vuori, Legends, Burlebo, Lulu, Hoka, the list goes on. Go to a PTA meeting at a private school. Nobody in there is wearing Nike. 10 years ago, the whole building was.

Nike has a ton of nostalgia to play with here, but nostalgia doesn't produce. I'm always a Nike optimist and will be until/if they start losing licensing deals (NBA, NFL, MLB, Blue Blood NCAA).

It doesn't help that you can buy Nike's for 50% off MSRP at every Ross and Burlington in the country. That's never a good sign.
It would be very simply.

"Hey, this all went way too far. I let my representation handle something I should have handled personally. I don't think this accurately reflects how I feel about my time at LSU or vice versa. Look forward to moving past this and getting this season underway. Geaux Tigers!".

Now all of those things have to be true and this is an NFL QB ego we are talking about.

We've been underwhelming at RB all of Kelly's tenure. His game against SC was a lone bright spot and probably came with too much credit. Imagine these other guys have to be more of what were used to seeing.
Boomers, the most selfish people you'll ever meet with the biggest silver spoon ever delivered.
They're just a BOA constrictor.

Driving outside of the cities is no problem. Driving in inner-Paris, no thank you.

I drove from Starsbourg all throughout the Christmas villages in France and into Switzerland. It was awesome.
This is a good one. 2017. That was a super weird game. It's like Auburn's engine completely stalled.

I was so pissed after UT 2010 I didn't go on my trip to the UF 2010 game. Then I was so pissed after that game despite the win. That 2010 year was Les' coming out party as a moron. Somehow still went 11-2. That team won in spite of the ball coach.
2024 Bama.

I was able to go down on the field as a part of the 100 years of Tiger Stadium.

Woke up Saturday AM after a few dinner and drinks with a scratch throat and told my wife, this isn't good. Was progressively worse throughout the day. Went down on the field. Took all I had just to stay upright. Sat in the West bleachers shivering and sick as a dog. Game didn't help. What a dud.
Points 2 and 3 have been my life for the last 5 years. Would you be open to me reaching out. Lsutigerz2001@gmail.com

Many days where I want to say frick everything and move to a small, remote island. Also, the business will own you. It's just the nature of the beast.
The business already owns me as a founding employee. I just do it for someone else. You don't take a business from $0 - $25M revenue as the lead hunter (lead as in 70% responsible for every dollar in) without being all consumed. Hence the underpaid comment.

FatBastard and Squatch, very little overhead on the consulting side. I'm an expense item to the clients for a short amount of time. Very quickly they'll discover savings and expertise they don't currently have. I know this because I do this already as their vendor. I'm just offering the service now. Won't be doing it on the purely consulting side.
