Your current RB coach led a room where we moved a slot WR to RB rather than play a RB currently in the NFL with the playoffs on the line. That slot WR ran for 2 yards per carry and lost a fumble as Ole Miss lost to Florida and was eliminated from playoff contention in 2024. The perfectly healthy NFL RB got 0 carries in that game but ran for 100+ the next week in the Egg Bowl. He also had no ability to reign in Quinshon Judkins.

i'd rather him than last year's rb coach.
for the last few years, my opinion has been:
-he's kind of an arse
-he's a really good coach
-he's yet to win anything of note in a power conference
nice pickup. lsu felt really good for much of his recruitment, but the asking price moved away from us.

he and davion jones will be a couple of good grabs.

The koobideh sausage at Redbird is great also.
Pit Room is the only place I'll order a chicken taco.

You're as bad as the worst of the LSU fanbase. Constantly whining about the admin's lack of trolling enforcement in TAMU threads while also constantly trolling every LSU and UT thread like a whiny little brother.

Truth will have big lines even during the week, but it's generally manageable.

As mentioned, Truth sides & desserts are standout. You'll find good meat at any of them. Get the carrot cake if you make it to Truth.

You can't go wrong with either as they're both really good.

Weekday or weekend? If weekend, I'd be tempted to do one of Pit Room, J-Bar-M, or Henderson & Kane with a young one. The line at Truth will take a while on a weekend.
"Penalized" lol. It's been this way since the dawn of time.

Recruiting kids that actually get to campus is the skill, not landing a bunch of PG top 100 kids that are destined for pro ball. Jay has done a pretty good job of actually getting some to campus though.
nice pickup. rating is a bit all over the place, but a solid player at a school you want to keep tethered to. one of the schools where having frank helps some even in the NIL world.

Those are more gentrified than gentrifying. Some of the streets in GOOF are hideous now with the gargantuan, ugly new builds.

Another one bites the dust

Been around since 2008, Southern Star clocking out 28 June 2026

Lol no

This statement holds true for all in past / present / future where inflation is >0%.

Obviously. I'm talking more to ROI < inflation or lower ROI / inflation scenarios relative to the last 50 years.

I asked what challenges exist that make saving unwise. I’m genuinely trying to understand.
I'm only speaking for myself & not Bottomland. I doubt he meant unwise in the literal fact that a dollar today will be worth less than a dollar tomorrow, but more in the fact that a dollar invested today very well will provide less of a marginal financial benefit later in life for the current generation of young investors than it would have for the 40+ crowd.

I say this as a 34 year old that invests way more than is normal and will likely retire early, so I'm not living the philosophy as I'm a high earner and do not have expensive tastes.

True Anomaly was the only one putting out decent beer, and they got taken out more by the expansion of I-69 than economics.

A lot of the brewery closures are just finally right sizing the market. Not unlike a lot of places, we had way too many of them. The brick & mortars that aren't consistently crowded and those that don't move retail volume will fold.
I haven't had their margherita as it's not the least bit representative. I don't mind hot honey, but I don't need it on literally everything.

Hit Sofia or Coastline for margherita. There's not a better deal in town than the $10 Sofia and Coastline margherita pizzas during happy hour.
I'm not offshore, but Coastline, Nonnos, Gypsy Poet, and Tiny Champions are my favorites. Tailspin & Pizzana are really good for a few nontraditional pies. Home Slice is by far the best (and really only decent) by the slice NY pizza.
