Sometimes he just says shite to say shite.

My oldest daughter had a subdural hematoma - brain bleed - when she was eight. Fell on her bike in front of the house. I was out running and coming up the road to finish when I saw my wife carrying her across the yard.

Took her to our local ER to be checked out. They did a concussion check and sent us home with instructions to watch her. She couldn’t walk. Slurring her words. I was pissed. We called our pediatrician and he said bring her to (the bigger hospital) about 20 minutes away and he would meet us.

Long story short she was airlifted to Huntsville and had to have a craniotomy. Didn’t know if she would live or die but the neurosurgeon and his team saved her life. Dr. Joel Pickett, Huntsville AL. He sat us down and asked us if she was wearing a helmet. I looked down and sheepishly said no.

She had a full recovery and is now 34, married with one son.

Don’t let your kids ride bicycles, ATVs or motorcycles without a helmet. You may disagree but really don’t let them ride street bikes at all.

College freshman girl’s essay on palace intrigue. All the yummy scuttlebutt and name dropping. :rolleyes:

34-24. :doublebird:

except Indiana didn’t go 16-0 by “buying a roster of kids chasing a bag”

i’m almost 100% certain that Bama’s CFP roster cost them significantly more than Indiana’s did

Cignetti is a good coach but spending $15-20 million absolutely contributed to their run last year. They hadn’t done shite in their entire existence. The portal, NIL and revenue sharing comes along and boom.

He left Washington to go to the one school that has a better chance of winnning a championship than anyone. How the hell did he not take the easier path?

You think it’s easy following Nick Saban, the GOAT college football coach? The expectations and work load are ridiculous. He could have gone 9-3, 8-4 most years at UW and kept his job.

I was born in 1965. I grew up smack in the middle of the 70s. The video was funny and accurate but forgot to mention the greatest music ever produced (at least the rock/pop variety). I’m not saying no other great music has been made before or since, but nothing can touch that decade.

He doesn’t have to do shite. He’s doing his job the best as he thinks. If the BOT doesn’t like what he’s doing with hires and contracts, they can fire him.

have a buddy who works for Edward Jones and I think they still require their new guys to knock on a certain amount of doors when they first start. I know he had to do it when he first started. I guess it's sort of a weeding out process they go through to see how seriously they want the job since it was one of the first things they told him he would have to do following all of their training in St. Louis.

This is mostly correct. I’m in financial services, life insurance, employee benefits, tax-saving plans, etc. Depends on the market but you HAVE to make contact with people somehow.

If you’re working with wealthy people, business owners, most don’t want you knocking on the door of their house. Those appointments are made differently. I work with small to medium size companies and city and county governments. It’s mostly blue and gray collar.

So much is done digitally today. Signatures, everything. We sell as much insurance sitting at a computer as we used to do making in-person sales calls all day. Don’t even have to see them.

We fired our 4 loss coach, you extended yours. Congratulations.

Because he works his arse off and the trajectory with NIL and the portal for Alabama look good. Recruiting was #2 this cycle. Kept our 5-star QB.

BK was a lazy, disconnected a-hole with a fake Cajun accent who lost twice to DeBoer by a combined score of 62-22.
