If it's par 72, it means a scratch golfer can expect to shoot par.
Not exactly. A scratch golfer can expect to shoot 72 if he’s playing well and shoots his handicap (which is the average of your best 8/20 rounds).

A scratch golfer would “average” about a 75 across the board.
I tried the CS and didn’t like it. It was too soft and I felt like with iron shots, it just fell out of the sky quicker. I don’t know, I never hit it with a track man but it was noticeably shorter.

We're now at the same price we were before EPA approval. Wild.

I remain hopeful, but my confidence is definitely wavering. Might just be the ever-declining stock price.

I hope Jax is correct obviously, but one thing I've seen quite a bit on Reddit is that announcements and the stock price would have no effect on the exit tax. I don't know how true it is, but that seems to be the consensus thought over there, which is even more concerning that they haven't announced anything.

Now maybe Jay Taylor is talking about something else. I haven't looked into it, but what scenario is he referring to about this screwing over Canadian shareholders?

The train is off the tracks now... :banghead:

I'm sure the vote will get us back up, but the ceiling looks a lot lower. If we get a huge 50% bounce in October, that only brings us back to $4.

Good Lord, how low is the floor here?

This is hard to watch. I’m only barely in the green still.

He'll get a .220 OF hitter and a mediocre starter. Again
Yep, I said the same after the AS break. His moves the last few years, and the fact that he still has a job, shows we are not a serious organization.

I guess as long as they are making money, it's no concern.

Our starters are stacked to win Games 2 and 3
How? Can they hit too?
WTF Drake? You're a catcher! :lol:
You'll catch some shite for the opponents, but it's obviously impressive or more teams would've done it (and a lot of teams play a soft schedule in the first month).

Unfortunately, Bama quietly looks really good.
I schedule a work trip in the area around game 3 and have a ticket, so I'm selfishly hoping we get there :cheers:

It really helps not seeing Wheeler this series but I think the lack of offense will catch up to us unfortunately. I don't have a good feeling at all.

Mine as well :cheers:

I saw there were around 12.5M shares shorted as of 9-15-26, which is fairly close to the record date.

Those are the only votes that would be against redomicile, right? Out of 350M shares that were not being shorted, a huge percentage could sit out of the vote and this would still easily pass the 2/3 threshold.

Virtually no chance the vote fails, right?

What possible reason do I have to lie about Lane as a recruiter? We just beat him.
lol, you keep changing the subject - what does one have to do with the other?

I simply asked what the basis is for the claim of an Ole Miss fan in this thread about how Lane doesn't recruit. That's it. Then you responded about how it's so obviously true and everyone knows it. As an LSU fan, that would be concerning if true, which is why I asked.

I'm glad that it appears to be an unsubstantiated claim that never started until about 10 months ago. Carry on. :cheers:
Thank you :cheers:

What I got from that was: your fellow fan makes a claim, and can provide no examples. When asked for examples, you say to go find it myself (no thanks, I didn't make the claim). Not only that, but when asked for mere examples of the jilted lover making these same claims before she was left, there are also none.

But not because you weren't thinking them - you just didn't voice them.

Don't worry, I 100% believe you, my friend

*you* haven’t seen
Correct. But unless I see a bunch of commentary from Ole Miss fans about his lack of recruiting before he left you, pardon me for taking it with a grain of salt...

quote:

But the common misconception is that he was the ONLY person in the building who knew how to do that. There are others and most of them stayed.
OK? This was all started by a comment about how Lane doesn't recruit, and I just asked for examples of it. You're instead telling me about how much Ole Miss's current staff also recruits. Again....OK?
quote:

And he did not go out and recruit. He did act as the closer and was really good at that when players were ready to commit already, but just wanted to meet him
And maybe that's the case. I just haven't seen that said much until after he left Ole Miss.
quote:

If he wins against the Gators, it would be his 6th-ranked win in only 8 games coached
Wasn't he 2-1 last year and is 3-0 this year, having beaten 4 ranked teams in the process? Impressive but getting to play 5 ranked teams in your first 6 games isn't very common. Kudos to him on winning 4 of them, no doubt.

I think he could be a very good coach, and I hope he is. He's from LA and seems like a cool dude. I think most rational people would want to wait and see how he does without the best player in CFB playing quarterback.
quote:

You think Lane recruits?
It appears he does. :dunno:

Do you have some validated examples of him not recruiting that were raised by Ole Miss fans prior to November 2025?

6 months after I had shoulder surgery, I started playing again. I had to finish with a really abbreviated follow-thru, like old man Arnold Palmer.

Couldn't hit a driver more than 240 or so but it was dead straight every time and my scores did not suffer.

:lol: well that is a take. Why don't you go back and count the number of Kiffin threads started by LSU fans vs. non-LSU fans over the last 11 months...
