UGA is a better job then Hail State with a truckload of talent in your own backyard plus the portal

While Georgia is loaded with high school talent, baseball recruiting is truly a national thing for top programs and UGA's program is not on MSU's level, by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, Athens is amazing and Wes may think it's a sleeping giant he wants to build up over the course of a decade before retiring, but it's not MSU baseball.

ETA:

My personal opinion is Wes Johnson ends up back in MLB eventually.

Shaduer is Deion. They're the same person.

Difference being that Deion wasn't raised rich. He had a chip on his shoulder and didn't have a fall back option of rich daddy if sports didn't work out.

Shedeur also isn't a generational athlete/talent. Shedeur has all of Deion's bad qualities and few of the good. :lol:

re: What is happening to my magnolia tree?

Posted by CatfishJohn on 4/25/25 at 11:36 am

With an established magnolia it's really hard to over fertilize with hollytone. It's slow release and organic. I have 6 established magnolias and use three bags per tree twice a year. So 36 bags :lol: They respond really well to it after brutal Tennessee winters with our hard freezes which turns into boggy soil after the melt and early Spring/late winter rains.

It can hurt the grass along the drip line a bit, but I don't have much because of the trees themselves.

This thread misspelling Deion constantly is also cracking me up.

re: The problem is Deion not Shedur

Shedeur isn’t that good against real competition, is extremely entitled, and seems like a poor teammate. This all blowing up in his face is cracking me up.

One thing that did change my mind about a player last night was Cam Ward’s parents. Seem like awesome, hard working, humble people and that makes me think he’ll be better than I thought. His body language has turned me off in the past, but so has Jayden’s and he is a very hard worker and good teammate. Might be like that.

Shedeur is Deion, but raised extremely spoiled, and without the generational talent to back it up.

Throw a lot of hollytone around the drip line just to make sure it has nutrients

Maybe over watering?

Can turn leaves yellow and they lose their healthy look.

Amazing how you can be the CEO of Hooters and totally miss the whole reason the franchise started and became successful.

Feels like Bud Light hiring a trans person for their advertisements.

Just a complete miss that could destroy the brand.

The world is full of family friendly restaurants with much better food. Victoria Secret switched their model to be more inclusive, sales plummeted and the brand was basically ruined. This will end in the same way for Hooters.

100%

While I don't mind Hooters wings, them going family friendly removes the thing that makes them unique. They'll just become Buffalo Wild Wings with fewer TVs, and that brand is in the toilet.

Dumbest fricking idea I've read in a bit. Go the other direction. Lean into the babes serving food, improve the menu by focusing on some key strengths and being consistent across locations, add beer options, and give us some great specials.

ETA:

Now I'm craving Hooters
