Sucks getting tickets is impossible. If we make it to Supers I bet we have more fans in Atlanta than Georgia Tech has.

It's kinda dumb.

Did they send you to college?


No. I joined the military and they covered it. Not given a dime for school.

Did they put food on the table, roof over your head, etc.? Are you a productive member of society? If so, you Momma and Daddy did their job at least in terms of providing for you.


Yes and I'm thankful for that. That's a different point than the one I'm making. They truly have zero idea how the world operates today. Job/interview wise, costs of things.
It's impossible get through to boomers. They are completely disconnected from reality.

Should hear them tell grandkids about getting a job. "You need to wear a nice suit and go around handing out your resume." They actually believe this shite because they did it in the 70's/80's

They have zero idea what child care costs are, costs to really anything that younger generations have. My folks went to college for a flat rate of about $400 a semester. Inflation adjusted, that's $3,100.

:lol:
We have almost eclipsed the mountain. It's time to take a few more steps and make it over.

I think the $$$ will be too much for the NCAA to ignore. If we are a 2 seed, whoever is hosting us will be absolutely pissed by the draw.

Church isn't the most exciting place to be. While rude, I understand it.

I think shitty and overpriced inventory is building up but nicer houses are still selling very quickly.


Indeed. High end houses are where there's more buyers with lots of equity and money. Starter homes and mid range homes are suffering.

Inventory is building up and it's shifted more to a buyers market in many areas of the country.

Think this will lead to downward pressure in the stock market.
Man, we gotta get over the hump.

They also use an overseas call center. Last time I tried to place an order the rep stumbled over the delivery address and repeatedly butchered it. I couldn't trust them to get it to the right place so I hung up. That has to be a drag on their revenue.


Ever used their app?

Why is Domino's down so much? I feel like they dominate the app/order pizza throughout the country.

Thinking about starting a position on it.
No. I've not added it and won't. Families who do have weak children well into adulthood.
I want them to have a little skin in the game. I'm saving but not a ton a month. $275 for my oldest, about 42k in that account. Will probably grow to about 60-70 by the time they start their freshman year.

My other two, started them earlier with $150 a month. About 25k in those.

I got exactly $0 from my parents so it's important they get something. Going to college broke completely sucks.

They can go where they want but if they want to go somewhere crazy on cost, they can finance that if that's what they want.
Taylen Green is better so this will be hilarious when he's starting.

on the tennis thing, why does that sport cost so much??



Recruiting is almost all in Europe.
It's a scam, they are looking to get WELL under market value. Like 50% of value off.

I agree if we make it there, I could see us going 0-2 in regional play.

I'll be stunned if we win a regional.

Gut feel, I think we'll be traveling and a 2 seed.
