I used to live right next to the CDC. Our power never went out.
The downside was that there was probably a nuclear weapon aimed at us in case the zombie apocalypse virus ever got out of the lab.

I bet if you told the Pirates before the season that heading into June they would have the 4th best run differential in all of MLB in games where Skenes didn't pitch they would have popped champagne corks. Instead they're in last place.

Did they "save" their #1 for later because this was a gimme? If so, let this be a lesson to all those who advocate for throwing your #3 guy against a "weak" opponent and saving your stud for later. May not be no later.
Auburn pitched their ace. So the lesson doesn't apply.
We also have four very good starting pitchers - a rare luxury - so we don't need to fiddle with rotation matchups. Obvioulsy we should have thrown someone else today.

It can if you do a reverse mortgage. Not saying that's sound financial planning but beggars can't be chosers.

Were people in the 70s, 80s, 90s way more set for retirement than now?
They lived frugally and saved. They paid off their house as soon as they could. They didn't buy new stuff if the old stuff still worked.
It was also common for older generations to be partially supported by their community and family.
My grandmother lived to be 95-96 and she was working poor her whole life. But she had 4 kids, three of whom still lived near her. They would divide up the tasks of taking care of her. One would pay bills, one would take her to the doctor, one would fix things. She also had people from her church that would bring her food and stuff. Neighbors would check in on her, etc.
People nowadays don't seem to have those social bonds that pay dividends when you need help.

Tales of the Golden Monkey - show set in the Pacific Islands in the late 30s. It was made to capitalize on the Indiana Jones craze of the early 80s.

One of the things i will never understand is how any parent can hurt or kill their children
The most sympathetic answer would be in their crazy state of mind they don't think their children can survive without them.
The most evil answer is they want to hurt their spouse in the worst way possible and that tops anyone's list.

Top 8 seed and a chance to make that change.
Top 8 seed is probable but not a given. RPI is good but there's a cluster of teams in the 7-10 range and Bama hasn't been ranked that high in the polls all season. Florida State and S. Miss have been ranked ahead of them all year and both have more recent pedigree. You did go 3-1 against Florida but they have more Q1+Q2 wins.
re: A Tiger Rant poster believes LSU should get auto bid into regional.....

Now, if like this year the champ would otherwise miss the tourney, they should be slotted as the 4-seed in the 1 overall regional.
Yeah, no shite Sherlock. The 4 seed in the #1 regional is always some tiny automatic qualifier school with an RPI in the 250s who somehow got lucky in the MEAC tournament. Of course LSU and their multi-million dollar roster is better. So are 100 other teams.
But how the HELL is this fair to UCLA or any team that earns the #1 seed?
re: Pretty good tweet in defense of Arkansas and the problem with RPI.....
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/25/26 at 10:18 am to koreandawg
Southern Cal was #9 in RPI and they're not hosting.
I haven't done a deep dive on all of the teams resumes because it's pointless. In every sport, every year, there's always a bridesmaid - a bubble team that just misses some arbitrary cutoff. There's always a complaint. There's always a debate. It's baked into the cake of selection.
In a weird way this is like a human stock market. Investors pick poor people they think are going to hit it big and buy an ownership stake in that person. The poor person gets an infusion of capital to grow but the downside is the buyer now had permanent shareholder rights to the profits. But there's risk baked in - for every Tatis there are probably a dozen "stocks" who never make it.
Something similar has been going on in the music industry for a long time. Garage bands need money so they can eat, buy equipment, record demos, book studio time, etc. Then one night a Col. Tom Parker type walks into the grimey club and hears them play. The Black Crowes signed one of the deals on a bar napkin and a court upheld it.

I am gutted for Arkansas but they’re gonna wreck someone’s shite as a two seed.
I think they'll end up getting a slightly better path to Omaha.
I know you want to host but they would have likely had Oregon St at home then UCLA in Los Angeles. That's a tough draw. Now they will likely go through Lawrence, Kansas and Chapell Hill. I would pick option 2 in their shoes and let Miss St have option 1.

No program in the country is equal to Alabama. They are #1. It's literally an impossible barrier to clear.

re: Was Saban truly better than Bear?
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/22/26 at 11:49 pm to prplhze2000
The SEC was much better and deeper during Saban's tenure. That's indisputable.
But it's not really fair to compare eras. We don't know what Bear would have done against more SEC games, an SECCG, a playoff, etc. because it was a different sport back then.
Also, to give that old bastard his due, college football changed a lot during his tenure and he always adapted - one platoon football, the wishbone, the passing game, integration. He never fussed. Whatever the latest change was, he simply said "fine, I'll beat your arse that way if you want." Saban usually won but he also whined and ultimately quit.

Out of curiosity, has the SECT Champ been successful making Omaha and/or winning the NC over the last 10-20 years?
