So I caught the end of a Stuart Varney segment this morning where the tax expert was saying that millions of middle to upper middle class that estimated their taxes in 2025 will be ecstatic with the amount of refund (or lack of final IRS owed payment on 4/15) that they will receive. But that's all I caught from the show. Does anyone know what Stuart and the guest were referencing?

Now that he will have the confidence of Kiffin jumping out to a Shock-n-Awe 1st quarter with the goal of going up 2 scores. That will allow Baker to take more chances and dial up those exotic zero coverage blitzes and NFL level simulated pressure we saw against Clemson. As the season progressed an our Offense got more anemic, Baker was handcuffed to play more of a base.

This could get really interesting really fast with Baker and Kiffin being a perfect marriage of styles.

I think Kiffin is fully aware that LSU was in self preservation mode in 2021 fighting off those Title IX hit piece reports in Biden's first year in office where the entire world went mad with #MeeToo, BLM and Cancel Culture.

LSU was forced to hire a super safe play in 2021. Times have changed, Lane has turned around his public image and has gotten even better over the last 4 years. His offense use to be about 1 full quarter ahead of defensive coordinators playing catchup and making adjustments in the 2nd Q and halftime. Now his offense and scheme are 3 1/2 quarters ahead of a DC trying to make adjustments. By that point it's too late.

This blows my mind. I've watched Haynes King play at least 7 games in the last 2 seasons and the guy is a freaking stud. High IQ, can absolutely run, tough as nails, can easily go scan through progressions while climbing the pocket, and knows how to back shoulder and also throw his guys open. So this is a shock when AI told me he's probably going undrafted:

*AI Overview

"Haynes King is projected as a borderline draft pick, likely a late-round selection (Day 3, potentially the seventh round) or an undrafted free agent (UDFA) in the 2026 NFL Draft. His physical style, toughness, and football IQ are considered strong assets, but scouts have concerns about his accuracy on short passes and durability."

Does this seem right to anyone else that has followed Haynes' games at GT?

Not really because if you were around BR and LSU in the early to mid 90's, you would know that Cane's actually stole this idea from a chicken drive-thru hut on Lee. I would argue that place was on par with Cane's, or better if consumed after 2am.

For the life of me I can't remember the name, but Todd 100% stole the concept with a targeted college students' menu only of tenders, fries, toast, sauce and drink.

ETA: My apologies for bursting the Cane's lure and bubble. IYKYK

Wasn't there a huge music store right next door to Photon, or did that come after?

:lol: This IOU receipt here is for a Lamborghini, you might want to hold onto that one.

Every damn star, asteroid, comet, 3I Atlas spaceship and anything else in the Milky Way is aligning for 2026 to be a historic moon launch. Factories coming back online, AI buildout, Data centers, jobs, Too Late Powell gone in May, and a plethora of other shite.

My advice is just hold the line baws! I've probably lost $50k or more since this govt shutdown bullshite and what's turning out to be a choppy ugly Q4, but I think brighter days are just around the corner. Wouldn't surprise me if the new FOMC chair in May calls for an emergency meeting at lowers a full 100 bps and housing starts go crazy. Hold diamond bros!
