I have an older 2018 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 6 speed transmission. About to hit 140k miles with no issues at all. Been a great vehicle and taken it on many long road trips with the fam. I take really good care of it.

The newer ones with the 10 speed scare me and I’ll probably just keep mine for a while. I have thought about just trading it in and getting a 21 LX570 with the old Toyota V8. Those are true indestructible beasts.

We are trading in my wife’s mid size SUV in the next couple months for a Honda odyssey as we are having baby #2 and she’s excited. Sliding doors with young kids is nice and easier unloading/loading with plenty of room

What's the plain steak joint in Columbus? I've had good meals there.


You might be thinking of old hickory. Little steak shack off hwy 45 that serves only filet, ribeye, or strip served with baked potato or salad. I grew up in Columbus but haven’t been there in years.
6 of my great x3 grandfathers fought for the confederacy. 4 in cavalry units and 2 infantry. My mothers side of the family was still in Ireland, England and Finland at the time and immigrated in early 1900’s

Surname gggrandfather served in 1st Mississippi Cavalry under Johnston, Hood and then Forrest. His grandfather (ulster Scot immigrant) served in the American Revolution in South Carolina under Thomas Sumter also known as the fighting gamecock. Proud to have descended from old stock patriot

My surname ancestors who fought in the revolution, war of 1812 and civil war are buried in Noxubee county Mississippi which is where my lineage lived for over 120 years

The others were in a few different MS units, 1 in Louisiana and another in an Alabama unit.

Just finished episode 6. Damn. Knew something was with it when Bella mentioned her brother died in a plane crash. Fantastic show. Not sure who my favorite character is

ETA. fricking knew it. They’ve been telegraphing that Geoff storyline bombshell (may be forgetting some of S1)

ETA 2 that badass German shepherd. Good boy

Commodore bobs
Restaurant Tyler. Hit up the speakeasy bar behind back after called the guest room
Taste Italian kitchen
Older Brother is a great new spot but small so probably a long wait
Board town pizza is solid
Bulldog burger
Bin 612 but likely crawling with college kids
Camp house but haven’t been there in years so not sure if it’s still decent
Dave’s dark horse is a classic dive bar with good deep dish pizza if that’s your thing
Georgia blue
Harvey’s and the grill are alright
Have heard good things about big E’s dinner club but haven’t been

Anthony’s in West Point if you’re willing to make the 25 minute trek

There’s a few more standard options but that’s a good start. Highly recommend Restaurant Tyler and commodore bobs

ETA: little dooey is average/below average bbq but their fried catfish is good. It’s been there for years and the espn guys used to love it but there is far better bbq out in the south/MS

Not really a fan of this approach, but still not as bad as the Rams showing up in Australia like an hour before their game


Just watch out for the speed trap towns of Gordo and Reform! :lol:

Ah. Ok. I couldn’t figure out how to get approved for “Elitedawgs” either. Work email probably blocked access. No matter. There’s like 6 dudes on there arguing anyway.


Yea, elite dawgs is terrible. Our only good boards now are sixpack and the paid on3 board
A lot of people came after Kelly Jones this offseason but we locked him up with 1 free catfish plate per week at lil dooeys and a VIP booth at the pony

He grew up a die hard state fan. We will pay him very well and he will only be leaving Starkville for the NFL.
