Nah, assuming a 20% down payment, a 30-year fixed rate around 6.5-7%, and including taxes/insurance, you’re going to be between 650k to 850k.

If the venue is outdoors and has a grass GA section at the top, then as young as you'd like. If looking at the stage, there will be a bunch of kids to the left in that back corner.

I mean, I know its lowly Alabama, but crazy to think that $5k a month for renting an apartment is the same as a mortgage payment of a house around $750k, maybe more.

Very small hillbilly population in Alabama, really on the north/northeast corner of the state. The rest of us are rednecks, baw. Don’t forget arkys got some Ozark hillbilly in them too.

What particular right where they speaking of? The State of Alabama succession letter mentions "domestic institutions", so I guess that is what you're referring to.

Agreed, unlimited transfers is ruining, and will be the eventual death blow for college sports.

88'er and had a very similar childhood/upbringing. One of my favorite memories as a child was the first home desktop that came in a gateway cow print box and the AOL disc that had minutes on it.

:lol: this was the early 2000's. I don't think either school was particularly hard to get into at the time. I'm know auburn has that distinction now, but again, this was over 20 years ago.

ETA: I'm not sure how much it weighed into the decision but Tubbs going from Ole Miss to Auburn played in to some degree.

Raised by Miss St alums and grew up a Miss St fan. Family moved to Alabama when I was young and couldn't justify out of state tuition to go to State so I went to Alabama. The obvious move would have been to go to Auburn but just could not bring myself to do so.

re: As a man, do you cry?

Posted by parrothead on 3/19/26 at 10:14 am to SouthEndzoneTiger

not often but if I feel them coming out, i'm just going to go ahead and let them all out. no need to bottle them up. admittedly, my emotional highs are high and my lows are low. It had been a while, but I cried when I held out daughter for the first time 7 months ago. Randomly started crying last month watching her in the camera we have in the car. Sitting at a redlight and just watching her thinking about how much shes already grown started pulling the ole heart strings.
