My daughter is 10 and has had significant migraines since she was about 5 and this sounds exactly like her pattern. Unfortunately, I think she gets it from me, I'll get a few real nasty migraines a year with aura.

Luckily she has a prescription of Rizatriptan and a nasal spray, Zavzpret. She's gotten very familiar with her triggers and if she gets ahead of it we can usually avert the throwing up. The Zavzpret has been great because it works almost instantly.

Wish her the best, migraines are brutal to have to deal with.

re: Interesting question re:The Masters

If Augusta National were to be placed on the market for sale (obviously, never going to happen), would it be worth as much as the Dallas Cowboys?

With The Masters tournament and all the licensing/merchandising a hypothetical new owner could take advantage of, it kind of makes you think.


The rough estimate of the value of Augusta National is around $10-12 billion. This is the real estate, club assets and holdings etc.

The Masters tournament has to be treated as a separate entity. The tournament produces around $200 million per year. The merchandise is another separate entity that produces around $70 million per year.

So, I'd say that if you wanted to take over ANGC and the Masters tournament you'd probably be looking at north of $15 billion. That includes the property, assets and 10 years of forward earnings from the Masters Tournament and merchandise sales.

This is obviously all fantasy and a very rough estimate. The real value of the place is connections and power. Not really something that can be financially calculated.

re: So, is it kinda true the SEC was cheating way more than anyone else pre NIL?

Posted by RolltidePA on 4/7/26 at 9:31 am to lsupride87
Some of it is cyclical. Some of it is their deep pockets. I've been saying for a while that the portal is more of "issue" than NIL and they have been much better at working the portal and constructing teams than the SEC.

Michigan and Indiana did a great job building through the portal. Really Ohio State as well. None of Michigan's starters last night were Michigan signees. Indiana was built almost completely through the portal.

You can't tell me that Texas and Texas A&M don't have all the money that the B1G schools do. The B1G schools have done a better job with their NIL / portal strategy.

re: Atlanta Falcons release new uniforms

Posted by RolltidePA on 4/3/26 at 12:07 pm to red sox fan 13
Why are all the teams going for the one color sock - unitard / monotone look currently? It looks weird.

The Falcons have one of the best throwback looks in the entire league and they are averse to just wearing them as their full time unis for some odd reason. A great uniform is right there and they miss every time they redo them.

He just signed a 9 year $140 million contract. I'm sure he'll have enough fun with that money that he won't have missed much.

re: F-15 reportedly shot down in western Iran

Posted by RolltidePA on 4/3/26 at 11:34 am to SWLA92
An A10 was shot down in Iraq, by a SAM, while I was on deployment in 2003. So, no that wouldn't be correct.

Unless they are specifically talking about the F15, which then, I'm not sure.

re: Oats top 3 in coaches?

Posted by RolltidePA on 4/3/26 at 10:18 am to crimsoncoded94
1/3 of all of Alabama's sweet 16 appearances in program history have happened in the last 4 years. 2/3 of our elite 8 appearances and our only Final 4 appearance has happened in that time as well.

Sorry to have to say it like this, if he can take a mid to low-tier program like ours to that level and maintain it he's a top 5 coach in the country.

I’m just referring to the social media sites like Northern Provisions reporting on it. They have a lot of “unofficial” contacts who likely are first hand witnessing some of this.


Hard to trust social media, even the more reliable channels. Unofficial contacts are sometimes there to intentionally muddy the water. There's always a lot of static early on. A little time will clear things up.

Reports have been all over the place. First, it was an F35, then an F15. It's been reported in central, western and southern Iran.

Take it all with a grain of salt until something more concrete comes through.

Currently we seem closer in philosophy and economically with Japan, South Korea and Eastern Europe.

Western Europe has embraced socialism, mass migration and globalism while showing a longstanding willingness to sell out the provider of a good portion of their defenses. I don't think we can fully abandon them, but our relationship seems destined to be more distant.

You don't seem to understand the definition of air superiority. Air superiority is simply a favorable position. Air supremacy means you can conduct operations without interference.

re: Byrne wants to do away with SEC Championship Game

Posted by RolltidePA on 4/2/26 at 11:32 am to InkStainedWretch
In the last two years, it nearly eliminated a potential playoff team, and cost a team a higher seed and a possible bye in the playoffs. The game has hurt the league twice now.

It was innovative when it was created and allowed for a regular season Championship type experience and was a large reason for the financial and competitive advantage that the SEC enjoyed for years. None of the benefits of the game exist anymore in the current landscape. It's time to evolve with the current era, give the SEC title to the regular season champion, and not have the game potentially damage the prospects of potential playoff teams.

Intel stock dropped by over 60% in 2024 while the other stocks in the sector listed on NASDAQ rose by about 30%. It's priced about $15 per share lower than it was 5 years ago.

That's pretty volatile.

A century+ ago women of desire looked like a bass fiddle, less on top, and lots on the bottom. What has changed?


That's because back then only the ultra-rich could afford to be fat. It means that they could afford good food and didn't have to do labor.

It wasn't physical desire, it was class desiribility.
