My thoughts are I’m getting a babysitter for Saturday because I’m so fricking ready to watch this game. Can’t wait.

What would you propose they do? Shitcan a new coach after five games?


We want the AD fired.

I’m glad folks are finally coming around, I started a thread about firing him on the Arkansas board SIX YEARS AGO.

I like it, keep leaning into basketball.

Hunter could totally redeem himself if he moves us to the Big 12.
AI ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. It makes some things a little bit easier but you still have to check its work.

I have to transcribe videos sometimes at work, the “AI” can give you a quick transcription, but it’s littered with errors so I still have to go line by line and correct them.

It’s faster than transcribing it from scratch but it’s really just a time saver, not a replacement for a real human.
I do all my homework on Friday night so my Saturday night is free to just party.

I went to school with her, we used to run cameras at Arkansas baseball games together. Super nice.

My first mortgage was 15.5% FHA on $62,000. The monthly payment was almost $900. So tell me more about how things were before you were born.


There seems to be a problem with binary thinking on this issue. Folks like yourself think that if things were bad in the 80's, then now they're good. They can both be bad.

If you look at a pile of recent data around home purchasing and your only takeaway is "things were worse for me," then you don't understand the issue.

They were more like 50k and got to about 100k end of the decade

With an 18% rate that was a payment of 1500


Mortgage rates in 1989 were about 10%.
I still like the feeling I get on Saturday mornings, but find I sit and watch games a lot less. I usually have a game on in the background while I do something else. I look forward to Saturday nights when my wife and kid go to sleep and I can finally chill on the couch with a game on.

NFL is unwatchable for me unless I'm in a group. It's over-officiated and every game feels the same. Feels like any time something remarkable happens everyone is waiting for the inevitable flag.

Better than the 18% in the early 80s


Yeah and houses were like $16k.

What has he accomplished again?


Got Ole Miss to the playoffs. They were a perennial doormat in the SEC. When I was a kid the Mississippi schools were auto-wins for everybody.
They might turn on him if he loses four or five games but it’s early. If he could make Ole Miss good then he will probably win a bunch of national championships with LSU.

That was an absolutely moronic call by them, even though it worked in their favor...it was stupid. Too many things to go wrong possibly.


Scared money don’t make none.
Just spent a week in a condo with a bunch of women. First day, one of them set it to 68. We were on the beach and loading up the condo so it got warm, had I left it on 68 it probably would have broken the air conditioner. Damn thing was rattling and working overtime.

On the last day I was in bed and it was hot, one of them had set it to 78!

They’re the jezebels that swindled me, I wanted to hear some thoughts from people who wear glasses to get some opinions. I called them earlier and going back in a couple weeks to see what they can do.

They’ve got some anti glare coating, haven’t used them at night yet but we’ll see. Probably gonna end up being a waste of money but I’m supporting the local economy I guess.

No idea, I didn’t ask enough questions. I forgot to mention they had dilated my pupils and I’d never had that done before. Couldn’t see a thing and they’re like “wanna pick out some frames?”

In the moment glasses seemed like a good idea because I couldn’t see at all. Now I’m realizing I’m better off without them. Oh well, got a nice pair of glasses for driving at night at least.
