Guessing there’s a few on the res that aren’t getting accurately reported

No on Mt Pleasant. I’d stay in Charleston, but would consider Isle of Palms before MP. It’s a 30-40 minute drive to downtown from IoP. Do Husk for lunch. Early dinner there with kids is fine, but I would grab lunch there, take a private carriage tour w the family, walk around South of Broad and the battery, then head to the rooftop bar at the Market Pavilion hotel at sunset and grab a drink and some appetizers.

Here’s my take on the 9 that I’ve been to. UK: There’s nothing great nothing terrible about the overall experience and stadium. Overall pretty forgettable. Tenn: Hate the stadium. Rows are way too close together, your knees are in someone’s back and you have knees pressing in your back the entire game. And the 3.5 hours of Rocky Top is a beating. Vol navy is a cool novelty. Vandy: You go for Nashville, not the stadium or gameday experience. UGA: Stadium is great and campus is amazing. Dawg fans are obnoxious at best, down right assholes at worst. Bama: Stadium is great and fans welcoming. I guess it’s easy to be hospitable with the winning percentage they’ve thrown up since Nick took over. Auburn: Enjoyed the stadium and overall gameday experience was great. Auburn the city however is a shit stain. Gata: With the exception of campus, Gainesville is pretty shitty. Stadium is ok, not my favorite, but it’s not Neyland level bad. Fans are a mixed bag, some good some still living in denial. Cocks: Stadium is not on campus but that opens up plenty of tailgating opportunities. Have had a blast there before and during the game. Gets loud and the fans are pretty easy going with minimal expectations. Both the city and Stadium have improved dramatically the last decade. Spending a couple days in Charleston and driving up to Columbia for game is a great trip. Ole Miss: Glad I did it, will probably never go back. Grove was fun but as someone previously stated, it didn’t live up to the reputation. Oxford is beautiful, every area around Oxford…not so much. Stadium is ok, fans much like the SC fans are pretty easy to get along with, probably because they don’t expect to win. Have not been to but will: LSU Zero desire to go: Ark Mizzou Miss St Aggy

Suns debut tonight @ Charlotte.

Bridges is awesome

Who is this Bryce Anderson guy you speak of? I dig an under the radar first round QB. I kid. Don’t kid yourself, there are teams dumb enough to take Levis in the top 10. It’s a big reason why they are drafting in the top 10. I think he’s a career backup at best and wouldn’t draft him until day 3. I’ve been wrong before though, and for this kids sake I hope I’m wrong on this one too. Young and Stroud will both go in the top 5, Richardson is the ultimate wildcard. Someone like Seattle might take a flyer on him, if they can resign Geno, but I’m not mortgaging my future on a kid whose future might be better served at DB. Freak athlete but unproven QB…that scares me when looking for a franchise QB to build around.

Stapleton’s anthem has been 2:04 at both rehearsals in the stadium. I can’t find a place to bet it though.

Lacks firepower

It ain’t out of the question, but the Book, KD combo might be enough to overcome that curse. Time will tell. Guys need to stay healthy.

Are you drunk or is English a second language?

Book can run point if CP runs out of gas. Ayton is a disappointment, but in their finals run, he was a horse. They can do it without CP3 if DA steps up…. If CP can stay healthy it will be fun to watch. Bridges is a loss, dude has a wingspan and can D like very few.

Was in elementary school and they walked us out to see the Challenger launch. Yes, I grew up in Florida. Disaster and they couldn’t have ushered us back inside faster. A lot to process for a kid in kindergarten, but I’ll never forget the sight.

That ass needs its own thread. I’ll say it…I gladly eat every dish posted on the shank thread, scratch that, the Vic Mackey friend food thread…off of DAT ASS.

That looks intentional or like someone fell asleep at the joystick. Very tragic regardless of the cause.

By no means am I an expert, but I do have more information than most. Best friend from college is pretty high up with US Customs and Border Patrol. His brother, who I know very well, is a DEA agent. And my closest friend in AZ, where I live, is a surgeon who deals with the head aches of spending a third of his time with people wanting more pain pills. Our government, no cr, has tried to fix the problem by making it more difficult to prescribe and fill opioid scripts. Good in theory, bad in execution. The end result is good people who were prescribed pain meds for legit reasons get addicted and then turn to the streets when they can’t get scripts anymore. The addict who is dope sick isn’t going to scrutinize the pills they bought from whomever. They are going to take them so they don’t get dope sick. Many will OD, a lot will die. It’s fucking tragic. As far as the kids go…it’s not the kids of the parents on this thread that I’m worried about. We are aware and communicate with our kids and are teaching them things that I’m glad that our parents never had to teach us. It’s the friends of our kids, whose single mother works 3 jobs, that I’m worried about. The reality is that counterfeit pills are easy to spot if you know what you’re looking for. We should be educating our kids starting in middle school. Assemblies with DEA agents and survivors telling their loved ones stories who weren’t lucky enough to survive a stupid experiment. Showing them how to distinguish a counterfeit pill from a real one without needing a test strip. This would be a good start and I’m open to other ideas if anyone has one. Basically scare the shit out of them, so they know how bad we are scared for them. It might not help the desperate, unfortunate people who have gotten addicted, and turned to the streets for a fix, but it could help our children or the friends of our children to think twice before taking a random pill. And giving out free Percocet to anyone who wants one isn’t a realistic option either, but better free access to medical detox might help with those who got unintentionally addicted.

Fake adderall is usually laced with meth.

Yes please.

Cartels aren’t counterfeiting 5,10,20mg pills. They counterfeit 30’s because that’s what commands the most price. It’s also what most MDs have zero interest in prescribing. Why would they want to get their patients addicted and have to deal with constantly writing new scripts or send to pain docs to manage? A few years ago an orthopedic surgeon, in South Bend, got shot and killed by a patient’s husband after telling her he couldn’t write her another pain script and he’d refer her to pain management. Dude was walking to his car after a day in clinic. Also, it doesn’t take 10mg to test. Fake pills flake and chip and crumble. Real pills don’t. If a pill flakes, I’d bet you could crush that flake and drop the powder in an ounce of water and get a positive result from a test strip. Unfortunately, we are too far down the rabbit hole to have a good solution. This is going to get worse before it gets better and I bet it affects all of us at some point, if it already hasn’t.

Did he just say the kicker looks like Thurman Murman?

Much like the Masters…the shart thread is a “Tradition unlike any other “. I look forward to following, and hopefully not contributing.

FIFY

TCU’s 2nd half D is making South Carolina’s look like the 85 Bears.

Newquay

You can book Pepper for $50k. Don’t know what your target audience is but that seems like a better deal than $75k for Kelli Pickler. In that range 38 special would be my go to. Check out celebritytalent.net and you can see what the going rate is for different acts.

Met Coach Leach when I took an official to UK in 1998. He struck me as odd but very knowledgeable at the time. I played defense so our interactions were limited and they were playing South Carolina that weekend, so he had more important things to worry about. I roomed with Jared Lorenzen on that trip and he was beyond excited to play for the guy. It wasn’t until he got to Tech that I started to appreciate his genius. The CFB world won’t even begin to understand the contributions he made to the game for another 10-15 years. He literally changed the game and I feel for his family and every player who was privileged enough to have him lead them. RIP coach, the world was better with you but the game thanks you!
