re: 2026 Spring Garden Thread

Not really worried about optics here. I can't see or hear my closest neighbor. Our house is at the top of a hill. The area I was referring to is behind the house and down a slop to where it flattens off some. I've thought about just using 16' cattle panels to fence in a little area for any peas/beans I want to grow.

We had deer at out other place but they never messed with anything or came in the yard. Here, they are everywhere and don't think twice about walking through the yard.

The lack of adjustment could be multifaceted. OL couldn't create push, Ty held the ball too long, RBs couldn't run with physicality.

This year will tell the tale.

Mrs Rep and I bought a new place last August. Although there is a good open spot for a garden, I think the deer would wreck anything I put down there. My soil here is more clay(ish) than our other property which has great soil.

May have to shift to more raised beds than in ground growing this year.
I mean, the Admiral Byrd interviews are out there. He clearly speaks of things that go against the entire narrative of what we're told about Antarctica.

Is the man a liar?

Are they qualifying the front row today?

I want to see agression and physicality.

I want Alabama football to look like Alabama football.
Deboer did an acceptable job of taking the team Saban left him (anyone with a brain will admit that the 'Standard" had fallen off starting with the 2021 season) and the incoming recruiting classes.

The fact that so many freshman played during Deboer's first two years speaks volumes to the level of talent. Through departures either by graduation/NFL/portal the "let him get his players" argument is a full stop from this point forward.

For good or bad, this is Kalen DeBoer's football team. He recruited the overwhelming majority of the roster. He's had a chance to evaluate his first staff and make changes where he deemed necessary. This is HIS team.

His history shows he can get the job done but he's never been in this kind of pressure cooker before. Can he? This year will go a long way in determining whether he can or not.

Anyone that thinks our strength and conditioning isn't a point of concern is being blind. We do not push anyone around anymore, on EITHER side of the ball.

We had to run trick plays to gain TWO yards on 4th down FFS.

I also like to do both, depending on the cook and circumstance. Sometimes, I'll throw a grate over my fire pit after it burns down a bit.

I didn't get to watch the Clash although I meant to.

Looks like I'm glad I didn't.

Average speed of 29.1 MPH, is that right? Ouch.


As another poster said, bring the Clash back to Daytona. People will watch Superspeedway races when they won't watch any other race.
Shakur looked really good and really big tonight.

I've been saying this for about 4 or 5 years. Teo has reached his limit with his father as his trainer. A trainer asking the fighter a bunch of questions in the corner between rounds isn't a very sound adjustment strategy.

I wish CDB could find a place for Nick Gentry. We haven't had a DL with his motor in a long time.

This administration isn't fricking around about breaking the reliance on Eastern materials and supplies.

It's a slippery slope but looks like it has to be done.
The funny thing about that is that Alabama literally set the standard in investing in the football program.
I tried to tell y'all last year that Philon can't run an offense and got eleventy gazillion down votes.
He's Scarbinski lite except he know less about sports and is less clever than Scarb.

I don't believe this is even close to true yet.

Thanks for all the input fellas. I have some research to do.

How would one invest in copper?

Posted by bamarep on 1/24/26 at 10:38 am
Without stacking physical bars in the garage?

Multiple signs are pointing to a massive shortage in copper as the AI boom continues..
