Translation: our admins and boosters aren't willing to spend big bucks on individual baseball players which I understand and agree with.
Our university is one of the most profitable because they spend wisely aka they look for the best bang for the buck in terms of return on investment.
I would guess that baseball is not profitable for our university and Wes is likely doing well with what he has to work with.
The likely reason for those results is air cooling works fine for average to low end processors so it doesn't surprise me that 67% of the respondents don't have high end processors that require water cooling.

We ported both of our phone numbers to US Mobile and selected the AT&T towers (Dark Star) and so far so good.
We are retired and mostly at home and I had started missing calls due to spotty Verizon coverage in our area.

Interesting note: even though we are usually connected to our local Wi-fi, if you don't have cellar service (phone was dropping from 1 bar to no bars) then Verizon automatically rolls the incoming call over to voicemail.

I am now consistently getting 3 bars of 5G from an AT&T tower that is about 3 miles from our home on Google Pixel 10 Pro.
Spouse gets 4 bars of 5G on a Samsung Galaxy S25 all for 17.50 /mo each with a yearly plan of $210 /yr each.

Bennett was the best QB in UGA history.
He is the epitome of why a dual-threat can make a huge difference in your offense. This importance is even more evident when you consider that Bennett was undersized even by college football standards. But he had everything else that matters: speed and quickness, the ability to move in and outside the pocket to give him time to survey the field and find open receivers. He developed excellent touch on passes but had a quick release and could zip the ball in there as needed.
But possibility his greatness asset was his ability to quickly assess the defense and recognize when he could run and pick up easy yardage. This is a killer for opposing defenses because they literally never knew when he was going to run or pass because he could just as easily stop and throw a quick accurate pass on the run when the opportunity presented itself.
While I agree in principle, it will never happen because Democrats want birthright citizenship and as much illegal immigration as they can get away with because blue states are allowing illegal immigrants to vote simply by giving them driver's licenses which automatically registers them to vote.

We don't want them to surrender.
We want them to use up ever piece war apparatus and hopefully their people with rise up and execute their POS leaders.
They are excellent smart watches if you have a Samsung phone, otherwise, many features will not be available.
After 4 watches, I finally went with the Google Pixel Watch 4 which worked well with my old LG phone.
I have since gotten a new Google Pixel 10 Pro phone and it makes for a excellent watch/phone experience.
I have accepted the fact that we have earned the title: One & Done in all 3 major sports. :lol:
Yea, another strike doesn't seem like a real smart move given the direction of the industry but I think uniquely attractive and smart actors will always be in demand. Supporting cast, probably not so much.
The problem with AI is it's databased. Even if you create a new actor that's say a combination of 3 of the best actors of all time, it's still based on limited historic information.
Whereas millions of unique human beings are born every day and even if just one of the millions born in a year has the talent to become a good actor you have someone who unique rather than a historic facsimile.
It might mean you should drop both and possibly get a better deal on both.

re: More driving arrests

OK, let's level the playing field so to speak.
I got curious about arrests of non-football student athletes at UGA over the last 5 years. Surely law enforcement in the Athens area aren't singling out only football players.
Here the results of my query:
======================================================
Arrests of UGA student athletes other than football players over the last 5 years and how the numbers compare with the arrests of football players:

Reported arrests of UGA (University of Georgia) student-athletes other than football players from February 2021 to February 2026: Only one publicly documented case in major media and local news sources (Athens Banner-Herald/OnlineAthens, AJC, Red & Black, ESPN affiliates, etc.).
The single known non-football case

Davis Rokose (baseball – left-handed pitcher)
Date: Arrested ~January 6, 2023 (incident on New Year’s Day 2023, shortly before 3 a.m.)
Charges: Felony aggravated assault (domestic violence)
Details: 21-year-old Rokose allegedly argued with his 21-year-old girlfriend after drinking, then choked her; she had visible injuries to her neck and shoulders. Athens-Clarke County police responded to the domestic call.
Outcome: Booked into jail, released on $5,700 bond. UGA athletics issued a statement that it was aware and monitoring; Rokose was no longer listed on the baseball roster afterward. No further public updates on resolution.

No other arrests of current or rostered UGA athletes in basketball (men’s or women’s), gymnastics, swimming/diving, track & field, soccer, volleyball, tennis, golf, softball, or any other sport appear in searchable news reports or police logs during the 5-year window. Minor or non-publicized local incidents (if any) would not show up in these sources, but none rose to the level of coverage seen with football cases.
Comparison to UGA football player arrests (same period)
Football has far more — conservatively 25–35+ publicly reported arrests (exact totals vary by source because some involve multiple charges or group incidents). The program has faced repeated criticism for an “arrest epidemic” or “troubling pattern,” especially post-January 2023 fatal crash that killed teammate Devin Willock and staffer Chandler LeCroy.
Key breakdowns (not exhaustive):

Driving-related (reckless driving, speeding >100 mph, DUI, fleeing, etc.): 20+ documented, with at least 13 since the 2023 crash. Recent examples include:
Feb 18, 2026: Linebackers Chris Cole (reckless driving + speeding) and Darren Ikinnagbon (reckless driving + speeding + following too closely) — both clocked at 105 mph.
Nov 2025: OL Nyier Daniels (3 felonies including fleeing/eluding + 2nd-degree cruelty to children; 10+ misdemeanors in a high-speed chase with kids in car).
2025: Multiple others (Smael Mondon, Bo Hughley, Daniel Harris, Trevor Etienne DUI — later dropped, etc.).

Other notable:
Feb 2026: Freshman DL London Seymour — 11 felony counts of 2nd-degree criminal damage to property (dorm doors).
Dec 2025: Freshmen Dontrell Glover & Bo Walker — misdemeanor shoplifting at Walmart.

Media descriptions: “Over 20 UGA football players arrested on driving-related charges” (Red & Black, 2026); “32 player arrests since winning the national title 3 years ago” (various 2026 reports); repeated “off-field issues continue to plague Georgia football.”

Bottom-line comparison

Non-football athletes: ~1 known arrest (serious domestic case in baseball, 2023).
Football players: Dozens (mostly traffic-related misdemeanors/felonies, plus shoplifting, property damage, etc.), concentrated in 2023–2026.

The disparity is stark and widely noted in local/ national coverage — football accounts for essentially all the high-volume, repeated headlines. Most non-football sports at UGA have had clean public records in this timeframe.

I agree and I don't think UGA administrators are comparing law enforcement in the Athens with that at other universities in an effort to rationalize law violations especially after the tragic deaths in 2023 due to racing and the subsequent lawsuits.
Are there any notable examples of transfers that would have violated this rule?
Good to know. Blockade Iran and destroy all Chinese shipments.

Yep, baseball is tough. Lot's of games and it's difficult matching up with every team with your rotation.
And sometimes your hitting is just off or you are just up against a hot pitcher.

First, I am not trying to call you out and/or create a unwanted debate by yours truly. But....
Indiana, who obviously won the latest NC, had zero arrests during the 2025-2026 football season. So yes, teams can recruit at a high level and still have good team discipline.
But yes, given Indiana's history, their NC might well be a fluke but given the apparent high quality of Coach Cignetti's recruiting and coaching, I would guess that they will at least remain competitive at a high level.
