re: Powerball is back up to $1 billion annuity ($433.1 million cash) drawing tonight

Somehow I feel like $260 million is simultaneously a lot but also not a lot. You could wipe that out pretty quick in today's dollars. A couple houses in prime areas, a private plane, some cars, some trips with your whole extended family.
Just the upkeep, HOA, and taxes on the houses is a high bill that goes on indefinitely.
Or I could just continue to live a quiet life with a new hunting property for my Dad, a boat, a paid off house, and $260million in the bank, but hey that's just me.

Booked a tee time Oct. 3. Really excited to see how it turned out.
re: Idea of how Kiffin will handle load management during fall camp?

I get it, camp is a time for hard work and things happen. Just curious since we have new S&C staff and HC who has input. BK was actually fairly smart by putting in programs like slowly acclimating to weather by increasing outdoor time incrementally, etc. going shells some days, some days no contact etc.
And it largely showed in our lack of preparedness for week 1 under BK. BK gave Jack Marucci a little too much leeway with injury analytics and load management. It lead to extremely short practices and an out of shape team. Yes, we were relatively healthy going into the season, but it showed that we didn’t get enough reps.
This is a new offensive staff and the team needs all the reps they can get. I hope Kiffin works their arse off in fall camp.
re: LSU goes 9-3 this year with losses to Ole Miss, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Probably still a 3-loss team. I think we get revenge. Likely lose to Texas, Bama, and Tennessee.

A lot of people are downplaying the fact that A&M is only returning 1 starter on the O-line. 2 of their replacements are average guys from our failed O-line last year.
We catch them early in the year before they gel. That should bode well for some exotic Baker blitzes, regardless of how mobile Reed is. We should be able to force him into some turnovers at home.

re: Chizik admits that he paid players before it was allowed
Posted by classicgold on 7/22/26 at 1:20 pm to Landmass
Golding giving former coaches the balls to come out and talk about paying players live on ESPN is actually pretty funny. I wish Saban would have been on that set instead of Chizik.
re: Golding coming in hot in the question portion of his media day…
Posted by classicgold on 7/22/26 at 1:13 pm to JTM72
I can objectively say that was one of the crazier head coaching media days I’ve ever seen, while also being one of the most insightful. Golding is going to tell it like it is. I respect that, but it’s ok to acknowledge that there are ways to be more subtle about it.
We all understand that coaches hate the extra shite they have to deal with in today’s cfb. I guess good for Pete for coming out and saying he hates it.

I mean. I’m extremely appreciative of his honesty. This is kind of wild.

He was impressive right up until the point he started talking about all of the “head coaching bullshite” he doesn’t want to deal with.
re: My Impressions of Alex Golesh

Golesh kind of gives me Butch Jones vibes. I can’t figure out if he’s genuine or playing a part of someone he thinks he’s supposed to be.
re: I actually really like Jon Sumrall a lot BUT

It actually pains me to say how much I like Sumrall. I think he’s going to get UF back to really good program.

NLU Twitter Post on Greens
NLU guys have some decent discourse on the greens. They are measured at 0.379” of firmness, which puts them in the “firm” category.
I literally think they are just bombing the course and hitting sand wedge into the green. Fairways are also so firm that they are rolling irons out to 300yds. The lack of spin we usually see is likely because they are still hitting long and mid irons into the green.

I’m kinda tired of it being blamed just on Mother Nature. Yes that has played a huge part, but the R&A has chosen in the weeks up to water the hell out of the greens and keep them soft while not watering the rough and letting it die out and get thin They played a huge part in this as well
Greens are a little soft, but not anything out of the ordinary. Lack of wind is allowing these guys to hit a bunch of drivers and hit wedges into greens rather than 6 and 7 irons.

Another 61 watch. Pretty incredible what these guys can do when Mother Nature plays nice.

There had been one 62 in Open history
On the same course in nearly identical conditions. I was moreso referencing general extremely low scoring rather than an actual Major Championship record score, but I thought that was obvious.

Two 62s in one day at a major. Yikes
It happens every couple of years at the Open if the bad wind and rain doesn’t show up. There is not much they can do to these links courses to make them harder if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Love how he got absolutely 0 tv time compared to Herbert while also tying a Major Championship record.

Commentators are mad mad about the Hatton/Scheffler/DeChambeau group being aggressive off the 10th tee. Bryson is 10 yards from the green in fairly short grass, and they are still mad and complaining it's the wrong play. Like it offends them if people decide to be aggressive on their courses. :lol:

We’ve given up possibly 4 of the easiest goals I’ve seen all tournament. 0 fight tonight after all of the hype.

Unfortunately that game may have just ignited England to play with effort like they are capable of doing.

I’m really interested to see what happens at the last whistle when England wins. Gonna be in insane.
