I wish I lived in SLC with all the options you have there. Downtown is awesome and flat as a board.

I’m not a fan of the track, but it’s close to the house and very flat. It’s really the only way I can stay in HR 130 zone. Think I wanna try some trail running next year. Gonna get some trail running shoes for my bday and start trying that.
I have to be so focused on my next step when trail running. Step to step. That's what I get out of it. I'm not a goobed out, hippy dippy person.

Did 6 miles on the local high school track today. Barefoot. HR134. Easy miles.

The vaccine isn’t a cure. It reduces the probability of contracting covid. If we allows the virus to run rampant the heath systems would be overrun. Sure you can deny health recovery services but any government or society would essentially be performing genocide to just allow the defunct “herd immunity” bullshite
PUREBLOOD! WE ARE RIGHT.

I don't think the UA or UGA difference relates to money or NIL. Things are just different with UA and UGA than they ever have been.
In Saban and Smart they have two pyscho, insane 24/7 recruiters that can't be matched. And UGA already has an elite talent base. UGA and UA always had the potential, now they have the keys to the kingdom in Saban and Smart. AU could have the same insane recruiter, and they would always be slightly behind UGA because UGA has the better natural base of talent.
The allure of Kiffin was that maybe he had qb/play calling wizardry to compensate for the UA UGA recruiting advantage. (as well as supposed transfer portal mastery).
Just settle in and we can still beat UGA with our great homefield advantage, and the vacuum when Saban retires will be epic (when?). Assuming we bring in good talent and have good qb play. But UGA and UA (until Saban retires) aren't going anywhere. Hopefully Smart will get burned out.
I think NIL will move to a settled state where big boosters will compete for super stars. The average players and the general public's involvement in NIL will eventually be blah. Everyone is now just panicking or being hopeful.

quote:I've said the same, but I've gone back to my fandom generally, like heroin.
The whole thing is a paradox. Giving money for players who, largely don't give a shite about Auburn, reinforces the fact that college sports are a professional endeavor now which removes all the beauty, glory, and romance that came with collegiate athletics and separated them from professional sports.
I wouldn't have said it as crass as giving money for 18 year olds to buy weed but, if we're being honest, that's not far off and not a thing I am going to spend my money on.
On record I'd like to say I'd be fine with college football and Auburn not having this professional silliness like we have now. I think I'd much rather root for Turd Ferguson who's father played here or farmed in Lee County a generation back. Or dudes from Lochapolka or Notasolga. It would be college football again, not this minor league NFL system that has a school attached. General Studies? Give me a break.

quote:You're at least in part correct. I'm wearing a jacket I purchased from Target. I own two houses and some land, all debt free. If we met in a bar we'd clink a beer, religion, race or creed if its up to me. My chasing of brands and bling ended when I was 17 years old. I just don't get it. Opportunity is out there for everyone. My Dad was a plumber who raised six kids. All I inherited was a work ethic.
Look at the expensive brands the mob is wearing and get back to us on that tired excuse. Everyone in that crowd could get $10 million in “reparations” and it gets 1000 times worse. I am thankful these two guys made it out alive and that at least Twitter is allowing honest commentary and debate.

I grew up fishing as a pastime with my Dad. Never hunted. All my friends did. My dad had his 20 gauge "squirrel gun" as he called it. Many handguns and we'd go shooting before there were places to go shooting.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm considering having a gun in public places on my person. I've always just had them around the house.

I don't go to malls. Its also pretty caucasian where I live if I'm going to stereotype. Plenty of Asians and Pacific Islanders here too. This type of violent stuff just never happens here without leading the news, and there's certainly not someone filming it with glee. It's a bad mix of a certain black sub-culture and poverty.

Long slow distance is not in the context of what we are talking about. If your LSD heart rate is 180+ you are an alien. Give me some of those drugs.

I run flat out at least once a week. Usually hill repeats at HR 186+. Again, I’ll be 49 soon.

Full out? Hmmm. Maybe during flag football or softball, but that isn’t a constant thing like sprints. I couldn’t really tell you, TBH.

I feel like KD, Zep, & Flan are the same players they've always been. Zero development beyond where they started.
I'm also no expert, so...
Any team that can apply on ball pressure will make us struggle to score.

I average 5 miles per day during the week of running/walking. I’m pretty good.
Speaking personally, It's been a while since I've run full out. I'm sore and it will be worse tomorrow. I'm mid 40's. I may consider steroids or HGH if anyone wants to get me up to speed.

Agreed. Coen is back as OC, we got Leary from NC State as QB, Vandy's Davis at RB, and multiple OL transfers to shore up the line which was our biggest issue this season.
And then the defense will be the defense, which has been consistently good under Stoops.
