This guy is such a cry baby bitch. Every week he finds some new way to be offended. Go watch the Traylor comments, not what he was saying at all. This is the same guy that got upset that Memphis fans booed his team for faking injuries, saying he had never been in a stadium where they would boo "injured" players yet he was on the coaching staff in Knoxville. If this guy makes to to the SEC, Kiffin might actually make him cry.
Man, the American has the cattiest bunch of coaches ive seen in a while. Between Traylor, Sumrall, Golesh and the North Texas coach we've just got a conference full of bitch made coaches. Not a big fan of Silverfield but at least he doesnt get involved in this kinda nonsense.

I like Silverfield.

I think he is the guy, but he's flying way under the radar.


Legit question, why? Dont get me wrong, hes done a decent job at keeping us relevant but thats about it. We arent competing for conference championships in a vastly inferior league compared to what Norvell coached in. He recruits at a high level but i think that success has more to do with the university's commitment to football the past 10+ years. We've dumped money in to facilities and our NIL dwarfs our conference mates as well as regional G6 teams.

Hes a boring mid energy guy, puts a boring product out on the field and the coaching calls are questionable more times than not. And this is just a pet peeve of mine but the guy was an o-line coach prior but our o-lines since he has been in charge have been awful. This is the first year we have had any semblance of a run game but that is more that we have a mobile qb threat.

The guys is a 8-4, 9-3 type coach and doesnt seem to be able to take that next step. Ill be fine if we are able to keep him but honestly wont be upset if he gets hired away.

D) make food stamps way more like WIC and cut out the crab legs and Little Debbies and soft drinks

E) increase work requirements



These two; food stamps should be like wic. Fruit, veggies, starch, dairy and protein (limited to fish & poultry). End of discussion

If you are going to have these benefits they should be assistance and not handouts. Prove you are actually low income, require drug tests, prove you are taking your kids to the dr and dentist as well as enrolled in school. If you cant do these things then bring back public works projects and start digging ditches.
3D printing, surprisingly. You can get an Ender 3v2 (which is just fine for learning and tooling around with) for super cheap and alot of the slicer programs and a good deal of models are open source and free. PLA filament will run you $15-20 a roll but depending on what your printing a roll can last you a while. Theres a pretty steep learning curve but thats part of the fun, for me at least. Id go as vanilla as possible with your machine and work your way up from there.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind words, encouragement and advice. It was definitely needed and greatly appreciated. Even the fella that called me white trash, you’re right, there’s responsibility I bare in the situation and thats why I find myself here asking for advice on the internet. Learn from my mistakes, better myself and ask for help if needed. Any way, thanks again to everyone.

For real? From what part of town?
watch their ex completely spiral? If so, how'd you handle it? Not just with your kids but with your self?

A little context; the ex and I have been separated/divorced for a little over 3 years now and I have full custody of the kids. When we separated she basically just left the kids with me to go pursue her "freedom" which, honestly, i was fine with because i wanted nothing to do with her any more. While i was struggling with raising 2 young kids by myself and working a fairly demanding full time job she was out partying and essentially acting like a teenager. The whole time im just watching this and keeping my mouth shut because i knew exactly how this was going to play out. I thought it would be funny. I thought it would make me happy to see her destroy her self after everything she put me and my kids through.

Its not, though. Shes living out of a hotel, pretty sure shes on drugs, rarely sees her kids (by her own choosing, the only times i have denied access to them is if she refuses to meet me half way on getting them to her) and has had more jobs over this 3 year stretch than i have had in my entire life. I can easily see a scenario where she is dead in the next few years. I thought it would be good for my oldest to learn for himself what a train wreck of a person his mother is, it hasnt been. My 4yo daughter doesnt even really understand what role a mother should play in her life because shes essentially never had one. I know they love their mom and i dont disparage her in front of them, i actually never even talk about her to them unless they ask me something directly. Even then i kind of just avoid/pacify.

All of that said, the situation sucks. Ive been waiting for this moment and now that its here its extremely depressing. Like, my sons last regular season football game is this afternoon and she hasnt even attempted to make one of them and i know he's going to be devastated (again, just like he was the first game) that she didnt show up. It sucks to see a person you spent a decade with as your other half just do a complete 180 and turn in to something/someone you dont even recognize. Its even worse to see someone completely abandon their kids especially when youre the one that has to pick up the pieces.

Sorry for the wall of text. While i know im far from alone in having to deal with shite like this, i personally dont know anyone that has so just kind of venting into the void.

This guy is actually probably one of the better political guys on here imo. Might get a little over zealous some times (who doesnt) but will actually listen to opposing view points and admit if he jumped the gun on something. Seen him admit that hes wrong a couple of times. Very few people like that left on the internet.

Hard to do when your schedule is filled with the likes of conference foes such as Charlotte, Rice and Tulsa, or non conference games like Arkansas State and MTSU. We have Arkansas and Mississippi State as our only P4 opponents over the next like 7 years and those will likely be cancelled with the SEC going to 9 conference games. Memphis shows up and shows out for quality opponents but being in the AAC is killing us slowly. If we get passed over again after the likely 2030 re-structuring then its probably over (especially if we get passed over for Tulane and USF which seem to be ahead of us in the pecking order). If we stay relegated to the lower tier the admin will probably just put all the money back in basketball again.
quote:

if you can win at Memphis, you can win just about anywhere.


That line of thinking is about 10+ years past its prime. Once the admin decided to actually put money in football over basketball, turns out its not as hard to win in the leagues we play in as previously thought

Someone big skirred


lol, wut? We've already had 2 better coaches hired away, that dread faded when Norvell left. Not afraid of losing a coach some of the fans have dubbed Ruin. Even then im pretty certain we wont even have a D1 football program in the next 10 years, so theres that too

Ryan Silverfield (Memphis)


Honestly, i dont see it. He's already had some really good seasons here and hasnt been on anybody's radar. I think the closest mention was Indiana a few years ago where his name popped up for a brief period. I think he benefits more from the players Memphis is able to get vs the competition than being a good coach. Dont get me wrong, ive seen the other end of it and ill take a 8-4 type coach all day long but i just dont think hes that good. I guess i could see a mid tier p4 taking a flyer on him but i dont think any big time job is going to go after him (ala Norvell and FSU)
I have 2 brothers and its a weird scale.

Older brother (3 years older than me) - very introverted and kind of an a-hole

Me - a little introverted, a little outgoing, can be an a-hole but try to be nice

Younger brother (6 years younger than me) - extremely extroverted, very social and one of the nicest people that you will ever meet

Co worker has been begging me to try using it for breaking down project specs. Figured id humor him and give it a shot. Its shocking how off it was. Most glaring was spec called for a 10,000 gallon plastic storage tank but gemini claimed we needed a 1,000,000 gallon tank. Went ahead and stopped right there

Not an exterminator but this is more than likely the case, especially if its the bathroom. The big ones are American cock roaches and supposedly only come inside looking for water. The little ones are German cock roaches and those are the buggers that nest and are hard to get rid of
