The men have the potential to make more money. Not because of attendance, but because to television contracts and March Madness. Recently, the women's game has been drawing more eyes but it has not translated to new tv deals and bigger pay outs.

The television contracts are the money maker for football too.
Don't confuse the hysteria champaign with facts that don't fit their narratives.

Thank you for the feedback and probably saving my daughter's yard.

Fall Lawn Cocktail Spray rates

Posted by Blanding on 9/19/25 at 5:21 pm
I've calibrated my sprayer for 1000 sq ft. If my calculations are correct, I need 1 2/3 Tablespoons of Prodiamine 65 wdg and 2 teaspoons of Celsius wg. Do these dry measure volumes look correct for each 1000 sq ft of St Augustine?

TIA

I've mentioned that I taught at Clemson (88-92). This was during the end of the Danny Ford era. I was the faculty sponsor for the Letterman's Club. My goodness that was a colorful time. Your explanation of the pronunciation is spot on.

I taught a night class down at Newberry, dangerously close to Gamecock country. I required the class to meet once during the semester on campus. I was giving directions and one of the students said, "Just drive north. When you get close, roll down your windows and follow your nose." Clemsum
is the A&M University for South Carolina and had lots of bovine Agriculture.
It's been awhile since I taught at Clemson. I was there for four years and the entry is legit. The people in the stands can see the team loading onto the busses and the crowd starts to rev it up. As the busses make it around the stadium and the players begin to assemble around Howard's Rock, the stadium comes alive. Everthing is well choreographed.
When they split the students that are sitting on the hill in the end zone, roll out the orange carpet and charge down the hill - it's impressive. I've attended lot's of sporting events and this entrance is worth seeing.

Don't forget an offensive innovator, Red Parker from Fordyce. He coached at The Citadel and Clemson. I was fortunate to get to know Coach while he was leading the Fighting Okra at Delta State. He left DSU to be offensive coordinator at Ole Miss

I taught at Clemson and was the Letterman faculty Club sponsor. The ESSO Club the OP referenced is legit!
My fondest memories of attending LSU football games in the late 50ies and into the 60ies was this perk for Louisiana coaches. Train ride from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, stay with my uncle that taught at LSU. That was special.

Living in Montana, we listen to every game (if possible) on the radio. Really enjoy the pace and Chris’s enthusiasm.


What part of Montana? We lived in Billings for eight years and loved it!

Montana State Billings has a nice stadium shared with a rookie league minor league team. It has a beautiful view of the "rims."
Report on the Arkansas Youth Hunt.

My grandaughter took a big bodied 6 point this afternoon. Thanks to all the contributions to my initial question about Win 270 options. Y'all have provided multiple positive ideas.

Happy New Year!

I taught at SAU for 14 years. We lived on Greene St and our house burnt four years ago. We moved to Lake Erling with my retirement. And, yes, I've had a few hunts in the Village area but mostly Falcon Bottoms. Now we hunt on properties around the lake.

She has shoot three deer with the Federal Fusion load. The doe dropped. The two bucks ran off - 30 to 50 yards. I believe there's a lot of energy exiting the deer with this load. When I reloaded, I used Nosler Balistic Tips. Seldom did I have a deer take a step. The load seemed to be just about optimum with devastating energy transfer and an exit wound for tracking.

I caught 16 this morning before 10. Someone has to do it. I'll be taking the granddaughter to the woods in the morning for the Arkansas youth hunt.
