Auburn being the #5 seed nationally makes zero sense. They are currently 9th in the SEC at 11-10. Their remaining schedule is @Tennessee, South Carolina, @Ole Miss.

It is very questionable whether they finish in the top 5 in the SEC. Yet they are projected at the #5 national seed? That makes zero sense.

What about guys that wiggle their bat before they swing? They will strike out every time under your new proposed rule of “if the bat moves at all”. What about the guys that instinctively move their bat to their final position as the ball is thrown? Those guys too will strike out every at bat.

Have you really thought this through? It appears you have not.

Have you been to a football game on Campus?!! It is virtually everywhere. In the locker rooms, all over the recruit photos from On3, etc.. hell, there’s a documentary about LANK. It’s annoying

Again, I don’t think those guys are posters here.

Harry doesn’t like Kansas or that weird Kansas guy Pio.

Two top 10 recruiting classes and a lot of solid players from the transfer portal have rebuilt this Auburn team.

I do see Auburn getting back to normal this season. Their upcoming 7-5 or 8-4 record will have Barners dancing in the streets and chirping about next season.

Did you mean to post this last season? Or are you on a bender and think it is 2024?

Otherwise, it will be a real uphill challenge for Florida. Especially if they miss the postseason. They are currently 8-13 in conference play. They need to finish 5-4 to even have a chance and 6-3 to feel confident. They finish with:

@ USC (5-16)
@ Texas (19-2)
Alabama (12-9)

They need to finish 6-3, with two away series, against teams that are a combined 36-27. If they do that they deserve to be a #2 seed. If not, they don’t deserve to make the NCAA tourney. That would make winning a national championship even more of an accomplishment.

Running big water is different than the bayous most are accustomed to running here in south LA

There are people here from all over. For example, I have never run a boat in Louisiana except from Venice down the river and back.

There are a LOT of people here with a lot of different experiences. Until the last couple of years most of my sea time was gained on the Atlantic or in the Gulf. I think that qualifies as pretty big water. But it doesn’t matter the size of the water, not paying attention to what is in front of you is stupid and dangerous. The faster you are going the more dangerous it is.

What certification do you have exactly? Just curious.

A few of the rules of the road and the plotting is honestly not something 99% of people will ever really need. For instance, being able to identify the nav lights of a submarine. But one thing everyone can use is the theme they beat into you, safety first.

ETA: “There are old sailors and there are bold sailors, but there are very few old, bold sailors.”

Not our circus anymore.

makes 0.0 sense to use a map when running 70 mph.

Now THIS is a correct statement. There is a place for chartplotters. That place is not when you are running 75 mph, covering 100 yards of water every 3 seconds. You are saying you spend a lot of time looking at your electronics instead of in front of you while running wide arse open. That is foolish and dangerous.

If you have to completely focus on your electronics to navigate and can’t/won’t see what is in front of you then the only responsible thing to do is to slow down. Period.

Or you can run over a center console and kill three people.

It never happens to someone, until it happens to them.

I have a little experience on the water driving quite a few different boats in quite a few different bodies of water.

You should sign up for sea school, you would learn a ton about basic safety and navigation.
