re: What is the scouting report on Clemson?
Posted by chrome_daddy on 7/21/26 at 2:36 pm to GetmorewithLes
Some calling it Dabo's "Back to the Future" season as he's bringing back Chad Morris to run "the Clemson Offense". Chad Morris who hasn't been an offensive coordinator since 2020.
Many of their fans are goofball cultists who refuse to believe Dabo is anything but God's gift to football.
They have a serious chip on their shoulder about the SEC, let's keep it that way.
I would appreciate a beatdown as I grew up in the Lowcountry, have friends there, visit often. Would love to shut them up for another 5 years while I walk around down there with my P&G on.

I thought the average marriage is now 33 according to previous post. But we need to make sure we have the best schools right off the bat. And we can’t have a commute. Ok. What other way things can we not compromise on? Make sure your list is comprehensive.
In metro Atlanta 400k will get you a solid house. Dual income at 170k saving the first ten years of their career should give them 20-30% down payment, manageable note, and not be house poor.
Let’s just go ahead and call a spade a spade. Everyone in here bitching doesn’t want to make compromises.
My first house at 28 was a 1280 sq ft 80 year old shite box in NOLA where my shite was stolen out of the trunk of my car.
Now our household income is over 500k a year and we have a million dollar house. But we grinded for 30 fricking years to get there.
This should have been the end of this bitchfest thread 10 pages ago, but ya'll just can't help yourselves.
What this poster didn't inlude in his list of ya'll requirements for first time buyers besides best schools and no commute:
- walkable, with public transportation
- granite countertops, tile baths, smart appliances (smart everything)
- garage w off street parking
- community park, pool, and gym
- convenient shopping, restaurants, entertainment
- should be any US metro (including Bay area, Jersey, NoVa, etc.)
All for way less than the 446K and w a 3% note and only 10% down. For a first time home buyer.
GTFO

Good, leaves the good stuff for people like me (although I'm retired from all that now).
Got my 30 acre Va farm off foreclosure (2019 - yes lucky). Been through many fix / rent / flips since the 90's.
Wife and I looked at the house, it was totally trashed inside by the prior immigrant farmers. People we know were horrified - "walk away". Wife and I looked at it and said, "it ain't too bad". Now it's all worth three times what we paid for it. Not that I would sell - it's my forever home now.

re: What colleges did you considered going to and where did you end up going?
Posted by chrome_daddy on 7/16/26 at 9:15 pm to FlyingTigerBo
Was 1983. I was slightly older (like 20) and working. Was looking for a city were I could transfer and sell computers for Tandy Biz Products. I had to work and pay my way through. Also wanted to be somewhat near my folks who lived in FWB.
Considered:
Gainesville for UF
Tallahasee for FSU
Baton Rouge for LSU
Baton Rouge had a kick-arse office, with a top 5 monthly average for sales (out of 150 or so). I could simply make more money there. Was a good choice all around.

There is going to be a shite ton of Texas fans. Which will be sad considering what may be at stake.
None of them have ever been here, its pretty easy to get to either driving or flying to MSY, and they have the money to buy up all our tickets. And LSU fans will happily sell.
The fanbase will have cooled off on their team by mid-November, as they realize yet again this year they aren't as good as the hype.
re: Anyone NOT driven a car over 100 mph?
Posted by chrome_daddy on 7/13/26 at 8:36 am to Sams Crow
Many times as I used to race (dragstrip, VIR).
But, what sticks out is the most annoyed (and somewhat scared) I've ever been was as a passenger in a 340 Duster (hot cammed motor) in the backwoods of southern Alabama back in the late 70's.
A friend of my cousins took us out for a late night ride on a dirt road at over 100 mph multiple times, with a belly of beer (and weed) in us. Thought I was gonna die but mostly pissed off at this idiot. Wonder if he made it to 30.

So you/ve never been around super driven people. They live for it, every waking minute of every day of their lives. Sixty hours a week is nothing to them.
I understand it. You are in the height of your power, influence, money making, respect and there's no stopping you.

But i can tell you that recently this DOES happen. Just go down to the Mission district, broad daylight the homeless are gathered around shooting up in public. Like it was nothing.

Welcome to the club. Retired a couple of years ago at 62. Younger wife still working.
I recommend you take a trip - get out of your house and go somewhere for a while you've never been, for a period of time. Get some perspective for the rest of your life.
Stay busy. I always have projects here on the farm. But my fitness is the number one priority I have. I've always been in shape, but have turned it up a notch.
I'm convinced that if you keep your circulation going via heavy exercise every other day and weight training nearly every day you can ward off most ailments, issues, pain from aging. It's working so far for me and recommend you do the same.
