re: Frank Fletcher

Loved that Frank called him out. Hopefully it strikes a cord. Also shocked how much he's helped. I figured the car business hasn't been great of late.

I thought Nudie was out of line for calling him out on X but now I'm siding with Nudie. He basically said he only cares about himself then deleted it. This was last year.

Man, you would think Sam would have had time to put out a similar statement by now.
This has stunned me. Hell, Brian Kelly put something out.

I think he and Mark May had a plan on the TDC.
I bet HY doesn’t set foot in there anymore.

The fanbase would support BP well over the list of 4 that's been put out.

Wes said hunter shut everybody on the Arkansas side down after the last football search. Anything you hear from the Arkansas media side is BS. Probably with NDA’s.
NDA’s from who? Media members?
He plays it tight always. Same as when Cal and Pitt were hired.

It’s my hope HY leaked those names to see fan reaction like he did with bball.
re: Married folks — do you and your spouse keep separate checking accounts?
Posted by Billy Blanks on 11/23/25 at 5:56 am to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
No. Combined when engaged and never looked back.
I know it works for some to separate but it’s odd to me.
I see it more from folks who waited a long time to marry.

Exciting to hear. Need to lock a winner down before Lane goes to LSU.

They allow it, they also game the heck out of it, especially with regards to free nights certificates that can be topped off. If you have a 50k cert, the hotel will price the room at 66k so you can't top it off. Relative to Hyatt's ease of use its ridiculous, but they have like 20x the hotels so people are stuck.
When your program generates a verb with negative connotation it really says it all ( "getting bonvoyed")
Ah damn. That sucks. So they make you buy additional for the stay and therefore not getting any benefit.

You may not know this, but most hotels are franchised, especially in Marriott.
I did.

They don't enforce program rules regarding benefits against participating hotels
It looks like you can use points for free stays. Are you saying some do not allow that?

I despise Marriott and how they operate their program. They don't enforce shite on their program hotels.
What do you mean enforce? Like not offer a room?

I don't think he realizes how badly this will backfire on him. People hate arrogance when it comes to money.

re: What to do with a small retirement pension.

quote:
My math and assumptions need to be checked, but I would think about it like this: 30k now or 12k a year in 25 years? I use the 4% assumption quite a lot, ignoring the current lower interest rate bias to address the hypothetical question. That means you'll have $1200 of income (4% of 30k) now vs $12000 income (1k a month) in 25 years. So another way of phrasing the question is would you think an IRA could be used to grow that 30k by ten times in 25 years? Many projections show SP500 growth of 5 to 7% over the next 10 years. So assuming 6% growth your 30k would double every 12 years (rule of 72). In 24 years at the same rate your 30k invested in the SP500 in an IRA would be a little over $120k. That would only earn you $4800 a year in income. I'd go with the state retirement plan if the 1k a month in 25 years is real.
