re: I appreciate what D1 baseball is trying to do
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 2/23/26 at 10:10 am to Yeti_Chaser
The broadcasts were good, love Ben and Lynn, replay views weren’t great. What’s frustrating is there is no obvious link to cancel your subscription so it doesn’t renew. Finally found a Manage Subscriptions link under Contact Us (odd place for it) but it only showed my cancelled 2025 subscription. I guess I’m going to have to cancel the charges via my credit card. What a pain in the arse.

Thanks, but I never found any link like that. Finally clicked on Contact Us and there is a Manage Subscriptions link there but when I clicked on it, the only subscription that showed up was my 2025 subscription which showed as cancelled. They charged my credit card on Friday but the 2026 script doesn’t even show up in my account to let me cancel it.

Ok they care about college baseball, kudos to them. I just want to know how to keep them from raping my credit card account. Maybe it’s my bad, but I’ve looked at every link on their site and none have an option to cancel your subscription. Fts
How to cancel D1baseball subscription?

I’ve looked at every option and can’t see how to cancel this sob. Paid for a month and apparently it will renew unless cancelled.

I saw the Pistol play as a youngster and he was my hoops idol my entire basketball playing days. I loved most of the Dale Brown years, and Brady’s tenure too, and thereafter lost interest in the dark years under Trent Johnson, then came the Bullet who I played against in high school who wasn’t ready for prime time.
Then came the Pear who brought back the magic and fan enthusiasm, mostly because of the way his teams played and the talent he signed. It’s a close call who was the worst hire; Johnson or McMahon, but I haven’t watched a full game this year and the only player I can name is DJ.
The moral of the story brother, this is it, hire a bad coach and you’ll play like shite.

re: Four "tax friendly' states that are actually money pits for retirees

Mississippi has much room for improvement, but the county I live in (Amite) is one of the lowest property tax counties in the state, Sales tax is 5%, and there is no state income tax on retirement account withdrawals, ie 401k, IRA’s, etc.
It’s rural, but that’s what I want. 13k people in a large geographical county. I’m a La baw so I have a place on the bayou in Terrebonne Parish….and that’s not a bad place to live either.

I have a place on Bayou Terrebonne and a few months ago my neighbor across the bayou starts throwing out all kinds of trash into the bayou from his shrimp boat. Full cold drinks, grocery bags, bait boxes, etc. I go crab and shrimp some at the weirs in wonder lake and I still get surprised how much trash people can throw at a beautiful place that they enjoy. Bad home training.

Once when I got a recurring error message, then once more when the site accepted it.
The most single glaring stat.
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 2/14/26 at 10:26 pm
Both teams had 9 turnovers, much better for LSU than the 19 at Texas. LSU even out rebounded SC 46-37. Both teams made 26 field goals. LSU was 14-23 from the line and SC was 15-17. But the biggest differentiator is LSU shot 2-12 from 3 and SC shot 8-17. And LSU has good 3 point shooters, and I know they’re youngsters, but they were tight, and that’s a mental thing.

The difference in the last Texas game was turnovers (19). LSU cannot make 19 turnovers and expect to win, nor can Flaujay go 3-14, and they cant they let SC get going from 3. Texas shot 50% from 3. Make it happen Deaf Dome

I just made Osso Bucco for the first time and it was damn good. Used Hank’s recipe.

I’m kind of a purist when it comes to venison, and my cholesterol is high, so I don’t add any fat. Kill 4-5 deer/year and it’s my primary source of red meat. One great way to cook is stir fry where meat is “velveted” which is what most Chinese restaurants do to tenderize the meat. Here is the recipe i use. Hank Shaw Venison Stirfry
I’m eating a venison soup now with root vegetables and beans peas etc, with jalepeno cornbread and it couldn’t be any better. If you ever want to try pure deer burgers, right before you grill, add an egg, olive oil, Worcester, cajun power, spicy mustard or any other liquid marinade, and dry seasonings. Oil the grill, pat burgers which will be pretty delicate, gently place them on grill. After they get a little char they firm up and can be turned, my friends and family rave about them.

I agree, they have a little different skill sets and arguably, Flaujae may be slightly more physically gifted, or not, but Bella has the better decision making skills IMO. I’d love to see some of Flaujae’s minutes gravitate to Bella going forward.
re: Taxes on 401k after Retirement and Roth
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 2/8/26 at 11:41 am to Amblin
If you have an after-tax investment account, you should definitely transfer $8k per year from there to a Roth.
Whether to convert traditional IRA rollover to Roth is a more complicated question, but based on what you outlined, I wouldn’t transfer.

Her decision making is the poorest on the team. She’s talented but needs to stay within her limits to be a positive contributor.

Whether you like him or not, this is exactly my view on The Athletic, which I’ve had since 2022.
Moscona on 2/2/26:
“Everything that I look at with The Athletic moving forward now, I will look at with great caution after something like this. Because 2 reporters and at least one editor let that pile of crap go thru without making one simple phone call that could have answered the question and that could have prevented all of this, from Friday to Monday. You want to report and btw something else we told you, there were more than a dozen schools that got these notices from the CSC, why did they pick LSU, it was the biggest brand…… it was gonna get the most headlines, it was gonna get the most clicks. And that’s the unfortunate part, because that’s not the job.”
