How many ADs have given awful extensions over the past 20 years? Tons and tons.

One thing some of you young guys don't understand is how to appreciate that there are no "sure" things you can do, unless you have a coach like Saban... which is to just pay whatever you have to. That is easy. We have been on easy-mode since 2007.

This is called educated gambling. Some gambles pay off. Some don't.

I think what people need to do is take a breather and understand that the sport is not the same sport just because it says "college football." It has utterly reformed, mutated and changed in every way. Every AD and admin across the country is learning how to wheel and deal in the new era. The NEW college football (the mini-NFL model) must level out before we really start to understand enough to start making the best decisions we can. For now, it's a bit of a crap shoot. What our admin has done, now, is to signal to future HC prospects is that we will stand behind you when we hire you. We will give you room to breathe, and we will let you cook. That is killer. The contract sums that we see across the nation aren't the same anymore. We can all belly ache and pretend like we know what is too much and what isn't enough... but the projected earnings of our fine university and athletics department are governed by people that DO know more than we do.... and are well within their boundaries to make this call.

I, for one, DO think DeBoer is the right man for now. I think he is willing to make coaching changes beneath him. I think he has had to manage a 3rd quarterback now in 3 years. His defense is wanting. His running game is wanting. Naturally, he'll have to correct those. Fortunately for him, our running game has NOWHERE to go but improvement.

He is recruiting well. Players like him, and in the new system I think the hardcore approach Saban used is not going to be conducive to players wanting to stay. I think that's a part why Saban left. He knew his ways were not going to corale these kids the same way as it always did.

What will be interesting to see is how much Saban will now approach giving power back to the coaches, and stability to the new system. THAT TOO will require some patience for every fanbase and coaching staff.

Point is..... we are in totally uncharted waters. Everyone is. For now, I think you hold what you got and you do it early so it costs you less later.

There's a lot that goes into all this crap. Especially when the wheel gets reinvented.

Their 4.0 v6 did me 200k+ and still going. 2nd Gen Xterra.

Right. So, only Alabama fans like Morgan Wallen....

First off, you are AGAINST a regime change in Iran

No I'm not. I would call that a win. As I have said.

But, like Charlie Kirk, I dont believe that was our place to make happen. It wasn't our war. We just did as daddy Bibi said to. We encouraged and aided in a slaughter of SO much innocent blood. It was an unforced error.

Media lemming.

The only win is if there is regime change. We all know that here, right?

It's an immoral practice. Period. The money has to come from somewhere. No one owes anyone anything.... and money only has value because we say it does. When that breaks, you have nothing to offer... you're not personally producing... then there should be nothing you get out of the pot.

Are there structures whereby government could stop INCINERATING our money and feed it back into the system to make it productive and functional? Yes.... but that counts on leaders that actually sincerely care about the welfare of our people. That is an absurd folly to fall into.

Wealth is not a finite resource. It can be generated and created by the mind. Kill the mind, kill the generation.

Every new Candace post here is the potential for her to reach new people. That is excellent.

100% 1000% yes.

BJJ is a gift for the mind and body and soul. Not all gyms will be the same. Find one that is a fit for you, and I would bet you 1000 dollars if you stick with it for 2 or more months, it will change your life.

Also, bone density is critical as we age. Stressing your bones is good.

Last note: a bit of advice. Tap early and tap often. If you have a real pull/strain, be wise about it. Stay off of it until it heals fully. I tell you this because once you "get it" and you no longer need the motivation to stick around, you will become obsessed with bjj like the rest of us. It will be all you want to do... and then healing will be hard for you. You can still go to class. Still do drills if your injury site allows for it. You can still go and learn and put in the time. Just don't roll.

Be wise. Enjoy the ride. It is a marathon, not a race.

Went on a few cycles of the arginine salt (healthletic) company. Supposedly as high a quality as you can get that isn't subq.

After a couple months on, it made it -extremely- difficult to wake up and made me very wonky. Did not get enough for the healing factor (i'm in jiu-jitsu, and in my mid 40's... i had it long enough to have noticed improvements i feel like).

After having that reaction to it, I hung it up once I made the connection.

I can't speak for subq application in specific sites. But, for me, I'm not interested in it any more.
