14.8 million viewers for that A&M game at 11 AM central. 70% less viewers for the Oregon game in primetime.

I had no idea dumping a bunch of money into SLV in August would end up being my best investment of the year


I covered the number every way on the roulette table this year. SIL, SLV, GLD, GDX, GDXJ and $30k of physical assets.
My SIL, GDX, and GDXJ are exploding this morning. All up 4.5%.
Every year I get excited to watch LSU WBB. Then I finally catch one of the big games and am reminded that women’s basketball is legitimately hard to watch even if you support one of the teams.

Here’s my question. Why do you care?

Based on your OP…Unless you are looking to take out loans for real estate purchases, or a business, your credit score is irrelevant.

Your house is paid off. Your cars are paid off. My advice would be to not purchase another house or vehicle until you can do so in cash. Given that you aren’t making payments every month, you probably can save up to do that.

I’m not anti-debt in a Dave Ramsey way, but you are in a position where it’s probably unnecessary for you to access it.
$70 here we come.

I am going sell my remaining paper silver holdings at $90. I think things are going get really hairy when we hit triple digits.

Got beat at the snap instantly just about every play I picked to watch him.


He is one of the most poorly graded tackles in the NFL.

I’m shocked he’s still in the league. He was so slow off the snap in college, and he’s still slow off the snap in the NFL.

I sat next to him on a flight from Atlanta to Panama City. I had no idea who he was at the time. He wasn’t wearing any Georgia gear.

He drank four mimosas on a 35 minute flight at 2:30 on a Wednesday while watching third down blitz packages from NFL teams on his iPad. Granted I was flying home from my work trip and he was maybe headed to a vacation. So probably not as weird as it seemed at the time.

I am 42, but I thought to myself man this guy looks really young. He was also dressed very sloppily. I had made up a story in my mind that he must be an analyst or advanced scout for the Cleveland Browns or something.

When we were getting off the plane, I noticed his name tag on his bag so I looked him up and realized he was the Georgia DC.

Definitely would not have guessed that. We talked briefly when we were sitting down. From his general demeanor and behavior, he doesn’t strike me as a head coach.

That’s not true for many employer plans.


I was unaware of that. But even if you can, why would you? It’s such an advantage to have the freedom to invest your portfolio.

I feel like I will be losing money if I rollover the money in the account to new employers plan


That’s not how this works. You cannot roll your money into your new employers 401(k) plan. You will roll your money into an independent IRA.

This is actually one of my favorite things about changing jobs. You get to roll your money into an IRA tax-free, and the IRA will give you substantially more control over how you invest the money than your employer sponsored 401(k) program. You will be able to purchase the full range of stocks, ETF, and mutual funds, not just the ones that are included in your program.

If you sign the contract then you’re a big boy and you have to fulfill it.
Yes, but if he loses to Oklahoma is Alabama staying with him?
Oh, that hook is so shiny? I hate you for the inevitable ruination of this thread.
Burrow deserves some of the blame. Every time, one of his skill guys comes up for a contract, he pushes the franchise to max them out.
Who do we got? Barry. Calvin Johnson. Joe Thomas.

Look … I want them to win. I’m not a cheer against the coach guy. But if you want me to believe, I’m just not there yet. Let me see something close to .500 in league play.

Forgive as I don’t follow recruiting all that closely, but this guy just came across my radar at the state championship.
