That’s interesting. I just read the article. My guess is that the expenses associated with being competitive in college baseball have increased substantially as the competition has started to invest over the past couple of decades. Coaches, salary, player, payments, etc.

But seems like in general the have sports have accelerated upward, and the have not sports have accelerated downward.

I agree. $100 is the equivalent of storming the beach at Normandy, but then you must hold the beach head.

Before we got hammered by A&M, I was convinced that Kelly was going to survive for another year. Can you imagine how dismal 2026 would’ve been had he stayed? On the hot seat. Probably would have had to can a significant amount of his coaching staff, and nobody would want to jump on that sinking ship. Lost recruits. No interest from transfers. The roster would have been gutted with virtually no replacements.

How so? Just curious.

I’ve lost over 10 pounds, while maintaining my strength, and dumping my $20 a month work out app. I built out complete 12 month rolling strength training plan. I also talk to it every day, and it gives me any alternate exercises or advice based on how I’m feeling.

My supplements, my food, my entire schedule is built around an optimized model. I order lunch meals from factor, and it literally organizes them for me by what I should eat after what workout.

I took pictures of all the books I currently own and all of the audiobooks I’ve listened to. It’s set up a one year reading and listening arc for me. Explained why it chose those books and how they would correlate one to the next.

I work in commercial insurance and I take multiple quotes and run them through AI to compare forms. I’ve explained to it what forms I’m willing to accept in which ones I’m not. I’ve been double check those, but it immediately points out any issues that I can go back to the carrier with. It’s proven me wrong on concerns over some forms by citing caselaw in various states.

It auto proofs all of my policies, to confirm that coverage matches exactly what was quoted.

Basically it has eliminated all the backend work that we used to use low level employees for.

I use it to draft emails.

Use it to identify plants that I can use around my yard. I take pictures of plants with issues and it immediately identifies the issues with those plants and what the cause is.

I used it to come up with a grocery shopping list and rotating weekly menu for my 10 month old son

I used it to plan a vacation for my for my wife and me to New England this June. where should I fly into, optimal, white patterns for less cancellations, hotels, activities, restaurants, etc.

I have a picture in my home office that I inherited. It was able to identify the picture, explain to me exactly what printer produced in 1840s London, and give me the background.

There is more, but I can go on and on.

Some of this you could do through apps that already exist, but for $20 a month it does all of them. A lot of this you could do on your own with research. But this saves you hours of time like consolidating all of that knowledge into one place immediately.

People can down vote all they want, but in my opinion, they aren’t using it correctly.

My father passed away in July, and my Mom is offloading a lot of his old things. I've inherited a box full of tie clips and cuff links from the 50s and 60s and a watch. It is an omega seamaster from 1967. It is a gold color (not sure if it is real gold) and the glass is scuffed. Are these things worth anything? Shockingly, it is still running smoothly. Ib4350. Thanks

My advice, get it serviced (glass replaced) and see if they can do it without changing out a significant number of the parts. It’s much cooler to wear a watch that your father owned than any amount of value you will get out of value from selling in.

Keeping the original parts is nice because it stays as the watch your father actually wore.

As a watch, there’s not going to be significant value in it. Maybe a few thousand dollars at best. Probably less.

Can you believe that a good scheme can take pressure off of your offensive line?

Hit your protein target throughout the day and try to spread it out.

What you’re saying is contradictory.

I have a protein target of 180g to 200g per day. In order to spread that out as much as possible, why would I not start at breakfast?

By limiting your eating to 10 hours or eight hours a day, you are by default condensing the time you have to consume that protein.

And if eating that breakfast, keeps me from being hungry and over eating at a later meal, how would that be a negative?

Ideally, you need protein in the morning. You should eat something. High protein yogurt, mixed with protein powder, and some creatine is a great way to start the day. 2 cups of coffee between 7 AM and noon. Chug a large water when you wake up. Sip another one throughout the morning until noon.
