Ha not a lot of variety in the picks for
top 6-8 finishers. Crazy how quick they all fell into tiers


Hy man Ollie is taking me to the podium this week!

Seriously though, I want a playoff berth within the first three years. That seems reasonable


You might be the only reasonable LSU fans I've seen. Most of em will want to burn it down if he's not in the playoffs by year 2. Not a shot to LSU fans per se just the expectations are so high right now.

I do think he gets it done at LSU. However it goes, it will be interesting to watch.

Edit, my apologies. There's a few more reasonable ones in the thread.

Companies like NBIS and IREN should not be affected by the hyperscalers as much as they are, when you think about it. Investors are waiting for AI profits. NBIS/IREN are selling picks and shovels. They will make money even if the hyperscalers don't strike gold right away.


Goes all the way back (at least) to the California gold rush. You make money by mining the miners.

And everything he just said goes out the window when Kentucky calls.


Oh, sorry, that was last year.


$13.19 after hours. Looking to get a tat.

Rumors coming out that Mulkey is interested.


I'm on board. She just needs to be willing to take an 80% pay cut.
1- No clue

2 - 99% sure he was on the bench.

In as well. Let's ride! (autonomously)
As a certified current blueblood, not offended.
Weird way to get to 3-3. I assumed 2-1 vs UK and 1-2 vs UF. But what a great weekend!

Holy hyperbole batman!
It sounds wild, but there are real biological reasons someone can reach 7'9"—it almost always comes down to hormones and timing.
?? The main cause: growth hormone overload
Most extreme height cases are due to a condition called Gigantism.
The body produces too much growth hormone (GH) during childhood
Usually caused by a pituitary tumor (non-cancerous)
Since the growth plates in bones are still open ? bones keep growing longer than normal
?? Result: the person just keeps getting taller… and taller
?? After puberty: a related condition
If the same hormone issue happens after growth plates close, it becomes:
Acromegaly
This doesn’t make you taller, but it enlarges:
hands
feet
jaw
facial features
?? Real example
The tallest widely recognized person in modern history:
Robert Wadlow
Height: 8'11"
Cause: overactive pituitary gland
He never stopped growing
?? It’s not just “being tall”
People this tall usually deal with serious issues:
Joint and bone stress
Heart strain
Circulation problems
Shorter life expectancy (in many cases)
So while it seems cool, it’s actually a medical condition, not just genetics or “good luck.”
?? Quick simple version
Someone gets to 7'9" because:
Their body produces way too much growth hormone
It happens before puberty ends
Their bones never get the signal to stop growing
Georgia surprises me only having played 9 teams. Figured with this run they'd have quite a bit more.

Haas announce they will unveil a Godzilla-themed livery for the upcoming Japanese GP


I need a die cast of this.
I know quite a bit about this area and what's going on around there. In the last 10 years, there's been a large pharma plant go operational, a huge META data center go operational and across interstate 20 is the Rivian plant that may one day be operational. So there's a lot going on off this one exit.

I could see major issues with water and sanitation if the detention center also goes operational. Completely different than the requirements of a shipping warehouse. Not saying it can't get done, just a lot more due diligence and maybe independent infrastructure is needed.
I hope this leads to CNO not being coveted by any other programs and thus retires he from Alabama in 20 years.

Rent DVC points. There are many websites you can get this done. You can stay at a deluxe level resort for moderate level resort price.


This is the answer. And I rent points out and can give availability and pricing. Not trying to rent through here but can give you an accurate comparison.
Well, a lot of the crowd is leaving
