Just like Birmingham Southern. Would not be surprised to see places like Millsaps and Rhodes die in the next 10 years.

re: Do you contribute to NIL?

Absolutely not and will never donate to NIL. College sports are a shell of what they were intended for and will enjoy watching it all burn to the ground, football especially.

temporarily driving a 2000 single cab 1500 silverado with zero bells and whistles. first couple of days it was weird not being able to bluetooth and stream during my daily commutes but I have gotten used to it. Still contemplating putting car play screen in it but most likely will not. now its just me and JOX sports talk and whatever station has the best song on.

Mo taking the selfie with the fans needs a Daniel Moore type treatment. Would buy that in a heartbeat.

Boulder sucks in the winter too it shouldn’t be too much of a difference. Not sure what the lake effect is like in Cleveland though.

Absolutely no dog in the fight here, but it’s gotta be somewhere as far away from the coast as possible. Y'all's homeowners insurance premiums are ridiculous.

re: What is alabama football gonna look like next year?

Posted by parrothead on 4/16/25 at 10:52 pm

In the mix is the best way to describe it. I would say similar to last year. With the constant evolution of the roster it will truly be a wait and see type of season. Expectation is to make the playoffs. Anything more is icing on the cake. I think Russell wins the QB battle and DeBoer will have a more dynamic offense. I know WR is a little iffy outside of Williams, as well as RB, but there is a lot of potential/on paper talent at those positions for somebody to flourish.

I love this picture. My grandpa retired from IC/IGC after 42 years. After he passed I got a random assortment of IC things from my grandma. My favorite is the high crown trucker hat with the logo on it.

re: I have a friend from Michigan. He claims to be midwestern. WTF is this shite?

they are Midwest by definition but still throws me off seeing as to how Detroit is further east than Atlanta

re: Just put in an offer on a house. Looking for some guidance on the process from here...

Strike 1. Never pay full price for anything.

Went 0 for 5 on offering under on houses in 35242. 6th offer was accepted at $2500 over asking via escalation clause. Not sure where you are but my local housing market is ridiculous and if you’re trying to move it’s going to be a tough road to continue going under asking. We did go over but they are also replacing the hot water heater and doing some septic stuff so ultimately it’s a wash.

re: T or F: A woman’s mother is a close prediction of what she will look like at that age.

Posted by parrothead on 4/14/25 at 9:58 am

Waiting to see how this plays out in my world. If my wife looks like her mom, that is completely fine by me. My sister and I look just like our dad, which means we also look like his sister. For the record they are Irish twins. Will be interesting to see how it plays out as far as if she’s more like our mom or more like my dad’s side of the family.
