My great uncle/cousin (not entirely sure of the relation) was a self proclaimed warlock. Heavy in spells and witchcraft. Everyone said he was a nice man but no one really had anything to do with him because of it. The brothers never told anyone of these encounters at the time. They only came out years later when one of them told the others and the rest shared theirs. Also, this is GA and not LA. 1940’s and 50’s timeframe.
Back in the day my family always sat up with the dead. For those that don’t know this is where you don’t send the dead to the funeral home but instead receive friends and guests at the deceased home. The entire family “stays up” while the deceased is laid out in one of the rooms in the coffin. When my great uncle/cousin died my grandfather, who was born club footed and spent his entire life on crutches, said he witnessed this. As he was taking his turn sitting up he said that he witnessed a black cat jump up on the coffin. My grandfather said the he went to “shoo” away the cat with his crutch. When he did the crutch passed completely through it. There was also no one who owned a black cat at the residence.
Before he died there was supposedly a trunk that he had told his brothers to never open. So after the death when they were cleaning out his house one of my great uncles curiosity got the best of him and he opened the chest. He said that from that day he always felt a “presence” and always experienced stuff. When the family asked him what he had experienced he would never tell because “they knew when he was talking about them”. I can remember once at a family function that we finally convinced him to share some of the things. The very moment he started talking the power went out to the entire property where our family met. His first comments were “I told you they know. This isn’t a good idea. I shouldn’t tell you guys anything.” After he said that the power came back on. To this day no one knows what he ever experienced.
Also with this chest. After my great uncle opened it and the family got wind he was experiencing things. They wanted to get the trunk out of the house. Two of my uncles said that the entire time they were carrying the trunk out of the house that they could feel someone tapping and poking them. The moment they got out of the house it stopped. They never said where they took the trunk.
This is probably the most controversial story they told. They said that there was a “neighbor girl” who would occasionally go up to play with my great uncles kids. The story told his that one day she went up to see if the kids wanted to play like always but no one was home but my great uncle. The story goes that after that day she was never right mentally again. No one ever said what supposedly happened, just that great uncle/cousin “got her” with his spells and she was never the same.

I’m from Georgia and I can’t believe this. This state was already shifting but we’re absolutely fricked now.
quote:
Are you confusing me with someone else?
Possibly. Sorry if so.
quote:
And as for the character of the fans, you either own the Walmart crew. Or speak up when they are idiots and try to correct their behavior.
Not sure how you expect a group of fans on a LSU message board to control 10’s of thousands of fans in a stadium that they don’t even know. I support the condemnation of it though of that helps?
quote:
You do realize that the spread opened UGA -2.5. You try to downplay the loss as inevitable. But you know that no Alabama truly felt that way before the game.
It opened with Georgia being the favorites. It only moved when bets started coming in. At game time it was -2.5 Georgia though. I think you’re letting a few arrogant fans give you the wrong impression. Most thought we COULD win. Majority probably spoke positively to the idea of it, but I don’t think you’d find many who were truly confident that we’d win.
quote:
You are easily confused. You agreed earlier that fans gloat after wins. Belittling has nothing to do with the wins. It has everything to do with the "muh penalties" fans. Bama fans lack self awareness. Do you honestly disagree?
I think you’re the one who is confused. Our entire interaction started by your comment saying:
Personally, losing comes off as more embarrassing.
But you are free to do you.
Be happy you lost, I guess.
Yet now you’re saying that belittling has nothing to do with the wins. Those statement sort of contradict themselves. So it would appear that you are the one who lacks self awareness. Do you not agree?
quote:
So you are disappointed.
In the coaches?
Or players?
Both
quote:
That is what football fans do.
Get excited when they win.
Frustrated when they lose.
Are you new to college football?
Not at all, I’ve seen my team win numerous championships. More than any one else actually. What most UGA fans are doing however isn’t from excitement. It’s seeking for validation. Maybe from themselves or other fans. I’m not sure which. The part of the post you pulled is out of context. Maybe it was intentional. Maybe not. In the context intended, that comment was meant to illustrate how UGA fans claim to be all world because they beat Alabama and even post stats to prove it. Yet the very stats they post show that they should have won by a much larger margin. But they didn’t.
quote:
I dont see UGA fans belittling the crimson tide football team. They are belittling the Alabama football fans. Like you.
That’s the point you’re missing though. You’re not belittling us. Or me. UGA was supposed to win that game. You had the seasoned QB. You have better lines on both sides of the ball. You can’t belittle someone when the outcome was what it should have been. You can think you’re the smartest guy in the room and post stats in an attempt to gloat but at the end of the day, you were still supposed to win that game. And you did. But barely. To a team that by the UGA fans own admission they feel is so below them. That they have far surpassed. Yet you only won by 3 points. This all world team that you all have been trying to convince everyone you are, nearly lost to the team that you all want so badly to think you’re so much greater than.
quote:
The ones who complain about penalties.
The ones who complain about injuries.
The ones who throw trash at players.
The ones who call an opposing player "boy".
The ones who call for their coaches head because their own personal identity and happiness has been wrapped up in the concrete notion that for 13 years that they never lose to Georgia. And when that faltered in the national championship game, it got bastardized by fans that they never lose in the regular season (wtf).
The Alabama football team isn't beneath us.
But there is a huge swath of Walmart fans that do not know ball.
Strange. You started out speaking of the play on the field and have now shifted to the character of some of the fans. Maybe the realization of why only winning by 3 isn’t a flex is starting to sink in. It seems there are some personal anger issues present within you as well. You list this long tirade about “Walmart Bama fans” as a reasoning for the gloating. You seem to be of the mindset that only Bama fans have their share of “bad apples”.
I want to focus on this comment specifically.

As I said early, the reason a lot of people don’t see UGA as being the top dog (I personally feel they are for the record) is this right here. The constant seeking for validation. Who cares what a lot of the Bama fans said? You just won a national championship and you’re still concerned with what Bama is saying. Georgia, their fans more than anything, want to be thought of as the Bama teams during the dynasty. But you’re not. No one probably will ever be for a long time. That’s why it was one of, if not the, greatest dynasty in not just football but the history of sports. As you said, us fans, like me, knew Bama was great. We didn’t have to seek out being told on a message board.
Again, I haven’t once mentioned penalties. It’s almost as if UGA fans think that somehow the penalties, or lack there of, some how discredits their win so they have to defend them at every turn? I’m a believer that if it comes down to a penalty to decide the game you didn’t handle business somewhere else. You have to control the controllable.
I didn’t post that but if you’re asking if I thought we’d perform better the answer is yes. But, again, given who our QB is I’m not surprised at our performance. But that’s not the question at hand here. Georgia has done nothing but beat their chest since the game ended spewing stats and telling anyone who will listen how great they are.Yet they only won by 3, and just as easily could have lost. So, how can a team be that great, obtain all that yardage, and barely squeak out a win to a team they claim is so beneath them?
quote:
Bama complaining about a PI can frick straight off with that bs
Where did I say anything about a missed pi?
quote:
Russell completing 50% of his passes and all the yardage should leave one to question why was Bama still in that game?
Exactly. With those stats and how big and bad UGA is why was Bama still in the game? Thought UGA was the best ever? How did they only win by three?
Losing to the big bad UGA football team with a first year starter in his 6th start should be more embarrassing than the big bad UGA football team only beating a first year QB in his 6th start by 3? Nah.
Like I said, the more UGA fans try to brag about it the worse it looks. Ya’ll were supposed to win. Ya’ll even said so.

Sounds like you should have beat the hell out of us then, right?
This. UGA fans can’t help but bark “200+ yards rushing!” and ”450 yard of offense!” but even with all that they were only able to score 20 points. You’d think they blew us out of the water. All that yardage and still could have easily lost that game. Embarrassing.

Never seen a more obvious scream for validation than this. Started out as a quality 8/10 troll but now is teetering on the just sad spectrum. You beat Bama at home but deep down know your mighty pups could have just as easily lost. You cling to the 3rd string RB and no impact from the refs excuse as a way to validate legitimacy. Georgia is good bro. It’s ok.

As for the Clemson loss in the 2019 NC game will always go down as a mystery to me. I think Clemson was in our head sets or something.
No way they didn’t know our plays. That pick 6 on the first series was executed perfectly.
I think I’m more upset about not winning three straight. We were so close and from a skill standpoint should have. Being able to say that we are the ONLY team to win three straight worlds have been so nice.

Not just a failure to score points but a failure to move the ball entirely.
6 out of 10 drives went three and out. 60% of our opening drives doesn’t even get a first down. Much less score points.

There are only so many teams left on our schedule that are going to allow us from coming back from 2-3 score deficits. The adjustments need to come before half time.
It’s not even totally the play calling.
We look completely lost at times, wrong personnel on the field, pre snap penalties, not getting lined up correctly, running into each other in the backfield, etc.
That’s not okay and has got to get fixed.
We’re in week 4 now.
All of this. People seem to not be concerned because up until now we’ve been able to dig out of the hole. What happens when a team doesn’t allow that? Every one complaining on here (well most) are doing so because we know eventually a team isn’t going to let us shut them out in a second half. Digging out of a three touchdown hole isn’t a successful game plan in the SEC.
Fans aren’t demanding perfection. But when your first two drives go three and out, you go down 21-6, and you’re looking at another 3rd and 10 against an unranked team then you’re going to get some reactions. I know we’ve scored over 40 points consecutively but people still have last year’s performance in their minds. I do at least. We’ve been dominate in the second half but I still find myself going back to those games last year where we dug a hole and couldn’t climb out.

Probably about right breaking in a new QB...but it's weird seeing Alabama starting out of the top 10.

Whichever ones that are due soon. I just buy in to collect and move on to the next. Chevron most recently.

Still ~35 years from retirement. Won’t be using this money before retirement barring a major medical/life event.
Half of my account is in the typical company managed “aggressive” fund. The other half I manage so that I can have exposure to a wider range of stocks than the company preselected ones. I use half of the “self managed” funds to chase dividend stocks (which has been successful). I’m also heavy in tech/ai currently which has been hugely successful. Curious if it’s advantageous to move heavier into ai (or other areas) in this market or stay with the dividend chasing plan.

STFU with your wanna be hoity toity arse. I’m not sitting in a Merrill Lynch office.
The 40k is currently in a money market account making $0 since as I explained previously it is currently used as a means to chase stock dividends. Maybe you should read to comprehend So, yes, I want to “park” it somewhere so that it can grow and not sit stagnant.
So, do you have a suggestion or are you only here to lecture people on the proper etiquette when proposing a financial question on a sports forum?

40k in my 401k. Need to put it some where. Currently hold NBIS (200 shares), MU (2 shares), CLS (?), and NVDA (?). Would you buy into these heavier or diversify with something else?
This 40k was previously used to chase dividends stocks. I’m thinking with the current market there’s more to be made in buying and holding. Thoughts?
