re: Saw this elsewhere about Grubb's early scripting

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?

I have 50% in a company managed investment direction. The other 50% I manage and is invested in the above stocks. The 40k represents ~25% of my 401k balance.

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?

Rankin is now 2.5% back with only 16% counted..
re: Dems underperforming in GA

Exactly. Rankin is only down 13% with 3% of total votes in and most of those being red areas. Still a looong way to go.

Just voted in Floyd County (6:45 est). The total ballot count was 692 when I was submitting my ballot. I would call it a semi-rural part of the county. Make of that what you will.

BB, I don’t know who you are or where you live but if that comes to fruition I will find you and buy you a beer. Maybe even two.

Name recognition is easy to get when out of state boosters are funding your campaign. Didn’t Ossoff have the most out of state money to ever fund a campaign at the time when he won? I’d love to see a law passed where out of state money can’t be used for state election campaigns.
Purdue won more counties but Ossoff carried the metro areas. Not much cross over is needed in that instance.
The fact Ossoff and “Rev” Warnock won the senate election in the first place is embarrassing. Then again when you run a UGA legacy RB and Loeffler as their opposition what do you expect?

Same. 300 shares with an average cost of $60. Initial buy in was in the $30’s. Should have loaded the boat but I was hesitant because of AUPH (sorry Bayou lol). Had planned to buy a little to just keep it on my radar. I bought NVDA, NBIS, and CLS at the same time. CLS has been the winner but I went more heavy in NBIS. Pleased with both.

This is where I’m torn. As a believer I know we lose the battles but win the war. The bible clearly states that in the end all believers will be persecuted. I use to take that to mean the Muslim takeover worked. You could argue that it’s an entirely different group. Point is we will lose this battle here on earth until the Lord shows up. Makes everything going on seem pointless.

Yep. There’s never going to be an elected official who comes in changes everything. Only way to stop this is We The People and we can’t even get along.

More of this starts happening and we’ll see changes. It’s called accountability and it’s been missing for a long time.
