OP: congrats on the new Jazzmaster. I really like JMs and offsets in general.

True about Squiers--I think they're a great bang for the buck especially the Classic Vibes and Paranormals. The Offset Tele S/J and CV Starcaster are two of my favorite guitars.

Other than the ginger mullet and Bernard, it's a veritable who's-that of college football players.

I really don't know what to think. I just don't ever get my hopes up anymore. Several years of one and done in the playoffs will do that to you.

Well, he'll be NFL ready after being at Iowa under Kirk Ferentz. Guy knows how to prepare lineman for the NFL. Has to have a good work ethic. They work the crap out of them at Iowa. Physical blocker. Should fit that hard nosed Steeler mentality.

Thanks for the info. I just finished reading that ESPN article and he seems really into doing his own thing and has excelled at whatever he's tried while also being a good dude.

Drafted a whole bunch of reaches and projects. For now no starters and all backups. Just awful. Bernard the only one who will contribute this year. So far.

I was gobsmacked when I saw this on stack at a nearby Spec's location here in Houston for $53. It was my favorite bourbon several years ago, but I gave up chasing bottles years ago as it was so hard to find without playing the stupid allocated bottle bs games. It's a fantastic sipper, along with Old Forrester 1910 and 1920. I believe Eagle Rare is a little easier to obtain these days as well and that's also another nice sipper along with lines of EH Taylor Small Batch.

If you're open to Scotch, Bunnahabhain 12 ($50) is the bees knees for me. I also dig Glenmorangie Lasanta. They're both pretty easy drinking and have a nutty/toffee like influence from being aged in sherry casks. If you're on a budget, Naked Malt ($30) from Famous Grouse is nice as well.

If you're open to peated (smoky) Scotch, Benromach 10 is really nice for around $45. Same for Ardbeg Wee Beastie for the same price point.

For Irish whiskey, Redbreast 12 ($58). It's sherry cask aged and is an easy sipper.

I'm a sucker for sherry casked whiskies.

Thanks, man. Glad you enjoy it, too. Was having some Naked Malt, but I wanted to celebrate with some smoke.

JYD!

If we were to ever "drop down" a level, you would likely see a huge drop in enrollment.

I know you know this, but not all of our students are that studious and serious about their degrees. Big time athletics/campus life is a draw for many students in addition to whatever they're studying.
