NIL is not the issue. Its the portal. Hell, I believe the taking violence out of the game/targeting has done way more to hurt CFB than NIL.

If there were no portal, NIL could be more accurately budgeted and it would be more of a long term contract than year to year deals.

So any of these brands with newish 48v batteries is fine and I just top them off with water?


Get a cart with a single 48V lithium battery. Most new carts come with them. They need to be charged less often and for less time. They have more amperage on demand (Cart goes faster while syphoning off less juice) They weigh ~100 lbs. Four 12V lead acid (what people are calling "water" batteries) weigh over 80 lbs each. They also last infinitely longer. You will be replacing one or all of your lead acid batteries n 5-10 years.

This is a good place to start. They are expensive, but have great customer service and only sell cart specific batteries (not a huge deal, but I would be careful of the Chinese lithium batteries on Amazon)

not much will top Tiger 2019 or Ben Hogan returning from an almost deadly car wreck to win the 1950 US Open


I think Tom Watson winning the British at 59 years old would've topped both. It would've been his 8th major and 26 yrs after his 7th.
It has been unplayable since they closed the old front 9.

(Not really, but it feels that way)
At 6300 yards without a lot of forced carries I could see a bogey golfer shooting 31 over par. I think it is safe to assume the greens were watered and not cut and rolled since Sunday morning.

I think it is indeed the type of course, when playing up, an 18 handicap (and according to Watt himself, he is an 18 handicap these days) would be able to scrape it around in a hundred strokes as a low handicap golfer is more penalized by hitting approach shots to the green while the high handicapper isn't getting on in two anyway.

This an article from 7 years ago with him supposedly as a 21 handicap. And if the guy does not even know his handicap or makes one up, I'm not trusting him to know to play the ball down either.

How the frick do people like you exist as a supposed fan of baseball? The best regular season team in the history of MLB lost 25% of their games. Do you actually live and die with every single game?

This is it exactly. Name, Image, Likeness that's it. Can't be tied to play or performance. The athletes have all of the power currently.


The NCAA still has the power to sanction schools/players for violating NCAA policy. Policy states it cant be pay for play. By his actions, of holding out and demanding more money, it seems (seems being the key word as he may just claim he wants a better NIL deal in another city?) that Imaleava has violated that rule. The NCAA needs to declare him ineligible and let him take it to the courts. Otherwise they will not exist in a few years.
It is weird because in a way, they are responsible for its growth to start with. As a new network in the early 80's who had no broadcast rights with any major sports, their wall to wall coverage of the college world series put the sport on the map.

As for the sport not being that popular nationally, that didn't stop them from pushing the subsidized WNBA down our throats.

re: Morgan starting in AAA

From a very selfish perspective I was hoping he would be in AA to start the season. The Rays AA team in Montgomery is playing at Biloxi in mid-May and was hoping to catch him in action that week.

The Astronaut DeWayne Scales at LSU is definitely in the Top 10, NBA Career wasn't much,


Scales was 40 years ahead of his time. 6'9, could leap out of the gym, and had a nice jumper that wouldve translated to todays NBA if it had been a thing back then. But 20 foot jump shots were something forwards just were not doing in that era.

He hired an agent in the 1980 season and he convinced Scales to showcase the jump shot in the Louisville game and he shot us out of the tournament and bolted to the NBA. All the talent in the world but an absolute loony selfish prick of a player and person.
Ive got no issue with a porta potty for the players.

I draw the line at them having to stand in line and listen to a shrimper from Galliano tell them they need to keep that back elbow up. I mean, its a couple of hundred bucks to get one for the season for visitor players only.

Two days after the morning cursing, supposed no lights incident the confrontation happened.

Two days later he was that crazy about it....


My guess (and that's all it is) is he went thru the bridge pass on plane to make a point to the boats fishing without lights on, his clients jumped his arse about endangering everyone's life and he was embarrassed enough to go back looking for a confrontation days later.

I’m almost 50 and when I was 20 we thought we could take on a whole boatload of 40yr old old farts!!!


Same here. Then again, at 20 we walked into the Outrigger on Grand Isle and thought we could take on a boatload of insane acting 40 yr old farts and got our dicks knocked in the dirt.
I love the way everyone is freaking out, yelling at dude to back away back away and he just climbs out of the cart like he pulled up to the tee box and is deciding what club to hit.

Probably best not to leave the cart parked on him after that.

I am old enough to remember when the only two beach bars in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach were the Pink Pony and the Flora-Bama.

Which also explains why I have never heard this song or knows who sings it, even after I saw its photo.

no Larry Legend comparisons?


He is half the shooter and twice the leaper. He is quicker but not the passer. He missed a crucial game winner that Bird makes in his sleep: Hell Bird makes that shot today at 65 yrs old. But he is white I guess.

My comp is Scottie Pippen
