Halftime adjustments look to be working. Welp, it was close for a half.
Curious where y’all had this game ranked in terms of difficulty relative to the rest of your schedule this year?

re: Dare I Ask - HGMF?

You may as well be asking the man to throw together a dissertation. HGMF is a LOT of work ... JD is getting up there in years. Be thankful for the HGMFs we did get. Some epic shite.

This aged well, Jefferson

Glad to see many of y'all still kicking.

Happy CF season, ya filthy animals.

Clemson was decimated in D today. All-American MLB sat out due to draft. As did DT. As did the #1 or #2 CB off the next draft board, who is actually fast enough to run with Brown. As did a starting safety due to the portal. The replacements? Three true freshman, one sophomore.


Now, truer than ever, bowls outside the playoffs are more or less exhibitions, which can be their own kind of entertaining, but should in no way be considered a metric for a team’s overall success that season.
Either you’re really young or you’ve blocked 2008, 2009 (loss to UGA, but 11 wins and ACC title), 2014, and 2016 from your memory bank.
Been a fan of the man since his OC days. He pulled off one of the all time greatest pranks in an OU v. Texas game by planting a fake play set list in pregame warmups to frick with Texas’ defensive calls and OU was able to go up 17-0 in the first quarter. The man genuinely had fun in his job as a coach. Hate the thought of College Football without Mike Leach.
It’s moot … Monken is a more likely candidate

Several people commented that it looked like July 4th this past weekend.

And I wasn’t meaning a sustained population for the past two weeks. The past two weekends have been insane with the nice weather.

Just a little PSA: Habersham Sheriffs Dept had cars towed at Panther Creek this past weekend because people were ignoring measures taken to limit hikers on the trail.
The lakes aren’t the only places folks have houses up here.

re: Van Halen sucks A.S.S.

Point of order: Van Halen was/is a 70s band.

Their best albums happened in the 70s.
Sadly, the founder did commit some heinous acts during the time the program was being run out of Rabun Gap, though his guilt came to light after he was accused of child molestation by a boy in Athens who worked with the founder while he (the founder) was serving a sabbatical as guest faculty with UGA’s College of Education. That all went down in 1991. After which, the community came together to take over the program (as many of them were responsible for the good work that was done here) and worked to salvage it and maintain it.
The main issue that folks up here in Rabun are concerned about RE: Atlantans coming up to their second homes, is the lack of goods in our stores for folks (we have two large chain grocery stores and two local grocers) and, more importantly, the lack of emergency healthcare available should there be a significant outbreak. Our one little hospital has two ventilators and maybe 25 beds available and is grossly understaffed. The next closest medical facility is in Habersham and they have a larger full-time population.

We’ve seen our population triple up here in the last two weeks, which is something we see every year during the summer, but not this early in the year and certainly not in the midst of a health crisis.
Because of the nature of the covenant between Foxfire and its contacts, we can’t release the audio freely. We have curated quite a bit through the podcast, which is now up to around 23 podcasts. There is other material through our blog ( LINK) and our museum app, which can be found under “Foxfire Museum” in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

We’re also putting out a lot of digital material through our Instagram and Facebook accounts, @foxfireorg.
Here’s Foxfire’s podcast on the 1918 flu epidemic. Pretty interesting to hear those folks that lived through it talk about how folks responded to crisis back then ... which certainly wasn’t making a run on toilet paper.
