I work at Walmart. My wife is a manager of the digital department of my store as well.

Let’s get a few things straightened out.

1. Walmart does not pay minimum wage. Not by a long shot. I live in rural Alabama and started at $14 and am at $15 3 years later. My wife makes $24 plus bonuses. So no “minimum wage” worker is picking your stuff

2. Walmart didn’t get rid of butchers because “they wanted raises.” It was because they got together and decided to unionize. That u word is a big no no there.

3. The parking spots have nothing to do with expecting another pandemic. It’s about the future of the business. It wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted to eventually close all the stores for walk in traffic. There has been no mention of anything like that, but they learned a lesson from K-Mart. They are constantly looking towards tomorrow rather than today. They are expecting pickup to take a majority of their business moving forward. This is why when stores get remodeled (as mine recently did) many get a huge room built and tons of dedicated parking spaces.


A lot of what’s on the app isn’t actually shipped and sold by Walmart. Like Amazon, it consists of a lot of 3rd party vendors. They are planning on using store back rooms and digital rooms to hold select 3rd party items their AI suggests are sold most often per area.

It’s simply thinking about tomorrow’s market. They don’t want to get caught flat footed like K-Mart

I just hate how we went from a Ferrari to a Pinto overnight.

Not the biggest fan of how Nepo-Stevie got his job.

We need to go all in on Billy Donovan and keep our momentum in basketball while we have it. While I’m no fan of Steven getting the HC job like he did, and I’d hate to move on after 1 season but you don’t have HOF coaches come available everyday

One of those is not like the other

One of the two is not like the other.

I’ve got no dog in this fight but I find that very interesting coming from a Texas fan.

Bobby Hurley is my all time favorite college basketball player. That said he wasn’t anything to write home about at Arizona State.

If I were AD my call 1,2, and 3 are to Will Wade. Call 4 is to Bill Armstrong at
McNeese. He took them to 28-5 this year. He was a long time assistant at Ole Miss, and was essentially Wades #2 at LSU, but more importantly (to me) he went to my high school and was one grade above me in the 90s.

We went and got another system guy. System guys use their players.

Um this is a bit short sighted. Yes, he played for Golesh previously. But the dude was one of the top transfer QBs in the country that FOR ONCE we don’t have to talk ourselves into supporting. Be it JF3, TJ Finley, Calzone, Thorne, or former 5* plus Jackson Arnold who was just in a bad situation at Oklahoma with backups to walkons on the OL and waterboys playing WR.

No we brought in a kid who did something only 11 other QBs in the history of the game have accomplished. Someone with a proven track record in the offense we will be running.

Now as you said we are firmly in the crapper, so who would you rather try and climb out of that crapper with? Someone who doesn’t have the first clue how to run the offense but has the measurables with 1 start against a terrible Mercer team, or someone who has intimate knowledge of the offense who has put up better numbers than any qb we have had in our history? Yes it was mainly vs g6 but dude went into the swamp and bent the gators over like a red headed step child and played national runner up Miami better than any QB all season including the Heisman Trophy winner…

So saying Golesh just picked his players is a bit short sided when it comes to the QB position. Brown could have gone and started for close to 90% of all teams out there.

Brown is a bonafide STUD not just a “system guy.”

Kid Rock and my wife are both from Grosse Pointe Michigan which is like the Beverley Hills of Detroit. His blue collar white trash schitck is so old. His dad owned around 10 car dealerships

Where someone is “from” is irrelevant. He has a home in Nashville, Alabama, and Michigan. He doesn’t spend most of his time in Michigan and hasn’t in years.

Have you ever lived across country? You pick up the local dialect pretty quickly no matter how much you fight it. When I moved to Oregon I picked up things I still to this day use even though I’m back in Alabama. My wife from Oregon sounds like a native from Alabama in less time than kid rock has lived primarily in Nashville.

So… you either don’t understand how dialect works when moving to different areas of the country or you are pushing an agenda

USC - 65% (-19%)

Not exactly fair to put this on him as he took over after Pete Carrol. Carrol left USC because he knew they were about to be hammered by the NCAA for the whole Reggie Bush saga. USC was charged with lack of institutional control, including a two-year postseason ban, and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years.

He had both hands tied behind his back at USC.
