re: Kiffin extension

Why couldn't he sign an extension and then leave?


I'm assuming any extension would come with a big buyout to be paid to OM if he was poached, deterring most schools from coming after him.

Ole Miss fans are the ones bringing it up every five minutes trying to convince themselves he is going to stay.


They're trying to convince themselves that they're the better program and that there's no reason for Kiffin to leave for UF.
Now let's ask a very simple question. If the roles were reversed, would UF fans be starting threads every few minutes about Kiffin possibly leaving UF for OM? :lol: Of course not, and that tells you all you need to know.

And how many trophies do you have? Being all world during those time periods must've filled the trophy cases, right?

Drinkwitz, Freeman, and Franklin are the names that make me gag, don’t want any one of them. I’m kinda at the point where it’s Kiffin or bust, but I could at least get on board and ride with most other names that are brought up. Wouldn’t be super jazzed but could talk myself into seeing what plays out.
You just wanted to post a pic of him shirtless or are you trying to imply something here? Dude is 80, we should all hope we look that good when we're 80, you probably look way worse now and I'm assuming you're decades younger.

He is the closest I have seen to the Head Ball Coach. I don't believe that he will ever coach at UF but it would be fun to watch. Heck, watching him at Ole Miss is fun. Hotty Toddy, I hope this is his year to win it all.


Couldn't agree more and I'm 100% prepared for us to not get him. Makes me very sad for the state of the UF Football program. I'm not even 100% sold on the fact that Lane would bring us titles but he'd bring the excitement and fun back to the program.
I'd just order online unless you need it immediately. BR and the surrounding area are terrible when it comes to woodworking tools/supplies.
PMC is definitely the closest thing we have to a Woodcraft or Rockler, but if you're used to going into a Woodcraft store you'll probably find it underwhelming.
I would take the time to check out Service Lumber and Brazos, they have a small selection of tools/supplies and it's worth getting familiar with what they stock if you're getting back into the hobby.

Not true.

The perception of diamond rarity is largely a product of marketing and supply-and-demand principles, where scarcity is artificially created or exaggerated to maintain high prices.

If Lagway shows the same signs of struggling against Miami I really want to believe we'll see Jones, or anyone else get some snaps. That probably won't happen based on Napier's comments this week though.

Depends on what you plan to use it for, but I think you'll find the 24" very limiting. Also, look into a track saw, they normally come with tracks and the Wen brand is supposedly a decent saw for fairly cheap.

I doubt an interim president will make sweeping changes but we can hope.
Looking at Wikipedia, he seems like a smart dude, nothing about sports though.

re: Any pepper growers here?

Posted by TomSpanks on 9/11/25 at 1:42 pm to
I don’t sell, I trade with a buddy of mine that grows super hots as well. I go through a bottle every week or so, my plants keep me stocked most of the year. My sauce is very simple, peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic, and a little citrus juice. I really like the pepper flavor/heat to come through. My buddy adds lots of other flavors, which can be good, but I feel a simple sauce is 100x more versatile.

I grow a lot of super hots, make hot sauce out of all of them. I currently have about 30 plants of the following: Reapers (red, yellow, mustard, chocolate), 7-pot primos, scorpions, death spirals, chocolate primotalis, T-Rex, orange embers, and a few more super hots. I love the heat, it hurts so good
I know Gruden is a big name but to me it seems kinda gimmicky.

I don't visit other boards much at all, are there still people out there who actually support Napier and think he's the right guy? I'll admit, I was fired up for this season........then it started.
