LSU Delirium

I believe it is way more advanced analytics than that, depends on hitter, pitcher, and situation.

I’m fairly certain the announcer on Sunday said something about a shift being on due to 2 strikes and likely an offspeed pitch coming.

2001. My freshman year. My most hated team, I dispised Tommy Tubberville.

Last game of the year, delayed due to a hurricane IIRC.

Revenge game, first home game after the infamous cigar game.

Their kicker came on at half time with our band still performing, they walked right over him and almost fought.

We rushed the field, the win sent us to the SEC Championship, where we beat a heavily favored Tennessee team. Then the Sugar Bowl to beat Illinois, ending the season in the top 10.

The beginning of the golden age of LSU football.

That’s what I think when I think about Auburn.

I think our generation’s regret will be how much time they spent staring at a screen instead of interacting with their children.

It is shocking to me to watch people be “with their children” while being completely absorbed in their social media and not actually being present.

For example, we have “movie nights” with the kids and my wife spends half the movie texting or doom scrolling, despite me constantly calling her out on it. She’s “there” but not present, and I think she will regret that one day.

So to answer your question: be present and make the most of every moment you have with them, that moment will never happen again and might be your last.

Haven't had to use this guide in ~10 years, only a 1 year bump - thought it would be longer!

Wife wants a new car this year so we will be test driving this weekend with plans to buy in the early summer. I know power has shifted to the dealers over the last few years with the lack of inventory, but seems to be shifting back, so hoping we can utilize some of the "Will Cover" guide to get a good deal.

We are preparing/budgeting and doing our research on the cars, so for now I am just looking for any updated tips on going to do test drives at a few places....I am absolutely dreading it as I hate the whole car buying process. We will bring copies of our driver's licenses and be clear on our buying timeline (So we hopefully can get in and out), but curious if there is anything else we can do to prepare and make this as painless as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you everyone, glad I asked.

Not the greatest time to check Old Trafford off the bucket list, but hopefully they will show up.

Not priced out, but I would much rather spend my money elsewhere. But they don’t care. We are witnessing the full monetization of CFB.

How much does the average fan spend on a season ticket? It is dwarfed by the corporations that own the boxes. To maximize profits, that is who they will continue to cater to.

How much does the average non-ticket holder spend in a year on their team? $100 bucks on gear? Probably less than the average gambler loses each game. That is who they will continue to cater and market to.

This is why they don’t care if the average fan goes away, they built the foundation, but now they are extracting as much money as they possibly can while trying to maintain the illusion this is still CFB “for the fans”.

It’s an entertaining game, I will still tune in for 1.5 hours of game and 2.5 hours of commercials like a good sheep. But I will never feel the passion I used to, which essentially makes CFB as I remember it dead, it’s just something on the tv if I have nothing better to do, and it’s won’t ever come back.

Getting lazier with the money laundering efforts.

Feels more like college baseball in a way.

Survive the regular season while the team meshes, hope you make post season, hope you get on a roll at the end.

The programs/coaches that will be able to mesh quicker and avoid key injuries are the ones that will win.

Impressive stuff in this thread, garden dojo is awesome and something to inspire to....thought my planters was a big undertaking :bow:

I have received my seeds! Green Magic Broccoli and Danvers 126 half long carrots! As suggested in this thread, I got some "cowopots" for the broccoli and I also received my soil analysis, progress!

More questions:
My soil analysis has 1lb nitrogen / 1k SF, 0 phosphorus, 2.1lbs potassium. 50lbs/1k of lime, pre-plant. Any fertilizer with that ratio the board would recommend? Similar question for side dress, recommended 1-0-0 ratio

I am going to try to stagger planting of the seeds, but I was going to attempt something like every 7-10 days, four consecutive times, or something so I am not just overwhelmed with a large yield at once. I have 200 carrot seeds and 100 broccoli seeds, so was just going to do my best to do 25% each time. It seems doable, but a fine needle the thread (Planting after it is too hot, harvest before it is too cold), so I may lose some but I think my family will be able to actually use more vs. trying to give it away. Any pointers or advice before I get started? I have the first batch of Broccoli in cow pots and plan do the next batch next week.
