It's really sad what's happening in MN to the innocent citizens, but it's a self-inflicted wound by the city & state administrators. Yeah, sure insurance will cover business losses (after payment of the deductible) due to the arson & looting but then what follows? Increased rates and slim to zero chance of prevention of future incidents if the police force is defunded or disbanded. What rational business owner would stay & rebuild in such a location?

Just now saw this thread. What kind of vehicle do you own? Toyota vehicles with soy-based covering for wiring I have a 2017 Rav4 that I took in for some scheduled maintenance awhile back and the mechanic noted that there seemed to be some chewing evident on some of the wiring -- he said it was mice. I was very surprised to say the least. I mixed some ammonia & water in a spray bottle & started liberally spraying figuring that the smell would discourage them. Would have to do it 2-3 times a week in the evening after parking the car. Apparently it works because I haven't had any more reports of chewing since.

Very sad to hear. Although, when I read earlier that he had been hospitalized for kidney problems AND tested positive for Covid ... I couldn't help but think that the end could be near. Prayers for his family & the AU family. He won't be forgotten. War Eagle, Coach & you were totally right about how long it takes to beat uat -- 60 minutes and not 1 second more(!)

Abso-freakin-lutely! That would be the premier starting DL ever -- Fairly in the middle, with Brown & Rocker on the ends. Fire the coach who even mentions benching or cutting.

Congrats to both of you for raising a fine, young man capable of making rational decisions for his future. And ... you're right about being a parent too. When you've been taking care of them their whole lives and then suddenly -- WHAM -- you realize you have to take a step back because they've grown into adulthood. Terrifying & awesomely conflicted feelings at the same time!

Watch to the very end. Minor language warning ... for some, for others ... highly appropriate!

"Barry" tv series starring Bill Hader. If you're into binge watching dark humor, I recommend this one. The premise is a little off the wall: disillusioned hit man wanting to get out of the business and into acting, but Bill Hader makes it work. The plot twists results in some LOL absurd situations. Give it a try.

This is especially true when the mediots powers-that-be that decide these things just up & decided not to award a NC at all that year(!) Pure cowardice.

Very true. In my playing days (long gone!) hitting someone hard enough to "decleat" them was not only encouraged but celebrated. Knowing what we know now about concussions ... ... Yikes.

Minor correction, Tigerbelle: it’s not “for almost 70 years” — the corruption at uat goes back at least 94 years. Reference the Classics Forum with the William Bradford Huie article from the 1941 Collier’s magazine where he documents his disgust at the abuses in the football program from the previous 15 years. Stuff like that probably didn’t start in 1926 like some kind of Big Bang event, but we just don’t have any established testimony to to support the speculation. Still, we’re approaching the 100 year anniversary ... so, there’s that(!)

No video but there's this testimonial from some guy named Favre:

1st round draft pick in the top 5 -- should get a sweet deal out of it. Good for Tua. There's no question about his past demonstrated talent level. There is, however, a huge question mark about his durability going forward. He may be declared fully healed by his doctor(s) but IMHO Miami took quite the gamble on drafting him. Guess they're trying to make up for not getting Drew Brees with his surgically repaired shoulder back in the day.

Oh man, speaking of memories — I was in Lake Tahoe in the spring of 2004 and walked into the Caesar’s sports bar just to see what the odds were: AU was at 100 to 1 to win it all. So I put down a $20 bet. I still have the ticket. So close!

"Tiger Balm" Arena: website I think their slogan, "Pain Happens Suffering is Optional" might work in a venue where visitors rarely win.

OK. But is that what he really did? I was sure he blurted out two sentences at a sporting event, one that could be considered rude or unwelcoming (Go back to Uruguay,) and the other factual (This is America.) Instead of being drowned out in the deafening crowd noise, they were clearly heard on a microphone during a TV broadcast. Would anyone really have cared otherwise? And for this "crime" he's banned from Auburn Arena and will likely appear before the SGA -- presumably for more punishment. You know, it's been about 10 years since I've last been on the campus. Where is the Political Re-Education Center located?
