  1. Get the damn vaccine. You want be chipped. You may actually do some good and save someone’s life. Maybe you own.
  2. What a shocker! Hopefully people of credibility will continue to step up and blow up the big lie bull****.
  3. It seems Auburn has lagged in baseball for years. A teaser season here or there but nothing consistent Much like swimming there are legacy coaches that seem to be a good fit that never get a look. 🤷‍♂️
  4. The Delta variant of Covid 19 is on the horizon. Alabama, like many southern states lags in vaccination rates. What is the point of resistance? No one knows how debilitating this may be…yet so many resist. Why? How many of you are vaccinated…if not, why?
  5. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax A previous poster started a thread with a synopsis of this article. As several tax gurus pointed out, the uber wealthy do nothing more than take advantage of the tax code. Indeed, no one is saying they are violating the law in any respect. However, the real income of these individuals is off the chart. ….and increasing at a rate that is astounding when compared to the average working family. Their Federal income tax rate of less than 5% is disgusting and totally unfair to the average Joe. Mods merge with other thread if you feel appropriate
  6. OK…I think all agree these practices are legal. However, are they fair and reasonable? The notion that the Uber wealthy can pay less than 5% federal tax while the rest of us pay 14%+++ is disgusting. The tax code is the absolute best the wealthy can buy.
  7. I am not a regular on Twitter by any stretch, and just followed Bruce to see his comments. My goodness. I am thinking much of what he is throwing out there does not align with most of his players nor their families. Not the hardest of hard core right wing, but a very strong lean. It does align with the majority of the state of Alabama. Now, to his credit he did participate in the Black Lives Matter march and seemed to support the movement and his players. Saban lead the march in Tuscaloosa and appeared in an anti-racism video. He downplayed the political aspects and focused on helping his team become better, more successful people. Thankfully, Bruce is also a superior coach with a track record of getting players to the pros. If he posts on Twitter he should focus on that....JMHO
  8. IMHO, justice was served. The video is really all you need to see. No human being requires, or deserves a knee across the neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. Each of the defense arguments was largely a smoke screen. After all, George Floyd was not the one on trial. The desperation of the defense crystallized for me with the “expert” postulating that Floyd died from carbon monoxide emitted from the police vehicle. BTW...the same air the defendant was breathing. Floyd’s oxygen saturation was 98%. Justice prevails.
  9. Would have come back the last time.
  10. I wonder if any of the naysayers actually know anyone that has died or been severely ill (weeks..months) from Covid19... It seems many slide by unaffected or mostly unscathed. However, there are over 540,000 dead in the US. Most people I know are totally unaffected. Some have been seriously affected. One is now likely to die. .......and people seriously want to quibble about the courtesy of wearing a mask? What a me world we live in.
  11. Done! My thanks for all the hard work that goes into this!
  12. Would have made no difference in the outcome, but WTF was the kickoff strategy. First, huge mistake to not defer the opening coin toss that resulted in Bama getting the ball in the second half with a big lead. Next, a fair catch inside the 25 gives you the ball at the 25. Why was Shivers running them out...inside the 25? Aggression that makes no sense.
  13. Whoa! Bit of hate oozing there. Jones is good. He’ll be drafted far higher than Brady....
  14. I suppose that is the question. Is the coaching to the point players are finding the water? You certainly do not see Bama players making those mistakes...why?
  15. This could be a big reveal. Obviously no one had spring practice. Joey just became eligible 2-3 weeks ago. If he is able to perform in the big spotlight it says quite a lot about player evaluation at AU. We shall see...
  16. Sorry, what a woman chooses to do with her body is none of my business....nor yours. It is totally inappropriate for anyone to apply their values and opinions, religious or otherwise, to a situation where they have no interest....beyond an opinion. Let people do the best they can without judgement.
