    Will add that I do not believe this type of thing is the norm among rank and file church membership or Christians. If it is I have been taken.

    Well Salty, being a deacon in my church & devoted Christian to the Lord God Jehovah.

    I can look at that post and take it for it's true meaning.  Any sensible Christian would not compare Trump's way he lives his life to the way my Savior Jesus Christ lived his life.  That's not what that post references at all.

    The comparison being made is that Trump is suffering the same ridicule that Jesus did in that he is labeled a criminal due to a conviction that was pre-determined by a corrupt judge, prosecutor, and a jury that just went along with the clowns (judge & prosecutor) that literally gave them no alternative but to convict in that Kangaroo Court in New York.

    In that aspect Trump and Jesus went through the same ordeal.   For ignorant people to proclaim that Christians see Trump as our Jesus is preposterous & asinine.

    Men's team picks up transfer Guard Miles Kelly

    That’s why I’m feeling more confident than I did before we got Kelly. I was thinking Pearl was just going to get a guard like he got Hudson, very underwhelming and a depth piece. We instead got someone who’s a sharp shooter and a mismatch as a combo guard/wing. Kelly allowed us to play so many versatile lineups that UAT won’t be able to match. Again, we beat them 99-81 with a LESS talented team than they were last year. Why does that all of a sudden get ignored? Again, I’m not doubting they have a talented roster. I’m just thinking they are getting more praised than being deserved.

    But yes, Kelly has made us go from being 5-8 in the SEC to a top team in the SEC. 

    I agree with your assessments.  Bama lived & died by the 3 last year & that will more than likely be the case this year.   They had no inside game, and the teams they beat just didn't have the defensive philosophy figured out, nor the horses to stop it.   We pounded them inside that last game & they couldn't stop us.  While on defense BP figured out that when their guards start towards the basket, they were looking to kick out to an open 3 ball shooter instead of finishing at the rim.  So you keep your big men inside to stop the dribble drive & you instruct your guards to stay close to the screeners who (always) snuck out to the 3 point line & don't let them have wide open 3's and down goes Bama.

    Therefore, I like where we sit where Bama is concerned.

    Can’t tell you how much this means to me as a former Auburn golfer. I had tears of joy. I’m pretty worn out I’ll have more to say later.

    We are national champs in golf never thought I would be able to say that 54 years ago while playing for Auburn.

    It must have been surreal for you the 1st time you held a golf club in your hands with metal shafts & heads as opposed to the all wooden clubs you had to use.

    On the other hand it must have been convenient that your old clubs doubled as weapons to kill dinosaurs with.

    Congratulations brother.

    Pro Wrestling Open Thread

    Well guys I have a pretty slow day going at work, so I thought I would share some of my feelings about Pro Wrestling with you.

    I guess I'm a throwback, but I loved wrestling back from the mid 90's to the mid 2000's when during that period you had the NWO formed on WCW, which caused Vince to create DX to compete & then open the Attitude ERA with Stone Cold, the Rock, and the Undertaker being the main players.

    All those guys with both organizations had the looks, the attitudes, the charisma, and all knew how to work a crowd on the microphones.

    I could not wait for Monday Nitro & Raw; flipping the channels back & forth during commercials and catching the drama from both programs, and then on Thursday Thunder & Friday Night Smackdown.   It was AWESOME!!!

    Then Vince's HUGE EGO convinced him that he needed to get rid of the competition, so he bought out WCW & therefore pissed on all my enjoyment of Wrestling for good. (Although there was a period of about 8 years when Jeff Jarrett & Sting & a few others got together and formed TNA).  It brought back the stars which drew me to WCW in the first place and was pretty dang good up until people like Sting, Hogan, Hall and Nash, Ric Flair got too old to be in their prime any more and it faded out shortly after 2010 as I recall.

    The younger wrestlers of today just don't do it for me.  The openings of the shows for WWE are just rinse & repeat every week.  The only thing different is you have a different wrestler come out to open the show every week; they talk for about 10 minutes & inevitably one of their enemies music comes over the loud speakers to interrupt the first one to come.  The original one to come out acts like they are surprised, and annoyed that someone would dare interrupt them.  Then after about 10 minutes of meaningless rhetoric the main event for the evening is miraculously created between the two, or maybe even three or four of them.  YAWN!!!!!

    How about some creativity for the openings every once in a while.

    Also I've figured out that if you don't actually want to watch the entire main event match, change your TV channel & watch another show until about 9:57 and then you can watch the actual ending of the match.   Until then you are just going to have a bunch of 2 counts & kick outs.    YAWN AGAIN!!!!!

    There is about to be a documentary either on Vice or A&E TV Channel called What Killed WCW (something close to that title)

    For me they should make a documentary called How Vince McMahan Killed My Wrestling Enjoyment

    Rant Over;  Feel free to comment or criticize, or whatever

Overall a decent score this is a marathon not a sprint still have 36 holes just to get in the top 15 then another 18 to get into top 8 to start match play. To get to finals they will have played 8 rounds of golf carrying their own bags.
