This. I find the cheapest brand that has the highest % concentrate of Glyphosate (usually 41%). I also do the same for 2-4D and mix them together every time I spray.

Agreed and it shouldn't.
What lost OM the game was scoring too quickly the drive before giving Miami plenty enough time to make another drive. Then again, I don't know if they could've chewed enough time off the clock anyway.
Either way, hell of a game and great performances by both teams.

It was leaked after Sorsby had already signed with Tech, no?
I don't remember and don't care enough to look at the time line.
I just don't see LSU leaking it and i think be it before or after he signed with TT, sorby's agent would care less if it was leaked. And if leaked before his signing, it would actually be in his client's best interest.

Did MM actually say this?
No.
While I only really listen to MM for essentially a summary of what happened day prior, I take his opinions with a grain of salt.
However, his take on this leak was actually pretty interesting and I didn't look at this way.
His guess/opinion is that Sorsby's agent maybe leaked it maybe to up his numbers.
He went on to say while it shouldn't have been leaked and disagrees with it, it actually could make LSU look good. Most schools are throwing rev share offers to sign players immediately since they control the money and then essentially promising the rest of the offer in a NIL deal. What this leak shows is that LSU right out the gate can have a NIL offer in the players hands along with the schools rev share offer.
re: Who will be the first school to abandon HS recruiting?
Posted by southern686 on 1/7/26 at 9:11 am to Bamafig
Unsure which will abandon it first, but I do think we will start seeing P4 schools going heavy on the portal and less on HS recruiting. As someone said 70/30 or maybe even 80/20 split.
I mean why recruit a HS kid, tie up money on them, develop them, etc. only for them to probably transfer the following year for more money or wanting more play time.
You might as well recruit they very best, and let the rest go to a G5 or a DIV2, or a FCS school.
While still keeping an eye on those would be recruits, let those schools do the development and give them play time. If they turn out good, then get them in the portal.
Until something is done; I personally think we will see more of this.

May be consequences but unsure.

re: LSU fans already saying they didn’t want to keep Frank
Posted by southern686 on 12/17/25 at 8:09 am to WAOMRebel
While I love coach Frank and wish we could've worked out something to retain him, I think letting him walk is the right thing to do.
Rosters are not built the same these days due to the portal. Sure, I agree, recruiting is still important but IMO its not as important as it once was; pre-portal era.
That said, I personally would rather take a solid RB coach (which we all know Wilson is not) instead of essentially reserving a coaching position for the sake of recruiting.

re: Painting an older home
Posted by southern686 on 11/21/25 at 10:28 am to bradygolf98
I did this very thing about 2 years ago.
I bought an older home (1970s) and it has paneling. I used an oil base primer and latex paint.
IIRC the wife picked a Benjamin Moore color called Swiss Coffee. Its an off white but none the less still very close to white. I have no signs of any yellowing.
My only issue is my toddler running hot wheels down the walls and other toys. The white shows everything pretty easily but there was no way I could talk her into anything else.

I was already paying for Hulu so it was cheap to just bundle in Disney+ and ESPN.
Unsure of pricing but wondering if it would've been cheaper for you to upgrade your HULU subscription to Hulu + live TV? If you get hulu+ live TV it includes ESPN Unlimited when you login to the ESPN app with your hulu info. Also if its a non-espn aired CBS, local channel, ect. you would still get it.

All live sporting events on ABC are on the EPSN App though (ESPN3), and would be available if you had ESPN unlimited.
I've asked this in another thread but got no response.
Forgive my ignorance, but if I were to swap to ESPN unlimited, would there ever be a scenario where I wouldn't be able to watch an LSU football or baseball game?
I'm sick of paying 80-90 a month for a bunch of channels I don't watch. I literally only have it to watch college football and baseball.
On YTTV i had LSU as a favorite. So anytime they were playing it showed up on my home screen when i opened the app.
That said, I've never really paid attention to the channel it was airing on. But don't they also sometime air on CBS or maybe a local channel for BB?
You've cleared it up when it comes to ABC.

I gave up on non sports programming and signed up for ESPN Unlimited direct from ESPN. Saved $58 a month from my YouTubeTv cost.
This is something I've been wanting to do as I do not watch any other channels I've been paying for on YTTV. The whole purpose I am paying 80-90 bucks a month is to watch college sports. Primarily football and baseball.
I have a question though and forgive my ignorance. If I swapped to ESPN unlimited, would there ever be a scenario where I wouldn't be able to watch a game?
Don't they air sometimes on CBS, ABC, or maybe locally?
I've never really paid attention to the channel. As LSU has always been bookmarked as a favorite inside my YTTV app so it pops up on the home tab as soon as i would open the app.

I swapped to Hulu as well; at least for the time being.
I still prefer YTTV over Hulu but it could just be because I am not use to the Hulu app yet. I will say, it seems getting to my local channels is easier on Hulu.
