Furhmann visited Kentucky over the weekend. Clark had also visited UK at some point.

Hope they sign a more experienced guy for our QB1, but obviously he can compete.

It’s tough beat the Madison in Montana around Cameron for what you’re looking for. I usually rent kayaks in Bozeman and stop on the bars and banks at spots where I want to fish. They have shuttle services that will move your vehicle down river. Then you can also bring kayaks to Cliff Lake area and paddle/fish. Of course, late July, August, early September is good.
Plenty of great hiking in that area too and some nice AirBNB’s right on and near the river.

I caught my first bass in my great grandfathers pond on a black and yellow HH spinner bait in 1969. I just received my order today from HH of some 1/8 oz glow in the dark tandem rigs for my dock at night on Bayou Terrebonne.

Yes kill them regardless. I’ve trapped over 1300 on my place in SW MS since 2012 and you just can’t eat nor give away near that many pigs.

I like her. I also don’t know why Grace Knox didn’t play the second half that I noticed.
re: Mississippi Rolling Hills

I drive I-55 regularly between ny place in Amite County and Bayou Terrebonne and the rolling hills actually start in Louisiana heading North just south of Kentwood. So by the time you hit the state line, you’re well into them.
re: What knife or tool do you use to crack open the sternum on a deer?
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 1/3/26 at 8:23 pm to LSUSUPERSTAR
I skin a bunch of deer and I don’t split the sternum. I just let the guts fall enough to get the tenderloins out. Cut the front quarters off, backstraps and hind quarters, and occasionally the neck.

A literal interpretation would be that, yes. Players at the tip are the starters…..but the real deal crunch time players are those when you need to make a run, seal a win, etc and in every critical scenario, Fulwiley is on the court.

If you’ve got some data to back that up, it will be the first I’ve seen. So please share.
re: Investment advice
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 1/2/26 at 11:22 pm to SidewalkTiger
You’re on the right track. I retired at 55 in 2017 and this was ny strategy. Max out any matching tax deferred accounts, or a Roth if it’s employer matched. I invested in physical metals in early 2000’s and that’s paying off. And I still believe there is a ton of run left in silver especially.
Land/real estate is another almost sure investment. Any after tax investments weighted in index funds like you said, industry sector funds, S&P etc, but keep 20%ish bonds (not bond funds). I like corporate bonds, with some municipal bonds on the low end. Don’t buy junk bonds, I try to stay in B+ or higher. Then as you move closer to retirement, transition more so toward bonds and fixed income. Remove the risk from your portfolio.
That’s all I got, but it’s worked very well for me.

re: Mississippi retirement hunting property

I bought 400 acres in Amite County in 2008 when I was 47. Moved residency from La to Ms in 2013, retired in 2017 and lived there since, with a camp on bayou Terrebonne. I harvested several hundred thousand $ worth of timber and formed an LLC which owns the land, so all farm expenses are deductible. And there are no state income taxes on 401k and IRA’s. One of the lowest property tax counties in the state. That’s not the case with surrounding counties, Pike, Franklin and Wilkinson. Politics aren’t in good shape in those counties.
Land value has appreciated 40-45% since 2008, maybe more. And the best of all is the recreational value. I built a 5 acre pond in 2014 (largest so far 13 lb 4oz bass), kids catch plenty of fish, manage intensely for deer, turkey and other wildlife, grow gardens, fruit tree orchards, and forage for natural bounty like chanterelle mushrooms, dew berries, blackberries, paw paw’s and more. Have 2 creeks to swim, fish, hunt in too. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Buy quality recreational land because the supply is diminishing. PS - just like anywhere else, neighbors matter.

Viewership is up this year but that’s obviously not a trend yet. There’s 2 types of fans; baws like us who follow their team, and baws like us when we watch other CFB games. What I see is that fans of specific teams are not as passionate about their teams as they were 6-7 years ago and prior because of the ever changing roster, lack of loyalty, and other ills of the $. But the overall popularity of CFB in general may be in decent shape?
I’m 100% against unregulated NIL and unlimited transfer with no sit-outs and hope that Saban can influence the conference commissioners to get their shite straight this Spring.

Nathan is a woke SEC beat reporter for ON3. His X profile lists his pronouns he/him, and a free Palestine hashtag. If he’s wrong about Berry to OM, that’s strike 3.

Exactly. It seems like she’s been trying many different combinations of line ups. USCe is damn good too but I’d hate to be Dawn Staley this season trying to combat this gargantuan offense and defense.

Ok officially, but not really. Just like Fulwiley isn’t a bench player.

Mulkey obviously realizes what she’s built and what she has with this team. Not only generational individual talent, but a very cohesive group that goes 11 deep or more. Bella Hines, Grace Knox, Zakiyah Johnson, and Richard could prove to be the best bench in WCBB.
FlauJay, Mikayla and Fulwiley can create their own shots in one-on-one matchups as good as anyone in the country. Then they have the beef in the post with Koval, Joyner and even the freshman Yarnovich…..and did I
Mention future All American Grace Knox? And they run the floor and PLAY SWARMING DEFENSE better than any team Mulkey has had at LSU. I’m buying Kim Mulkey stock in my portfolio.

He should have been throwing his body over the ball cradling that sob like it was his last chance at life.
re: wow, don't ever say officiating doesn't determine games.

Yes the refs suck, especially the DEI Viking shield maiden but add the Weeks brothers, Haulsey, Delane and Perkins and this is a different game, even without Nuss and Anderson, despite the poor arse officiating.
