I don't know what the Ole Miss version of "As The Plains Burn" is, but it is happening.

Anyone ever used My Epic Gear?
Looking for some logistics help... and if off-renting and on-renting before and after no-ski days is worth it.

I did it for 2025.
It wasn't as hard as you might think.
I didn't realize how much it was dragging me down.
I feel great. I'm in the best shape in 20 years.
Sleep has greatly improved.
You can easily do it!!
It's a great goal.

BCS was better.
Should have been 4 teams in 2003 and 2004.
Would loved to have seen lsu vs usc...
And what auburn could have done in 04.
Hell, that 2006 LSU team at the end of the year as well.

Any recommendations for ski rentals in Breck?
Demo rentals are only $50/day after you pay the one time $50 membership fee.
It doesn't make sense if you ski enough to own. But anything more than 2-3 days, it seems to be cheaper and more convenient, especially if your demo options are low.

quote:Ha. I agree.
They need to do a news story of the Honey Badger meeting the OP and talking the details, effects, and results over. I assume he never met or spoke with him.
I posted on page 3 in the original thread that Mike needed to go to NY with the Honey Badger.
Makes you feel old when that was 14 years ago.

quote:It’s extremely easy to get there compared to the 2-team or 4-team playoff.
My opinion is that he knows LSU is a better job and wants it, but really wants to coach his team in the playoffs because it's not easy to get there.
The team still would have a chance at a championship, but it’s likely Ole Miss administration that would prevent him from coaching the rest of the way.

1. Seated Toe-Grab stretch
2. Shoulders flat hip rotations
3. Cat - Cow
4. Ankle Rotations
5. Elevated Legs
Seems to be retaining mobility and lubrication fluid movement (brain, spine, joints).

quote:Tesla did harmonic coupling, wireless power transmission in the early 1900's.
It says they would convert the energy to microwaves and shoot it to a receiver station. Not sure the technology is even close to existing to do something like that.
This was a separate demonstration than the Colorado Springs and the Wardenclyffe experiments.
There is a distinct difference form single-wire power transmission (or using the Earth as the coupler) and wireless harmonic coupling.
However, all 3 were terrestrial experiments.
So, what role did the ionosphere or Earth's geo-magnetic structure play in the effectiveness of this old technology? It's hard to know.
Similar to the near field wireless charging pads we all use. You could scale the technology to increase the distance between the source and receiver.
Much like a powered radio station transmitting information and sound waves that can be received by a powered radio in your car when tuned to the right frequency.
You could maybe do power transmission with alternate waves (microwaves versus sound waves) from space if the frequency is coupled.
Microwave frequencies would theoretically lose less energy than radio frequencies.
As for the underlying basis, it's a very interesting idea.
Super cold operation. No debris. Near 100% availability.
I wonder how they would solve the potential issue of unauthorized power draws if someone was able to construct an independent power receiver and tune it to the right frequency.

Final quote of the video.

It became quite difficult at the end to find decent balance and proximity fits.
Tennessee has too many natural opponents.
Oklahoma has too few.
How do you handle Vandy and Miss St (centrally located and relatively weak historically)?

Missouri, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Texas have no history with the SEC.
They naturally have their own familiarity, but grouping them up would not be helpful in making them an embedded part of the conference instead of just bolt on expansion schools. So, I doubt they go with the pod approach.
Arkansas and South Carolina to some degree have embedded themselves into the traditional SEC culture having been in the league for quite some time.
There are natural in-state rivals.
Texas/A&M
Ole Miss/Miss State
Bama/Auburn
Then there are long-standing rivalries.
Texas/ OU
Tenn/Bama
Georgia/Florida
Then, you have long-term SEC East/West matchups.
Tenn/UGA
LSU against ole miss, arkansas, auburn, alabama
Everybody wanting to play Kentucky and Vandy.
And the relative perception of having hard versus easy opponents based on current and historical strength.
For instance, you wouldn't want to be in a pod with Bama/LSU/UGA/Florida as your permanent opponents over the last 20 years.
To some degree the same could be said for Texas and OU over the last 20 or so years.
Tennessee was championship good in the 90's.
But florida has down years. Tennesee as well. Arkansas has had good years and bad years. Vandy with the right coach and quarterback have won games they traditionally lose. South Carolina can be tough.
It's definitely not going to be an easy task.
