I pay Geico about a dollar per month per car for emergency roadside assistance. The one time I needed a tow, they had someone out there in 45 minutes and managed to not frick up my car in the process.
Five stars.
I have Geico too and have used it three times over the last 15 years. Twice were just flats in the city that I didn't want to deal with myself and another time a tow due to a broken ignition key cylinder.
All three times they were easy to contact and the repair/tow service was in contact with me right away and there in 30-45 minutes.

re: Attention People that block merging traffic
Posted by wm72 on 1/16/26 at 3:31 pm to ClemsonKitten
In Pensacola now and it baffles how many drivers try to merge from the I-110 onto I-10 immediately instead of just following the two merging lanes that are 3/4 of a mile long.
The few cars that actually just follow the lanes to the designed merge point usually end up 75 cars ahead.
Funny how opposite it is from Brooklyn where the chaos would occur from assholes trying to get around the others on the shoulder to the merge point first.
The one commonality is that when a lot of Americans see a merging point they panic.

Wasn't the main negative in abandoning deep throws simply the defensive backfield increasingly sitting on the intermediate /short passes we had so much success with the first half of the season?
re: Nielsen releases the Top 10 college football TV markets of 2025-26
Posted by wm72 on 1/15/26 at 5:56 pm to RollTide1987
I would assume this simply by percentage of TV viewers tuning into college football so the market size doesn't really matter. Just so it's big enough to be considered a market.

Agree with poster who said it's a difficult question that depends on just how much his injuries contributed to his about face from perhaps the best QB in college football for 1/2 the games and mediocre at best in the rest.
Not all offensive line. RBs etc either. He shared the blame for bad reads, missing open guys etc that he didn't do early in the season.
Fans love to divide into black/white sides about QBs.
The truth is probably in the middle though and I would guess the coaches are ready to roll with Russell, who may be the highest ranked recruit Alabama has ever signed, for whatever that's worth.

Their plan is simple. Pay for all the politicians. Spend generously on ad campaigns to get the people who make 100k to blame those that make 50k and so on.
Have politicians solve these problems in ways that increase their profits.

He was very hot and cold I admit.
I think the hot and cold is more that he's as talented as anyone but just kinda doing his own thing without a lot of understanding of the team.
His problem certainly isn't putting a lot of effort into the defensive end and rebounding!
Completely agree that he could be a huge boon this season.
Also get that we as fans love to see the explosions of pure talent whereas coaches are popping blood pressure tablets when players are wildly all over the place.
We pretty much played the entire game with only 3 TO (2 were in garbage time).
Really encouraging that, last night at least, we seemed committed to the defensive glass.
We're hard to stop running out if we can actually secure rebounds.
Miss St is probably a good match up for us though since they simply didn't have anyone who could stop Philon (or Holloway, Amari) from getting wherever they wanted.
Watching Bethea getting more time last clarified why Oats hasn't been giving him more minutes.
I love that he has a nose for rebounds, is more athletic than any guard aside from maybe Philon, looks to make incisive passes and can shoot.
I think he's gonna be very good for us later this year (and definitely next if we can keep him).
However, it's clear that he's a bit of a wild man out there right now just doing his thing without much team concept.

re: Why isn’t the Pensacola metro area a larger city than it is?

We are building a house SW of Jay
My uncle built a home near there (few miles south of Hwy 4) on a few acres back in the 90s. Really beautiful area above the river.
I drive there and to Brewton from Pensacola when I visit to see family.
Should be a little while before that area gets too crowded, although the development really does seem to have crept about 5 miles further up 29 every time I go.

The homeowners insurance in a prime hurricane zone doesn’t make it worthwhile to live there
I'm sure that's what is causing such sprawl into smaller towns north and northeast of Pensacola like Pace/Milton and Cantonment to Molino.
If you pass a cottonfield today, it'll be a tract houses and a Publix shopping center when you drive back by in a few months.
I love Pensacola. Own my parents old home there and visit all the time. On the bright side, the lack of boom in Pensacola proper sure makes it a lot more pleasant than the nearby Fairhope area for me.

Tech bros moved into these soulless high rises downtown, then got pissed at local music being played after 9PM. I guess they didn’t do their homework.
Unfortunately, money talks, so these folks got their way and the music stops early.
It's really this. Everywhere.
Locally owned hip dive bars and unique shops start to fill previously run down areas.
More people than hipsters think it's cool.
Upscale small plate cocktail bars and wine shops replace the record shops and dive bars.
Developers build fancy arse condos and all the punks and hipsters move.
The people that buy the fancy condos are boring and rent is too high for locally owned shops so the neighborhood becomes a bunch of upscale corporate chain stores.
All good answers in this thread.
I've noticed that the Pensacola Metro area is counted in an extremely limited way compared to other mid sized cities when you see published population lists.
Data usually leaves out a lot of the adjacent suburban towns you see included for other cities.
That may add to the impression of it being smaller than it actually is.

Ideal scenario for him to get solid minutes last night and he barely played again. Trelly was out, Mallette gave you zero points on 17 minutes and Philon/Holloway were struggling at times. He came into the game early and hit a three and never saw the court again.
I don’t understand it at all.
Im disappointed that he's not playing a bigger role so far.
I'd guess by how quickly he gets pulled that Oats has given him some exact instruction that he's not doing.

remember the Wimp Sanderson teams seemed to be built around good defense and strong rebounding. Worked out well for him most games.
I loved Alabama basketball under Wimp but this season of, so far, just being in the Top 20 with a seeming ceiling of the Sweet 16 that we're all disappointed in was often a highpoint.
re: If Indiana were in the SEC how would they do?
Posted by wm72 on 1/11/26 at 12:24 pm to Buttermilk Pancakes
Close to full strength Indiana would be favored to win all these games.
Main question is how healthy a team that only plays 13 or so players on each side of the ball remains over the long haul.

There’s numerous articles out there on how to draw people in and boost your sales in the hour before close.
These articles are likely suggesting things other than a table of stragglers keeping 5 employees on the clock an extra hour.
Like select late menu items that are quick and easy cleanup with a high profit margin to increase last hour to go orders etc...

… ask the owner if he wants to stop making money in the last hour of operation. He might actually want to make money the entire time his restaurant is open.
As much fun as it is to say screw the workers and think about the owner, it's actually the opposite.
Owner usually loses money having numerous employees punch out later due to one table with a low profit margin to start with.
Which is the reason most restaurants announce the kitchen is closed to new orders before posted time.

At very least think of it like any other business:
Whatever time allows you to finish and be out of the door before they close.

What will be difficult to replicate is the older players that were at JMU and also had Covid years. .
Ton of difference between 23-4 year old men and 19 year olds.
And a lot easier to bring players you know with you from JMU than to scout them from all over and also not easy to keep good players recruited to a Top 20 program for 5 years.

Indiana boosters didn't want to dodge Bobby Knight's chairs.
