You mean the paying or refund for filings?


You have to be close in your withholding or estimated quarterly payments, or you could owe a penalty in addition to the tax.

Personally I think it should all be paid on April 15.
That way people would be against the income tax.

Golf is best thought of as an addiction.

As a little kid, but never had formal lessons. Never had great equipment, just whatever we found or cheap.

Good enough to play in high school, but never really had an understanding of the “golf swing.”

My kids never liked it. They had some lessons, but just did not enjoy it at all.

I wish they liked it.
I guess this is just what college sports is now.

I’ll still watch.

I hope we can be a 5 seed or better next year in NCAAT

All this moving around by all the players is taking away some capacity to develop relationships that could serve them well after basketball which will be over for many of them without ever touching an NBA basketball court.

Only 64 men are drafted each year.

There is no penalty at whatever your FRA is (likely 67)


Thanks for that correction.

I’ll probably quit at 67 and take SS then.

I decided since I still have a 1099 gig that pays more than the social security level where they take back a chunk of the money, that I will wait until I’m older to take social security.

I think they take back 1 in 3 dollars after 22,000 and 1 in 2 dollars over 44000 or something along those lines.

The 1099 work is not extremely stressful, but whenever I stop it or age 70 (when there is no penalty for work) is when I plan to take it.

Duel threat QB?

Is our offense the “run and shoot?”

Sounds like at least we have some tough hombres at QB who won’t take any guff.
That and Mississippi State would be the schedule when I was in college.

Along with Georgia Tech.

One thing that is sort of annoying is the fractionated broadcast of sports. Used to buy a cable package and 99% of what I might want to watch was on the plan.

Now the cable providers tier it. Then there are all of the streaming apps, Prime, Netflix, Peacock, ESPN+ and so on and so forth.

I cut back my cable plan recently which dropped ESPNU and NFL network. I doubt I’ll miss it. But I think more streaming options may be forthcoming. I will not spend anymore money to watch games that are not on what I already pay for- cable and prime.


Btw, streaming always is iffy on my feed. I prefer cable broadcast.

re: Hitting out of a divot

Golf is not a game of perfect.

I fill divots. There are always more to fill than I have sand to fill them.

I try to toe in the front wall of any divots I see. IF the ball is pinned against the front wall of a deep divot, it is a brutal shot.

I usually don’t hit into, but maybe a couple of divots per week playing almost daily.

I think it's going to be more like 60 teams. Teams like Kansas State, NC State, etc., will never challenge for a title, but their fans watch all the big CFB games, cut them out and their fans won't follow CFB near as much. We already have a 32 team fall football league.


Fair points.

Do you think most teams/leagues will be owned by private equity/investors/PIF like organizations?


The league model might be best ownership model with salary caps and such.

I think it’s headed toward a 32 team CFP league based on revenue and results.

The next 32 will be a league where the top 4 get to regulate the bottom 4 of the CFP league.

It just depends on who offers the most money for whatever structure they want to see in the future.

Whole teams could be bought. As in Saudi PIF buys Ohio State or whichever school they want.
