I believe in the possibility of Bigfoot. I said it.

My favorite show is called “Expedition Bigfoot” and in its first season, the treked through central Oregon. They take a very scientific approach in their hunt. They use a sightings algorithm that takes cover, time of year, food source and possible migration patterns to find the perfect area. They aren’t a bunch of weirdos either. Lol... Well, this year based on all the above, they selected SE Kentucky. It’s uncanny the things that have been reported and unexplainable but one of the things is having a large deer and elk population along with the largest cave system in the world. One of the sightings told was from a hunter who noticed the feed he kept laying out that would usually last 5-7 days was gone within a day. So he and his wife decided to sit in their blind to see if the bears had come back. As dusk was approaching, his wife grabbed him by the arm unable to speak and pointed to it. 35 yards in front of him was this mammoth of a creature. You just have to watch and hear him tell it. But he was a hunter and 4 generation miner who’d lived in that area all his life. He said he was always the one making fun of people who said they saw Bigfoot but now, he’s a believer. Skeptical or not, it’s worth the watch. I find it fascinating.

My Napier appreciation is:

1. He’s young
2. He’s come through the ranks, with stops at successful programs like Clemson and Alabama
3. He’s an offensive guy - which IMO is a must if you’re making a hire in today’s game.
4. Originally from Tennessee, which I’d imagine would make him want to be here.
5. Has consistent success at a usually down program. They’ve improved each year he’s been there.
6. Read an article where is players raved about the guy. Think that’s important.


There are concerns, no doubt. Basically the case any time you hire a new coach. Unless it’s Saban or Urban, it’s almost a crapshoot it seems.

I’d love Kiffin. I’d love Freeze. Neither are happening.

So that I think makes Napier #1 in my book.

I don't want any "offensive" guy that has no good plan for building a relatively good defense, conversely I don't want a "defensive" guy that can't put a good offense on the field.

I want a HC that can do both. Losing 63-45 is just as infuriating to me as losing 42-21.

Def at the bottom of the ocean but they are probably not large due to the pressure. This is a simulation Hank. Take it as that and the world's madness makes more sense.

Are you still feeding your deer?


After hunting yesterday I freshened my mineral licks and put corn out to see what bucks survive. I had 174 pics overnight as a large number of does found the corn already

I agree. I think there's a lot that remains to be discovered in the depths of the ocean. And I'd love to believe in Big Foot, and Yetis, and the Loch Ness Monster, but in today's world where people carry around mini-computers in the form of a phone, the fact we have no real photographic evidence of these things leaves me skeptical of their existence. The kid in me always wants to believe in possibilities, but life has made me a cynic.

Disgusting..purely and utterly disgusting. I think we should apply the Singapore laws to litterbugs, or that other Asian place(can't remember which) that publicly beats people caught littering.

Proud dad moment: Two of my kids my 17 yr old daughter and 10 year old son go this basketball court outside a church near out house..... At nights several teenagers play there and leave all their trash laying around everywhere..... The youth pastor called me and said he was driving over to the church..... my kids were walking around the court cleaning up all the trash that people had thrown in the grass besides the court and he wanted me to know what great kids I had.

I was in Singapore when they used a bamboo cane to beat a guy for graffiti. They hit the person on buttocks. It cuts so deep and painful the person passes out. They wake the person up to before hitting again. Cleanest city I’ve ever seen

Correct. Unless they are believed to be in areas that basically have not been discovered yet.... i find it hard to believe. But deep down in the ocean or some yeti mountain creature.... sure.

Throw in a gag ball and some ass-less leather chaps and you have the makings of some serious kink.

yea it really doesn’t matter to me if it’s an offensive or defensive coach. Personally, i would prefer to go offense because it seems to me that it’s easier for an offensive head coach to turn the keys over to a DC they trust than for a Defensive coach to fully turn the keys over to an OC.

I posted a tweet about Sean McVay a minute ago and he’s a perfect example of this. Their offense used to be full 11 personnel and be late wade Phillips completely have the defense and they ran primarily man. Now they are almost exclusively 22 personnel and their current DC has them almost primarily zone.

Adapt and give yourself a better chance of winning. Love it.
