Remember several months ago when there was a little chatter of him potentially coming to UT in an off the field role? I swear I saw it on here... this will definitely push Arch to TX...

Quick story about the holocaust museum in DC:

My brother is an educator who has some influence in the Jewish world because of project he did several years ago. When the Holocaust museum opened in Washington DC, he was invited to tour with a few other prominent people connected to Holocaust education. The premise behind the museum is you're given a card with the name and background of a Jewish person in the holocaust. You're then 'lead' through the museum as events unfolded before and during the war. At the end of the tour, you find out whether the person on your card lived or died. I'm not sure if that's how the museum is structured now but that's how it was when it opened.

On my brother's tour during the 'opening', he was given a card and lead through the museum individually by an older lady. She told him about the construction of the museum, the events surrounding the war, and other tidbits about the Jewish existence during this time. At the end, he observed other people finishing the tour being told about the person on their card. He gently asked the older lady if the person on his card lived or died. She said:

"I lived"

That is similar to the tour of the museum in Ireland where the Titanic left on its sail to New York There were four of us and each was given a ticket with the name of a passenger. When we fini#he’d the tour, we look up the name on the ticket. I was the only one of the four who survived.

I'm part of the so-called Baby Boomer crowd who worked their way through college. Worked in a plywood mill in the summer and cut pulpwood in the winter. The 12k a year my school cost was just as much out of reach to me as the 32k. Never expected the government to bail me out for any debt I incurred.

I am older than dirt, but I came out of college with money in the bank and I never took out a loan. I earned money by working at number of jobs in high school and saved money rather than buying cars, a bunch of clothes and etc. I did not have a car at school and if I wanted to go home, I could/would thumb my way to and from home. During the Summers I got jobs which would pay for my entire net year's college costs. I even loaned one of my older brothers over $1,000 While I was in college. That was a big mistake and I learned to never loan money to anyone in the family.

Same here. Spot on. Finally was able to afford a beater a couple of years into it. Didn’t have enough to loan to anybody else tho. Learned the value of a dollar early on and being in debt was not on my agenda.

Did you guys see where Mark Lye got fired from Sirius for basically saying he didn't like Womens Basketball?

As someone that likes women’s basketball and has watched it at multiple levels for decades, it’s ok to not like it, and it’s ok to proclaim that publicly.

What a travesty.

When I was in elementary school, we took a field trip to Shiloh (yes only a few years after the war). The guide had us number off by 8. There were 32 in the class. Told us if he called your number, then you were to fall down “dead.” He then had us charge up a hill in a meadow. By the time the survivors reached the objective, there were only 4 left. I didn’t make it.
Heard the teachers comment that the bus ride home was the quietest they had ever been on.
It was sobering to learn how many lives were squandered in a single battle. 😐

(By bus, I mean really long horse drawn wagon….🤠)

Awesome story. I have been a couple of times and that was the way it was when I went. Makes you stop and think just how lucky we are.

Speaking of D.C., a visit Arlington National Cemetery is a must!! Our junior high school participated in a wreath laying ceremony. The changing of the guard is a phenomenal experience!!

Hiring Cut…
Fruitless at worst.
Game changer at best.

Wish we had done it.

Not sure the fit with him and Heupel. They seem to have different styles when it comes to teach the QB position. Cut/Sark is a fit in styles that makes a lot of sense. I suspect Manning had a part to play in this in terms of identifying a place they prefer he goes and then working Cutcliffe into a off field role there to help
