Chipmonks seem to be a major problem these days. Little critters running everywhere last few years. I dropped rat poison nuggets down some holes and that that seemed to of helped, but dang things infest neighborhoods. Two years ago a contractor saw a 6' King Snake coming out of the neighbors front landscape, which I am sure was ready to feast. What is the best cure for these critters?

I did see you could fill up a 5 gallon pail with water and cover the top with sunflower seeds and they would jump in and drown.

Good grief that's depressing. You probably kill chipmunks too.

Ayup, used to pop them and red squirrels with a Red Ryder BB gun. My uncle wanted the chipmunk tails (something to do with tying flies), and my grandpa had a vendetta against red squirrels (something about they castrated black squirrels, IDK that's been 30+ years ago). They'd each give me fifty cents a head, and for a kid in the late 80's/early 90's, that was all day at the arcade, along with lunch.

There were really no control methods for squirrels and like creatures. We'd trap squirrels that had forced their ways into attics and apply bait worms for molehills but that was the extent that we could legally address such issues. If you have excess acorns, they're going to come feed. My neighborhood is infested with rabbits and there's a product called Liquid Fence that worked wonders. Search the internet and there's prolly a variant for squirrels, chipmunks and the like. The danger of spreading poison outside bait stations is there's no safeguard for children and pets.

Andy Bowser claims to be as well, and people bemoan the stupid crap he tweets about constantly. Fair's fair, fella; whether you wanna hear it or not.

Personally, I lack the ability to find idiocy funny. Probably why I got blasted on here for mentioning how badly Seinfeld (the show and the comedian) sucks.

You probably hate Cheers and MASH too

I'll say this much - there's research that he develops 5 stars better than others.

I thought there was a possible hole in the theory and sought to see if evidence disproved it. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it. The hole I was expecting simply wasn't there.

Then there are teams like OSU...UGA...teams that supposedly had equal talent the last 5-6 years. They couldn't do anything near what Saban has. Even Clemson (at times I've put Dabo ahead of Saban as a pure/non-recruiting coach and maybe he still is) has fallen off some, which Saban has really never done. Over the length of time, it's pretty incredible really.

It pains me to even type all this, but it does seem he isn't merely a top recruiter and program builder, but also developer and schemer.

It is what it is. He won't be around forever.

Nobody has had more talent than him to work with over the last 13-14 years, some were close.

He is a better game coach and hirer than Dabo, Smart and Day. He is a more disciplined, focused person than Urban. Those are the only teams even consistently close in talent.

Saban is a good coach. I never said he wasn't. He would have lost a lot more games without all that talent stacked up likr cordwood.

You and @StoVol take your pornography talk back over to the Mississippi St board where it belongs.
