I went to UT (didn't graduate from UT), put two kids through college over there. I'll say "we" if I dang well want to.

My wife has watch lots of documentaries about her and the royal family. She was saying she really hope Queen Elizabeth skips Charles in her will and names William as the next King. She can't stand Charles for how he treated Diana.

Say what you will about the country and monarchy, but it's darn impressive they've lasted this long. Maybe entirely due to Elizabeth, but most Western monarchies have completely dissolved. The Brits are the last to have one that people around the world actually know and somewhat care about. It's kinda interesting.

I'm pretty sure some Scandinavian countries have monarchs... nobody knows or cares about them. The next best well-known example would be the Saudis but they're not a Western society.

Maybe I'll will see the British royal family evaporate into irrelevancy in my lifetime... maybe they'd already be there if she hadn't lived so long.

We were 1-4 in games decided by a TD or less last year. Pitt(L), Ole Miss(L), UK(W)and Purdue(L). That was the difference from 7 wins to 10. We were so close. For me to have confidence in Heupel going forward...he has to win those games. This game is so important for the trajectory of the season.
The fact that he even had us IN those games gave me confidence.

So winning 7 when the expectation was 4 or 5 wasn't good enough to have confidence?

Not disagreeing, but just speaking to the 4-5 win expectation.

While I think we slightly went over expectation, it was not by that much. Vegas and FPI were at 6.5 and 6. I was at 6.6 wins. All regular season.

Js, the narrative that anyone besides a few negavols here had us at 4 or 5 wins is not accurate (though I'm sure there's some rando media member that had it). Most realized Heupel was a good enough coach and 3-7 in 2020 (with 3 SEC wins) was clearly a 6-7 win season in a regular year.

I already have confidence. Im just saying if Heupel really is the coach that is going to bring us back to being a top 25 team year in and year out and back to competing for championships....he has to win those games...especially this year. There are only 2 teams this year that are "better" than us this year and that is Bama and UGA.

So if we...say....lose to Pitt....and then lose to UF a few weeks later...we are 2-2 and that shows no improvement from last year with a better team. You can't tell me that wouldnt make your confidence take a pretty big dip.
 
I know Japan still does.

Bhutan...of course, it's still a kingdom (on my bucket list, VERY unique place)

Britain's royal importance is directly tied to their imperialism. Not about to clap for all that jazz.

Regardless, birth right royalty is dumb in all forms and in every country. Cue the Monty Python lines

Listen...strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power should be derived from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony. I mean, if I went around calling myself an emporer just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

What amazes me more than anything about hummingbirds is that they are migratory. They migrate all the way to Mexico and Central America. Pretty amazing for such a small creature.

Are you talking about African hummingbirds, or European. Of course African hummingbirds are non-migratory.
