The WHO can stick it where the sun don’t shine.

If it tastes good or feels good, you should probably avoid it. Then you'd have a long life, but probably not worth living. Maybe try to find a middle way.

That’s a vegan monk

Can’t wait to hear this broadcast hype up stoops for three hours like he’s not atleast 20 games under .500 in conference play in his UK tenure.

I'm, ugh, gonna leave that one alone.

I thought when someone stated an opinion on a message board that meant they wanted to discuss it…???

I suspect that there's a clash of worldviews here. With a couple of generations that have been indoctrinated into the self-refuting philosophy of postmodernism, there are all too many people who deny objective, external truth and operate on the "my truth" mentality. As such, it's becoming more and more of a social feax pas to intrude on someone else's 'truth'.

So, someone can wrap their comments in the veneer of 'opinion' and try to escape criticism, with the thought that all opinions are equal. (If there is an objective external truth by which to judge them, they're not.)

And close-mindedness in the name of open-mindedness becomes a virtue.

Note how striking the comments are:

"I have to use rational thought enough at work. Don't expect me to do it all the time..."
"Discussion? <Mock your rational process.> You'll never change my mind, stop bothering me..."

That's not open-mindedness. It's closed-mindedness and a rigidity of... thinking? Would that be the right word? Is the celebration of emoting in place of thinking...thinking?

It truly is an odd time to observe the world around us.

Fair point.

When Saban retires, the Alabama coaching search will be the most interesting in college football history. Obviously, it's a great job with a ceiling as high as any. But the pressure of following Saban is so immense. There's almost no way to be considered a success (outside of winning 6 NCs). I think Kiffin is one of the few with the ego to handle that who would also be a big time hire. But if I'm one of these big time guys, I wanna be the guy who follows the guy who follows Saban.

It’s Butch Jones. His internship was just to get familiar with the place and get his bricks ready

Great I can buy into. Greatest I am not sure based on the number of different coaches that have done it there. Now, had he done that a few miles west in Starkville it would be pretty undeniable. Not sure I couldn’t get a few NC at Bama since I am not named Mike.

With their "resources" I'm sure many coaches could win there. Even @Jackcrevol .

 

[Vol423]

That’s scotch, not bourbon

...and prices get a lot worse than that. I've seen scotch in Costco priced at over $15K per bottle, and that's at Costco's small mark-up.

Just a couple days left in 2023, thinking that this moment has to be the best Vol moment across all sports this past year. Electric factory.

Roge-O, No.

 

[Orange.]

6 Vols QBs have thrown for over 300 yards in a Bowl Game (one did it twice)

Can you name them?

Bobby Scott, Peyton Manning, Josh Dobbs, Casey Clausen, Hendon Hooker. Missing 1.

 

[Ace]

Pound of Bacon and 6 eggs for breakfast??

Plus a big glass of Miralax ...

Farm fresh eggs

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If I remember correctly, he was supposed to be back in a limited or full status as early as January/February. I can’t remember the details of why the prognosis was better than expected though. Maybe doc can remind us when he sees this post in 2024.

I remember hearing AP say he was working with one of the best foot/ankle doctors in the country in California.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

UK looks like Memphis

 

[GVol1966]

Damn tight

Most likely

My greatest fear is Kirby exceeds Saban. No words.

Eric Ainge or Heath Shuler ?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I found my son chewing on electrical cords. So I had to ground him. He’s doing better currently. And conducting himself properly…

Health fanatics are gonna die.....of absolutely nothing.

Kirby isn’t gonna win NCs at 2 places. He isn’t gonna go to a school and basically put them on the map. He isn’t that good. I think Kirby is a really good coach. But he ain’t Saban and the likelihood that he ever will be is very slim.

Avoid sugar. Work out. Have plenty of sex. Recipe for a long life.

I think they are an overrated band too but that seems a little harsh.
