Hopefully Kiffin takes LSU. Ole Miss being good makes it that much more difficult in an already stacked SEC. LSU is always expected to be good.

I would imagine Ole Miss and Auburn will have
a 48 hour bidding war on Sumrall and Arkansas hires Wommack or Silverfield. I have a feeling that Golesh backs out of that deal.

Of course Gator fans are going to rip this fake insider guy to shreds now. He's trying to stick with his story. Nothing to see. Kiffin is still coming. Those guys aren't having it.

"Gator raid you ******** fraud man. You know how much money you cost me?"

Breaking News. My source is my gut feeling based on nothing more or less valuable than most breaking News from "experts":
Kiffin stays at Ole Miss
Arkansas hires Kane Wommack
Auburn hires Sumrall
LSU hires Derek Dooley
Florida hires Jeremy Pruitt (last two my gut was responding to overeating yesterday)

Also: Think we beat Vandy by 10+ tomorrow, Right or Wrong I don't think the outcome will have any impact on recruiting, bowl game, or portal targets.

Tiger was about 5/6 years behind me, but we heard stories and knew how great he was. I rooted against him early on because of the “hype”

We heard stories about how arrogant he was, but one he burst on the scene, he got worse.

I’ve never been a fan and rooted against him in 2019……but I will say that I’ve never witnessed anyone hit a golf ball like he did. Ever.

I’ve softened on him lately. I and so many others rooted against him out of pure jealousy. I admit it.

He and every other pro are so far out of my league that jealousy can’t really enter the picture. Frankly, my problem with him for a long time was that he just wasn’t relatable.

I think I speak for a lot of golfers when I say we can empathize with even the very best because even they aren’t immune to the devious whims of the golfing gods. BUT, for about a ten year stretch, those same rules didn’t seem to apply to Tiger. I think that same principle is why Jack is so much more appreciated now than when he was in his prime.

Once injuries, age, and frankly just life, caught up with Tiger and he started being humbled by the sport to some degree, he suddenly became quite easy to root for.

Yeah it’s crazy. Don’t have kids yet but my sibling, cousins, and friends who do put the extra effort in because it’s so bad at schools nowadays. Apparently the school curriculum is so bad now they aren’t even teaching kids cursive but teach them text abbreviations like lol 🤦🏻‍♂️ . This was what I was told by friends who’s kids were in the same school district I was in which was top 100 in the country when I was kid. Feels like the movie Idiocracy is slowly but surely becoming a reality.

Weird, but not sure writing in cursive is the crux either.

The saddest part of standard US education is how little even HS grads know about the rest of the world. We're mostly taught about our own bubble and it feeds a shallowness of foreign affair debate and empathy.

Wish we had more "sister cities" intreraction via things like pen pals or live video feeds connecting students around the world. The first, best step to minimizing lack of empathy and ignorance is often just a simple bit of exposure therapy, per se. Then you realize it's just another human on the other side, with similar aspirations and needs for safety, family, prosperity.

"they aren't even teaching cursive?" That's the epitome of educational malpractice for you? Why in our day would anyone need to know cursive? When is the last time you wrote in cursive? It's fine to teach it, but it's beyond unnecessary.

I'm not defending the general, modern, public curriculi, but I'm baffled that you use that as your prime example against it.

You're right, but understand this is all very intentional. It's all our responsibility as parents to provide our children with all of this stuff. We just cannot leave it to the State when we can see with our eyes that they are doing a progressively worse job of "educating" kids, and to think it's anything other than intentional seems naive at this point. Schools aren't just failing to educate our children, in many cases it's leading them away from God on purpose.

I'm not trying to say, "I'm a great parent. I failed at none of these things." I have a grown child, who I don't have a relationship with, who thinks I'm crazy because I say things like this today.

Not being preachy. Trying to use my failures to help others who have a chance to do better.

I don't know why you saw this and not the next part: they are teaching them acronyms and text abbreviations in school. It's also not the only issue he mentioned.

How about this, spend every second you ever spend teaching kids what 'lol' and 'brb' mean, and teach them how to actually write and communicate?
