[3rdDegreeVol]

I know I've been absent for a little bit but I had reason... As much as it killls me to post this, the love of my life, a man I had been with for 27 years, is gone. We all thought it would happen back in March but he made it to Aug and I'm angry but grateful for it. Half of my soul is gone and IDK if it will ever be replaced but all of you have been such a tremendous support to me and such a large part of the journey that you deserve to know even though all I really want to do is sink inside the deepest hole I can find.

I can't thank you enough for how much you supported us over the years. You might not have known it but Brian was an alum and I just don't have the words to describe how much he meant to me or how much every thought, prayer, and good thought meant to me. I'm shattered and I have no idea what happens next. He was my everything in so many ways. But last night he went into cardiac arrest after his long illness and when I saw him he was brain dead. I was forced to make a decision that no one should ever have to make but I knew he was no longer there this time.

He escaped death so many times and we both received so much love and support here. I am absolutely shattered - half of me is gone - but I'm also grateful for everything VN did for us. Please keep me and him in your thoughts and thank you so much for everything. You have no idea how much you've meant to me these past few years.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the pain you must be feeling right now.

Omg...THAT is what you got out of that?...that post had nothing to do with this LiV argument. You guys think LiV is awesome...I think it sucks and has done great damage to the game and the career legacies of the guys that went there, and I can't wait until it f'n dies.

I don't, or more correctly..can not..really blame them for taking that money though. Phil, Bubba and Dustin were on the downhill of their careers and got more money for a few years of playing crap gimmick golf than they probably made in their whole career, and the other mid-tier PGA guys that took the Saudi money were never going to make that kind of money in their PGA career...so I get it..

I wish LiV had never happened, I would love to see Brooks, Patrick and Bryson out there with the other great players that stuck with the tour.

I hope at some point LiV goes under and everybody gets back together....but with the Saudis evidently being able to just burn billions with absolutely no care if there is any return...It probably will just go on ruining a few great players Hall of Fame legacy chances.

Awesome?!? LOL. I think it's useless and unwatchable.

I also think they owe me nothing with regard to how they get paid. Somebody wants to pay you stupid money to pay a *game* in a different way, good for you.

Anybody watching the Alcoa / Maryville game?

Alcoa has a RT that is absolutely huge. I have no clue if he's any good or not but he is a moose. I think it said he's 6' 8".

Said he has committed to TexascTech. The Maryville big guy is our target.

Lots of solid athletes on both sides of the ball. New world for Alcoa this year after 10 straight class 3 titles, moving up to class 4.

I have attended more HS games at Alcoa than anywhere for years due to location and ease of parking, before they built a new building in my lot of choice. May go see some better new foes this year. Hated to spend time and money to go see them boat race most teams. Older and both cranky and creaky so we shall see. Got beat out by my couch tonite.

It blows my mind that the Charmin crowd just assumes the guy in charge was just being a dick, when they have no idea how long that guy has been putting up with that guys .

Before the 07 crash I had up to 60 guys working for our commercial flooring company in Florida...everybody that worked hard and well loved working for me...the lazy ass loafing whiny excuse makers didn't, but they never lasted long, I didn't put up with their stupid bull....I could not afford to with contracts ranging from 30 G up to a quarter million riding on good professional work getting done right and on time.

I assumed that was the kind of prick the OP was dealing with...the Charmin commie side assumes the worker is being mistreated...says a lot about their indoctrination.

When everything went belly up for us in early 07...I made sure the installing crews got paid FIRST before anybody else including myself, and when we went bankrupt, I personally lost everything, my home, my vehicles...furniture and my name...everything except for what really mattered in the end...my wife and children...and I honestly almost lost my mind while frantically trying to hold it together, but one thing I didn't do, I didn't fold, I did not go into a hole and just being a whiny baby about it, we packed up what we had left and moved to Alabama where my BiL got me a job working for 10 dollars an hour for the construction company he worked for...and I am thankful to this day for that job.

For someone who gets absolutely BENT out of shape anytime someone points out your Eeyore energy you sure are making big leaps. When we don't know anything other than the very brief post made...you've jumped to some major conclusions to try and support your stance and now you're calling all of us who disagree Charmin commies on top of that because we don't just fall in line with your opinion...like actual commies do?

I had a grown man tell me I hurt his feelings this morning. It's hard for me to process how soft some guys are these days. He has been dragging ass around the shop being a dark cloud and pouting. I told him he needs to bring more Pooh and less Eeyore energy. That's it... Dude has a beard and works on HVAC and got butthurt over that. Probably an aTm fan LOL

I sense lots of Anger in here, maybe a group hug will help...

What sort of Disney character energy is that?!?

Damn. So, very sorry for your loss. Your grief is nothing anyone else should dictate to you. Be angry, be sad, stay in bed all day, you do what you can and don't worry about what you can't. With time you will find small things that can help you, but give yourself the most grace during this terrible time.

What's great is how everyone ignores that Pooh is basically fat and lazy and drunk on honey.

8.6 wins is very close to the FPI @ 8.9 wins.

My spreadsheet simulator says 8.8.

I'll be quite happy with 9-3. I think, even if JA isn't good enough to beat one of the top 3 (where we typically have needed a very good QB to overcome), I think we're just too far ahead of many of the rest.

Still think we grab 1 big upset, but drop 1 vs the cumulative group of [OU, Arky, Miss St, Cuse, UK, Vandy].

That’s where I’m at as well. I think we have a chance to beat Bama in Tuscaloosa, only to turn around and have a really stupid loss to Oklahoma.

I don’t know what’s worse. This story as a whole or the fact you and your family had to end up in Alabama.

Patrick...as in that cheating bastard Patrick Reed? Glad he's gone.

Rahm is the one guy that I actually miss alot. Would have preferred that Brooks stayed too. I'm not a fan of Bryson at all. Glad he's keeping Reed company on the exhibition tour.

The way I explain it is the LIV tour asks players how much their childhood dreams are worth to them.
