Cutting it not as bad as stripping it!

Stripping tobacco was the easiest part of the whole process.

I'm a tall guy and hated cutting. I'd usually only cut a day or two before spending the rest of that season in a barn housing. I mostly worked the wagon/ground where my height was an advantage.

Does UL really deserve a top 25 ranking?

Crankdatmustard
Short answer, of course not. But their schedule is a damn breeze, AGAIN. But we will beat them AGAIN so they can be ranked whatever they want we are miles ahead of their program.

VA Tech was considered a dark horse to win their conference yet they lost to VANDY 🤣

Our schedule they go 6-6 this year

Terribly off-base and ignorant, and I don't know what specifically you are referring to, but it likely hearkens back to Patton's "we fought the wron enemy" sentiment.

The enemy was/is socialism, be it nacional (fascist) or international (communist). Both are equally vile and pernicious, completely antithetical and incompatible with our foundational American values premised on freedom, i.e. free-enterprise capitalism.

Knowing Tucker I’m guessing there’s probably a lot more to it if you listen to the whole interview and those were just chosen quotes to make him look bad. The guy seems about as sensible as they come, so I can’t imagine he’d come out and say “Hitler wasn’t wrong” while a the same time being all for Israel fighting Hamas.

Except I've watched several podcast with him and he's said he's a physicist and mathematician.... Never mentioned economist. He did say he was a bad guitar player though... Got it?

Mathematicians often make good economists, formally trained in the subject or not. Does he deny he's an economist? Does look like it:

"Eric Weinstein is a Mathematician, Economist, and a frequent public speaker on a variety of subjects within the sciences. Currently, he is Managing Director of Thiel Capital "


"Eric Ross Weinstein (/ˈwaɪnstaɪn/; born October 26, 1965)[2] is an American investor and financial executive."

"Eric Weinstein is an American mathematician and economist. He earned his Ph.D in mathematical physics from Harvard University in 1992, is a research fellow at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University,"

New MLB proposal?

JonathanW
I've read in a couple different places the past week about MLB wanting to REQUIRE teams to keep their SP in the game 6 innings, unless they have already gone over 100 pitches or given up 4 ER (or I assume get injured). And I do think that could reduce injuries. Why? Because starting pitchers, knowing they aren't going to be in there for long are going 100% like RPs but throwing twice as many pitches as an RP. Whereas when guys would throw complete games, maybe they were only going at 90-95% wanting to finish what they started. I also think another reason is all of the new pitches, cutters, etc... being thrown putting more pressure on the elbow.

However, rather than creating a requirement of teams to keep their SP in for 6 innings, what do you think of this solution?
- Both leagues now have the DH. The DH is a surrogate at the plate for the pitcher, a stunt double. But he is often one of the better (say top 5-6) hitters on the team. Why not instead make that when you substitute out your SP, you are also substituting out his lineup surrogate (the DH). So, it would be more of an incentive to keep your SP in longer, than a requirement to do so.
- I would limit it to when you replace your SP, because if you do it after every pitching change, you might run out of players to DH (without having pitchers start DH'ing).

That’s kind of a weird way to describe it imo. I understand sports and fandom but it’s not that different from any other job that 99% of us do. If you had two companies wanting you to be an accountant you’d typically go with the one that paid the most if it was significant. If it was close then you’d probably go for other factors but if one wanted to pay you 30% more it’s going to be difficult to say no.

Grew up doing hay, tobacco, and cattle. Now we just have cattle and buy the hay. We do raise a big garden every year and have a few chickens for egg production.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about "the big garden too". we had one near the house about the size of a basketball court. But then about a mile away on 13 acres we had another garden about the length of a football field but only half as wide.

Yup.

UT played the mighty Chattanooga Mocs, an FCS team in the Southern Conference (Cupcake's Cupcake)

Bama played Western, a FBS team, but as an alum, I have no problem saying, this was expected. It was at Bama and WKU doesn't have near the talent as a PRIME SEC historical powerhouse. It'd be like Lipscomb playing UK in basketball.

Ole Miss played Furman, another FCS juggernaut in the Southern Conference

OK played Temple, while an FBS team, they are predicted to finish dead stinking last in their conference. And again, at OK a football blue blood.

Texas probably played the most noteworthy FBS team in Colorado State, picked to finish 5th in the MW. Comparing UK to Texas is just stupid however, it's night and day. Again, game at Austin against a college program that thinks football is God.

Mizzou played played Murrah. Now, just like WKU, I like Murray. Let's not pretend that's a football program. They got beat like 52-14.....by Austin phreaking Peay. That's how bad Murray State's football program is. They got punked by AUSTIN PEAY. So, a cupcake's cupcake.

Ohio State played the might Zips of Akron, and FBS team that's picked to finish 11th.....in the MAC..... Also, again, comparing UK to Ohio State is a joke. I love UK but Ohio St is a football blue blood. They have 8 national titles. Come on.

And UofSmell played Austin Peay, need I say more?


So of those blowouts, four were against FBS teams......the rest against FCS. And of the four FBS blowouts, there's 37 national titles between those schools. (Texas has 4, OK has 7, Ohio St has 8, and Bama has 18).

So while Texas probably played the best FBS team, they all had complete games. We did not.

Let's stop acting like we played bad Sat night. We had a freaking 3-4 hour delay and then couldn't finish the damn game.

We did what we were supposed to do. We dominated them. We gave them 5 yards of rushing all night. Did we beat a title team? No, not even close. We did beat a team that has talented transfers.

We just need to keep working and go out and thump the Gamecocks.

Who's acting like we played bad? Did I ever say we played bad? but lets also not kid ourselves into thinking we played a better team than any of those others that got waxed. Southern Miss was 3-9 last season, and not looking to be much improved this year.

31-0 in barely over 2 quarters is a pretty impressive start even by our standards and considering all the circumstances with the delays. I'm not here to bitch about our performance by any stretch. My whole point was that typically when we get a lead like that we take our foot off the gas and start running it up the middle every play so as to not "embarass" our opponent. It's been something Stoops has done regularly against OOC foes (minus Louisville) and we end up with some scores that aren't indicative of the game that was played. All I was saying was that if that game had gone on much longer we would have likely gone to doing just that, running it up the middle and our third string defense allowing a cheap score or two. That's it, nothing more. We were up 31-0 five minutes into the third quarter. That projects out to about a 52-0 type score or so, if we keep playing and don't let off the gas. That's what I want to see for once in a game like this and I used the others as examples of the fact that no matter who your opponent is FCS, FBS, whatever, they're paid a crap ton of money to come in there and get the snot kicked out of them. No need to play conservative and nice when you get a nice lead.
