This is EXACTLY how I feel and what I was also trying to express in this post. I am just baffled by the lack of direction around this process. It's great that we're getting the funding we should be getting, don't get me wrong. But without competent operators at the wheel, all that money is beginning to feel like shit being thrown at the wall. It's such a bad look.

Let's have 20 people in a room with 20 different ideas, and then give one person/department the responsibility for making all those ideas come to fruition-usually, the MarComm department.

Footage from the drum blitz that started on September 9 and ran for almost a week and a half. Still sick to my stomach that I only got to fish one day of it.

Weird how the audio from the call just cut out... must have been in a cell dead zone.

if you look at heat maps/equivalent of where HS football talent comes from, Iowa is pretty cool. I think winning consistently there is outstanding.

2019 but not that out of date

Yeah, something fishy absolutely went on at ESPN yesterday.

A Paul Finebaum caller brought up today's reports about ESPN allegedly pulling Finebaum off the air during his radio show. He was yanked immediately. pic.twitter.com/B4N037hMxl— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) October 6, 2025

I definitely feel your pain. Have had issues before that led to long stints with mechanics. One of the stranger ones was a small 9.9 motor that just wouldn't run. It was all I had at the time, so I was screwed without it. Finally, after 6 weeks with this guy, Shug, who was considered a knowledgeable and capable mechanic, I had had enough. I called Shug and told him I was coming the next day to pick up the motor to take elsewhere. The next morning, he called me back and told me to wait until afternoon to get it. When I arrived, my motor was purring like a kitten in a tub in his shop. He proudly took me in to see it and told me that the solution came to him in a dream the night before and it was fixed and ready to go. Seems that the exhaust port had become clogged, unusual in a small motor that usually ran all out, but he'd never seen it in a small engine before. He cut the bill in half and told me he never wanted to see that motor again. Ran great for me until I sold it.

Fishing here is still pretty poor, but the speckled trout recruitment was very good this year so we expect good trout fishing next season. We got 30 one day last week, with a 19 in the mix. No drum, though. None. It was a good year for me to have a busted trailer, keeping me off the water for more than a month. Thankfully, I do have a neighbor who's kept me out every couple of weeks, but the fishing's so poor, I'm just not feeling much loss.

Imagine having a sitting Alabama senator with a sports call in show though.

I still think folks are missing the bigger deal with this all. Yeah, money for the program is good, but it's the NIL money that is ultimately leading to wins. Look at UVA. They received a 10 mil donation this offseason specifically for it and they were able to bring in OL, a great RB, a great QB, and some WR's. We can have all the good coaches we want, but if we don't have the talent, it doesn't matter.

DUVALLLLL!!

Don't worry. Their plan is to hire another Top 10 all time hall of fame of coach and to let them successfully handle everything in spite of the lack of comprehensive institutional support.

Honestly, I'm going to chalk that up with my brain just missing a game. I was googling and looking and I didn't see the UNC game somehow that night. Maybe Google was wrong. I can go with that too.
