Happy Sunday

May 19, 2024: There are things that I want to reveal to you that you have not yet considered. However, you have to come to Me in the Spirit to see and understand. Position yourself to receive the revelations of this time in your life, says the Lord, and I will show you things to come. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You.

So last year when we finished 14th (247 sports), that was just tradition and hotbed? Heupel and staff didn’t add much? In 2022 we finished 17th. How did the coaches make it worse than our natural spot? If we’re top 15 just based on tradition and hotbed location, you’d think good coaches would have us top 7-8 consistently.

You're trying waaaay to hard.

We also finished in the top 10 the year before.

Carry on

My first order of business is to leave the video games to others. Never was my cup of tea anyways but now I just don't give a crap.

Oh I care. I care about which blade of grass in my yard needs clipping at morning's breath, which dish needs putting up, which fanny to wipe whilst pottying.

Oh yes, I care!

Well, I am past the fanny wiping portion of my parenting phase, but yeah these are basically the things I care about too. Husband/Father type things.

Tennessee could be an Independent school
and they would still have a Top 15 class because of the tradition and the recruiting hotbed they are smack dab in the middle of

The only example of this is Georgia Tech, which was a southern powerhouse until they left the SEC. Look where they are now. Same would happen to UT or any other SEC school not named Alabama. Tech thought with their swagger and reputation that outside the SEC they would become the Notre Dame of the South in the 1960’s. Sorry, Bobby Dodd.

I loved going in Radio Shack and playing with the RC cars, 😂. It was cool seeing the hi-tech cd players and voice recorders/microphones too. They had some pretty dope cordless phones most of the time.

That's where I get my first PC. . . an IBM Aptiva A12. Wish I still had it. Those things are worth a lot considering they're basically useless now. I saw one sell for around $1,200 a while back.

I saw people upgrading the ram and HDD in these. I can't remember if it was because it was the only type of PC that could run certain programs or if they were making new "old" programs and games for them.

Either way, certainly not worth $1,200 unless you're collecting it on sentimental value or the idea that someone will pay a lot more later on.

All deez bishes fantasizing about stealing Tony. That is, when they're not ranting about how much they hate him. 😂

He. Ain't. Leaving.

He’ll get a healthy raise again this off-season (as he should) and then everyone will move on. If he didn’t go anywhere in 2021, he’s not going anywhere now.

They're around, but it will never be as cool as it was seeing the very first of some technologies. The briefcase cellphones, pocket computers, etc. Seeing the static globe send a bolt of lightning where ever you touched it was pretty cool too. Let's not forget about their assortment of lava lamps either, 😂.

Remember the long range sonic bionic (parabolic) listening devices?
