Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

You consider Applebees a bar?

The ones next to a waffle house.

Of course not. Just going along with the Applebee's joke

I've looked at similar stuff. It's difficult to make money. Believe it or not, margins are slim. In order to make money you have to make 100's of them. That requires a pretty big facility. Much bigger than mine. Plus it brings in DOT stuff. It would take about 50 of those to equal one of our current products.

I don't see how in the world margins are slim on those teardrops, but if you say so.

I mean at eight grand you are talking $133 a square foot or so...there is no way it costs anywhere close to that much. My brother in law built one himself for a couple grand.

Miami Hurricanes QB D’Eriq King Has Already Pulled In More Than $20K, Has More Than 50 Offers From Brands

Man...great timing to have a household name QB and a marketable one at that. Now they can forever sell to recruits how much 1 kid made in the NiL inaugaration year, which might end up the biggest ever.

Meanwhile we got Maurer waiting for someone to slide into his DMs.

I'm waiting for McDonalds to step up and pay some of our players to hawk their product----that would be classic

Prayers to Mark Richt during this time.

Did he include labor, health insurance, taxes, overhead (building, utilities, etc), advertising, indirect costs (HR, accounting, legal, etc), fringe benefits?

Costs-to-product are so much more for businesses and some will even have diseconomies of scale to a degree or large step-costs. Just sayin - but I do like your idea...but will defer to the boatmaker as well.

Sounds like someone needs to pay for his own schooling

Reminds me of one time I was at a marina on Norris Lake here in East Tennessee.

It was late, after midnight for sure. I was chewing the fat with a couple of buddies and the owner of the marina. It was pitch black except for the lights out side the marina restaurant. We heard the faint sound of a small outboard off in the distance. We looked toward the sound but saw nothing. In a few minutes a small john boat enters the light. Not nary a light on it. One guy pulls up and gets out. He evidently was camping across the lake as it had been raining all day and he was covered with mud. He was wearing overalls with no shirt. He calmly gets out and walks over. The marina owner says "can I help you?" The guy says "yea, is the bar open?" The owner says, "this is a marina, not a bar". The guys answers, "Do you sell beer?" The owner responded, "Yes, we sell beer". The guy says " well, it's a bar then".

He's got a point.

Looking at our transfers and completely forgot about Mohan.

You'd be surprised. If you look at raw material, sure. But it involves so many trades. Welders, fabricators, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical. Add in overhead, insurance is ridiculous. $2-$3K goes toward product liability insurance on one of our boats, even more for the higher end models. And I've never had a claim. I know those companies are making money but you have to do so much volume to do it.

I understand that, and I get why he wouldn't mess with it as much as he makes on his houseboats. I still think you could turn one out at 5,000 and still make 2,000.

These little mom and pop factories making these things are booming.

Terrible... I know we joke about the lost control jokes but by all accounts he was a good man and a good coach.

Still is.

My daughter got me this shirt for Father’s Day.

She said that she couldn’t resist when she read the last part. Said that it captured me perfectly…

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

The more quality transfer we take, the more I am starting to believe we could sneak to eight wins...

Plot twist… you're the guy?

I was just reading the plot for F9 (Fast and Furious) and just had to share. When did this franchise go Sharknado?

“…Using the rocket car, Tej and Roman enter orbit and ram themselves into the satellite, stopping the upload. Cipher, remotely flying an attack jet, bombs the truck and kills Otto in an attempt to kill Dom; Dom uses the ricocheting truck destroys Cipher's plane. Dom and Mia reconcile with Jakob and allow him to escape in Dom's car. A spaceship returns Tej and Roman to Earth…”

 

[drvenner]

So glad that I took out a 2nd mortgage to go to the Braves game tonight and Acuna is not playing

Walk it off

 

[drvenner]

I miss seeing @BaldBiker post. Wish he'd pop in so at least we'd know he was doing well. Someone else I haven't seen post in a while is GeuxVols. Anyone know what he's up to these days?

Geaux Vols posted in the Turnage thread today.
