I thought it did and even considered posting "why was momma carrying a gun around?" but then I realized that my mom carried a gun my whole life and still does. It would be pretty hypocritical of me to jump on that bit of the story so I'm going to give her the same benefit of the doubt that I give my own mom and guess that she carried because she felt she needed something extra to keep her and her children safe. That's why mom started - she'd drive up the mountain alone or with just her and us kids in the car and carrying a gun seemed reasonable, especially on a long lonely stretch of road before cell phones. Now, it's just a bit of protection and habit, I guess.

I know dozens of women who carry. My daughters carry, and my daughter in law carries, and her sister and mom do too.

Florida has made hires like this for a while. It hasn't really worked since Urban but I guess that one was such a big success that it really seems like they're taking for granted all the success they've had over the past 2 decades as an AD. Which to me is odd given that Foley has been retired for a few years now and Stricklin seems to have been brought in with the intention of hiring Dan Mullen when/if they needed to. Now that Mullen is gone they still have Stricklin but he hires a guy well known to Louisiana and Mississippi people but not so much to everyone else.

IDK if Stricklin really knows how to make things work at UF and have the feeling that he doesn't or the drama surrounding Mullen's exit and the hiring of Napier doesn't happen. Napier is thought well of but he's always felt more like a hire that OM or MSU make rather than Florida. But what is really mind-boggling to me is that they're paying him ~$7.4 mil a year. That's nuts considering his background or lack thereof.

For as much as gators will remind us of Urban being from a smaller school, Urban had a ton more success to back up that hire and didn't get nearly as much. I'm just wondering what the hell is going on down there. I hope it's as chaotic as numbers like that for a relatively 'meh' hire make it look.

Great points. Fascinated to see how this plays out. Either Billy Napier is actually another Urban Meyer or... Yikes.

Quick shout out to my man Jelly Roll, he's starting to get play on rock and country stations. Grew up in the same circles and now it looks like he's about to hit mainstream. If you don't know his stuff check him out.

Dead Man Walking got me hooked. I’m a heavy metal music girl, but he’s been added to my work playlist.

No doubt but I don't recall him ever saying anything was done. Did I miss something? Why do some seen to be going after him, what did I miss?

Seems like you didn’t need a translator. 😉 I welcome whatever they want to bring. Haven’t edited any of my posts on this. No promises…lots of “if”’s to go with the excitement I felt at the POTENTIAL for the program if it went down. I think most of VN recognizes my history on here. Never say I know a guy who…. Difference between me and ATLVol is he had actual connections and wanted to be liked on here. I’m totally unfettered by either. 😎

Simple, they’re stupid. Period. They’re like sharks looking for any sign of blood in the water, but this time, someone accidentally spilled a bucket of food coloring. Comes with the territory. I’m really gonna set them off with a emoji 😏.
