Point being is, the market changed. Money value changed. So yeah if you want to upgrade the price with the price of inflation than the ticket prices are probably on par with what was offered for “a lifetime”

Literally 42 years ago. Yet people are upset. Give me a break. Also, in one of the paragraphs it literally says tickets are only transferable for 30 years which was 2010.

So, the University actually honored it for longer than they had to.

The way I take it is, the original owners of the lifetime membership owns the tickets for the duration of their lives. However, they can transfer their tickets to their children until 2010. Once transferred it only becomes a place holder for those seats. They are not grandfathered into the lifetime membership.
 
I don't think that's nearly a foregone conclusion. I like and appreciate him. But he's fairly close to his ceiling. He's not going to get considerably faster. He's done a very good job of developing his skill to the level of his talent. He's dependable and does all the right things.

That said, there are 3 guys with a higher ceiling than his on the roster now without regard to the portal. Wright is also getting better. He needs to hang onto the ball but very obviously has better speed than Small. Sampson is still a pup but has better quickness, speed, and innate vision than either of the other two. Williams needs development in part because he has that "big back" build.

If you have some personal connection or affinity for Small then I'm sorry for offending you. But objectively speaking... he will not be RB#1 next year if one or more of the others develop their skills to a level close to their talent. There are LOTS of RB's who would be #1 if they portaled in. Some play at small schools or lesser programs and are far too good for the teams they're on.

We have no way of knowing who might be in the portal but let's say someone like Sean Tucker from Syracuse sees UT and Spyre as a good move. There are two certainties. One is he would be #1. Two... barring injury he would flourish in Heupel's O even more than he is now.
No affiliation to Small whatsoever, also not remotely offended. I'm just very keen on coaching styles and behavioral habits. Jabari wasn't near as talented as Tiyon Evans, but Evans was 1b. There are a lot of small intricacies to this offense. Sampson is the most likely guy to challenge for that spot next year because he's picked up the offense faster than anyone else, but he still has a long way to go. If this offense was based around the RB, then your statements would ring true. But this offense is based around the QB. Whoever does those little things most consistently will be the starter at RB. That will continue to be Jabari. In this offense, under this staff consistency>raw talent.

I would still keep an eye on them at all times. They could be playing the long game and will bammer you when you least expect it!
Pretty sure they think her transferring to Tennessee was a rebellion against Jesus lol.

One of you morans goes to church with my in-laws in Bama and was at our wedding. It's been 4 years and I still haven't figured out who.

I pass through Bama only when required to get to the beach.... and I go through decontamination at both the southern and northern borders before entering the next state.
 
Not sure if this is a true story about self-tasering or not, but it is pretty dang funny. Long read, but worth it.

WARNING FOR ALL MALES FROM ME
Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.
The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Dana what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Leo looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.
I must admit I thought about zapping Leo (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. He is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.
Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a singlet with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another.
The directions said that:
a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;
a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and
a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.
I'm sitting there alone, the cat looking on with his head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!
I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note:
If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer,
one note of caution:
There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!
A three second burst would be considered conservative!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.
· My bent reading glasses were on the top of the TV.
· The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.
· My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.
· My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
· I had no control over the drooling.
· Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.
· I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

I rewatched the LSU game last night and rewinded the 4th down stop—Hooker to Hyatt touchdown sequence at least 5 times

My wife who had dozed off beside me woke up because of non-stop Rocky Top and the same commentary playing over and over and said I was operating in a trance like state

What a time
