***But only after being up by 4 Tuddys

Look like Christmas wrapping paper

My brother is a huge fan with no internet service and really wants to see the game. I would imagine most of the bars are pro FSU?

TIA!

with Duke Cannon?

Has anyone ever done this? How does it work?

Pays cash for 4 properties. One in CA for $1.4M in the WHITEST part of town. And they were peaceful fvcking protestors as well. This is what crazy acceptance of bullshit nets you....BULLSHIT.

This is my first year overseeding my fescue and I am looking for advice. I planted it last fall and it burned out pretty good this summer. Questions I have…

1. What prep work needs to be done (dethatching, etc.). I will definitely aerate.
2. What is the best timing for getting the. Seed down?
3. Is topsoil necessary?
4. Watering schedule once it’s down?

Section 8 row 38

My clan usually consists of four, now down to two, may be solo due to comp soccer commitments. But I refuse to concede!!

Who’s making the trek? Anyone tailgating with some TI folks?

.

Again, grilling out of necessity, rather than need....sorta. Threw some Wagyu and Bison cuts in the cooler last Friday when the power went out. Had 'em covered in ice since.

Grilling a Wagyu Denver Steak (thanks @TigerJR....sadly, it's the last of my Wagyu) and a Bison Sirloin tonight.

The wife is in charge of the salad.

Anybody know where to watch the game tonight in Atlanta? I’ve tried to look up Atlanta Clemson Club info and it seems like a ghost town. Any help or feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Announces he is reclassifying to 25 and commits to SCAR. Momentum building for them to get Murph too.

@Paul Strelow do the two seem to have a close relationship?

As much as our fan base enjoys our games and gameday events; on a scale of 0-Chernobyl, how melted down will we all be when we catch that 10:30pm kick against Cal that Miami is experiencing this weekend?

As seen in the ancestor thread there’s a TI member that’s cousins with Dolly. She’s such a great person. As I noted last night, her father couldn’t read, so with her own money, she stared giving out free books to all kids in Sevierville, TN so that people wouldn’t go thru life illiterate. Accordingly, her team formalized what she was already doing and now, you can sign up to have your kid aged 1-5 to get monthly childrens books. She also started paying high school kids $500 to not drop out…drop out rate went from 35% to 5%. TONS of other stuff too.

Came across this just a while ago:


Dollywood, Dolly Parton's amusement park, announced that the company will cover 100% of tuition, fees and books for any Dollywood employee who chooses to pursue further education. This will be offered to all seasonal, part-time, and full-time employees, and they can enroll day 1 of their employment.

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Dollywood on Tuesday announced they'll start paying a hundred percent of tuition for employees who wish to further their education. This includes the cost of fees and textbooks.

The education benefit package is available to all team members on the first day of their employment. The company says it's a way for employees at all levels to pursue their personal and professional dreams.

Piloted by Dolly Parton's operating partner Herschend Enterprises, the program from GROW U. will mark a significant investment for workers. President of Dollywood Company Eugene Naughton says it's an opportunity for employees to grow.

"One of The Dollywood Foundation’s key tenets is to ‘learn more.’ This program is created with that very tenet in mind. We want our hosts to develop themselves through advanced learning to fulfill the foundation’s other tenets: care more, dream more, and be more."
The program will officially launch Feb. 24 for all seasonal, part-time, and full-time employees at Dollywood Parks & Resorts. Hosts can enroll in the program on their first day of employment.

"When our hosts strive to grow themselves, it makes our business and our community a truly better place," Naughton said. "We care about our hosts’ development and we want their future to grow because of love—not loans."

Day 1. 100% tuition. Here’s a chance to get out of poverty or improve your financial situation for yourself and entire family. No pay back. No care about your contributions to the company. Let’s make this world a better place- that’s so profound. WOW

Love this

Clemson-FSU may have lost luster, but Saturday's ACC clash will reveal plenty​

By: Dan Wetzel - Yahoo! Sports

No one could blame Dabo Swinney if he is wearing a bit of a knowing smirk this week.

His Clemson Tigers will visit Florida State on Saturday in a game that was once expected to be not just a marquee matchup in the ACC, but also a litmus test on how to run a program in the modern era.

The marquee part is gone — FSU is 1-4 and starting a backup quarterback.

The litmus part is still there though. These are two programs with different philosophies that are potentially headed in different directions — it’s just not the directions that most would have believed coming into the season.

Clemson is 3-1 and ranked 12th in the country, dusting itself off and looking great after an opening week blowout loss to Georgia. That result sparked a chorus of criticism over Dabo’s distaste for using the transfer portal to bolster the roster.

Florida State, meanwhile, has had a disastrous start to a season where it was supposed to ride the momentum of last year’s 13-0 regular season campaign. A year ago the transfer portal delivered big for coach Mike Norvell. This time it’s been a bust, leaving the program reeling and top recruits fleeing their verbal commitments.

Does that reversal justify Swinney’s decision to stick with homegrown talent? (The only other programs that didn’t take a transfer last offseason were Army, Navy and Air Force.)

Maybe. Or maybe not, especially at the national championship level where the Tigers once operated. It does suggest that if his approach can’t produce a championship-level ceiling, it does offer a high floor. Dabo’s worst season was a year ago when the Tigers went 9-4. That seems pretty appealing right now if you are in Tallahassee.

“I think, certainly, everybody's surprised of where their record is, [but] you also have to give the other teams some credit,” Swinney said. “They've played good teams, you know?”

The Seminoles lost to Georgia Tech, Boston College, Memphis and SMU. They did defeat Cal by five. This isn’t what anyone could have imagined. Now they host a hot Clemson team without their starting QB, D.J. Uiagalelei, the one-time Clemson starter who Norvell brought in as a transfer from Oregon State. The job will fall to Brock Glenn.

"Football's hard,” Swinney said. “It's a hard game. Y'all have heard me talk about it a lot — a few plays here or there can really affect the psyche of a team, the confidence of a team. A couple plays go your way, and the next thing you know, it's different.

“These kids today are growing up with a lot of noise, a lot of pressure — more than at any time ever in football history, when it comes to scrutiny and expectations and criticism and just straight-up negativity,” he continued. “And that's hard.”

Swinney isn’t wrong, but that also amplifies the stakes on Saturday.

The perception of a program, both internally and externally, seemingly matters more now than ever. In the era of the transfer portal, any player who loses faith in the direction of where things are headed can find a convenient out. It can also tighten the wallets of boosters who are needed to fund NIL collectives.

Meanwhile, Norvell has to combat any perception that this is more than a blip on the radar to prospective players — both potential transfers and traditional high school recruits. Everything is sped up these days. Everything is on a razor’s edge.

Saturday can be a nationally-televised chance for Florida State to change the narrative and offer a shot of optimism. Or it can be an opportunity for Clemson to put its foot on its rival’s neck and whoop it up at Doak Campbell. It would get them to 4-1 but also give Dabo more justification for what he’s selling — loyalty to his recruits by not bringing in replacement talent.

Norvell would love to do it the Clemson way — or something close. Every coach would. Developing players over the years, building a long-term culture and relying on veterans and experience is a proven blueprint. The portal was supposed to offer a bridge to the Seminoles until their high school recruiting work restocked the roster.

A perfect regular season — despite the playoff snub — was expected to pay off. Florida State has always been a desirable and exciting place to play college football. It’s even better when it’s winning and it was winning. Add in uncertainty and struggles at in-state rival Florida, and they should have been able to scoop up more than their share of Sunshine State talent.

Instead that seems to have all evaporated in a little over a month. Three four-star recruits (two from Florida, one from South Carolina) have de-committed in the last month alone. FSU’s current recruiting class has just 11 players and ranks 39th in the country, per Rivals.com.

There’s still plenty of time until signing day, but, again, this is not what anyone expected.

The worse the high school recruiting is, the more the transfer portal is needed. It can pay off, but it’s a roll of the dice, as FSU knows all too well from the last couple of years.

Clemson, meanwhile, wants to prove it's back and getting better, maybe even enough to make that Georgia loss just a bad day at the office. After six consecutive playoff appearances, it hasn’t qualified for the last four. In the 12-team era though, it has plenty of paths to get back.

Saturday could be another step in that direction. And another step in a different direction, one inconceivable recently, for the Seminoles.

Something seems different. Almost like they know Trump is going to win and they are panicking.

15.7 million jobs created during his term. The most EVER in a single term.

This compares, BTW, to the second worst jobs record in American history (behind only Hoover) under Trump.


The US economy is absolutely booming under Biden and Harris. As the Chief Economist at Moody’s says, “the economy is as good is it gets.”

Jobs are being created like gangbusters. GDP is growing at a record pace - and is now higher than economists predicted it would be before at this point before the pandemic. Inflation has fallen back to historical norms. Wages have grown more than prices over Biden’s term. US oil production is so high that is broke the back of OPEC.


I know you goobs hate America and are rooting for this great nation to fail.

But guess what? We not only haven’t failed, we are thriving! Thanks to Joe and Kamala.

So go suck it you America-hating commie snowflakes!!!!

This is pretty sick. They are 2-2 so it’s time to sit out and hope for 1 more payday.

He only led the team in carries and yards.

From our South Carolina site here at Rivals.com:

I think Clemson would fare well in this conference. I was looking at Penn State in particular and they are basically the 4th best team? I would love to grab them in the playoffs if they make it. Right now I think it’s OSU and OU. It will be interesting to see how the committee views the conference championship losers. This 12 team thing is going to be a fun watch on who’s in and who’s out.

Ran into an o!der gentleman this morning that I heard discussing trying to contact his 84 year old brother that lives in Glen Alpine NC just west of Morganton. Has not heard from him since the hurricane. Any of you near that area and know a Bill Jarvis? If you have a status on him and his family I'll pass it on to his brother. This is so sad. Thanks.

Has the portal finally caught up to FSU or has everyone else to the portal?
