If I make it to 61, I am buying a white Ford pick em up and OCing a 1911. I doubt I'll get into Garands but will use my HK91 as my lawn gun.

College football is the cash cow for athletic departments all over. Ticket sales, some school seat 80, 90 100K plus. Add food, beverages, shirts and all the other things that are sold the moneys huge.

Lacrosse, soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, hockey ect. cost schools money that football pays for. And what the athletic departments doesn't use, the school gets to use. That's why it happens.

Just saw this and that you mentioned me, lol.

Yes, spot on with what I meant. For my state school, the athletics program is valued at (cue Dr Evil), one BILLION dollars.

As we are seeing currently with NCAABB, it takes a skilled person of integrity to handle that in a proper way. That's a helluva asset to gamble, just because teachers are underpaid. And most of them are.

Hey, I'm ahead of schedule!

Ok, its a Cummins Ram 4x4 instead of a 2wd F-150 with a cane in the gunrack.

Remember, 60 is the new 40!

Sure, the joints ache a bit and pop,but I'm more active and doing more fun stuff than in my early 50s.
