Either the time I stuck a knife in a wall outlet when I was, Idunno, six or seven (who the fuck knows what I was thinking), or that time playing pitching machine baseball when I was, Idunno, nine or so, when I threw a baseball up into a tree, waited to catch it, it took too long, moved my glove, and then broke my nose.

If Friday Night Lights (the movie) had been about baseball instead.

Some people really love gatekeeping, don’t they?

Mine was on the advertising side as opposed to the PR side (the PR side is what’s more well-thought of, you’re more than welcome to hate on things like theory of persuasion, but this kind of elitism is annoying at best) and I used it to supplement a B.A. in graphic design because I didn’t just want some random…

Because that money wouldn’t be donated to academics if the option to donate to the AD wasn’t a thing. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but it’s a cultural thing down here. Rich alumni and bandwagon fans that never even went to UA want to donate to the football team. I do what I can to give back to the school because…

Advertising, but it was from the same department.

South AL loves the Saints, everyone else couldn’t care less.

The UA business school, law school, and PR program at the grad level are pretty well respected (my Masters is from the latter).

The budgets are separate. I’m not saying that as an excuse, it’s just the truth. Fact is, a lot of old money Alabamians are willing to donate towards athletics and not the school itself and those accounts are separate (and we’re one of the few ADs in the black). The school absolutely needs investment as well. Though…

You’d be surprised by how many good-ol’-boy and old-money lawyers we’ve got down here. Welcome to Mountain Brook.

The state and the university could use WAY more money, however, there is a separate budget for athletics from donors. And I can’t imagine that same budget would’ve existed for the university at large. Welcome to Alabama.

Ender looked like he was ready to fucking go.

Good on Snit for leading the charge out there. What an absolutely spineless move from Urena.

It was absolutely intentional.

Tried the PC trial… game is super buggy.

The main thing I wanted from the Titans uniform redesign this offseason was a new, better logo (or at least the T/sword logo). Just, ugh.

And then men win 99.999% of every athletic competition in existence.

I would agree with you if there wasn’t a proven history of hardware deprecation via software evolution.

How about you don’t force it at all? I use both Windows and macOS and like both, but at least macOS doesn’t force any updates on me. They give me too many notifications about it, but I can at least click “no”. 

That’s not how being in public works.
