Baseball stadium. TMO dead to me.

Baseball stadium now has 12 foot fence all the way around. I am a student who parks in the outfield for almost every game. Typically one of the very few in the outfield for midweek games. I now feel compelled to rarely go. The only good thing about UCF baseball was rowdy outfield for big games, that is now gone. Congrats Terry, genius way of destroying this baseball program.

OT: NY6 / CFP Semi TV Ratings

Cotton was lower than a few non-NY6 games (albeit those games had huge brands in them).

I was a little surprised by how low Cotton was. Rose Bowl down drastically from years prior.

Rose: 10.2M (PSU/Utah)
Sugar: 9.1M (Bama/KSU)
Orange: 8.7M (TN/Clem)
Cotton: 4.2M (TLN/USC)

Peach: 22.4M (OSU/UGA)
Fiesta: 21.7M (UM/TCU)

**UCF NY6 ratings: 2017 Peach: 8.8M, 2018 Fiesta 8.4M, 2013 Fiesta 11.2M

Gus on daniels show right now

Says he talked to nfl guys about oc role. Same other info about hinshaw

Bianchi rambling now

Says he hasn’t even had time to reflect and outlines how chaotic roster management

Uncertainly says he feels certain we can win the big 12

Gus says after beating cincy Gus decided he can’t keep calling plays. He said he went home and should have been happy but he decided then he needed to give it up and focus on fundraising and roster management

Says hinshaws offense will be similar, but faster.

Daniels asked if he thinks coaches adopt their conferences’ mentality and I think that’s a fascinating question.

Daniels asked about weakness the line and Gus acknowledged we needed bigger bodies there.

Bianchi asked him about Mike Leach and said Gus said his first and last games were against him

Constitutional Carry, Concealed Carry Permits and Reciprocity Questions

So, hoping some CC holders here, even if in Florida, can help me cut through some of the cruft ... especially since I drive between Alabama and Florida, including through Georgia, and often. And ... if I ever travel with it, I keep my firearm unloaded, in the loaded magazines, in a safe, out of arm's reach.


First off, I'll get those 'politics out of the way,' as it's not the focus. For those who haven't heard, Alabama finally passed Constitutional Carry after it's been debated for years.


The USCCA, NSSF and, of course, the NRA have been pushing for it for years ... especially the USCCA, even if the NRA 'takes the focus off' the USCCA. If anything, I'm kinda a 'closet fan' of the NRA now, after long 'being critical' of them, because they serve as the 'whipping boy' while the USCCA gets things passed. But even then, you'd figure Alabama is a state that would be one of the first, not the 22nd, especially since the supermajority of former law enforcement in the Alabama legistator support it. :)

A big resaon has been that, while a majority of Sherrifs support Constitutional Carry when it passes in other states, ironically, in Alabama, it's been a minority ... especially smaller counties. Although the National Media likes to make it about that, they cannot erase their history on why. I.e., so many Alabamans have permits, it's a significant amount of money ... enough that, yeah, even a private e-mail detailed that.



But since it's now passed ...


Secondly, I'm a huge USCCA fan, pay my $600/year, and always believed in their insurance, even when I didn't own a firearm, back when I didn't live rural and have to deal with predators and varmints, especially anything that could attack my dog (even if they didn't attack me).

I wanted added insurance should I ever get into a physical altercation on my own property, or even in my own vehicle, or ... well ... anywhere, even without a firearm. Homeowners insurance doesn't cover a lot of physical altercations, and USCCA covers not just guns, but knives, fists, even weapons of opportunity, should I or anyone I care about be attacked. Hence ...


Third, what are the advantages of still getting a Concealed Carry Permit beyond the fact that it speeds up NICS significantly ... like almost instant (which, sadly, the 'instant' in NICS doens't exactly 'work' any more unless you do, like public servants are trying to keep screwed up)? I'm concerned about everything from ensuring the USCCA will back me to reprocity throught Georgia and Florida.

Am I allowed to carry in Florida (no Constitutional Carry state)? Or do I need to get a permit to have reprocity? I'm thinking the latter (no), since Florida doesn't have Constitutional Carry ... yet.

But what about Georgia (Constitional Carry state)? They have Constitutional Carry, but does that only apply for Georgia residents? Or do they allow other residents of states with Constitution Carry, especially if they have existing Reprocity, like with Alabama?


Any other comments? Suggestions?

I'm still thinking about getting a permit, especially since I live in Chilton County, the county offices are pretty empty and things don't take time. It's just waiting on the background check in the worst case. I've been meaning to go to get my Star ID any way, so I might do it at the same time.

Thank you in advance for all information! I'm probably going to hit the USCCA forums in addition.

OT - Whole home re-plumb

Looking for recommendations or any stories about doing a whole home re-plumb. My house was built in 62’ and still has original cast iron pipes and we have to re-plumb all the drain lines. 3 full bathrooms. 2 of which are set in the back far from the main sewer lines. Have one estimate so far and it feels kind of insane so wanting to see if anyone knows anything from experience?

OT: Team Selects Engineering Firm to Add Roof to Stadium

Jags are trying to get a roof over all seating areas to provide badly needed shade.

We may be in trouble

Watching TCU lay the wood to Michigan reminds me they play Big Boy football in the XII. I know we feel good about our recruits but we don’t have the horses to hang with the Frogs and other upper echelon teams. Going to take a few years to get the talent level to be able to win at
the next level. Of course, all Dungeonites are known for patience right?
