@JBoudouris I also have had a bad experience with Stubhub. They offered me a discount voucher- as if I would EVER do business with them again. Challenged it through my credit card and got my money back.

@baxstboys I follow and pull for UGA in all sports. My husband went to Duke. We pull for Duke in football and basketball. You can do two things at once as long as we don’t play each other. Pretty sure that is what Todd Gurley would say.

@3YearLetterman The ability to get a defensive rebound will be considered a positive.

AVERAGE TOM BRADY COMMENTARY: As a QB, you’re looking to see if your receiver has that extra step on the corner and can cut back outside. You’re dealing with fine margins, Kevin.

AVERAGE TONY ROMO COMMENTARY: You ever think about eating a football, Jim? I have.

@jontweetssports Wish we could have kept RJ Godfrey. But he gets more PT at Clemson, so he made the right decision.

Just my 2 cents:

College Sports isn’t where this epidemic started.
Did you sign your 6 year-old up for travel sports?
4 different teams in the last year or 2?
Did you quit Little League & your School’s rec team to travel to Texas & Florida at age 9.
Is every weekend at the Travelodge with your kids numbered sweatshirt on at 8am, blaring some premade, walk up song montage.
Did you move your kid to a new school that you don’t even live in multiple times in their high school career?chasing the, it’s so much better there mindset, because the friends parents talked you into it and your excuses was, just wanna be part of winners.
Did you have a meeting to get the volunteer parent coach fired or the school’s admin coach fired because he/she didn’t play your kid?
Did you pay a personal trainer thousands of dollars all to watch your kid get burned out and tell you this sucks I just wanna play video games?
Do you run your kids, social media, YouTube and NIL-potential so that you can market the next big star.

Folks, we’re all guilty of wanting something better but stop acting and blaming college sports. That ain’t the problem here. This happens way before they get to college.

How much money does it take to buy you or your family?

Did you fall for the ole…
Better Join the, “
Select”, “Elite”, “Top”, “Premier” Team sales pitch? Only to figure out you just ended up funding the scholarships for the A-Team .

ADULTS, kids learn from Adults, they are taught & influenced by Adults.

The Great “Coach Baird” always called us Kids, because that’s what we were, immature, impressionable Kids.

Loyalty, commitment, integrity, and honesty is taught at the foundation, start there and we fix the issue.

I Bleed 💜💛 forever, & I”ll leave you with the legendary “Coach Hart” quote…
“Move The Drill, 5 yards Up”

GO DAWGS! ☔️

Hey!
Calling all Wonder Women!
We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.
I truly believe the reason we liked her was because we recognized her within ourselves. The multifaceted parts of her personality, her strength, her beauty, her warmth, her tenacity, and her honesty is who you are!

We recognize those qualities in her because those are the qualities that women possess. We understand one another because we alone are the Mothers of all Mankind. We are magnificent…at every age…at every challenge, and we do whatever it takes.

I love you all and as I reflect on the stories I have heard you share with me, the art you have drawn for me, and the kindness you have given me for 50 years…..
I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE SHOWN ME. THANK YOU GAL GADOT, and DIRECTOR PATTY JENKINS, FOR KEEPING HER LEGEND ALIVE AND STRONG!

Tons of love to all of you,
Lynda

This Wednesday, the SC House will once again vote on school vouchers.

To level set, the House passed vouchers two years ago. I voted no because it’s plainly unconstitutional to give public money to private or religious schools’ tuition (Read Article XI of the state constitution). Fortunately, the state Supreme Court agreed & struck down the tuition portion but allowed any other private or public expenses.

Unfortunately, the state appropriated $30 million last year to the vouchers for this school year out of public education funding.

What that practically means is my school district, School District of Pickens County, lost $611,000.00 this year. (I have the lost revenue for each school district. If interested in yours, comment and I’ll reply.)

What could have been another $600 raise for every one of our 1,000 teachers in Pickens County or what could have been another 10 teachers to reduce class size or 10 mental health counselors was instead sent to the voucher fund.

In full transparency, 28 Pickens County students received $53,000 in voucher money this year. Well what was it spent on? Tutoring or services or transfer fees? No, nearly $30,000 was spent on computers.

In effect, we traded $611,000 for 15 computers. No reasonable person would say that is a good trade, or that “choice” occurred, or that education improved.

Did you know that out of the $30 million, $4.5 million has been spent: $1.5 million paid a Florida-based company called Class Wallet to distribute the money and $1.5 million was spent on computers.

Worse, currently, the budget proposal includes $45 million for next year. SDPC will lose another $885,000.

Even worse, there’s no accountability. How much was spent on the computers? Were they returned for gift cards or money back? We will never know.

Here is where I am: Of course, the constitution is still important to me. If we want to amend the constitution to allow public money to private & religious schools, then put it to a public vote. The state constitution has been amended at least 100 times since 1974, including twice in 2022.

But just as important to me now is the practicality of the issue. What’s the objective? I’m told the objective is to give choice, improve public schools, & allow money to follow the child.

Practically, there won’t be one new school created with this voucher system. It’s impossible to build a facility, maintain a facility, & pay teachers for $6,000 per pupil. The math doesn’t add up. Try it yourself with whatever building you want to build.

We have been experimenting with charter schools in SC for over two decades. Despite steady revenue, there is not one charter school in the I-95 corridor. Are we expecting private or religious schools to do so with less money?

So the whole “we’re creating a market” or “competition” or “choice” is just plain false.

Going to improve public schools? Umm, no. The first school voucher program passed in Wisconsin in 1989. 4th grade proficiency is worse in 2024 than in 1998 in Wisconsin. Florida and Arizona have been highlighted by choice advocates. It’s pretty well known now that Florida outputs have plummeted. Fourth grade reading scores this year fell to their lowest point since 2003. Florida ranks 43rd in grade 8 reading. Florida ranks 41st in grade 8 math.
Arizona has plummeted. Arizona’s proficiency is at its lowest point in two decades. In contrast, Massachusetts is consistently ranked #1 in the nation. Guess what, no vouchers.

Money follow the child? This is humorous if we understand the math. To pay $6,000 in taxes for vouchers intended to follow the child, a taxpayer would have to have taxed income over $250,000. Only 2% of taxpayers have that income. So, it’s literally taking money from others intended for mass education to give to an individual. That’s one of those bad -ism words …

Stop daydreaming about who you could be. Instead, carefully define the person you want to be and start living as that person right now. What stops us from taking action to change our lives is not a lack of desire to change but a failure to define what changes we want to make.
