OT: Golf club set help

Son is 21, starting to try to play (never did before between baseball and elbow surgery)

I haven’t played in long time or kept up with latest clubs, used to be pretty good low handicap but I have custom made Cleveland gun metal blades for irons and low degree Titlist woods.

He’s using my set and they are not very forgiving for him with the small sweet spots.

I don’t want to spend a lot on a set while he’s learning (after he gets more comfortable he can upgrade then).

what is a good mid size forgiving set of irons and/or woods over the last 10 years I could buy relatively cheap? Then next set, after he gets better he can pour some money into them.

Ping probably too expensive, Not sure how Calloway has been recently, would I go wrong with any Titlist set or Taylor Made set?

is there a model number to look for that dates the clubs more recent in the last 5 - 8 years?
TIA

FB Recruiting Cameron Ball Update

Login to view embedded media
Arkansas has continued to recruit Ball hard for one of maybe two defensive tackle spots in this 2021 class. I caught up with him last month after steam for Georgia Tech really started picking up but the staff has been good so far in getting him to hold off. He told me things are going really well with the relationship building and "if he can" the plan is to wait on a decision until he can visit Arkansas.

They've done a virtual visit with him, which he enjoyed, and he's been growing his relationship with Coach LeBlanc. He says their relationship is great and Coach LeBlanc is "his guy," which we haven't heard from any defensive line recruits so far this cycle.

He's not a big talker but I'll do my best to keep yall posted if something changes.

Future of College Football/Athletics If 2020-2021 CFB Is Cancelled

Was thinking about all the cuts that schools have made to athletic programs, coaches taking furloughs/paycuts, etc. and all of those were made with the assumption that 2020 CFB season would 110% happen. Now we are looking at the possibility of no football season/fall sports.

Curious to people's thoughts about weathering a storm of ZERO college football, from a financial standpoint, and how it will impact universities.

We will obviously see more programs cut from school's athletic teams, but do we reach a point where a college football program(s) (maybe some that have been in the red on normal years) get shut down? Will we see a bunch of UAB's? Will there be schools with just mens hoops and football left at the end of this?

Obviously there are a million ways this works out, but even if we do have a season, schools are going to lose out on tons of money due to attendance restrictions alone.

Thots?

Football Favorite non-Arkansas football game you ever saw

This tweet popped up on my timeline...
Login to view embedded media ...and got me thinking: What is your favorite college football game you ever saw (in person or on TV), excluding Arkansas games?

I feel like this Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl might be No. 1 for me. It was just so crazy. 12-year-old me didn’t think Boise had a chance. My mind was blown watching it all unfold the way it did.

A couple of other games that come to mind are the famous USC-Texas game in - I believe - the 2006 Rose Bowl and the “Kick Six” Auburn-Alabama game. The Alabama-Georgia national championship game a couple years ago was amazing, too.

For the life of me, I just don't understand the idea of cancelling

FB season due to Covid-19. This vast majority of people sit outdoors and are exposed to UV light which kills the virus in 2-3 mins, even under cloudy conditions because the UV light penetrates through the clouds. Indoor seating can be made safer by installing UV lights and making the room(s) negative pressure when possible. Also everyone indoors must wear a mask as an added safety precaution. As far as the players go they will all eventually get it and the vast majority will never know it or become symptomatic...the players with pre-existing conditions like diabetes or heart conditions are at higher risk and I do not know how those concerns are to be addressed other than having them sign a waiver if they wish to still participate knowing the increased risk.

Just some thoughts....

1. Recruiting- The only way to recruit well coming off back-to-back 2 win seasons is to hire a BIG TIME coach. We didn’t.

2. Success - I think we will be much better than most think. I like Pitt Boss and I LOVE his coaching hires. THE one thing Morris(spit) did right is recruit. So I believe the Pitt Boss has talent to go with the great coaches he has hired.

3. Next Year’s recruiting - Look out! With Pittman’s ability to relate to HS kids, and showing signs of success... I am excited for 2021-2022!

All this depends on COVID-19’s impact. It will REALLY hurt us if we don’t play in 2020.
