  1. Hi George!

     

    I'm glad the dogs won, and that our less-than-first-string players got in some early work for next year!😉

     

    That being said, the real thing that most people who don't follow the SEC don't understand is that every SEC vs SEC game is a "bowl" game in the competition sense.  Despite their records, no SEC team can be counted out.  Therefore, those games are great practice for playing other conferences, not to mention the fact that SEC recruiting is top notch, often resulting in 5-star recruits entering the transfer portal, because they can't get close to making the first string in the SEC. such as Justin Fields leaving Georgia for Ohio, where he started immediately.

     

    I am 78 years old, and over my life, I have seen various conferences rule for a while.  Born an Iowa fan (I was born in the University hospital on campus), I was happy to watch the Big 10 rule.  Other years, I watched as the Pacific teams ran things, then the Big 12, and even the ACC got in with Clemson there for a minute.  Cheer up!  After Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC, TCU may very well become the top Frog in Texas, although I would still be rooting for Texas Tech, as it was my step-father's hometown, and I spent many of my formative years there.

     

    I wish you and the Frogs well, just not any time soon!

     

    Your friendly rival,

  2. Jamie, just tried to find some of the Vietnam Colourcoats enamels in the US and it seems like your one stockist in New England is way down, and the other place doesn't exist any more. An advise on how to get these paints in the US currently?

  3. Yes Cookie,

     

    These IS an "Itsy-Bitsy III" see my recent 1/72 F-84B conversion of the Heller kit in both WIP and RFI.  At the time, Laven had made it to Lt. Col.
