I invested in a grow house in Oklahoma, you would approve of the product.

Sounds like the plot of Tulsa King.

60 years ago there were summer “camps” where high school students went to work in the tobacco fields.

40 years ago there were summer “camps” where jr. high school students went to work in the corn fields in Illinois.   14 hours daily detassling corn 7 days a week for about 3-4 weeks for $3.35 per hour, it was magical.

Remember child work camp in Virginia taking care of tobacco fields.

I am not familiar with working tobacco fields, but it sounds fun

I was there bro. You had dreams of going down corn rows. I did mine in central Illinois.

He runs an advise on major commercial operations for Wishfarms all over the world he specializes in berries. 

Did some work for the Wish farms family a few years ago. Gary is a great person. Sad to see Publix drop their berries here locally. Driscoll's is dominating.

$3.35 an hr is magical? Maaaan, to this day, I can't believe I gave up an hour of my life for $4.25 in my past. Especially after seeing how the standard of living went up by like 30 times while the minimum wage stayed the same since the early 80's.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
