So if there is no football, what is the impact to you?

That's an incredible t-shirt quilt. That seems to be what I quilt for customers primarily. I'm also working on finishing up a t-shirt quilt for the mother of a Marine. The backing is the absolute coolest USMC fabric I've ever come across. I believe the son will receive this for his Christmas present this year.

I'm just starting a quilt for another customer who is going to give it to his daughter. t-shirts from hs and college. She trained for the Olympics (weightlifting) and won like 3 golds in the N. American games and also the Pan Am games. She's now a PE teacher (go figure) and an incredibly nice lady.

You fought for the flag? I thought the point was to fight for your country and the people in it.

Yeah, I served my country, both as a soldier and a civil servant. I never defended the flag but would have given my life for my country and my fellow Americans.

What was the thing I did as a kid? Latch hook, or something like that? Take the color coded mat and color yarn?

Anyone remember that?

Oh yes. Somewhere my mom has a box(es) of things from when I was a kid. In that box is a half finished latch hook puppy.

Golf is not a dying sport if you live where you can play all year around. The NBA is a fricking joke that isn’t worth watching and why would you watch highly paid primadonas that won’t stand for the National anthem and the flag I fought for?

Golf wholesale sales have gone from $3B in 2007 to $2.3B in 2019. That is not an inflation adjusted number so in reality golf sales are less than HALF what they were a little more than 10 years ago. It is not a healthy sport - even if you like playing and sun soaked areas are busy. Golf courses that did well in Nebraska a few years ago have closed or are struggling badly.
You make not like the NBA - but ticket sales, ratings and international interest continue to move up........I am guessing you are not their target market. Neither am I truth be told.

When the stinking NBA stole the team from Seattle pro basketball was over for me.

Golf is struggling but I still would rather play it or watch it than invest time in the NBA or baseball.

I'll be reading serious football threads where the OP asked not to get off subject devolve into a discussion about quilt making techniques.
Now, I dont want to impose but I've got an essay about Hawaiian nose humming I'd like to discuss. I mean, it's going to be a looonnngggg off season.

Whew, wish you had picked latch hook techniques as opposed to quilting techniques. Oh wait, this thread was about what we are going to do without football so we stayed on topic (for once)!

I recently got into some wood working projects and it might be time to trying something a little more challenging. I've also been eyeing an old train set we have in our basement and maybe my next project could be a train table. Loved those when i was a kid.

Yeah, you don't want me anywhere near an activity that involves finger dexterity. When I was a kid I took guitar lessons. After a lot of effort the instructor got up and cold cocked me.

I would really be interested to see if there are studies being done or financial impact statements being done to see the financial impact in the cities and towns where college football is played.
I can't imagine how much this impacts business, taxes, jobs, etc.

The flag represents our country and the people of the USA.

That would include NBA players, Kaepernick, and many others who you have disparaged so eloquently in another thread as “Black America”. The bill of rights applies to all of us.

Charlie and I wanted our damn tea the other day and no they are closed. GI needs like 2 more Starbucks or at least one more and the current store to be way better run.

Back to Starbucks ... it was finally in The Independent this morning that Starbucks has been closed. Didn't give a reason, but my sources confirm COVID-19. They "hope" to reopen by Thursday.
