STOP IT!!!!

I personally have noticed an increase lately in the idiotic, ridiculous, moronic and tautological "I personally" phrase to start statements on this site. It is reaching epidepic proportions.

Not as bad as "he's" "instead" of "his", "then" instead of "than" or "suppose" instead of "supposed", but it's getting up there.

I personally think that you personally will find that if you personally just say "I" instead of "I personally" it will be well understood that you personally mean yourself and noone else.

Another words, you don't like people being redundant redundant?

I, personally (as opposed to the "I" sitting across the room from me), would have to agree with you.  Although, this kind of stuff doesn't bother me that much here, more so in emails and memos at work.

Wait until it gets to epidermic proportions ... then we'll need some aloe vera.

I personally don't think that I ever ever use that phrase, nor do I remember seeing it all that much. That said, now that you've pointed it out it's going to start popping up everywhere. :-(

Why don't you go and swallow two, consecutively, one after the other.

Here's a lovely example from yesterday:

I love my Cobra equipment, but I did personally pick up a Tour Edge TSG

Obviously that's so you don't misunderstand and think he had his butler pick it up for him.

I personally, think Shorty is a grumpy old fart.

I personally, think this thread is a waste of everyone's time. Can I get my 30 seconds back?

There.

I just adjusted the space-time continuum so you have your 30 seconds back. Only problem is you now live in a parallel universe and work as a WalMart greeter and your face and butt have been swapped.

Tell us the whole story. There must be a downside.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
