I've often thought about the walkable city life, after the kids finish high school and move out.  It seems like a fun and vibrant lifestyle.

But that's when I remember how much I hate people, and being stacked right on top of so many of them, likely wouldn't work out well for me.

So my actual downsizing/retirement plan is to build my dreamhouse on a boatload of acreage in the middle of nowhere and perhaps never again interact with another human outside of my immediate family. :)

In our last changeover when LSU tried to get Fisher, someone looked into it and found, iirc, that no coach had ever left a destination (helmet) job for another job without being fired, unless there were some special ties (alum, etc.)  A&M became the first to pull that off.  Gigem says FSU didn't support him, so I thought maybe that would stay an anomaly.

Maybe not so much.  Leaving OU for SC never occurred to me.  Though now that it happened I can think of several good reasons for it. 
Ashamed to admit but A&M did it when we brought Dennis Franchione to A&M from Alabama after he won 10/11 games in 2002. Boy what a mistake that was.

Are you in AL or somewhere else? I can't recall...

If in AL, nearly anywhere in AL, then yeah housing would probably be more than double for an equivalent place. Even in ritzy areas of Texas where 94 lives, I look at houses and a 3000 sf house is going for maybe ~$500K, whereas a 1500 sf house where I live is likely to cost $1M. So housing is a HUGE difference. I assume it would be an even wider gap in AL.

Gas was always low when I lived in GA, partly due to proximity to the refineries in the Gulf states and also due to lower state excise taxes on gasoline. CA has high gas taxes, and sometimes the unique blends/additives we have raise the cost. And then you add the cost of real estate for the actual gas station that they need to cover... Gas is definitely higher here, but not often double what it was in GA IIRC.

All that said, I'm pretty sure that cost of living or even taxes isn't really something that worries Lincoln Riley. You can live slightly above middle class in LA on $10M a year :57:
yeah that's all about right.

Amen, brutha!

I also like good restaurants and bars, good live music, good breweries, etc.  

I just don't like the things I have to do to get to it-- namely, interacting with people.

It has been 75 years since a coach voluntarily left OU for another job.

Would Fickell leave Cincinnati before the playoff *IF* they get a CFP bid?
