turns out @SouthStateBank is on the bandwagon of "tell us why you want to send money"
*** it's none if your damn business!
for a few hundred bucks on a @Zelle transaction, they're about to lose many hundreds of thousands of my business, and probably everyone that sees this.

I’ve never seen a play as stupid as that in just about any sport in all my years
NC State Football there is no coming back from this
Vandy, great effort playing until the whistle!
’Twas the night before kickoff, and all through the land,
Not a stadium stirring, not even the band.
The helmets were polished, the jerseys laid out,
While fans dreamed of touchdowns and what-ifs throughout.
The flags had been hung from the front porch with care,
In hopes that a championship soon would be theirs.
The coolers stood ready, the smoker was set,
And everyone’s undefeated. At least for one night yet.
The students were restless, the old grads the same,
Already rehearsing each chant by its name.
From Gainesville to Athens, from Austin to State,
Tomorrow meant football. Tonight we could wait.
The tailgates sat quiet. The parking lots bare.
But you almost could smell what would soon fill the air.
The charcoal. The bourbon. The burgers. The pride.
Old friends wearing colors and standing side by side.
Soon GameDay would wake us. The fight songs would play.
The bands would come marching. It finally was Saturday.
There’d be upsets and blowouts and questionable calls,
And somebody screaming, “HE WAS IN!” at their walls.
There’d be third-and-long prayers and fourth-quarter dread,
And coaches whose play calls we’d question instead.
There’d be rankings destroyed before Labor Day night,
And one fan somewhere saying, “The refs got it right.”
For months we have waited. No Saturdays quite
Feel the same without football from noon until night.
But the waiting is over. The season is here.
With rivalries, touchdowns, traditions and beer.
So hang up your colors. Get everything right.
Set the coffee for morning and sleep well tonight.
For tomorrow the stadiums thunder once more…
Happy kickoff to all, and to all a good score.
