  1. yeah trailer-wise, I think the last 2 Superman reboots have been better. Doesn't mean this one sucks, but as far as teasers go, those were excellent.
  2. what are the opinions on Texas' k-12 education. I see places like Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, Prosper ISD have good rankings, but I'm not certain how to interpret those findings. good according to whom? also are they actually curtailing what kids can learn in school?
  3. interesting thread. just read through all of it, as I am facing a decision of whether to leave Chicago and head back to Texas. it's a better job, better pay, but I don't feel terribly great about the political/cultural situation, plus there is just way more to do, see, experience in Chicago and while Winter is not fun, it is actually more depressing to have a summer and then not be able to go out and enjoy it
  4. terrible weekend for Longhorn football all around
  5. I know who the next highest paid WR is going to be. *if he stays healthy
  6. Look this isn't masterpiece theater, but some of things being complained about are explained within the context of the show. 1. He didn't write the original plan to show it was brilliant, he wrote it to show that it was bad and wrote it to fail. Nobody recalls Joe's very many complaints about the op from the beginning? And why bother with Carrillo trying to turn her dad in the first place? Well, in that preferred version, they neutralize him and he is in witness pro. In the second plan that was successful, the CIA now gets to be his accomplice and run interference for him. I can guess which one was the more palatable outcome. It's Sheridan, doing his "nobody is entirely blameless in this ordeal" piece. 2. Why not just attack from distance? They kept hammering the point about needing to show their borders could be crossed as well. The point about doing this with just a missile was brought up and it was emphasized that how the message was sent, was as important as the message itself. 3. The most implausible part is the spontaneous girl on girl theatre that comes out of nowhere.... not drawing much complaints though. Remember that part of the deal with Cruz is that she is supposed to kill Carrillo if deemed necessary.... and all of a sudden she just wants to bang her.... very professional.
  7. I think the overall acknowledgement of that was well done. Inconvenient marriages with the devil and such. And making the mission about sending a message rather than achieving anything greatly significant was accounted for. Sheridan gave himself the role of the baddest dude in the whole thing, but hey can't hate. I enjoyed it. Byron might be my favorite character. What an effective bastard.
  8. Oregon is the most complete team in the playoffs, didn't lose a game, and then got a shit bracket. Incredible
  9. defensive chops to give Sark a problem.
  10. You don’t even have to go back to 1968. Trevor Lawrence. Tua Tagovailoa
  11. do people not understand the difference between schools, colleges and universities? pretty sure Harvard hands out degrees about God. as does Yale. nobody is going to think of them as not being secular universities
  12. Arch might get more plays, but anyone expecting a true QB change now hasn't been paying attention.
  13. why can't we ever do shit like that in the redone
  14. consider looking at the post that I quoted your response to. or take TOEFL.
  15. Top 3 in talent, maybe. I'll give you that. Win everything and Top 3 in accomplishment, yes.
  16. Top 3. wow. so you are saying Quinn is better than Major, Simms, Brown, Layne... at least a couple of others.
  17. bullshit. you literally responded to a post about that particular throw.
  18. so why are you bringing up another throw to argue that this particular play was not a bad throw by Quinn? is it unheard of in a game for a QB to make a great throw and a bad throw? again, to speak on this particular play and to repeat the question: are you really saying placing that ball in a catchable spot is a herculean task expected of a QB you keep telling people they don't know what they are looking at when they see that gif.
  19. I sent that same gif to someone who played DB at one of our rivals, a long time ago. His son will likely be a Top prospect in the coming years. his reply: "Gotta throw it upfield with air. If he puts in on the front pylon and it’s a TD"
