  1. No because we already took from Arkansas what they wanted most and they're harmless to us. Tech being taken down a peg again would be enjoyable. Not that it will change their strange bravado as a program that's never won anything in football. At all.
  2. It's like when my wife gets angry at me when I make fun of her relatives but it's fine for her to make fun of her relatives.
  3. Laura Loomer is the agent of chaos we need. She does not care who she destroys along the way.
  4. Sweet Christ. Why do I feel we're going to see a post like this from Icono telling us that there are good and bad Persians and he's obviously one of the "good Persians".
  5. I had to miss the match due to Christmas lunch and gift exchange with my in-laws. Nice to see things kept rolling and Mo was Mo. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd be sitting 7 points clear after Boxing Day. Slot is a dream hire.
  6. People will bitch about just about anything. Guy Gardner's haircut. Krypto being in the movie. Mr. Terrific's costume. I don't know why people can't just trust James Gunn to do a good job given his previous record of resetting what a superhero movie can be. I think the intro to the trailer being Superman crashing into the ice is to show this is a more grounded Superman who isn't invulnerable or god-like. You can't just have a lazy story where it's either something kryptonite based that levels the playing field or a ridiculous weapon like Doomsday to hurt Superman. I am really only a Superman fan because of Christopher Reeve and I will be at the Thursday showing for this one. It looks like the perfect movie to start Gunn's new universe.
  7. Do I get to kill Michael as a bonus?
  8. Fulham just gifted us a nice Boxing Day gift by coming back from 0-1 to defeat Chelsea 2-1.
  9. Party of Fiscal Responsibility wants 86 billion from Congress to deport people but assures us it will save us money in the long run, especially after things get even more expensive when the labor gap happens. https://nypost.com/2024/12/24/us-news/incoming-border-czar-tom-homan-says-trump-admin-will-need-86-billion-to-start-mass-deportations/
  10. You know why this show is great? Not everyone is just instantly great at everything they do. The kids are allowed to not be great at everything instantly like in Goonies or ET. Wim summoning up the courage to grab the lightsaber to try to save Fern but igniting it upside down was great. Also enjoyed the Goonies-type trap door on the food table. Reminded me of the organ scene. Jod also recites the line Qui-Gon says to Anakin when he's advising him before the pod race. Let your focus determine your reality. So yes, he's probably a former padawan who hid after Order 66.
  11. Holy shit, Harrison Ford killed that speech about what he was thankful for.
  12. All these commentators are going to defend their constituencies. Klatt shills for the Big 10 and Colorado. If he were at ESPN, he'd flip to the SEC!SEC!SEC! He's a lot more fair than most but he also has his bias. I don't hate Herbstreet like most on here but the shitting on Indiana just makes no sense after having Gameday go there and go full throated on Cignetti and what he had built. There are bound to be shitty opening games. That happens in the NFL too during Wildcard Weekend. There was no SEC team that got screwed over. They all had issues, none of them were that worthy. It's not as if they lost to other really good SEC teams. They each lost to a shit one, except South Carolina and they got pantsed OU style by Alabama. Once Tennessee went down in flames, that ended all SEC teams should've been in arguments. Maybe all the conferences just aren't that great this year because NIL has completely leveled the playing field and the teams that have been built over years are the ones rising up over the upstarts.
  13. This ain't Texas...but it's Texas. She went all out.
  14. It's all based on the bowl tie-in. Sugar still gets the SEC champ. If we had beaten Georgia, we would've open in New Orleans, not Arlington. The Rose is always going to opt for the Big 10 champ. Fiesta has been the at-large for a while. Same with the Peach. The only reason Arizona State isn't playing in Arlington is that's the next round. If we're going to keep doing bowl tie ins then either someone needs to forego their tie for the quarters and semis if they host the championship or do the rotator of a non-bowl site. There's zero chance they take the bowl games away. Joel Klatt's idea was to move Army/Navy to week zero and use their old weekend to start the playoff. You'd have more chance of students being on campus if the games started a week earlier.
  15. We'll take it under advisement, jerkweed.
  16. Made our traditional gingerbread pancakes for everyone. Bought so much mix that we'll have gingerbread waffles tomorrow. Honestly, I hate making pancakes because they always are weird for a few turns and then get good. Waffles are a lot more consistent. We also made peppermint bark. Debating making some eggnog from scratch.
  17. You know, I could get behind this being a Christmas movie. Bud definitely gives the gift of justice to all the bad boys and girls who deserve it.
  18. Now try counting how many different fingers are on each hand.
  19. I always love some Bing in blackface for Christmas. Really gets the family in the holiday spirit!
  20. I'd imagine there's a huge difference between doing that for American citizens and people without legal protections. But I'm not a lawyer so maybe one of them can chime in.
  21. He would need specific names and time periods. I don't think he could say "if you were here undocumented from ____ to ____, you are pardoned for illegally entering the country".
