  1. There is nothing in your post I disagree. Please pay close to my wording. I said can LOOK like a brilliant coach. There is a reason I called him an idiot savant. The inability to tie ones own shoes, yet inexplicably occasionally solve a quadratic equation does not make one a great coach. Mensa out front should've told ya.
  2. So Nussmeier, who I firmly think is a vastly overrated jag, has 2-3 games where he looks fantastic in a season. Then, Napier can get on a run where he looks like a brilliant coach for 4-6 games. This is a battle of idiot savants. I really have no clue what will happen, but likely a close Florida win causes the most pain for both schools fans... so I'll guess that happens.
  3. Right! Aggie is currently undefeated in the SEC.
  4. Texas - 48 UTEP - 13 305 yards passing for WRs. Add 80 more between TEs and RBs.
  5. Thats about 100 less passing than UT Martin and the same as Utah State. It's 10 more points than UT Martin scored and 1 point less than Utah State Aggies. This comes to pass, fire everyone and close down the football program, it's broken.
  6. Lol, Wilmot, owned by the same company as Vail (not kidding) has 11 plus 2 "tube run" lifts for its "230" vertical feet. Pretty sure it was build on a landfill. When I went there it was 1 and a bar with some burgers. https://www.wilmotmountain.com/-/aemasset/sitecore/wilmot/maps/20240916_WM_winter-trail_map_001.pdf It's the aggie version of Vail.
  7. Well, that sounds a bit over my level but I've crushed the 225 vert at Swiss Valley in Michigan:
  8. You're attempting to apply logic, critical thinking and strategic mindset to a bunch of NFL jersey folks. You should stop.
  9. You missed probably the most important one: 3) It keeps the cult from from issuing a fatwa, thus reducing incoming traffic via email, text, phone calls, boycott threats and sternly worded snail mail letters.
  10. I dunno what, if any, influence bitching about Strong or Herman had, but the ultimate outcome was getting rid of them both. I'm okay with that reality.
  11. Well, maybe some days are busier than others for an up and coming future Pulitzer prize winner. Life is a round circle my man. In some aspects the SEC is a gauntlet, is some it is not. We don't live in a binary world. I am not Graham, just respect the effort.
  12. Lived 10 years in Chicago, the mountain passes heading south east past Gary were know to be treacherous in winter. Indiana isn't know as the Mountain State for no reason.
  13. Oh.. so 2023 is too long ago with Xavier and Whittington? And filling those losses with some transfers last year Golden, Bolden and Bond last year while some talent was developed for this year is the issue. After game 2 when we have the top TD receiver in the nation. I see now. Dude, there is shit to worry about but WRs isnt fucking one of them.
  14. So, are you completely discounting Golden and Bolden, from way way back in 2024? Two games in and you're declaring a problem with the WRs when there's clearly been some passing issues and we played OSU's D in one of those games? Seriously, share your drugs, it's unkind to horde.
  15. The effect spaghetti westerns had on the western genre in general is far to substantial not to include them in the over arching genre historically. They didn't take entirely separate archs and it's the very reason I referenced The Outlaw Josey Wales. It's a direct outcropping with influence from "US westerns" and hell, has the same star.
  16. Well, I think No Country for Old Men did what that movie did 40 years ago. I'd also argue that The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was more in line with my original point of altering the black and white narrative of who is good and who is evil to a much greater degree. Particularly, in retrospect over the decades. The US civil war aspects, various races, and lack of clear hero changed the Western movie landscape tremendously. Was Tuco, one of the best "villains" of all time, BTW, really evil? Does The Outlaw Josey Wales exist without The Good, The Bad and The Ugly? Does Unforgiven? I'm not diminishing Lonely are the Brave, but I'd wager pretty heavily tons more people know and lovd the Good, the Bad and the Ugly than Lonely are the Brave.
  17. Enter the Dragon, for sure.
  18. Whoa!!! Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Calm down fussy britches. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. With great power comes great responsibility. Some mother fuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
  19. I watched this for the first time, the first time I ever took LSD in high school. Take a moment and just let that sink in.
  20. Florida State would like a word with you. So would Bama, Josh and Lane.
  21. For me the entire issue starts with a singular aspect, pre-season polls. All polls done thereafter are influenced by it win or loss. #1 close loss on the road to #2 top 10. #8 road loss to unranked, move #8 down to top 20 and unranked into top 20, push out a lower ranked top 25 to make was for FSU. Both the preseason and polls post wins/losses also have massive bias based on brand recognition. The only cure, which wouldn’t remove brand bias, is not releasing any polls until the 6 week of the season. Play shitty teams up front, polls reflected, loose to shitty teams, polls reflected, beat good teams, polls reflected. I don't think it will ever happen but.. it would fix a lot of the issues.
  22. I largely agree with the bulk of your post with the exception of the underlined. Not that I disagree in broad strokes with what you're saying. Rather, I have quickly growing concern that we are seeing some of the same sorts of issues with Arch that we saw with Quinn. I should probably clarify, what I mean is not the same errors. For example, Ewers was good underneath passing and struggled with long ball, whereas the opposite seems to be largely true with Arch. While the broad symptoms are different, the lack of comfort with specific called plays is not, specifically with slow development pass plays. On the flip side, when both players are/were allowed to play in loose, more wide open sort of calls or are forced to improvise they both seem/seemed to flourish wildly and successfully.
  23. We don't know at what point he corrupted the contact. The corrupted contact also clearly had in depth knowledge about the ship, so he could have modified the cyropod himself potentially. There could be thousands of these ships and they were hacking data remotely to determine which had content for pirating. The contact could have been woken up in route in order to accomplish some task. Not everyone was sleeping the entire duration of the 65 years. They could also hack the cyropod remotely to wake the guy up. Also, there are no real Squid Billies, Xenomorphs, or TiLeeWorms in real life. It's an honest point of contention regarding continuity but there are a lot of logical work arounds that the writers chose to forgo. If you choose to refuse suspension of disbelief based on a singular easily debatable continuity item that writers saved us from having to sleep through, and instead shit on a great episode of TV, that's certainly a choice.
  24. Go ahead and provide a single screen shot, just one, where he made that face last year after hitting a WR on a cross in the feet. Hell, I'll do you one better, show me a screenshot when he hit a WR in the feet on a cross, OR made that face after a throw. I'll hang up and listen.
