  1. Minnesota lost to UNC, Iowa, Michigan, Rutgers and PSU the last of which was the only team they lost to that was ranked end of season. Illinois was the only ranked team they beat last year. They ended at 8-5 with a bowl game win over a 6 win VT. So I could agree they were not bad, but probably not good either. Above average unless we are going to start making the case that 8-5 is good. I'd say the same for Vanderbilt, who I think can probably get to 7 wins again this year. The entire reason they came up was a poster was defending Penn States ranking. I pointed out the struggles PSU had with Bowlimg Green, Minnesota and USC last year. The same poster then used the single Vanderbilt game to compare to Penn State's 3 struggles against mediocre to bad teams. @SL Xpress Compared Franklin to Mack Brown. I think it a very apt comparison. I do disagree with his take on Kotelnicki as I don’t think Kotelnicki is the problem. Rather, given Franklin's propensity to be "Sacred to death" he pulls the offense play calls back from Kotelnicki and goes full Turtle Tom. Joel Klatt had a pretty good coverage of it last year on one of his videos.
  2. I recall shitty police work with an extremely difficult crime scene, which tracks with all of what you wrote. Sadly too typical in investigations, I recall them getting on a specific, incorrect trail and refusing to move away from it.
  3. I'm just gonna drop this here because he's correct. War of the World's is horrific on so many levels.
  4. I am the on with the blinders? Dude, struggling with a hurt QB against Vanderbilt on the road is NOT equal to struggling to Bowling Green at home, a Reilly coached USC AND Minnesota. I'd buy a equal for 8-5 Minnesota to 7-6 Vanderbilt that leaves PSU holding 2 bags one of which is Bowling Green and a super shitty USC. Since you seem math and logic challenged struggling in 3 games against mediocre to shitty opponents is MORE than struggling in one game against a mediocre opponent. Math is so hard. But hey, you do you and think whatever you want about Pedo States potential this year.
  5. God damn right. Don't express or discuss any opinions about the primary subject that isn't in full support of it. This thread is for arguments about the opinions of coaches on where teams are ranked and any other discussion is verboten. Glad to see someone knows how it works here on Surly.
  6. Did you miss the part where they went into OT with a shitty, over ranked Minnesota, struggled against a Reilly coached team and struggled against Bowling Green?
  7. I don't think he's Mensa or Chuckles but... he absolutely isn’t premium.
  8. For the record, I personally hate preseason polls and that they directly effect play off contention. Want to keep polls, release the first ones the first week in Oct. Sure, some of the teams that feast upon sisters of the blind early will get too much love but a lot more shit teams will also be exposed.
  9. We aren't ranked high enough or ranked too high. Doesn't matter where we are, but it's one of the two, always. Texas or OSU should be 1 or 2. Any poll that has it otherwise is just rage baiting or really stupid.
  10. Sadly not a suprise. Worse based on what I am being made aware of crossed with my admittedly limited knowledge of criminal oligarchs, females will end up in sex trade, males "former" soldiers potentially becoming a criminal issue for Ukrainian people.
  11. I know I'm in the extreme minority here, but she isn't getting disappeared. Maxwell is getting released and choosing to disappear.
  12. Worst than Georgia, aggie, pig and Bama?
  13. Texas fans, where QB controversy isn't just the norm, they never end. This thread truly amuses me, QB controversy over players who haven't been here in decades. Awesome sauce.
  14. This and the couple of post from @bolverk above are the sort of things that causes bigger issues than most will recognize. I'm curious about the view numbers on those, but if they are going even minor viral, it's a bigger issue than Russia will ever admit. Part of war propaganda is now absolutely in the hands of influencers, for better or worse. For better, in this case for the record.
  15. I really liked Ballard it just didn't resonate for me like Bosch. Likely in part due to a female lead rather than male, but I found some of the subplots/twists extremely predictable. I should note, I do love Maggie Q in the roll and the bulk of my issues weren't with her nor her performance.
  16. Russian firefighters extinguish Sochi oil depot blaze after Ukrainian drone attack, authorities say - Reuters Link Some take aways for me in this article. -Based on available reporting you have to fully commend Ukrainian war efforts on the lack of non-military casualties and even injuries -Russia is doing their best to stifle internal concern about the scale and success of these attacks by not publishing total drone numbers -I'm confident air traffic issues continues to build Oligarchs and public frustration -Military has to be embarrassed by these and thats terrible for morale and undermines authority. Not an acceptable reality with Russian military leadership.
  17. 1, x, 2 head tilt and evil grin out front should have told you. Because here on Surly we know the more likely she is to kill you the better in bed and a subjective opinion can be and often is, factually incorrect.
  18. Doh, should have clarified. Wild Bill 2012 with Charlie Creed-Miles (new to me)
  19. Wild Bill is a very well acted, cast, written and directed. Has a very atypical arc and a moving, unique take on an otherwise pretty common excon plot. Really enjoyed it.
  20. Yeah, Nashville has a similar mix of tourist, aspiring influencers, tech bros/hoes and mixed state transplants. It's not Austin or god forbid Orlando but one managed to clip me for my first accident in 3 decades. Of course, his insurance was fake.
  21. Also, you are on the road with Austin drivers.
