  1. Being ranked as a top 20 prospect by recruiting services and being an excellent hs football player aren’t always the same thing. Saban/bama saw his potential and thought they could get him there. They didn’t
  2. Except seeing a column for “2030 Seniors” gave me a full on existential crisis, but I guess that’s my problem.
  3. I may have missed a scene, but why did Jeff have an eye patch at the end?
  4. Yeah, unless we play a triple option team next season he shouldn’t see the field at 261. Goosby at 313 seems like a positive development. Pretty sure he was well under 3 bills in HS, and weight and strength were his main question marks.
  5. Absolutely devastating stuff from Dylan Holt. I hope we can find a portal qb next season, there is no coming back from this.
  6. Yeah, even taking out bias for UT players, without even considering Vince there are probably 5 guys that are easily over him and more that have good arguments. I’m not positive he’s even the best Sooner qb, I think I would put Bradford over him. Putting UT player bias back in, Colt is closer to Mayfield than Baker is to VY.
  7. Maybe “important” is overused when it comes to some art, but using the Beatles as your example for this doesn’t really help your point. They actually did change society on a macro level. There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated solely to their cultural impact. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_the_Beatles I think you are underestimating how linked popular culture is to capitalism, politics, and pretty everything else that you think of as “important”.
  8. The moody “Twist and Shout” needle drop was one of the more embarrassing tv moments I can remember
  9. Maybe I’m missing the Deadpool level of irony here, but are you really holding up the star of Red Notice, Free Guy, and the Hitman’s Bodyguard as a pillar of artistic integrity? This looks good, especially compared to the recent run of superhero movies, but Reynolds is the king of empty money grabs.
  10. Walk Hard basically buried this type of biopic forever.
  11. In case we want to put a little distance from whatever the fuck is happening here: The Deboer era is off to a rocky start
  12. I’m curious about what Milwee’s career path looks like from here. If Sark continues to have success you’d think he’d eventually be a commodity as a protege, but I’ve never heard his name come up for any jobs. He has a pretty great gig as is, Co-OC title and QB coach and he’s not exactly as young as I thought he was (38). His role doesn’t really give him the chance to prove himself as a P5 play caller or group of 5 head coach though. If he has aspirations for that, maybe eventually he has to take a step down and take a group of five OC gig to get some experience outside of being Sark’s right hand man.
  13. Futureman is worthless because everything he posts is a bit that seems to be for the entertainment of only himself. Helobious seems sincere in his posts, just with an incredible rate of being wrong almost 100% of the time. So I think there is some value in reading those posts to check yourself if your takes ever align. Case in point.
  14. The five, err, six posters you meet in heaven. Mediocre joke brought to you by a drive by quipper
  15. Funny, I tend to agree about Gangs of New York but see KOTFM completely differently. Generally thought the cast and performances were great (aside from whatever Brendon Fraser was doing) and the pacing wasn’t a problem. I felt the 3.5 hrs, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. More so, I really push back that it was a poorly directed movie when there are a few sequences that were so well done and memorable that only a handful of people could have pulled them off. Specifically the ending, which was incredible. I don’t know if anyone else alive could have made it work.
  16. White hot take here. What makes you say it was poorly directed?
  17. This is no joke. During the pandemic, my wife and I were going through my (still living) father-in-law’s vhs collection because she wanted to digitize old family movies. I learned way more about his porn preferences that day than I expected.
  18. This may have been discussed, but just saw this in an article on the Athletic I didn’t realize players transferring from an SEC school in the spring window aren’t eligible immediately if they move in-conference. Makes it even tougher for Alabama to offset these losses, they can’t really look at SEC players once the portal reopens for them
  19. And one of the outgoing transfers taking a terrible angle and whiffing on the tackle
  20. Damn, as a week to week starter it has been a while for CBs. Kris Boyd has stuck around but I don’t think he’s started much. Jamison played for the Panthers this year but mainly special teams I think. For guys they actually played CB in the NFL at a high level, you may have to go all the way back to the Ced Griffin/Aaron Ross class? Holy shit
