  1. That Harris Dickinson dude has some range. Triangle of Sadness to Murder at the end of the World to this? It’s like 3 completely different people.
  2. Well it is Todd Haynes.
  3. Missing the point. Just put him on record. I want to hear how he answers the question.
  4. Any answer other than, "Of course I can't" should be 10x more alarming than the dictator on the first day shit of this week which has gotten some traction. I get virtually his whole base would be thrilled with him bucking the consititution, but my *hope* is that something like that could get a chunk of apathetics/conscienctious objectors to voting to wake up. And frankly, I'm interested in his answer.
  5. I asked this in another thread, but has anyone point blank asked Trump if he understands he cannot run again in 2028 he wins in 2024? If not someone needs to This is to both get at his actual understanding and his intent.
  6. This is so true. Very smart people still believe he won’t necessarily win the nomination.
  7. Penn State fans seem to love him, and that D was pretty good this year. Thing with Diaz is that (1) historically, he gets figured out and can't adjust, and (2) his schemes are so fucking complicated no one can play instinctually. I think he's evolved some, and so long as he hires a DC and doesn't play both roles, it's not a bad hire, and Duke wasn't going to make a massive splash hire. As a Duke fan, I'm not unhappy, and I also don't have to worry my coach is going to have a coronary.
  8. I think (hope) there is a group of conservatives that sat 2020 out that maybe starting to see, a little late, the real danger Trump can be. My Dad is one of them. He is a life long Kemp/Bush republican that has never voted democrat. He claims, and I trust him, that he voted for Trump in 2016 because "team" and trust in checks and balances, and left the president slot blank in 2020. I had this dialogue last night: Me: "You know, no one has asked Trump if he understands that if he wins, he can't run for reelection in 2028. Do you think he understands/cares?" [BY THE WAY - SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THIS.] Him: "Nope. I think he plans to continue to be president." Me: "So you'll vote for Biden given that's fucking crazy?" Him: "I am hopeful he won't be the nominee." Me: "C'mon." Him: "If he is the nominee, I'll vote for Biden." Me: "Then you are voting for Biden?: Him: "If Trump is the GOP nominee, yes." If there are about 50K-75K people like this across the right geographies, I am hopeful.
  9. Honestly I agree with the posters that think he’d been overserved. Explains why he had this look on his face like he could talk the crowd down and butchering Sark’s name. Irrational confidence.
  10. Isn’t she a Liberty grad? Probably was awkward yesterday given the rationale for Liberty over SMU.
  11. I guess I don't care? Look, the games are going to be better, so that's cool. But had Georgia won, they would have taken FSU at 4 in a heartbeat. That doesn't matter now, but I absolutely believe that would have happened. We, as UT fans, would be upset, but it would consistent with precedent and just way to clean for the committee to go against 4 undefeated playoff teams. Georgia lost, which meant we were in, and the SEC was placated with Bama because god forbid we have a playoff without the SEC. It's as simple as that.
  12. I feel for FSU. The committee couldn’t handle not having an SEC team in so they went against every precedent and made shit up. TCU getting in over Bama last year was precedent enough and FSU had a better case this year. Whatever. It don’t make a shit for UT. But fuck the committee for thinking the SEC is destined a it in the playoff.
  13. Driving. Booked rooms. Bringing kids. Oof. Pasadena would have been better for that, but at least no airfare. Now just need to see if I get an allotment or not. Anyone have a sense of what Loyalty Point rang the allotment will run out?
  14. Honestly, outside of the TCU screw job in the first year, the committee has been pretty consistent.
  15. That. Was. Awesome.
  16. I think he, Platt and Carmy’s dad were business partners and all of them are “family” in the worst way. Odenkirk’s character is mentioned at least once in passing in prior episodes. And he definitely had a relationship with Donna. When is unclear. They still haven’t gotten into what happened to the dad.
  17. I wonder who is feeding her this line of questioning to somehow try to pants the SSA. She has no idea what the issues being discussed really mean much less being able to come up with those questions on her own.
  18. I think it was planned. They played a bunch of songs from their time without him during that part of the set.
  19. About 30 years more than anyone would have thought. I finally saw him in 2010, I believe, at Stubbs with The Pogues. Was a lot of fun and glad I got the chance.
  20. Just saw a preview for Obliterated. Special ops team takes out a nuke in Vegas. Celebrates Hangover style only to find out the real Nike is still out there. Hangover crossed with The Peacemaker and seems like a live action Team America. In.
  21. Can I at least dream of a 12-10 or 9-7 Iowa win on a last second field goal?
  22. Edit.... dammit, Huck beat me to it. I said it upthread, but they have never taken a 1 loss non-conference champ over a 1 loss conference champ. Of course, they could start this finalyear, but I doubt it. All of the below presumes we win, and I am so glad we play at 11:00 so we get our game out of the way..... If we presume the above, then if FSU loses, we are in. Period. Unfortunately, I think Georgia/Bama winner is in no matter what, and Oregon will get chosen over us if they win. While I don't agree, I've made peace that because Oregon has been ahead of us since we lost + "Ess Eee Cee can't be left out!." I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.
  23. Brooks’ 5th foul was bullshit too. Look, they didn’t want the Rockets in Vegas. Same for the Kings, but they overcame the rigging. We need to make some peripheral moves. Would like to see team make play in. Having that Oladipo contract ought to be helpful and willing to add Tate into something as well.
