  1. I saw Big George Foreman. It was a simple happy movie like the man. I actually thought that it had too much repetitive boxing. Much boxing history was left out. A total newbie watching BGF would learn nothing of a Don King or Mike Tyson. Also nothing of how Angelo Dundee worked with Foreman during his comeback, and quickly mentioned a grill. But it hit the other major points and was still fun to watch.
  2. Classic Dr Who. People used to pay $40 for a single VHS story of four 25 minute episodes.
  3. Well people generally don't xfer because they won the starting job. For our own Tyler Buchner it had to be a kick in the OSU that he came back from game 2 injury, started and won the bowl game, and had to step aside for a 5th yr transfer from Wake Forest.
  4. The original is near the top of my short list of Westerns sans John Wayne. 1. High Noon 2. 3:10 to Yuma
  5. It is on the channel that keeps changing it's brand. It's Encore, then Starz, then MGMSomething.
  6. If you like Lost the spiritual successor is From. They are doing a lot of the same things, both the good and the bad.
  7. Free television paid for by ads?
  8. The op-ed was vanilla and probably went through 20 drafts from an outside firm. None of the critics seem to have read it. However they are not tone deaf. Jack and Jenkins were not speaking from a position of strength. I don't see how the op-ed can be a CR indicator compared to how they just moved our Hockey from the East to the BUG.
  9. ND@SC slightly edged out the Iron Bowl this year. Partially because SC was still playoff-live.
  10. You would think the private schools would get the message and form their own union. But no they would rather wait until they get voted off the island.
  11. Well it's kind of simple. Is college football expanding or declining during consolidation. You can start the clock with Board of Regents that started media driven CR.
  12. So we are circling back to the CFA? @hurtlocker, they could rebrand as the PACC. and we could call them the P-wacc.
  13. I just heard that our football program had entered the transfer portal. False alarm?
  14. We saw that UT can leave w/o OU but not the other way around.
  15. Your examples set the bar like I would rather watch the NFC Championship game then the NYJ preseason. The question is do you want to watch UT-TTech or UT-Ole Miss. The former has 100 years of history, the latter will be interesting by the time we are in nursing homes.
  16. I can't keep up with gaming nowadays. I assume there is some SIMS like Candyland multiverse that will eventually be a movie? On SDSU, you either want to play in Southern California or you don't. I am unaware of any private schools in the area that could be convinced to revive their football.
  17. Final Countdown is absurdly overplayed. Although I guess not when it came out. ND celebrated the end of her bowl victory drought (Aloha bowl vs U Hawaii Xmas eve 2009) with Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi. And that was before we knew Bon Jovi jr would curiously enroll. Coach Freeman seems a good fit for The Temptations.
  18. The middle is fine. I know Jefferson Starship was popular but for football recruiting? It is hard to remember and appreciate how little video media recruits were consuming in the 1980s.
  19. WAC10 I love it. As to the above, A&M did not want any more Texas schools following them to the SEC. Their want was drowned by what the tv networks wanted. It has been clear since UGA board of Regents v. NCAA that college football is marching towards an NFL model where the biggest programs will be in a tiny number of 'conferences.' UW and UO are just big enough that they must be included in whatever NFL we end up with. ND has bungled every decision for the last 10 years so I assume we will stumble into the BUG with our best buddy Stanford.
  20. Rhea Seehorn is in an episode of the New Twilight Zone. The shallow plot becomes much more involving if you see it as happening to Kim post-Saul.
