80s cable TV
I couldn't tell whether Yogi Bear or the Jetsons was made in the 80s or 50s. Animation had not changed that radically. Now if it doesn't look like anime it is the equivalent of black and white tv. The Muppet Babies was very memorable and I could rattle off every character from the star wars episode like Kermit Skyhopper and Skeeter 3PO. I don't think I can remember a single joke from Gummy Bears.

Can't they work out a deal where the streaming service leases out certain games to network tv?

80s cable TV
Takes me back to like 3 years ago before my cable co moved WGN into the next tier. Great sitcom syndication and their local news has way more murders

Is it safe to say that nothing important will ever make it into the meeting minutes? In any university town, the people pelting you did not actually attend the university. Plus the two schools have mellowed out. Irish fans had no serious complaints in Columbus last year outside of OC Rees.

Is the word dis-contiguous? Whatever you call it, no conference with an island has ever lasted. Even with the University of Hawaii.

We have the more recent win in the Citrus. Also in 1990 we cleared out Miami and gave the pollsters cover by beating Colorado but/for the phantom clip.

I don't know if College Station has an identity outside of the university but no one says A&M is a local monopoly. Valpo? https://blog.history.in.gov/ku-klux-u-how-the-klan-almost-bought-a-university/

In the SC/UCLA -> Big12 scenario they almost have to take ASU as well. You don't leave an enormous public school in a top 10 metro area as a gap in your footprint.

No. Not even similar. It is very hard to name another famous program that sits in the heart of a top 5 recruiting territory and made a history of underachievement. Maybe Georgia Tech.

Tom Sizemore is on his deathbed
He seemed a bit big in Saving Private Ryan. But he seemed like they time warped in a real soldier.

Mayfair Witches -- Amazon Prime Series
So... the family secret was going from dark mysterious lover to wise caring stepfather. The only other thing I got was that Perseus looked at Medusa.

I can't think of any conference where UCF makes sense. That's is probably why they never stop changing conferences.

Random TV shows/thoughts that don’t warrant their own thread.
There's some kind of law that I can't love a show until I've hated it. Usually because a preconception that wasn't what the show is actually about. I just started BSG in 2021 so to me it's kind of new.

I wouldn't call it stupid. SyFy has their specific formula in which the main ingredient is 20s kids on adderrall. The Ark is a nice call back to classic Trek and Battlestar. Also on SighFi I just saw an episode of the new Twilight Zone with Rhea Seehorn. I could only see it as set in Kim Wexler's life after Saul.

IF you mean the ND-SC game, the networks would like a word with you.

Doubtful it was the BUG's idea because the SEC never played a full round robin.

Great Western Movies
If we don't limit it to B movies then what's the point? For example, No Country For Old Men, is a noir set in the west made by top dollar creators. I don't know how to discuss it alongside Apache Uprising. Likewise I am not including any Wayne movies after 1946 because he is basically his own genre.

It's like 75% of ND's philosophy of scheduling where you have annual rival siblings, biennial cousins, and in-laws played once or twice each decade. I like how the SEC proposed 3 rivals without a 4 team pod. That said it is a good design of a bad idea. A college football season that looks like the NFL is completely unsatisfying.
