  1. Makes me sad that Big Jim has wasted the latter half of his career on this. You know who doesn’t give a shit about my opinion? Big Jim
  2. Incredible movie. The panning intro, the across the street father and son routine, the final conversation between Travis and Jane. Magic stuff. Criterion’s 4K restoration is primo.
  3. Edge rotation will be interesting next year. Simmons obviously won’t come off the field much, so how does Muschamp use Jackson, Terry (assuming he doesn’t grow into an interior player), Zina, and maybe Spence if he doesn’t move to off ball LB.
  4. I think Penn dialed it up to a 15, and I would be interested in the movie where he is at a 7. You need only look at past PTA films for menacing yet humorous characters that don’t veer into cartoon characters. I’m sure Penn will win, even though a massively more nuanced and well acted Benicio performance is staring them right in the face. Historically the Academy loves a show boat performance and is inept at awarding excellence, although it is improving in both respects.
  5. I agree with Eskimo’s responses on 1 and 3. That stuff all just seems completely unimportant in the context of this particular movie. I actually agree with you on point 2 as it relates to Lockjaw. It was one of the only aspects of the movie I bumped against. I would have preferred that he be performed in a less cartoonish manner. I get that we live in a time with actualized cartoon villains, but I just never fully bought him as a real threatening presence.
  6. The problem is that most of those highly trafficked threads get inundated with the worst posters on this website. It’s a fucking beating trying to read a single page with 15-20 ignored comments from nicole, the burnt orange handle and the druggy guy. I don’t remember the old shaggy having this many voluminous idiots, but it’s probably hindsight thing.
  7. I do think there is a major recalibration of expectations that will happen/needs to happen in the modern era of college football. Even this season, most of our fans yell and scream about how we obviously deserved to be in the playoffs over so many teams because of our schedule, and yet in the next breath say Sark is on the hot seat for not making the playoffs. Competitive for the playoffs should be the expectation every year. We met that expectation this year. Other teams are spending real money on players, too, including teams we beat this year.
  8. If we fire a coach who follows up two straight top 4 finishes with 9-3 and 9-3, we deserve the 7-10 years in the desert that follow.
  9. Do we use “off the top mother fucking rope” as a stand in for illiterate fucktard nowadays?
  10. Sure, how about a hundo?
  11. Man this is just brutal football.
  12. I love this website
  13. You took that from this quote “Akina was a problem. Hiring secondary coaches before PK was a problem.” Akina was a problem. That is a singular thought. Gideon was hired before PK, which was also a problem. Another singular thought. From which you could infer that the detachment of PK from the secondary was a problem. I know they used to admit stupid people into UT in the 80s and 90s, but I would think two sentences wouldn’t be too taxing.
  14. Funnily enough, I think the 08 and 09 differences are similar to the 23 and 24 differences. 08 and 23 had really good offenses (08 much better), with pretty good but flawed defenses (particularly in the secondary). The 09 and 24 defenses were fucking elite, and the offenses were pretty good but very flawed.
