  1. So you think all of those coaches I listed are better than Sark at maintaining focus? You may be right, but he seems as good as any when it comes to rallying the troops...Bama game last year and how they came out against blowU are good examples. I'm worried about complacency against the "gimme" games on our schedule for sure though, especially those later in the season. I really don’t think you want to go down the path of comparing Sark’s big game successes vs. failures. I mean you just cited a game we lost and a game against a team without a quarterback as the best examples of “rallying the troops”. I like the guy and hope he succeeds, but the head coach should be your number one concern with this team. We will have more talent across the board than every conference opponent we play. Anything less than a trip to the Big 12 championship is a complete failure.
  2. Sadly FIFY. But I'm sure this is the year it all changes!
  3. 7 out of 11 starters on offense are upper classman (and that isn't even including Ewers and Brooks, who are both in their third years), and 9 out of 11 on defense are upper classman. We are young in some spots but it's not really that bad.
  4. Doris is great and about a billion times superior to Mark Jackson. Van Gundy was a caricature, but he actually had decent insights into the game sandwiched between his stupid diatribes. Can’t say I’ll really miss either of those two.
  5. I fucking lived on this game when I was 10 years old. I can still hear that dumb laughing noise from the ice cream truck in my head. I guess I have to check this out.
  6. It’s that time of the year again, boys
  7. Saw it this morning in 70mm Imax. Blown away (a pun, haha). Nolan is hit or miss for me but this was easily top 2 (the other being Dunkirk). RDJ was incredible. I felt the last hour was a little much. Could have trimmed a fair amount.
  8. that's all well and good, but I think you are discounting the fact that saying retard and posting Michael Scott and Norm YouTube videos for the millionth time without someone daring to complain about it is "the absolute soul of this website and its predecessor".
  9. You already know this, but your 20 year old son probably isn't taking clothing advice from his middle aged dad unless he is really special. I don't think throwing him a Sears catalog will do much good, so probably best to just roll your eyes and pat him on the head. We all wore our version of a gold chain at some point (well, maybe not G650, he probably had tailored onsies as a child). But to directly answer your question, yeah pretty much everything is online for someone his age. Reddit MFA forums actually aren't terrible for someone who is 20 with (presumably) little money to get a read on basics. And I'm sure there is some tik tok shit I'm now too old to know about.
  10. Has to be the perfect storm of GG, Robbie and Warner Bro’s insane marketing rollout. I don’t remember the last non comic book movie that had this much pop culture resonance. It’s everywhere
  11. Saw it and really liked it. Probably third in the Greta rankings for me, but that’s tough company. Margot Robbie is from a different planet. My hope is that Greta takes the Chris Nolan route. Use pop culture IP to elevate her power in Hollywood, and then go back to making her own work with a higher budget. Supposedly her next two films are Narnia films, which doesn’t thrill me but remains comparable to Nolan’s three pop culture IP movies.
  12. So jarring to have one of the top 2 or 3 greatest living actresses appear out of nowhere in episodic television. She is incredible and the episode was the best of the season (and probably the series).
  13. What's really funny is that this entire thing started because derka and ztejas got offended by a female ESPN reporter describing the WNBA three point contest results as breaking a WNBA and NBA record. Derka found that description to be, and I quote, "extra retarded". But sure, this is all about tired-ass Office memes and definitely not about being scolded for using the word as a stand in for dumb, stupid, etc.
  14. I can assure you that you do not want to go back and read the optimist’s view of Charlie Strong.
  15. If that was written as a joke, it was way too accurate a depiction of the average football board poster to be obvious.
  16. Never has the Harrison Ford who gives a shit gif been more appropriate. You guys get your panties in a wad over the dumbest shit.
  17. Sanctuary. Good flick. I would scrub a toilet for Margaret Qualley no questions asked.
  18. Not reading the thread to avoid spoilers, but how many of the predecessors do I really need to see before seeing this in theaters? I’ve seen 1 a few times (including in theaters as a little kid), and 2 at least once. No others.
  19. Were you able to get tix at the Lincoln center 70mm imax? It’s basically sold out for the first 2 weeks, I waited way too long apparently.
  20. One thing I always struggled with in the final season is how quickly Ted rolls over to approve the deal and sign a contract. He goes from saying “if I sign that contract I am dead” to jumping on board in like 2 minutes because of some silly thing Don says.
  21. Apologies for starting this and then abandoning you to take up the torch. I haven't had time to read through all the no doubt erudite back and forth over the last few pages, but to be clear the bolded is all I intended with my original post (and I was not intending to capture Edge players). If someone wants to argue that doesn't equate to "borderline dumpster fire", fine, choose a different descriptor. I think the results are overall not great - regardless of the reason - and I hope it improves or I believe we'll have an average at best interior defensive line in 2024/2025. As you say the coaches obviously recognize the dearth of talent and are doing what they can to address it. And for fuck's sake I hope Sidney finds his Ritalin before he reads this post.
  22. What a great fucking season. The only performance that didn’t work for me was JLC. Just a little too dialed up for my taste.
