  1. Dear Ten Bears: Did you knock? Regards, Shep Proudfoot
  2. The Coens had me at Blood Simple and it shall continue as long as I can find their work. 34 years - so hard to believe. This antholgy is no exception. I'm still savoring every chapter, a veritable feast for the senses. It's hard to watch Stephen "Pan Shot!" Root without flashing back to the blind deejay.
  3. And very little, if any, CGI and special effects. When will the studios and indie producers realize it's about storytelling and characters, not plugging photogenic humans into video games? Send us more like Breaking Bad, and we will watch. 'Sall good, man.
  4. Self-styled missionary kayaks to forbidden island + hostile islanders armed with bows and arrows = https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/world/asia/american-killed-andaman-island-tribe.amp.html
  5. Good, long episode series on AMC running these past few days and winding up Saturday, I think. Coen-style directing and camera work, and some pretty dang nice acting jobs from a young Brit actress and Michael Shannon as lead Mossad guy. John Le Carre his own self, who wrote the original novel, does a cameo as a waiter in an outfoor cafe. Scene 1 of episode 1 starts everything off with an example of how gullible people were in the innocent days of 1979.
  6. Ad nauseum use of "dial up," as in "Coach Smegma dialed up more pressure." Just stop it with the dialing up already. I'm talking to you, Herbstreit.
  7. Assholes using the COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS ONLY line at the bank drive-up for their piddly-ass personal shit.

    UCF

    UCF has already beaten Bama, in Tuscaloosa, no less, 40-38 in 2000. I loved it when they humiliated Auburn last year in the Whatever Bowl. Each of the P5 should have a wheel of fortune spin to pick a team to go home & home with UCF over the next couple of years, and drop a few paycheck games. Memo to UCF sports marketing wonks: get a better logo. The current one reminds me of a muffler shop.
  9. Take UAB and the points. Here's why: https://theathletic.com/656972/2018/11/16/uab-blazers-football-return-defense-second-year/ "UAB’s 9-1 record this year has been fueled by one of the best defenses in the country. Its 13.2 points allowed per game trails only Clemson, Alabama and Michigan. Its 3.8 sacks per game leads the nation. The Blazers have three shutouts and have allowed points in only eight of 28 quarters in conference play."
  10. Jayhawks press conferences just got a lot more interesting. And mysterious.
  11. The shooter never even _looked_ into the dashcam vehicle. The cop whose voice we heard must've thought he was a dead man.
  12. We hereby revoke your avatar and declare you daft. Sincerely yours, The Beatles
  13. "Louisville football is on a collision course with the national championship. The only variable is time." - Howard Schnellenberger, 1985
  14. I'll run off that bridge when I get to it.
  15. Millennialspeak news and sports reporters beginning EVERY FUCKING SPOKEN sentence summarizing some event with "So . . . ." So - nothing! Say what you came to say without a fucking "so . . ." preamble and get on with it. And since when did a reaction have to be a "takeaway?" I blame bold roast coffee beans and ritalin.
  16. Fox Sports recently ran a short segment trailing a camera crew around Pullman for Mike's daily walk. It was the week before Halloween. Mike sauntered along a sidewalk faced by Craftsman bungalows, absolutely no one around, steaming large coffee in hand, gazing at brilliant blue skies and autumn leaves, when he just. Stopped. And wheeled ninety degrees to gaze in rapt wonder at a front yard full of ghosts, bizarre jackolanterns and cornstalk monsters. He just stood rooted there without moving for a good fifteen or twenty seconds, taking it all in as if memorizing the scene. As he said in the live mascots video clip, he's "curious." Bravo, Pirate. I hope that fucking Auburn eagle flies the hell out of the stadium this week, right after he squirts about two quarts of eagle shit on the Aubies and snatches off a wig hat or two. Leach to Auburn - free the eagles!
  17. Bastardi! Beat me to it. Read this whole thread and all the Tom Cruise debate just to be sure no one else had mentioned my candidate for worst casting, spoken word, Keanu as Jonathan Harker, everyone's favorite sacrificial lamb whose innocent journey sets up the entire plot, is cast as a Victorian surfer law clerk. His casting spoilt this movie but I still watch it every time it catches my eye. Oldman, even with the odd hair and getups, gives me the heebie jeebies every time he opens his mouth, whether to utter lines like "Leesten to the cheeld-d-ren of the naeiight; whot bewwdifole mewzzick dhey mayke," or to lick Jonathan Dude's drops of blood off the edge of that straight razor.
  18. Terrapins Madness - not unlike the melee at the Ayatollah Khomeini funeral when a massive, hysterical throng was crowd surfing his (loaded) casket trying to put it on a helicopter for some reason, and the lid popped open and his arm flopped out as if he were waving. Then the shit really started.
  19. Vintage presser response from a contemplative Leach addressing the question, "What was the best party you ever attended?" (video won't imbed, but it's in the link.) I for one would love to see the Pirate in the SEC, even at Auburn. https://articles.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/09/why_was_mike_leach_discussing.amp
  20. Not a Gundy fan here but bravo the statement. Who was the walking scrotum with a media pass who asked Gundy the question that prompted the rant? Citing "social media" as something to which a head coach should pay attention is nonsense. I mean, do you think leaders of big time organizations have time to bother with Twit . . . hold on. The president is coming up with a new derogatory adjective to describe the media. Gotta go.
  21. This game causes me to have visions of the OSU paddle brigade having a friendly "disciplinary encounter" with the Horns' chaps girls, creating a major distraction during which the Pokes squander the home field advantage. Bet at least a ha'p'ney on Texas and under.
  22. There, now I see it! Horns and Tide again in California for the natty. Sounds good to me! Then we can moan for the next ten years, "If Tua hadn't been injured . . ." Ahh, I'm just fuckin' witcha. I'd like to see that matchup anyway if we can both get to the playoff. I get to sing along with your fans, "I-I-I've been working on the rai-i-i-lroad allll the live long day . . . ." And I love that "Dinah, won't you blow" part.
  23. Jerry Tagge aummmm, Rich Glover aummmmmm, Johnny Rodgers aummmmmm. Repeat mantra until next season. This too shall pass. Speaking of passes, don't first year corches get a pass? Well, then, give the guy a fuckin pass awready.
  24. I would contribute to the buyout if the backroom gang at Auburn would bring the Pirate to the Plains, and I'm a Bama man. Talk about your good theater - Saban v. Leach for at least a few years.
