  1. Bud Elliott, while he looks like a Florida choad, has made a valid point before on paycheck jobs. Coach goes into a terrible situation, knowing it’s a terrible situation, but does it anyway for generational money. I think House has basically killed this philosophy, but there a few big schools willing to eat a huge buyout. aggy still paying Jimbo + buying out Elko + finding enough money for Dillingham would be financial malfeasance at a public university, but hey maybe Sharp at 74+ gets Phil Knight kind of desperate.
  2. I should probably familiarize myself with Georgia as they appear to be on our primary foil in the SEC. My 10,000 foot view: - The offense hasn’t been the same since Monken/Bennett left. - They got incredibly lucky with Bennett. Their QB recruiting has been dogshit for almost all of Kirby’s tenure. More 5 star busts than aggy’s 2022 class. - The fanbase celebrated Mike Bobo leaving and dreaded him coming back, and here we are. Kirby is a stubborn fuck and wanted to bring his friend back. - Their WR recruiting has been abysmal. Again, a walk on bailed them out in Ladd McConkey - Schumann is very capable, but Kirby is delegating too much. Saban’s big recruiting pitch to DBs at Bama was that they would be individually coached by the GOAT. You never hear shit about Kirby jumping in there. During games all he does is bitch and work the refs like a government mule. When does he have time to coach his team? He’s running on to the field after every play to cry about something with a running play clock. - The discipline issues are another indicator that Kirby isn’t hands on.
  3. Boise probably did just enough against Penn State to prove they belonged. But I’m not sure. PSU got very cute on offense. They probably win by 30 if they pound the rock all night. Their entire argument to be in was a close road loss to Oregon, and beating a ranked UNLV twice.
  4. Really weird they had a segment on the Acie Law shot instead of Texas beating aggy the last time we played.
  5. I think we can all agree the SEC was down this year. Georgia, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Missouri, LSU, and South Carolina with 3-4 losses. Really shitty QB play outside of Sellers, late season Lagway, and sometimes Ewers.
  6. I watched Branch Wars for the 500th time today. Every scene is great, but Karen catching Jim in disguise hiding in the PT Cruiser still kills me. Michael and Dwight on the radio is one of the funniest bits The Office ever did.
  7. SEC announcer sounds exactly like Cris Collingsworth. Still better than Lowell, but not by much.
  8. I’ve thought about it. I assume you pour a couple ounces from every bottle and track what you added? I hate to be that guy, but if it’s not BT, HH, or OF I’m probably passing for the foreseeable future. I keep trying new stuff and it’s disappointed me. Time to play the classics for awhile. Green River Full Proof has probably been the only new product I’ve enjoyed this year.
  9. aggy not pursuing a transfer QB is sheer negligence. They should have been in it for Mensah, and they should be actively tampering with guys like Leavitt. Rolling with Reed is going to cost them yet another season.
  10. I finally watched it last night. The more I sit with it, the more I like it. There was obviously some nepotism and dead dad sympathy in getting it made, but Reitman made a real film instead of some tribute band bullshit. He did a couple clever things : - He filmed the movie in Atlanta. If they had filmed at 30 Rock, many, many things would have polished or outright cut from the film. - Studio and distribution. Sony made the movie, Netflix will have the streaming rights. No Universal, no NBC, no Peacock, no Lorne. - in the film, Lorne is actively being cucked by check notes, Dan Aykroyd. - Chevy Chase is a full on crazy person. Probably accurate, but Chevy has famously said he didn’t like the film. - Milton Berle pills out his horse cock in a showdown with Chevy and his finance. I always thought of Berle as a beloved comedian. The giant cock fame feels fairly new. I’m sure his estate wasn’t thrilled with this scene. - The Rockefeller ice rink scene was tragic and beautiful. I hope it happened. It’s pleasant to think of Belushi and Gilda in that moment. - I love the casting. Garrett Morris probably got too much screen time, and Belushi was a flat out miss. The actor did a Jack Black impression the whole film. Also a lot of Billy Chrystal for a guy who famously had his sketch cut from the first show. - Finally credit to Reitman for creating the correct vibe.
  11. I feel awful for Ms. Plaza. Terrific performer and a lovely woman. I’m sure 99% of this thread will be jokes about how she’s available now.
  12. I assume OU agreed in some way to the schedule. I don’t think it was voted on, but they likely signed everything with a rough draft of the scheduling methodology in hand. I told the office Sooners it was a very tough schedule and they all scoffed at me. They were riding high after beating us and enjoying competent QB play with Gabriel. Of course they’re bitching about it now after they had a losing season and Texas is in the semifinal.
  13. I think it’s time for another Nashville charity pick Bert.
  14. Not to get deep with it, but Fern helping Neel and not making fun of him for being different was touching and a good lesson for all of us. While I think some of the Neel cuteness can be on the nose, we all had a friend like him growing up. No athletic ability, but extremely loyal and a good friend.
  15. Sheridan doesn’t give a fuck about your notes. The guy thinks he’s a modern Hemingway and has fuck you money.
  16. This one is odd. The Willett funk is there but it’s mild. I hate the Willett funk, but this is pretty crushable. I probably won’t revisit given the price tag, but I’m glad I tried it.
  17. As Bozo so elegantly has explained, sometimes single barrels don’t work out. I’d give this one a C-.
  18. SEC Final is fucking bizarre. - Back and forth game. - Stockton played a great game. - Georgia didn’t do the little things. - Georgia has found their QB for next year.
  19. Zeirlein and the cry baby bitch corn dog John Granato were talking about this on 975 Houston this morning. Zeirlein said the interception + targeting could be interpreted as the same play.
  20. I figured. People in the 1000s were getting it in Irving.
  21. Nate’s Angel Gabriel sketch on his Paramount Christmas Special is beat for beat just as funny as the George Washington sketch on SNL. I laughed my ass off.
  22. Yeah Dillingham shouldn’t leave for anything less than a blue blood. So that leaves OU. Not ideal, but I think they have some recruiting disadvantages in the modern era that will be difficult to overcome.
  23. Yup. -9.5 would be my guess on where it settles.
