All things SNL
I’m cautiously optimistic on an instant classic episode tonight. Glaser is very funny and pretty attractive. I think she’ll take hosting very seriously and be very involved. She’s said publicly before she’d love to host the show, but didn’t think she’d ever get a chance. This is her golden ticket.

Innkeeper is the best in my opinion. Nice root beer note. Sneakerhead was good, but a step below. Innkeeper is on sale at Spec’s for $75 right now.

Texas A&M at Mizzou game thread
Sigh. Mizzou has to go down 3 scores before Drink figures out they can run at will against aggy.

Tech and aggy in the CFP. Write it down with a Sharpie. Meanwhile, we’re fighting for lives. Fun times.

We’ll see. If Tech draws an ACC team, I think they’ll win. But yes, SEC and Big Ten are going to give them trouble.

Healthy Arizona State is the only Big 12 team that can touch them talent wise, and they won’t play them again. 12-1 is probably happening.

Just when I thought Spurs fans couldn’t get worse, and then they did this. Big Red is 100% the only white guy in the Jackals.

Taylor Rooks is a baddie. Holy shit. Can we play every game on Amazon?

Great Western Movies
Hostiles. Holy shit what a cast. Bale Chalamet Plemons Rosamund Pike Jonathan Majors And then the character actors. Ben Foster The Great Rory Cochrane The Great Bill Camp Stephen Lang Wes Studi And Ryan Bingham just for fun. I don’t think Nolan will make a Western because Hostiles is spiritually a Nolan film.

I don’t think The Searchers really has a Comanche perspective, and honestly they probably don’t deserve one.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Just when we all overlooked and forgot how weird a place LSU is, they reminded us. Long live the Kingfish.

Great Western Movies
My top 3, and I’ll try to rank them: 1) Rio Bravo. Great hang. Prime Angie Dickinson. Dean Martin sings. 2) The Searchers. Monument Valley landscapes in Vista Vision in 1956. Not sure how Armybrat’s head didn’t pop off his neck. Vera Miles was a piece. 3) The Man Who Liberty Valence. Jimmy Stewart at the end of his peak and John Wayne kind of the middle of his. Misdirection. Anti-heroes. Lee Marvin’s best days in his best years. Again Vera Miles. I’d give up drinking and red meat for her.

Pretty great podcast about the great and enigmatic John Ford. A couple episodes focused on his masterpiece The Searchers and filming at Monument Valley. I already loved The Searchers, but this deepened my appreciation and warranted a rewatch

Pizza
Just ordered slices so far. They absolutely beat the doors off of Pinks. I’m can never go back. It’s so horrible for you I’ve resolved to only eat good pizza, and try to limit it to a slice unless it’s a special occasion.

Castle is averaging 20 points a game and is an elite defender. He probably makes an all NBA defensive team this season. And oh yeah, he’s 6’6’’ so he can guard any position. You can’t be serious.

Many in the thread wanted to spend the Capela money on another guard.

Welp, that’s exactly what happened last year before the SEC Championship, and it didn’t change a thing.

Baby steps, but Reed played well. Maybe bringing the ball up helps him get in rhythm. He played meaningful minutes while Holiday and Davison played 2 minutes in garbage time. Really nice game from Clint. 10 boards in 16 minutes. I’m warming on the signing. Should be a huge help in Adams ans Alpie’s load management.

Imagine DFS getting the same looks that Okogie is getting. Still need a PG, but I really like our team. I didn’t have a stocky white guy absolutely cooking the Rockets on tonight’s bingo card.

Memphis is such a weird franchise. They always draft well, but haven’t hit on a superstar. Ja and Triple J are annual borderline All Stars. I think they should have blown it up in the offseason, but they doubled down with Triple J’s extension. The small market success plan is right there in OKC. Memphis with a shit ton of picks would be interesting. But they’re the only pro sports team in town and don’t want to tank. Thus they’re stuck in play in hell for eternity.
