  1. I don’t get the politics on this show. I thought the entire purpose of the Imperium was to : - Keep the spice flowing. - Balance the Great Houses so one house doesn’t become so powerful they can take on the emperor. - Keep the Great Houses separate and apart so they can’t gang up on the Imperium. The Harkonnens are living in exile and eating hairy whales. No family atomics or shit Glowglobes in sight. The Atreides are in good standing and living on their ancestral home world Caladan. Family atomics for days. A Harkonnen wipes out most of the Atriedes Line including the Duke and his heir and… the Imperium allows the perpetrator and her sister to join the Bene Gesserit, and their uncle and his heir to live. Imperium doctrine would dictate all of the Harkonnens be put to the sword. Maybe a plans, within plans type thing, but the Harkonnens are so low on the totem pole, that the other Great Houses would be outraged if they weren’t severely punished. And finally, the emperor is completely cool with 2 Harkonnens running the Bene Gesserit?! A house the Imperium exiled, now runs one of the most powerful and secretive organizations in the galaxy. Dafaq?! It’s completely illogical. All that said, decent to good show and I’m happy to watch more Dune.
  2. All of surly is Nathan “Nate” Esquire. I just gotta know.
  3. Initial thoughts: - Looks and feels like Star Wars. Finally. It looks terrific. Better than The Mandalorian in my opinion. - Goonies vibes are real. A lot of cool pirate stuff going on. - I love the mystery of their home planet. The undersecretary references the New Republic, but the pirates have no idea what their home world is. Feels like a top secret New Republic world tucked away in deep space just in case some bad shit happened in the known galaxy. It kind of reminds me of 3 Body Problem. If there’s something bigger and badder than you are out there, the best thing for survival is to hide and not leave your solar system/explore.
  4. Mateer’s best competition was Boise, UW, and Tech. Damn near ran for 200 yards against Tech. Threw for over 300 yards with 2 TDs and a pick against Boise. Threw for 245 with 3 total TDs against UW. It’s early, but Mateer might be the best QB in the portal. Arbuckle is better than the falling knife Seth Littrell. To state the obvious, they hired Arbuckle to get Mateer.
  5. Feels like Fasusi. It’s the only position we’ll overpay for.
  6. I guess I overlooked it when the schedules came out, but I would have flipped it to Arkansas-LSU and OU-Misery. As Roll Call pointed out, OU-LSU feels very forced. They have almost none shared history. ESPN asked MS State and Ole Miss to move the Egg Bowl to Friday afternoon. You have to obey a direct order from the Mouse, but it’s a much better game on Thanksgiving night.
  7. Exactly the same premise and almost exactly the same jokes. Maybe call each other next time SEC Shorts and SEC Roll Call.
  8. Missed opportunity from SEC Shorts. Just silly, gentle satire instead of funny, but hard truths. I guess they know to play in the laugh at yourself territory with perennial losers like aggy and Auburn.
  9. Pretty solid effort despite the Texas omission. Starting to drill into the aggy weirdness and bizarre sense of entitlement. Only took them a decade to figure it out.
  10. Andy Staples is mostly regarded, but I’ll trust him on UF news. He said Lane said no a few months back.
  11. It feels like they’re prolonging the inevitable, but I’ll give them credit for decisively pivoting after Lane said no.
  12. There goes the Hilson cash. Time to dig deep for Fasusi. You know deep down Elko is put out they’re not in for Justus Terry.
  13. Wishing it into existence. I don’t think he’d give us many problems in Florida, but when WVU has been good they have recruited the state well. I could see a guy like Hilson visiting WVU late and Orangebloods posters pissing their pants.
  14. This. SMU making it before aggy would a nice little meltdown on TexAgs.
  15. If Ohio State hosts a CFP game, I’m going to lose my mind.
  16. GameDay went in on Lane and Ole Miss for faking injuries. ESPN seems opposed. It seems to be a SEC thing. You don’t see it much in Big Ten games. Does ESPN have enough influence to change the rule? Maybe, but it might not be on FOX’s radar.
  17. Notre Dame is playing really well. Totally plausible they jump into the 5 spot.
  18. All the Jimbo calls were pure gold last night. The fact that these people can flip the switch, and go sell insurance on Monday is stupefying.
  19. Fans for sure want Klein gone. TexAgs mods are pushing back and blaming RB injuries and lack of personnel at WR.
  20. Fornelli in rare form on Cover 3 cooking up fOSU excuses. “Ohio State lost the game. Michigan didn’t win…. Ohio State has had 1 billion injuries on OL….Michigan did nothing to win this game.” Except ya know… they won the game. Blames the whole thing on Day. Not a peep of Will Howard sucking shit. Finally, he still thinks fOSU could beat Texas in the playoff.
