  1. Saw it Saturday night. Hoo boy that was an interesting ride. Fun to watch and some outside the box thinking makes it worth seeing. I think some of you are either going to really enjoy it or not like it at all. I don't see much middle ground on a film like this.
  2. I remember those days of watching games and getting fairly wasted. For whatever reason that field goal fest between Saban and Miles many years ago sticks out to me of a game where the alcohol was flowing more freely than points.
  3. Chang's clock management is roughly as good as how fast I move on the beach when I'm fishing.
  4. Matsuzawa is actually fairly good at kicking onside kicks so we'll see. So close!!!!
  5. The clock management for Hawai'i is pretty humorous right now. I cannot for the life of me understand how a team that throws the ball as much as they do not be able to run their plays faster down 10 with the clock under 5 minutes.
  6. Probably gonna overturn that catch, but man what an effort to catch it.
  7. This bum of a QB for the Spartans is averaging 25 yards per completion tonight. I mean good Lord that's ridiculous.
  8. Best thing about these games is this is still not late out here. It'd be awesome if they could come back and win. Would make for a pretty festive atmosphere next week.
  9. This could get really fun now. Let's go Bows!!!!
  10. What a catch by White for Hawai'i. That was incredible concentration.
  11. If the Rainbow Warriors score now and get a stop again this one gets really interesting. The defense for Hawai'i has been a dumpster fire though for most of this game. Sucks because I was hoping to see them come into next week with a bunch of momentum.
  12. I was attempting to explain baseball to someone in Ethiopia during the game. My explanation led them to understand baseball being somewhat like cricket. Anyone that thinks baseball games are long should look at how long it takes to finish a cricket match.
  13. Big cultural difference for sure. I can speak to this with experience watching Japanese people clean up after themselves when they eat. They are just super nice human beings overall. Can't wait to talk to quite a few of them tomorrow. Can anyone imagine (Insert whatever American athlete you want) cleaning up like that because you were taught to since you were old enough to know to do so?
  14. That guy will never, ever have to buy dinner in Los Angeles or the entire country of Japan for the rest of his life. I am not certain that the majority of baseball fans understand just how big the sport is in Japan. Every single group of Japanese people I meet here are Dodger fans. I mentioned it a few days ago, but that franchise has an entire nation following it. I am happy for Yamamoto getting the Series MVP. His comments through his interpreter are pretty much what I would expect to hear a Japanese player say. They're just wired differently, but in a good way. Good on the Dodgers for pulling out a most improbable victory when they were dead to rights. I'd also wager that Rojas and Smith won't be paying for anything in LA either after tonight's clutch homers.
