  1. As a kid I can recall watching it once. I didn’t really connect with it, but clearly it landed well with a whole bunch of people. I don’t dislike it, but it was never on the list to watch each year. I preferred all the cartoon Christmas movies as a kid like Rudolph. Never get tired of hearing Burl Ives.
  2. It has never been a tradition for me to watch the movie like it is for a lot of people. However, knowing what Jimmy Stewart was suffering through mentally, especially during the one take scene where he breaks down and sheds real tears because of his memories of flights over Germany, has this amongst the Christmas movies I will watch if I get some time to do so. He was a wreck at that moment in time emotionally and had aged a good 10-15 years because of those flights.
  3. Answers don’t matter. They’re going to do whatever they want. No other country will do anything about it either. Big nuclear arsenal out front shoulda told ya.
  4. Aside from these clearly illegal killings, the next time we have a Democrat as president is the 2nd worst thing about this because they won’t prosecute and jail a single person associated with this. It’s another reason I am glad I won’t be in the US whenever that moment comes to pass. One side is filled with traitors and the other is filled with spineless cowards who won’t do what Brazil just did to Bolsonaro.
  5. All of these people are just horrific human beings. They have made it where when I run across people from red states that I am more guarded than usual before I will talk to them. This whole cult is just a complete clown show that has torn to shreds the fabric of American society.
  6. Good job officials on making the Big XII officials look good. Christ that late hit call was Wyoming’s QB doing a Euro flop.
  7. Really chippy out there. Wyoming probably should fire their coach and start over. This is the least talented team I have seen in-person this year. I am not sure they’d win a game in the FCS playoffs.
  8. Almost had a good fight! Wyoming player threw a helmet. Hawaii needs to put their starters back in and score again.
  9. He missed! And he gets a standing ovation from the home fans.
  10. Harris and Ashlock are the best duo at WR that Hawai’i has had in a long time. They catch darn near everything thrown their direction. That last catch by Ashlock in traffic was ridiculous.
  11. Here is the coveted Paniolo Trophy. So important in fact that it sits on a 20 dollar fold up table right in front of me that anyone could just take home.
  12. Wyoming does not have The Tokyo Toe kicking for them as their guy missed from 30 yards. 20-7 at halftime.
  13. I dated a woman once who was Igbo. She was pretty cool and her and her three siblings are all doctors.
  14. 25-25 with another 47 yarder! Really happy for this young man. IMG_0196.mov
  15. Alejado with a 78 yard TD pass to go up 17-7 on Wyoming. He throws some bad INT’s at times, but he creates so many plays with his ability to move and make decisions on the run. Fun kid to watch.
  16. The Tokyo Toe is 24-24 now with this one. IMG_0192.mov
  17. Probably already mentioned, but whatever. Cool to hear this and see Mele Kalikimaka posted everywhere out here. Also the tie-in to my favorite Christmas movie, Christmas Vacation, makes this my favorite.
  18. Maybe if you had, oh I don’t know, WON THE GAME you wouldn’t be hearing all of that. What a petulant child.
  19. He’s fairly annoying when he goes off on a tangent and won’t admit he is wrong.
  20. I’ll be at the Hawai’i game again tomorrow night. Last home game before they play in the Hawai’i Bowl in December. Looking forward to the game. Hawai’i is one of the best home teams in college football. Their game just doesn’t seem to travel well to the mainland. Alejado should have a pretty big game and The Tokyo Toe is going for the perfect season. He’s 33-33 on XP’s and 23-23 on FG’s. I think this is probably the bent season any kicker has ever had. His poise and accuracy is unreal for someone that just started kicking an American football six years ago.
  21. Can we borrow Arch for the 4th quarter?
  22. Both of those schools would lose by four TD's to Texas.
  23. Tech's got a really good defense. The offense, to me, is not as good as their numbers overall. Their defense is what will win them a game in the playoffs. They've earned their spot for sure.
  24. They've had several plays like that today where they didn't finish it. Sims is just throwing it up for grabs because it's honestly the only throw he can consistently connect on.
  25. Sims is fun. A QB with no accuracy that does things like that. At least it's like a punt and our defense has played pretty well. A turnover here would be nice.
