  1. Ewers' 7v7 portion was sickening
  2. Perhaps, but there's not a lot in his premise that I take issue with. Getting Coburn replaced is something I've wanted for years. A defense with DTD, if reports are to be believed that he is legit, instead of Luke Brock is already miles better. Cherry on top being a secondary without BJ Foster and how can you not improve at least 10 spots in the national defensive rankings?
  3. Maybe it is a tough call to replace Majors, but he was nowhere near good enough to not seriously consider a replacement any time fresh talent arrives
  4. Is it just me or has Whittington never actually surpassed 5 games in a season? I would bet he lasts longer this season, but 10 seems like unfounded optimism
  5. Can't wait to see how this team looks with proper wingers. Corozo and Rigoni will help make us a consistent force in the attack
  6. At this point it's no fucking secret ATM is despised in their conference and beyond. Any of them taking this for a conspiracy are simply falling prey to the most aggy attitude of all, complete lack of self awareness. I'm hoping their rough start to this cycle creates an impulse to double down on ridiculous promises in an attempt to catch up. The grave is never deep enough
  7. On the money. An edgy teen would rather cease to exist than even imagine rampaging with a vintage, wooden semi auto. Even a Uvalde PD larper might have charged in if he knew he was facing an M1 and not an AR15
  8. Major missed opportunity here with Battinson
  9. China has J-20s and is a nuclear power, ditto for Russia, so the impetus for attacking at all is a non starter if they're supposed to be either of these nations. It's modelled more after Iran or Lybia, client states of the major military industrial powers, buying stuff like jets and SAMs
  10. "Rogue State" is as far as they went. Only thing Russian about them were the Su-57s, but then again they also had F-14s. Iran would very loosely fit the bill
  11. Thanks for that, forgot how good The Right Stuff was, last saw it when I was 7 I think, I should watch it again. Homage or not, this scene is bang on from a technical sense, complete apples to oranges to what the Top Gun hypersonic test scene went
  12. F-35C was the one in the opening scene. The Death Star trench run design of the big challenge ruined it all for me. You can still make a movie about old school pilotage and teamwork yada yada with some close in dogfighting and ground striking without crafting a scenario where the use of manned conventional (non stealth) aircraft is the WORST approach and least likely to succeed. The cruise missiles, particularly tomahawks, would themselves fly roughly the same speed as the Hornets and would be subject to the same anti aircraft dangers as the rest of the flyers. If it's going to be CGI anyway, make them JASSMs at least. And use some Growlers and show that side of the engagement, detection, jamming, it can still be a movie! You CAN adapt to the times just a little bit, it will still be fun Old Top Gun and new Top Gun alike many times made ejection a central theme and made it clear it's a dangerous thing in its own right, except we just started the movie with a Mach 10 RUD at 200k feet agl and cut to Mav walking into a diner asking for some water. Same with the G forces, it's relevant only after Maverick and Rooster do a death spiral 90 degrees to the ground. Typical movie stuff, but having just a modicum of respect for the subject matter would go a long way. Agreed on Hondo, he went from black project testing leader or what have you, to useless but loveable and chubby sidekick status in an instant. The maneuver of choice time and time again to gain the upper hand in their crafted dogfights is the cobra, renowned the world over as an airshow gimmick, and utterly useless in combat. Not to mention the Hornet and especially Tomcat can't do it, but yes, here it works vs an opponent with thrust vectoring. There's other ways to do this that doesn't result in nonsense. I guess I'm in the minority but the technical side of this movie struck well below average even for Hollywood action, and that's saying something
  13. He had a bad tipped ball off his hands for an int even before the scrimmage, hardly any pressure, he's not a D1 receiver imo
  14. Why the fuck are you arguing this point? Negative recruiting hits on all the broken shit
  15. Because there's dozens of schools that could entice him with an RB1 spot, and he's solidly 5th here
  16. Warren, Liebrock, Garth, J Davis, Hookfin, Abiara, Jordon Thomas, Broughton, Dorbah, Richardson, Hullaby, Blue, Harrison, Coffey, Omeire, Ibraheem, Guilbeau, Dixon, Washington, Alexis, Collins, Richardson, one out of Card/Murphy/Ewers 20 could be easy to reach
