  1. Iowa has now played 11 quarters against ranked teams this year and has scored zero points.
  2. Are we still allowed to use ATM? I thought that one was pretty appropriate after the 2022 class.
  3. Unless his leaving Arizona so compromises their defense that they have a bad season and Fisch falls off the Florida short list.
  4. One potential reason for Nansen to turn us down - Jed Fisch is going to be on the short list for Florida if Napier crashes and burns as expected next season. Nansen could get a raise from Arizona and play the long game on the hopes of being an SEC DC in 2025.
  5. Most people on this board were predicting OSU to blow them out and they made it respectable. And I thought I made it clear that patting them on the head like a 5 year old who just hit the ball off the tee is a sign of just how fucked their program is. For the record, I give Michael Taaffe and Jett Bush props when they play well too.
  6. I think it’s very fair to praise an outmanned bunch of backups for their efforts on the field last night and yet still point and laugh at the state of the ATM program that resulted in an outmanned bunch of backups having to take the field last night. And it ain’t getting significantly better next year.
  7. Appreciate everyone’s memories on this thread from the start. I grew up in another territory and only read about the VE’s in the wrestling magazines at the time. Saw the movie and loved it. If you know all the details of the timeline and especially if you saw them all growing up, you’ll notice the discrepancies and omissions, but they didn't bother me and won’t for viewers who come in with no knowledge of the source material. It’s a lot to pack into 2:15 of run time and they needed to blend some events for narrative purposes if they want to broaden the appeal beyond smarks and GenX men who grew up in DFW. If it was done over an 8 or 10 episode limited series I’d be less understanding. My biggest quibble was probably JAW as Kerry, he’s a fine actor but physically and facially just didn’t look much like Kerry. I liked the Flair actor better than some here, it’s hard to be a one of a kind character like the Nature Boy but I thought his promo was pretty good. The writers perfectly captured him in the post-match scene in the dressing room where the VE’s are working through their emotional trauma and Flair just saunters in asking where the best place to start drinking is. The Harley Race and Fritz actors may have been the best true doppelgängers for their real-life counterparts. Overall it is on a very short list with The Wrestler as the best movie about pro wrestling ever made. It has a clear love for the subject material and never demonizes anyone for cheap heat. Even the Fritz character is nuanced when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to make him a caricature villain. I’d love to see what @michaelpshayes thought about the film.
  8. Hey man, this is the Trey Moore thread, not your Christmas livestream channel
  9. Would highly recommend watching this video if you have the time and want to get pumped about a guy (who, if you’re like me) you haven’t heard of before this week. Another son of a former NFL player, about 1% body fat, trains as a boxer (Scipio will go nuts when he sees that), great looking family, and did the work to graduate early. Looks like a perfect fit for culture and talent. I understand not everyone has the resources to put together a 10 minute, professionally produced profile story like this, but this kid could be an amazing pickup for us.
  10. Drama queen recruitment, drama queen career. Have fun in aggieland, kid.
  11. Rodney Garner (Tennessee DL coach) is at the stage of his career where he does not suffer fools or prima donnas.
  12. Does Bud understand that ATM’s 3 highest quality “commits” didn’t actually sign yesterday and are likely to go elsewhere?
  13. My God. Santucci is a beautiful dream compared to this jabroni.
  14. Putting aside the fun of flipping an ATM recruit, how serious should we be about going after Dealyn Evans? Does he live up to the rating he has with the recruiting services? Would he be a good culture fit?
  15. One man’s heroic struggle to reverse our country’s declining birth rate. God speed, Tyreek.
