  1. True but in 2013, kids were on their iPhones, posting on instagram and Twitter and facebook. Same as 2023.
  2. Hard to disagree that a lot of issues in 2013 have gotten worse in 10 years. Just doesn't seem all that different to me. But again, I started that post acknowledging that I'm probably old man yelling at clouds. Could probably take this thread down into the gutter talking about how today's kids have such mental health issues.
  3. Not really. Seems like pretty similar high school experiences to me. Music seems the same. Video games seem the same. Kids just on their smart phones posting on social media the same.
  4. I'm probably old man yelling at clouds here, but there was a world of cultural difference between 1975 and 1985. And just as much 1985 to 1995. I don't see a fucking thing different between 2013 and 2023.....
  5. I'm not going argue the specifics of whether it was criminal or not, but IMO, if they remade that movie today, the likeable leading actor isn't having sex with a high school girl.
  6. Revenge of the Nerds passes the test because Booger was out combing the high schools all day looking for a date. But seriously, it - along with Animal House and Old School - was just part of a side cenversation about rapey movies not aging well, like some scenes in these HS movies.
  7. You wondering why a college movie isn't anyone's favorite high school movie?
  8. Speaking of rapey movies.... Two movies that (in my head) are recent but really aren't - Varsity Blues and Old School - have scenes that certainly wouldn't be included today. Tweeder's quote above. Mitch from Old School hooking up with a high school girl.
  9. Probably just easier to pick the best for each decade or even every 5 years period. I'm late Gen X (1977) and while I love The Breakfast Club, I was in 3rd grade when it came out and don't relate to it at all. American Pie, I absolutely related to. Came out when I was a senior in college and very much felt like my HS era just 4 years prior.
  10. Honestly, college coaches deserve more. They are the coach, the GM, have to kiss boosters' asses, have to kiss players' asses, have to kiss players' parents' asses, have to keep kids in class/eligible and now they have to recruit their entire roster every single year. 365 days a year they do this. NFL coaches just coach and weigh in on personnel decisions. That's it.
  11. I originally thought Norvell was out with his tweet yesterday about the future at FSU. But apparently that was about a recruit, so he's probably still very much in play.
  12. Stewart Mandel kept pumping this as a must read article, so I read it. What a nothingburger. Dumb anyway that on air personalities wouldn't receive an Emmy as part of the team if the show won. If they faked one to give it to an inspirational guy in the mail room, this would be a feel good story.
  13. Lanning out. Sark out. Kiffin probably not in the picture. Dabo lost his luster. If they don't get Norvell or Deboer, there's a big dropoff in name recognition.
  14. Possibly. But if you follow anything that goes on in that city, it’s more believable that they 1) are just really shitty about doing their job and 2) don’t give a fuck about doing their job, than it is to believe they are involved in a big coverup. Like discussed in the original thread, this guy was on PCP and meth and crossing an interstate at night. It’s not surprising that he got hit. He clearly wasn’t unidentified. They knew who he was and where he was buried. They just didn’t bother making an effort to let the family know.
  15. The accusations to date are that they just didn't put out any effort to find out who these people were, contact the relatives, bury them with any dignity, etc. That's dropping the ball to me.
  16. I heard when @Homercles needs a new set of tires, he just rents a car from Avis, trades out the tires with his and returns the rental.
