I never said Aranda would make a lateral move. I said Baylor is a stepping stone, meaning there are bigger/better jobs to move on to. Couple more good seasons and Aranda is moving on.
This is what it really boils down to. The script was written and shooting started before covid happened. I think had covid not happened, the comedy in the movie would have come off more nuanced in a "no way would people be that fucking dumb" kinda way. I think it's hard to see it that way now since covid has borne out that almost half of our nation are fucking idiots and now the bits in the movie feel like a sledgehammer. I don't think it really matters though because the people that are getting made fun of either won't watch it or will just dismiss it as 'leftist Hollywood propaganda'.
stupid sip, that's the aggy turdition called the milk lean. Back when the fightin aggys were off fighting Hitler in the 40's, it left a shortage of farmers. Used to be one farmer would jerk off the horses and another would finger the sheep. Dem smart aggys figured out if you stick ur milkin' stool between them, an aggy can do both at the same time as long as you get ur lean right. Whoop!
