Tom Herman and co. are masters of getting the later official visit. It's almost like Carrington is an agent of espionage.

The first season was a trip, better than any of the netflix marvel shows
One of the more inventive seasons of a modern show I've seen, along with Westworld S1, The Leftovers S3 and The Good Place S1. Total mind trip and an earnest exploration of mental illness.

Really looking forward to this one. The first season was an absolute feast for the eyes and had a strikingly original narrative structure. Also had one of my favorite guest starring roles in recent memory and the best music sequence this side of The Americans. It's unlike any show on TV right now. Here's the Season 2 trailer (major spoilers):

"Last season, the group was at its best on running plays involving movement such as counters; this spring, they’re being asked to displace people more often and hold blocks longer in pass protection."
We know how this ends: spread offense previously relying heavily on counter run plays switches to under-center pro-style run game without the needed personnel.

Just watched toilet smurf recruiting chat.
He said Gbenda is going to commit to Texas. He also pointed out that Texas has the upper hand to win the the state in recruiting this cycle.

One of my favorite scenes in the entire run was S4’s lunch between Bodie and McNulty. Great microcosm for the show’s excellent nuance between cops and criminals.

Torn between Hagar and Colin as my first draft pick
I’m taking Hager or Danny Young with my first pick, in the absence of He Who Hateth Thou QBs and RBs.

Mensa picking up steam right on schedule:

One of the most quotable post-2000 movies. Unbelievable it's 54% on RT.
-
For reference: how does Herman compare to Strong in terms of getting elite talent to visit? It seems like Mensa is on another level, but maybe I just follow recruiting closer under Herman?

I hear Daniel Figurelli, the racist one-time PwC intern who likes to tweet at high school football recruits, puts peas in his guacamole.

Part of the mystique of Shaggy was the anger involved from the shitty play of the football team. Let's not ever lose that.
Last really great movie?

Counter points:
1) 2007 was a superb year for "great" movies, with Zodiac not even getting a Best Picture nomination, and I consider three movies that year to be bonafide modern classics: Zodiac, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood. I could write a think or three on the brilliance of No Country/Coen's/Cormac's vision of the "death of the West", as captured so achingly beautifully by Tommy Lee's closing monologue. Best Picture is subjective, just like everything else when it comes to taste. Remember, Paul Haggis has a Best Picture statue for fucking Crash.
2) Children of Men is about as good of a modern sci-fi movie you can ask for, with some of the best technical cinematography this century. It's a terrific film, strong on narrative, cinematography, acting, errthing. It's great.
3) In the last five years, I'd feel comfortable calling these films "great": Arrival, La La Land, Moonlight, Inside Out, Spotlight, Boyhood
4) Since 2000, great movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Mulholland Dr., City of God, The Lives of Others, Sideways, Lost In Translation, Spirited Away, Memento,
5) There are some sneaky-good films out there I'd hesitate to define as great but are damn good and signal a future for great filmmaking: Whiplash, Her, The Nice Guys, The Florida Project, Hell or High Water, Wind River
tl;dr: movies are still pretty damn good
