Last really great movie?
The movie, as well as Cormac's source novel, inverts all of the Western tropes (bad guy gets his, good guy gets girl, rides off into sunset, etc). The third act is just one inversion after another: bad guy gets away, wife gets killed, hero leaves wife out of greed, sheriff figure doesn't catch bad guy.

Here's what you have to remember: even a 6-6 record, with losses to arky Chad (they're due) and one of the SC/MissSt, will have terrible optics after Sumlin consistently eeked out 8 win seasons. Couple that with an 8-9 win season in Austin, and the early signing period should be fun.

Projected Starting Lineup
Can't understate how important it is for Herman to be 2-0 heading into USC rolling into DKR. Should be a huge opportunity for the national perception of Herman and Texas.

Definitely look into the online offerings like Tuft & Needle, Casper, etc. We have a Tuft & Needle in our guest room and friends love it. Ironclad return policy.- Coming to grips with college football’s declining attendance
Game-day atmosphere won't change overnight to be more fan/tradition-friendly, but I have faith in Del Conte to really act on fan feedback to improve the experience.- Projected Starting Lineup
Adding another DB in the Dime/Lightning packages would include... Josh Thompson? Seems like he's ready to ball out this year. Ready for Overshown to be that lightning package tweener in a year or so.- Projected Starting Lineup
QB: Ehlinger RB: Young, with Carter splitting carries OL: Anderson, Vahe, Shack, Rodriquez, Kerstetter *shrugs* WR: Johnson, LJH, Duvernay TE: Brewer (if healthy) DL: Hager, Nelson, Charles O (+Graham) LB: Roach, Hater of QBs/RBs, McCulloch DB: Davis, Boyd, Locke, Bonney, Jones Those DB youngins will see plenty of playing time as the season progresses, especially Caden Sterns- Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's

Just have that feeling we hear about a secret Richardson visit the Sunday after it happens this fall after the season starts gaining clarity. I like our chances with Naviar.- Texas recruiting notes 2019

Night and day from previous tenures. Herman is exploiting every advantage UT and Austin provide. It's really something to behold. Now go win.- Running up the score

We say it every damn year, but this year is *especially* critical to win 9+ and be in conference contention. With Riley at OU, Jimbo at aggy, a flailing O at LSU, a weak Big12 relative to last season, a huge DKR showcase against USC, and a intense focus on Year 2 of Herman's tenure, this year on the field could be the impetus to building a true playoff contender for the next decade. hyperbole.gif- Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's

Good stuff, ctj, per usual. Thanks for taking the time, yada yada, etc.- Texas recruiting notes 2019

It's why it's hard to quantify "great" films since 2000 in the vein of big 90s period pieces like Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan or Shawshank, when so many are intentionally smaller in scope character pieces. Movies I thought were tremendous but smaller in scope like The Florida Project, Wind River, Take Shelter, Frances Ha, Y Tu Mama Tambien. Intense character study films have had a great post-2000s run.- Texas recruiting notes 2019
Jimbo salary eating into the graphics dept budget. No, but really...- 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- Texas recruiting notes 2019
- Legion, season 2 (FX)
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.- Legion, season 2 (FX)
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):- Jimbo 2019: The Only Tail Getting Busted is Candi's
