  1. I'm going to withhold judgment until it can be confirmed that there were not any drag shows simultaneously taking place in the locker room while the photos of pubescent boys in various states of undress were being taken. And were those photos being taken by the deviant drag queens? Perhaps coach was confiscating them so they couldn't be distributed among the drag community. I mean, that would really explain a lot. Conservative white christian men in positions of authority just don't commit deviant sex crimes like this.
  2. That's not particularly encouraging...
  3. How else is a school like Indiana going to lock in the best coach they've ever had, leading their team to the best seasons they've ever had? You gotta go big or you're gonna lose the guy to a rival school, and then he'll beat the shit out of you for years. They've literally never been this good (for as long as any college football fan has been alive). Seems like he would have to go 1-11 every year for like three years straight for them regret it, and they still might not. Besides, it's not Indiana that has to make these decisions. It's Mark Cuban.
  4. Exactly this. Fucking phony.
  5. Why would you enter the HC market competing against Penn State, and potentially Florida, Auburn, North Carolina, Florida State and/or Wisconsin? And who are you wanting to hire? I don't see a single sure-fire HC hire, outside of Cignetti, whose already in his mid-60s. Also, UM will take a big PR hit firing a black head coach after only two years. I definitely don't see Michigan making a move this year, and think he'd have to have a pretty disastrous 2026 to get fired next year. Shit's gotta be Charlie Strong level-bad to get fired after three years. That being said, most HCs are hired because the last guy sucked ass, so there's an understanding that it takes time to build a program. That's not the case with Moore, so they may have a little more flexibility to dump him after year three if they continue to regress.
  6. I never got my wisdom teeth taken out. One came in fully, but it didn't fuck up my other teeth, and they never hurt, so I never took them out. Every dentist I've ever been to tells me that I urgently need to get them removed (and they just so happen to know a guy who will give me a great deal) as soon as possible. I tell them I've been told that for 30 years now and the speech is beginning to lost its impact.
  7. I was just joking. Kind of. That order might draw a side-eye, but it's not as controversial as putting ketchup on a hot dog. I just don't know why you'd turn a beef into a chicken parm sandwich.
  8. I think it's good/not great. But it's still entertaining. This. HBO should just let this guy keep making new cops and robbers mini series. And I expect the third installment to be not as good as this one. That's how it goes. I don't think there is enough meat left on these bones to sustain a second season. Robbie's dead. Maeve is gonna have to lay low and lauder some money. Lizzie's dead. Grasso's going down. Are we gonna spend a whole season with Mark Ruffalo's depressing-ass family? He gets assigned a new case with a new task force that includes Aleah, the no-nonsense crack-shot one-dimensional token black female character, and a retired Martha Plimpton? And a new mole? Yeah. No thanks.
  9. This is a killer fucking record. I encourage you to give the whole album a spin:
  10. I went to Levitation this year and caught TV on the Radio's set. I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but I appreciate and respect what they do. But this is a perfect song:
  11. Big news. I think we all have to ask ourselves, how does removing the "+" align the apple brand with your own identity as a consumer? It's a lot to consider. Take your time before replying with a response.
  12. Unpopular opinion? You can't judge her acting bona fides based on a one-dimensional stereotypical role that wasn't fully-developed and only served to complicate the decisions made by the protagonist. It was a shit role that couldn't have been salvaged by Meryl Streep. In what other films do you think her performance is over-rated? Let's look at a more complicated multi-dimensional character for which she received positive reviews, but you think she sucked. It would be helpful for you to provide opinions on why the acclaim she receives from her contemporaries is unfounded. Or, are you just shitting on her entire career based on a limiting performance in a movie about dudes, for dudes.
  13. I don't see how you watch Cignetti and Indiana do what they did last year, get two wins against top-10 teams this year (including against #3 Oregon on the road this last weekend), and think "nah, we'll go with the guy who has lost 17 in a row to top-25 teams. Not top-10. Top 25."
  14. Penn State wanting to get those Cignetti negotiations started ASAP
  15. So we were home team yesterday. I haven’t read a single article about recruits that were at the game, reactions, etc. In fact, there have been almost zero news/articles/reactions coming out of any of the home games this year. Were there no visitors at any of our recent home games? Seems strange.
  16. I fucking hope they don’t!
  17. That was ten yards short
  18. Why do we keep going backwards?
  19. This team will be lucky to win 6 games with this OL
  20. "easy to get to the airport" and "affordable" are the wild cards here. If you're cool taking the train to the airport, get a hotel near the orange line, which runs through the loop downtown. It goes right to Midway, and then it's about a quarter mile walk from the train to security. If you're gonna take a taxi or a ride share, it doesn't matter where you stay (from a convenience perspective), but just know the neighborhoods get rougher as you go further south and west. As far as the neighborhoods to stay at look into river north, the loop, magnificent mile, west loop, streeterville, or a little further out would be old town and gold coast. You could do south loop too, but I wouldn't go south or west of south loop/west loop. Anything north or west of that you're into neighborhoods, which could also check most of your boxes, but obviously not gonna have easy access to the downtown shit.
  21. Haven't been to a Portillo's outside of Chicago, but the ones up there make a serviceable italian beef, better than average hot dog, and had a damn good burger. My co workers raved about their chopped salad and their chocolate cake. I was gonna hit it up next time I'm in Dallas to see how it checked out. I don't eat at steak houses so I can't speak to Beck's Prime.
  22. Betty Gilpin has huge tits.
