One thing that's been bugging me a little bit, in Empire Strikes Back, there's the iconic scene where Luke is flying away from Dagobah and Obi-wan says that Luke is their last hope. Yoda replies, "No, there is another", implying Leia. I've only ever seen the prequels once, but doesn't Obi-wan know that Leia is Luke's sister? Is that just a mistake in the script? Anyway I've been thinking way too much about SW lately since we started showing it to our kids. In retrospect, it's absolutely insane how badly Disney fumbled the sequel trilogy. This is the studio that had like a 30-movie plan for Marvel that made 75 trillion dollars, and they couldn't execute a 3-movie arc in a universe this rich? It's basically the same plot as the original trilogy. Oppressive authoritarian government led by bad guy dressed in all black fights against plucky rebels. Except this time they couldn't even keep the tone and direction straight for 3 consecutive movies. Every fucking screenwriter and director in Hollywood is probably a huge Star Wars nerd. Put out a call to submit a 3-page story arc for 3 movies and they would've gotten 20 more interesting and coherent ideas. For fucks' sake. I realize I'm not treading any new ground, here.

Man, you kinda feel like a game that Corbin starts and you give up 2 runs should be a freebie.

Yeah my concern is that machete order is good for nerds and adults but my kids would be confused by the skipping around. I went back and read the entire original blog post and he pretty clearly has adults in mind. I think we can all agree that watching them in numerical order would be fucking preposterous.

Machete order the way to go for showing SW to kids the first time? We've watched IV and V, wondering where to go next.

You left off Muhammad, who is probably gone barring injury. Also Endries, the new TE, has another year but could go with a big year. You listed Spence twice. I think Kanu belongs in your second list. You also left off a bunch of Sophs that redshirted: Shannon, Randle, Stroh, Chatman, Cojoe, Lavon Johnson, Roberson, and Derek Williams. In practice I don't see any of those guys getting drafted. Maaaaaaaaybe Williams if he ends up playing a bunch and well. The new kicker and punter could conceivably get drafted. Two kickers and one punter were drafted this year. I'll say 10: Hutson, Campbell, Burke, Brevard, Moore, Guilbeau, Taaffe, Moore Jr., Muhammad, and Hill. The rest of the juniors, Arch, and Goosby stick around. Shaw redshirts to get fully healthy. No UDFAs (except the P and K).

I’m not sure what the answer is. The NFL seems to have figured it out. The flip side is that right now we have Houston, Dallas, and Austin playing games in July and August. I just looked it up and the Norwegian and Swedish leagues play a summer schedule. Russia does fall-spring but with a long winter break. Maybe that’s the way to go.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization
tokamak replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I just skimmed through the top 50 guys in receiving yards from last season. That's everyone with 884 yards or more. These are the only ones that make any sense at all as a potential target (i.e., didn't just get drafted/UDFA and didn't already transfer to a big time program this cycle): Jordyn Tyson, Arizona St - This one would be fucking insane. He's getting talked about as a 1st round draft pick for 2026. Originally from Allen, so there's a connection to the state. Has only been in college 3 years (and already transferred once), so is it possible for him to have already graduated? That seems kinda doubtful. Corey Rucker, Arkansas St - Strange career so far. Did well at Arkansas St for two years, transferred to South Carolina for 2022, did nothing (think he was hurt), transferred back to Arkansas St and tore it up the past two years. Has previously announced that he was skipping the draft and returning to Ark St. Definitely could be a graduate - he's already played 5 years (redshirt + COVID). Ted Hurst, Georgia State - Actually was in the portal (not a grad transfer?), but there was a report that he pulled out of the portal just yesterday. Was getting interest from big time programs (including aggy), per Google. Something doesn't seem right, here. Junior Vandeross III, Toledo - Productive for Toledo the last two years, but a 3-year guy like Tyson. Seems pretty unlikely to have already graduated. Elijah Sarratt, Indiana - Tore it up at FCS St. Francis, then James Madison, then Indiana in 3 successive years. Looking for a 4th program in 4 years? Antonio Williams, Clemson - 4th year guy out of Clemson, already speculated on in this thread. Trent Walker, Oregon State - Former walk-on at OSU that blew up in 2024. Doesn't really seem to fit the profile very well. Giles Jackson, Washington - I'm about 98% sure that this guy is out of eligibility and declared for the draft, but I can't find any record of him signing as an UDFA at the moment Of course, there are helluva lot of really promising WR that had <884 yards last year, so this is kinda a pointless exercise. -

They need to do Monday night games or Thursday night or something. I’m busy on the weekends.

I wouldn’t call any of them a superstar, but 3 of those guys have Pro Bowl appearances. That’s “decent”. -
Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again
tokamak replied to Patrick Bateman's topic in Football
So the consensus so far is that the draft hasn’t been a disaster. But I’m really wondering what the Cowboys’ plan to win games is with exactly one offensive skill position player worth a shit.
