There are some aspects of Dazed and Confused that are timeless regardless of your generation: High school coaches, driving around to find a gathering to get drunk/high, scheming to throw a party at your parents' house.
But it seemed like high schoolers stopped caring as much about cars somewhere in the late 70s or early 80s. And I don't think hazing freshman is a thing anymore, at least it wasn't when I was a freshman in 1988.
It's a different thread, but I think caring about cars carried on through all of Gen X.
Back on topic, while I loved Daze and Confused I had actually classes with M.M. so that's a massive break that makes it not a HS movie for me.
As a 90s tech worker in Texas, Office Space is real to me and I grew up with Beavis and Butthead.
I think I'd have to put Heather's and Breakfast Club as my generational teen movies.

I doubt the head coaches are banging co-eds. Besides Lane Kiffen.
Well, that's on them! Doesn't change the reality.

are you saying the strategy of driving to an abandoned dead-end street under an overpass was a mistake?
I'm not a LEO/former MP and last I checked I don't have corporate kill goons chasing me, but if I did, I don't think I'd decide to drive into a desolate dead end street under and overpass. But what do your wife and I know about it?!?

i liked the part where herc was driving with the kid, full speed through new york (?) for about 15 minutes without seeing another car or person or light on or anything. my wife was like "just drive to a police station" and i had nothing to counter that.
yeah, we're a couple episodes behind.
She's not wrong.

tOSU is literally trying to hire the dipshit A&M athletic director. It's a perfect fit. Dumbass redneck schools that have a hard-on for their superior big brothers. I never mentioned any other school for a reason.
End of discussion for me. Lord.
My bad you're correct aggy and OSU are exactly the same.

Crimony. I'm not suggesting we look down the ladder. I'm suggesting that tOSU envies Michigan the way A&M envies UT. It's fucking true. I was married to a Buckeye, I've been drowned in that culture and I'm gratefully out.
Stop looking for the perfect analog in-state. It wasn't my point. Not at all.
I don't dispute the Michigan- OSU relationship is a goodly amount big brother little brother.
More accurately it's OUsux - Texas : OSU - Michigan
You were reaching and say what you will about OSU there isn't a comparison to aggy. With them or anyone.
They're in a league of their own but the fuck ups at MSU are the only thing anywhere close.
Damn you're all huffy.

I always enjoyed the Reacher novels but let's face it- it's harlequin romances for men. Simple, formulaic escapist plot but for men.
A total badass, free as the wind with no mortgage or obligations, rolls into town, kicks the shit out of anyone that tries to stop him and always bangs one chick (and only one) per book, because they just can't keep their hands off him.
Absolutely true, and I'll openly own the guilty pleasure of these well written books. They're a fun read, intriguing and you know ultimately what going to happen.

Not talking about football, just talking about quality of education and little brother syndrome.
Not really accurate. This ain't me defending OSU, I promise. But Michigan has Sparty. You aware of wtf kind of stupidity has been going on there in the recent past? OSU has Ohio, Miami, it's their fredo as a friend that went to OSU used to say. So..

You clowns have been discussing the best head coaching job in the "new" Big XII and there has been zero mention of the co-ed population at Arizona State? ASU is the answer and it ain't close.
Good fucking God, this board has gone to the shitter.
I haz a cry.

Agreed. I used to have manage a group of young engineers (most were kind of weird and nerdy, gamer types). Very smart, kind kids. One day one overhears me talking to another guy about hunting, and we get to talking guns. Turns out, a bunch of them were big AR guys. They would tinker with them over and over, changing them up, etc. But the more I spoke with them, they didn't really even enjoy shooting. Not a single one hunted, no one shot clays, none of them grew up in families that had firearms or hunted. They just loved the mechanics of, in particular, the AR, and having something in the house made them feel safer. Was very eye opening, and they didn't have a clue when I was telling me about all the pre-64's I had been stacking away, or why I was trying to score this awesome old Superposed. They didn't have a clue those even existed. They were bored with the lack of moving parts in my bolt guns. A Ruger 1 would of mind melted them. An entire generation of kids that were in diapers when the AWB sunsetted.
I'm going to follow up with a curious and lesser know aspect of the gun culture. I'm a competitive shooter, IDPA and 3 gun type stuff as well as a person who's gone to multiple 3 days tactical training sessions.
The shooting/gun advocate cross section in both those worlds (which are pretty similar) is an amazing cross section. The female uptick in the past 15 years has been HUGE. Further, I'll see current LEOs (which used to be the rarest oddly) to tech guys in 911s, females from all walks of life, pretty much ever race profile, to florist, EMTs, doctors (a surprising number), dentist and your big truck guys and gals.
Most aren't big drinkers many don't at all, you have to be financially at least okay due to cost of gear, hotels and classes. All of them are extremely safety first oriented and most don't care about the skin color or sex of the person next to them.
As someone who also rides it reminds me of that "fraternity". Granted, there are some divisions in both of the Harley riders vs rice burner nuance, but that's rare. Mostly it's just a like minded group that advocates for gun rights, gun safety and good gun skills.
What's odd to me is I don't see many here or anywhere talk about the second amendment foundation which is and has been much more in line with my 2nd amendment pursuits/wants/concerns that the NRA has been for decades.

I made it throught the entire Time Travelling Godzilla, After School Special: Our father cheated (like my hypocrite sister) and was a bastard child himself with Mae the annoying and self serving criminal "hacker" who hates olds.
I absolutely hated how 3 grown ass 21+ adults had the lines and were treated like high school troubled youths. This show was a beating. Unless they kill off all 3 "good little children" in the first episode there is zero chance I'd watch another season.
Otherwise, it was fantastic.

I had no idea Saban picked Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees, and I had no idea Saban’s daughter was sued by her sorority sister for assault & battery. Tosh is annoying but he knows his football. I wish he was talking CFB instead of McAfee.
If I was forced to pick a single celebrity persona that best defined Surly folks... it would be Daniel Tosh.

Michigan was my #1 before even starting the vid. Eight-seven bazillion HS bands play it, and most play it halfway decently. ND just behind. There are no others, really, and fer sher not 23 more. Boomer and Texas Fight are more chants than songs. Yale should sue OU and the Minstrel Hall of Fame should sue us.
I have to agree, and while I'm a closet T-shirt Michigan fan I despise ND. Still, those really are the 2.

I'm in the "glad to see, well earned" mindset.
Sark has issues but he's far exceeded my expectations and I hope that continues.

I don’t know about you but that sounds like a place I want visit!
If I can go to the Twin Peaks bar with Dennis Hopper (Yes I know, this is direct by Lynch so shut up), I'd listen to the band play it's a small world.

I'm with the love or hate him, he's the GOAT, crowd.
I also agree that age, Bama car lot shenanigan parity via NIL and the extra work load it brings was the writing on the wall for Saban.

So let's take a look at all of those other schools that left conferences and the schools left behind talk about missing them....

Yeah, I don't think that's a thing, Scooter. But it made for a nice little zinger.
Wait...
I enjoy that NU went dumpster fire, but I do miss owning their shitty team. So there's that I guess.

Agreed, but that video hurts my mind in ways that makes me hate all of humanity and breaks me a bit. Permanently.
Thanks for sharing, asshole.
