    s2 sucked, but i loved s1. they need to get back to the storyline and flush all of the other disconnected bullshit from s2.

    Glad it wasn't just me.  I stopped watching about 3 episodes in, and I rarely pull the plug on a series.

  2. Just finished ep 4.  I'm a little confused by something from the wedding.  Two DEA agents were following the guy with the lamp, he went in, and... nothing.  Who was he and why was his character a big deal? I assumed he was an assasin or something but nothing ended up happening.

    Are you currently drunk? That shit was 3 months ago.

    I actually have been drinking.  My point is that i only like 11am games IF we win, otherwise football is dead to me for 7 more days.  When we play at night, I can watch all the games with relish and then watch our own, win or lose, at the end of the day.

    Obviously, this shouldn't be an issue Fri; however. The folliwing week will be a tad more relevant.

    Forgot Butch Jones too......

    https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tennessee-football/report-butch-jones-among-coaches-being-considered-by-purdue-as-potential-jeff-brohm-replacement/

    "Alas, should Brohm decide Louisville is where he ultimately wants to make his mark, Purdue will be prepared to execute a search in short order. Sources tell FootballScoop that Purdue officials have their list and will move immediately into interviews should Brohm decide to leave.

    For as big of a joke as Jones became in 2017, he is a talented recruiter and had some solid teams at Tennessee.

    The pressure in West Lafayette isn’t the same as in Knoxville, either, so it’d be interesting to see how Jones fared at a school with a profile closer to Central Michigan and Cincinnati teams that he had success with.

    Among the coaches we hear have been discussed at the highest levels in West Lafayette are: Neal Brown, Butch Jones, Skip Holtz, Tony Elliott, Matt Canada and Mike Norvell. "

    Wow.  Butch Jones?  I forgot that he's got strong Midwest ties.  That being said, it must be nice to fail out of a situation, spend a year at a pseudo-NFL program, then get to jump back in to a head coaching gig at a major university.

  5. I love being back home (Rowlett), but I am so depressed about cycling.  I left an area where I could ride without any cars, hills, mountains, scenery, etc.. and am now in just about the worst place outside of NYC to ride.  I hate flat roads.  I hate traffic.  I suppose I could drive somewhere east of Rowlett and find some roads, but I've been too stubborn to find a new route.  I've biked White Rock Lake; however, the trail is too narrow and bumpy to properly road bike.  I did buy a mountain bike and have biked the trails in Garland; however, I've just always preferred road.  When I was in Austin Sat for the game, I gazed longingly out west thinking about all the routes y'all in Austin can ride. /whining over

  6. Italy completed 697 out of 775 passes.

    The US completed 193 our of 271.

    And a case could be made that Italy's team has underachieved for years AND may have fielded a younger team today.

     

  7. So we can wait over a year to hire a coach, but not wait - however long it takes to interview someone - to ensure we've got the best coach?  I guess this is what happens when you run a monopoly and nobody has the power to demand any kind of standard.  Hell, IIRC, US Soccer barely got rid of Arena after the disaster in T&T.

  8. What's going to be annoying (more so than the normal stuff) is that they're going to probably have a bunch of flashbacks for God knows how long.  They've got about 10 plots to hash out - Darryl by himself, the "X" marks, why dumbass Maggie took off, etc... They'll also prob need to show/explain the back stories of the new arrivals as well.  Like Lost, I watch because I feel obligated, but geez.  

  9. Absolutely horrible.  There are so many things wrong with this team.  I'm not sure any coach worth a shit is going to want to take over this dumpster fire.

    I'm tired of watching Bobby Wood, with his head down, dribbling straight into 3 or 4 defenders and losing the ball every fucking time.

    I'm tired of watching a team completely incapable of connecting on even the simplest of passes.

    I'm tired of watching the defenders just chunk the ball down the field every time.

    And I'm really tired of our piece of shit soccer confederation dicking around.  I thought we were waiting for Columbus to lose so we could get their coach???  

    You cannot just bring in random players and put them in random positions with random formations and expect anything positive.  We need a system and we've somehow now gone, what, an entire year without a coach.

    And holy shit, Grant Wahl just said that some coach from Spain expressed interest in the US job but was told the process was too far along for him to be considered.  What in the actual fuck?!?!?

    Jwoww is clearly single by the way she looks.  She has all her business on display.  It is making the episodes better.  I only caught part of the friendsgiving thing, but she was on fire.

     

    And am I the only one that is super fucking annoyed with Mike making every word 

    "Hi honies. You enjoying your Thanksgivings?"

  11. Quote

    I thought "Africa" went over well at the WVU game.  Even the 11 year old in front of me knew the words (good parenting, I assume).

    If you're speaking of the Toto song, there's a current remake that the 11 year-old is probably singing.  I know because my 6 year-old knows all the words as well.

    The remake is by Weezer, btw.
