  1. I labored through the first episode- all mood, no movement. I'm not opposed to watching more, but I'll let others be the canary.
  2. I love the album. They did have one hit from it ("I Met a Girl"), but the whole record it full of great songs. My favorite song from the album:
  3. Let's tap the brakes here. It's a very young team and they're going to lose games- maybe even as many as they win. There's no doubt that he has them going in the right direction though. I couldn't deal with his schtick every day, but one of the cool things he has going is that, because he is so unabashedly transparent about who is, he doesn't have to waste time with recruits who aren't quite sure if he and his "culture" are for them. You love him or you hate him. You are drawn by it or repulsed by it. No in between. That allows him to fill his draft classes very quickly.
  4. I love scholarship announcements and Fleck does them better than anyone. We should have a dedicated thread for these but we don't, so here: In case you didn't catch it, this is Freshman Walk-on starter at QB giving the news to his Walk-on older brother.
  5. Jimmy G looks better than the result. He's without his best receiver, doesn't know what he has in RBs, and is playing what is arguably the best D in the league, in what is arguably the hardest visiting stadium in the league.
  6. By the way, same guy who did this last week.
  7. Fresno has the ball, 1st and goal with 1 minute and 22 seconds left with a chance to tie it with a TD and PAT. Then this happens
  8. I'm not a gamer so I've never played the games and never will. Are the books actually worth reading on their own? I do like the fantasy genre.
  9. I thought it was more like the ghost written ones- at least Greaney's, which are pretty good. To that end, I'm wondering why they didn't just make the show for Jack Ryan Jr. instead of Sr. The timeline would be correct, as would the fact that Jr. is a financial guy who morphs into a field operative. He also answers to Clark- who is a lot more like the TV show's Greer than the books' Greer. The other characters of "The Campus" could have been written in seamlessly too. As for the show, I liked it enough to have finished it quickly but only, I think, because I mentally dissociated it with the Clancy universe after a few episodes. I knew when they set it current day that it wasn't going to be super true to the books but I guess I was hoping for something closer to what Amazon did with Michael Connelly's Bosch series, where plenty of concessions are made but the core personalities and story-lines are true to the novels and woven together nicely.
  10. Minnesota starting 5 true freshmen, I believe. A lot of nerves early but they're quickly realizing that they're playing New Mexico State.
  11. I'm watching. Antoine Winfield with a ridiculous punt return.
  12. You should see it when the Badgers come to town. It's like Camp Randall West.
  13. Thanks for the link. I'll do this for sure- do food shelves take frozen food? I'm not surprised. People around here are optimistic but few are going to shell out real money to watch this team against shitty non conference opponents.
  14. Thanks for the responses. Used to go to Tip Top a fair amount in high school so that could be fun to revisit. 2M looks good, I just don't know if we'll find ourselves over that way unless we make a special trip. Believe it or not, I can actually get pretty damn good interior Mex here in the Twin Cities. What I can't get is queso flameado, or cheese enchiladas w/ chili con carne. That's really what I'm craving above all else. What about the Pearl District? Is that worth a few hours and a meal?
  15. And there it is. The first Baker Mayfield drop.
  16. Just turned on the 3:00 show on the local sports radio station. I put the over under at 15 Minutes
  17. Three star from Florida (IMG Academy). He's a walk-on, but did have offers from some power 5 schools. They're were going to struggle with or without him, but it's not quite as bad as it sounds.
