  1. Speak No Evil from this year is a movie I will remember for many years to come. Depraved. The Empty Man from 2020 was incredible.
  2. Tokyo is the absolute best if you love eating, drinking and seeing wild shit. Wife and I were in Japan 15 days a few years ago. Planned to do 6 days in Tokyo, 7 in Kansai using Kyoto as a base (Nara and Osaka day trips), and 2 in Hakone at an Onson. Unless you are REALLY interested in Japanese history/temples and similar touristy sites, Kyoto is a snooze after a few days. We left a few days early and went back to Tokyo. I had a friend in Tokyo give me a bunch of restaurant recs, will see if I can dig them up.
  3. Top 200 players are not created equally. We have been recruiting higher quality players on the offensive side of the ball, without question. See below. The elite offensive talent has also been spread across every position, with Ewers, Baxter, Sanders, Worthy, Banks and Campbell (among others) addressing every position. The same can’t be said on defense. In particularly, we have absolutely nothing elite waiting in the wings at linebacker unless a player significantly out performs their ranking.
  4. Iowa St’s win over Iowa is probably the best non-con win.
  5. I think my biggest defense-related concern actually pertains to next year and the year after. We just haven't recruited (out of high school or the portal) the same level of player on defense as we have on offense. From the 21-22 recruiting classes (inclusive of underclassman transfers like Ewers), we have 7 offensive players ranked .97 or better on the composite coming out of high school. Only 4 on defense. Among those recruits, the offensive average is .9831, whereas the defensive average is .9557. If you extend that out to 2023 (as of now), the gap widens to 11 vs. 6. It's particularly glaring at off-ball linebacker, where we don't have a single 21-23 recruit in the .90s. DT isn't quite as bad but still not great. Whether PK is the right coach or not (seems like not), we will absolutely need to either hit on lower ranked prospects or use the portal for a talent infusion at those positions.
  6. I’m battered from the last decade. As much as I like him, I don’t trust Sark at all. Blown leads and 3rd down defense are recurring nightmares. I’ll be content with 3-2, a bowl win and a top 5 class with Arch and Baxter. Ecstatic with 4-1 or 5-0. Apoplectic with 2-3 or worse. Such is the life of a college football fan.
  7. Absolutely fantastic day in CFB.
  8. Awful roughing the passer call, awful missed PI call
  9. That is a brutal stat. At OSU, at KSU and at KU all coming up.
  10. Just watched SMILE. Overall worth the price of admission if you like horror flicks. The movie is shameless in a good way IMO. I can’t imagine seeing this if jump scares/jump sounds are an issue for you.
  11. I’ll admit that when Hutson got bulldozed on the first drive yesterday, battered fan syndrome kicked in hard. Just a speed bump on a great day.
  12. And we get Billingsly back this week. Just one more weapon.
  13. This is pornography. Mother of god
  14. Holy smokes that drive was a thing of beauty
  15. 08 Mizzou for me. I feel like it was pretty loud when Ossai picked Burrow in the first quarter of the LSU game in 2019.
  16. What are the qualifications for legacy?
  17. Maybe missing something, but I’m Burnt Ends and still get the below
  18. Not an employment lawyer, but more than once a client on the business side has asked me for a stupid fucking provision with no enforceability whatsoever just because seeing it in writing makes them feel better. I guess there is some theory that including that provision might give you more of a hook for a fraud claim by helping to establish reliance, but that doesn't seem real world in my view.
  19. I bet it’s similar to the Venn diagram of online fan boys rushing to the defense of Joe Rogan and Elon Musk.
  20. Apparently child king has submitted settlement to the court under seal to proceed on the original terms. Coincidently, he was scheduled to be deposed as soon as the end of this week. Edit to add link:
  21. A glimmer of truth. The reality is we’ve just played the two worst teams in the Big 12, and don’t have an easy game left on our schedule. OSU/KSU back to back on the road is tough.
  22. The weather is truly elite today.
