  1. Just when we all overlooked and forgot how weird a place LSU is, they reminded us. Long live the Kingfish.
  2. My top 3, and I’ll try to rank them: 1) Rio Bravo. Great hang. Prime Angie Dickinson. Dean Martin sings. 2) The Searchers. Monument Valley landscapes in Vista Vision in 1956. Not sure how Armybrat’s head didn’t pop off his neck. Vera Miles was a piece. 3) The Man Who Liberty Valence. Jimmy Stewart at the end of his peak and John Wayne kind of the middle of his. Misdirection. Anti-heroes. Lee Marvin’s best days in his best years. Again Vera Miles. I’d give up drinking and red meat for her.
  3. Pretty great podcast about the great and enigmatic John Ford. A couple episodes focused on his masterpiece The Searchers and filming at Monument Valley. I already loved The Searchers, but this deepened my appreciation and warranted a rewatch
  4. Just ordered slices so far. They absolutely beat the doors off of Pinks. I’m can never go back. It’s so horrible for you I’ve resolved to only eat good pizza, and try to limit it to a slice unless it’s a special occasion.
  5. Castle is averaging 20 points a game and is an elite defender. He probably makes an all NBA defensive team this season. And oh yeah, he’s 6’6’’ so he can guard any position. You can’t be serious.
  6. Many in the thread wanted to spend the Capela money on another guard.
  7. Welp, that’s exactly what happened last year before the SEC Championship, and it didn’t change a thing.
  8. Baby steps, but Reed played well. Maybe bringing the ball up helps him get in rhythm. He played meaningful minutes while Holiday and Davison played 2 minutes in garbage time. Really nice game from Clint. 10 boards in 16 minutes. I’m warming on the signing. Should be a huge help in Adams ans Alpie’s load management.
  9. Imagine DFS getting the same looks that Okogie is getting. Still need a PG, but I really like our team. I didn’t have a stocky white guy absolutely cooking the Rockets on tonight’s bingo card.
  10. Memphis is such a weird franchise. They always draft well, but haven’t hit on a superstar. Ja and Triple J are annual borderline All Stars. I think they should have blown it up in the offseason, but they doubled down with Triple J’s extension. The small market success plan is right there in OKC. Memphis with a shit ton of picks would be interesting. But they’re the only pro sports team in town and don’t want to tank. Thus they’re stuck in play in hell for eternity.
  11. If Okogie can keep hitting wide open 3’s, Houston could be a problem for the rest of the league.
  12. Jabari looks like Durant Jr. My goodness. Signing KD is the best thing that could have happened to his career.
  13. How many holds did they call on Texas? Box score just says 6 penalties for 50 yards. Yes I know it was a SEC crew.
  14. I opened this thread and I thought it was a Holly Rowe biopic.
  15. I liked the show, didn’t like the ending.
  16. Penn State is a Venn Diagram of Birds and Terrible Towels fans. They’re nuts. It’s why they overlooked the Patrino stuff in a fortnight. Elko would not be walking into a cushy job. He’s 2 wins against South Carolina and Samford away from making the CFP and aggy bronzing a statue of him. Trev might want to cut expenses, but they’ll find the donor money to hit Elko’s number. My hope is that Penn State passes the hat and offers Cigs something insane like $150 million, and he says no. Penn State then says well we already raised the money, might as well give it to Elko.
  17. I don’t think they can get good value back for Reed. They spent the 3rd pick in the draft on him. He shouldn’t be a throw in on a trade. Figure out a role that minimizes harm to the team, let him play out his rookie deal, and reevaluate in Year 4. Jesus Christ they should drafted Castle.
  18. Office aggy predictably expressed his undying love for the 8 game conference schedule today. “Another SEC game takes a check away from a small school that really needs the money.” I could stay up all night and couldn’t come up with a more aggy statement than that.
  19. You weak minded simpletons. Where were y’all when we had to sit through 6 seasons of the following bullshit:
  20. Are you saying it’s a bad idea to play fOSU 4 times potentially in a year?
  21. This. We move up at least 1 spot during the bye if BYU beats Tech.
  22. That’s it. I’m out on Moscona. He thought the McNeese State AD would get the job and Ausberry didn’t want the job. Jesus. The guy has taken some L’s recently. He very publicly went in on Landry after the Woodward firing, so I’d imagine he’s completely cut out of the LSU inner circle.
  23. Agreed. He didn’t plan it out like, but I’m sure Sark would be thrilled to not play an extra game. Worked for Ohio State last year.
  24. Bama and Ole Miss are probably not going to lose another regular season game, so I don’t think we can make it to Atlanta regardless. We’re probably like the 5 seed if we win out. Works for me.
