  1. Gotta make it look good to Toranaga’s surviving men because of course they’re going to report back to him.
  2. As Ishido stated on the show, Toranaga has other sons. Naga was his fourth son in the books. I believe the newborn boy is actually Toranaga’s first grandchild in the books. Toranga’s eldest son is his carbon copy and heir. He’s barely in the book and only appears in the final couple chapters. I don’t expect him to be on the show.
  3. Yes he was counting and timing out the attack.
  4. Regarding the second paragraph, this. But they’d have to film an additional episode most likely. I think the showrunners wanted to keep it very succinct at 10 episodes. More likely they were given a 10 episode budget.
  5. I think they need to get 2 starters in the second round. It’ll be too early for safety at 42, and I’m not sure there’s value for a safety at 59 either. I’d go corner at 42, and best available iDL or OG at 59. They can’t depend on Kenyon Green to do shit other than medically retire. Guard needs to get addressed in the second or third rounds.
  6. Another hope for next week.
  7. Peak Kim Basinger is seducing Garth into killing her husband if memory serves me correctly.
  8. Book readers and show watchers, is We’s Einstein joke in the books or did B&W write that? I’m pressed if they wrote that for the show. It’s a perfect analogy for 3 Body Problem. I started The Dark Forest. I don’t like the narrator as much. Some English guy. The pacing is a little jerky, but the Evans - San-Ti conversations are great. It’s pretty obvious the San-Ti didn’t need Evans when the Sophons reach Earth. I’m currently in the Wallfacers chapter. Pretty cool. I’m trying not to look ahead, but it’s clear The Dark Forest is building towards something big.
  9. Terrific episode. The ninja attack was a little rushed, but no complaints.
  10. Yeah, I could see SMU and maybe Coug High doing well in the portal. Especially if Texas continues to build a championship roster, and if Elko is allowed to run off 5 stars that don’t like to practice in Year 2.
  11. I think Israel is done. Iran has almost certainly moved anybody important into an embassy/consulate or back to Iran. And oh yeah, they need finish off Hamas and somehow restart their economy. I’d argue that couldn’t handle another war. US reluctance to fund it, and if they hit Iran, Hezbollah is going to hit them with everything they have. I doubt they want to open a new war on at least 2 fronts.
  12. I really liked what I saw him from at third yesterday.
  13. Just in case you forgot Kiper was washed, he had Jared Wiley in his top 100 today.
  14. Let’s be honest here. Bergman took the weekend off to grow that goatee.
  15. Saying he almost quit football several times in his Path to Draft profile Probably didn’t help either.
  16. The Daisy Jones pair is writing the screenplay. It seems like they’re doing all the right things.
  17. Foster skipping spring ball for the third year in a row is pretty, pretty good.
  18. I am loving the book. It addresses almost every question I have about the San-Ti. I strongly recommend reading it while we’re waiting for Season 2.
  19. The Turks are pretty duplicitous and are run by an autocrat, but I’ll buy it. The US, under current management, was going to stop the attack, but asking for restraint and warning Israel is extremely consistent with current US Foreign Policy. I hate that Turkey has so much influence in the region. They seem to be the mediators on every single dispute now.
  20. I was talking to a friend about this earlier. If a player enrolls at Texas with an injury or gets injured in his first camp, he’s probably going to get recruited over. Guillette is an exception and probably the baseline talent level that the coaches will wait for. I’ve been very pleased with the healthy roster churn.
  21. So best case scenario, Rockets will have two Top 4 picks?
