  1. I think at that age, for most things either they are going to need to stretch in an adult direction or you'll need to stretch a bit in the kid direction. Lots of suggestions here stretch in the adult direction. One that we did and enjoyed as a family, but was a bit on the adults stretching toward the kids side, was Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events (the show on Netflix, not the movie). It was a perfect bridge show for the family at that age.

    Reads like he’s conceding that the Aggies won’t get him and expects Tech so he’s trying to frame it as specifically an L for us.

    Texas definitely thinks Coleman is coming. The Miami DL and Cal LB too. Not that that means anything.

    Spitballing here, but do you think we're at the point that taking out Help Wanted ads in school newspapers seeking anyone with OL experience might help? Offering competitive rates and a nice benefit package?

    IIRC a few pressers back Sark said he wasn’t concerned about our culture. Is this an unusual amount of players hitting the portal? The other day Sark was talking to the press about unreasonable “agents” (not easy to deal with types players have that have no agent experience.) Our Cheez-It win should be a pretty good recruiting tool for us. It’s not like we don’t have the money. If we make smart portal decisions (ahem look at Cig) we should be able to build a team around what we still have and Arch.

    I don’t keep up with recruiting nor the portal but is the consensus here something is WRONG and that we are losing players bc of it? Or is the amount we are losing no different from any other team? Is it on the level of Bama or Aggy attribution when DeBoer and Elko were hired?

    don’t know what to do with my very sweet Parker Livingston/stone jersey from someone I love dearly. Damn.

    not trying to stir up shit…just don’t know what people make of this. I realize there are a lot of wait and see types but is this amount of players leaving normal for a coach entering his 6th season or is it abnormal? Confused.

    I think it is healthy. There was too much comfort and complacency.

    You actually think Flood is going anywhere after sark sent him out for the press conference? Sark laid it out; the problem this year wasn’t the offense. Until further notice I assume Milwee, Banks and Flood are untouchable.

    I wouldn't draw conclusions one way or another based on Cheez It Bowl press conferences.

    It seems to me that Wisner was attempting to leverage our lack of RB depth in our bowl game in an attempt to get more money.  I mean if he has frank discussions earlier regarding his status, he should have hit the portal three weeks ago.  So it could be that Texas said something like let's see how things go before we talk final NIL numbers, but the more likely scenario is he knew a few names were jumping to the portal in the RB room and was hoping that would make Texas desperate to meet his NIL ask so we had a RB to play in the bowl game.  

     

    Do you actually think Texas would be so concerned with playing an experienced RB for the Cheez It Bowl that they would be leveraged into panicking and paying more for Wisner so he could play in the bowl game?

    If so, I can assure you that is not the case.

    So it’s the TV version of the Aggy football ‘coaster. 

    Within the sci-fi construction of the show, one wonders why they cant be more effective when they have the collective intelligence and capability of every living person and absolute cooperation. 

    It should be easy to convince Carol to join them. The experience of the worlds best psychologists, psychiatrists, motivational speakers, and negotiators are all simultaneously available to them!

    The same for having to sleep in a gym to conserve energy or going through the conventional motions of operating a plant or a hospital or whatever. Hyperintelligence can do that much better!
     

    Do you think you could be convinced of anything, provided enough of the world's best psychologists, psychiatrists, motivational speakers, and negotiators?  Not just your opinions, but core aspects of your sense of self and how you interact with the world?

    I'm not trying to be confrontational or play gotcha, I just think satisfaction with this show is enhanced by exploring the questions presented around what are foundational aspects of being human - what makes people happy?  the interplay between the individual and the corporate?  the rational and irrational parts of humanity?  Can you be loved as an individual when everyone is treated the same?  Is it wrong to be dissatisfied with that (as Carol is)? - and less about looking for plot holes about the hive mind or focusing on the aliens.  I'm not saying those things aren't legitimate, and everyone is obviously free to enjoy shows on whatever terms they like - it is just that the show is pretty transparently an exploration of humanity (with COVID and AI clearly serving as background inspiration) and not engaging it on those terms will lead to frustration and dissatisfaction.
