    Eagles got incredible value with that Johnny Wilson pick, can’t believe he fell that far. 6’7 WR with good speed. Dude will be an all-pro in no time. 

    I didn’t know he spelled his name Johnny Wilsoñ

  2. Watched a movie called Tik TIk Boom based on a recommendation.  Didnt know anything about it and thought it was excellent.  Stars Andrew Garfield and directed by Lin Manuel Miranda. 

    Just letting you know it is a musical similar to La La Land, so if thats not you bag you may want to avoid it.  I only know Garfield as the worst Spiderman, but after his performance in this you can tell he is really talented.

    I just googled that course.  Looks amazing, and also looks like the definition of "old Scottish golf."  Can't wait to hear about it.

    Also looks like they put 18 flags in the middle of nowhere in a beautiful location and called it a "golf course".  How are you getting there?

    We are taking a fairy from Mallaig.  We will be renting a car and driving from there.  it looks fun, and he is the most excited about playing this course than anything. 

     

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions,Ill post pics from the road.  

  4. Son just graduated Clemson and is going to Europe for a couple months before the real world starts.  I am meeting him in Scotland in January.  The plan is to fly into Edinburg on Friday and rent a car to head straight to St. Andrews.

    Spend Saturday in St. Andrews and on Sunday walk the Old Course and then leave. The plan is to go to Inverness for a couple days.  Do a Whisky tour from Inverness and then head to Isle of Sky, hike old man Storr and the fairy pools.  

    My son is a golf whore, so he found a course he wants to play on the Outer Hebrides called Askernish.  Then we plan to spend the night in Glencoe and finish for a couple of days in Edinburgh. 

    Anything i am missing?  Is three days in Inverness too much?  Am I spreading ourselves too thin?

    Is Glencoe worth more than a day ? 

    Any Food/Bar recs.  I’ve made a list of some of the places mentioned here. 

    Thanks in advance.

    Hadn't thought about draft numbers since everyone finalized decisions to stay or declare. 8 should be safe (Worthy, Mitchell, Sweat, Murphy, Brooks, Sanders, Ford, Jones). Watts and Robinson will have outside shots as well. I had thought we could hit double digits but Majors, Barron, and Collins returning is great. 

    If only Murphy were a year older he could have cashed in on his day 2 grade instead of transferring. 

    Edit

    Ricky's one hitter answered my question. 

  6. Gen X here, born in 72 graduated high school in 90.  I agree that Breakfast Club is probably the defining HS movie, but when I watch it now, I root for the adults.  Those kids deserved to lose one Saturday for detention.  If my son duct taped some kids butt cheeks together he probably would have been in detention for the rest of the year.  And, they would have come back the nest week and write another paper if they thought they could get away with forcing the nerdy kid to write one for everybody. 

    Favorite HS movie was Say Anything.  Still holds up.

  7. Octavious went to my hgh school (Spring Westfield).   He was a freshman when I was a senior.  Really sweet kid, I was happy to see he got his doctorate and found success after college.   I think the story was he couldn't read when he got to high school.  The coach at the time was Emory Bellard and he helped him out as a freshman.

  8. Finished watching this last week.  Didn't want to spoil it, so stayed away from this thread until today.  Not much to add, this was such a great show from start to finish and the acting was incredible. 

    I was wondering how everyone was related.  I know Fak and Ritchie were friends of the Berzattos, and Ritchie was basically raised by them.  Is uncle Jimmy  a real uncle and was it Jamie Lee Curtis's brother?  It seemed like he would be the dad's brother if it was a biological relation.  I know Mulaney and Paulson were married, but was Paulson another Aunt or cousin of Carm/Mikey/Sug?  

    Unless i missed it, i don't think it was mentioned why Ritchie's wife left him and what happened to the dad.
