    Little Nicky will be permantly on a golf course somewhere by then..

    Not sure which of his ex-padawans the bammers will target, but the best ones already have pretty good jobs they may not be willing to leave. Nobody wants to be the first to follow Saban at this point..

    I am hoping they can land Bill Clark as his replacement. Dude wins everywhere he coaches, even in untenable situations like UAB.

    Bama's OOC for the next two years:

    2018 - Louisville, Arkansas St, LA-Lafayette, and Citadel 

    2019 - Duke, New Mexico State, Southern Miss, and Western Carolina 

    Seriously, bama?  Pussy.
     

    Why do you think they finally started trying for some home and home series again? They were having trouble getting the marquee names to sign up for the one off neutral games anymore. After they murdered Clemson, Michigan, USC and now FSU in those openers. The closest games were the two VT and the WVU games. If you mean the three other games, well Bama is the only one that wants to get the conference to switch to a 9 game conf schedule. Until they agree, they will stick with the same type scheduling as everybody else in conference.

     

    Looking forward to this series, I may not live until the ND series but I might just make ot for this one. Looking forward to a road trip to Austin. Some of you fools will have to be my guides. Will return the favor for any of you that make the return trip.

  3. I wasn't saying it was a dream, more like a daydream. Like his other little daydreams about his future with annoying blondie. Although, we get a little perspective on how she might have become that way, with her abusive marriage. He may have just been trying to play out future events in his mind. Not sure it was a daydream but it would fit with his psyche. 

  4. College stadiums-

    Of course, Bryant-Denny(about 100 times)

    Jacksonville State aka Burgess-Snow, about 10 times

    UTC Mocs stadium, once for JSU game there. Nice for a small stadium.

    Grant Field(prior to the Bobby Dodd renaming) in '82

    Legion Field, before it was a complete dump, just a minor dump then, back in the early 80's

    Neyland-thrice, cool seeing the Vol Navy for the first time, hilly as fuck walking around

    Vaught Hemingway-Grove is overrated

    Seen Jordan Hare but not on a gameday. Same for Sanford Stadium.

    Rose Bowl-Not a bad seat in the house, long, narrow tunnels from concessions to seats, have to wait to be let back in.

     

    Non-college stadiums for college games-

    Ga Dome-4 times, Clemson, VT twice, WV, all for Kickoff Classic

    Superdome-BCSCG vs LSU, also partied outside of it for the Bama vs Miami title game(could not afford tickets, as poor college student)

    Jerryworld-For Michigan and USC games in openers.

     

  5. I almost want Liz to escape, by the skin of her teeth, back to Mother Ruskie, to see what a shithole it has become, only to starve to death in Siberia. Sure, she is a zealot but her own people have been lying to her about things back "home". About how everything she is doing is making them so much better, so much stronger.

  6. ^I don't think it is a waste. It is an illustration of his powers and also of what may have happened, if he made different choices, at different points in his life. Add on a little dabbling into the multiverse theory.

    All got damn Russians on this show need to die slow, painful deaths. Like the cancer lady. Especially Paige. She wants to make a difference in the world? Walk into FBI offices and rat out your B of a mother. That not an option for you, Pagey Pants? 

    Great, great, great TV. Can't wait to see how it ends. 

    That is what makes this show great. It makes us have a little sympathy for the enemy. Not enough to pardon them of their crimes, just enough to see how they got to be who they were. This show has done a great job at setting that up.

    That's part of his wrongdoing.

    He couldn't be bothered by such trivial things.

    We all have the responsibility to protect the innocent, especially children. He isn't absolved from that duty because he thought beating Notre Dame or Nebraska was so fucking important.

    That is not dedication.  It is absolute irresponsibility and in most folks' opinions, straight up psycopathic behavior.

    Again, y'all seem to think I am taking up for him, I am not. I was just explaining why they probably did not show him in the flashbacks to the meetings they had about the subject.

    Holy shit, that was a tense episode.

    It felt a little too convenient that Stan started getting suspicious the way he did.  I expected a big bang of realization tied to the car search or something.  But maybe I'm nitpicking.

    Regardless, this thing is building to a hell of a crescendo and there are several believable outcomes on the table.  Good stuff.

    I think maybe it has been an itch in the back of his mind. The reason he likely did not reach for it was the fact that Phillip backed away for a very long time and Stan had transferred away from the CT unit. Now he is back and suddenly, Phillip goes on this trip, during a family holiday, when he had been staying at home for awhile. Note his recollection of the last words of the guy they caught.

    I don't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

    Not giving that to him. I am saying he just greenlit whatever they did but did not want to waste any time on any issue that wasn't moving his agenda forward. If you saw the movie, I think that was him to a T. In the movie, he avoided reading the report for some time because he didn't think it was that important, what was important was preparing for the next game. In the movie, he was not paying attention to what Sandusky was doing with his own kids in the pool because he had to prepare for Alabama or whoever else he might have been playing in a New Years Bowl game.

    I still don’t understand why William said the same line as Dolores during different timelines 

    Delores said it when Arnold was still testing Delores and took her to the big city. She was supposed to meet and bang Logan to get his investment but Tallulah Riley took her place. 

    William said it to Delores years later after he supposedly fell in love with her, then realized that wasn’t real, then moved on etc. 

    Did William read through her code or something? 

     

    Possibly or it is quite possible she used that line on him, soon after they first met.

    We didn't have World Book -- we had Encyclopedia Britannica.  My folks wrestled long and hard with the purchase decision, and then did so -- had to do it on a payment plan over months (years)?  It was a real-deal sacrifice.

    I was such a fucking nerd that I'd just pull out a volume and start reading stuff.  But I really loved the "Book of the Year" that you got every year; it covered big events the past year, things that materially changed previous entries, that sort of thing.  I'd read it cover-to-cover.   And now, 35 years later, we get the Economist...and at the end of each year, they have a "look back at the last year" edition.  And yep, I read it...cover to cover.

    We had both. Had the exact 60's version of the World Book, minus the Childcraft, at least I never saw them, if we had them. I think they bought the World Book set at a garage sale. They bought the Encyclopedia Britannica set on the monthly bill. Think I read all of both sets, which is likely why I was so good at the original Trivial Pursuit, when it first came out.
