  1. I went and found the thread. Damn you for sending me down this rabbit hole. Who knew there was such drama percolating through these forums?
  2. You clearly need to brush up on your minor characters from John Hughes movies of the 80’s if you want to keep up with this crowd.
  3. There is just something about those vocal peer recruiters on social media that never seem to work out. Jalen Milroe, Brown, Kirkland. Bobby Taylor at ATM.
  4. I have seen this argument a couple of places and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. If I am an observer in Oman, or the UAE, or Iraq and I see Israel fire one missile that takes out the commander of the Quds Force and several other high ranking members, and Iran’s retaliation is to fire 300 drones, cruise, and ballistic missile that collectively only manages to injure a poor little Bedouin girl, who comes off looking like the strong horse in this exchange? I tend to think that they really thought they would inflict some pain on Israel. If they didn’t, it seems like a miscalculation, a waste of a lot of their arsenal, and it gives Israel another causus belli to come back after them. If you’re going to break forty years of acting through proxies to do your dirty work, I would think you’d want a much better return on such a move.
  5. I’m 6 episodes in and really enjoying it so far. Have a question that seems like a fundamental flaw in the premise that I’m wondering if they ever answer:
  6. I think that’s what bothers me the most. The gaslighting by all of the announcers. - “They play tough defense without fouling”
  7. I mean, technically, Mao’s face didn’t appear in the Netflix version either. Does the Tencent version not depict the struggle session or work camps?
  8. Hottest scientist on film since a young Denise Richards played Dr. Christmas Jones in The World Is Not Enough Really surprised to see there’s a Chinese adaptation given how hard (and accurately) they portray the horrors of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
  9. Great movie. If you have kids it hits especially hard. I listen to the soundtrack quite a bit as background music for work.
  10. He was spotted at a Pappadeaux’s in New Mexico last week. Looks every bit of 94. https://pagesix.com/2024/03/29/entertainment/actor-gene-hackman-94-and-wife-betsy-arakawa-62-seen-on-first-public-outing-in-21-years/
  11. The Daily Mail running a story on the national anthem controversy by amplifying posts of outrage on Tiger Droppings is the corn dog circular firing squad action I’m here for: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/college-basketball/article-13264361/lsu-fans-fume-kim-mulkey-fired-national-anthem.html
  12. Fillipowski is carrying on the long and storied tradition of Duke having a hateable white guy who behaves like a wrestling heel on the court. A grateful nation thanks you for your service in keeping it unified against Duke.
  13. I guess this is an improvement. When they played in Maui last year Purdue had 48 FT’s.
  14. I don’t know what was supposed to be in the article. Pat Forde made it sound like it would threaten Mulkey’s job and everyone on this thread was speculating like she was one of the Tuttle family from True Detective. Then we get a big long nothingburger. I wouldn’t have posted the tweet from Torres if I thought he was a right wing hack. He doesn’t work for Outkick, he isn’t an LSU beat writer, he’s a UCONN journalism grad who writes for the Athletic. As far as I know, Fox Sports doesn’t have a political slant anymore than shows that appear on the Fox Network do. I’m sure if something was cut from the story it will leak out later.
  15. Those of us who went into Caddyshack 2 with high hopes are a little gun shy about sequels of beloved properties.
  16. Times have changed. The paper that took on the Catholic Church and exposed Watergate wouldn’t be wasting its time writing a 7500 word mildly critical profile of a swamp trash women’s basketball coach.
  17. He’s shameless. “The refs are allowing a physical style of play which obviously benefits them [Illinois].” As his 7’2” barbarian is wreaking havoc in the paint.
  18. Saw the original at the Varsity Theater on Guadalupe my freshman year. I have a lot of trepidation about revisiting a great movie after so many years but that trailer does make me hopeful. Fingers crossed.
  19. Assuming Iowa can get past Colorado today, their Elite 8 game with LSU will be a ratings bonanza for the sport.
  20. Thanks for posting, just read the whole thing. I’m not even sure I could call it a hit piece. It’s more of a warts and all portrait of a completely uncompromising coach driven to win at the highest level and personal relationships be damned. She’s frozen out her own father for 40+ years over his infidelity, and more recently her sister, apparently. Mulkey sounds like the type who is extremely diffficult/unpleasant to be around, but she’s probably great for the women’s game. Apathy is their biggest enemy and heels get eyeballs.
  21. I agree that UCONN is the prohibitive favorite, but for Alabama, Clemson, and Tennessee who have never made a Final Four, just getting there will be a big deal.
