This is something Scott Gimple is doing intentionally, as a break from the seasons under Darabont and Mazarra where it was very structured with foreshadowing. Gimple wants to show how stupid and messy life in a ZA would be.
Agreed. I like the way they switched the Hunters around into Terminus. My friend said instead of hunters they were gatherers.
Oy.
My point with the spoilers was actually me thinking about how people will see comments from this thread on the comments section (which I erroneously called the tracker above) and might blindside them with a spoiler. Wasn't even so much worried about myself, just saying a grace period might be nice.
I actually belong to a TWD forum and I avoid it until I see the episode for that week. Even though I've read the comics, the show changes up events quite a bit so you're never sure exactly what's coming up. Still, there aren't really a lot of surprises if you've read the comics, especially since Scott Gimple took over the show, and spoilers don't really ruin it for me. I just think TKP would be a prime location to ambush someone who does care about spoilers in a place they wouldn't suspect it.
But the idea got shot down and I'm fine with that. Honestly, chances are nobody will give a shit anyway if they catch a spoiler.
His helmet is down and to the side as he raises his shoulder for the block. Now the defender might make contact with the crown of his helmet. Ward, not so much. The technique is solid.
He lowered his head to avoid helmet to helmet contact.
I disagree. Led with his shoulder, did not launch, made initial contact with his opponent's shoulderpad. Not a blind side hit. This is a pretty prefect block. I don't think this draws a flag on the college level.

# | Bitter blog - Spring breakdown: Is this the year the o-line begins to turn a corner? And for the first time in years, I have sincere confidence in our OL coach going into the spring.

# | Bitter blog - Spring breakdown: Is this the year the o-line begins to turn a corner? When was the last time you could look at the OL heading into spring ball and say, "Well I know these three guys are legit..."?
For people who have read the comics, is anyone else getting the feeling that Sasha=comic Andrea?
Rumor is Dr. Jenner will be a recurring character. We might finally get to see why he said the French were close to a breakthrough, and actually get to meet Test Subject 19.
I did indeed mean comments instead of tracker. My bad.
Fair enough. Motion overruled.
Gabriel trying to narc on Rick is straight out of the comics. In the comics, what Rick and the group did to the Hunters was way, way worse than what they did to the Terminus survivors in the show, so Gabriel trying to rat them out seems way sleazier on the show.
Could also really open up the WR screen too. Lefty is already consistently getting 4-5 yards on a flanker screen when the run game hasn't been a huge threat. That could become 7-8 if defenses have to sell out to stop the run.
I've got no doubt that we will have a really, really good 3rd tailback. I'm just saying I want to have a definite third tailback. 1 and 2 each getting 35% of the carries, 3 getting 20% and the rest of the stable getting some in-game touches to give them a look seems like an ideal setup. I just don't want a carousel of six backs. It was necessary last year, but this season we have a better idea of what we have at the top.
Like I said below, it shows up on the tracker. you don't even have to click into this thread to see it. So it's kind of exactly the same thing.
I was making a general suggestion that in a thread dedicated to the entire franchise of The Walking Dead, maybe as a courtesy we could agree that you get 24 hours or whatever before we spoil it. Posts here will show up on the tracker, which means now people who DVR the show are going to have to tread lightly on TKP just like they do on social media.
I clicked on this expecting it to be a general forum to discuss the franchise of The Walking Dead, and reading the OP's post, I think that's what was intended. I then realized people were discussing Sunday's episode. Whatever. I've read the comics and know what's coming, so it's no big deal. But then I realized, hey, this shit is going to show up in the tracker and that could be a problem for some people.
I don't expect the community to pick up the slack of my idiocy any more than your jackassery. I just would hate people to come onto TKP to catch up on VT news and then have a major plot point ruined. Especially with the season finale coming up and a really big character death looming.
Given his career thus far, I am not hopeful that Trey can avoid injury. Trey has been very good when he's been available, but our coaching staff must find a viable third option behind JCC and Trey because at any given point in the season our third option can become our second option. I don't want to see the musical chairs we saw last year in the backfield. I want a clear first, second and third string tailback heading into the fall.
You are unscientifically awesome.
I agree that their programming has a certain focus, but I really like that focus and, as you said, they really do present ALL sides. It was through All Things Considered that I realized that the Keystone Pipeline already existed and Keystone XL was a proposed addition/rerouting. They actually present the whole story.
They also have what in my opinion is the best investor-focused program in Marketplace. It beats the pants off of anything on CNBC.
I find All Things Considered to be the best all around coverage of any given day's major headlines, and any political spin is negligible IMO. Others might disagree, but to me they do a really, really good job of keeping everything factual and sourced.
My question is, is there a reason this couldn't be represented on a linear scale? (Which is what I thought this was at first glance, coincidentally).
It was an attempt at levity. Sorry it didn't come across that way.
