That's funny.
Still, it needs one of these.
Would have actually been 1964-1968, since that's when Ramis was in school there, assuming that portion was based on his input. Coulda been Dartmouth or McMaster University.
It's gonna be great when E$PN doesn't even cover this story and then they change his name out of disappointment
Loluva should give this kid lifetime football season tickets. Then they could say that ESPN is at all their games.
Can you hang out with blowfish?
A good lawyer will even make that disappear as long as he doesnt have a long list of priors. Person that reported it stolen suddenly remembers they gave it to him or his fall guy takes the blame for having it and giving it to the guy. Sells a good story of how he bought it at a flea market, gun show or the like down south and will happily have the gun returned to the rightful owner now that the law has pointed out that he got duped. Shady details of seller fail to turn up a guy at the next version of the event. Something along the lines that make it less than he stole it.
They explain the buildup to the Sparrows rise better in the books, but it is included in the show if you look for it. Religion has always been an important part of this world, and the show has shown that across religions and cultures from the North to Meereen. The rise of the sparrows has a few key parts
1. History of The Seven in Westeros includes a Faith Militant, which Cersei mentions to the High Sparrow last season
2. War of 5 Kings destroyed the countryside, people were starving and scared
3. Joffrey/Cersei reign antagonized the masses, highlighted by the poop-throwing riot, King's Landing upset at those in the Red Keep, Lannisters/government are hated
4. Stannis is fighting behind the banner of a foreign religion. If he becomes king people fear he would institute a Red theocracy, the Battle of the Blackwater strikes fear in people of how close they are to being forced to pray to the Lord of Light.
All of this turmoil causes people to look to the supernatural. They are not protected by their lords or their king, so the religious institution steps in. The threat of an invasive religion forces them to dig their heels in. The fear of everything around them and disillusion in government creates a societal hole that allows for religious extremism to grow (sound familiar?). In steps the High Sparrow, and he's able to grow his following quickly. We see him clothing and feeding the poor, something Cersei won't do, so the people see the Faith as authority. This combined with Cersei's power plays, explained in WhiteHouseWes's post, culminates in the High Sparrow becoming the High Septon and will eventually lead to a religious war IMO. Religion will play a huge part in every storyline, it's not just a solitary plot point.

is it even possible for there to be more of an ABC law enforcement presence at Lane than there already is...?
kidding, sort of
Maybe if the gun wasn't stolen.
At UNC you don't have school to act as a distraction from football.
Word is his Dad is pushing UNC (Laborn is currently living in NC). Some believe we're running a solid 3rd right now.
If he gets even a decent lawyer, this will probably all be plead down to misdemeanors and considering there were two players involved, dont doubt the second guy become the fall guy especially when you read the story and realize the second player is a reserve guy that got two tackles in nine games played in.
The only time ESPN will call Charlottesville home.
Meanwhile at LSU
don't insult the academic fortitude of Washington University in St. Louis (Circa 1978)
Whether to implement double-secret probation or just regular secret probation.
Did anybody notice the Margaery-High Sparrow scene in the basement sept? There was what looked like blood dried on the walls that seemed to have flowed down from above. I'm pretty sure the old sept is right below the grand hall of Baelor's Great Sept.
that makes sense to me, I guess. In that case, any WR who catches the ball is on the play side? Thanks for breaking it down to terms I can understand...haha

# | Virginia Tech Stressing Comfort for Fans, Athletes in Slew of Planned Facilities Upgrades Really? There is many reasons it's not general public sold: cost to school to get liquor license to sell general public alcohol, cost to fit in needed keg operating facilities, increase in security cost for extra law enforcement and security required by VA ABC. That's just cost in dollars it doesn't account for potential cost in terms of fan happiness and safety.

# | Captain America: Civil War (or Avengers 3: Civil War sans Hulk, Thor and Quicksilver)#ALLTHESPOILERS Pros: Plot flow is smooth and logical. Casting was perfect (Holland is the best spiderman ever!). Massive entertainemnt value.
Cons: No Hulk. No Thor. No death(s). Biggest con-ever: Captain America supporting the pro-individual anti-government side whilst Ironman is supporting the government side. Nope. Nope. Nope. (Don't know or care if that's how it happened in the comics, it's two direct reversals for expressed character preferences.) [Also, disliked some of the other movies for doing this...Stark goes full anti-Military Industrial Complex (MIC), supports said MIC, Cap is suppossedly so patriotic, but repeatedly does not comply...]
Overall: Watch it. Excellent movie, do NOT pay attention to the consistency of the plot lines in Marvel Universe, they are better, but still unapologetically inconsistent. Standard summer, plot-less, explosions and ass-kicking movie-classification does still apply.
Strong side vs play side
Play side us where the ball is going
Strength is determined by formation i.e. Number of bodies
He probably wouldn't go.
It's not the cost of tickets that keeps people away.
