I am surprised nobody made this comment- could we have an offensive coordinator who is more a polar opposite in terms of teaching technique and communication versus Loeffler? That isn't an endorsement, but it is a very different tenor and message with much less football technical jingo in how he teaches. Hopefully that resonates with the young QBs who may have been overwhelmed by Loeffler's NFL style communication.
We're battling air!
Like Kenny Powers and the Boz had an illegitimate lovechild.
Really? You see for me it's Kevin Conroy.
I like the random flashes of Coach Vice who looks like he wandered in off the Roadhouse set.
I miss Calvin and Hobbes....
"strap a diaper to your ass, so you can walk around in your shit" just doesn't get me pumped for football. Then again, I don't know shit.
I wish they'd kill off Morgan already.
I think Abraham is done. There's been too much movement around Glenn and Daryl. Abraham is seemingly "safe" so it makes sense for shock value.
And on that note

# | 2017 LB Rayshard Ashby Follows His Gut and Pulls the Trigger Early in Pledge to Tech Awesome how much he kept saying it felt like home. Whit or somebody is doing a good job marketing our new slogan to encourage this feeling. This is home hokies!
I've got no skin in the game, but if I was a DC fan, I think I would have wanted them to save Doomsday for the real deal and not waste him on a 'let's try and launch the JLA bigtime' film.
It cost waaaaay more than $250 million when you throw in promotion - break even point is nearly a billion. It has a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. IMDB metascore is 44%. I've seen it, and it's crap - so I can dump on it I guess.
To be fair, that was the mentality we had with Beamer for probably a little too long.
But obviously we have to trust our new coaches this early in the process.
Isn't that why diapers were invented? So we didn't have to lug around 50 lb porcelain toilets?
Bird's the word!
Seriously though, HokieFireman, don't you dare.
ball security drills without a boxing glove on a stick? amatuers...

Chalk it up to different tastes I suppose. I haven't seen Hollywoodland or the Town. Gone Girl I felt he was very one-note. His performance was fine, which is his ceiling in my eyes, but a better actor could have helped that movie immensely. The critical love for Argo really confounds me. The movie is pretty good but, but it should have been great and again I feel like Ben is holding it back. His persona is suffocatingly bland and he brings that to every character he plays. I think a better performance from him along with better directing turns that into a truly great movie instead of what it is, just pretty good. I walked into that movie expecting something special given the accolades, and left firmly convinced that the Oscar wins were from friends doing him a favor.
All that aside, what's really worth ranting about is that Snyder was tabbed to direct this. They just finished a run of incredible films by a great director who got the grittiness they wanted by emphasizing story of style, then turn around and get a director who can do nothing but extended fight scenes.
My guess is that Negan kills Daryl, deviating from the (maybe?) expected comic book plot. Maybe Negan does it to "put him out of his misery" after Dwight shot him, claiming a sadistic moral high ground. I think Carol will remain MIA, but her sub-plot will get Morgan into trouble somehow and we'll end on a cliffhanger there. Glenn's fate is hard to predict. I think very strongly that Daryl is a goner, for reasons noted above, but if he becomes the surrogate for Glenn, then are the writers becoming too predictable in using surrogates to try to throw people off, a la Denise for Abraham?
I was just scrollin' down, skimming comments, and then, BOOM! Pooped my pants.
