This kid is electric. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the slot catching those quick screens and then breaking away from the pack of players as he strolls into the endzone.

QB, RB & WR competition this Spring/Fall will be absolutely insane...

Jackson is listed at 6-3... so who knows he could be anywhere between 6-1 and 6-3 as measurements are always rounded up.

You guys might want to rethink that. From what I hear, those Hatin' On threads don't always work out so well. You wouldn't want Bristol to turn out the same way as Cincy @ FedEx Field did. Maybe Antone Exum can show up in Bristol and interfere with some more passes.

My impression from looking up the history between the two was that Plagueis was the lead researcher on reanimation and had the most success/experience, and Palpatine was just his assistant, although trained in the ways (except being able to actually pull it off). They were working together to channel the force (as was mentioned above, I think), when "it" drew away from them and concentrated somewhere else, presumably in the womb of Shmi Skywalker. I don't think Palpatine had murdered Plagueis yet, and Anakin's creation would have been an accident or side effect (a problem for them) rather than intentional.

They are all narcissistic whiners. If they had families instead of just pets, they might have a better perspective on life.

To be honest Buckys was pretty flagrant. Even I who was out of my mind losing it when he scored immediately was like "Knock it off, just hand the ref the ball"

Ill miss franks response "oh we'll see how much he likes dancing next Tuesday"

I hadn't noticed this aspect, but thinking back, it makes sense. My line of thinking is still that Rey got some sort of rebound from Kylo Ren's mind during interrogation, but this pairs well with that.

I have no idea what the surgery is for. Hopefully this doesn't mean that the Hokies will be so shorthanded in the secondary that guys will play out of position in the spring. Chuck Clark looked uncomfortable all season as a deep safety and his lack of time in that role (he played corner in the spring due to injuries) may have contributed to that lack of comfort.

Also, at this time, we don't know that the Jedi are responsible for peacekeeping and there is no republic to protect. The Empire is the enemy of the Rebellion who are trying to re-establish the republic. The scene at Jabba's palace was, as you said, a friend rescuing a friend. I think Luke probably felt indebted to Han after he helped save his tail when fighting the Death Star and again when he rescued Luke on Hoth. The Jedi, their purpose and their place in the world, are a mystery in the OT in terms of how they should conduct themselves. The 2 original Jedi, Yoda and Obi-Wan, have stopped their peacekeeping efforts and gone into hiding. The moment though that a member of the Rebellion, Leia, asks Obi-Wan for her help though, he goes on a rescue mission which he knows will lead him to confronting the Empire and Vader and it wasn't really going to be a friendly encounter.
