Kind of off-topic(and random), but I'm still pretty new to Blacksburg and the NRV...I was curious if anyone knew if anybody knows if there's adult pick-up basketball games held anywhere in the area. I used to play about every day and am looking to start back up. Thanks in advance!

So I finally got to watch the finale. For me, it was more of the same. The first two scenes typified my problems with the acting -- a great 5 minute scene about the background of Ferrell/McAdams and a horrifyingly bad scene between Vaughn and his sauntering wife, Jordan. Just compare and contrast the acting in those two scenes. If anything, this show gave me a lot more faith in McAdams than I have had before.

But the fundamental question is how to end a show. There was a lot of discussion about how Season 2 ended compared to Season 1 (like this), but as I've said before, I didn't view the True Detectives as comparables. My problems with Season 2 was that it wasn't well written or acted as compared to other good TV shows, not that it wasn't as good as Season 1. However, the discussion about how Pizzolatto had Season 2's ending reflect the criticisms of Season 1's ending is interesting.

My thought process was more comparing it the now infamous Fade To Black ending of the Sopranos. That was an ending that I liked, that it seemed like The Sopranos was always a slice of life, not a start-to-finish story that needed to be wrapped up. This ending was literal, tangible. Whenever you have that "and now we flip 6 months ahead to see how it all ended up!" ending, I'm a little put off. I know some people like the story to actually "end," but its not something that I personally need. What's the best way to end a story?

At quick glance, it looks like only 3 times has anyone ever scored over 30 points in Lane Stadium

conveniently precludes counting the Miami game. I like it.

Unfortunately, in our 4 home losses last year, we gave up 27, 28, 30, and 33 points to teams far inferior to the buckeyes. I'm excited for the game and think we have a chance to win, but let's not go cherry picking stats to make us look better, ok?

that's only half the rumor. It's "paper or plastic" class.

and probably wont catch anything else either. Poor guy.
