This. So far they've given Kiffin full reign as they should, but I wouldn't be surprised if they requested that he keep Orgeron out.

When you drop the entrance standards to pander to a specific demographic you will get that culture.

You can thank former LSU president Tate for that. When Matt Lee was interim, didn't he specifically say that LSU was going back to admissions testing? What are Dalton's thoughts on the matter?

Absolutely lovely little story that pieces together the legend of Christmas without taking anything away.

I like how the ending, while bittersweet, explains how Santa can be seemingly everywhere at once.

quote:
Even though it doesn’t lean into the Christian part of Christmas, it is a selfless tale

I think that "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" may be the only version that ties together Santa's origins with the birth of Christ. That said, you're right in that Klaus tells a story of selfless love for others, which is at the core of the Holiday season.

It doesn't really plow any new ground as it's a bit of a mash up of other Dracula stories but it's well acted and definitely worth watching.

I've read more than one review saying it's just a bad remake of Coppola's Dracula, only set in Paris instead of London.

Apparently that's not true. Kiffin reportedly wanted to retain him in an off-the-field role and he threw a shite fit.

LK didn't want Wilson coaching running backs.

I discovered it a couple of years back and watch it every year. I love that it's a Santa Claus origin story that never actually uses the words "Santa Claus."

How pathetic! They got him because we stole theirs and Kiffin let Thomas go.

In spite of every character being an a-hole, I still like this movie. I think it's because it reminds me of my own family. They do a good job of giving you the Christmas vibe, including all the dysfunction.

Likewise. One of my favorite holiday films. Big old house packed to the rafters with family. Snow. And of course, the inevitable drama that ensues when a family member brings their significant other home for Christmas for the first time.

Every good thing that happens to Ole Miss in the playoffs is bad for LSU. We should not be contributing to their success in any way. Anyone who thinks LSU or Lane Kiffin will benefit from having LSU's 2026 offensive coordinator involved in Ole Miss' playoff success is some combination of nuts and naive.

I agree with you, but I trust that Kiffin knows what he’s doing, otherwise he would’ve never allowed it.

LSU had to know that once Ole Miss got their hooks back into Weiss, they’d try to keep him. Ole Miss would’ve never done the same for us if they had poached our coach.

This is also my all-time favorite version of A Christmas Carol. So well-acted by veteran British performers and the songs are great too. One of the first versions that I’m aware of to give more of a glimpse into the lives of the Cratchits as well as Scrooge’s doomed relationship with Isabelle. Although every version of the story ends the same way, Scrooge’s redemption here is so joyous that it makes this film a holiday tradition.

Sounding like Frank is throwing a tantrum

I think this is what it is. Kiffin already said he planned to retain Wilson, but in a non-coaching role. He wants to choose his own RB coach, and Wilson is pissed. Sorry Frank, but this is the Lane Kiffin show. Either fall in line or GTFO.

Going from four years with a bland, zero enthusiasm coach like Brian Kelly to a guy like Lane Kiffin is gonna be fun!

I thought it was more to do with the fact that Kiffin is supposedly planning to relieve him of his RB coaching duties and move him to an administrative role with recruiting. I'd be fine with that because his RB personnel rotations this season have been terrible.

When Chenowith and Menzel sing at the end of 1 on screen it reminds you how awful replacements or imitations the two new girls are.

I have to disagree here. While the movies aren't perfect, the singing is Broadway caliber. Cynthia Erivo is a musical theater veteran (she's even won a Tony award) and Ariana Grande worked hard to train her voice, and you can tell. I'd say AG is the best part of the first movie. She acts well and nails the physical comedy aspects of the role.

I did enjoy the first film more. It is a near perfect adaptation of the first act of the play. I liked For Good, but not as much. I wasn't impressed by the two new songs, but I understand why they felt the need to add them. The melting scene hits harder on screen than on stage because you can see their faces and you know what's about to happen even though Elphaba tells Glinda it's going to be ok.

Frank Wilson is way overrated now. His running backs have left a lot to be desired. His RB rotations have been terrible, at best. With NIL, he's no longer the recruiter he once was. Quite frankly, I'm tired of him holding the university hostage over some perceived recruiting advantage. Other schools have been able to come into Louisiana the past few years and cherry pick some of the best players from Louisiana.

10 years ago I may have agreed with this, but no longer feel that way.

Exactly the way I feel.
