I really enjoyed it, caught it on HBO Max last night. I think it's pretty similar, theme-wise, to both OBAA and Bagonia, with Bagonia slightly beating out Eddington as the best of the three.

People are going to get caught up in the political examples, but it's really just a story about manipulation and isolation. Aster did a good job of going after both sides, even though the core message takes a hard turn in the third act.
Yeah, this movie is going to rock. If they're still able to land some of the other rumored guys, this cast is going to be insane.
Yep this is how I view it as well. Battled a top 3 team in the country despite getting killed on the boards and having two key rotational players out. I didn't lose any sleep over the loss. I just hope to go 2-2 during this brutal 4 game stretch.
That’s crazy, surely Auburn has had similar success then?
Is it safe to discuss the ending now?

I thought it was well acted, but the "twist" I think everyone saw coming a mile away. I thought 10 Cloverfield Lane did a better job building tension and getting the viewer to question what was real and not.

I still want to see us rock white helmets again I don't care
Outside of the buyout in two years jokes, it's a tough place to coach.

1. You're guaranteed Alabama and UGA every year.

2. Throw in the rest of the SEC, the toughest conference top to bottom.

3. NIL and the portal have evened the playing field a bit, which sounds like a positive, but you're now competing with schools you thought you had a leg up on, and that's not even counting the top teams/bluebloods you're recruiting against as well.

4. Disorganization between the athletic department and boosters, we've seen it get messy in the past couple of coaching searches.

5. A problem for basically every school, unrealistic expectations. It's tougher to be dominant at the top, and the middle/lower tier power conference teams look at Indiana and Vandy and now expect those immediate results.

Yeah good luck.

Initial Hot Board:

Jon Sumrall - wife is AU grad, from Huntsville, so maybe the top realistic?
Jimbo Fisher - lol
James Franklin - fits better at VT
Brent Key - why leave GT for AU at this point? Alumni as well
Clark Lea - Pavia merchant
Eli Drinkwitz - if you leave Mizz, aim higher
Kenny Dillingham - not a chance
Ryan Silverfield - meh
Alex Golesh - I think he has the luxury of waiting and picking his spot, whether this cycle or the next

Going to be fun to watch it all play out. Good luck competing with UF, Penn St, LSU, and then the schools in their tier.

Pretty excited to see their coaching wishlist, I'm sure they're totally realistic options.
Yeah I agree. I think they went for the shock value of sleeping with the coach’s wife rather than thinking about what would be next.

I kind of hate the cliffhanger for the finale. It’s like they’re just putting it on pause to see if we get another season or not, pretty weak.

Regarding the lack of football criticism. The scenes we did get, looked solid but nothing special. I wouldn’t want to watch half the runtime go to these games. Just go watch an actual football game I guess?
Good movies are still coming out, but people don't show up to theaters to see them. Ironic you reference Marvel in your post.
They just went through a brutal stretch and were rewarded with a road game where South Carolina treated it like their Super Bowl. A win is a win.

Elko is best HC in SEC and is building a program that all want to model after. Take him a year day of the week over any other coach.



It should be illegal for you to share a football opinion.

I believe it's still on HBO Max but there's also a documentary Scorsese made of his parents and his life growing up, really cool as well.

Still after 5 games it's odd to not even have seen a picture. But i can't look to much into this. You have to suspend belief to enjou this show.



He's busy enough trying to be an entirely different person, idk if he glanced at a picture of someone that he would recognize her later in a dark bar after a few drinks with his guard let down.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but Bama just went through the toughest 4-game stretch you're going to find and went 4-0. Letdown spots are going to happen. I'll take any kind of win this coming Saturday but the way the college football landscape is today, no one is running through their schedule like some dominant teams did not even ten years ago.
The book is great and Michael Mann is back to direct. Looks like a loaded cast as well, pretty excited for this one.

There's tons of evidence that Milroe was absolutely toxic in the locker room. Saban himself implied as much when citing his reasons for retirement.



Ready to see this evidence.
