Something tells me they won't botch it twice then keep him alive at the hospital afterwards
Jurassic Park easily. Shawshank redemption was not a box office hit like Jurassic Park was.
I started a thread myself, I'll be getting it, I'm pretty picky about racing games, not one of my usual genres, but this seems exactly the type I like.
99.9% of the total vote counted.

Meanwhile Los Angeles takes 4 weeks to count 850,000.
They got down by 17 to a pretty terrible South Carolina team and had to win by 1 in overtime

I think reevaluating a team based on a bad performance is fair, regardless of result.

They went from 24 to 26 also, not really that big of a drop. It just feels worse since it was out of the pool and not like 15 to 17.

I mean if you don't like racing games period it's gonna be a non starter. The reviews are all glowing so they clearly did something right for people who want this type of game.

I strangely expect us to build a lead and then try to hang on.

Hopefully not as ridiculous as 2 years ago
I just don't see Georgia going into Tuscaloosa and winning.

Anywhere else, Id take Georgia but not this week

Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Posted by StansberryRules on 10/4/26 at 7:56 pm
This comes out on Tuesday and it's gotten pretty spectacular reviews.

Racing games aren't normally my jam, not really a genre I've ever been into but this one is right up my alley. From when they first revealed it, it looked like the type of racing game I would dig.

My favorite racing franchise of all time is easily F-Zero, I love high speed, actiony, aracady type racers that are very challenging single player experiences, and those have largely fallen by the wayside. The racing game landscape is pretty much just Mario Kart and a bunch of "realistic" sim type racers (Gran Turismo, Forza, etc.) which I have no interest in at all.

This one they pretty much went all in on making an arcade type racer, the single player campaign is actually the main focus and draw of the game and is apparently quite robust and partially rogue-like each run is somewhat random in terms of your options and you're expected to try and fail quite a lot as you progress and unlock things. It's been described as an old school throwback, a video game video game, which is exactly what I want.

Another good thing IMO is that they just use the Star Wars universe as just the backdrop for the racing league. They actually made a point in the advertising to let you know this has nothing to do with jedi or lightsabers or the force or any of that shite.

There's of course online multiplayer too which a ton of people will get into, but as someone who mostly wants a single player experience, finding a racing game that caters to that is rare.

There's probably nobody in the top 20 I wouldn't take against them on a neutral field at the moment.

re: Indiana SOS is 108

I remember back when Boise State used to go 12-0 and get left out because their schedule sucked, but those sucky schedules were still better than Indiana's this year.

With 2 or 4 spots SOS mattered. With 12 you can schedule your way to a playoff spot every year.
Does anybody complain to the refs as much as Dabo?
Clemsons offense looks vanilla as hell
