re: Watched Supergirl Today...

I think it started when they chose this version of Supergirl. It was a one-off book. The idea of a wino Superhero who wants to be bratty is not really appealing to a mass audience. Most people despise teens that act like that. Why make a whole movie on that version when you have a lot of other versions to pick from. The story and the other issues just added to the hate.

I like how they interview these people and many of them say how good they are at Survivor. I could see that one tribe falling apart, but there are so many cringe people on here, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would stand out.

I was surprised the guys that voted with the group last night. I get HR, but I think Carter voted against her as well.

Also as hyper and goofy as he is, I think being around Brady would suck after a very short while.

The challenges are good so far, but it shows you how screwed up the game is, that almost no one wanted to step up to organize the team to get the whale over. How is it, that Ori doesn't know how to lift dead weight and all these farmers have no idea how to move something that is heavy. Just take a minute to figure it out and get organized. I get the conditions and everything, but how can people not understand leverage?

Also, would it be unfair to let Ori wear his lifejacket. I would hate to be the one to try to save that guy if he panics.

Uber and his three sons were all used in the movie.
Saw it last night. Tough watch at the end. Some things seemed a little far-fetched but overall great movie.
I was surprised no one else was there with the wife and I. For a Brad Pitt movie it seemed there should be more buzz and attendance.

They checked all the boxes.

Man did the lesbian meet all the stereotypes, short hair, men's pants, and she said she played softball.

The jobs are crazy why "livestock farmer"? Professor Jelly; seriously?

The bow tie guy "Head of HR".

I am thinking the Irish guy might be my pick simply because he might be misunderstood enough to make it. I almost turned on the closed captions.

Also, Jeff just looks creepy now with all the work done to his face. I also understand he is heavily involved in picking the contestants, so it may be time for him to go as well.

Also, the questions, were a bit of a surprise how many didn't answer. I think that early in the game, no one wants to step up for anything. Even Jeff's pet peeve questions to the audience.
I think most people forget TC was not the starter for Ole Miss last year. An assistant coach lucked up in seeing his film. Lane had him on the bench and when the starter got hurt put him in and he never looked back. Austin Simmons is now at Missouri. There are guys out there on the bench who are better than the starter. They just need game play. Rohan was a terrible practice player so Saban wouldn't start him. He shared the position with Josh Booty. It happens. Coaches aren't infallible.

re: OT Watch Bros: thoughts on Seiko?

The Grand Seiko -if you are looking in that range
We are making the trip with 6 RV's and most of us have decent TAF numbers and noneof us got tickets. We are staying at the RV park.

Constant question from the tailgate: "It's soo hot, how come the coaches all wear long sleeves and jackets?"
How do you say "What Ha Happened Wuz" with a British accent?
The kid was never going to succeed here. His price as an unproven player would have done a few things:

1. Animosity in the locker room. No one is sitting a 6-million-dollar guy on the bench.

2. It would put undue pressure on the kid. Unless he has a ton of fortitude, the pressure of being LSU's QB would be worse than what Nuss saw last year. Every throw, every sack, every roll out would be criticized if it didn't lead to a touchdown.

3. People would be really pissed when he transferred out and we paid him. Hopefully we had his deal structured correctly which I doubt.

4. We would still have BK and Sloan, making his success here almost impossible.

I always hoped he wouldn't come here. The spotlight on that kid set him up to fail. Especially with the crap regime that was here at the time.
Just my two cents; but it really seems to be the only explanation:

1. SEC was happy with Woodward and us being Mediocre in FB. SW was a team player. They are not happy with the new direction.

2. The new regime at LSU has not taken back-channel recommendations from Sankey and the SEC's preferences. When it seems that the old leadership was aligned with the SEC.

3. We swapped Woodward for Verge who was involved in the TitleIX scandal. That is a bad look.

4. We brought in Lane and how it was handled. Coaches moving in conference is not looked on favorably in the SEC.

5. We rehired Wade. The SEC did not want him back in the conference.

6. New LSU President isn't on the same page as many of the other leaders of the Universities in the SEC.

It seems to me that the new people in charge of LSU are making changes and it looks like those changes don't fit many of the SEC's preferences. This is a political move, nothing more. LSU was probably given recommendations, and we didn't take them into account.

Sankey may be taking some of this personal, but he is definitely doing what the majority of the President's want. Why else would the pushback be so hard, when other schools have done the exact same thing and are actively trying to sign the same players. Why this issue, why now?

They are trying to reign in LSU by going after the cash cow. They are trying to establish our pecking order in the conference. The SEC being unhappy with the changes at LSU is the only explanation. They were perfectly content with the prior regime. We start making changes and this escalates to a crazy level, when LSU hasn't broken any rules. This bigger than football. This is a political power play.

re: This isn't about LSU

I think it is about LSU. Woodward was a team player he at least listened to the SEC and they were Okay with LSU being average to low in football. I think they found out that they can't control tbe new regime and probably didn't get the feed back they wanted on Wade and LK. Seems like they are trying to show they still have some control to bring LSU in line. Only explanation for them voing this hard in the paint.
Apparently, the SEC is making up the rules as we go; so no. LSU didn't know the rules. It looks like no one does at this point. Since we are on "double secret probation".
That looks like a new company Musk could start to use new space age technolovy to contain all that. Call it Space XXXL
Look up Lake Speed Jr on YT, he gives you all thd testing rssults
Problem is this and other Sheridan shows do not appeal to the people who would need to watch it. He is doing great with the politics and foreign influence on this one. However, Landman he is just preaching to the choir.
I saw it this weekend and for a random Sunday showing it did have people in the theatre. I really liked it.
I took me a long time to understand why my cousin was in attendance as a baby at my Aunt and Uncle's wedding and why it took place at another Aunt's house and not in the church. My uncle adopted him, but over 59 years later they still don't talk about. My Mom won't even admit it.
On vacation in a rental Kia, wife parked it, so I didn't know quite where it was. Went to get it and there was a Hyundai exactly like it except for badging. It was parked terribly. I keep hitting the key and nothing would happen. I went check out the car and start looking around. They guys whose car it was (probably another rental) came up and wanted to know what I was doing. I showed him what was happening, his key worked. Haven't felt that stupid in a very long time.
