No reason every teams needs to make tournament. Top 10 modified Dbl Elim format is best way to do it. This will be proven Iover next few years.

This or as much as I love the tournament being played in Hoover, move it to somewhere like Nashville if it’s going to stay single elimination. I would definitely make that trip to see a game and if we lose just enjoy the city.

SEC Tournament Attendance

Posted by The Ostrich on 5/19/26 at 3:21 pm

This is just a random thought. I don’t know if the attendance numbers are publicly available but do y’all think moving to a single game elimination tournament hurts the overall attendance of the tournament?

Going to Hoover was a really big part of my childhood. Some really good memories watching baseball all day, many times till midnight. Haven’t gone as frequently as an adult but have made the trip a few times. I was thinking about going this year just cause I had the time to but with it being on single elimination I can’t really see the point in driving all that way to potentially see just one game.

I honestly felt bad for her because she was really innocent in all this. Bear turned her into a monster.

She’s was basically a prisoner. Between the phone call and what she was saying while she was asleep I keep wondering where her consciousness went. The phone call made me think she was somewhere surrounded by total darkness or maybe observing everything that was happening without having any control.

Just walked out the theatre. Thought it was awesome. Actress that play Nikki was phenomenal. Some really funny moments, the phone call in the car was hilarious. Her hiding in the corner was pretty great too but the whole movie was genuinely creepy and scary af. This dude is gonna be huge in the horror genre.

A true ace. A guy that comes in and gives you 6+ that can locate 3+ pitches and can strike a guy out with any of them. Homeruns are fun and get the crowd going but imo there is nothing better than watching a guy absolutely carve up opponent hitters. The level of excitement waking up on a Friday in 2023 knowing Skenes throwing was the same as waking up on Saturday during football season. Makes the beers colder.

Very jealous of y'all. Don't think I am going to be able to make it this weekend. Might try and go to a midweek showing next week but I've had this one on my board since I heard he was directing a full length feature. Reading the reviews it sounds like It's as good as I expected it to be.

I havent watched a trailer. I dont want any detail spoiled about the film. I bought my One Wish Willow when they were announced. Ill be seeing the movie on Saturday.

I'm trying to go either Friday but the only time I can make it is the 10:25pm showing which is a little late. Might end up going Saturday as well.

Obsession (Curry Barker)

Haven't seen any post about this movie yet. Is anyone else really excited for this one?
Curry Barker directing. I have been following the "That's a Bad Idea" YouTube channel for a few years now and they've got some really good comedy skits and well as some well-done short form horror. If you haven't watched their found footage horror movie on YouTube I highly suggest you do so. It's titled Milk and Serial.

Reviews for Obsession are great so far if that means anything to you. Think Barker is also connected to a new adaptation of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre but I could be mistaken. Either way I could definitely see this guy becoming one of the next big horror directors.

Probably this cause of how good we were said to be before the season and now missing the post season altogether. Honestly we could’ve lost every single game in 2020 and it wouldn’t have bothered me. That just how good that 2019 season was.

Is Taylor Sheridan still involved? I'm honestly tired of all the spinoffs and beating the dead Yellowstone horse over and over. That spinoff with Luke Grimes was absolutely brutal, couldn't make it through the first episode. Couldn't really get into Landman either.......That being said if they ever make a Red Dead series having him involved in some capacity wouldn't be a horrible idea.

Ngl I binged it tonight. Thought it was pretty good. It’s also been years since I read the book so idk how much it sticks to that. My only real complaint is what previous posters said. Theres just some strange camera work which I noticed pretty much 3 minutes in.

We've used bug pest/bug removal and landscapers before buts it's usually guys that are already in the neighborhood working and have multiple houses they do at a time.
