I actually liked season 2 a bunch though, and yet somehow most show fans don’t seem to like that one.

If you'd been part of the monthly threads related to The Wire on this board some 15 years ago, you'd remember that season 2 was considered the GOAT by most of this board.

I do a re-watch every year. The wife bought me the DVD boxset for Christmas in 2008, and I still listen to the CD that was included - on occasion. :lol:

It's not up to me to say that something is the greatest, but it's definitely my favorite series of all time. This is a series that really requires a re-watch and even multiple times to understand the depth of so many characters. I have a different favorite season after every re-watch. Hell, I'm probably the only one that also loves season 5. A lot of people dislike season 4 with the schools, but it's probably my favorite overall.

I'll also add that The Wire basically replaced Oz in the HBO lineup at the time and I was so disappointed in the first episode that I turned if off. Fast forward to a random Wednesday night in 2004 and I stop on HBO sometime during season 3 and become completely hooked after 20 minutes. I immediately update my Netflix ( dvd by mail ) que to add The Wire to the top. I blow through the first 2 seasons and it's been my favorite ever since.

Sorry for your loss. I just saw his LSU picture from the WMHS IN REMEMBRANCE group on FB.

So Alabama should be penalized for making and losing in the SEC Championship game while 2 loss Oklahoma and I guess potentially Vanderbilt (depending on today’s chaos) get in?

---

Yes, they should be penalized with a loss. They also should be rewarded with a win by moving to the top of the 2 loss teams. It really shouldn’t be this complicated.

Had a feeling this was going to happen to the Tioga guy

That was another offer that did not compute. I believe that he was offered the day after BK was fired.

Does Lane think he’s overrated or what?

It may sound mean, but 6' 180# WRs grow on trees in this state.
With the thing going on with Frank, it looks like CLK is re-evaluating recruting in state.

And this is the WM homer in me, but if Trez Davis is not good enough to get an offer, then Lane is really changing up the skill position recruiting at LSU.

I don't know many of the kids names. Mine graduated 3-5 years ago. I'm still a fan and go to the games. Whereas our talent seemed to favor the defensive side of the ball in the past, this year - it was clearly on the offensive side.

I think that he recently received an offer from Arkansas. Either way, he’ll probably be back on the market in 2 years.

coke doesn't make you delirious and delusional like that. Sure it may make you want to fight someone, but sanchez being adamant that this dude isn't going to take the oil from the kitchen is so bizarre it can't be coke. That's gotta be something more meth-like.

Part of his defense, will be that his drink was spiked by someone else in the bar. To be the least bit concerned that a man is doing his job in a work truck and where he is parked and then doing wind sprints in the alley before attacking the guy is one of the strangest things ever. It's like when it takes 5 cops to take down a guy on PCP.

Come on! That's a $200 / 20 minute fix on your part if you want a new motor. Even if you don't own tools or are not mechanically inclined, you know someone that can do this easily for a couple of beers while they work. :dude:
