Indiana Hubris Against Bama Is a Bit Much


I haven't visited their sites, so no idea what their fans are saying.

Pundits seem to mostly think Indiana wins in a close game, with a small group predicting a blowout and another small group predicting we upset them.

Damn... imagine how many times we would have sacked Mateer if he had been available for the OU game.

To be fair, wasn't it two drives?


Colt came out during the first drive. He only played a few snaps.

Every narrative I've seen implies that because Texas drove a whopping 25 yards before he was hurt, Texas' offense was going to run roughshod over Alabama's defense.

Of course, a few folks do point out that our QB, Greg McElroy, was playing with hurt ribs (but Greg's a man and apparently Colt's a boy, so that's how it goes), which is why we only threw it 12 times to rushing it 51 times.

A healthy McElroy and Alabama probably drops 50 on Texas and no one has to listen to these inane "but if Colt didn't get hurt" theories.

We 10000000% would've won if colt hadn't got hurt. Great post.

I always find this narrative amusing as it is based on a single drive.

The TikTok star known as Epic Gamer Grandma — who had over 3 million followers across platforms — has died at 78.

The late social media star's death was announced in a post shared by her grandson, Culsans. He confirmed that his viral grandmother, whose real name is Agnes, died on Sunday, Dec. 21, holding the hand of her daughter, Pauline. He added, "She left this world the way she lived in it: surrounded by love."

The statement — which was shared to her social media pages on Tuesday, Dec. 23 — recalled how Agnes' family watched her "slowly lose her words," referring to her recent decline in health.

Culsans first started sharing details about his grandmother's condition in October, explaining why she hadn't appeared in many new videos. On Oct. 16, he noted that Agnes' Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) had "worsened significantly," and she had been taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Two days later, Culsans confirmed that his grandmother "suffered a major stroke" and would be undergoing "heavy treatment" and testing to address "an anomaly in her lungs." Just a couple weeks later, he returned to his grandmother's social media page to share yet another difficult update on Agnes' recovery.

"Her mind and speech remain seriously impaired. most sentences are either entirely illegible or simply don't make sense," Culsans wrote in a post from Nov. 6. "Her bones are in agony, and it's absolutely heartbreaking to witness. my mum and I had to take frequent breaks to have a place to both cry and digest everything and to be strong for grandma when she needed us most."

He continued, "She is practically as frail as anyone could be. and she does not look like the grandma i saw before."

In Culsans' most recent post announcing the news of Agnes' death, he honored her legacy and the widespread impact she made on millions of social media fans.

"Grandma showed that the internet doesn't only belong to the young. she showed that you can be in your seventies and still find new communities, new friendships, new ways to express yourself," he wrote. "She reminded people that our elders are not invisible. that they have stories, humour, opinions, and so much love left to give."

I understand you folks aren't really good with math and all but damned man, don't have such a hard on for Kiffin.


Yes.

Ole Miss has MORE transfers than Indiana.

Is reading comprehension even taught in Louisiana anymore?

Besides, it was literally just a comparison between the coach with the MOST transfers in relation to the coach with the LEAST transfers. I didn't even imply one was better than the other, just that one was the opposite of the other - you guys took it as a negative.

LSU fans just embrace victimhood it seems.

Ole Miss is literally at the bottom of the list.

Please take your victimhood elsewhere, it's not selling here.

AI puts indie devs who can't pay for a massive staff on a level playing field with large companies. That the "Indie Game Awards" doesn't understand this makes them a complete joke in my view. No indie game developer who wants to make the next Clair Obscur is going to care about this award moving forward. They've essentially made themselves irrelevant.


AI has a couple of years of stormy weather it has to survive; at the moment it costs way more money than it generates. It'll be interesting to see if the bubble bursts and AI comes crashing to a halt for all but the most useful iterations, or if it powers through and takes over a lot of creative endeavors.

Regarding the assistance it gives to indie devs, I see what you're saying, but at the same time if an indie company can do it so will big companies (just look at what happened with the formula used in Moneyball). If AI survives then all you're really looking at is AI taking over a lot of these jobs.

I don't see the appeal of the future James Horner being replaced by MusicGPT.

I expect to see him back as well as ScarJo, Vision, etc. Deadpool Vs Wolverine, Loki, Multiverse of Madness, Eternals, etc has been setting up alt universes for the last 3 years to fold in Fantastic Four and X-Men, so why wouldn't you bring Chris Evans back?



I could see a lot of potentially awkward "multiverse" reunions where characters meet up with versions from other universes.

Like Yelena meeting Natasha
Loki meeting Thor

Honestly, there's going to be so much potential for this you almost NEED Deadpool just so he can look to the audience and explain WTF is going on


It really sucks they screwed up She-Hulk... her and Deadpool doing a 4th wall break together, if written well, could've been pretty damned funny but I don't trust them doing anything well with that character.

You guys are, of course, welcome to be excited about the future.

That said, after the rest of us being told we were scared after you hired:

Orgeron
Kelly
and now Kiffin

You have to admit you can't expect us to do much other than roll our eyes at the 37,985,409th post titled "SEC SCARED!"

Not surprising if that’s accurate. Kirby has made it clear that he doesn’t think the transfer portal is the way to build for long-term success.

"I don't want to have to go to the portal, I don't think it's a great avenue to success, to be honest with you. I don't think you can sustain that way, you have to build from it within."

This basically makes him the anti-Kiffin.

This appears to be the only predictable thing in the NIL era... get a huge payday and suddenly drop off the earth.

You would think we got blown out. Belt to arse? Lol it was a 10-3 game. Overreactions.


Home games are generally considered to be worth 3 points.

That puts this on par with LSU's performance in the 2011 National Championship Game.

Oof.

I would hope it's well known he's the voice of Mufasa in The Lion King

He was also pretty funny in Coming to America... I don't know if he had a lot of comedic performances before that, but it proved he could handle that type of timing as well.

When something like this comes up, I always think back to Gary Coleman. That dude was everywhere with Diff'rent Strokes and was making a frickton of money, but even though it was supposed to have been locked in a trust his parents somehow managed to piss away most of it by the time he was old enough to access the trust.

Estimates are his net worth when he died was around $75k


The simple fact of the matter is that, at least back then, there were no protections for child actors. I don't have problem with kids being in TV, movies, etc... but only if they're protected.

I remember how the kids doing the Harry Potter movies were still going to school and a lot of steps were taken to ensure they still had (as much as possible) regular kid lives. We may or may not agree with their politics, but that none of the big names ever went down alcohol or drug spirals is a pretty good testament that they needed that protection.

I'd need to do some catching up to see if kids are better protected these days; if not, it seems an easy fix. Who would vote no to that? (Though I'm sure someone will jump in and scream *insert political party here*)
Slide Ole Miss, Georgia, and Oklahoma over to our side and call it the SEC's own "playoff committee" and it's more in tune with current events.
