  1. We’ll see how it works out. The Cal Stadium debt is a lot of money to eat. I’m pumped for some potential ACC basketball. Go Bears!
  2. I love the idea of playing some of those schools, but this only makes sense for football and basketball. The travel would be brutal and absolute bullshit for any true student athlete that’s not being NIL compensated and is actually focused on their degree as the primary outcome of their time at Cal/Stanford. They should join ACC or Big Ten for football and basketball and go with the Big West for everything else. Anyway, it’ll be fun when all of this comes crashing down due to linear distribution declining. …and OSU and WSU are possibly screwed over. Also, UCLA kinda screwed over California taxpayers by bolting. Cal has a lot (hundreds of million$) of football related debt that will not be able to be paid off should they not be able to participate in big time college football. That’s gonna fall on the UC Regents. This was the thing that they should have thought through when they signed off on UCLA’s departure without having Cal attached to them.
  3. Just came across this… This is heartbreaking. Lou’s been the best Angels forum presence since we started out on the ESPN boards. The intensity of how much I hate cancer is met by that of how much I appreciate Lou and his contributions. He’s a really good dude and, more importantly: NOT A TROJAN. I’m praying for you, @Lou. Love you, man.
  4. This situation is so weird. Cal and Stanford are the college representatives for the 6th largest media market in the US. Then again, how important is a media market in 2023? Stanford has arguably the best overall athletic department in the country. We’ll either be part of the B1G or will be lost. It sure sounds like B1G is only going to 18, though. It’s so bizarre.
  5. I think this is my 19th season using mlb.tv, which is bananas. It became useable just at the right time for me. I think I used Extra Innings as well for a season or two around 2007, though.
  6. I was so pumped to see actual film, which is weird. The use of the full IMAX screen was just amazing. The countdown and detonation were just jaw dropping and truly induced emotion. With that said, Dolby Cinema is absolutely awesome and is in general the best way to see a movie. Atmos is so great and the in-seat subs they have definitely make a difference.
  7. Saw it in IMAX 70mm. Holy crap that’s a hell of an achievement. Absolutely wonderful.
  8. I appreciated that it took all of the technology out of the protagonist’s hands. Of course, there’s just about nothing that they can’t do anyway by franchise definition, but that was a good pivot. McQuarrie is just a really solid film maker. That train scene was straight up awesome. Yes, you could see CGI in it, but it was brilliantly executed.
  9. This one was awesome. The last four of these have been great. I could do without 2 and 3, but this franchise is where it’s at for action films. The car chase did go on too long, but I laughed at the donuts in the Fiat. It seemed they went for more laughs this time around.
  10. You should probably not go see it, which seems likely to be what happens for you. You should do something that you’ll enjoy! Cheers!
  11. It’s a good week or two for films. Headed to see the new Mission Impossible tonight and then Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX next week. Barbie looks like it’s gonna be a good watch, too.
  12. Man, he was the best. Honestly, I only think 2 (maybe 1) of those jokes wouldn’t have made it today as is, and one of them I don’t think would have made it would only have to be changed slightly.
  13. That’s definitely weird behavior by Biden. I’m sure you’d agree that such a move is reGRETAble.
  14. I loved it. They almost lost me with the third act, but this movie kicked ass. They didn’t try to reinvent the wheel or anything here and that was the right choice. It’s basically one long chase, which was perfect. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was great and her character had so much more potential as a successor to Indy than Shia LeBouf’s. With that said, I don’t think they should continue and they certainly don’t seem to try to make it set in stone like they did at the end of Crystal Skull. I honestly don’t understand the critical reaction to this film, just like I didn’t understand the critical reaction to The Little Mermaid. Like that one, the audience scores for Indy are more in line with most filmgoers’ experience. This movie hits just the note it needs to. Speaking of notes, you gotta love John Williams.
  15. Jeff Van Gundy could have told this person to stay away from a spinning jet engine.
  16. If this team keeps winning and has a legit shot, you don’t trade him unless you want this team to fall apart. He’s the guy we’d want to trade for if we felt it would get us over the hump. The thing is, he’s already here. If we had our current bullpen earlier in the year, this wouldn’t even be a discussion and we’d all be losing our shit over the team’s insane record. Everybody would be dead set on winning it all.
  17. @Jay’s intelligence gathering abilities are not nearly as robust, apparently.
