Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[drvenner]

I guess I just don't think you and I know enough to say that KNS held this story until an opportune time. Just because they declined the raises weeks or months ago does not mean those cuts were put on paper that would make it FOIA-able until recently. I just think you're taking some information and making it fit your narrative.

I've FOIA'd contracts before - the University has ways to slow play and delay the process.

Also, I don't really buy the idea of a "hit piece," at least not in this context. Toppemeyer wasn't advocating for outrage or for a result. He was simply saying, "I found this and confirmed it. Now it's public record."

It's easy to point fingers at the media when the real fingers should be pointed at the assholes who didn't take one for the team.

Blake and KNS get their share of the blame. It was, like most of his hot takes, designed to make the football program look bad. Admittedly, the coaches who kept their money when they knew everyone was asked to make sacrifices is totally on them. I don't blame the lower salaried guys nearly as much.

"Is it cold in here or is it just Hugh?"

Song just came on the radio:
10th Avenue Freeze Out. Sign from God

 

[drvenner]

Just heard on ESPNU radio:

Tennessee has never lost 5 games in a row by 10+ points. That is in jeopardy Saturday.

Coach Jeremy Pruitt. Setting all kinds of records up in here. What is especially bad about this one will be that Arky and Kentucky were part of this ignominious streak.

Any of you guys seen Arkansas with Vince Vaughn on Amazon prime? I liked it in a weird this sucks but is good kinda way.

I thought it was fantastic. Clark Duke's directorial debut, he killed it.

The 80’s was not only the best decade for movies but the best decade overall, imo.

list can keep going honestly lol such a fantastic era for film. I think the 90s probably is better for music (imo at least) and I might give the 2000s or 2010s the nod for television.

 

[Weezer]

Agreed. But I've never been a huge blonde guy.


First film I remember seeing boobs, Just One of the Guys (how was that PG-13?!?)

LOL, can't say I recall the exact first time, but man, Phoebe Cates boobs in Fast Times at Ridgemont High will always be a highlight.

Recently saw Arkansas with Sam Pittman. The ending sucked.

 

[bignewt]

Brawl in Cell Block 99 / Vince Vaughn. It's on Prime at the moment. Very good one.

Same director as Bone Tomahawk which is a must watch if you have not seen.

Coach Jeremy Pruitt. Setting all kinds of records up in here. What is especially bad about this one will be that Arky and Kentucky were part of this ignominious streak.

I should note that they did seem to give Vols a good chance in the game. They said they think Pruitt enjoys coaching against Gus. That’s how little they think of Gus I guess.

It goes from God to Kent to the cleaners.

Miami Connection is an all time classic

 

[MoCo_Vol]

For all the Christopher Nolan fans here if you haven't watched The Prestige you are missing out. It's his best work in my opinion and one of my all time favorites.

Fantastic flick, I think for me there's a top 3 Nolan films and depending on mode it changes what I'd say is his best work. The Prestige, Memento, Inception.

I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright, and Guillermo del Toro also as directors.

 

[franklinpence]

Falling Down
3:10 to Yuma (recent remake)
Hotel Rwanda
Reservoir Dogs
Anything by C Nolan
Hoosiers
Fandango
The Untouchables
Seven

I’ll also watch any of these if they’re on:

Enemy of the State
Red Dawn
Patriot Games
Braveheart
Original Star Wars trilogy
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Dances with Wolves

I’m a big Vince Vaughn fan. I think he saved it. It has a cult classic kinda vibe to it, which I’m a fan of.

Red Dawn (the original) and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Damn, just stopped by to see if anything might be football related but now I'm just gonna go pop some popcorn. Not sure why I have that craving
