re: Just don't see Cam Ward as an overall Number 1,

Posted by TheFunk on 4/24/25 at 10:10 pm

I mean he’s a tremendous athlete but not a great passer… at least not what they’re used to from passers.

They just drafted Penix last year. No way.

We are, in fact, not.

First inning felt a little squeezed, but agree. I think he’s been decent both ways since then.

I have had no issues with the in-TV ESPN app, at least through my Samsung TVs.

The fire stick app repeatedly kicks me out and 80% of the time, even after I successfully login, cycles me back to the login screen. It’s a nasty loop and I’ve basically been forced to watch from the iPad.

re: give the reigns of the team to Tasmin the rest of the year. Let McM go tonight.

I would rather the players hate him and win.

It honestly can’t get worse than it is. I’m in.

Win and they will come. I guess it shouldn’t be surprising the fans don’t come out in droves to support a mid (at best) to consistently bad product.

End it now. He’s not it.

He’s a good mid-major coach and a good guy.

He’s not our guy.

And coaching- 39 seconds on last possession and get final awful shot off with 15 seconds left.

Inability to draw and execute a play makes watching games insufferable.

re: Matt McMahon is embarrassing

This last possession was awful to witness. Players played hard but coaching is atrocious.

I actually enjoyed the Matarese Circle more than the Bourne series, which you were right about. The books share nothing with the book besides the name of the main character.

re: Per Lonn, LSU has raised NIL to upwards of $618 million

Posted by TheFunk on 12/17/24 at 7:34 pm

That’s a mighty big decimal to miss though.

It is in the first one. I just started Messiah and am five chapters in. I’ve had to read, and re-read the same passages bc some of this shite is really out there.

atleast they were smart enough not to rush the field

The “Jumbotron” said “Anyone who rushes the field will be arrested.” And they reminded everyone multiple times. After all the years we’ve heard about Florida police being ticket happy, this makes sense that their fans weren’t about to FAFO.

There also was a huge police presence behind the LSU bench that prevented the ppl who initially started moving toward the sidelines. Don’t know if it was like that around the entire stadium.

Also my first trip. Same thing about the fans - much better than expected. A few UF fans congratulated me on the 2018-2023 run. I knew it had to come to an end too but didn’t think it would be last night.

The jorts - I also expected more. It’s like they traded them in for the orange and blue striped overalls.

I also understand what Saban was saying when he implied that UF needs upgraded facilities to keep up in the arms race. Maybe we didn’t see the right part of campus but nothing looked like it had a facelift since it was built.

Edit - after a flag, the chants were cheesy bad. “You suck. Back it up!” was elementary.

But the DJ playing Boosie’s “Set it Off” right before time expired during the last TO made me smile. Didn’t notice any other trolling by him otherwise.

re: Why was Lacy yelling at Kelly?

Posted by TheFunk on 11/16/24 at 6:48 pm

Did Kelly deserve being yelled at?

One thing about Brian Kelly is it’s fun to watch his offenses once they start humming.

Just a shame it takes a few weeks to start the year each year… but once they get going they’re really going.

also, the dude was trashing his own fans for being weird. it's one thing for fans of other schools to joke about them, but it's strange a coach employed by the university goes out of his way to do it.

I have not seen this anywhere. Just did a quick search. Do you mind linking? All the “Jim Schlossnagle comments on Aggie fans” searches return articles from two days ago about the fans getting into it with Florida’s dugout.
