re: Is Auburn a fun road trip?

Auburn is a fun weekend for a game. Especially if your friends have never been before. Plenty of things to get into. Most AU fans are friendly and hospitable. The stadium atmosphere will be raucous for the UF game.

The Rams weren't in this game. I'm not counting them out.


They were in it deep into the 3rd quarter. If they score on 4th and goal from the 1 then its a 3 point game going into the 4th. But they couldn't punch it in, and then a fumble on their next possession ended any chances of a comeback. The 9ers were the better team obviously, but it wasn't some kind of beatdown.
A big problem these days is that everyone wants so badly to be "right" and to be the ones that get to say "I told you so!!"

Its not a productive mindset, and it drives us apart mostly.

This is where I am leaning as well.



So the same plot as A Ghost Story?

And now you've got Lane Kiffin lurking.

Kiffin understands the SEC. He understands recruiting in the South. He understands the portal. He understands offense. He understands how to sell a program


This is his 8th year "lurking in the SEC." What does he have to show for it? Do you think that if LSU beats Bama this year that things are just going to fall apart for Deboer as a result? Bama could lose in Baton Rouge and still make the playoffs, and it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Dabo and Clemson sucking and LSU beating the shite out of them has nothing to do with DeBoer and Bama. There isn't a parallel there. Dumb post.


How is Kansas supposed to be this season? I'm assuming bad, but could this be a good game?

re: Yellowstone experiences

My parents, gf, and I were out there last week. My parents had never been, and I wanted them to see it. They were mind blown. It was an amazing trip. The weather was absolutely fantastic. I probably sweated more exiting the airport and walking to our lyft when we got back to Pensacola than I did the entire time we were out there.

We stayed between Pine Creek, and Pray, close to Livingston, so it was a good bit of driving-we basically did the entire park, but it wasn't too bad, and totally worth it. I personally would rather be driving in a stunning area taking in the scenery and passively looking for wildlife than sitting on the couch in the airbnb.

We hiked the south rim trail of the canyon to Clear Lake, and back to the car. It was a great hike, and not too strenuous. We also hiked a few miles of specimen ridge trail, which was beautiful.

We saw 2 grizzlies on Monday-a female down in a valley where Cub Creek runs through, in the east side of the park, east of Yellowstone Lake, and a male coasting across the plains in Hayden Valley.

We also saw mountain goat, big horned sheep, hundreds of pronghorn, elk, and bison. Bald eagles, red tailed hawks, kestrels, northern harriers, osprey, white pelicans, all kinds of ducks, marmot, and even a coyote eating on a dead bison.

The traffic wasn't really that bad at all. Never had to wait more than a few minutes at the entrance.

Hope y'all are having fun OP!

I gotcha. I'd say that his style isn't quite as simple as "satire" and "bits", but more of a blurry line between satire, reality, and fiction. His awkwardness, and ability to create super awkward situations is a big part of his comedy. Very smart, clever dude. Might be a tad on the spectrum.

It won't be anything like Borat, I can guarantee you that.

If you have no clue who Nathan Felder is or what he does, then you're way in the dark as far as speculating, or having much of an opinion on what it will be. I'm not trying to be a douche, I'm just saying that his comedic/filmmaking style is very different, and much more unique than basically anyone else. I highly doubt that his goal is to "humanize a con artist" in the way you are thinking. Its pretty hard to know exactly what this film will be all about.

yeah it probably was, I was kind of passively watching while I was working at home, which isn't a great way to watch something.

the low budget effects are dated, but the performances and story are still top tier.


Totally agree, but I do think that a new adaptation could potentially be fun to watch, and introduce a lot of younger folks to the story.
