She has the facial features, but here best performance of her career will always be in the hall of Winterfell, that was great.
That was a solid scene.
However, that should have been the pinnacle of her career.

You do realize there is also a Galaxy's Edge at the park in Orlando, do you not? Disneyland is west coast, Disney World is east coast. It's a 50-50 shot as to which park this was at.
re: How many of you are actually giving up on watching college football?
Posted by RollTide1987 on 4/14/25 at 3:56 pm
I don't think I will ever give up on watching college football when it comes to Alabama. However, I don't watch nearly as many games as I used to and on many weekends I only watch Alabama play. I also haven't watched a national championship game since the 2021-22 season.

re: Casting a black actor as Snape in upcoming Potter series is just awful

I have a bigger issue with the Dumbledore casting for a show that will take 10+ years to film
Same.
While I have a very big issue with Snape's casting, I think casting John Lithgow as Dumbledore shows an absolute lack of foresight. He is going to be 80 years old here in a few months and will be 87 at minimum when season seven wraps production. Once we get up into our late-70s tomorrow becomes less of a guarantee with each passing day.
The original Dumbledore, Richard Harris, was I think 69 when he was cast and he died at the age of 72.

From a team that was in the playoff the very next year!
That only made it in because they played the worst schedule of any team in the FBS. In the regular season they played only three teams that finished with a winning record (Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio State) and didn't beat a single ranked team.

You can tell the difference watching the games?
Oh, yeah. You definitely can. All you had to do is watch how Jalen Milroe tried to tackle that OU player on his way to the end zone after throwing a pick. It was a half-assed effort.

Beating Notre Dame as a Northern Illinois fan probably felt the same as winning a championship does to a Bama fan
Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't know. However, what I do know is the Kick Six would not hit as big for Auburn fans had events played out like so:
1. Auburn beats us on what might be the greatest play in the history of college football.
2. Due to the expanded playoff, however, Alabama earns the fifth spot in the 12-team playoff despite losing the final game in heartbreaking fashion.
3. The loss is just what Alabama needed to get their mindset right and they tear through the competition in the playoffs, winning the national championship in the process, and threepeating.
4. As a result, everyone outside the Auburn fan base forgets the Kick Six even happened.
In short, losses used to matter more to BOTH teams.
First look images of BBC's new historical epic series: King & Conqueror
Posted by RollTide1987 on 4/14/25 at 12:03 pm
The series will tell the story of the Norman Conquest of England in the year 1066 and stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as William, Duke of Normandy and James Norton as Harold Godwinson, King of England. The series will also star Clemence Posey as Matilda of Flanders and Emily Beecham as Edith the Fair.
I'm actually reading a book about the Norman Conquest right now so this is very timely for me.

The BBC description reads: "King & Conqueror is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea.
"Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown."

I guarantee that game mattered a lot to a lot of people.
In the moment it sure as shite did. But what did that game do for the overall picture of college football? Nothing. Notre Dame finished the season 11-1, made the playoffs, and managed to advance their way to the national championship game. If they lose that game in 2023 there season is likely over with.

Vandy beat Bama.
Okay. So what? Alabama wasn't that great of a team last year and Vanderbilt made a bowl game and won it.
quote:
Northern Illinois beat Notre Dame and they were in the championship.
Which in normal circumstances would have killed Notre Dame's chance at a national championship. However, and this is where the perceived parity comes into play, that game ended up not mattering whatsoever thanks to the larger playoff field.
Same thing with Michigan beating Ohio State. That was the biggest upset in the history of the rivalry and ended up not meaning anything. Sure...Michigan players got bragging rights and all that jazz but Ohio State still raised the CFP Trophy at the end of the day so I don't think they really care.

Last year was the most parity weve ever seen in college football.
Perceived parity. At the end of the day, only the favorites were in the mix for the title - just like every year. The teams in the final four were Ohio State (preseason #2), Texas (preseason #4), Notre Dame (preseason #7), and Penn State (preseason #8).

When someone can pay these kids whatever they want to play for whichever school, that's the free market working.
To the detriment of the sport. There's being pro-free market for the sake of being a capitalist and there's being a pragmatist. The system as it is set up right now is absolutely 100% broken. A player should not have the ability to step in before a playoff run and demand more money or else he's sitting. That's not how that should work.

That had everything to do with his father SIGNIFICANTLY overplaying their hand by wanting a TWO MILLION DOLLAR raise for his child. And that was after Tennessee obviously agreed to their terms before the playoffs considering he ended up playing in the game.

Free market, I thought most here liked it.
The free market economy is still a regulated one. There are guardrails put in place so that no one abuses the system. Right now the system is pure anarchy. There needs to be structure.
I'm not advocating putting the genie back in the bottle and deny these players the ability to create value for themselves. I'm advocating for a structured system to regulate what is going on.
I don't care if you disagree with me or not, it makes no sense for a star player to hold his team hostage right before the playoffs for some extra cash. That should not be allowed.

And they do this because the system allows it and they’re rewarded for their behavior…so can’t really blame them
Oh, yeah. I 100% get that. The problem is there are no true leaders in positions capable of making competent decisions right now. That includes Congress, the NCAA, the conferences, and the university presidents.
The whole sport is being led by the blind at the moment. Meanwhile you have dumb asses like Nicole Auerbach and Ryan Clark telling us everything is good and this is how shite should be.

If they didn't get a payday. This includes the recently departed Tennessee QB, Nico Iamaleava, according to Josh Pate.
Everything's fine boys. The sport has never been bigger or better than it is now. Nothing to see here.

I was just about to come and post the video from YouTube. I'm about halfway into it and this man is spinning what I'm putting down. Everything he is saying is 100% on the money.
shite's getting bad because there are no good leaders in the sport right now and they seem to just be counting on people continuing to care because that's what people have always done.
