re: Coach O is coming back!

Do some of y’all not realize we are talking about an assistant position and not the head coach. It’s been out for like a week now that Kiffin wants him to come with him.
I don’t know why they cut so much if that out. Sounds like it was great dialogue and that Candy nailed it.

But VG is a fricking master of building things up and delivering great payoffs. So I'm not sure why so many people seem to have lost faith in him three weeks into his new show. It's fricking weird.


YES! Thank you! I can't wrap my mind around bashing the first few episodes of a VG show for being slow. It is Gilligan's standout style and he has earned so much more trust than that.
It pains me to say it, but I feel we have a 0% chance of winning this game. I don't think I have ever felt this way about a game. I am wondering if anyone gives us a chance, and if so, make the argument. I hate feeling this way and would love to be talked out of it.
Does he always seem uncomfortable in press conferences because he seemed incredibly uncomfortable the whole time there?

The belief in a pre-trib rapture is an incredibly novel teaching in Christianity and is almost certainly false.

No spoilers, but is this show worth starting? MTV board saved me from Sons of Anarchy.


That's not easy to answer after only 4 episodes. But our household are big Gilligan fans, and we are into it. I'd give the first episode a try. It starts with a bang and explains a good bit of what is happening, so if you watch that and are not a fan, then it probably isn't for you. Otherwise, the people involved do not typically make crap so my confidence remains high.
I mean isn’t Gilligan kind of known for the slow burn. Breaking Bad certainly had its fast paced moments but in between was a lot of set up and aftermath. BCS was the definition of a slow burn. Why does everyone think it needs to be a fast paced story right out of the gate.
It’s not like he hasn’t been a position coach for the bulk of his career. I feel like he’s kind of content with what he achieved in 2019 as a head coach. He’s probably low on money and seems to still genuinely love LSU and the fans still love him so why not finish his coaching days here. Makes complete sense to me.
It’s possible that I’ve played more Desert Strike more any other video game in my life. Granted I haven’t played much as an adult but I wore Desert Strike out as a kid.
Do Ken Burns documentaries put anybody else to sleep. I do not at all men they are boring. I love them. But something about the music and filmography relaxes me a little too much.
Oh man, that’s a take. I god awful take but it’s a take.
Downvotes incoming but:

1. Shapiro
2. Megyn Kelly
3. Knowles

And although he despises Trump Charles W Cook thinks things out very well and I enjoy his takes.


re: Pluribus, a Gilligan Turd.

Good grief. I get that the 3rd episode slowed down the momentum (still not bad tv though) but the opening pair of episodes were incredible. To call it a turd at this point is a complete overreaction. Especially when considering who is involved.

Based on a lot of Jewish people I know, that's fairly accurate. And on the pre-marital sex stuff...maybe he's a California Jew.


But he isn't just a Jew, he is a Rabbi. He even said in one of the episodes that the words of God are "VERY important to him" setting himself apart as a deep believer. He is almost willing to call off the relationship if she does not convert. So, just jumping into bed with no conflict of conscience seems inconsistent to me. But at the end of the day it's a romcom and not a deep drama about religious conscience.
quote:

How was the series now that more episodes have dropped? I’ve heard a few people say they are more disappointed the more that come out.


I mean, there have only been three episodes and the first two came out as a set. The third episode slacked off but there are not really enough episodes out to show a trend. Not all episodes are going to be bangers. Some are going to set things up. Surely Gillian has fostered a little more confidence than that.
Even when we all wanted him fired we never hated him. Quite the opposite. I’ll love him until the day I day for 2019.

That is complete BS. There is phenomenal “country music” being made right now. It’s just that most of it is not on the radio or being featured on the CMT awards.
Come on. He won a NC and got us to another. Most teams would consider that a great hire.

One thing is for sure: saying the villain was over the top is an understatement. I still liked everything else, though.
