Can this be applied retroactively? Maybe up to someone’s grandfather?
Another movie, but Color of Money had a big influence on popularizing the game of pool.


As for TV shows, Frazier and Friends were likely influenced by and influenced the growth of the trendy coffee shop.
What a great story. Thank you for sharing.

I have seen the movie several times and also have it on disk. The scenes on the train are great. Always laugh about Sha-na-na being included. Love the extras especially the lesser known tracks like Ian & Sylvia doing CC Rider and Lazy Days by the Flying Burrito Brothers.

2011 was an abomination.

The pro-Bama media jihad created a situation where LSU’s reward for beating Bama in the “Game of the Century” was having to play another top ten opponent in UGA, beat them, and then beat Alabama again.

Bama’s penalty for losing on its home field to LSU was a free pass into the national championship game.

In essence, LSU had to go 3-0 vs Bama twice and UGA once. Bama simply had to go 1-1.

That’s the day college football started it’s decline. The so called “playoff” is nothing more than a made for TV invitational

This is kinda like telling all the LSU fans who moved to Texas for work that they should cheer for the Aggies.

I'm about over this show at this point. We are on Episode 5 now. It's an 8 episode season. Well over half way done. They are just dragging and they keep adding on and adding on. Episode 5 introduces another whole bunch of new people and again its like it is a different show. That is twice this season.


Haven’t seen episode 5 yet….but I do remember last season we had the flashback episode of the librarian midway through the season. He was a character that was only seen in passing but became kinda important.

For those that may not know or remember, last season the NIT told South Alabama they had a bid to their tournament…only to take it away when a team that had previously declined decided they wanted to play.

USA had won the Sun Belt regular season championship last year.

Honestly, I don’t find Big Jake any worse because Bruce Cabot played an “indian”. Same with Jeff Chandler in Broken Arrow.

why are they still underground? Seems they could go topside. Does Sinatra have a reason she wants them to stay underground for a while?


Iirc, when the bartenders wife radioed in to say they found survivors, Sinatra sent Billy out to eliminate them. So yes, she didn’t want the folks in the bunker to know of those outside.






(Minor spoiler)


In the latest episode as Sinatra was talking to the baby, she told him that he would see the real stars some day…

Ali Lauder's character in Landman. Do you know anyone who acts this way in real life?


Dated a girl who looked and acted in a very similar manner. She was popping Adderall like tic tacs. The good times were great, but she could flip in an instant over the smallest thing.

Great movie.

Another Denzel movie I like but haven’t seen mentioned is Ricochet with John Lithgow.

I was bummed with episode 4…. Just kinda felt like a wasted episode outside of like the last 2 minutes where I went oh something I really care about for what this show has been.


I can see why you’d say that…because you do kinda get that feeling it’s filler while watching it - but then BOOM, it hits. I’d say the last five minutes of the episode makes everything you just watched matter to you.

I won’t give spoilers. But I will say that I was a little skeptical about the first two episodes and where the series was headed. It looks to be back on track.

That 6-way tiebreaker is rough. Arkansas State, 11-7, starts Thursday. Marshall, 11-7, starts Sunday.



Have to agree this is a huge issue with this format. The SBC at the least needs to address the regular season schedule to get better tie-breaking procedures.

Last year they had a four-way tie for first place.

I’ll 2nd (or 3rd) that episode 3 was much better than the first two. But season 1 was still so great I’m willing to give them they benefit of the doubt.

Just finished the first 3 episodes of the new season. They are definitely setting up some crazy storylines.



I hope that’s a good thing.

I have seen a lot of shows with a great premise and well-executed first season, that totally went off the rails by adding crazy or mystical elements to the stories.

That offends me as a comedian.
I’m certainly not in Andre The Giant Territory,
much less Wade Boggs, but at one point I was a pretty bad “habitual” drinker. I never drank at work, but would have at least a 12 pack of beer or the equivalent in hard liquor every night. Went on for about three or four years.

One particular weekend I recall, I started drinking before 7 am on a Saturday morning with LSU playing that night
On CBS. At halftime, I went to the Circle K to get what would be my fifth 12 pack, but my driver’s license had expired the day before and they wouldn’t sell it to me! My friend tried to buy it for me, and they claimed they couldn’t sell it to him cause they knew it was for me. Grabbed a 4-pack of 16 oz instead.


FWIW, a couple years later, I quit cold turkey for 18 months. Got in an exercise routine. Felt much better. Now I’ll drink sometimes, but nowhere near as much.
