re: Does the NCAA have any authority anymore?

I doubt the judge even has to be alumni... the first big lawsuit made it to the Supreme Court. That decision has steered the rest of the courts towards being heavily in favor of the athlete over the NCAA.

The outfit is right, but all I see is Jean Grey in a Lara Croft costume.
I don't have a hate for Sophie Turner, but I haven't been enamored with her performances either. She's kind of like Bella Ramsey, with those early GoT moments (though Sophie had a lot more, obviously) and just seem to be riding those despite not reaching anywhere near those levels again.
Plus... and this is a nitpick I guess... but she looks older in that picture even though she's only 29. She shouldn't look that old.

Respect.
They better recreate this scene, or we all get to complain about how they didn't stay true to the characters!

actually 2025 Indiana vs 1995 Nebraska is a better comparison for "greatest team of all time". There is no question 95 nebraska was more dominant than 2019 LSU and are the goat.
Nebraska ‘95
Points Per Game: ~53.2 (576 total)
Points Allowed: ~14.5 per game
Avg. Margin of Victory: ~38.7 points
Never had a game closer than 14 points.
LSU ‘19
Points Per Game: ~48.4 (726 total)
Points Allowed: ~21.8 per game
Avg. Margin of Victory: ~26.6 points
Experienced a few closer games (e.g., 3-point win).
Fair. Alabama 2020 comes closer to matching Nebraska's domination, but still not quite:
PPG: 48.5
PAPG: 19.4
Avg MOV: 29.1
# of games within less than 14: 2
# of 1-score games: 1
Georgia's 2022 season:
PPG: 41.1
PAPG: 14.3
Avg MOV: 26.8
# of games within less than 14: 3
# of 1-score games: 2
2025 Indiana:
PPG: 41.6
PAPG: 11.7
Avg MOV: 29.9
# of games within less than 14: 6
# of 1-score games: 4
Indiana had a bigger average MOV but also had more close games; they turned it up to 11 at the end of the season though so you could argue that they may have been the most dominant post-season team ever. Depends on the perspective on what you feel is most important.

It’s wild how ate up you are with LSU.
2019 defense had grant delpit, Derek stingley jr, Rashard Lawrence, and Jacob Phillips… only team ever to never trail a 4th quarter — by whose standards is that a bad defense
They weren't "bad", but their overall performance wasn't elite - even with star players on it.
They were 31st nationally in scoring defense and 31st in total defense.
As far as "never trailing" - that's at least as much on the offense. Scoring fast and often definitely meant the defense only needed a few stops to win.
You gave up 37 or more points 4 times that year; suffice it to say, if your offense had been even slightly less prolific (but still amazing), that team loses at least 3 games.
But it WAS that prolific, so they did. But not because of their defense.

But yeah Jefferson was a low 3 star and nit even a top 200 receiver out of high school. He basically got an offer because both his brothers played at LSU. LSU was his only P4 offer.
Damn, talking about making the most out of an opportunity.
Good for him.
I don't see much info (if any) on his old 247 recruiting profile. Was he just lost in the mix and never had a shot of being evaluated?
It's not like he went to a small school, and his numbers were really good. Was it because he played both ways he didn't get properly evaluated?

Alabama football was on this list until the recent additions of Texas and Oklahoma. We need to go on some streaks against them to regain our position.
Interestingly enough, if you limit it to conference membership (starting from), Alabama is 1-2 vs Oklahoma and 0-0 vs Texas.
But that sounds like the easy way to look at it. We need 2 wins against OU to get even (3 to take the lead) and 6 against Texas (7 to take the lead).
Damn shame they didn't join in 2012 :cheers:

His former captain, Captain Ironhand. Man beat him and a lot of his crew. When they mutinied, his captain escaped and is still out there.

Well, this one has a 91% rating on RT.
Shut In was her very first movie, and the others... don't know. Was she told to fit someone else's vision or is it entirely her fault?
It doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence though...

Nah...
We hire A&M coaches directly from there so they win National Titles at Alabama; for LSU, we insist they get a couple of years in the NFL to get that out of their system before coming here and winning more titles than they did there.

Name: Abdoulaye "Good-Eye" Mahfouz
Job: Crow's Nest
Abdoulaye was born somewhere along the Barbary Coast 23 years prior, his family part of a nomadic tribe that journeyed all over North Africa. As a child anytime his tribe ventured near the shore he would gaze upon the infinite expanse with wonder, often conjuring fantastic visions of what lay beyond the horizon.
Abdoulaye grew up as a hunter within his tribe, often the first to spot game far off in the distance. His life was a simple one, as for many in the tribe, but he never gave up on his dreams of seeing what was beyond that watery horizon.
One day, about two years before our current events, Abdoulaye saw a ship set anchor off the shore. He had learned a bit of the language of these visitors over the years when they traded with his tribe, but rarely had he been there as they rowed ashore. Alone, he walked up to these men of the strange land of Eeengeland, and in a broken version of their tongue asked if he could leave with them. These men saw immediate value in him, a tall figure that was a full head above their tallest, clearly built from hunting on the plains of Africa. Soon they also learned of his uncanny ability to spot objects at great distance, and was given the nickname "Good-Eye". He has been sailing the Seven Seas ever since, finding his true calling among the waves.
That work?

I love Wrath of Kahn, but Voyage Home is my second favorite and my wife's favorite. It's the only one she'll watch multiple times (and no, not just because of the whales).
Fun tidbit: While weapons are used in every Star Trek movie with the original cast, Voyage Home only has *ONE* time a future weapon is used - to fuse a lock with a hand phaser. That's it.
