F1: The Movie
Posted by Broadside Bob on 6/8/26 at 7:38 am
Was it supposed to be a comedy?
It did keep me entertained for 2 hours, mostly laughing. Characters were entertaining, but it's completely implauusible of anything you might see in F1 or motorsports in general.

re: "Justified" is a better show than"Breaking Bad"

Agree that it was excellent but never watched Breaking Bad so cannot fairly comment there.
While I did like it a lot, I only watched Season 1. Started Season 2, but it was too dark for my taste.

Look i love Cam like everyone else does, it just really bothers me seeing people say Cam had NO HELP. Yea I get it no one besides him on offense went to the nfl. But darvin adams, t Zach, Emory Blake, kodi, dyer, mccalebb, & the entire OLINE were really good college players. Ive seen this over the years of people talking down about these guys. It bother anyone else?
Doesn't bother me, but I thought that was one of the most interesting teams ever to watch grow and develop over the season. IMHO, largely they weren't that good the first few games, but they started playing up to Cam's level. The D definitely improved A LOT, holding Oregon to 19 points at the natty.

I still can’t believe what went on with Dyer. He had everything he needed to be a stud. You don’t see very many true freshman RBs go over 1000 yards on the ground especially in major conferences.
That great season (breaking Bo's freshman rushing record, and winning the BCS game MVP) was probably the worst thing that could have happened to him at that stage of his life. What a knucklehead.

Georgia Tech- former SEC member 222-0 Cumberland football 0 in 1916, no one will come close to matching that lopsided blowout.
What a bullshite statistic and embarrassing they claim that. Cumberland didn’t even have a football team that year. They legit put together a bunch of kids to go out and play that one game because Tech enforced a contract to play, after Cumberland embarrassed them in baseball.
I wanna say the Cumberland baseball coach picked up the kids to go play so the school didn’t have to pay like $5,000 not to play in it after they had previously cancelled the football program.
The rest are legit accomplishments
Well, it is in the record books. I think I have read that the football game was GT's payback for Cumberland bringing in a number of ringerss and trouncing Tech in baseball.
Who knows the name of Tech's now famous coach for that game? Hint, he also coached at Auburn and Clempson.

So I’m hoping you were being facetious when you said no one wanted him fired and that he is the best coach we’ve ever had.
in reality, he might have been the best coach we ever had. He was a 65-70% win percentage against the toughest competition that we ever faced week in and week out with our two biggest rivals being at their absolute best in their histories. Who would you argue is above him? Tuberville? Tubs was solid but he was roughly the same win percentage against much inferior opponents with Alabama being the worst they were in 30 years.
I don't disagree, ultimately, parting ways with Gus. My problem is that we did it on a throwaway Covid year that meant jack shite and we have been cursed since.
Well, it's taken AT LEAST 5 years to upgrade from Gus. Certainly hoping Comrade Golesh does well, but right now, he hasn't won even one game for us.
I always thought Gus was a goober, but he was OUR goober.

I don't really get the uproar. At the end of the day, the social media teams are cheerleaders.
Were any of yall at every 2012 home game in Jordan Hare? Imagine if the cheerleaders and tigerpaws called it quits.
Yeah, but there is a line between being a cheerleader and excessive social media hyping. Cheerleaders have a well-defined role on gamedays and at official events. Social media teams (not just AU) are pressing too hard at every opportunity. I'm still embarrassed about all the football natties we won/claimed last year; that's stooping to bammer levels.
As for 2012, I was there for every snap of every game. Stayed to the final whistle against A&M (the night JFF hung 60+ on us) and the Iron Bowl.

and that strike wasn't even from Iran
Event I was going for has been cancelled so we're not going. U.S. State Department raised their travel advisory from 1 (normal precautions) to 3 (reconsider travel) and have ordered non-essential embassy personnel out as well as family of all staffers.
I still wouldn't expect a large impact on Cyprus from the conflict, even less as it progresses over the next few weeks. Still, disappointing, but it is what it is.

Thank you both for your responses. That pretty much where I was landing. Afterall, I don't think anyone crossed London off their tourist destinations in the early 2000s when bombs were going off on buses and on the tube. Just needed a reasonability check.
Late March/early April trip to Cyprus
Posted by Broadside Bob on 3/2/26 at 3:26 pm
In light of current events (U.S./Israel vs, Iran war), would y'all still go?
U.S. State Department still lists Cyprus as Level 1, exercise normal precautions. For context, France has long been Level 2, increased caution.
The State Department web site does have a statement issued today about possible drone attacks in the Paphos region (where we're going), but it sounds like they're most worried about attacks on the U.S. embassy.
To me, Cyprus wouldn't seem like a very valuable target for the Iranians, but that assumes a level of rationality on their part. It is out of range of all but their longest range ICBMs. At worst, I would expect Iran's war fighting capability to be severely diminished over the next few weeks, if they're not soundly defeated very soon (days/couple of weeks).
We are NOT travelling as part of a group so we'll be pretty low profile.
Plane tickets are already bought, and I can still cancel hotel and AirBnb arrangements so I wouldn't want to pull the plug at this point even if we were to bail.
Thoughts?
To be clear, I am VERY happy that someone is finally willing to take Iran off the table. Been a LONG time coming.

I’m curious if they too have a center in India that will be taking some of the work. It’s the new trend.
New?
Exactly. Nothing new about offshoring. Workers in this country want a $15/hr minimum wage, healthcare, paid family leave, workers comp coverage, retirement plans, etc.. OTOH, there's some guy in India or Singapore who will bust his arse doing the same job for $3/hr. Does quality decrease? Maybe, but for that kind of savings, companies must consider it.
Now we get AI coming along, that, in addition to all of advantages of offshoring, is cheaper still, doesn't take lunch breaks, nights off, weekends off, or vacation. Doesn't call in sick or steal from you either.

Tuberville basically winning a national title and pounding UA when he was supposed to.
Tubs was a huge beneficiary of a low point at Alabama (probation and poor coaching hires). Gus faced Bama at their very best in history and fared better than any other coach in the country. FWIW.
That said, I still maintain the 2004 Auburn and Tubs could have beaten an all-star team from USC and OU for the natty. Got totally hosed on that one.
