Do people really buy their tickets to see a movie weeks/months in advance? I’m sure we will take the kids to see it but we won’t buy tickets until the day of.

If anything, this encourages parents to hold their kids back. Most kids graduate HS at 18.

Good way to send a player to a rival who doesn't want them to do that.

I can’t speak for all schools but Kiffin has stated that he isn’t paying top dollar for HS kids unless he sees a path for them to play as freshman. He says you pay the kids to come out of HS, they don’t play, then they get in the portal. It’s dead money that doesnt even pay off a couple of years down the road.

I say this meaning that at least some schools are already letting guys they would have historically recruited hard walk to rivals because they’d rather pay a proven portal guy than a kid who will ride the bench for a couple of years out of HS.

The new rule states that a player has 5 years to play 5 seasons starting either at enrollment OR at the age of 19.

Do you think colleges will tell kids that graduate HS at 18 to take a development year and just train and then enroll as 19 year olds?

To add to this, do you think development leagues will be created as a one year stop gap for kids not wanting to start their college clock yet but still want game action?

Everytime any law or rule is passed, there are always unintended consequences and I wonder if this will be one of them.

Either that or he knows they will make a mistake along the way and he can escape. But I think his current plan is just to stay alive until opportunity shows itself.

I say this as someone truly not in the know, buy why the bias towards the west coast for the US team? First game was in LA. Second game in Seattle. Third game back in LA. Then in SF, followed potentially by two more west coast games. I'm sure fans in other parts of the country would love to see a US "home" game too. I get not playing one game in LA...then Miami...then KC. But the flight time from LA to Seattle is not all that much shorter (~30 minutes give or take) than LA to Dallas, Houston, KC.

I wonder the same thing. I have not looked into it but maybe each group was assigned a region of the continent?

If you have small, mobile scorpions you can have a thousand of them at the head of any large host which would make any dragon relatively useless against them. You’d invert the dynamics of warfare in this world.

My point is maybe they work on a small dragon like Vermax but would bounce off Caraxes

The bastard has been on screen for well over an hour sulking about how bitter he is at his daddy, but seeing him get tossed into the water makes him go on an ultimate rage of vengeance?

I get mad at my wife and kids and sometimes for an extended period. If a mfer tries to harm them watch me switch attitudes real quick.

Dumbass Jace defies his mother and goes out and gets himself and Vermax killed with his false bravado.

This is the main issue with this show. They keep trying to make everyone out to be noble, good people by making the bad things they do more of a happenstance or misunderstanding. The issue with that is it makes all the characteers stupid. I'd rather have a situation where Rhaenyra makes the call to send in moondancer and Vermax for a strategy reason than it be the queen being held hostage while her dumbass son pretends to be a hero.

Overall, this show is more story/action driven than character driven. Lucky for them, Dragon warfare is entertaining enough to deal with the nonsenscial decisions everyone makes time and time again.

Hopefully after Jace dies they will have Rhaenyra go fully off the rails like the books. This story needs a true villain and she is it.

All very good. Toy Story may be the best overall movie franchise ever

Can we not have the opinion that

1) you shouldn’t say racist shite

2) this rule is gay af and in line with Europes policing of language online which is 100% oppression of its people.

Meaning I have no issue with slurs being ejectable offenses. But Europe keeps tightening the leash of government overreach and this is just another example. Just the possibility that you might say something uncanny gets you ejected. Doesn’t matter if you were just talking strategy or anything else.
