  1. They did; replaced him with a British Supercup champion named Abbie Eaton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbie_Eaton I'm liking this season a lot more than last; it's a return to form to the good days of TG in terms of format; they still need to tone down the overacting a bit, though.
  2. Strong showing by the trifling-ass Nebraska media today in Atlanta. 

  3. I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was pee wee league and everyone got a turn at QB.
  4. If it means both the kid and the team will be more successful, absolutely. He'd still be in the league if he stayed at OT.
  5. Steinkuhler was a 4 star, 6th ranked OT in the country on 247 and a 5 star, 8th ranked OT on Rivals his senior year, and he switched because Bo placed a premium on DTs rather than OTs. It was an incredible disservice not only to the team, but to Baker in the long run.
  6. Not bad. I wouldn't mind if they found a place for Berry at OLB, so we can get him, Honas and Roberts on the field at the same time.

      I saw this too.  The rest of the ACC is catching up to FSU.  Their crowds at their home games were an embarrassment.  No wonder Jimbo took off.

      I think the feeling was mutual with Jimbo's departure.  He lost that team and they wanted him gone, and he had other opportunities.  FSU will be fine going forward.  

  7. I regret that I have but one +1 to give.
  8. I thought it was an in-state miss, but I don't think Riley pushed too hard for him.

  10. I credit poor recruiting. And overall lack of development. I kid. But seriously, our O-line needs big time work.
  11. Lived in both Neihardt and Courtyards during my time in Lincoln, so CPN was a second home. They demoed the dining hall earlier this month, but I'm betting some of that mac and cheese survived.
  12. I have zero problems with how Rey is being portrayed in terms of her ability to use the Force, but to be fair, though, there's about a year inbetween Empire and Jedi for Luke to train and increase his skills.
  13. In terms of TLJ, I loved almost every scene that Kylo and Rey are in together. They have a fantastic dynamic that Johnson wisely played off of. I also thought Laura Dern was incredible. I do wish they would give Poe more to do, and round his character out a bit more. Oscar Isaac is a fantastic actor who could lead a standalone Star Wars movie very easily.
  14. Like I said, we'll have to agree to disagree, under the caveat that there is still some of Luke's story to tell.
  15. We can agree to disagree; I'm not fully on board with some of the portrayals, but that's fine if you are.
  16. That's not the point, though; character progressions like that have to fit narratively with how the character has already been portrayed, which I would argue they haven't done with both Han and (especially) Luke. You can make these iconic characters vulnerable without going completely Jon Snow on them (strongest plot armor ever). "“I said to Rian, ‘Jedis don’t give up.’ I mean, even if [Luke] had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup, but if he made a mistake, he would try and right that wrong, so right there, we had a fundamental difference." http://collider.com/the-last-jedi-mark-hamill-on-luke-skywalker/#rian-johnson-disney This entire discussion should be taken with the caveat that we still have one more film to go, and we don't yet know what direction they're going to take Luke in. I'd almost bet my house that he becomes a Force Ghost, though.
  17. I do, but that doesn't mean I agree with her summation. Han is utterly broken by his ending in TFA and that's not what I wanted, or expected, for that character.
  18. I guess disrespectful might have been too strong of a word; this tweet chain from CJ Anders in this post sums it up: Also, Hamill has come out numerous times about the conflict he had with Johnson's portrayal of Luke; in an interview that I saw today (might be older), he refers to playing the character as "Jake" Skywalker as opposed to Luke Skywalker
  19. For me, I look at it two ways: Blade Runner 2049 took an established universe and treated it's characters respectfully, while also building towards the future, should they choose to make another film in that universe. For me, Star Wars is redefining their establish characters in ways that I would not have expected (or enjoyed) in order to push the franchise in a new direction, for a new fanbase.
