Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[JacketVol]

you really have me mistaken.

Well, you are a hip hop rapper

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Haha, ya'll are terrible.
By 1983 there was cable in over half the homes in the US. And 28 major networks.
I hear they were driving cars also.

As far as Mash, the most impressive thing was probably no streaming. Maybe some recorded it but to be counted, that many people actually had to make sure they were home in front of the TV, at the exact time.

Yes cable was in it's formative stages with much of rural America just catching up...but..It consisted of almost no original programming. What most channels programming outside of MTV consisted of was old network series in syndication and sports. You guys know cable was nothing against the big networks, and MASH was/is one of the goats.

Prime pro-tip - sign up using a .edu email and get half off for a few years - student discount.

My wife works at Vanderbilt (I try not to hold it against her) and we get our prime membership with a big discount. It’s great.

 

[Rishvol]

Yeah...I think I'm out on that.

It sounds a lot like watchmen to me. Just a little darker

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Well, you are a hip hop rapper

Exactly. You don’t wanna get hit with this wooly

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

I would love a Black Company show. That would make some of the dark parts of GoT look light hearted

I'm intrigued...have to look this up

I did not like Watchmen, but I do understand the draw of it. It's just not my cup of tea.

Lebron Sucks - Not a rumor

Facts

 

[Rishvol]

There's 9 books and only 2 characters from the first book survive all 9 books

He's not worth 5 mil

Nobody is

In case any of you are worried this is the view from the Cougar Sports writer at 247:

I’m expecting Tennessee to be much improved in year two under head coach Jeremy Pruitt. Tennessee might be the most talented team BYU faces this season. It will be a difficult matchup. The good thing for BYU is that the crowd will likely be half asleep, especially if it’s an early game. These matchups are great for BYU, but the host Power Five school usually doesn’t have a hyped up crowd for when BYU comes to town. Wouldn’t expect anything different heading into Knoxville. Too much talent for the Vols for the Cougars to come away with a win.

On a flight to Nashville and just noticed VFL Charles Davis is on it. Pretty cool.

 

[butchna]

Meh....not really

Actually was. Mid 70’s on. But way before extensive original programming. Extra cartoons for young butchna.

 

[VolNectar]

I did the same thing. Thinking about getting them to read

I read the first one way back in the day, it’s good stuff.

Used to have to channel surf uphill both ways in the snow.

Oddly, I actually had HBO in the early 80's. But not now, go figure.

This OG didn’t have a remote control! Had to use needle nose pliers for a couple years.

 

[901LookAlive]

Just asked him "how bout them vols baby" he looked at me and said "how bout them Vols"

But that is exactly what I meant by "Meh...not really"

Cable was nothing but a bunch of re-runs and regional sports back then. It was never taking any numbers away from the big three back then...ever.

I hope Amazons "Wheel of Time" is good...I love that series way more than ASoIaF.

My favorite book series of all time. Could be amazing if done properly and with a high enough CGI budget. Not nearly as unpredictable as GOT but much better character development and stronger attachments to main characters. I really hope they don't go too young adult CW style with it.

As for last night's GOT episode, I thought it was fantastic and the perfect calm before the storm. I have been waiting years to see those interactions....and I'm talking all the way back to 2001 when I read the first few books. Despite what happens next, I will forever be in awe that they have done so well adapting the series to TV.

I know...man I love that series.

I was the remote control. Dad said change the channel, I got up and changed the channel.

Which series are you talking about in this post, I can't see the other side of the convo with whoever it is you are talking to.

That was the uphill part of my metaphor.
