they really blew their wad with this first phase. all the movies they have lined up are really minor and lame and they won't have James Gunn to pull another GOG out of his butt. I see the whole thing fading in the next five years.

TBF, it was the first 3 phases. Iron Man was a C-list superhero before they stuck lighting with RDJ. And Idk how much funding they’d have gotten if they’d foregone longtime fan favorite superheroes for niche ones like Black Panther, Ant Man, or Captain Marvel if they hadn’t built up credibility through box office success with the more popular ones first.

The Bear (from College Gameday) is pretty plugged in down there and has them at 9-3.

I just figure Grantham will be able to give a freshman QB fits in week 1.

Phil Steele is high on Miami also. Has them winning their division, possibly 10 wins, and one of his most improved teams in the country. Apparently they have a really good D and he believes that Enos will get the offense going.

If we had that schedule I promise we would be 11-1.

9-3 with that schedule isn’t impressive

Newtdog,

You've been pushing that narrative for months. I see where you're coming from, but, since you seem like a smart feller ill defer to reason. Follow the money. Marvel...Disney...Box Office Records.

You may believe in this notion of 'Golden MCU' Age. And you may be correct. But one thing is for damn sure;

Disney will smote the ruin of MCU upon the proverbial mountainside. And once that carcass slams, it will have have yanked every single penny from the franchise it can.

My point is get used to it, cause this ride has a good 20 years left in it. My kids will be enrolled at UT, and Thor will be on a walker.

They're not replacing Bond. He can keep coming out of retirement ad infinitum or return from retirement to assume the 007 role. The studio just changed it up for this film and they'll see how it plays.

Idris Elba needs to be bond imo. Or Tom Hardy. But I want Tom Hardy to play every character so 🤷‍♂️

Equally as interesting (to me) is the lack of teams in the 38-49 range, a mark that usually suggests a team might be just one class away from making the jump. Texas A&M, Stanford, Tennessee, and Oregon are the only four right now.

Per Bud Elliott’s blue-chip ratio, we’re one class away from having the requisite talent to compete for a national championship - although it’s more likely it takes two seasons for that talent to flourish.

LOL I'm not discounting that the devil mouse will ram it down our throats forever but I do think the popularity will wane.

2 more classes. That's how much we need to compete and beat the Bama's and Clemson's. That gives Pruitt 4 (technically 3.5) that he got to create on his own. Also gives time for the players from the early classes to mature and get better in the system.
