How do you guys feel if this ends up being the permanent rivals in football?

View attachment 539207

I think it’s fair.

Florida and Alabama look like they face the toughest opponents.

Wish Tennessee had Kentucky instead of South Carolina.
Not going to happen. Florida and Oklahoma are not rivals. Expect LSU to take their spot and Oklahoma to get Texas A&M

I also watched the remaining innings of a live stream of the Northern Colorado Washington Baseball game.

The Huskies bulldozed the Bears 32-7 in Seattle, Washington.

1 unforgettable 1st home game for a great Huskies team that continues to light up the scoreboard because of a variety of great hitting from multiple talented players.

Looks like Washington will play Portland after this series. They just beat Texas A&M 2 out of 3 and nearly swept them. Watch out for them.

So in other words the Huskies better play like Top Dogs.

I’m going to buy 1 Washington Huskies Baseball t-shirt from Fanatics.


I’m very happy the Huskies baseball team is a consistent winning team that has a realistic chance of being great because the Men’s Huskies basketball team is a talented team that has a Good Coach except they underachieved because most of their season has been not winning consistently, also getting outplayed by great teams even if they have a realistic chance of winning.
 
Those ding-dongs are never happy. BMW about everything as if they could do any better.

Mostly makes me think of Eagles fans that complain they didn’t win by 28 or higher since I recall the criticism of Eagles fans in the UrinatingTree video about the Eagles.

It was pretty damn hilarious a guy seriously said no movies should ever be remade because it’s utterly inane.
If I recall right that was a posted answer for which movies should be remade in a movie group on Facebook that has questions about movies.

I say it’s utterly inane because the entire point of movie remakes is to improve not great movies that can be improved with remakes that don’t have the flaws of a bad movie or a terrible movie.
Judge Dredd is a freakin awful movie that completely fails to be as badass as Robocop by 10 billion miles.
Dredd is a great remake that succeeds at having a serious tone, showing a great depiction of Dredd including mostly he’s wearing the helmet, the amazing gun he has is not under-shown, has an entertaining coherent story, great action scenes, and an entertaining main antagonist.

Tomb Raider is a great remake that is a faithful adaptation of the famous video game series including a Lara Croft that has limitations because it’s set in a realistic world, and is a Indiana Jones style movie because Lara Croft is in in the Indian Jones style action adventure genre.
The awful Tomb Raider movies are not faithful adaptations since she’s searching for extraordinary objects that fit in a Doctor Who universe or Harry Potter which does not fit the Tomb Raider universe at all.
Also Lara Croft is a Mary Sue that has no struggles succeeding so she’s a very boring ridiculous overpowered character, and never shown she has any flaws she struggles with.

Also the movie shows ridiculous action scenes that makes it look like it’s set in the same world as The Matrix. That doesn’t fit at all because the Tomb Raider series is set in a realistic world where the characters are bound by the laws of physics so they can’t perform any extraordinary actions equal to what Neo can do or other characters from The Matrix movie series.

Also Doom Annihilation is a very faithful adaptation of the Doom video game series including has great looking demons that are invading Mars after a portal gets opened.

Doom is an awful adaptation of the Doom video game series including most of the movie is boring, multiple action scenes can’t see what’s happening because of the dark locations, an unforgivable plot hole because of terrible writing , no demons invading Mars, etc.
The movie fails to be an exciting Aliens style movie by 10 trillion miles. It’s a poor man’s Aliens including doesn’t have much likable protagonists, most of the movie is boring, you won’t be sad seeing multiple protagonists die since only 2 Space Marines are likable characters, etc.

On March 4 in Baseball History...
  • 1907 - A judgment of $52,000 is awarded to the Baltimore club from Brooklyn. When Baltimore left the N.L. in 1903, Brooklyn agreed to pay $40,000 for the franchise but never did. The award includes interest.

  • 1913 - The Yankees are the first team to train outside the U.S. when they travel to Bermuda for spring practice.

  • 1976 - In a last-minute deal, the Giants are bought for $8M by Bob Lurie and Bud Herseth. This purchase assures that team will stay in San Francisco.

  • 1948 - Stan Musial signs with the Cardinals for $31,000, ending his holdout.

One observation about last night’s game: Blake Burke not only has the power of Hercules, but dang, he’s an incredibly gifted hitter. What a tough out. I’m also curious how many of his AB’s this year have been against lefties vs. right-handers? He’s figuring these lefties out as he struggled last year in that area.
 
Duke doesn’t suck.

A Tar Heels fan has the sign Be Real, Duke Sucks which is inane because Duke has made North Carolina a jabroni, and Duke has a winning record.
It’s 1 thing to talk trash about a main rival foe, it’s a whole other thing to be completely stupid by outright stating wrong flaws about a rival foe.
 
Very interesting quote.


He’s more original than Hollywood wasting money, time, writing, and film by remaking great movies that don’t need to be remade instead of improving movies that aren’t great.

An exception is (2020) The Invisible Man which is a great remake most likely set in 2020 because laptops exist in this universe, cellphones with text messages, has a abuse relationship aspect, how the antagonist becomes invisible is a creative original idea instead of reusing the same way in the classic Black and White The Invisible Man movie, etc.
