They looked pretty good last week

I like Tampa’s color scheme. Oregon would be proud.

Seattle's uniforms remind of a team in the old World League.

I think it was the Barcelona Galaxy?

UAB used to have a dragon on their helmets that was reminiscent of Seattle’s Dragon, IIRC.

 

[TBrown]

That is the worst call I have ever seen in my entire life

 

[zjcvols]

I didn’t catch the game. Did we blow it or the refs get involved?

 

[TBrown]

For the most part we blew it but the charge call on fulkerson at the end was unspeakably horrendous. So bad they didn’t even replay it

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Yeah it was legit bad. Dude was flopping before Fulkerson ever touched him.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Agree about the call but that was just one helluva textbook shltting of the bed those last three minutes or so of the game.

Was watching on my phone at bar so it was hard to pick up much detail, but the possession where we were up 1 coming out of a timeout with under a minute left and turned it over for no apparent reason at all looked particularly gross.

Diego Sanchez should never fight in the UFC again after that

I didn't see it

I didn't see it

So as a bit of background...Sanchez is getting his ass whipped the entire fight pretty much.

Perreira hit him with an illegal knee while his (Sanchez’) knee was down in the third round. It caught Sanchez high on the forehead and cut him. Ref stops it to examine. It’s bleeding, but stops pretty quickly...no swelling. Looks fine and even the ref tells Perreira that Sanchez will be fine. Ref indicates they will continue and a point will be taken from Perreira. No problem.

Ref goes back to Sanchez and asks when he is ready to continue. Sanchez asks the ref that if he cannot continue, will Perreira be disqualified? Ref says yes. Sanchez says he can’t continue and gets the win.

The cut was no longer bleeding, not swelling, and would not have affected Sanchez at all. He just pussed out to get a cheap win on a technicality.

I just watched Apocalypse Now and I was not prepared

Spectacular film. I don't think I've seen it since the Endless War began but my god it's got to feel even more urgent now. It all seemed so safely far back in the past when I saw it in the late 80s and 90s during the so-called End of History.

There are so many great Vietnam War movies. Platoon, Siege of Fort Base Gloria, Hamburger Hill, AN, The Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket etc

We Were Soldiers is a glaring omission here imo.

The scene where they entered Kurtz’ camp was literally bone chilling. It was amazing. The movie drags a little but we watched the final cut which is 3 hours. That probably didn’t help. It is still fantastic.

I knew I was forgetting one when I typed it. Absolutely right.
