    Time to Stop Smoking

    Not a PSA or a lecture, but a life story. My mom smoked for 22 years. She gave it up in the early 80s. She was diagnosed in December with stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized to a few different parts of her body. She passed away in late February. She never had any health issues prior...

    no oscar talk at all?

    Watched Poor Things the other night on Hulu. At first I really didn’t like it, but kept watching. By the end, I thought it was interesting. Emma Stone was excellent in what had to be a difficult role to act (and, IMO, it was Oscar-worthy). Willem Dafoe was great, as usual. Mark Ruffalo was in a...

    Video games

    I appreciate this thread. I still play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 on my PS2 on a regular basis for stress relief. I’m not a huge video games guy, but I dig beating the cr*p out of the tour.

    Cuse bar in Venice, FL?

    I stumbled upon the Seafood Shack Marina Bar & Grill in Cortez, which had a Cuse fan who worked there and he said he tried to have games on there as much as possible. Watched the Cuse/Oregon game from there while eating fish tacos & drinking Jai Alai.

    RIP Neil Peart

    I’m reading Dave Grohl’s Storyteller right now but will read My Effin’ Life after. Me and the Mrs. went to see Geddy on his book tour in DC. It was really fascinating to hear him talk about the circumstances with Neil when he decided to retire and then the diagnosis with brain cancer. Geddy...

    They should name a pass route that he runs the Triple Lindy.

    I'm in a show hole, need suggestions

    I think I read somewhere that the creators have a storyline for seven seasons. We’ll see if they get there. I’ve enjoyed the seasons less and less…but still watch. Kinnaman’s character this season has been both insufferable and not interesting. I keep thinking they should put his character out...

    FSU vs The ACC

    The Georgia HOPE Scholarship program allows for a benefit to attend private institutions as well, which is different that the Florida Bright Futures program and the NY Excelsior program. I mentioned this in another thread, but the HOPE Scholarship program has been transformative for the...

    Family Syracuse Football Discussion

    I’m appreciative of the resurgent discussions about Cuse football, thanks to Frandamonium. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer two weeks ago and it’s been a nice distraction to talk with my dad about prospective Cuse recruits and the new coaching staff. I hope the momentum keeps up, both...

    Not what we wanted but pretty much meaningless

    The game didn’t matter and wasn’t indicative of the current trending of the program, but it still bothers me that it feeds into the perception that the program has been poor for the last 20 years. I’d like for the perception of the program to change. For that reason, the result vs USF was...

    USF / Boca Raton Bowl Gameday...

    I care. I would like to see Cuse break the cycle of unfulfilled positive momentum. It’s not too much to want and expect the team to do well. BTW - Barron was a chump on that last USF TD. Unprepared.

    FSU vs The ACC

    At this rate, FSU is turning into the Cristiano Ronaldo of CFB. The outrage! The injustice! And in the end, they will choose to join the Sun Belt conference where they can win every game every year for the off chance they get the G5 qualifier to the playoffs.

    Class of 2021 WR Jackson Meeks (GA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/12/23)

    Having had that exact same tv/vcr combo in grad school at UGA in 1998, I’d astounded by the authenticity & serendipity of that clip. It even confirms the year on the vcr tape on the tv! Welcome Meeks.

    Admission rate

    Economics of higher ed are complex. Cost of education is the same for public vs. private but financing is just so different. Years ago I did a report for UGA admissions on the impact of the HOPE Scholarship Program (funded by revenue from state lottery). It does help provide eligible students...

    I recommend Godzilla Minus One. It’s not only good for Godzilla and Kaiju fans but it has a really good storyline and very suspenseful.

    2023 college football playoffs

    Your point is irrelevant. Hypothetical "what ifs" don't matter. It's what is produced on the field in competition. FSU's resume earned the right for them to play in the playoff. Who is to say that FSU's defense and offense wouldn't propel them to win? Adversity is often listed as a...

    2023 college football playoffs

    ACC had the best record against the P5 conferences in 2023. Against: B12: 0-2 B1G: 4-3 SEC: 6-4 Total: 10-9 P12 was the only other conference with a winning record again P5 (7-3).

    2023 college football playoffs

    We’re moving closer and closer to a post-season playoff populated by the top brands every year without any variability. The 12-team playoff is precisely this… 8 teams from SEC/B1G with final 4 selected from remaining teams who may have actually earned it.

    2023 college football playoffs

    So, hypothetically, wouldn’t it incentivize teams to head hunt QBs in notable matchups towards the end of the season if it could help their playoff prospects? Stupid.

    2023 college football playoffs

    Again, FSU was preseason ranked 7-8. They couldn’t have done anything more. Edit: also beat LSU & UF OOC, swept the ACC schedule, and beat Louisville, which was SEC’s best OOC win.

    Surprising Fritz is making the move. He's 63. Built Tulane over 7 years. Likely won't have as much time at Houston to get them to a minimum 8-win season again.

    2023 Bowl Projections thread

    This. If the “look test” really means that much, take a look at the preseason rankings (AP, ESP/Coaches) and you would come up with the same conclusion. FSU was preseason ranked 7-8 and went undefeated while the majority of the teams ahead of them weren’t as successful. How can you leave them out?

    Week 14 FBS Games for Dec 1-2

    I get it. But listening to Sankey today on Gameday made it sound as though the teams that look good on paper (i.e., history, league, etc.) should be a bigger factor than the outcome of the season for making the playoffs. For the teams with depth that they paid for via NIL, that will give them...

    Week 14 FBS Games for Dec 1-2

    If FSU wins and goes undefeated and get left out then there is absolutely no value in “playing through adversity” under any circumstance. That goes against the whole premise of “leaving it on the field”. If competing no longer means you are rewarded for winning, what’s the point?

    Fran Brown, Syracuse Football New Head Coach, Official Announcement

    I love it. I'm a UGA alum, but protective of my Orange. I was hesitant to feel good about HCFB when the rumors came out, but the more I educated myself, the more I endorse. Drink the sweet nectar, as hope is powerful and inspires us to do impossible things. Lead on HCFB.

    Bob Chesney

    In all fairness, not many HC at Cuse in recent years have got a lot of 4 star guys. What BChes has been able to do is build and win consistently with challenging variables with which to work. I don’t know if he can be successful here, but that’s an impressive resume to build a sustainable...

    Say it isn’t so. Well, some things are better left unsaid. Perhaps they were out of touch. Regardless, there won’t be any one on one anytime soon because one said, “I can’t go for that.” No can do (indeed).
