Mark Vader

He did a lot of voice work for Disney in movies and cartoon shows as well. RIP, Sir Gentlemen...

Very sad news, but thank God the doctors caught this. I loved watching Hurst play at Michigan, and I hope that he can still play in the NFL and continue to have a long life.

I never thought I would see Bruce Willis & Elisabeth Shue cast as husband and wife.

The Wolverines beat Sparty for the second time this year! That's only the 4th loss for Michigan State all season. Michigan is HOT going into the Big 10 tournament championship game. Even if the Wolverines lose tomorrow, they are peaking at the right time.

I'm glad that you are getting your Christmas movies lined up.

The whole "police are evil" message, is why this movie has gotten so revered. There are a few scenes that happen in "Three Billboards" that are so ridiculous, you cannot take the movie seriously, and yet the people who made it want us too. I agree that Sam Rockwell is great, and overall it has very good acting. It's the story that is absurd.

Here are my predictions. Best Picture Who will win: "Three Billboards" Who should win: "Dunkirk" Cultural and political climate is more important than artistic vision. The Hollywood left hates the police, and "Three Billboards" delivers with their anti-police message, and that alone is enough for it to win best picture. Meanwhile, an artistic thrilling World War II tale like "Dunkirk" is brushed aside as "just another war movie." Best Director Who will win: Guillermo Del Toro Who should win: Christopher Nolan Del Toro's vision is undeniable, even if "The Shape of Water" may not be his best film. Regardless, the movie's message of tolerance will be highlighted for him winning. Sadly, Christopher Nolan will get ignored. Both men in my opinion are deserving candidates. Best Actor Who will win: Gary Oldman Who should win: Gary Oldman Long overdue for an Oscar, even though it's only his second nomination. The versatile and talented Oldman commands the screen in "Darkest Hour", and he leaves the rest of the nominees in the dust. Best Actress Who will win: Frances McDormand Who should win: Margot Robbie Everyone is going gaga over McDormand, and she will win easily, even though she has relegated herself to doing the same thing. Which is unfortunate for Margot Robbie, who gave such a breakout performance in "I, Tonya". The excuse will be that Robbie's time will come later. You could also make a strong case for Sally Hawkins. The anti-police movie is more important than a mockumentary. Best Supporting Actor Who will win: Sam Rockwell Who should win: Sam Rockwell Rockwell may be winning for the wrong movie(he was overlooked in "Moon"). Unless people feel that Willem Dafoe is overdue, this will be an easy win for Rockwell's unforgettable performance. Best Supporting Actress Who will win: Allison Janney Who should win: Allison Janney Another lock to win in a fairly weak group. Janney is just miles ahead in this race. Best Adapted Screenplay Who will win: Call Me By Your Name Who should win: Logan "Call Me By Your Name" has to win something, right? It would take real guts to give the award to the much deserving "Logan". Best Original Screenplay Who will win: Get Out Who should win: The Shape of Water It's sickening that a movie like "Get Out" is actually nominated in this category, what's even worse, is that it will actually win. Somehow this is more "original" than any of the other candidates. "The Shape of Water" has real originality. The rest of the rest... Cinematography: Will win: Blade Runner 2049 Should win: Dunkirk Score: Will win: The Shape of Water Should win: Dunkirk Make-up & Hair: Will win: Darkest Hour Should win: Darkest Hour Visual Effects: Will win: Blade Runner 2049 Should win: War for the Planet of the Apes

Very glad to see them meeting a lot of offensive players, especially linemen. I'm thrilled that they met with Rashaad Penny.

Weren't they open to trading the first overall pick last year as well?

M*A*S*H The Dick Van Dyke Show Buffy the Vampire Slayer Star Trek: The Next Generation Monday Night Football (Does this count?)

Pushing Daisies is not a guilty pleasure, it was an excellent show. Damn that writer's strike! I will also add "Invasion" from FOX, starring William Fichtner. A very good drama/sci-fi, that lasted an entire season. I think 22 episodes. "Threshold" was another good drama/sci-fi from CBS, starring Carla Gugino, Brent Spiner & Peter Dinklage. Only lasted half a season. "Journeyman" from NBC starring Kevin McKidd had a neat premise, but very few people were watching. Would have been great to see "Veronica Mars" last longer than 3 seasons.

Yes, but I didn't see the ball come out. I saw Jim Kelly make a dive to the ground, and the next thing I see is Lee Woodall running the other way.

I was sitting in the end zone seats when that play happened.

David White. Making a key interception off Dan Marino to secure a win in a thriller against the Dolphins.

See you in 2020 & 2021

And who would you take at 22? Is there a way for us to kill 3 birds with one stone?

Thank you for this thread, Yolo. To be honest, I had not heard about any of this news. Guess that's what happens when you are a fan of a team in a completely other state. I do find it interesting that Harbaugh has done a splendid job with Michigan's defense and not the offense. Although, I will give him plenty of room on that, since most of the offensive players at WR were freshmen. I wish he would just let Peters and McCaffrey fight it out at QB and let them go from there. Adding Shea Patterson to the mix is cute and all, but just go with who you recruited.

No this was an issue started by Colin Kaepernick, but I would like to let it go and get back to football.

Toomgis

Yes, Tolbert is a Free Agent. I would be fine with this scenario. Although, I am hoping that we draft Rashaad Penny.

I agree with Hercules Mata'afa being on this list. He looked really good at Washington State, but I think he's too small to be an every down D-Lineman in the NFL. Then again, with his speed and strength he could be a helluva NFL player.

Good choice. It'll be nice to have someone talking mostly about what players did in their college years. What about the coach? You can't have Herbstreit without Lee Corso.
