  1. They had a 1-and-1 set up and played at Baylor last season.

     

    Also UB basketball plays at Kentucky and Wisconsin this year. Two Final Four teams.

    Wow, that'll get the university some money.

     

    I just read that it'll be Michigan Vs. Syracuse in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.

  2. That was definitely my take on the situation. He was ready to off himself until he heard Cheng's men. I'd love to see the body count from that scene alone. He had to have taken out at least 25 guys on that boat.

    He did take out a lot.

     

    Personally, I think nothing will ever top what Jack did in "Day 6". When he was in that warehouse facility by himself and he took out every single armed man and then killed the leader by having him hung with that machine. After it was over, Mike Doyle(Ricky Schroeder) runs in to see the carnage and finds Jack sitting at the table and all he can say is, "Damn, Jack!" :lol:

  3. Mark please take another look. I respect your opinion for sure , but I am a fan of Searcy and in Jims system i expect him to start but play that hybrid nickel line backer more often than not.

    Now the year before i thought him less of him. I thought he was finding his way last year. 3rd year isnt it ? .

    I think he has a solid spot .

     

    Good points about the Robey vs Graham thing.

    I might guess its more of matchup issue .

    Again i think both these fellows are more an asset and tool to be used , than direct competition with each other. Same with Da'Norris . And then Spikes too . Very good at what they each bring.

    I am on my second kool aid, Mark

    Obviously .

    I think the bases are well covered and Searcy is key element going forward.

    Let me say this though . If they think Duke Williams is a 4 down guy i have no issue naming him starter.

    I'm not trying to knock Searcy, I just think that he is not a starter in this league. I agree that he did make some plays last season, but I think that he is more of a liability in coverage.

     

    I am hoping that Duke Williams can step up this season and have a real impact. I think he has good potential.

     

    I'm willing to give Searcy a chance, and I hope he can excel as a starter, but I would not be surprised if he squanders the opportunity.

  4. What a show, and what a revival. "24" has never shied away from having non-bright skies endings.

     

    President Heller's conversation with Prime Minister Davies was heartbreaking.

     

    Chloe is safe, Kate is going rogue, Mark Boudreau will be in prison forever & Cheng is dead.

     

    Now how will Jack get out of Russia?

     

    Question for all of you. When Jack found out that Audrey had been killed (perfect timing Kate), was Jack about to kill himself? The way he was holding his sidearm and the look on his face, he looked like he wanted to end it all. Did any of you think the same thing?

  5. is it my imagination, or is Hollywood getting marginally better? Ive been pretty much anti-hollywood for years due to the typical "shoot em up, canned script, forced happy ending" take no risk formula that predominates. But the last few Ive seen Ive been pleasantly surprised.

    I've always been of the mind that Hollywood has been fine all along. Yes there is a lot of crap out there, but there is also good stuff as well.

     

    Let's face it there are lots more movies being made these days than ever before, and the bad ones are always going to outweigh the good ones.

     

    Some people believe that the only good movies you are going to get are the independent films, but I disagree.

     

    Look at this year so far: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", "Godzilla", "X-Men: Days of Future Past", & "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", all got considerably high marks from both critics and audiences alike.

     

    I think that what you are seeing is that studios are getting great talent to be a part of these movies. From writers to directors to actors, etc.

     

    I hope that this trend continues. Personally I am very encouraged at what the future of the Star Wars franchise holds. The directors that are being chosen are all quality choices.

     

    It's also a state of mind that a moviegoer has to be in, in order to like a movie. If you go in with an attitude, then you are probably not going to like it. We have to remember that this is entertainment, if you want the meaning of life, then go take classes on the subject at a university.

     

    There is good stuff to see from Hollywood, you just have to find it.

  6. Minor league baseball has been wrecked over the past 20 years. All semblance of competition has been stripped away. Just look at milb. Everything is marketed for every single game with the exception of baseball itself. Star wars night, dog night, zombie night, kids day, etc. But never baseball night.

    It is awful and is eroding the sport in this country

    Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not.

  7. Not much to see here ? Or some potential beyond " core ST" guy ?

    At first i thought we got Keith Rivers as a core ST team guy . Till i saw his wage scale . Boobie and Corey are also of the same cut of cloth when first advertised on BB com.

    What is this guy about ? Camp fodder or enough Exp to be valuable. Aren't we LB heavy now. I dont mean starters but the bills are working out a lot of them. Cbs and Safeties too

    So they released Caussin finally. Injuries never let him get traction .

    Camp fodder, unless he shines.

  8. Where's Prometheus II, that's what I want. If they remove the Hollywood fluff it could be even better than the first.

    That is in pre-production, and a long ways off. Right now it is scheduled for March 2016.

     

    Ridley Scott will produce, but so far that's it. No director has signed on, but Michael Fassbender & Noomi Rapace will reprise their roles.

     

    This is a big risk sequel, which is probably why 20th Century Fox is not releasing it in the summer. "Prometheus", while generally liked, had plenty of detractors. Some Alien fans downright hated it. We shall see how it goes.

  9. Yep . Me too.

    Wiiliams has the confidence now to call the defense from back there. I may add , that i think he has the confidence of his fellow players too.

    I dont want get to far off , but anyone notice Searcy last year ?

    Take a look at his stats . He did it quietly.

    My perception is those 3 were a damned fine combo , add in Robey too.

    Gilmore was the worst of the returning players and his stats when healthy were very good . and he has not hit his stride by any means i suspect

    So now we have Corey Graham , up and comer Duke Williams J Meeks and more.

    This is playing out very well .

    I too can see Aaron making all pro with this cast of characters .

    No wonder Jim Schwaatz is giddy about reinventing himself ala Buffalo Bills.

    Geezus i am stoked about this defense ! And its mostly young .

    AFC East champs for a decade ? Step aside Patriots .

    hey bartender ! another kool aid over here !!!!

    The secondary is a unit to be excited about. I want to see how Graham fits into the scheme and how much of an opportunity Robey will get.

     

    I really don't know how much more Searcy has to offer. Would not be surprised if he gets either cut or becomes a back-up.

  10. The costs of a farm system have to come out of someone's pockets. I don't think the NFLPA wants to dilute the money pool too much. And let's not even talk about what the owners would have to do logistically to create and provide for it. Colleges too would lose millions and millions of dollars and it would have immense impact on whole communities that base their very subsistence on it, socially, culturally and economically. So I would think, no way. The NCAA/civic lawyers would have a field day.

     

    Baseball has seen major decline in the past few years, do you really want football's future marketing plan to be based on that model?
