QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 04:46 PM) Sounds like Miami is getting the old Missouri DL coach. Missouri has produced some good DLs recently so that is good. Richt is cleaning house today with the assistants. Firing the WR coach is a big mistake

Abram got fat.

Since the Lakers apparently don't want him I wonder if they'd deal Russell. Maybe they love Derrick Rose?

Whatever Dallas. You aren't winning the cup

Please tell me Kentucky flipped the switch. This team is so talented.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 07:43 AM) He's only out 2-3 weeks. So they lose a couple more games than they would have. Not a huge deal, unless he never gets back to 100%. I think its worse than they are saying, but it also gives them a chance to win without him which could be valuable. I've never known a knee surgery that was only 2 weeks out and then fully healed.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:18 PM) Cara Maria does it for me man. That being said, Abram is gonna f***ing murder someone. +1, i dont know what it is about her.

Wait, that was the finale? WTF

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Did anyone else a few lines here and there from Kylo Ren, even when he had his mask off? Maybe it was my theater, but the voice almost reminded me of Bane, just in the sense that his dialog was a little too muffled for me to catch every word. Nah, the sound at Muvico was outstanding.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) Darth Maul was a good part of the prequels. Such a wasted villain. The prequel edit on youtube is so much better because it takes out half of the CGI bulls***.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) I think it's hard to criticize much until we see the next 2. Some people don't like that Ren wasn't that powerful but he probably will be in ep 8 and more so in ep 9. The whole point was that he was kind of trained but not fully what he could be, thats why his temper tantrums and horrible saber work existed. I also think Rei was trained as a child with Luke but they erased her mind.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) Yes. I had lots of fun, lots of moments of giddiness. But I left the theater really pissed about last scene, hated that blatant serialization trope, and the pacing was just not good. It's amazing how little actual story happened in this movie in 2.5 hrs. We essentially know nobodies motivations beside Finn, unless you've seen previous movies. It's just classic JJ Abrams problems. He's capable of incredible highs but he has never made a full movie. Basically what he did was try to erase the CGI bulls*** of the last 3 and go back to the gritty model/location based filming of 4-6 while basically repeating episode 4 as a nod to the original series and passing the baton. Nothing else really happened. They passed the baton in every single way and now we get to see Luke train the next him. It was a good and entertaining movie, but I was really hoping for a new plot or danger. I am hoping the next one is when we are exposed to something we havent seen before since he felt the need to basically make us forget about Epi 1-3. I also could have done without the lady behind me clapping whenever an old character showed up.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 08:00 AM) I really liked Kylo Ren. Also, I don't think he was intended to be able to hold a candle to Vader. He hasnt even completed his training yet, his lack of lightsaber skills is supposed to point to that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) Probably will post more later but saw it last night at 1am Imax 3d. 3d can still sometimes be awkward. Some scenes it seems forced, they would almost be better off not forcing it, but just my opinion. As for the movie. Im pretty shocked that no one else has mentioned how much of an homage this is to episode 4. Luke is in the desert, droid with an important message ends up there, Luke runs into droid begin saga. I could go on and on with how much the movies parallel each other. Honestly George Lucas could have never gotten away with it. That being said, I thought it was great and Im glad about a lot of things. Clearly they took a long look at the books, but glad they didnt copy them because then there would be no surprise. It's almost a remake of episode 4. It was pretty good but didn't blow me away.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) You say Finn isn't force sensitive and had no sword training yet you're cool with Rey handling a lightsaber like a pro because you assume Luke trained her when she was 6 years old? You're making an awful lot of assumptions here, we know next to nothing about these characters. Finn could easily be force sensitive or have sword training, we see him go toe to toe with another stormtrooper in melee combat, why assume that Finn, over the course of the past 15 years hasn't undergone any melee combat training? You are aware that nobody handled the light saber like a pro on purpose right? None of the three were fully trained on the light saber including Ren. That was the whole point.

That's an awful loss for Kentucky. This is possibly a bottom third big ten team

Seabrook is half asleep

Fred was pretty terrible in crunch time tonight on both ends. I don't know if that's indicative of his ability but it's not good.

At least Fred is admitting some of his mistakes.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 10:36 PM) Some guy was yelling "Pau is 80 years old and you played him 50 minutes". That was hilarious.

Pretty bad loss. They had them several times and Detroit was awful at the line. Good homestand but it could have been clean.

Oh Jimmy why.

God they are awful defensively.

So bad defensively.
