  1. So,I saw it last night. Seemed a bit cheesy and very CGI focused compared to the last two. Overall pretty good, just didnt need all the comedy and cheese.
  2. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) How far are you Season 3
  3. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) John Cooper played at Iowa State, Earle Bruce coached here....IT ALL TIES BACK Overwhelmingly people think Campbell is next up after Meyer too....
  4. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 02:39 PM) As a trial attorney, that was all pretty pathetic and it's sad i'm far more qualified than him to be a judge and i'm 35... However, people are pointing to the wrong things here. Not ever trying a case, never deposing anyone (!), not knowing what a motion in limine is and never arguing a motion before a judge (!!!!!) are the damning parts of his lack of experience. Saying he hasn't read the Federal Rules of Civ Pro or Evidence is not really a big deal. I haven't read either in years and I suspect the vast majority of attorneys/judges out there haven't either. It's a rule book. That's like asking how many professional athletes have read their respective rule books. The answer is virtually none, but you reference it when needed and your experience has provided you with opportunities to read/interpret/use the rules at one point or another. Just because I haven't read it from page one all the way through doesn't mean I don't know or understand the rules more concretely (or that I can't learn through judicial training). I've seen my share of us dist court judges that don't know everything about the law as well as they should, but I also know several absolutely brilliant judges who can spout legal opinions and doctrines like it's nothing (much like Chief Justice Roberts at his confirmation hearings). But a lot of that comes from experience from being a judge, not from being an attorney. Dude, if you were going to interview for a job that has a lifetime appointment, wouldnt you have brushed up on those things?
  5. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) I think all are around 22-24 gb's, but who is routinely hitting that mark? Anyone using their phone as a hotspot or downloading movies
  6. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) How does a lawyer not know what a motion in limine is? Even most corporate lawyers should have a basic understanding of that. Not to mention that federal district court judges oversee these motions routinely and in most cases. Lifetime. Appointment.
  7. This would be a fun discussion in basketball as well.
  8. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:48 PM) In terms of potential? Absolutely they're top 3. They hit a down period and they're still going bowling every year. IMO right now the big ten is something like (no particular order in each tier): OSU Wisconsin/PSU/Nebraska Michigan St. (though the looming sex scandal is not good) Michigan Iowa Northwestern/Minnesota Illinois/Purdue/Maryland/Indiana Rutgers I wonder how long MSU is going to be happy just playing the spoiler. Even though Harbaugh hasnt been too good against them, he's stealing a ton of their talent.
  9. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:44 PM) I would think that PSU, Nebraska and Wisconsin are every bit as attractive as Michigan. Michigan has the exposure but also the headache of meeting expectations and playing OSU every year. Wisconsin and Nebraska can basically walk into the Big Ten Championship every year or every other year. I was trying to take those factors out of it, but totally. The Big Ten east is only getting tougher. One loss and thats it. PSU is recruiting at an amazing level right now but it will be interesting to watch Franklin have to go through losing actual good assistants.
  10. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) Yeah I think it's kind of silly to not have Nebraska as a top tier blue blood. They're a top 10 program and there's no reason to believe they won't get back there with Frost. They have a good, dedicated fan base and he's a good recruiter and they play in a weak division. That means you believe they are a top 3 program in the Big Ten. I disagree. I think they are a solid top 25 program with a good fan base, good facilities, average reputation and below average recruiting base. I do think they COULD be in line to make a few conference title games in that division, but thats about it. I dont think they have a shot in hell at a playoff in the near term.
  11. QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) For the LONG TERM I see Harbaugh and Frost as the 2 best recruiters and coaches in the big 10. My personal opinion is Meyer will leave within the next 2 years and OSU will jump down a tier. Maybe not as bad as 2011, but more resembling 78-2001. Not a championship team, but a good team. I hopped on the OSU bandwagon in 1981 and LOL. Have a good one.
  12. QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Notre Dame, whom I despise, was in the national title game a few years ago and last year, Michigan was a bad spot away from making the playoffs in Harbaugh's second year. Penn State underachieved mightily this year, choking the OSU game after choking the Rose Bowl last year. Wolverines are still digging themselves out of the hole RichRod and Hoke left it in, for sure though. Next year will be telling. Wish we had a QB this year. We all know the spot was good Brian. But even Hoke who is an awful, awful coach, recruited at an elite level at Michigan. I think thats a good message on the strength of the brand
  13. QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) Are you saying historically? Or currently? I'd rank PSU ahead of Michigan today. Wisconsin too. IMO Michigan is up there with Notre Dame as one of the most overrated programs in college football. Good programs, no doubt, but not worth the attention they get on an annual basis. I think its a lot of things: Historical and current performance Reputation Recruiting base and performance Facilities Budget Theres a lot of factors that go into a program being elite. But I think the simplest way to boil it down is if every single program in the conference had a head coach opening at the same time. In what order would a coach choose each school (with no prior biases).
  14. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 11:56 AM) Pai was interviewed today and said that everyone was proven wrong about the repeal ruining the internet because they could tweet today He really doesnt get it.
  15. QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) When I first read that he called her "Long Legs" I was like, uh oh. Then read it and he said it to respond to her own joke about how tall she is. There could be other texts with the shirtless pics, but this chain should be trashed. Yeah, I may be numb to it but I dont get the outrage with this case.
  16. QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) Are you saying that OSU from late 70s until early 2000s is the same as 2002 OSU to present? If not, Would that NOT make OSU in a different tier during that quarter of a century? OSU is a very nice program. But don't act like they are leaps ahead of programs like Michigan, Nebraska and Notre Dame. OSU was still top tier in conference during the Bruce and Cooper era, yes. (bruce won a conference title every other year he was coach) In the Big Ten Michigan and OSU are 1 and 1a in almost everyone's mind. Notre Dame isnt in the Big Ten and Nebraska isnt in the top tier and may never be.
  17. QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 10:20 AM) Only nubs (and ND) fans can make me root for an OSU fan in an argument. Its not really an argument. Its like talking to an old guy at a bar who isnt aware that the internet and statistics are readily available.
  18. The mention of John Cooper should give you (and Illinois fans) the warm and fuzzies
  19. QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 12:18 AM) OSU is no doubt having a very successful 15 years. But don’t act like the Bruce cooper eras were all that great. That’s what tier 2 is. Nothing wrong with it. But that’s where OSU generally was mid 70s til early ‘00s. Bruce didn’t start until 1979. They won 7 conference titles between the two of them. Osu has a .733 winning percentage against conference opponents. Totally second tier.
  20. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 05:38 PM) Don't worry everyone, I'm sure you can trust Comcast to handle this well and fairly. I mean, those MF'ers already throttle us without our knowledge. And unless you test and document frequently you would never know.
  21. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) Those arent going to be the sides. Expect teams. Im guessing ATT and Comcast are going to try and work a deal with Disney because Disney is about to leverage their massive ip catalog against everyone. If this goes ahead, everything will cost something. I put this in layman's terms for someone today. Think about that free wifi you get at a hotel or airport. Maybe you watch an ad or something to get access and its extremely basic and kind of slow, but thats the free (or basic) tier. If you want 4k or HD streaming you have to pay, if you want no ads you have to pay.
  22. QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) I said that Urban Meyer would probably be leaving within 2 years and that OSU will fall into the next tier. That's just speculation on my part as a college football fan. I've seen Alabama, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Nebraska all go through droughts. It is bound to happen to OSU imo. If you think the OSU job is the #1 job in all of football, then maybe he stays. I'm not so sure it is. OSU is the #1 or 1a job in the big ten with zero debate, and easily one of the top in the country. Since the 1930's OSU has never gone a decade with at least 3 conference titles. Calling OSU second tier in your post is either an attempt at a bad troll job or delusion.
  23. QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Saw a reporter on Twitter. Maybe that is what they meant. Can we convince Trump that Ajit Pai is Muslim? Every single state is going to sue the FCC.
  24. Once again its going to hurt the people who support it. Pepe bots, Maga bots and the like arent going to pay.
