    You said Lucas repurposed Seven Samurai. There’s a huuuuuuuuge difference between “repurposing” and “being inspired by.”

    Appreciation for IE Buddies

    My “online” ND fandom started when I discovered Her Loyal Sons. Those guys were pretty cool, kept the blog busy with articles and recruiting news, and the comment sections were usually pretty busy for a blog. I had a college buddy that I would talk ND with, particularly on recruiting stuff...

    ‘28 IL DE Kameron McGee (Offer)

    That’s the move… offenses transition to more TE-heavy sets to counter smaller defenses. ND is ALREADY prepared to combat by going full 2nd-grade football. 6-2 front with the occasional 5-2 Monster.

    I don’t think you can retcon the prequels even if not protected by paperwork with Lucas, imo. That’s Skywalker saga material that should stand as long as the OT stands. Some of it is silly, some of it is unnecessary, and some dialogue is worse than scUM football, but it’s got a quality...

    Even if it’s a bit of self-promotion, good for Sanford for helping the kid make a decision that helped his future. Most coaches today seem to appreciate the value of letting kids be multi-sport athletes, but I also know some coaches want to keep those kids in football workouts as much as possible

    What video game are you playing?

    Just watched some gameplay videos. The AC Black Flag remake looks so gorgeous. The Caribbean water, the sunsets, the jungles, the ships, the cities…. I cannot fucking wait to sail the high seas while listening to the squad sing some shanties, then hop off the boat and explore some Mayan ruins...

    Luke and Snoke both dying after being set up in TFA as integral to the story and eventual resolution throws everyone off. I figured the final conflict/resolution was going to be Rey finally bringing true balance, as Luke and Snoke were out of the way, leaving her to deal with Kylo. The Force...

    Liking it because it’s a spectacle set in space with cool shit like lightsabers, spaceships and planet-killing weapons are sucky reasons?? That implies there are quality narrative reasons to hold the OT to a higher standard than the newer stuff, which to me seems like a contradiction. Empire...

    I like it for the spectacle set in the Star War universe. I guess my enjoyment of film is compartmentalized. I’m not offended when Star Wars, which had Luke doing front flips in a swamp with a puppet on his back, has Poe telling jokes before he does some shit that looks cool as hell in a...

    I liked TLJ because I think the overarching “story” of Star Wars required subversion. Sometimes subversion for subversions sake is lazy. But I think setting Luke up in the first movie as a hero in hiding, cutting himself off from the force because of mistakes he’s made, was a good way to shift...

    6-3, 195 with speed? This seems like the type of dude ND doesn’t press for early enough, then he goes elsewhere and has a nice career. I like this.
