  1. @Machinator, thanks for providing much needed perspective to a board that’s perpetually closetojumping.
  2. Quite skrong female LPs this year: Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour - an almost-perfect singer-songwriter album; gorgeously arranged, with a lyricism that catches you off-guard with a casual profundity; best of 2018 imo Janelle Monae - Dirty Computer - she's about as sure a bet of anyone on the pop fringes; every type of influence wielded at once deliberately and effortlessly cool Neko Case - Hell-On - similar to Janelle's genre-defying music, just with an alt-country tinge; wonderfully personal lyrics Robyn - Honey - doesn't have the immediately danceable bangers of Body Rock, but grooves just as hard on multiple listens Pusha-T - Daytona - maybe the most reliably earnest rapper today, with such diversity in his cadence; unlike most mumble-rap, you can cleanly glean ever word, with the most interesting sonic production Push has ever had on a record; THE leanest rap record I've ever heard at just 21 minutes Brandi Carlisle - By the Way, I Forgive You - she's really upgraded to a wall-of-sound arrangement; just a kick-ass record Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurt - like the waning moments floating through space on your way to the Great Beyond Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer - although the first half of 'Pure Comedy' was perfect; the second half lagged, as good as it was; this record feels fully realized and more accessible; Tillman can just crooooon, man U.S. Girls - In A Poem Unlimited - genre-shifting dance pop of the highest order; maybe this is the music ABBA would be making today? Travis Scott - Astroworld - a pretty impressive amalgam of our current pop culture moment HM's to Jeff Tweedy's solo effort, Mitski, DJ Koze, Arctic Monkeys, Lucero
  3. And if we do nab Sanders, is Drayton still a trash coach?
  4. I agree with absolutely none of this.
  5. Why do we have to keep explaining Mack's recruiting failures had nothing to do with in-state vs out-of-state players and everything to do with how he pushed for commitments waaaay too earlier in cycles and never re-calibrated before NSD like every other major program does? Why do we need to keep rehashing this tired dichotomy of Texas vs OOS players? That "entitled prima donna" attitude doesn't come from any geographical affiliation; it's from taking early commitments and having no pressure on highly rated prospects late in cycles (see: OL recruiting the last decade). All this teeth gnashing should come with a little perspective: at least Herman and Co are finding good late-cycle takes (Ojomo comes to mind) to fill holes, even if it creates uncertainty around both signing days.
  6. Nawlins isn't for everyone; just people who want to have fun and eat incredible food.
  7. This has been said three straight years on this board.
  8. Uhh, did you watch LJH this year? The WV game?
  9. That's fair. I thought the intentions behind the aspect ratios paid off quite handsomely with that Hitchcockian "zolly" (zoom dolly) shot on Heidi. Check out this Esmail article about his use of the ratios to convey Heidi's headspace. (SPOILERS)
  10. Pretty dope they only used story from the first half of the movie for a teaser. Less is going to be waaaay more when it comes to teasers for this final Avengers.
  11. Segway: is Carter indeed transferring, @closetojumping? Haven't heard a peep. Ingram + Carter + Young seems like a killer backfield next year.
  12. Some of the surest TV direction and camerawork I've seen recently. Absolutely mind blowing use of the aspect ratios leading up to the payoff for *that shot*.
  13. Trey Sanders and Derrian Brown would be an amazing RB class, but not getting my hopes up with the "close to home" narrative from the parentals.
  14. You mean Nile aggy?
  15. Is this real or pure speculation? That would qualify as aggy-level self-sabotage. At the end of the day, no one was going to money whip Helton three years ago.
  16. It's interesting seeing the "lots of head cases and character issues" narrative chickens come home to roost. What a strange cycle at the top in-state.
