  1. The franchise will suffer more than Harrison will for what it will become. Too many established eyeballs that will fail to tune in on a show that trips over its own dick for quotas.
  2. I thought there might be a related thread on this topic? Maybe it was a prior "Help Me With This?" post. It took me a year to build my theater and finally got to fire it up in June. Paint was decided early on with Sherwin-Williams Tricorn black and Gibraltar. I chose the wrong flat base and it shows marring too easily. Will probably need to top coat it in the future. On the other hand, I easily found two fabric swatches from Guilford of Maine that GIK ordered quickly to match the finishes. The movie posters on the sides are GIK 4" Acoustic Art Panels with rock wool stuffing and printed acoustic canvas. The front stage is using GIK 244 bass traps in the corners, rear are GIK full tri-traps and GIK Polyfusors above the entry. GIK basic gridfusors are painted at the ceiling soffits between the Atmos channels.

If I were to do it over again, I'd build a box for the projector at the back wall or better yet, outside of the room. It's quiet but operates just behind the seating row and could use more throw distance and room for an anamorphic lens. I'd also like to eventually use a dedicated processor like an Anthem AVM 60 with a bank of amplifiers.
  3. The super-passionate keyboard warriors are calling out all the past contestants (who have fuckall to do with this) to "denounce" Chris Harrison and his take on the doxxing overreach. I wouldn't mind if ABC just kills the entire season as it is now, leaving everyone with the most boring cliffhanger in the history of the franchise. Resume with BIP, hosted by Wells, facilitated by a round of Covid/Gardasil vaccines prior to filming.
  4. Cancel culture got Gina Carano and Chris Harrison in one week. Ouch. They're going to have to edit the finale or have a very uncomfortable ending for Matt if nothing changes from here forward.
  5. Someone highly entertaining, but seemingly even more embarrassing. I wished he had women figured out before football., but some guys need an entire life to understand women. Probably a benefit to recruiting though.
  6. Easy sell to recruits but NFL coaching experience isn't above and better the faster-evolving college game, especially player development and offense creativity. If the NFL had that figured out, Sean McfuckingVay and coach Bro wouldn't be in the league. Kellen Moore wouldn't be interviewing for the Eagles nor hang his hat on the late-season production of Andy Dalton.
  7. "Make 'em Kwait defense" "Killed on the River Kwait defense"
  8. They're a paper tiger now, compared to what once was. The game has escalated to some pretty dramatic levels over the last decade.
  9. Makes me think if the bags started doing work for Sark in Austin, it would be aggy to either call us out on it or ratchet-up their game, long before OUsux would register a complaint
  10. The SEC hush-code: It just means more. I was nearly certain the fallout from Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss would have garnered attention to other *ahem* programs in the SEC-W, but nothing came of it.
  11. Bagmen. So easy, a Hugh Freeze can do it. Mark Emmert looking around the SEC like:
  12. The DSG in the R8 is solid. Do you plan to use launch control for AWD clutch dump madness as the odometer clicks over 100K? The mechatronics unit limits the number of LC activations to a count of 200 to save the clutches for you.
  13. No one has been able to get away with their own shrewd systems of recruiting or bothered to reinvent modern scholarship football the way Saban has either. Sure, other programs got theirs, but not sustainably. I'll credit Saban for his ability to keep it all together and rolling, through staff changes, brief successes of in-conference rivals and to closely regulate access to his program, better than the rest.
  14. Bagmen are being re-assigned this week, right? When's the first 'croot shipment? Once that pipleline is started, we gotta get the NFL involved, then it'll self-replicate.
  15. He's not wrong and I can't celebrate the things that make College Football enjoyable, knowing parity is lost and a coach heralded for this sort of dynasty is completely abnormal, not to mention, fueled by such a shady start, it can't be replicated. The Hugh Freeze out front shoulda told you.
  16. Maybe we're now witness to the reverse Mack, er, reverse Saban
  17. It's been a banner year for Coach Bro/sprinting midget and Baker Mayfield while Sean McVay is holding himself together with Goff. Too easy to look back into the college ranks and expect to pull out another hat.
  18. Current-era of football looks derpy and soft compared to the '05 and '09 teams.
  19. I'm still late to the party, but wondering how Muschamp was polled for his interest at DC *before* making the decision to keep Ash. One sorta implies the other, unless Sark's focus is entirely directed to the quick poaches he needs to make on offense first, then to evaluate the defense, starting with the Ash relationship.
  20. Beating OU with a Sooner Legacy at starting QB (Casey Thompson) would be sweet, icing on the cake would be to hold OUsux to a season-low offense production with their retread DC.
  21. Is this hire fucking with Nicky in any sense? That's the only redeeming sense of satisfaction I can garner from this today. Sark should be missing in Miami and Mac Jones throws four picks sort of freakout would at least make me feel a little better.
  22. Wonder which buddies he's going to call to fill the roster? Shouldn't take much to convince Tosh to leave Atlanta, come lock down this state and fuck with the rest of the SEC in 'croots while you're at it.
  23. I beat the everloving fuck out of my hands today, wrenching on the Audi. Hyperextended a joint in my thumb, blood blister on one hand and cuticles cut up, but maybe it was worth it. The weather and open afternoon put me to task on direct-wiring a CANbus-based exhaust flap controller, which reads engine load, RPM or the "Drive Select" preset in my car to set the valves open on the Akrapovic exhaust. Had to re-pin a CANbus connector and run a harness below the floorpan to intercept the stock exhaust controller wiring. Onto the engine bay, to resume the RS7 goods, this time with the OEM RS7 airbox and turbo inlets. With the cooler weather, that's enough headroom to flash to the Stage 2 file for a few more pounds of boost on 93 pump. Ethanol sensor and larger fuel lines to the high pressure pumps will follow, so I can give it all the ignition advance on E85 blends. Got to the turbos, compressors are super clean and no shaft play. A friend who casually wrenches on trucks said my engine bay looks like 100 pounds of shit in a 1-pound box.
  24. I recommend Wheel Repair Solutions in Carrollton, near I35 and Frankford. They do great work, can take care of the mount/balance job on the tire and it'll probably run a flat fee of $150. https://wheelrepairsolutions.com/ OEM wheel repair is their specialty but they can do some fun things to refinish stock wheels. I had a set where they powdercoated the inner spokes ("windows" and inside barrel gloss black, then machined on the outer face, and covered that in a tinted clearcoat. It gives the wheels a different dimension, kind of a graphite or bronze burst in sunlight, but the black windows go with the trim of the car. They did all that overnight for $550 on a set of forged 20x9" wheels, which I found a bargain.
