    Bobby Dodd Renovation in the NE Stands

    That rendering looks much better than the first one that came out.

    Conference Realignment

    Seemed that way to me too. I remember thinking that the prestige of the B1G compared to the ACC should have made this impossible to turn down.

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    My wife and I are always looking for a good series to watch and get frustrated at how many we quit watching because they are just kind of second rate. We recently finished Manhunt, a limited series, about the assassination of Lincoln and the search for the killer. It could have been so much...

    Conference Realignment

    It is also annoying, if one likes logical arguments, to state an abstract principle but not have the facts on the ground fit the principle. Committed to academics? Joining the B1G does not violate that principle in the least but having Louisville join the ACC probably does. I would have liked...

    Conference Realignment

    Is this thread dealing with anything real yet? Other than the possibility that FSU just wants to get everyone rolling around in the mud so that allowing them a favorable exit limits the PR damage for everyone, I just don’t see anything that’s come to light that tells us anything. Maybe I’ll...

    Option Football

    I think this is correct. It is a misnomer to say that any play perfectly executed will result in a touchdown. Lots of plays are designed only to pick up the necessary yards in a given situation, whether two yards or twenty. The option creates a mismatch which, when coupled with a wrong guess...

    I was amazed how how quickly the project in Boston went from concept to completion.

    I'm starting to hate FSU fans.

    I had to come on this thread to see who was just now starting to hate FSU fans.

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    So much about Slow Horses to like but I just got tired of it. I don’t mind a slow pace but it felt after awhile to me that the systemic conflicts were just being recycled in different packaging. But I’m not offended if someone liked it. There are a few on my list like that. Liking some...

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    Wasn’t the last episode of Seinfeld kind of one long take on the joke that “Seinfeld was really about nothing?” It didn’t work but had a kind of Dadaist feel in the attempt.

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    I went through a period where I said, “That’s it, I’m not watching anymore series,” but then I discovered The Wire. And that’s my problem. I discover a good series and then I keep looking for the next “masterpiece.” Then I hate myself all over again. 😊

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    Felt so good to start with but jumped the shark after a while. I finished it but was sorry I did.

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    I hung in with Walking Dead longer than that but by the time I quit watching it was making me angry. It devolved into a predictable formula. They ran out of ideas and tried to keep it fresh by killing off favorite characters. I was amazed that it kept going for so long after I quit watching it.

    TV Series Not Worth Finishing

    Other threads have discussed TV series that are worth streaming and perhaps from these recommendations you have discovered new favorites. I could list several TV series that I fell in love with and highly recommend. But what about those series that came highly recommended, or that started off...
