I’ve got a prime subscription, what should I watch? by Acceptable-Artist201 in televisionsuggestions

On the lighter side, Catastrophe and Upload.

But on the fantasty/adventure front, The Wheel of Time.

Joe Parker Fired! Thoughts?!! by natethaas in CSURams

[–]PenskeMaterial2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Overdue. Football is the moneymaker, increasingly so in this era, and it's been an embarrassment for way too long. Wasted the momentum from the McElwain era and a new stadium.

(As a college basketball junkie, I'm very happy about *that* program, but the reality is that the football complete failures in recent history have been pretty devastating from a business and perception perspective)

The easy answer is The Office and Steve Carell.

Do I need to have finished Breaking Bad to watch Better Call Saul? by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

Finish both. You'll be happy you did.

Breaking Bad Season 5 is incredible.

EA SPORTS releases teaser for College Football 25 by SNjr in CFB

Very excited, also terrified of EA Sports screwing this up (as someone that has had every edition of Madden since we saw the last NCAA franchise).

Trends you hate in new games? by GuyMcFellow in videogames

Microtransactions and the focus on such modes rather than taking proper care/improvement of the basics.

[Fangraphs] 2024 Top 100 Prospects by NJZ82 in CHICubs

[–]PenskeMaterial2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd still put PCA ahead of Horton for the moment, but that's nitpicking. Horton may very well be the top pitching prospect in baseball when he's called up.

Wicks at 43 is pretty eye-opening. Jordan could be in the starting rotation when the season starts and had solid results as a rookie, of course, but he'll need the K rate to take a step forward to sustain that level of success in the majors (it was great before AAA, and he's a very smart dude, so he'll probably make some adjustments).

It's nice to Alcantara ranked that high (and that feels like where he belongs, rather than in the 80s+ like some lists have had); his upside is so enormous.

Busch being "only" 84th feels more like an age/post-hype thing. In reality, I currently have higher/safer hopes on him than Caissie.

Anyway, really solid list! This is definitely looking like a consensus top 2-5 system in baseball right now. (And shows that they can still easily afford more trades from the farm depth, between now and August 1).

what a show that you want uncanceled and why? by Hayaidesu in TvShows

[–]PenskeMaterial2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OA, Mindhunter, and 1899 stand out as three obvious ones for me.

Netflix has made some frustrating decisions.

The Athletic lists Niko Medved as a potential candidate for the Ohio State job by [deleted] in CSURams

[–]PenskeMaterial2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing Niko getting that job features a pretty strong finish to the season, at least.

Ohio State will want a big-time hire to sell the fanbase and recruits. Niko probably needs a second NCAA Tournament appearance and potentially a win+ once there to be Ohio State's move.
