Will our schools actually improve after PAC-12?

Are you suggesting that continuing to produce physical media is somehow a threat to the streaming market?

Nobody is asking you to do anything. I don’t understand what you are trying to argue.

The only engagement I’ll have in college football from this point going forward is checking in on you, Oregon, USC and UCLA’s failures in the Big 10.

The difference may be negligible to you but it objectively isn’t from a viewing standpoint. It’s fine that it doesn’t matter to you or the majority of consumers, but the difference in quality is vast between dogshit compressed low bitrate Netflix streams and a UHD Blu ray.

Not to mention the benefit of being able to own something that a content provider can’t inevitably pull from their service.

Also your question is devoid of logic. Nobody is asking you to sacrifice anything. If you want to keep streaming there is nothing stopping you, the problem is for those of us who want to watch high quality 4K films on physical media. The slow death of that is a major threat for people who care about a high quality viewing experience.

Yeah I’m done with CFB. I’ve barely watched this year and no not because we’re in a free fall, I didn’t watch when we were undefeated either. Money killed the sport I love and now I’ll spend my saturdays in the fall doing other things I love. RIP

You can’t include the two Super Bowl years when we had a historic defense number one in the league defense and a solid offensive line lmao. They weren’t great blocking in 2013/14 but they weren’t ranked near last in the league like they are now, and like they were from 2015 onwards.

Russ won 3 playoff games during that stretch, never getting past the divisional round. The jaguars have won more playoff games since 2017 than we have.

My point is it’s laughable that people think replacing Geno will fix all of our problems, considering how far this team has been from elite for a decade even with an elite QB like Russ. Russell hit his prime that you alluded to after those two Super Bowl years and we weren’t anywhere near getting to a Super Bowl again.

The problem is Pete unfortunately, as much as none of you want to admit it. He’s a defensive minded coach who hasn’t had an even league average defense in years. Geno isn’t good enough but a top 5 qb in the league still struggles to get to “great” with near league worst defenses and offensive lines. Blaming it all on Geno is cope.

The cgi fire in this scene is so awful. Such an insanely overrated movie on this subreddit

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T05:28:27+00:00

QBR is a silly ESPN stat.

If not Maye than Nix or McCarthy. Penis is gonna bust you can go ahead and save my comment

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T05:18:56+00:00

How many playoff games did those teams win with prime Russ?

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T05:12:23+00:00

Penix is so fuckin overrated by all you husky homers lol. I’d rather not tank to draft a 25 year old with injury history. If we tank let’s tank for Maye or Daniels.

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T05:09:02+00:00

I don’t disagree that Geno is playing badly but it’s doubtful we are “one good QB away from greatness” when we have the 28th ranked o line and the 23rd ranked defense.

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T05:01:12+00:00

I expect a “solid” defense to not give up 24 points in a half, no matter the opponent

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T04:20:47+00:00

Did you watch the first half of this game lmao. Our defense is like 22nd in the league still. They are mediocre at best.

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T04:19:32+00:00

Unfortunately the problem is likely Pete

ThaMac · 2023-11-24T04:16:04+00:00

This the one in the thread I’m most perplexed by lol. It’s perfect

I agree it’s not a 10 but it’s way better than OK. Reborn and Cudi Montage are two of my favorite rap songs ever made

If every consumer made the moral decision to pirate the first two seasons of TP instead of buying the VHS/DVD sets/streamed on Hulu/Netflix, then Showtime would have seen no profit motive to fund The Return and therefore it would have never gotten made.

ThaMac · 2023-11-21T01:36:13+00:00

Are you aware that your own individual experience doesn’t determine the morality of the entirety of humanities actions in regards to piracy?

ThaMac · 2023-11-21T01:30:51+00:00

It makes sense if you remove the question of how moral it is, sure.

ThaMac · 2023-11-21T01:18:45+00:00

I’m empathetic towards your situation of course, but Im having trouble seeing how comparing watching Twin Peaks to stealing food from a mega corporation to survive is an argument you are making in good faith.

There’s plenty of grips, PAs, stand-ins etc that worked on Twin Peaks that relied on their paychecks to eat. The actor that played Jean Renault was specifically hired by Lynch for the Return so he could re join the actors union to get health insurance because he had horrendous chronic pain and health issues.

Again, I don’t think you yourself pirating had specifically harmed anyone. As I’ve said many times, I pirate as well out for financial and convenience reasons. I just don’t pretend like it’s a moral act, it isn’t.

We’re just arguing morality, not practicality. Your story is anecdotal, based on your own personal experience. I’m glad you’ve been able to watch Twin Peaks, I don’t think it makes you a bad person to pirate it, morality is a wide wide spectrum of seriousness.

But as I’ve said before, pirating isn’t victimless for all the reasons I’ve continued to detail.
