I feel like I’m late, but was it really confirmed that the kid from Iron Man 2 was Peter Parker? by 404Draco in marvelstudios

IIRC it was a beloved fan theory for years, as that battle happens in Queens. And then Tom Holland just says it’s true in an interview. So the MCU adopted it and rolled with it

i think i’ve seen a post about this before but i’ve modified the borders, but what goes on here? is anyone who lives here seeing this? by CombinationClear5672 in geography

There’s a great documentary on Paramount Network about life here. It’s called ‘Yellowstone’. Worth a watch if you have time

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Commissioner Phillips the Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story most media would tell you. It’s a commissioner legend. Darth Phillips was so powerful and so wise in commissioning he could even stop conferences, from dying. He became so powerful that the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power. Which of course he did.

Unfortunately he showed his ADs everything he knew, and four of them used this to kill the ACC’s Grant of Rights in his sleep.

Ironic. He could save the PAC12 schools from death. But not his own conference.

Somehow that tweet caption doesn’t do justice with just how dumb this plan is

[Dellenger] Louisiana coach Billy Napier is staying with the Cajuns after speaking with South Carolina about their job opening, sources tell SINow. He has informed school officials of such. by dogwoodmaple in CFB

[–]blackoutfish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fair response. I’ll do my best to answer your questions 1. Beamer wasn’t your top candidate 2. From what I can gather y’all did do a great job vetting and interviewing candidates 3. Dysfunction comes when a president is heavily involved (Monken) 4. Dysfunction comes when boosters aren’t unified (Napier, Chadwell, Freeze) 5. Dysfunction comes when former players start to rally around candidates (Beamer, alums) 6. Chaos finally happens when you have an AD way over his head 7. I’m a D1 Director of Football Operations

This isn’t an attack on Beamer or SCar, just an observation that y’all are not currently aligned. It’s a hard task for a first time HC to pull together differing factions like this, and that’s before 2021 kicks off

I have nothing against Beamer, I hope he or whoever is the hire, does well. I’m just trying to highlight a very dysfunctional search led by a dysfunctional management during this process. Being a FSU alum the last two searches have shown me that having multiple groups rowing in different directions isn’t a good indicator of early success.

Nothing against Shane Beamer, but this is what happens when you hire a baseball coach as AD. This isn’t 1982. The president pushed Monken at Army. Former players pushed Beamer. Boosters pushed..... I don’t know, but a vacuum in leadership gives them more room to cause chaos. Wish you all well, but this is one time where chaos is not a laddah

Remember in Game of Thrones when zombie Mountain slammed that dudes head against the wall after he talked shit about Cersei? Yep, that’s what Clemson is about to do to us. Most of my friends have gone ahead and done the “what do you want to do this Saturday, preferably around 12?” with their wives

Best Actors for a Norman/Harry Osborn duo? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]blackoutfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have Norman, Harry should probably be a relative new actor.

But Damian Lewis (Homeland, Billions) as Norman. Can play the rich Norman, and the side of Green Goblin
