    Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

    You're a stronger man than me if you can resist the smell of movie theater popcorn! Besides, it's all about entertainment. If I have to sit there miserable while resisting my popcorn cravings, what's the point? It's just easier to watch the movie on TV at home. The Cinemark theater in...

    Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

    Perhaps, but I'll spend more trying to fly into or out of Missoula, vs Bozeman, than I will save on the popcorn prices. Lol. Not to mention its over 3 hours away.

    Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

    About a month ago, I had to pick up my wife at the Bozeman airport around midnight. I decided to go to a movie to kill some time between my other activities in Bozeman and her flight arrival, so I ended up seeing Backrooms at the Regal Cinema purely because of the start time. For a single...

    July 4th: I’m almost 50, but I’ll never stop loving…

    For the first time ever, we drove over to Butte, MT to see their fireworks display above the big "M" at the top of Uptown. It was a pretty good display. The people of Butte spend tens (hundreds?) of thousands of dollars on their personal fireworks as well, so when they are all launching them...

    Back to normal in September 2027?

    I don't know the details about the planned timeframe, but I suspect things will not be back to normal around the stadium by September 2027. The fans who are being relocated to make room for the suites aren't even going to be displaced from their seats this season.

    The logic of soccer

    I've watched more soccer in the last few months than I have in the entire rest of my life combined. I admit, it's growing on me. But I have concluded the offside penalty is probably the worst penalty in all of sports. When you combine that with video-assisted-replay with the computer...

    Ohio State and now Louisiana State and few others. Hope South Carolina does NOT follow this trend.

    You know it's fake because there's no good way to monetize changing the field color. All improvements to "gameday experience" now are about making more money. Now, maybe if Purple Power Degreaser paid them $10m to paint the field purple . . .

    Nike Brings Changes

    As I posted in the other thread, getting fabric to match the official pantone color is nearly impossible. And nobody cares but us. We all have tons of Gamecock shirts, hats, flags, backpacks, drinking glasses, notebooks, Christmas ornaments, car tags, and every other piece of paraphernalia...

    I just heard we were switching from UA to Nike starting tomorrow. ****

    The article calls it "crimson," but I think people make too much of minor changes in color being off from the "official" color. Generating the exact same hue and shade/tint across materials is nearly impossible. Cotton, polyester, oil paint, screen pixels, enamel, vinyl, etc. are all going to...

    BREAKING: Five-star cornerback Josh Dobson commits to South Carolina Gamecocks

    The only thing that matters is if he understands the definition of "commitment."

    🇺🇸 USA vs Bosnia Herzegovina 🇧🇦

    Doesn't FIFA have the ability to review the call after the match and potentially overturn the red card in regard to his ineligibility for the next game?

    Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

    I try to support the local theater when they have a movie that isn't about superheroes, toys (transforming or otherwise), vampires, or is a remake of something that shouldn't have been remade. Which means I go to about 2 per year.

    It's nice to see instant replay in soccer is just as stupid as it is in college football

    In your example, I'm not even sure that slow motion or a still photo reveals the violation. Not until that computer-generated blue line is created can anyone tell for sure that his toe is behind the defender. Instant replay is likely here to stay, but sports governing bodies should do away...

    Does anyone give a hoot about the World Cup? I won't give a nickle to see any of those games. I know a man in Pa that paid

    I mean, I _could_ get struck by lightning this weekend, but I doubt it. I'm no soccer expert, but from what I've seen, we're capable of being a cinderella team, meaning we're probably good enough to upset anybody if some breaks go our way in a game, but I can't see this team upsetting 3 or 4...

    I'm not sure UNC is aware that they are a hated rival of South Carolina

    Their ignorance is reason enough to hate them. I was born after SC left the ACC, so my hatred for UNC has nothng to with the old ACC rivalries. I've just come to hate them based on the UNC fans I've met over the years.
