    Off-Topic Japan

    Went a few years ago for the first time. Stayed in Tokyo, the mountains, and Kyoto. I love Kyoto. Going again next spring, just in time for the end of cherry blossom seasons. Will be spending most of the time in Tokyo and Nara - which is between Osaka and Kyoto and includes a famous deer park...

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    Thank you. I'd read the $30 million number somewhere and you are right, that does make a difference. With that in mind, buyout funds are raised by private support, but so is NIL. IMO, our NIL will take a critical hit if Belichick is not our coach next year. I agree that every UNC coach has...

    I know that I am out of the "cable news" political loop, but when did CNBC go full foxnews?

    Off-Topic Hanna-Barbera? Looney Tunes?

    Thanks! I hadn't gotten that far into the wikipedia page. Checks out. I love Bakshi's response: "You could pick a still out of Lady and the Tramp and get the same impression. Fritz the Cat wasn't pornography. It was social commentary. This all smacks of burning books and the Third Reich. It...

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    After being in a $30 million hole because of the buyout? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that alone would eat into funds enough to set our next coach up for failure.

    Off-Topic Hanna-Barbera? Looney Tunes?

    I was kind of surprised to learn that Bakshi had worked on the show from '87-'88. I was mostly watching other things by that point, but Bakshi would become one of my favorite animators as a teen (first with Wizards and his LOTR stuff, and later with American Pop and some of his weirder stuff)...

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    Who the fuck has said that they "want" the above? I know that this response wasn't directed at me, but I also know that I am one of the people it is probably directed at. I'm talking about whether or not this season should lead to a termination of contract for Belichick - which comes with a...

    Off-Topic Hanna-Barbera? Looney Tunes?

    Was that during the Ralph Bakshi run? On a slight tangent - Might Mouse was what got me into superheroes in the first place. For those who don't know, I have a rather substantial comic book collection. Over the last year, I have focused primarily on original art and high grade golden age CGC...

    Politics Dick Cheney has passed

    Good riddance. Not a man that I agreed with politically, but he was also one of the few voices on the right who actively spoke out against Trump. It's interesting to me that most of Trump's right leaning critics who have held political office have been near death and, therefore, have had less...

    Politics MAGA/MAHA/TPUSA/Far Right coalition starting to splinter?

    Interesting choice of gifs; given Chevy Chase's checkered past, I wouldn't put him past being in the pro-Fuentes crowd.

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    I don't think anyone has been happy, or even satisfied, with how this season has gone down. In my opinion, the discussion now is - is there enough evidence to give Belichick another season? At this point, I'd say yes - largely because Mack left the cupboard barer than when he entered the...

    That's a bad look. Hopefully, no one saw it.

    UNC Sports Transfers from UNC to other teams (Rant)

    I have no hard feelings for our former players. It's the world we live in. I don't mind celebrating their successes, but what I don't like is folks using data on how well they do, or don't do, at their new schools as weapons against our coaching staff.

    UNC Sports UNC Football Catch-all | Bill Belichick Era underway

    Agreed. But that is only one side of the ball. Our defense, other than against Clemson, has improved significantly game to game, and is better than we have seen the last few years, albeit against a pretty lousy schedule...
