Yep, took that class. Was enlightening.

It still amazes me how similar our stories are sometimes.

Did he announce yet?

We will be fine.
And so will he.
Cal-Berkeley is a pretty darn good place to land from an academic perspective.
I suppose if you’re going to go to another PAC-12 school (which sucks, but nothing we can do about that), it’s nice to have a couple of west-coast-ivy-league options like Cal and Stanford.
And that is NOT IN ANY WAY a knock on the U. I’m…[Read more]

Are these two posts an attempt by Utes 69 / PhiladelphiaUte to establish an alt?

Just out of curiosity, are you a true anti-vaxxer or just anti-Covid vaxxer?
In other words, did you and your family receive the MMR vaccines? Do you receive flu vaccines?
Again, just curious.

Interesting.
I’m sure there’s a lot of Virginia Tech fans pretty pissed off right now. I know I would be if they put a Patriots logo on one side of the Utah helmet.

I could be wrong, but isn’t the reason Omicron is expected to become the dominant strain is precisely because it is more virulent than Delta?

7 episodes in.

Anybody watching this?

Ummmmmmmm becoming a new Blue Blood would definitely take some time. Yes, we’re on our way. But there’s no roll to slow – it’s going to be a slow roll regardless.

I am fully aware of what Blue Blood programs pull, get in booster backing, and earn in national titles and Heisman trophies, thank you very much.

It just dropped, an hour before I thought.

Time to get watchin’!

Or… again spoilers…

You’ve been warned…

They’ll just change timeline on some stuff so that she’s missing for a few episodes/half a season or something. Who knows. I know they’re not introducing Elayne until the 2nd season, and given that Elayne is prominent from the first book on, you know they’re going to have to move stuff around.

Rosamund Pike is the “name” for the series. She’s the big actress that they’ll all follow into the show, and then the Emond’s Field Five will really come into play on their own character’s strengths as the series unfolds, I think. I hear you, but again – I think it’s a bit of bait, and then switch to the true characters that play the most…[Read more]

Keep in mind that this is being made for those that haven’t read the books. Rand plays a pivotal role, but I don’t think his exact role (nor any of the other ta’veren) will really be addressed until a few episodes in.
On a related note and speaking of ta’veren, it’s obvious that they’re playing up the “who is the Dragon Reborn” thing.

So I guess he left the program some time ago, and this is just a formality…
My bad.

Also just found this, would be of interest to those who have read the books – Rafe Judkins basically doing a breakdown of the trailer, kind of fun stuff.
