I'm taking my department to see it for our christmas party (followed by lunch). We are seeing @ 9 AM on opening day than lunch and than I'm letting them go home. I'm guessing this is what it is for the secondary market sales. I'm seeing tons of sellouts in the Chicago area but there are so many theaters and so many screens there are still tons of shows with capacity.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) Derrick Henry would probably the most underwhelming winner in at least a decade. Figured voters may have learned their lesson on Alabama RBs after Ingram and (sort of) Richardson. It's pretty easy to play RB there. It is and I don't think he is the best player or even RB in the country but Mark Ingram has actually turned into a really good NFL back and Eddy Lacy was really good his first two years but clearly has some effort issues. Yeldon has been respectable as a rookie as well. Richardson has really been the only Bama bust at RB in the NFL recently (but he was an incredible bust).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) Completely disagree with about everything in your post. OSU last year is definitely better than this MSU team but Bama is much much worse. I never said Bama is better. They absolutely have been better on D this year and their secondary has been much less susceptible to big plays.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) Why? They have Jansen who is a beast. Also, going after Iwakuma. Without Greinke maybe they are thinking about going the Royals route of having an unhittable pen that shortens games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 04:22 PM) Horrible game, horrible loss. Might as well lose rest of games now. Yep. But no doubt they are going to finish 7-9.

And the Bears' season is officially over.

This is an unbelievably bad football game. Bears just got incredibly lucky there. If he intercepts that the Bears are pretty much done.

The 49ers are f***ing awful.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) Jeff Fisher is a horrendous coach He's unbelievably bad. I have no idea how he still has a job.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) Bama has no passing game at all. None. Last year they had the best WR in football and lost. I've got MSU by a score. Last year's OSU team was much better than this MSU team. And Bama's secondary is significantly better this year than it was last year and they are better on D overall. They aren't as explosive on offense but MSU is just no where near as good on offense as OSU was at the end of last year.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Dec 6, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) Clemson-OU Alabama-MSU two thoughts 1. All we heard from this committee was that OU possibly playing in Texas would be the luck of the draw. They wouldnt move teams around to get away from a home field advantage. So they get dropped for what reason? 2. I know its not based on style matchups but the Clemson-MSU/Alabama-OU would have been much more appealing. You'd have spread teams vs power teams but now its spread vs spread and power vs power. Seems like Alabama got the breaks here. MSU is the type of team that usually doesnt give Saban fits. Would've been interesting to see if Alabama could've beaten fast tempo teams like OU and Clemson in consecutive weeks. Eh, MSU beat the #4 team in the country last night. Not surprising they jumped from 5 to 3. The 4 teams that should be in this year are in so that is all that really matters.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 5, 2015 -> 11:55 PM) Ever since Cook got hurt, they have had quite the transformation into smash mouth football. It ain't pretty, but it works. So any chance Stanford passes Oklahoma after what the committee did last year? I don't think so. The difference was last year OSU was a 1 loss team just like TCU/Baylor and the Big 12 had two teams tie for their championship. It would be pretty absurd to put a 2 loss Pac 10 team in when the Pac 10 was pretty much garbage all year this year.

Wow, UNC just got f***ed over. Recover an onside kick but are called for offsides and no one was offside. Wow just wow.

Also, Gus Johnson is f***ing awful. Just atrocious. I still can't believe people like this guy.

Connor Cook's accuracy has been awful tonight.

f***ing Lions

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:39 AM) I know I'm debbie downer even as the team keeps winning, but man, it's really hard watching your team's backcourt go like 5-32. Pau and McDermott won the game. I think it is because they are winning the same way in the regular season that they have in the past and that the offense isn't looking better (in fact it is worse than at any point under Thibs).

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 11:25 PM) Groce is so, so bad. Go 2-20 from the field? Better play more and more of a walk-on who is a black hole on offense! Along PGs who are also black holes! Even sadder when Austin was awful on the defensive end. The lack of minutes for Jordan is crazy to me. He has been really good on the offensive end so far and he has good size for a guard so eventually you can turn him into a solid defender. If Austin, Tate and Lewis were great defenders I would live with them being on the court even though they are horrendous on offense (i.e Chester Frazier but while I loved Chet even he was a huge net negative on the court until his senior year where he became just passable enough of a 3 point shooter to not completely kill you on that end).

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 10:54 PM) Not sure how Groce survives another for another season. Agreed. It isn't like Illinois let Zook hang on too long or Weber hang on too long or Beckman hang on too long. Oh wait...

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) I thought Leron Black would be so much better. That injury has made him pretty worthless He still isn't moving like he used to. Better than a couple of weeks ago but there is no explosiveness at all right now which is a shame. Hopefully the athleticism continues to come back or else he is never going to be more than a role player. Also, I still cannot figure out why Jordan is playing less than Lewis, Tate and Austin. Those 3 are unfathomably bad and have no talent. I really don't give a f*** if Jordan struggles on defense at times because he actually can make shots and has upside. Also, use DJ as an energy player at times because he upgrades the athleticism on the court. 10 years of bad basketball now. Sigh.

Lol at that charge call against Louisville. Takes 2 if not 3 points off the board.

Michigan State has gotten a ton of calls tonight. Really one sided officiating.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 11:46 AM) Tennessee's 4 losses are by a combined 17 points. They're a couple plays away from being 10-2 or 11-1, I don't have a problem with where they are. Yep, with two of those losses being to Bama and Oklahoma and another being a 1 point loss to Florida before the Will Grier suspension. Having them ranked 25 isn't crazy.

It is astonishing how bad Kobe Bryant is. He really needs to stop shooting and let their young guys take the lead on offense.

Georiga fires Mark Richt. The amount of turnover in college football going into next is going to be insane.
