So, now that I've seen both movies, I'm completely mystified why Brandon Gray of BOM thinks the closest historical predecessor to The Social Network - con_carne Oct 11, 12:34 6
- both based on books by Ben Mezrich. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 12:36 1
  - This is correct. -- nm - David Oct 11, 12:38
- I'm guessing because both films had very similar opening weekend box office. -- nm - Inigo Oct 11, 12:36 1
  - He uses these comparisons as a BO predictor, though, and they would usually be in place well ahead of the opening -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 12:39
- based on a book about smart college kids making tons of money in fun fashion? (my guess.) -- nm - TFox Oct 11, 12:36 1
  - I'll buy this. Moving on... :-) -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 12:43

  - Does anyone have this guy's other books about Star Wars and/or Indiana Jones? -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 12:35 1
    - My library has a couple. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 12:37
  - It's a video about the book. Book link to Amazon here -- (link) - oblique Oct 11, 12:33 1

Brooks Conrad will not start tonight. Troy "Don't Make Me Move" Glaus is our new 3B, moving Infante back to 2B. - David Oct 11, 12:21 6
- Hindight being 20/20, why didn't Cox pull Conrad for a defensive sub in the 9th? (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 12:26 4
  - I can't decide if Bobby was wrong about this or not. - David Oct 11, 12:36 3
    - Yeah, I'm not saying he was wrong either, it just seems like a head scratcher. - musubi Oct 11, 12:51 1

new game corp spokesmen death match: Ronald McD vs Jack "Ballin" Box - Zeitgeist Oct 11, 12:08
Walter Jones was a better player in the early 2000s than anyone on the New England Patriots at the time. - crash davis Oct 11, 12:07 11
- Oh, that thread had me giggling. - David Oct 11, 12:12 10
  - I was just shocked on how you laid down and died for me. -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 12:14 9
    - Ah, more Pretend World posts. Boise State could win the SEC there! - David Oct 11, 12:16 8
      - well, I'm willing to match up BSU against any in the Pac-10. I gave you two chances to defend the SEC against the Pac-10 and you DUCKed (hi Redmond) - crash davis Oct 11, 12:20 7
        
        What I've said -- and you know this yet you pretend otherwise -- is that such a statement is so ludicrous as to not bear discussion. - David Oct 11, 12:27 4
        
        okay, I'll go slower - I can argue that Boise matches up against any team in the Pac-10. The Pac-10 by your third ducking of willing to take them on - crash davis Oct 11, 12:39 3
        
        I love that this is going so badly for you that you're describing total dismissal as tacit admission. - David Oct 11, 12:46 2
        
        So your not ignoring this years Pac10/SEC debate, your dismissing it? Good, because the Pac10 looks to tough for anyone from the SEC to beat -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 12:52 1
        
        Yes...and it only took you seven replies to notice! - David Oct 11, 12:53

  - of course! - kare Oct 11, 12:06 3
    - She should jump all over that. Offer to pay more if it seals the deal. - David Oct 11, 12:08
    - Break a window and go in. - Spawn Oct 11, 12:07 1
      - exactly, if they are in africa it means she can stay there for free! -- nm - dogbert Oct 11, 12:10
- oh, they were on a *mission* in africa, of course. -- nm - kare Oct 11, 12:03
Ok...I'm not Super College Football Fan Guy...but aren't teams scared of Boise St? As in, they won't schedule them? - Jim Oct 11, 11:57 14
- A lot of it has to do with money - Boise wants to be paid like a top-25 team if they visit, and no one really wants to play them in Boise - crash davis Oct 11, 12:05 4
  - A 33K capacity stadium doesn't help either. That automatically cuts almost $2M off the top. And how do they get way that blue turf? It is annoying - not2fast Oct 11, 12:11 3
    - Imagine playing on this -- (link) - Reagen Oct 11, 12:15 [youtube]
    - they've unveiled a huge expansion plan to be done in stages, but they don't know where the cash for stadium expansion will come from - crash davis Oct 11, 12:13 1
      - Yup. Never change it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 12:14
- Their ascension has been pretty quick. - Strongbad Oct 11, 12:02 3
  - and ultimately they will descend again, unless they find a crapload of money hiding somewhere - crash davis Oct 11, 12:08 2
    - They should remain good as long as you hang on to your coach. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 11, 12:11 1
      - thats it though, right now they are straining their budget - not because of Peterson but trying to keep his staff together -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 12:12
- All college teams are scared of all other college teams. They don't schedule much more difficult competition than they feel like they have to. - TFox Oct 11, 11:59 3
  - Which begs the question...how does Boise ever become a big time program when none of the big boys will pull up their skirt and give them a a game? - Jim Oct 11, 12:01 2
    - They could earn their way, if we had a playoff system. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 11, 12:03
    - That's the idea. -- nm - Every other conference Oct 11, 12:02
- They will not go *there* to play them, at least. - Spawn Oct 11, 11:58

      - Peyton Manning? -- nm - David Oct 11, 12:06 4
        
        No. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 12:07 3
        
        PAINTER!!!! -- nm - Jim Oct 11, 12:10
        
        is that why you're only 3-2 this year? -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 12:10 1
        
        Yet we are nearly tied with the best record in the NFL this year. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 12:12
    - I guess. Just seems like on some of these teams he'd at least be as good as what they have. And cheaper. -- nm - Jim Oct 11, 12:05 1

Weird thing I heard this weekend. Friend of mine was certain that cheese was basically mold. Where did that come from? - oblique Oct 11, 11:51 12
- some kind of bacteria -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 11:54
- "basically" is wrong. But mold is an essential part of many cheeses. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 11:53 2

        thank you. i'm so glad to hear that happy news and i wish you all the best. :) -- nm - kare Oct 11, 12:42
  - No, they *contain* mold. But they're still mostly not mold. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 11:58
- So is beer, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 11, 11:52
