College football ......now what
- Thread starter soonerfastnloud
- Start date
I will be waiting for opening day, and hoping that the Cubs can repeat. Sooner football and Denver Bronco football are over for the year. I will also watch some golf as well. Bad time of the year for me as I don't really like to watch basketball.
Already another ballpark for the Braves? Geez seems like yesterday they moved out of Fulton Co Stadium to the Olympic stadium ballpark.
Let's get rowdy, proud and loud for yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur Dallas Mavericks!
And by that, I mean, let's win the lottery! tank, tank, tank, tank
It's a weird thing when you enjoy watching your team in order to root for them to lose.

Yeah, maybe the Braves can overachieve this year and get 75 wins.
OU's wrestling team just beat #5 ranked Missouri the other day. We could all try and get behind them and first year coach Lou Rosselli.
This thread is kind of depressing. Baseball...wrestling? BORING. Only what 9 more months till college football? Yeah I know, super bowl or something like that, but it's all pre-planned...or at least much less interesting to me. Pro Football is like WWE almost...reality TV without the reality....again...boring!
I can do a little March Madness if OU is in the mix, but apparently they've decided to masturbate themselves to sleep this year so it's going to be a long wait for something exciting.

Maybe the Yankees can do the same in the midst of a major rebuilding job.....but they're down for the count until 2018 or 2019.
As for the next 60 days, I can watch the UConn women and spring training (starting in March).
I will watch some NFL playoff games, but with much apathy.
I sat in the Astrodome and listened that catchy little tune many times back in the good old days of Bum Phillips. I had to first endure Ed Hughes, Bill Peterson and Sid Gillman. 
Thanks, PLS.....I'm a big Cagney fan too.
No one had a voice like him. Struthers Martin great voice too. Really getting nostalgic now.
I like the clip of Cagney dancing down the huge stairway. I think it was ad libbed.
I rate him as the greatest performer ever, even though he always played the same type of character in every movie.....his type.

Hey. There is life after college football, watch some old movies. Just needed a little motivation.
IMO, YDD was his greatest performance. One of my fav movies. I much preferred Cagney in movies that he wasn't typecast as a mobster but rather in flicks like The West Point Story, Mr. Roberts and A Man of a Thousand Faces to name my other favorite Cagney roles.
Did Cagney & Edward G ever appear in any movies together ? I know he was kind of hokie sometimes but Red Skelton had some chops too...
I can't recall Cagney with Robinson but he made a lot of movies with Pat O'Brien and Bogart. Good ones. And George Raft.
I saw most of a great, beautiful movie last night from 1978 starring a young Richard Gere, Brooke Adams & Sam Shepard: Days of Heaven
(but it was no YDD or Double Indemnity)

I've seen that movie. Kinda bummer ending, but a good watch. I'm a big Sam Shepard fan.
At 68, I still love the music of Bob Seger, The Eagles, Jethro Tull, Steely Dan.....but also the vintage acting/dancing/singing of Ginger Rodgers, Fred Astaire, Cagney, Bogart, Mitchum, Gene Kelly, Gary Cooper, William Holden, etc.
Two of the best war movies ever, IMO, were The Bridges of Toko-Ri (with a very sad ending) and Sargent York.
I'm starting to ramble..........
According to wiki, Cagney and Robinson first appeared on the screen together in Little Caesar in the early 30's
I was sitting on a park bench when I read this... I was eying red cedar with bad intent...
And Stalag 17 and The Bridge Over the River Kwai two other great Holden movies. I've watch Toko-Ri probably 25 times maybe more. When Holden and Mickey gets killed is a pisser. But I knew they were going to die when Earl Holliman got killed as soon as he jumped from the copter. Stalag 17 is on cable here in Tulsa next Wednesday at 12:30 am. I recording it to save and watch on one of our shitting winter Oklahoma days. Lol
The knock I read and heard about The Bridge on the River Kwai was that the Japanese were much more brutal and cruel during the actual event. Having read the book "Tears in the Darkness" about the Bataan Death March in 1942, I have no misconceptions of how vicious the Japanese were. I had to stop reading now and then to catch my breath over the cruelty depicted in that book.
Killing the Rising Sun (current O'Reilly/Dugaard book) portrayed their barbarism fairly well also.
I've never read about what went on because I know what is today hasn't anything to do about was back then. Same as know my kin may have treated blacks when I was just a kid. I don't want to be grouped with them. I not the same. I know this is weird but it's important to me.
I think it means you do what is necessary to win. If you lose a war, everything you value is likely to be loss forever.
