I'm recently realizing the variability of having 6-8 legit independent programs may have been a key to college football being so great.  The bowl mix of some holes being filled by traditional conference champions + top-end indies plugging in here and there was great.

So basically the thing I've been doing for 20 years here with every prior version of the postseason.

Yeah.

I was just distracting myself from printing and cutting.

My kids are now at the age where showing them movies I enjoyed is fun. Back to the Future, should have just been a one-off. I thought I remembered the sequels being okay, but they are not

A distinct memory I have of bowls if how teams would be selected with a fairly large disparity in ranking.  You could see #8 play #22 at times, because of the conference thing usually.  The Peach Bowl would get the second ACC team while they might have the #6 or so SEC opponent.

One could see #1 play #4, while #2 played #7, and #3 played #5, and so on.

I never even told my kids there were sequels. Either 2 or 3 popped up on a Netflix search a while back and my son asked me "what is that?"  I replied, "Nothing."

I enjoyed the 3rd movie, the western.  I did not know at the time that a Clint Eastwood movie had done the same thing that Marty McFly did with wearing the bullet proof poncho.  That makes a lot more sense why McFly was calling himself Clint Eastwood,  so they were openly acknowledging they were ripping off an idea from a Clint Eastwood movie,  and also explains where Marty got the idea from.  Good thing in both movies that nobody shot at their face.

I enjoyed the part of the 2nd movie that tried to predict what future tech would be like.  Funny how can they could get it both so right and so wrong all at the same time.  Got pretty close predicting the Cubs would win the 2015 world series.  Just off by 1 year.  

Unfortunately the plot of the 2nd movie was pure garbage,  and once they left the future,  it was a complete mess.

That may have been on purpose.  Dicking around with time travel would create a complete mess, full stop.

I didn't know there was so much hate for the second one. The future was interesting, and then they had to avoid detection while prowling around the scenes from the first movie. 

The third one's a little weird.

I know it's a comedy and you are not supposed to think about,  but if you think about it...

If old Biff went back in time and changed the future,  how did Old Biff get back to the original future where Doc Brown and Marty were looking for the DeLorean to go back to the original present.

Then they leave Marty's girlfriend in the alternate hell hole present while they go back to the 1950s to change the past AGAIN,  how did Marty's girlfriend get from the alternate present to the brand new present?

Oh never mind.  Just don't think about it.

I think I saw a website once that said 21 different time-lines and/or alternate realities were created during the events of the BTTF trilogy.

Most movies you can't think too much or they're ruined. 

Biggest reason I don't watch movies

This one always bothered me. Old Biff went back to 1955 alone to give himself the almanac, so old Biff should have been the only one that didn't get altered into the version of himself from the alternate timeline that he created. 

He should have returned to the 2015 from the alternate timeline that he created, with an alternate timeline Doc, Marty and Jennifer that didn't find any of it out of the ordinary.

The worst one was Escape from the Planet of the Apes. With just a few lines of exposition, they expect the audience to believe that Cornelius and Zira somehow anticipated that Taylor would make a heat of the moment decision to blow up the Ape planet at the end of the previous installment, and believed it with such conviction that they were inspired to retrieve his spaceship from the bottom of Lake Powell. Then they were somehow able to repair it back to working order, even though they were from a primitive society of apes that didn't even have cars. On top of that, they were able to pilot the ship out into space, and backwards in time to 1973? GTFO. I'd like to see that movie. 

Besides. If it was so easy to retrieve the ship and fix it that a couple of horse-riding apes could do it, then why in the Hell didn't the three astronauts just do that in the first movie, instead of living out the rest of their days on the Ape Planet?

They enjoyed the perception of what 2015 would look like.

Any of the time travel movies get into conundra, if that's a word, I think, for good reason.

Imagine you could travel to a planet 100 light years away at "warp speed"and had a telescope powerful enough to see Earth.  You'd be looking 100 years into the past.  So, you return to Earth at "warp speed", and when are you?

How would the Earth be in the same place every time? Was the flux capacitor supposed to be the center of the Universe, with everything else moving relative to the DeLorean?

Obviously the Earth's gravity field holds the car in the same geographic location in relation the the center of earth as the DeLorean travels through time.

Or you just float in space for awhile until the earth hits you at 67,000 mph.  Same-same.
