Yeah, the black helicopters are freaking me out. Been seeing them a lot lately. Some flew overhead about 6 AM the other day.
Has anyone seen my specialty plates?

Like Red Dawn!
By the way, if you’re from my generation and you didn’t sit in elementary or middle school class imagining what you’d do if the Russians started parachuting in, I’m not sure we could ever be friends.

Sounds like a line from a novel, not a normal 2017 person recounting something that happened to them yesterday

Such a great film.
As a kid I wanted to raid an outdoor store, stock up on guns and ammo, and hole up in the mountains fighting commies.
If you get a chance there’s a great documentary I highly reccomend on the writer/director John Milius.
Milius wrote screenplays for Dirty Harry, Apocalypse Now, & Conan the Barbarian amongst others.
After he released Red Dawn he was ostracized and blacklisted by Pinko Commie Hollywood.
It's not on Netflix, Hulu etc anymore, but you could rent it on iTunes or google I think.
Or, I found it online streaming:

Kind of related to secret squirrel stuff going on in the Air Force: A Brian Shul lecture on flying the SR-71 and a lot of facts about that mission. He was badly burned after being shot down in Cambodia, so it's part inspirational and mostly flying stuff, SR-71 talk starts about the 10 minute mark. Some pretty funny stuff as well.

Without watching the doc, why was he ostracized? Love that movie.

IIRC the doc talks about how the movie was considered a right wing piece that pissed off the establishment in Hollywood during the middle of the Cold War. However, Milius describes himself as a Zen Anarchist, not a conservative but more libertarian leaning.
I think others in the doc say that he wasn't blacklisted at all, but that executives chose not to work with him because his films weren't what they wanted to pursue at the time. Milius came up during the 70s with George Lucas, Spielberg, and Coppola. In the 80s, with Conan and Red Dawn he started to go down a path that Hollywood didn't want to follow.
Fun Fact: John Goodman's character in the Coen Brothers' Big Lebowski is based on Milius

Poster on 247(and here I believe)already claiming SR isn't going to be a good QB. Better serve us as RB. Unbelievable the ship people put on the www. So frustrating.

Just mind boggling. Serves zero purpose other than to come back in a couple years to say 'I told you so!'

I have no problem with him saying it if he truly believes it. I just can’t imagine truly believing that.
It’s possible that Shawn Robinson ends up not being a very good QB, but nothing points to that. He has everything you would want a QB recruit to have, both physically and between the ears.

Dumb football question:
Didn't the OL used to have to wait for the punt to be kicked before running downfield? Seems like everyone just takes off now. Last TT punt had no rush - looked like punter could have just waited for his whole team to get to the 10 yard line and then just kick it to them. Did rule change or am I seeing it wrong?
