3 years 10 weeks ago	Saw it opening night where	Saw it opening night where they also screened the live Colbert interview with Jon and Maziar afterward. I really enjoyed it, I thought it was a good movie, not great. A well acted character study. I think people wanted it to more political and biting than it was, but there is a lot of "ha that's a Jon Stewart thing" that does pop up. I know that some people didn't think it wasn't LOL funny enough, but I went with my husband and a friend who often goes to TDS tapings with us, and we cracked up quite a bit. It's subtle humor and it's there for sure. I'm not entirely sure what people were complaining about. It has some problems for sure, but coming from a guy who has spent the last few years behind a fake newsdesk on Comedy Central and not in the script writing/directing world? It's a promising and worth watching debut.

3 years 14 weeks ago	I wouldn't say what Honnold	I wouldn't say what Honnold does is easy by any means. In what world is free soloing a 5.13b easy?  Or doing a solo of El Sendero Luminoso? It's not the Dawn Wall for sure but come on. Unless you're Chris Sharma or Adam Ondra, it's ludicrous to be looking down at climbs like that.
3 years 14 weeks ago	Well I was saying that	Well I was saying that Honnold has more in common to Caldwell and Jorgeson than the French guy does to the two of them. Not saying that Honnold and French Spiderman don't have anything in common. But Honnold is known for his (repeated) ascents in Yosemite  (both free solo and free climbing) and he has partnered up with Caldwell and Jorgeson in the past for other climbs (ie. Fitz Roy last February).  The free solos that Honnold does do are probably easier, but at the same time, that must mean his climbing level must be a lot higher to be able to do them without roope. IIRC, Honnold's climbed up to 5.14c, but don't quote me on that.
3 years 14 weeks ago	Of the free soloers out	Of the free soloers out there, Alex Honnold is probably the one I'd compare to them. Not French spiderman. Urban climbing is definitely loads different from rock. I think Alex was at the top waiting for them which is a nice show of solidarity.

3 years 18 weeks ago	I know John Harbaugh and Papa	I know John Harbaugh and Papa Harbaugh are very close with Hoke, I didn't think Jim was.
3 years 18 weeks ago	If you were fired from a job	If you were fired from a job you love, would you call the person that everyone believes would be the person best to fill the job you were fired from? Unless Hoke was given a position within the AD, I don't see it happening. He wouldn't call the Harbaughs and say don't let Jim take the job, but also would not call him to beg for him to take the job. Quite honestly, Hoke probably needs to take a step back and re-evaluate his own life. He just lost the job he was building his career up for.
3 years 19 weeks ago	I didn't think that he'd be	I didn't think that he'd be allowed to go since he was fired. I don't think someone who was fired would be allowed to go the company holiday party, but I don't know how things go in the coaching/football world. Still, I'd be too embarrassed and depressed to go. A room full of people you've disappointed, wanted you fired, or fired you, on top of losing your dream job that you utterly failed at? Geeze.The guy went for his players and it's really commendable.

3 years 27 weeks ago	I think Hoke could do well if	I think Hoke could do well if he fired some of his assitant coaches who've been with him since Ball State. Funk is not developing the O-line. I don't know why Michigan's OL with 5 star recruits is at the same level as PSU who couldn't really recruit due to scholarship issues.  I suspect Hoke is still coaching the d-line more than a normal head coach should be and is covering for Mark Smith for some reason just like he did in Ball State (there was an article written by a former Ball State player(?) who basically said that Hoke was basically their DC for the last two years at Ball State because the previous 4 years of Smith at DC were awful). The fact that Hoke can't make the coaching changes due to loyalty and friendship probably means he's not going to be the right coach at a school like Michigan. However, if he did I think Michigan would have had a chance. I think it's similar to the Beilein situation where once he cleaned house, there was a huge shift in what the team was able to do. I do think it's too late for him to do it due to the anger of the fans and the tumult of the season.
