Remember 1988

Recommended Posts

that year was a blast. i finished high school a semester early and went to college outside of philly that january and had my 18th birthday there. that first semester i had one girlfriend from maine and two from long island in addition to one i left back home in north carolina and a few other flings. that fall semester in '88 i settled down to just one from upstate NY. and by settled down i mean i only messed around with one other girl from virginia.

 

i went to some fun concerts that year. def leppard (sooooo many girls in spandex), queensryche, whitesnake, acdc, cinderella, robert plant, and i'm sure i'm forgetting a few others.

 

i was looking at a list of movies that came out just to see and i was surprised at how many movies there were that i loved. tha adventures of baron munchausen and dangerous laiasons (both inroduced us to uma thurman whoch made them worth watching), young guns and die hard, beetlejuice, willow, tequila sunrise, biloxi blues, twins (don't judge me), the seventh sign, rattle and hum, big, the great outdoors, funny farm, the serpent and the rainbow, a fish called wanda, midnight run....nothing really spectacular in there but still some good memories.

 

there was this one wierd horror movie i remember seeing that year that i never heard anything about afterwards and i can't remember the name. i think it  was a movie about a serial killer showing up at a movie about some crazy guy who went on some killing spree. i'm probably confused with that last part, but i remember that pat of it took place at a movie theater. there was this one point in the movie that they showed one of those spinning hypnotic wheels on the whole screen. there was lots of funky stuff in it and i can't remember anyone that was in it.

 

tv was kind of meh, imo, that year. cheers, cosby show and a different world, and a few others, but i didn't watch much. we didn't have tvs in our dorm rooms. there was one in each dorm in the lobby and i never really had chances to control the tv and even then i rarely paid attention to what was going on.

 

looking back on that year, it was amazing how much i crammed into that year when it seems these years all i have to do is blink and it's over.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
