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.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
