    What would cause TJ to move?

    I'm sure they'd do a great job boxing me out.

    What would cause TJ to move?

    No inside knowledge here but a serious answer to @t-noah and the question... -- The most obvious one: Pollard has to retire at some point. He's already had one serious health crisis, and while I'm sure being the Iowa State AD is fun, he can't work or live forever. New guy or gal comes in and TJ...

    Maybe they’ll port over the FB ones. Wouldn’t you want Utah/BYU to have a home and home every season if you could, etc.?

    Picking up on your previous point, yes, I don't think God Emperor is filmable. Basically nothing happens. It's a philosophy treatise, not really a novel. Trying to keep this as generic as I can given this is a family site, though I would be very interested to see how somebody would even try to...

    It does become supremely weird once you reach Children. And then exponentially so with God Emperor. I never thought Heretics and Chapterhouse were very interesting or additive to the original trilogy. God Emperor is a very interesting meta-commentary on the first three if you can get into it...

    C-Willy and @brentblum keep emphasizing being >#50 in both offensive rating and defensive rating is essentially a prerequisite to be a contender for the national title. So, if you filter the Torvik rankings right based on those criteria, then one of the following teams will be your national...
