My sister-in-law lives a poor iron shot from Oglethorpe University. Nobody else understands why I always say lets go over to Ogie Ogilthorpe for a run or play some sport of their field. My wife's family has no good taste or basic cultural references.

We'll start at 9:10 p.m. ET as usual and take a break immediately after the Hanson brothers' first game. We'll pause on the scene immediately afterwards with the team owner clipping a story out of the newspaper.

I haven't seen Slap Shot in awhile and found myself looking forward to seeing this a little more than I was already as I fast-forwarded through to find a good place to pause about halfway through.

I saw it once in its entirety, shortly before graduating college.
So, quite close to "never seen it" for me.

I have Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on my DVR as well. Might watch that after this if I'm not too loaded.

The stereotype of the French-Canadian goalie with poor English skills might have started with this movie.

I always thought Newman was impossibly old to play Reg Dunlop, but hell he was about the same age as Gordie Howe around this time.

Feels like there was accepted architectural design for bus/train stations.

Haven’t seen this in years. Didn’t remember so much Fleetwood Mac.
