Ewers looked OK to start out the Baylor game. While I don't have it down scientifically, I felt like after his whiff on the pass to JT, he was just not the same. (Or maybe that's just when I started noticing it.) I agree that he has to step up on the mental side of the game. I know the announcers were squawking about it, but I also thought his body language was not signaling a leader. I know he's another one of these "lead by example" guys, but I would have liked to see him settling and encouraging guys. I understand the quick bitch to Campbell on that sack play, but after the bitch, give him a pat on the back and build him up. One of the reasons that I feel Maalik has a better shot than a lot of folks are giving him is that very issue. Maalik is Ehlinger-like in his alpha-maleness and oozes leadership.
Totally agree on US v. Iran. I'm just getting a weird vibe. Similar to the Texas vibe of having no lead large enough to defend in the second half. I'm still completely pissed about the ultimately stupid, take-down of Bale in the box late in the Wales game. What in the absolute F were you thinking! That stupid, peewee-league decision snatched the W right from your grasp. It wasn't a necessary "professional" foul; it was just plain dumb.
On Spielberg, I actually didn't care for Lincoln. Love Daniel Day Lewis, but just couldn't get into the movie. I'm also of the opinion that Saving Private Ryan is too low on that list but wholly concur with Jaws on top. My top 3 would be Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List (as if you care - LOL).
