  1. Fuck notre dame
  2. All those things make complete sense to me. I’m still going to bitch about it. Got to, this America man /RIP Snot Boogie
  3. That and their stable of 4/5* players ensure some level of continuity as injuries pile up. For us (osu), the invested time/resources it takes to find a 3* diamond in the rough (especially OL) means when they go down the next 3* underclassman behind them is going to struggle. And time slot absolutely matters. Some folks like me will check scores to find interrelating games during each tranche of matchups at a particular time. WVU/Houston last week was an incredible game, and outside of my investments in combustible couch suppliers, didn’t really have an interest if you’d asked me about it the day before.
  4. Oh boy that’s a personal gripe of mine…commercial real estate prices collapsing + tax breaks being threatened = let’s enforce blanket policies to require folks in the office regardless of personal or professional circumstance. Meanwhile residential RE still a scarce resource…but we can’t be bothered to consider converting empty offices into some form of residential facility due to cost, zoning laws or sheer willpower by rich business owners/executives to force a square peg in a round hole. So now I waste an hour round trip in my car 3x a week, to waste 20 minutes looking for an open hotel cube, to waste a few hours slowly getting more frustrated listening to loud ass talkers on conference calls that aren’t even in my org, to realizing the handful of folks in my org I actually want to talk to aren’t even coming in today, and finally saying screw this…just to go home and get actual work done while doing laundry.
  5. Dude…we get that Texas/BlowU are big blue blood draws, the monetary value of the conference is taking a hit, and hell I own UT gear / occasionally got to games with friends at DKR / enjoy Texas fans / been to a Surly tailgate / married to a double longhorn. I’ve really enjoyed the Texas/OSU series last dozen years, win or lose. But for ever living butt fucking Christ… Football exists outside UT/SEC. Let the adults talk, I’m learning shit here from guys like TK…go back to the kids table with your weird cousin over there eating boogers and suspiciously pocketing the canned cranberries.
  6. If there was ever a time wherein I wished @MrPhlegm and @CHAD BRISCOE produced an offspring solely for my amusement here, it’s right now for this thread.
  7. Watching on my Firestick…and just got a fucking Christmas-themed ad for a law firm. On October 15th. Kill me
  8. Going back a page, people don’t really seem to understand incremental tax rates on income…wish Biden’s tweet woulda mentioned that they’d only be taxed 25% on INCOME over a certain threshold. Drives me nuts when dumbass mouth breathers talk about ‘punishing extraordinary people’ by ‘taking’ their money. No bitch, they need to get taxed at higher income above certain levels you will never see in your lifetime…getting you one dollar over the bracket doesn’t suddenly mean all your money is taxed at the higher rate.
  9. I few like AgWithKids or whatever is your evil twin, because that dude is the anti-Aggie08
  10. I think it was a mistake to start this thread on a bye weekend
  11. Thank you sir, I’ll gladly accept The First Annual Pretty Decent Award on behalf of us Pokes. Except that GoPokes83 assclown, rest of us collectively disown that turd knife. I wasn’t called out by name but I’ll “such a lovely story” y’all by saying I came here because someone on the defunct OrangePower board called this place out as “full of deranged idiots” and knew I had to check that shit out…but lurked for a year until 2011 when I finally had something funny to contribute. I’ll forever consider myself a guest yet this is my ‘home’ on the internet. I’d say years of mediocrity (we went 3-8, 3-8, 4-7, 5-6 from 98-02 when I was in Stillwater) makes us generally humble, but Kansas was even worse yet their fans on the KU/Pokes thread on Reddit yesterday had them showing their ass acting like they were gods gift to football…so I dunno. I learned humility watching my dad’s USAF career progression, going AD as a captain and retiring full bird, but treating everyone equally with respect…enlisted folks loved him for that, and it made an impression. It’s also why I didn’t go to OU, they talked a lot of shit on OSU during my visit. Woulda gone to UT but a decade of living on base had me uncomfortable living on a huge urban campus.
  12. Which one of these is you?
  13. Regarding checking chair bags, they started that last year. I know this because I’d been hauling in soft flasks of my wife’s tea vodka for a decade without issue, by stuffing them into the padded headrests of our folding chairs, until 2022…when the guy obviously found it, gave me a chided look and didn’t appear to buy ‘my wife made me do it’ excuse. Throwing those old chairs away on Sunday 2022 before walking to our car was incredibly awesome. I finally felt free from being a mule (outside of my D9 gummies)…naturally now us husbands jam a soft flask into our waistline. Whatever, it saves me money.
  14. So people with mental health issues shouldn’t have access to guns. Glad we agree.
  15. I dont know about running, but I’ve driven through Lubbock twice and both times the smell of petroleum and pig shit wormed it’s way through the air filter in my car.
  16. Yeah didn’t realize I was tagged in this post six weeks ago, my bad. Once I got past 40, i sort of stopped having the tv tuned to games all weekend at home…love watching football with friends, but it’s not as intense a connection anymore. Regarding Gundy…only real gripe is blind spot for quarterbacks over the decades. Not sure if it’s due to his playing days or what, but he finds ways to fuck with it regularly…we all thought Bowman was brought in specifically to let Rangel/Gundy season up but instead he fucks with it. He stops fucking with it, look what happens…state of Kansas 2023 champions. Stop fucking with it, Mike.
  17. WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK!!!
  18. Dana, our OC sucks ass. You suck as an HC. Let’s talk - desperate osu fan
  19. Quarterback throwing dimes = try to run it like 1980’s Nebraska
  20. Not catchable? Ball almost hit him in the nuts
  21. Does anyone there give a shit? It’s quiet as fuck. This has been a helluva game, between two shit teams of course…but y’all with the Cougar High are spot fuckin on
  22. Those people have proven, over and over again, to be beyond reach of any hope. This morning on npr they were interviewing a woman who was against rabies vaccines for pets, despite scientific evidence that side effects are incredibly rare while rabies is always fatal. Her response was that she lives her life unconcerned about rare events like rabies, but once saw a dog ‘act strange’ after getting a rabies vaccine. Literally contradicted herself, without irony, in a single sentence on national radio.
