  1. Maybe it’s still good in Texas but Whataburgers in Oklahoma have gone to complete shit. Sonics are fading fast too but are better than Whataburger.
  2. Pair him with Rogan for all I care if it helps close the revenue gap. Shane Gillis too, then we can also get some regular Big XII content from Derka.
  3. Fuck Jerruh and FUCK THE EAGLES. Both valid opinions.
  4. Hawke’s character, Lee Raybon, is based on a real Tulsan, Lee Roy Chapman. The character is described as a “citizen journalist” and “self-proclaimed Tulsa “truthstorian” whose obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble.” Chapman was best known for an in depth article he wrote about one of Tulsa’s founders Tate Brady and his role founding the local KKK chapter and participation in the Tulsa Race Massacre among other bad shit. The part of downtown Tulsa north of the tracks and west of Greenwood was named the Brady Arts District. The main street was named Brady, a theater in the district was named the Brady Theater, and a nearby neighborhood where his mansion still sits was named Brady Heights. After the expose his name was taken off of all that stuff. I’m not sure if Chapman’s work directly involved other early KKK founders but after the Tate article other historical figures were exposed, including John Rogers whose name was on the University of Tulsa College of Law’s building and was thereafter removed. Sounds like this show has him doing similar stuff but exposing current day people. Really looking forward to this show. https://www.centerforpublicsecrets.org/post/the-nightmare-of-dreamland-tate-brady-and-the-tulsa-outrage https://www.centerforpublicsecrets.org/library/categories/lee-roy-chapman
  5. I’ve seen some clips and can discern that he’s a douche. If the conference makes significant money giving him a regular Big XII douche-bro hour on Sirius or some shit, sure go for it, money is all that matters anymore, it’s not like I have to listen.
  6. I think the expectation was that OU-NU would be a common matchup in the Big XII title game. It’s Nebys fault for sucking shit since ‘99.
  7. With lots of mayonnaise.
  8. So lots of mayonnaise?
  9. I’m focused in their statement that it was the other programs that opposed. Why would Utah, OKST, Tech, UCF, etc., be actively opposed to protecting that game? You can’t just say something like that without support.
  10. Re Farmageddon: So both ADs want it protected like BYU-Utah, etc., but the other programs don’t? I can’t think of a single reason the other programs would care much less be actively opposed. The unanimous opinion should be to protect the game. Is there anything out there providing any reasoning? @Al_4_ISU?
  11. Come on now, they’ll call you “deranged” if you point it out as insane bullshit.
  12. I don’t see any path to it being competitive. Our OL is still as bad as I’ve ever seen carried over from last year. Cannot open holes for the RBs or give the new QB enough time to be consistent. The defense looks better but will be in the field nonstop. It’s going to be ugly af.
  13. Haha! The conversation was about his first few starts at QB and he mentioned going to Lincoln when it was sleeting and he was bundled up while the Nebraska D-Line guys still had their half-jersey's with exposed bellies. Kinda funny.
  14. I'm pretty sure they are made by maga church people to try and soften their image. The specifics are pure CR, but I can assure you the people behind this are not "pro-immigrant" in any meaningful way.
  15. I wonder how many "edgy" jokes will be told in the coming weeks about Kam and DEI on Kill Tony.
  16. I've seen some clips from Kam Patterson, including on Kill Tony, and he's pretty funny, but sort of one note. Not sure how or if it can translate to sketch comedy, but we'll see I guess.
  17. An OSU fan somewhere sold their soul and the future of the program for those two last Bedlam home wins. He looked damn good in the two dives he got. Defense was a lot better. OL still stinks.
  18. This is where I’m at, great player, rarely seemed to be a game changer.
  19. Meh, seems fine to me, all things considered. LOL at any comparison to Luka. That was by far the worst trade in sports history, and in contention for the worst business deal of all time in any industry.
  20. We spent the previous several seasons winning games by tiny margins and needing big comebacks. It masked a lot of issues of coaching and depth. The OL was a particularly bad situation. Alan Bowman didn't forget how to throw and Ollie Gordon sure af didn't forget how to run. The OL had a few injuries and it all went to shit. Rumor I read was that the OL coach Charlie Dickey checked out a few years ago and Gundy was blind to the situation. Bowman was always a statue and needed protection and Ollie had no paths through the line of scrimmage. A few injuries on defense also was like a switch from decent to giving up 30+ yard passes multiple times a game. Most of all, in my opinion, the coaching staff got schooled on the portal. The rest of the conference used it wisely through lateral transfers while we only really looked to the lower divisions. Gundy has to shoulder a lot of that but I really feel his old school staff was likeminded and nobody really even tried to figure out how our competitors were using the portal. We did much better this year and I've read and heard that the defense looks much improved and much tougher overall. The OL is still a major concern. We're starting TCU transfer Hauss Hejny (Hoss Haney) at QB who was one of the fastest QB recruits in the country a few years. I think the hope is that his speed can get around some OL deficiencies. He's never thrown a college pass though so that is everyone's key concern. Nevertheless, we won't learn anything tonight (unless we lose in which case fuck it all). We'll do the typical Gundy vanilla playbook and likely escape with a 7-10 point win. Our best teams of the last 20 years always played G5 and even FCS teams close to start the season for strategic reasons that still don't make a lot of sense to me but whatever. I just hope we look competent and that we can avoid a blowout next week in Eugene.
  21. Oh don’t worry about that, erasing slave narratives from the Smithsonian will make it all better.
  22. I literally forgot the last game of the season until I went to calculate the dates lol. We literally gave up to get it over with.
  23. Zeus not only cares, he's absolutely giddy he can use this to rail on the existence of trans people. Just over the moon with excitement.
  24. Don't forget UT-Martin @ OKST tonight at 6:00 on ESPN+! Chance for us to win our first game in 348 days! I guess it gives us two extra days to prepare for the Oregon beatdown?
  25. Tarriffs are taxes. Tax cuts for the wealthy are upwards transfers of wealth. They are taking away Medicare. All of this is being screamed from the Dems and others. It's being hammered over and over. It's not working because the majority of American's are immune to facts or don't care. Newsom's tweets are more effective than all of that because it cleanly and concisely establishes that trump is a stupid piece of shit. We've established that the majority doesn't give a single shit about policy. Screaming it louder will not make a difference. They're doing it nonetheless and like you I can only hope that I'm wrong and it somehow breaks through by 2026 midterms.
