  1. Which should be unnecessary anyway because the universe is essentially infinite with infinite resources.
  2. I’m sure it’s just me but Bucky Barnes is the most boring character ever. When he showed up in Black Panther I literally had no recollection of who he was. I’m in on this for Yelena alone.
  3. I watch these things in binges and forget a lot of the details but still enjoy them. In the last month or so I caught up on the movies from Thor Love and Thunder through GOTG3, and the shows Agatha All Along and Loki Season 2. I do still enjoy them and I decided to catch up because Deadpool and Wolverine is on Disney+. Looking forward to it soon. The new shows look mostly interesting. Love and Thunder was my favorite, by far, I hope they appear somewhere in the new phase. I can’t imagine being young and wanting to start from the beginning. It’s why I’ll never watch Game of Thrones. I never started and it’s too much of a time commitment at this point.
  4. And yet you’re lurking their message boards in pursuit of a narrative. The “big bad Texas” mystique from all directions is because UT is “the Joneses,” Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, the team everyone loves to hate. The specific complaints are just filling between the lines. I’d just embrace it already. Anyway, it was before my time, but I always thought aggy was their primary beef back then ala Dickerson with each blaming the other for turning them in to the NCAA. My guess is the SWC left behinds like SMU would be madder at UT for killing the conference not NCAA shit. SMU was definitely cheating their asses off, not sure there’s any legitimate belief otherwise.
  5. Yeah I’ll need to see more bad years from OU before pissing on their eternal grave but I’m not sure they can continue to dominate in the new NIL world. The university is a financial disaster and outside a few oil guys the state is poor as fuck. You can’t discount recruiting though when you walk them through the halls with all the trophy’s and heismans so I think they should be able to still recruit well enough. I just hope the Vegetables era lasts as long as possible because he sucks shit. I’m sure OSU would still jump at an SEC invite but I’ve come around and am glad that it’s never gonna come. We have zero chance at competing at that level in recruiting, and even if Boone was still alive and making money and willing to pay, it would be a waste of short term dollars to try and out bid the blue bloods and wannabe bluebooods (Ole Miss, etc) for incoming players. I like our strategy of continuing to find the best three star potential, coaching them up, then paying to retain if necessary, and focusing on transfers from lower divisions instead of competing financially for five star transfers. This year is a crazy and frustrating anomaly, but I’m not concerned that we’ll be a long term cellar dweller in the Big 12. I don’t think anyone will be in that position going forward. UH and maybe Cincy are the only programs that might end up spending the majority of the future in the bottom half of the standings. The rest will fluctuate from year to year and make it interesting, although it’ll also mean that only the CCG winner gets to the playoff most years, which is fine imo.
  6. Ah the mighty ACC, being dominated by . . . SMU.
  7. At the end of Office Space I get that the fire burned up the confession but it was a computer crime, wouldn’t the evidence still exist and the investigation continue? It can’t be that every balance and electronic record of transfers and deposits just ceased to exist. There was real money at issue.
  8. "Quality of loss" has only been utilized one time in the history of CFB, to put Bama in the BCS title game over OKST in 2011. All the computers had OSU ahead based on quality of wins (Big XII was stacked with QB's that year and the round robin was brutal) but Bama lost to LSU in the 9-6 "Game of the Century" while OSU dropped an upset to ISU on a friday night in Ames the same day the very popular women's basketball coach died in a plane crash. The country was just dying for an SEC rematch. Not that the plane crash should matter too much in deteriming playoff standings but at least it's something wheras I have seen nothing whatsoever that excuses ND's loss to a mid MAC school. Yes, I'm still bitter as fuck, and will be til the day I die.
  9. Not football, but I kinda find it humourous that the "city edition" uniform is the only one that refers only to the state and not the city. Also funny to me because a lot of people in Tulsa were originally butthurt that they went with "Oklahoma City" and not "Oklahoma" ala Utah and Minnesota. I was on that boat for a little while thinking they needed support from the whole state to make it work in that small market, but they became really good really fast and OKC sufficiently supports the team. Most Tulsans who don't have other allegiences are mostly now on board. I'm just glad I don't have to pay for a billion dollar arena to replace the other one that is only 25 years old.
  10. I just saw that Notre Dame closes with Army and USC. I don't think they win out, so a 5th SEC spot will likely be open.
  11. I hadn't considered that ND is taking a spot. ACC and XII are definitely only getting one spot each this year.
  12. Wouldn't you have to lose both to be out? Seems a two loss SEC team is a lock, especially with UT's brand and assuming the losses are UGA and aggy.
  13. I think it’s more recency bias. BYU lost to KU so they got dropped. I think one of BYU or CU will win out and move up above Boise. Both would have to start losing to stay behind imo. The committees job is to cause discussion with stuff like this but to get it close to right at the end, at least financially. ESPN has too much invested in the new Big 12 to let them go full surly "BiG 12 iS ThE SaMe aS MwC."
  14. Your drunk self too good for a microwave?
  15. I get that a lot of the fans think he's a bad QB (I'm indifferent at this point just don't think he's anywhere close to "the" problem with this franchise), but where does "fake nice guy" come from?
  16. Peterson could probably still coach circles around fat Mike, might could get us back to they heyday of Jason Garrett 9-8 8-9 territory, or not if Washington actually stays decent.
  17. Agree he needs to go after Jerry, but the head coach absolutely matters, and is a problem because good coaches won't work for Jerry, so if he has the balls to pull the trigger on Fat Mike, it won't be a good coach, but another washed out piece of shit, maybe Belichek, but more like one of the Fat Ryan brothers. Might just fucking promote Mike Zimmer since nobody else wants his old washed up ass, which is right in jerry's wheelhouse. I don't see Deion being stupid enough to work for a piece of garbage like Jerry knowing that he'll interfere with literally every aspect of his team.
  18. At this point I want to see CU win the conference. Never been a Prime hater and it’s good for ratings. Won’t cheer against my own squad next Friday but it won’t matter since they’ll win by 40 either way.
  19. I only watched half the game. Ceedee Lamb is a fucking cunt. Staring back at Rush for bad passes while running routes at half speed. Trade everyone, burn it all the fuck down and start from scratch.
  20. TNT definitely better than ESPN+ (or cw, lol). Not a fan if any of the go exclusively to Max, just another service to buy, but whatever, this is the new world, better than nothing. It's clear that Disney was going to win that lawsuit, this was a way to save attorneys fees and maintain friendships with competitors it seems.
  21. Sure, I'll get right on that, lol.
  22. Literally everyone hates their officials.
  23. We’re giving up like 9 yards per carry. Sheduer might not get touched all fucking night and be the first player to run for 1000 yards in a game.
