Realignment talk not going away
I have zero argument if you want to say that our stadium isn't big enough or we don't get enough attendence, or Stillwater isn't a big enough town. It's the "freerider" tag that I think is stupid. Kansas is a freerider. Kansas State is a freerider. I also have zero issue with Texas. We weren't conference mates for that long, we rarely played before the B12 started. I don't blame them for leaving. Fuck ou though.

I agree. As an OSU fan, what more were we supposed to do? We got a BMD to pour in cash. We hired good coaches. We haven't had a losing season in 15 years, won a coference title and played for several more. We're in the top 10-12 in wins over the last decade. And for that, we're called a leech? I feel like we did our part.

Off Grid Alaska
My buddy was stationed in Alaksa (Fairbanks) for years while in the Army. He loved it but he said the exact same thing about the natives.

Celebrity Death Pool - 2022
Johnson caught two 2 pt conversions in a game once, got me a win in my fantasy league. I always remembered him after that. RIP.

Corebridge Financial (formerly AIG Retirement) announced over 700 layoffs today. Mostly Texans.
I know someone who was at AIG and got laid off last year. Had a sweet gig, working from home and making bank. He had been there over a decade as well. Sorry this happened to you and I wish you the best of luck.

The 150th Open | St Andrews | 10-17 July 2022
I know this was said in jest but Jack talked about it when Tiger got married. Said it makes golf tougher because of the family commitments and so much more going on in your life. Golf is forced to take a back seat.

Do you think there's tons of blue bloods that want to play us? We've won 8 or more games in 8 of the past 10 years. Why would Ohio St want to play us? They can play ou or texas for more viewers/cred, which eases the blow if they lose. It's a lose-lose to play us. They're supposed to win, so the win doesn't mean much. A loss is a disaster. Frankly, it's like OSU playing Tulsa. I hate it, there's no upside. (Also, we played Florida State in 2014, lost by 6)

ou plays one P5 non-con game a year and 2 scrubs. Has done so for years. That's "heavy lifting"?

I too live in Ok and have for over 35 years. I respectfully disagree with this. It would take too long to hash it all out and I don't want to clog up this thread with bedlam bullshit. However, I have a friend, he's like a brother to me. OU fan and grad, not some trailer-dwelling bum. He says that same bullshit "I always root for OSU when they're not playing ou". But one time I mentioned that I bought an autographed Josh Fields mini helmet on ebay and his attitude changed quick. "Why would you buy that? He wasn't any good!". I said for OSU football standards, he's pretty good. He got pretty surly and just kept shitting on it. I said you're only mad because he beat ou twice, he acted like I pissed in his face. So no, I don't buy the "OSU-loving sooner fan" horseshit.

Bro, that was our winning % versus just about anyone for the better part of 40 years.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Went grocery shopping with the wife, she had asked me to remind her to get stuff to make pigs in a blanket. As we entered the aisle, I said don't forget to get the croissant stuff. I meant to say "crescent rolls", I'm no foodie snob or a frenchman and don't know why I said croissant but I did. She laughed and said "You mean crescent rolls? LOL". I said well, croissant is french for crescent so it's the same thing. She said "That's not true. Croissants are round."

This is something Mike Gundy always talks about when people bitched about playing on thursday or friday. Getting a primetime game on a day when there's nobody else playing gives the potential to have a lot of people watching. Texas and ou don't need the help but programs like OSU can really use it. I still hate friday games but I don't disagree with his point.

Actors best and worst performance
Clint Eastwood: Best: Outlaw Josey Wales or Unforgiven? Really there's too many to choose from, he's been around so fucking long. Worst: The Bridges of Madison County

No, our problem is sharing a state with what is at worst a top 5 program in the history of the fucking sport.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I just got a new VW GTI a couple of months ago and the cup holder situation is horrible. It has 2 spots but neither is actually round. The front one has a round arm that pops out to surround a drink but it's not at all secure. The rear one is square, which is dumb. Are the German's using square cans or something? Only drinking juice boxes?

I heard that from a coworker and I just don't believe it. Why would the SEC go after OKST now if they didn't want them when ou and Texas left? What's the incentive? DOn't get me wrong, as a fan I hope they get an invite but I'm calling BS.

Max looks like he's still coming down from a three day bender.- Pissing in funny places
Marine Corps boot camp, 70-80 guys and about 8 urinals. Anytime the entire platoon had to go somewhere and we were behind schedule, you would hear the ominous announcement: "Hit the head before we go! Double up and triple up on those pissers!". One minute you're taking a regular ol' piss, the next minute, 2-3 dicks are coming at you from all sides like a horrible gangbang.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Beating Texas in football hasn't been an upset for several years.- Getting old sucks
My dad had the widow maker in 2016. He was at the grocery store but he managed to drive home, get the "cold stuff" put away and then had my nephew take him to the hospital. Why he didn't get an abulance at the store is beyond me. One triple bypass later, he's still hanging around. No clue how he made it. The doc told us at the time that it wasn't looking good. - 2021 UFC/MMA thread
