Go Pokes

Omg! We’re actually pulling him! I mean, the next dude will give up at least 3 runs, but at least we’re trying to do something.

They should never have put this freshman pitcher in. Not ready for prime time.

Bases loaded and no outs and I’m ecstatic that we were able to scratch out one run. That’s this team in a nutshell.

And I'm usually more optimistic about OSU baseball, but something about this team just makes me hate following them, much less watching them. I just want one more shot at OU. In a season like this, beating OU can be the one saving grace. Though I imagine we're already about out of pitching. We have so little to start with, how can we not be?

Nice. 95/101

I'm so fucking tired of this team. I've made about 100 predictions about them over this season and I think I've been right 95 times. About to go 96/101. After we blow this, only two more games and we can put this season behind us.

I stand corrected. We did the bare minimum. So now we give up two runs in the T9 and them go down meekly in the B9.

Lead off guy on! Time to do absolutely fucking nothing!

Ok Derka. I was just trying to politely point out that not all of us stay up to 3 in the morning to watch this. I should’ve known better.

I kind of forgot today was the today and I haven't quite got accustomed to it dropping at 2:00 AM instead of being aired at 8 PM. I'm old and my brain may never 100% adjust to streaming. So I clicked on the thread to see if anyone was talking about the show and I saw your post. Then I posted what I thought was a very civil and polite reminder to you to be careful about spoilers and apparently you're really offended by that. I know there are two Shadow Ops here and I was thinking you were the one that wasn't Derka and would be able to accept this suggestion like an adult. I'm starting to think I'm wrong on that. Had I known you were Derka, I wouldn't have said anything since I know you are above reproach and are never in the wrong, no matter how minor the situation is. You might as well post the winner for everybody since you've already eliminated two teams from contention now.

Yes it does, but most of us don't watch it until the next evening, if not later.

Careful there. That's a little spoilery. Fortunately, I didn't know who your least-disliked team was, but I was able to eliminate one team from consideration.

We are NEVER on the right side of one of these screw jobs. Gotta admit, it feels pretty good.

It's possible I'm a bit biased. But seriously, watching her on Challenge Australia and now this season, I don't think she'll get better. She dislikes just about everybody and everybody dislikes her. She takes zero accountability for all of these conflicts she has. She just blames it on the other person and either forgets the shit she has said or done or she's just a liar. I don't think she is capable of getting perspective and she isn't good enough at anything outside the water to be able to survive everybody targeting her. I hope we never see her again and we'll just never know who is correct here. I wish it would have been Kiki that took her out, but Troy doing it is a nice consolation prize. She hates those two for literally no reason other than they are both better than her in everything that doesn't involve swimming. The fact that the only two people who like her are Grant and Sarah says a lot about her as well.

With all due respect, and not a trace of Derkaism, I actually disagree with every single word you posted. I don't think Kaycee is a scumbag bro at all. She won BB on her likability. Not all BB players are unlikable, but they sure seem to pick the ones that are. Emily isn't annoying. She's fucking awful. I don't find her to be an interesting add at all and pray she is never invited back. She sucks at the game and will never not suck at the game because she is incapable of making friends with anyone unless they are also an awful person like Grant or Sarah. People rightfully hate her. Nearly got her ass sent home. Other than that, you and I are on the same page.

I'm enjoying Kaycee more this time. She's actually showing a little personality. It probably helps that I love her partner and she isn't spending all her time canoodling with Nany somewhere off camera. And it really helps that she eliminated the worst person they've cast on this show in years. Fuck her. I was laughing and cheering when she was laying on the ground wailing.

Damn you're right. I just watched the very end and the votes were Danny with 3 and Carson and Heidi with 2 each. It seems like nobody really knew what was going on in that TC.

I looked it up and he won the first 4 he competed in. They were teams of 9, 8, 4, and pairs. It gets even less impressive when you dig into each W.

From her post eviction interviews, that’s exactly what happened. Also, she convinced herself Matt had better relationships than Yam Yam so she thought he would be safe. The 2nd time I’d guess the lure of [emoji895] and margaritas was too strong to resist.

Might be an unpopular opinion but Darrell is the most overrated Challenger in history. I can't even think of a close 2nd. They talk him up like he's some kind of beast but he won 4 team Challenges in a row back in the day when a hard challenge was playing Twister or some lame shit. And the prize money was $25 and a free year of BK.

Is Emily one of the most unlikeable people they've had on this show in a long time? She was just as awful on Challenge Australia.

I think my problem is I drank the Kool-Aid and thought we actually had a team that could compete for Omaha. We were a preseason top 8 team favored to win the Big XII. Being in the thick of the conference race most years is pretty damn good and should give a fan hope for a post season run. The Big XII is as bad as I can remember it being and we have very little chance of winning the conference. 6 of our 11 wins are vs BU and KU. If we sweep KSU and OU, we can probably work our way up to hosting a regional, but that seems almost impossible for this team. 3-3 would be an accomplishment since it would mean we actually would win a series against a team not at the bottom of the standings. So "not struggling any more than other conference teams" isn't really something any of us should be fired up about. Other than WVU, it just means we are all a bunch of slightly above average 2 seeds whose ceiling is probably losing in a regional final. A miracle hot run of great pitching at the right time could change that for someone, but I don't see any way that team is going to be us. So the lesson is...don't drink the fucking Kool-Aid.

Winning a series against a good team in the conference would be my thoughts. We’re probably a Q1 team and everybody with a pulse beats us, so I’m not sure how relevant Q1s are.

To be fair, the only opponent with a pulse we have beaten is UT and they gave that one to us.

Yes, that’s exactly what I think. At least in regards to you. You shit on too many threads and it feels like a sad cry for attention or like you’re trying to show off how smart you are and how dumb anyone who doesn’t agree with you is. That’s just my opinion though so no need for a 500 word dissertation on it. You asked, I answered.
