  1. Pretty insane set list last night. The band was super tight and sounded great. Was not disappointed by the assortment of deep cuts: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/wilco/2024/cains-ballroom-tulsa-ok-b53b932.html Pretty sure that was the first time I've heard "If I Ever Was a Child" live. It was so good. They were playing freaking DEEP cuts from the Mermaid Ave. albums... we got 2 deep cuts from Mermaid Ave. Vol 2, lol. But the highlight for me was "Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull." I hadn't much got into the "Cruel Country" songs but holy hell. That's has to become a new Wilco concert staple. The played it to close the first set and it was just incredible. They extended the jam in the middle of the song to maybe 5-7 minutes and man... it was so great. It's instantly a top 5-10 Wilco song to see live.... up there with like Via Chicago, Shot in the Arm, Spiders (Kidsmoke), etc. It'll be interesting to see what we get tonight. They didn't play anything off Summerteeth last night so I'm assuming we'll get a good dose of that... also probably a bit more from The Whole Love I imagine... hopefully Art of Almost will be in there.
  2. Any of you guys hit the Wilco Winterlude shows at Moody over the weekend? I'm going to both nights at Cain's this week. 60+ songs over two nights and no repeats... Super pumped for some DEEEEP cuts.
  3. Yeah it's freaking crazy man. I used to literally see all of these bands in dive bars and now they are selling 180,000 tickets for four straight stadium shows. I can't even wrap my mind around that.
  4. I had like 4 different groups of friends, maybe 20 people in total, all trying to get tickets this morning. I'd say the success rate was maybe 10-20%. Both shows were announced as sold out a few hours ago. OSU Athletics also announced they are adding two more shows - Thursday and Sunday - and there would be details soon on when those would go on sale.
  5. LOL you know what I mean. But good point given what week it is... 😆
  6. Yeah it's kind of rough. You can check Cushing and Yale... maybe Ponca City although it's a bit further. You might have to end up staying in Tulsa or OKC. Maybe rent a car service if you don't want to mess with driving. It can get a little pricey but if you have group of people it isn't too bad. Also - talked to one of my buddies who works at OSU. They had 140,000+ ticket early ticket requests after the first show was announced, which is why they added the second.
  7. Yeah I hadn't paid that much attention to it since we basically don't have a rivalry game any more. But I think there is a method to the madness and you hit the nail on the head at the end. If we know anything about Yormark it's that he's always working to get every revenue edge that he possibly can. And if that's putting rivalry games on "normal" regular season weeks where they may grab more viewers than they would on the main "rivalry" weekends when they are competing for eyeballs with the SEC and B1G rivalries. I might be upset about it if we still had a rivalry game and it was being played in early October or something but, again, since I don't any more it's not really a big deal to me.
  8. Yeah they've added some over the years but it's still pretty rough trying to get a room on most game days. This thing is gonna be insane.
  9. So much this. But the same three people that bring this stupid bullshit up over and over again won't acknowledge this next 20 times it comes up either. Bedlam football will absolutely happen again but it won't be until the mid-2030s, NO DIFFERENT than any other new P4 team we chose to schedule for non-conference. Like if we wanted to start new series with Ole Miss or Ohio State or Tennessee or whoever, it wouldn't happen until the mid 2030s at the earliest either. I'm not sure what's so fucking difficult to understand about that, given that it's been the norm in P4 non-conference scheduling for... let's see... the last several fucking decades.
  10. We have several non-conference series coming up against better teams than OU.
  11. Saw Colorado is getting 1.5 points against Baylor on Saturday. I have a feeling the Baylor defense might cause some problems for them. If Baylor can muster any offense, I think they'll win.
  12. Like I said earlier - that was the most Gundiest win of all the Gundy wins.
  13. LOL Gundy was cooking at that press conference.
  14. I mean... we'll see. It also depends what you mean by "relevance on a national scale." The Big 12 currently has 5 teams ranked in the top 25, one fewer than the B1G and one more than the ACC. And it's not like the top Big 12 programs have relied on recruiting at an elite level - these are programs that win by savvy recruiting/portal management, coaching and development. There is still a place for that in the post-NIL/transfer portal world. Yes, the Blue Bloods of the B1G/SEC will always have the greatest advantage, but that's nothing new.
