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.

They sold 180,000 tickets for 4 shows, absolutely unbelievable. Stillwater may never recover.
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.

I've been in queue for 43 minutes already. Anyone else queueing?
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.

Rivalry games in October are awful. Just awful.

Is there anything around Stillwater with rooms? I signed up
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.

Al- I quoted you to see what you thought, but also wanted to hear from other B12ers like @'stache and @oSuJeff97
I was looking at the schedule for CFB for the last weekend of the regular season, and the B12 schedule looks like it was put together by someone who has no understanding of which schools have rivalries and history with each other.
Outside of Farmageddon and the Territorial Cup, none of it made sense. Utah at UCF ? TCU at UC ? UH at BYU ? Tech-WVU ? WTF ?
I was expecting to see the Holy War, TCU-Baylor, etc.
Looks like the B12 made a conscious decision to spread the rivalry games out earlier in the season. Are you guys happy with that ?
I realize The Game, USC-ND, UT vs aggy, Iron Bowl, etc are all going to soak up a ton of oxygen that weekend, but for me, there's something special about rivalry weekend. Utah vs UCF or the Holy War on rivalry weekend- seems like an easy choice.
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.

Hotel rooms in Stillwater seem to be hard to come by already, so if you intend to attend I recommend starting to work on finding a nice co-ed to date.
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.

JFC, this shit again? Gundy is right that these get scheduled way in advance. We have Oregon home and away the next two years that was scheduled like a decade ago, then a return trip to Arkansas, then Bama home and home. We also have another Arky home and home scheduled for 2032 and 2033 and Nebraska 2034 and 2035. That's how far out these things are scheduled. I said it a bunch of times, I think Bedlam gets played home and home 2030 and 2031 since we don't have a P4 non-con for those years. OU has an opening in 2031 and has Nebraska in 2030 which they can keep or move (maybe) if needed or find ways to make some changes that far into the future to make it work for both sides. It's also not true that OU said "yeah lets just add it home and home forever going forward." They might imply that but only Gundy will be honest, it doesn't work that way in football. And for the "OSU sucks and nobody cares" crowd, wouldn't it be consistent that they wouldn't want or need to play the game since it's a bigger deal for us than it is for them? (on paper at least, their fans care, and denying that they care is part of the rivalry). We already have a basketball game scheduled for next year at the Paycom Center and I can guarantee you a Bedlam matchup will happen in baseball, either a weekend series or home and home midweek games. We already played them this year in soccer and will probably have a series in softball. The athletic departments still get along just fine.
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.

We have several non-conference series coming up against better teams than OU.

Derp. I typed "giving" but meant "getting."

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.

CUSA may be an overstatement on my part, but any program currently not in the Big 10 or SEC will struggle to maintain relevance on a national scale in the years to come.
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.

Yep. Let's not start sucking Matt Rhule's dick just yet for doing exactly what any decent team should have done. Is Nebraska decent now? Maybe. Maybe even good, but it was Colorado, in Lincoln. Time will tell how good Nebraska really is.
My guess is that in time - like I said about ND after they beat aggy - we'll probably find out that Nebraska isn't very good either.
Look I’m not saying Nebraska is great.
I’m just saying Rhuel has an established track record. He took Temple from 2 wins to double-digit wins in year 3. He took post-Briles Baylor that was in shambles and got them to 11 wins in year 3.
I’m just saying it’s pretty stark juxtaposition when you see how these two teams looked against each other in year 2 of their respective coaching regimes.

Matt Rhule's substance? Oh FFS.
You did this Deion. You made Nebraska and Rhule look good.
TBF, Rhule has shown he's a damn good college football program builder.
His first three years at Temple were 2 wins, 6 wins, 10 wins. His three at Baylor were 1 win, 7 wins, 11 wins.
It looks like he has Nebraska on a similar trajectory.

Arkansas literally fucked themselves on the final drive of regulation. Wasted 20 seconds at least by not downing the ball after some first downs. So braindead.
Yeah and on top of that, they got lucky on that last dumb pass before their FG attempt. Had the guy caught it, time would have expired before they could get the FG team on to the field.
They felt like a team that is wildly talented but somewhat undisciplined and sloppy. I could see them pulling a big upset on someone if they can manage to play 60 minutes of clean football.

The box score for this Okie State/Arkansas game is one of the craziest we’ll see all year. Didn’t get to watch because I was at the game in Ann Arbor so it’s hard to even understand.
Yeah it's crazy.
But really what it came down to was that Arkansas didn't get NEARLY the lead they should have in the first half when they were completely and utterly dominant. The way that first half went, the score should have been something like 28-0 or 35-0, but it was just 21-7 because of the pick six and OSU started to kind of stabilize things toward the end of the second quarter.
So Arkansas' huge disparity in total yardage was really all just the first half, where they out-gained us 342 to 93. And to show you just how bad it was, 55 of OSU's 93 yards came on the opening drive of the game. So after the opening drive basically we did nothing on offense for the entire first half as Arkansas marched up and down the field. And yet they were only up 21-7 because of the pick six.
The second half was more how I thought the full game might actually go. OSU actually out-gained Arkansas in the second half, 292 to 277 and outscored them 24-10. (prior to OT)
And, of course, the 3 turnovers helped, although Bowman did also throw one INT so we were +2 on turnovers.

It definitely doesn't. What it takes is competent coaching.
2022 TXST: 104 rush yards per game, 3.3 yards per attempt, 4 wins
2023 TXST: 187 rush yards per game, 4.6 yards per attempt, 8 wins2023 OL were all transfers playing in their 1st year for TXST, and 4 of them came from FCS. 1st guy off the bench was a 4th year guy who had never started (not sure he'd even ever played on the OL - special teams only) and ended up starting 7 games due to an injury.
Sure coaching helps.
And there are always outlier examples. Just from years and years of watching CFB, unless you are a blue blood that can pull 5-star guys every year, the most common way to have a good OL is multi-year development and continuity.

Who could have expected that having a competent offensive line required multi-year development and continuity instead of getting a bunch of guys from the portal and starting from scratch every year except literally everyone?

That was the most Gundyist of Gundy wins ever.
Play like ass for a half and look like you have no chance, but then somehow, someway figure out how to pull the game out of the fire.
Just another one to add to his ridiculous record in one-possession games, and take yet another few years off the shelf-life of my liver.

Pretty interesting that both Arkansas and SDSU both opened as 9-point dogs. I think the SDSU ended up getting pushed to like 10.5. Will be interesting to see where the money goes on this game.
I personally would take Arkansas and the points. This game feels like a classic one-possession Gundy game.

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.
