  1. My wife went to KU so I’m letting her handle it.
  2. I, for one, welcome our new Jayhawks overlords.
  3. It was driving me nuts where else I’d seen this guy… he also played John Quincy Adams in John Adams.
  4. I know. I wasn’t meaning they could get him back from HBO. I’m saying that they should have tried to secure him as Stewart’s successor before he left. That was perfectly clear that summer that he filled in for Stewart. I don’t recall the exact timing from when Oliver left to do his show and Stewart retired, but i don’t recall it being very long. Of course, not knowing what went on behind the scenes they may have tried and he may not have been interested for any number of reasons, from not wanting to follow Stewart on the Daily Show to already talking with HBO about his own show. But yeah agreed that Wyatt Cenac would have been a great choice.
  5. Yes, but they had John Oliver right there. He had filled in as host for that summer when John Stewart was making his movie and the show didn’t miss a beat. I know that he started his HBO show before Stewart retired (or maybe it had been announced?) but Comedy Central should have done whatever they could do to keep him. I get that HBO may very well have out-bid them, and maybe Oliver wanted to do his own thing, but he was the natural successor and would have kept the show great.
  6. Next home game against Texas Tech is also sold out now, but yeah... we definitely need OU to sell out our stadium.
  7. The next great Shaggy/Surly faction war: sunshine pumpers vs. gloom-and-doomers?.... the most destructive faction war since Illiterati vs. Bookfags?
  8. Some of my random favs that haven't been mentioned: Wilco - "Can't Stand It" - Summerteeth Old 97's - "Victoria" - Wreck Your Life Tom Petty - "Wildflowers" - Wildflowers Steely Dan - "Do It Again" - Can't Buy a Thrill Radiohead - "15 Step" - In Rainbows The Beatles - "Taxman" - Revolver Turnpike Troubadours - "The Housefire" - A Long Way from Your Heart Death Cab for Cutie - "The New Year" - Transatlanticism
  9. With all of the talk of Hurricane Ian, I'm constantly wondering if the Hurricane would like to be called "Eeeeeeeeen" ... not "E-an"
  10. You're not the only one, man.... e.g. the joke above about all Netflix programming being about either murder or cake, lol.
  11. I mean, we sold out our game against Arkansas Fucking Pine Bluff about 10 days ago, but ok.
  12. WE MUST WITHDRAW! NO!!! SIR! WE MUST!!! Enterprise is dead in space... she's not going anywhere...
  13. I mean, plenty of people die in Star Wars. Motherfuckers are getting blown away all the time, whether it's Stormtroopers getting mowed down by the dozens, entire planets getting blown up or younglings getting killed (albeit off camera). What Gilroy and his team have done differently is *the reaction* of the characters to killing and dying. Look at the opening scene with Andor in the series when he shoots the security dude in the face... that mirrors his opening sequence in Rogue One. The regret and pain on his face for those killings are palpable... contrast that with the way dudes are typically dispatched in Star Wars... characters rarely bat an eye about just blowing people away left and right. So it's those character *reactions* to the killing that gives the show a different feel to me. I remember at one point in Rogue One, for example, when they are at the battle of Scariff... one of the "regular" Rebel solders gets shot and we see another one shout "No!" and go to check on him in the middle of the battle... I remember that really standing out because I'd never seen something like that in Star Wars before... just a regular character having a real reaction to his buddy getting shot.
  14. Our shields are falling! Raise them! I CAN'T!!!
  15. Yes. Same vibes as the "factory" scene in AOTC with Padme and Anakin, lol.
  16. Yeah they kind of remind me of OSU or Texas Tech in the 2006-08 range. They are good enough offensively to beat most teams but are also bad enough defensively to lose to most teams. Highly entertaining though.
  17. So they would fall when the action started creating dramatic tension.

    Vinyl

    It's out of print so pretty pricy in the secondary market... last I looked they were going for $75-100 for VG/VG+... like $200+ for mint/sealed.

    Vinyl

    Anyone else order the Super Deluxe remaster of Revolver? I have the mono remaster from 2014, but it's my favorite Beatles record so I couldn't resist.

    Nirvana

    Yeah I celebrate both for what they are. Love the power-pop/punk mashup of Nevermind, and also love the noisy garage rock vibe of In Utero. Probably my favorite single Nirvana live performance is when they did "Scentless Apprentice" on "Live and Loud." It used to be on YouTube (I think I linked it earlier in the thread) but it's since been taken down. And lol about Albini and Vig.
  21. I guess they sent out episodes 1-4 for reviews and they pretty much all say the pace really picks up in episodes 3 and 4.
  22. I'm sure you'll get some "Leia in bikini" responses. For my money, nobody in SW has ever been hotter than Carrie Fisher in ESB. She was just so freaking hot and it was before the cocaine started putting extra miles on the treads. We didn't get to see her in anything very revealing in ESB which is too bad because got damn.
  23. On behalf of all OSU alumni and fans, we thank you for your deep concern for our well being based on message board and social media rumors.
  24. It’s just reality, man. There’s a difference between rivalry games that have been tied to conference play and ones that have been played for decades as non-conference games. Did OU and Nebraska continue to play after Nebraska left the Big 12? Did Texas and Texas A&M continue to play after A&M left the Big 12? No they did not. It’s not like Bedlam is the first conference rivalry series to get fucked by all of this Realignment bullshit. Others will continue to get fucked as this shit show continues.
