  1. JFC. Are you even reading my posts? We are replacing OU with Alabama, Arkansas, Oregon, etc. But yeah keep bringing up Missouri State.
  2. I didn't say we were playing "name brands" every year. I'm just saying we have been playing P5 schools regularly, so it's a bit disingenuous to say we've only played "Tulsa and directional schools." Anyway, the more relevant data points for the discussion at hand (scheduling OU in non-conference) are our future opponents - which I listed above and you didn't comment on. Should we put ourselves through playing Alabama and Oklahoma in the same year in non-conference? OU and Oregon? OU and Arkansas? Because that would be pretty fucking stupid.
  3. Yeah forgot to mention that. No nudity and they don't even really show them making out or whatever, but it's the most overt "implied sex" on screen ever in Star Wars.... other than Padme getting knocked up I guess, lol.
  4. I can't speak to Rings of Power, but it's not so much the "darkness" that may not work for kids so much as the tone/pacing. Its tone and pace (so far) is very deliberate. There are lots of conversations, discussions with subtext and not so much explosive action. Think the middle third of Empire Strikes Back. There is *much* more "action" in Rogue One than there is in Andor (so far). When there is action/violence it's pretty violent (for Star Wars... it's not like there's blood/dismemberments/etc.) and then the characters' reactions to the violence is more "real" vs. just mowing down Stormtroopers and moving on.
  5. This. That was some whiney hindsight shit from him. Reid was a decent college QB, but Zac Robinson was just plain better. End of story. Robinson set school records at QB, spent 3 years on NFL rosters and is the QB coach/passing game coordinator for the Rams now. Gundy 100% made the right call benching Reid for Robinson.
  6. Their young....enter through the ear.... and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex....
  7. Yeah holy shit so good. 100% Star Wars for adults. Slow, deliberate pacing and very dense storytelling. Fucking love it. The "corporate" security guys was a cool new angle. Love the young obsessed captain guy... he gave some some Edmund Exley vibes, lol.
  8. I'm not sure whose schedule you were looking at over "the past decade or so" but it wasn't ours. We've played many more teams than "Tulsa and directional schools." Going back to 2009, we've played the following P5 teams in non-conference: Oregon State Pitt (2x) Florida State Mississippi State Arizona (2x) Washington State (2x) Georgia We've also played a home-and-home with Boise State, which I don't see a lot of P5 teams lining up to do. Are those all of the greatest teams in the world? No, but it's hardly "a bunch of directional schools and Tulsa"... we've generally had one P5 (or a pseudo P5 like Boise) on the schedule every year for the past decade or so. Over the next decade-plus, we finish our home-and-home with Arizona State next year and then have home-and-home series already set up with Arkansas (2x), Oregon, Alabama, Colorado and Nebraska. (Yes the latter two suck now but they may have their shit together when we finally play them). Why should we punish ourselves by putting another really good P5 school like OU on the schedule in any of those years, essentially giving ourselves an 11-game conference schedule? That would just be fucking stupid, even in the expanded playoff era.
  9. So true. All of this chatter in the past day is because of a headline that said, "OU, OSU ADs say Bedlam is over" (or whatever it was)... then you read the article and they are both like, "yeah it will be logistically difficult for a while..."... which we already knew, given existing schedules and the fact that we aren't even 100% certain when OU will join the SEC. The fuck?
  10. Help me out with this. How, exactly, is OSU "being a little bitch" about it? Here is Chad Weiberg's quote on it: ā€œItā€™s very difficult to predict the future of college athletics right now,ā€ Weiberg said. ā€œWould we have interest? Yes, when the logistics work out, but that appears to be well into the future. How is this any different than OU/Nebraska finally playing again a decade after Nebraska left the league? It's a completely realistic position, given how P5 non-conference scheduling works. We currently have home-and-home series scheduled with other P5 schools through 2037. As for Gundy, yeah he was a little peeved yesterday, but you have to understand that the Oklahoma media has literally been asking him about this off-and-on for a year now. I'm sick and fucking tired of talking about it so I can only imagine how sick he is of talking about it.
  11. Blinkin Riley can gargle my fucking balls. And OU leaving the Big 12 DID kill the Bedlam series, just like Nebraska leaving the Big 12 killed the OU/Nebraska series. Those mouth breathing fucks were beating that drum two seconds after the Nebraska announcement was made... but they are just innocent babes in the woods who have nothing to do with the Bedlam series ending now. Seriously... they can all fuck right off. Except you, @ChiTownDoc. You're my boy.
  12. This headline/story has OUsux twitter all riled up today, but I'm not sure exactly what new information is here. Everyone has known for a while that it would be logistically difficult to play Bedlam football any time soon because of realignment and the fact that both schools already have at least one P5 opponent scheduled though 2037 with the exception of 2031. This is a fact that both ADs just confirmed: ā€œItā€™s very difficult to predict the future of college athletics right now,ā€ Weiberg said. ā€œWould we have interest? Yes, when the logistics work out, but that appears to be well into the future. Castiglione said at some point the Sooners and Cowboys may play ā€œdown the road,ā€ but he isnā€™t optimistic about the near future once OU leaves for the SEC in 2025. Somehow these two quotes translate into "ZOMG Bedlam football is done forever!!!" Neither closed the door forever on Bedlam football, just acknowledged what has been known for a while... so...what's the story exactly???
  13. Haha I hope so, too. One of my buddies is getting married that day.
  14. Iā€™m not sure about our defense yet. It has potential because the DL is deep and talented, but the back end is VERY green and will be susceptible to big busts. How that unit develops through the year will be the key to our overall success.
  15. Itā€™s not ā€œpatently nonsenseā€ if youā€™re basing the rankings on what teams have accomplished on the field to this point vs. ā€œpotential.ā€ ISU and KU (x2) have better wins than any of the contenders at this point.
  16. Yeah looks pretty good to me. Happy for KU. Theyā€™ve been fun to watch. Based on what Iā€™ve seen so far: Way better than expected: KU Worse than expected: WVU, KSU The rest I donā€™t have a good bead on yet. Iā€™ve seen some good and bad from all of the main contenders. I could easily see OU, OSU, Texas or Baylor winning the league.
  17. This. I never get the "celebration police" who think they need to tell college kids how to celebrate a win. Who gives a flying fuck what the point spread was? That doesn't matter in the heat of the moment. If it's a super competitive back-and-forth game that you win on an inexplicable series of plays then go nuts and rush that fucking field, kids.
  18. [Checks notes] Yes that is much better than having losing seasons 7 out of 8 years.
  19. How dare you, sir. Pappy O'Daniel was a mass communicatin' man of the people.
  20. Honestly, 'ol Butterteeth would do well at Corn. I mean, he wouldn't be winning any national titles; but I bet he'd have them winning 9/10 games again within a few years.
  21. I saw a guy in the Frankfort airport with OU gear on several years ago. Fucking guys.
  22. Yeah I remember that Pelini was a known asshole, but there have been LOTS of successful coaches who are/were known assholes. Most of them don't get fired until they stop winning. Pelini was still winning at Corn, but they thought he wasn't winning enough and could easily replace 9/10 wins per year. Whoops.
  23. The biggest head-scratcher here, and the one that plays directly into my earlier comment, is Bo Pelini. Here were Nebraska's records under Pelini: 9-4 10-4 10-4 9-4 10-4 9-4 9-3 The guy averaged 9.4 wins/season. But that wasn't good enough for some reason? So basically you are saying the FLOOR for wins/season is 10.. which is something that is realistic at about 3-4 schools, and Nebraska certainly wasn't/isn't one of them (as of 2014). Yes I get that the dude was rough around the edges, personality wise, but he won games at a high rate at Nebraska, and he did it well after the Osborne transition. Since they fired him, they have had 1 *winning season* in 7 full seasons... most likely to become 1 in 8 after this year.
