Man it’s dusty in here. Keep working, young man. The pills every day at a young age will be hard to deal with at first, but he’ll get used to them. They’ll probably make him feel decades older than he is. So happy to see him up and moving around. Hook ‘em and keep giving it hell, Derrian!

I’m in software development. This all sounds like greenfielding new projects vs adding to bloated legacy systems to me. Greenfielding provides an opportunity to use the latest and greatest, often more cheaply and efficiently than adding the same functionality to a legacy system. As features are added to a system, not taking proper care to maintain the existing system and keep it extensible slows feature development when compared to providing the same functionality in a brand new environment. The infrastructure of the US has been built up over a long period of time with fluctuations in the desire and ability to maintain it and keep it extensible. Building in areas with little or no existing infrastructure provides an opportunity to deliver solutions more cheaply and efficiently. It’s why a lot of the world has faster internet, or better cell service, or both; they’re using the best of what the world has to offer without the burden of building within a system that is difficult to change due to its complexity.

Sorry, yankee wife (no pics you degenerates) introduced me to the Taylor ham, egg and cheese several years ago and they’re phenomenal on a real bagel (no Einstein Bros fake ass shit).

Every time I read this dude’s name, it makes me want a bagel sandwich with Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. That is all, carry on.

Hood-rat era? Ghetto-ass gang signs? Take a lap, old man.

Case with the golden hat on is pure visual poetry.

Yep, did well in October with the start of game mindset. Need that on Saturday and need to close stronger. No taking our foot off their throat. I want more Kyler Murray, grown man, crying on TV. Grown man tears are sweeter than the crying sooner kids who have been indoctrinated and don’t know any better.

Punch OU in the mouth to start the game and they’ll fold like a lawn chair. They’re front running, girlfriend beating, anal fisting, meth using, cousin fucking, getting tackled by a fat cop, land stealing pussies who deserve to lose every game they play. And lose this one they will. OU sucks.

Meh, aggy and LSU game was hilarious. Some nerds should be developing refereeing by AI/IoT. It would break the game with the holding calls that are currently missed, though. Fun problem to think about. Training the network for new rules would be interesting, and would still leave room for human error. And what happens if the network is unreliable during a game? Back to human refs? /geekramble

The kids each represent one of the five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Steve, Shirley, Theo, Luke, and Nell, respectively. I think the ghosts were just a device to express some of this theme.

Shipley? In 05? Wasn’t he hurt? The others were definitely legit, but RT was very well known as one of the fastest guys on the team who could house it from anywhere. Hell the stats above show he scored on more than 10% of his runs. Maybe I remember so well because I was in school at the time, but it’s hard to imagine forgetting RT. He did get kicked off the team and out of school for having a bunch of weed in a backpack, which cut his career short and reduced his stats. CSB: I was at that 04 OSU game, Ced and RT went off, and I didn’t hear the stadium that loud again until the Mizzou ‘08 game. Epic comeback.

I thought having two icons of Japanese culture, Goku and a Nintendo 64, in a clearly nationalistic graphic was ironically funny. Not sure that was the intent, however.

Nice, I was getting texts from the Beto campaign yesterday and was feeling pretty salty. One asked if I’d post my support on Facebook for my friends and family to see and I told her no, because Facebook is owned by greedy robots who exploit their users for ad revenue no matter the human cost, but I’ll tell them myself. She sent a few goofy emojis back and said “that works”. Told another one that I don’t vote for Canadian serial killers or people concerned with who’s using what bathroom. Her response: “you rock!!!”.

I haven’t watched any Tech this year outside of about 5 minutes of the OSU game, I was speaking in general, historical terms. They have managed their QB room fairly well over the years.

Yep, second half of the season will be very interesting to watch. Can't wait to see how we do. This season has given us a good data point in proving that Herman can improve the team year-over-year, and I kinda feel like we're playing with house money at this point. I had us winning 9 at the beginning of the season, to be 2/3 of the way there with half the season left is encouraging. If we close how we started (save MD, of course), the improvement in the W/L column will only serve to inflate the expectations within the team of what they can accomplish next season, as will the close wins that would have been losses just last year. Confidence for this team is a good thing.

Well stated and is part of my point on the Tech thing. They know what they're looking for in a QB and stick to it, plus they have them comfortable in their system in case one goes down. Texas has a backup QB in Shane that Herman didn't recruit and doesn't fit the system, plus he hasn't had an opportunity to play due to close games. That coupled with running Sam so much puts you in a Mack Brown 2009 MNC situation, where you have no offense designed for the backup and he hasn't gotten enough reps. I'm ok with running the QB and Herman's base scheme, we just need to improve our QB preparedness in the case of injury. It's certainly a hard problem at a transition point for a program, trying to balance redshirts and future development with production today. Hopefully with our QB recruiting going the way it is, this won't be such a problem in the future.

Yesss, crazy game. Dropping after beating a highly ranked rival at a neutral site, no matter the performance is pretty dumb. I don't think we're 2001 or 2002 tOSU by any means, but dropping after beating OU in Dallas shows this ranking is devoid of any real-world intangibles, imo.

Knock on some wood, we were hearing that all week about Baylor but we didn't really take advantage of it. Keontay got his 100 yards, but we never just took over the game on the ground.

Haha, nice. Beat me to it.

Wasn't there a tOSU team back in the early 00s that barely won a bunch of games but then made the NC game? Was that the year Miami beat them? I wonder what their S&P+ looked like throughout that year.

We also lost the motion-to-empty set of plays that we had been going to all year in big situations when Sam went down yesterday. I don't remember seeing it during the game, and that set is pretty obvious. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just win, baby.

Yeah, to get us out of the backup QB weeds, I think winning that game yesterday was huge for this team going forward. In years past, we would have turtled and lost by two TDs after Sam went down. This is one of those games the coaches can go back to and say "this is why we need to continue to work hard and be ready for anything". Keeping 18-22 year old men focused on the goals and not the recent accomplishments is one of the differences between perennial powerhouses and flashes in the pan.
