  1. QB controversy !?!
  2. This was my perspective until Tennessee. His decision-making is compounding the other problems the offense has. I'm not a body-language / vibes guy, but the negativity he was displaying after mistakes during the bowl game and so far this year are shocking. If I can see it on TV, OU should've. If they didn't have him working with a psychologist over the summer, they set him and the program back. He's talented. Wherever he goes next, I hope he figures out how to learn from mistakes and ignore the haters.
  3. The negativity Arnold inflicts upon himself after bad plays was evident in the AZ game from last year also. But, despite two awful turnovers early, he came back to have a pretty good game before some bad luck at the end (tipped ball pick six). The other negative vibes thing about him is that his teammates don't rally around him after a bad play. No one gets near him if something goes wrong. Weird.
  4. No thanks
  5. You're right about the cumulative toll of the number of plays for OU's defense wearing them down as the season progresses. Hawkins has to be the QB moving forward. If he plays like he did in the 4th quarter (and survives--took 2 huge hits last night), OU has a shot vs Auburn, SCar, LSU to get to 7 wins.
  6. answered above
  7. OU had 4 sacks with 2 Nico fumbles on 24 Tennessee dropbacks. Nico hit a Sooner DB in the hands and had at least 3-4 other off target throws. The only way OU would've won is if the Sooner D scored or gave the Sooner offense very short fields. Heuple was smart to kill clock and let their Vols defensive line destroy the OU offense.
  8. Yeah...lets make it super easy for them to get guns.
  9. Was this on the North Loop?
  10. Does anyone know what this is about? Is this just typical GOP behavior or is there an election in Oklahoma that the GOP is worried about?
  11. @immamac FUFO tag is SO USEFUL this week. Thanks!
  12. Worse efficiency is a feature not a bug. A central goal of autocrats is to weaken trust in systems.
  13. Russia has to assume all American congressmen are marks for honeypot operations. If it weren't so important, it would be comedy.
  14. The Trump Plaza demolition needs to be part of an ad dramatizing how fallible he is.
  15. Supreme Court won't fix obvious racial gerrymandering in this spring in the South, but Nebraska changes the rules 6 weeks before election. "Conservatives"
  16. Need to wait this out because, as we know, Walker contains multitudes.
  17. I was thinking that maybe this could dent his re-election prospects. But wait! Look at who the Dems are running against him, Megan Barry, disgraced former mayor of Nashville. From Wiki: On January 31, 2018, Barry admitted that she had conducted a two-year long extramarital affair with Nashville Police Sergeant Robert Forrest Jr., the married officer in charge of her security detail, which included extended business trips with just the two of them.[38] Additionally, Barry was the first mayor of Metro Nashville’s government to have created and used a security detail. Forrest and Barry attended various events and activities which included late-night concerts and yoga classes, during which Forrest accrued hundreds of overtime hours.[39] Barry maintained that Forrest was not her direct subordinate,[40] and said that she did not want to "muddy the #metoo movement."[41] Forrest, two weeks prior to Barry's announcement, filed for retirement from his post as supervisor of mayoral security effective on January 31, the same day Barry admitted to the affair, thus ending his 31-year career with the Nashville Police Department.[42][43] In March 2018, Barry entered into a plea agreement that required her resignation.[33] On February 23, 2018, Forrest's wife of nearly 30 years, Penny, filed for divorce on grounds of "inappropriate marital conduct" soon after the extramarital affair came to light.[44] Forrest and Barry, both of whom had no criminal record prior to the affair, pleaded guilty to felony theft.[45][46] As part of the plea deal, they were ordered to pay restitution ($11,000 for Barry and $45,000 for Forrest) to the city and complete three years of probation. Both Forrest and Barry can petition to have their convictions wiped off their record if they successfully complete their probation.[43] As of August 2018, Barry and her husband remain married and have continued to attend events together
  18. I don't even know who Ms. Street is. /s They certainly haven't been perfect, and he has significant anxiety now. I'll ask him what they're doing and report back.
  19. I'm not sure about this. This guy's smart, and in his day job, he works with smart people. It's hard for me to believe that he dump money into a project that he doesn't have data to support. His group favored Biden from very early on in the 2020 process and maintained their support of Biden even when he was faltering early that year. Also correctly, this winter, he was worried about Biden and pushing Kamala. But you and others bring up a good point. Next time I see him, I'll ask how public/private polling differs and what other types of data he and his PAC collect. I probably won't see him again until after the election, but I don't think he'd mind sharing broad strokes about their techniques.
  20. Good call. She could really disarm Rogan.
  21. That's my dream too. But this guy was very dismissive of it. He says that neither Harris nor Walz will do any significant campaigning there, and he doesn't know if would benefit them or DMP if they did. We have to hope that having abortion on the ticket is enough to prove him wrong.
  22. If GA and NC come through, PA can take its sweet time.
  23. Based on what this guy's saying, a 2008-type win is very unlikely. The goal is a really close win for Harris, eek out a majority in the House, and prayer for the Senate. This same guy was nervously optimistic about Clinton in 2016 and confident in a Biden win in 2020.
  24. If this was specifically to me, I don't know. I'm not in politics. I know this person socially and know that he's quite well connected.
  25. Apparently, internal data isn't that rosy. I spoke with someone today who is a donor to big Democratic PACs. PA, especially White men, aren't voting for Harris. Biggest advantage in PA is the lack of ground game by Trump. The donor's surprised how well Harris is doing in GA and NC. He thinks GA will go to Harris. Terrible GOP governor candidate may be enough of a drag on Trump to allow Harris to pull ahead. For the Senate, he says MT is lost, and FL and TX are pipe dreams. He's Allred's friend. The donor's quite progressive and frustrated at the tenor of Allred's stealth campaign. But, because of Allred's background, he thinks Colin's plan is logical. He, himself, has donated a bunch to all the competitive Senate races, but is pessimistic.
