  1. They haven't had that OU section opposite the tunnel for the last several years. I have no idea how they are making up the difference in the number of tickets given to UT and OU, but the red in the middle of the UT side used to be clearly noticeable but it's not there anymore. As for the fair and Cotton Bowl experience, it's a crowded clusterfuck but if you know what you are doing you can mitigate it to some degree. The heat just makes everything worse. Gate A is an absolute shitshow, but we entered the "line" at 1:30 and got in just before 2, about thirty minutes. It obviously grew in that time so after that it's at least 45 minutes probably and you don't feel like you are moving. Yes they should get rid of the picnic tables blocking everything up but the real constraint is the ticket scanners. Also if more people realized you can enter at any of the stadium gates. I wanted to avoid Gate A, but my buddy just wanted to experience the mass of humanity so we dealt with it. Concession sales in the stadium are shit, I got lucky with a vendor just loading up his cooler and the lined hadn't formed yet. Coupon lines in the far end of the Midway (SE side) are much more manageable than the 75-100 deep lines on the Big Tex side of the fairgrounds. Spend time in the Auto Show and use buildings when you can to navigate around and avoid the most densely crowded areas. Parked for free on the same block I always do, half-mile from the side entrance to fair grounds (near the Midway) no traffic driving in, minimal traffic leaving. 23rd year in a row. Wouldn't miss it.
  2. 45!! Come on, easy to believe she was still in her 30's a few years ago lol.
  3. Blowing this game in 21 and 23 is painful. We haven't won consecutive games against OU since 09. We need to start a damn streak against these fuckers. Don't love being 14 point favorites but as long as we take care of the football I'm totally confident.
  4. Big fan of Joel Klatt, and he is usually hated by aggy for his (true) takes about their program. And I realize the clip below is hypothetical scenarios. But the way he just pencils in Aggy for wins against LSU, at Auburn and at South Carolina, seems a WEE bit optimistic. Auburn and USC are not good teams, but my money is on aggy dropping one of those road games.
  5. Yeah I watched this a while back. Can be a rough watch at times, but really enjoyed it. Extremely gritty and realistic. Strong production value. Farrell is great. Available on the Roku channel (free app), among other places.
  6. This is just one rating system, so take it FWIW, but I like how he does his infographics. https://kfordratings.com/projections
  7. All arky needed was a FG. Idiots
  8. Shouldn’t have scored so fast
  9. Pathetic showing from Mizzou
  10. I can haz a 3rd down stop??
  11. Calm down Joe Tessitore.
  12. Sloppy defending and clearance and it’s 2-0
  13. TCU appears to be absolute dogshit
  14. Baffling is the only word that comes to mind when describing this film. The tone is inconsistent throughout. The visual style is non-compelling at best, and an orgy of CGI at worst. Story wise, there may be a semblance of a message in the end, but I really didn’t feel it cohesively through the film at all. I will say I mostly liked Driver’s performance even if the script he was working with was incomprehensible. Aubrey Plaza felt like she was making fun of herself, so she was enjoyable. Similarly, Shia Lebouf was over the top and consistent enough to sell it. The rest of the performances were laughable. Schwartzman and Hoffman were in this, why??
  15. The GOAT. As both Spielberg and Lucas suggest in the trailer, Williams’ scores clearly leveled up their movies a significant amount. I always love the story, which I’m sure will be mentioned in the doc, where for the final chase and goodbye sequence in ET, Spielberg actually recut the footage to better fit Williams’ music, when normally it’s the other way around. Saw him conduct at the Hollywood Bowl last summer. Noticed a bit of footage from those shows in the trailer.
  16. First place votes last week were 44 for Texas, 13 for UGA, and 5 for tOSU. Bama will jump us IMO. Would bet they end up with around 35-40 first place votes, we get around 15-20, and tOSU keeps a few of their 5.
  17. The call on the field was basically a guess so I’m not that upset/surprised with the reversal. And I wanted the U to lose
  18. I know they keep Bob Cole around to introduce the band at halftime, but I’m also pretty sure it was him doing Bevo’s entrance during pregame, saying “BEVO FOURTEEN!!”. Meanwhile “BEVO XV” is in giant letters on the screen. Smh
  19. Kansas State has collapsed
  20. Was probably the M logo they do with two hands. Had never noticed it as a thing before seeing in on the Jumbotron in Ann Arbor.
