i am now a man. 💪🏻

Can’t play a sport without stretching for longer than the actual time playing the sport. 
 

but damn. I’m 40. Sounds weird to say 
 

 

you're not a man until we see your epic press conference rant

Arkansas literally fucked themselves on the final drive of regulation. Wasted 20 seconds at least by not downing the ball after some first downs. So braindead.

Gundy certainly is good at winning close games -- hawgs on the other hand are often an inept team.

We have several non-conference series coming up against better teams than OU.

Several? Unless I'm missing something, you have four total non-conference games that would fit that narrative: home and homes against Oregon and Bama. Not 4 series, 4 total games. I'm sure those matchups will mean just as much as playing your in state rival. But Tulsa is on the schedule going forward. I guess that makes up for it?

Why should they play OU? “Choices have consequences” works both ways. 

Because nobody nationally is going to give a rat's ass about 95% of the games Oklahoma State plays. That's one that people will tune in for. It's not hurting OU's profile to miss out on Bedlam. Gundy is 3-15 against them. He's just being a pussy.

They just need to win their conference. If they do, they’re in the playoffs. If they don’t, playing OU probably isn’t going to help them.

JFC, this shit again? Gundy is right that these get scheduled way in advance. We have Oregon home and away the next two years that was scheduled like a decade ago, then a return trip to Arkansas, then Bama home and home. We also have another Arky home and home scheduled for 2032 and 2033 and Nebraska 2034 and 2035. That's how far out these things are scheduled. I said it a bunch of times, I think Bedlam gets played home and home 2030 and 2031 since we don't have a P4 non-con for those years. OU has an opening in 2031 and has Nebraska in 2030 which they can keep or move (maybe) if needed or find ways to make some changes that far into the future to make it work for both sides. It's also not true that OU said "yeah lets just add it home and home forever going forward." They might imply that but only Gundy will be honest, it doesn't work that way in football. And for the "OSU sucks and nobody cares" crowd, wouldn't it be consistent that they wouldn't want or need to play the game since it's a bigger deal for us than it is for them? (on paper at least, their fans care, and denying that they care is part of the rivalry). We already have a basketball game scheduled for next year at the Paycom Center and I can guarantee you a Bedlam matchup will happen in baseball, either a weekend series or home and home midweek games. We already played them this year in soccer and will probably have a series in softball. The athletic departments still get along just fine.

So much this.

But the same three people that bring this stupid bullshit up over and over again won't acknowledge this next 20 times it comes up either. 

Bedlam football will absolutely happen again but it won't be until the mid-2030s, NO DIFFERENT than any other new P4 team we chose to schedule for non-conference.

Like if we wanted to start new series with Ole Miss or Ohio State or Tennessee or whoever, it wouldn't happen until the mid 2030s at the earliest either. I'm not sure what's so fucking difficult to understand about that, given that it's been the norm in P4 non-conference scheduling for... let's see... the last several fucking decades.

Yeah, well, that ain’t happening

And fuck all you OK St dipshits for making me even think about sympathizing with OU for having to tolerate Aggy level delusions of self importance….

Interesting game Saturday @ baylor -- surprised that both Aranda and Gundy have 3-4 records...

Gundy will get another year but I am thinking aranda may not unless his contract is lengthy. Aranda would have numerous offers as a DC or at the minimum an analyst, he is too cerebral not to.

OSU, B12 CG loser last year, is playing Baylor (rival?) and the game is on streaming. I really see this as more of a Baylor problem (they have a ton of games on streaming) than a B12 problem.

We’re playing like dog shit and now are riddled with injuries. Streaming will be the norm because we’re not relevant to the standings this year. I just hate that our 18 year bowl streak is likely over. We really needed to close out BYU. FML.

OU and OSU both miss bowls they should schedule a Bedlam game Tulsa's stadium. The Golden Hurricane won't be using it to prepare for any bowl.

Hang in there... at least y'all have a new basketball coach that should turn program around --  Lutz 😎

I like the hire but it ain’t gonna be this year. I think we’re rightly predicted as like 14th. I’m ready for baseball and softball season. Apparently wrestling might start dominating again soon, I just can’t get into it for some reason.

The Toilet Bowl. TU can sit in the corner and watch. Then everyone cries afterward.

What's the thoughts from okie lite fans on what needs to happen for team to be successful in 2025?

New DC for sure, Nard dog is in over his head. I’d be good moving on from Dunn as OC but he’s been there forever. QB is obviously the big question mark for next year. No idea what the roster will look like otherwise. OL is seasoned and should have been way better, hope we have some young guys ready to step in next year.
