  1. Past hour
  2. Sooners Illustrated preview on Safeties spoilered below. Highlights: -In typical OU honking fashion, they lost an All Conference player to the middle rounds of the NFL, but they're now going to be better with that position group. -Peyton Bowen, pulling what I am now going to start calling the Venables Maneuver, is actively busting as a former 5 star on their roster. He had turf toe last year, put up middling numbers as a backup, had surgery in the offseason and skipped spring camp. Accordingly, he's about to have a better season than Billy Bowman. -They're really high on Robert Spears-Jennings, but I viewed the guy as basically league replacement last season. He gets a lot of hype for the PFF grade, but watch the games and tell me how great he is, especially in pass coverage. -The rest of their safety board they hype as depth, but it's ultra jaggy and most of these guys wouldn't make the current Texas roster. -RSJ with another masterful quote from Media Days that leads me to believe he showed up high as a fucking kite and just started rattling off whatever inane thoughts appeared in his peabrain for the audience to witness.
  3. I didn't need another reason to never go to Walmart, but I'll go ahead and add this to the list.
  4. Moore is also a good blocker and besides being a little faster is a little quicker and has better acceleration. Still, I see round 4 for him.
  5. I %100 know what you're talking about.
  6. Of course he did.
  7. Sigh. People take this stuff too seriously. I like Shane Gillis but the idea that it’s not ok to think he sucks is asinine. He is about the most acquired taste I can think of for a comedian that isn’t Kaufman or Fielder because his delivery is completely unlike any comedian I’ve ever seen. There is an amateur hour, uncertain nature about it. I see how it turns people off. I’m down with it because I just find it disarming. But I understand how others find it stilted and amateurish. Tom Segura still makes me laugh even though he seems utterly unlikable and smug so I still tune in. And that’s ok. None of these guys hold a candle to Jeselnik (ducking).
  8. And Cruel to Be Kind may be the best Nick Lowe song.
  9. All right, just hear me out. I have what is likely a stupid idea, but this is Surly. I wonder if Kruel is closer to his physical potential than most HS recruits. Meaning not much ceiling for his currently intended position. But what if we could convert him into a short yardage specialist? He’s got the size and coordination. Maybe it’s just the red-zone-PTSD talking.
  10. And Whitt is an exceptional blocker at the WR position. Moore is faster, but I don’t think he was better in any other category last season.
  11. No, white women and white men are the largest voting blocs and both go Republican. Dems have no message for them. Not having a message for them is wage fraud by whoever is in control.
  12. Spoilered below is the Sooners Illustrated preview of CBs. Highlights: -They expect Gentry Williams back and as a starter. He's coming off of two seasons with major shoulder issues and, I think, he missed the spring as well. I feel like he's kind of a white stag for them - rarely seen and mostly out of reach, but much desired. -Is Eli Bowen going to be a true stud at CB? He did fine as a freshman. He graded out really well at PFF, but I do have to remind myself that their grades in the secondary are the worst that they provide. I'm assuming it's a tape issue. But was this guy just the tallest midget for a bad CB room? Or was he good and headed towards great? -Jacobe Johnson is talked about the way Texas fans and moderators have talked about highly ranked but rarely seen players over the years. They're still waiting for him to breakout. Good luck with that. -They're talking up Courtland Guillory as though he's a wizard. It's just not a good sign if you're constantly starting true freshmen at CB. -The Safety that Venables took to Media Days is about as articulate and competent-sounding as R Mason Thomas. To the surprise of no one, they sound like a team loaded with true dumbfucks. Or maybe he's an immigrant and English isn't his first language or something.
  13. "He was JOKING" outrage incoming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
  14. The two Japanese grenades my Dad brought back from the 1943 Alaska Aleutian Campaign were deactivated without any explosive materials. They were pretty cool paperweights, but I gave them to my neighbor - a BATFE explosives expert - for his collection.
  15. Cruel Summer is the best Bananarama song and #2 isn’t particularly close.
  16. Javier is out at park doing long toss on the field right now
  17. We optioned mayo for a guy that looks like he eats mayo by gallon.
  18. I think Aranda will incorporate them like henchmen. Imagine the intimidating visual of Aranda standing on the sideline with that dead-eyed vacancy in his soul while he's surrounded by a dozen smirking dwarves.
  19. Spoilered below is the Sooners Illustrated preview of the LBs/Cheetah (kind of a NB, but also a DPR). Highlights: -They lament the loss of Danny Stutsman. It's heresy to say, but I think that guy was more harm than asset. Sure he made a lot of tackles, but that's a byproduct of the defense being designed to funnel plays to the second level. He was always tackling guys 8 yards downfield. -Kobe McKenzie is average as grits. I'm glad Texas didn't land him, given the talent accumulated now at LB. He played a lot last year and did very little. -One of my picks for surprise standouts for next year is Omosigho. They've now committed him to a position and I think he'll win the most PT. When I watched them last year, I felt like he was impacting plays during limited snaps. -Getting Kendal Daniels has been kind of downplayed by all of the okies, I guess because he went to OSU first? I think it is a huge pickup and expect him to win the lion's share of snaps at Cheetah, playing the Big Cheetah version. -This could potentially be a team strength unless they're committed to starting McKenzie and Dolby. -I feel like Kip Lewis was a non-entity all year in 2024 except when some dark voodoo shit performed on the OU sidelines called for the "Defensive Touchdown Play" in desperate moments.
  20. To this day I remain gobsmacked by how many Americans don't realize that normal Presidential terms runs exactly 4 years from January 20th (21st if the 20th is a Sunday) in an odd year. It's an ODD YEAR you fucking idiots.
  21. Rain probably hurt the race more than helped as the medium/hard tire differential could have made for some interesting strategy calls.
  22. I'm high on Kruel. And Id love to have him.
