A bit of advice for Russia, the GOP or whoever wants to eliminate American democracy in the future. Next time, recruit your conspirators from a more diverse gene pool to avoid everyone involved looking like they are evil mutants or biologically assembled from the leftover body parts of executed criminals. It’s a bit of a tell.26 points

Too many to tell. When I was a producer at KTRK-13 I would go to the Oiler practice facility a couple of times a week during the season. Some memories include Jeff Alm pretending he was going to drive his Cadillac into the group of reporters/photogs interviewing Jack Pardee in the parking lot. Did a big fish-tail and sped off. He died right after that (I saw the autopsy report, so don't bother). I remember Ian Howfield crying after he got cut for missing a chip-shot in Washington. Saw Buddy Ryan and Kevin Gilbride's first altercation. Ray Childress got me kicked out of the facility one time for telling PR guy Chip Namias that I had told Ray to tell Chip to "get Jack's ass out here because was tired of waiting for him." Actually collected on a bet with Cody Carlson I had made several years before when he was at Baylor. We were at the same black-tie sorority event in Waco when he was quarterback there and I was a pup at Texas. He was trash talking at dinner and I had finally had enough. We bet on the Texas-BU game that year, and he actually remembered it when I brought it up later and paid up. I produced Ray Childress' show, and we also had Ernest Givins in studio every Sunday night after home games. They were both good dudes to work with, though Ray's wife (a UT Tri-Delt) was more pleasant to be around. Also did some of the "Off the Field" material and would go along to the players' homes to shoot interviews and b-roll. Bruce Matthews, Mike Munchak, Chris Dishman. When we would go over to the APC and would see Bud Adams' he would always say the same thing to Bob Allen every, single, time. "Hey, Allen. What marriage are you on now?" Then he would cackle as if it was the first time he ever said it. Adams had to have been the inspiration for the Judge in "The Natural." His office was in the basement of the APC, with no natural sunlight and the lights were always dim. I will also take partial credit in getting Jerry Glanville fired. The day after they lost to the Steelers in the playoffs I was sitting in the office while Bob was doing the six-o'clock and a guy calls from Intercontinental Airport to tell me that Glanville is sitting out there waiting on a flight to Atlanta. Within an hour I had a crew from our Atlanta affiliate on the way to the airport there, but only after Bob got on the phone and screamed at their anchor. That guy would not believe that the Falcons would interview, much less hire Glanville. He refused, but eventually caved. Glanville's face getting off the plane was priceless. He was caught and he knew it. We got the video via satellite about 10-minutes to 10 p.m., and Glanville had made the comment to the effect of he was happy to be there "because if you're not sleeping in Atlanta, you're just camping out." Bob was livid. He called Bud and played it for him over the phone and then went onset and just winged a 2-minute rant on what a piece of shit Glanville was and how he had dissed Houston, the Oilers, errybody. They fired Glanville the next day (or, had a mutual parting of the ways). Last story. After the Chiefs/Montana playoff loss I got fired for a couple of days. The station was being remodeled and the sports department was outside in a trailer. I had told the security guard to make sure the west side door by the heli-pad was unlocked so I could tapes to playback in time. About 5-minutes before Tim Melton (my favorite guy) went on at 10 p.m. I ran out of the trailer with ALL my tapes. Highlights Post-game. Everything. And, the door was locked. No one was coming. No one was answering the phone. So, I sat down on my ass and kicked in the bottom glass panel in and crawled through. Otherwise, our whole Sunday sportscast would have been Tim tap-dancing for five-minutes. The next day they brought me into the station manager's office, showed me the security tape, and fired me. On Wednesday Bob Allen (RIP) called me and told me to "get back here." I don't know what or how, but he and Tim went to bat for me. Two of the best human beings you could ever hope to meet.19 points

Haven't cared about the NFL since they left. They made me realize that you have to love a team as a kid to care about it as an adult. They always choked but you always forgave them. Earl Campbell. Bud would have brought VY to Houston. As an Oiler. Goddamn you, Bud. Just goddamn you.16 points

True Chris Fowler story: I'm at Antones mid 90s with GF and her friend. I notice young upstart Fowler there by himself (this was before he was famous and only college football diehards would recognize him). I mention it. GF's friend goes up to him and tells him her friend wants to talk to him (unbeknownst to and unrequested by me). So he comes over thinking some hot chick is going be there and he sees my face. His face looked like someone farted on him. I preceded to tell him to tell that asshole Corso to quit bagging on the Horns. Fin11 points

I have amusing thoughts about Trump's situation. I thought about posting a gif of the trash crusher in the original Star Wars movie. But I'm still sick about the Kurds. We won't choose to do anything fast enough to save their blood and lives. Shame on the GOPs for waiting for the Miscreant in Chief to take it this far before spitting the bit, if they are indeed spitting the bit. I can't prevent my imagination from placing me in the field with the out-gunned Kurds facing the air force, artillery, and army of a mechanized army. No matter what happens finally to Trump and his henchmen, it won't satisfy our complicity in setting these people up for slaughter. We may make some kind of amends in the future, but that will do little good for the Kurds in the field today. Pith is weak sauce on a day like today. I'm so sorry about the Kurds.10 points

October 5th marked the 14th anniversary of my dad’s passing. He died in his sleep at 62. He missed the MNC. And the absolute destruction of OU by Texas that weekend. I especially miss him during football season. There are not many dads who would sit and watch football with their daughters, much less expect them to retain the shit being explained. Hook’em10 points

I don't know these guys. Here's a picture and a visitation register where you had dinner with them 3 different times at the White House. I have dinner with lots of people. Here's a picture of your son with them. I have lots of sons. You'd have to ask Rudy. I've heard they wear lots of cologne. Lots of cologne. But we're making billions and billions off of China and the whole thing is a hoax. We were out of ammunition. No more. Hoax. Sham. Phony hunt. Rudy.8 points

One of my favorite OU - Texas weekend stories: way back in the day, my dad was parking in the neighborhood for the game. Gets waved into this network of lawns, etc., pays the guy up front and they keep waving him into the next yard, the next yard, past other cars, until finally the last guy just waves him back out into the street, thanks for your cash.8 points

I love and respect my dad a ton, but it's a very... it's not a Hank Hill/Bobby Hill dynamic, because I'm not a Bobby Hill and he's a fucking... actuary who has not mowed a lawn as long as I've been alive to my recollection. But that kind of unspoken agreement that feelings exist but stuff that's hard to talk about can be conveyed nonverbally or... I dunno. You guys know what I mean. Not a dearth of feelings being communicated, but an absence of feelings being talked about directly. That was who I really didn't want to come clean to. One time years before I got sober (when I was still in school), I was freaking out a bit about my inability to stop drinking and I actually drove home intending to come clean and ask him for help. Didn't call ahead or anything, just showed up one Saturday afternoon. I think he thought that he must have forgotten I told him (and I did used to pop in a lot because I had gigs in Houston frequently) and just said "Oh, hey!" when I walked in. And I totally pussed out and just hung out for a bit and bought some booze and drank in my room at night and went back to Austin the next day. At any rate, at La Hacienda there's a "family session" or something like that where your family comes for a day or two and you work stuff out (if they'll do that). It was really moving to watch that happen with a lot of my rehab buddies (did it with maybe 6 patients/families in the room). And then it was my turn and it's my sisters talking about how I isolated myself and ... my memory is really bad around this time but my sisters saying stuff that was absolutely correct and I was sorry for but.. whatever, yeah I know, i'll do better. And my dad's turn, and I think he struggled for a bit to find words, and then said something like "I'm mad because.... I don't know why you thought you couldn't tell anybody. Don't you know we love you? Why?". And that was tough to hear. I just pulled that memory up, I may need to think on that more, that was a tough one. And we've gone back to the thing where we don't talk about feelings or very frequently at all really but he's proud of me and happy with me but it all goes largely unsaid. When there's weather in Houston I ask if it's flooding and he asks how work is and says I should bring my dog down, and talks about the next time they're coming up to Austin. I'm not sure what the point is as it relates to what you're talking about with being burden to your parents. I don't want to guilt trip you because I don't know that that's a useful thing, but maybe it should be highlighted that you will definitely not CEASE to be a fucking burden if you disappear into a bottle and then disappear forever. That'll be a thing they have to carry forever. Of course I bet that, like me, you've been frustrated with the fact that while you could die, you can't cease to have ever existed. I guess I'm glad that I got to have that conversation with my dad, and that... man a bit later he got to give a toast at my wedding and have all his friends come up and see his son get married and fuckin.. Mr. Jones who lived down the street is saying that I turned out to be a fine young man and all that stupid shit. The way to erase the burden is not to erase your existence, it's to get well and live the life that you should be living if you weren't fighting to the death with an addiction to alcohol. It also solves 90% of the rest of your problems and enables you to enjoy life. Really hope you try and stay safe. I talked about the swimming pool thing earlier, jumping in and not trying to dip your toes and scurry away or whatever. At some point, you're going to have some help in front of you. Fucking take the dive man. Come back and chat with us. It'll be a shock and then you can get on with swimming in the cool clean waters of life. It's fucking nice man. When you see that window, jump in.8 points

Know who else is in Vienna right now ? Dmitry Firtash. He's the Putin linked Ukrainian oligarch out on $172M bail in Vienna while he fights extradition to the US to face bribery charges. Mobster. He was also part owner of Cambridge Analytica. At one point his atty was Lanny Davis when Davis was also representing Michael Cohen during his initial testimony to Congress.7 points

Remember when Erdogan's goons beat up American citizens and kicked a woman in the face while she was half conscious on a sidewalk and did all of that on television within a mile of the US Capitol just moments after dining with our president? You see, part of the new alpha libtears era of tough guys like trump is that guys like Erdogan can do whatever ther want with us. It's our new style. If you're a murderous shit bag dictator you get to buttfuck us right out in the open. America First. If you don't understand it I'm not gonna explain it to you.6 points

I have a few observations of changes made by DC Grinch this year. They look a lot like 2018 OSU and WSU previously. The concepts behind the scheme look a lot like what LSU does but much less sound. Obviously the Sooners are also doing it with less talent and a lot fewer reps than the Swamp Kitties. OU is using 4 man fronts on most downs – basically a 4-3 Over alignment with the NB in place of the SLB. It’s a penetrating 1-gap scheme which is a radical change from Stoops’ 2-gap wall to control the blocker and threaten both gaps. On the plus side it creates more quick pressure in the backfield. On the minus side it lends itself to overpenetration and overpursuit. The secondary has gone from an aggressive zone scheme to overwhelmingly straight quarters coverage. This puts a lot of bodies on the deep ball and gives tight, semi-man defense on the outside WRs. The NB gets walked up a lot into the 2nd level as an extra run defender, which creates opportunities for the slot receiver behind him on play action and RPO calls. See the second play of the UCLA game and picture the WR running slant splitting the safeties while the QB pulls the ball and throws it. Quarters coverage tends to have issues on short crossing routes since underneath coverage is light and you can count on man with the outside WRs. It also has some of the normal cover 2 issues with slot routes to the outside when combined with inside routes from the X WR. But to me the real issue is run fits in the secondary. 4 DBs have deep coverage responsibilities which means they often arrive late and from depth in run support. The really good defensive coaches address this by spilling runs to the sideline which gives their DBs a chance to catch up. The Purple Wizard of Manhattan used to do this with tough DL play and sound LBs that read well and always employed the correct leverage. Patterson uses his wide 9-tech to give immediate edge support and force the play wide. Grinch actually aggravates the issues with run fits from quarters by penetrating so aggressively with his front. When his DEs and BLB equivalent get upfield it creates a lot of room for B and C-gap runs. The DL often stem pre-snap or run slants and stunts. All the motion up front by the defense makes it even harder for the back end to fit the correct gap. It creates confusion for the OL but also for themselves and it means they are often not gap sound. You can see it in the history of Grinch’s defenses. Anybody with a solid running game could usually move the ball effectively and often enough they ripped him a new one. See UW, Zona with Kalil Tate and MSU’s Lewerke. You could see how the DL movement and poor run fits damaged tOSU’s run defense last year also. I expect OU’s pass defense to be more effective because their pass rush will create more pressure than last year. They’re also more likely to generate turnovers. But the tradeoff is increased vulnerability on the ground – especially to the big play.5 points

By the way, timestamp and mark this post. The cascade of insanity and events has reached such a critical mass that I hereby admit that something MAY be happening. This shit is bonkers. Particularly the shit with the two Ukrainians fleeing the country.....hours after meeting with Rudy....at Trump hotel....the day before they were supposed to testify. The facts are getting beyond Trump's ability to control the narrative. I have no idea what's going to happen next. Might it involve acts of war, people dying, etc.? Could be. We've given the keys to the car to a fucking lunatic, and the process of taking control of the vehicle may get REALLY fucking messy....and he might decide just to drive the damned car over the cliff before we can get the job done. Buckle up. This is going to be beyond batshit.5 points

Like others have said, you're no bother at all. For some reason this reminds me of that case where someone was prosecuted for murder for telling someone to go kill themselves. The details escape me but you get the idea. Like if @hundredTT dies and his family gets into his laptop and sees this thread where a recovered alcoholic uses the reverse psychology of the big book to say something like "aren't sure you're alcoholic? Step into the nearest barroom and try some controlled drinking. It may be worth it to find out the truth. . .yadda yadda yadda." So, for the record, Mr. and Mrs. HundredTT, if your son is dead and you're reading this - WE, WHO APPEAR TO HAVE RECOVERED FROM A SEEMINGLY HOPELESS STATE OF MIND AND BODY pray for your BABY BOY to take up his bed and live happy, joyous and free. I have a son of my own for whom I would give my own life, and I can't imagine the heartache that you're going through. Now that we've gotten that out of the way. . . @hundredTT I giggled when I logged in this evening and saw the debate about vodka pints, because that was the way I drank. Case of Smirnoff half pints stuffed in and around my Grand Cherokee's spare tire area under the carpet, untucked shirt, hip pocket. That was my drinking. I too have a family that loves me - I was in a room with my Dad, Stepmom, Mom, and Sister and they were all crying telling me they didn't want me to die. I can remember it now like it was yesterday. For one magical moment in time, I saw the love that they had for me, and was able to break through the insanity of my own extreme selfishness to say "maybe you're right, and maybe I'm willing to go to Alcoholics Anonymous." You said you were able to stay sober for 2.5 years ON YOUR OWN so don't bullshit us and tell us it can't be done. My experience is that it's a helluva lot easier to get sober and stay stopped when I'm in the rooms with all the other freaks. We're free entertainment and we just might save your life. I'd like to point out your delusion that the end of your suffering will also end your family's. On the contrary, if you die of active alcoholism that will be way more painful for your loved ones. You can't imagine the heartache they'll experience every day for the rest of their lives. Alcoholism is the most contagious disease on Earth. You mentioned rage. Oh my god, I know rage like no other. I used it for fuel. Later on I realized that rage and anger were nothing more than the way I processed fear. The primordial fear - I was going to lose something I had (any semblance of a life) and wasn't going to get something I wanted (I just wanted a life worth living!!). To quote George Washington in Hamilton, "Dying is easy son, living is harder." I just want to do whatever I can to prevent you finding a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Would you be willing to talk to me on the phone for a few minutes?5 points
