  1. WTF was the safety doing there?
  2. This is fun. Anchor down, 'dores
  3. Yeah but he's still got an axe to grind against the admin from his early days. Plus he had to take a pay cut a few years ago & apologize publicly when he was about to lose his locker room over the OAN crap & other tone deaf things he did. I'm sure they got most of that money back to him, but Gundy's got plenty of ego & pettiness.
  4. Gundy's gonna keep taking bags from osu. Easy gig & he knows if they're going to fire him--the most successful coach in program history--theyre gonna have to pay him off.
  5. West Virginia is going in dry on coach ImAMan in Stillwater. Okie State may have the worst run defense in college football. 31-7 just before half.
  6. The U defense hasn't had a killer instinct since Ray Lewis sign is lit.
  7. That's a damn good question. My sister's husband was an NCO and retired as a 1st Sgt after close to 30 years. He's not vocal about his politics at all and is a fabulous human so I'm still holding out hope for the both of them. My wife's brother, OTOH, graduated from USAFA and retired as a--say it along w/ me--Lt Col and thinks Rush, Hannity, Trump, et al were put on earth by a divine being. He almost died due to COVID because he wasn't going to be forced by Southwest Airlines to get vaxxed. Again, he generally keeps his thoughts to himself but he definitely contributed to the brain mush poisoning of his parents. His twenty-something daughter and son have helped him to temper his nutjob opinions some as they've made it clear that they're not following him down that path & if he wants to be part of their lives he needs to make better choices. Damn proud of those youngsters.
  8. I'm the opposite of some of y'all. My complicated relationship w/ my 79 YO dad has improved slightly due to his hate from Trump. Full disclosure, when I was a 7 YO in '76 I asked him if he was voting for Carter or Ford (yeah, I was an advanced nerd at a young age). His response was "none of your damn business." That's when I discovered a valuable family tenet: you keep your politics to yourself. I know his wife voted for W and Romney and suspect he followed suit due to being at the "I got mine, fuck you" stage of his boomer cycle. He's been retired in CO for 20+ years and bitches about legal weed and "those damn bicycle lanes they're putting up everywhere." So I was very pleasantly surprised 4 years ago when he offered up how despicable he thought Trump was and how important it was for Biden to win. Unfortunately, my oldest sister whom I've loved and admired my entire life seems to have been brainwashed after being married to an Air Force veteran for almost 40 years. Again, we don't discuss politics but she's dropped a few hints on occasion that make me cringe and fear that they might be more than just GOP, but GQP. We talk weekly but only see one another every few years or so. I'm turning a blind eye to that one because I don't want my worst suspicions to be confirmed.
  9. Daniel making the FG for $100K was pretty fucking cool.
  10. It's like clockwork. The Gameday producers have got to find at least one tearjerker story per week for reasons unknown.
  11. Brent Venables eats the cream frosting out of Oreos and then puts the two cookie pieces back together & shoves them into the container.* * My buddy's wife (no pics) actually does this.
  12. Mine arrived w/ my camo koozies last Saturday.
  13. Brent Venables leaves his empty shopping cart in the lot instead of returning it to the cart corral.
  14. Let Trump get involved.
  15. Not freaking. Sister was. He just sent a text 20 minutes ago saying they're ok & on their way home.
  16. My dad sent this pic of the Biltmore in Asheville last Thursday. They were there on vacation last week & scheduled to return to CO on Saturday. He hasn't replied to a group text from my sister & me or calls to cell or home phone. Not time to panic yet, but talk about shitty timing. This was a makeup trip for a vacation that got canceled at the last minute in the spring due to late winter storms & airline cancelations.
  17. Epic talent & a man of the highest order. RIP.
  18. That TD pass by Darnold was ridiculous. It literally hit Jefferson in his left shoulder 2" left of the DB's helmet. Comeback player of the year leader in the house.
  19. Packers will be hiring a kicker from the parking lot at halftime.
  20. Vikes are exerting their will on GB. Skol.
  21. 100% this. The Trumpkin --who drives a Ford Raptor-- was openly bragging about how many pumps he tagged over the course of a week one day to his closest pals at the bar. Most of these guys are contractors or small side business hustler types. I waited about 15 minutes before going up to order another round and casually dropped in a "man, have y'all been hearing about all the vandalism that's going on lately? Store & shop owners are spending extra time & money cleaning up after punks are trashing their establishments." This brought about a hardy round of "what do you expect these days? That's Joe Biden's America," blah blah blah." They swallowed the bait whole before one of them asked me for more details. I told them how in just the past few days I'd talked to the owner of the local Big Bucket while I was gassing up & he was out scraping decals off his pumps for the 3rd time that day (true story) and how the employees at the nearby Whataburger were having to do the same thing at the drive thru boards. Watching the wave of awareness hit them as I carried the pints back to my boys was pretty fucking nice.
  22. I like this team. They're fun to watch [emoji869]
  23. Arkansas just needs to not turn the ball over & they'll win this game. Aggy d is horribad.
  24. Bwahahaha....fake punt by piggy!
