  1. The Reba McEntire effect/affect. I’ve been down every backroad in Oklahoma and nobody sounds like that over the top cornpone.
  2. I’ve been a Pokes fan since I was a very small kid and my grandpa took me to a Bedlam game in the mid 60’s, (We won). That doesn’t make me a better fan than anyone else, just been around long enough to remember the decades of near irrelevance of OSU football. We’d win some games we weren’t supposed to and had a few breakout seasons but that was about it. The problem with our fan base now is that all anyone under about 40 knows is a successful program. Les Miles started the swagger then Gundy made it expected for 18 years. These fans are standing on the shoulders of what Gundy built and complaining about the view. My fear is that now that he’s gone we’ll just quietly slip back to the lower tier of the conference. It was time for MG to go, but it certainly could have been handled better, and now that the change has come we’re going to have to come to the realization that we’re a relatively small school located in the middle of nowhere. Now I love me some Stillwater, but finding a great coach that’s willing to come take on the current dumpster fire we have going on and is willing to take over an under funded program and be happy living an hour away from decent shopping or restaurants isn’t going to be as easy as our fans think. We can afford a known coach but how long will they stay? I see a team in perpetual turmoil for the foreseeable future, and a hard lesson for our younger fans.
  3. So he allegedly assaulted a food delivery driver for refusing to move from a parking spot and the driver stabbed him during? Sounds like a FA/FO situation.
  4. I’ve kinda tuned out on the Simpsons the last few years because with the exception of Family Guy the rest of the Sunday lineup sucks.
  5. How did the top men get it in that crate?
  6. Now I want some Jiffy Pop
  7. Shit. Oh well, dumb was part of the thread name for a reason.
  8. We’re upside down when it comes to his buyout. We spent that Pickens money on gee gaws and doo dads and now it’d be really painful money wise to buy him out. I’ve supported the guy, even after last season I said he deserved a chance to redeem himself. Now we’re 3 bad games in and even with 65 new players and a complete new coaching staff nothing’s changed. Since he’s the only constant there’s not many places to look other than at him. I say order the statue, rename the field after him and let’s move forward immediately.
  9. That didn’t seem festive at all
  10. Was cruising around the El Campo vicinity tonight and was wondering if any of you could explain something about sod farming that I’ve always wondered about? When you buy grass sod it comes with about an inch to an inch and a half of soil attached to the bottom of the sod. When you drive past a sod farm after harvest you see where these strips have been cut out. My question is, how is this top soil replaced? By theory after 6 or 8 cuttings the field would be around a foot lower than the surrounding area, yet it’s not. I’ve never seen giant earth moving equipment replenishing the dirt so new grass can be sewn, but the fields remain level. So where does the new top soil come from?
  11. Abigail Dye is no longer with Fox 26, my eyeballs are sad to hear this.
  12. I’m never gonna hear it so what do I care?
  13. Probably is now.
  14. Yogi says fuck you.
  15. Apparently I’m seeing them for you.

    Getting old sucks

    Happy Birthday! Tell me more about these bed lights!
  17. Wanna bet?
  18. Yeah, young.
  19. Giving CPR to someone who isn’t dead can really screw them up
  20. I’d live in that shower like Aquaman, just hop on out for the Beej then my water pruned ass would jump right back in! NTW, Is it obvious I’ve been married for 30 years?
  21. It’s post pandemic, so I’m guessing current year timeline or close, but Bobby is just 21 which means unless they left Bobby with a friend to finish HS they’d only have been living in SA for a couple of years and would have heard all the hometown gossip from Bobby. I’m overthinking it, glad to kinda catch up with the gang and I’m looking forward to finishing the season but so far I’m thinking Thomas Wolfe was right about going home again.
  22. Don’t know what I was expecting but 2 episodes in and I’m kinda underwhelmed. Bobby in the beer episode seemed kinda like a dick to Hank, and how did Hank not know Dale was elected Mayor, did he go to Saudi Arabia and not keep touch back home?
  23. In the movie universe do you think Bill Gambini’s cousin Vinny ever won another court case?
  24. Didn’t know until now that she and Gary dated. Also surprised that Richard Sanders who played Les Nessman is still alive and close to the same age as the rest of the cast.
  25. Carpenter? Did she have a guy swing by fix the cable once a week as well?
