  1. Put it on the money.
  2. And white and male, no more dei shit like hiring qualified women or minorities. Sorry for the oxymoron, women and minorities are by definition never qualified, so just be a white male. He should also probably by a Cybertruck and post a bunch on social media about how Elon is the coolest alpha memelord to ever live.
  3. Protectionism, we need 'murican made fentanyl to keep the Jimmy Earl's in business. Seriously though, why is there not more discussion on why the US has such a demand for this shit? What kind of shithole country has so many people gobbling this crap up like candy? Sounds like a country full of degenerates if you ask me, I'd close down the border if I were another country to keep this sick fuck American's out.
  4. 1. I don't think there will be a long term difference in favorable networks and timeslots compared to non OU/TX conference games before the move. I couldn't find any easy stats but if it was less in 2024 its probably because there wasn't any breakout team that spent any meaningful time in the top 10. OSU and Utah were supposed to do that then shit the bed and it was hard to take ASU and ISU seriously until later in the season. 2. There is probably some of this, offset somewhat by adding four new teams that will tune in more to Big 12 games not featuring their team, I don't think it is a big change, but that's just a feeling. A number from that chart that I find interesting and gives me hope is that in 2020 OSU v. ISU drew 2.81M viewers, not much less than OU v. ISU at 2.99M. We also broke 2M twice in non OU/TX games (v. ISU and v. Tech). In 2024 before we shit the bed we drew 2.8M v. Arky and 2.1M vs Utah. If that's the high end for the XII from week to week it'll be okay. There won't be any 4M or 5M games once Prime leaves but the contract was signed before he took the job (I think) and no way a network is paying a premium because of one coach who could leave at any moment. Bottom line, ratings will never compete on the high end with BIG and SEC, but will do good enough to justify the TV contract. The TNT deal sounds like a good thing, linear is always better than streaming, but it feels like it might take some time for people to realize that TNT is in the CFB game now. Better than CW though, lol.
  5. My favorite part he thinks the guy who has spent the last 20 years saying vaccines are dangerous should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to vaccine processes. Absolutely fucking insane.
  6. Wow, huge shock Ana is justifying putting an anti vaxxer in charge of Health and Human Services, on the topic of…vaccines.
  7. Forgot he was in The Birdcage. Still one of my all time favorite movies.
  8. This “dems are also bad” shit is really starting to infuriate me. It’s a big tent, why do so many who lean left demand that the part perfectly align with all of their beliefs? Some say the party is too left (trans rights, defund the police, open borders), others say it’s too far right (no universal healthcare, too close to Wall Street, support for wars). Why can’t we determine this stuff in primaries then back the candidate who might not be perfectly aligned to each of your personal beliefs, but they check some boxes and recognize there is good on some maybe even most issues? The republican will almost always check no boxes (even in trans rights many dems think it’s being pushed too hard but few would agree to vilify them or to abolish gender affirming care altogether). Gaza is the perfect example, I’ve bitched enough in the other thread, but it’s abhorrent to me that the protest voters on that one issue didn’t give a single shit about the people here in the US who are now suffering in very predictable ways by letting a true monster take office. Republicans have similar basic dynamics, some are RINOs or “I’m not a fan of Trumps personality,” but they will always back the candidate because they see it as better in general that the opposition. For as stupid as many of them are they at least see big picture shit like that while the left has way too many self righteous tools who are cool with the suffering of others if the candidate isn’t perfect on everything. End rant, back on topic, everyone of these examples in this thread are people who will still vote for Trump and will probably support him becoming a dictator because at least he isn’t woke amirite?
  9. Saw the headline, first thought was murder suicide. Article says no foul play, so gas leak or carbon monoxide? That would explain the dog. Saw the cult thing above so suicide pact? Would be shitty to take out the dog with them, but looked on wiki and the cult post above wasn’t there and google didn’t show anything. So it has to be gas or carbon monoxide right? I guess it could be suicide pact for non cult reasons, would still be shitty to take the dog out too. I’m not a big film buff, he’s one of those actors that I know I’ve seen many times but the one that really comes to mind is The Replacements, lol, I’m basic af I guess.
  10. I just hope Vegetables gets a lifetime contract, lol.
  11. Definitely worth a shot, gotta try something new, and pulling on hate strings appears to be key. I have no faith it would work, but should be tried.
  12. I always found Cuban annoying, but he was "our" annoying owner, we embraced his eccentricities. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. I seriously still can't fathom how or why this has happened.
  13. The first part of your post is why it won't work. Unless they conclude with "oh and we hate trannies and browns now too" none of that matters to the average voter. It's why I've given up all hope. I think it would be a true disservice if dems jumped on the hate train to win elections but without it they'll continue to lose. I honestly don't know the answer at this point.
  14. Ugh, there is no open invitation from OU, both sides have discussed, specifically 2031 as a possibility as it's the first year neither has a P5 noncon currently scheduled. We've scheduled bedlam in pretty much every other sport where it's easier. OU's football noncon opened up far more than ours with the move because they had some SEC programs scheduled as noncons that were made part of the conference schedule and they went from 9 conference games to 8. The AD's get along just fine. It'll happen. If the networks made a proposal for something earlier my guess is it would happen sooner.
  15. 2021: OSU was 9-1 and ranked No. 9 in the country, TCU was 4-6. 2022: OSU was 5-1 and TCU was 6-0 and ranked No. 3 in the country. 2024: OSU was 3-7 and TCU was 6-4, also in the same time slot as Bama-LSU. You don't think that might have had something to do with the difference? Plenty of Big 12 games made it to decent timeslots and did fine (including some not involving CU). Nowhere near a UT or tOSU game, but in line with the contract. Before our season went to complete shit OSU-Arky drew 2.8M even though it was up against UT-UM (it certainly helped that your game was a blowout and ours went to double overtime). The biggest problem the Big 12 will likely have going forward is cannibalism where it will be difficult for one program to win out and make it into the Top 10 with any regularity. It is what it is, the games are still fun, and there's plenty of timeslots available. I doubt it helps to say it for the 40th time, but I and most other Big 12 fans (on this board especially) undertand the difference in ratings and TV contracts. It seems about right to me, I just always will push back against "nobody watches" or the notion that the Big 12 contract should be zero'd out in 2031, that type of hyperbole is just asinine.
  16. MAGA: We’re cutting $2 trillion. DUMBFUCK: Here’s a report of up to $500B in fraud, so happy they’re focused on that.
  17. Bwahahahahaha! We got him spiraling into meme mode again. I still can’t figure out if he’s a troll, a bot, or a truly brainwashed believer.
  18. I mean I asked specifically about the deficit and he went with “ shUmer eT Al hOlDING raLLiEs IN sUPPorT oF gOvERnMenT FRauD.” He’s the perfect mark for maga.
  19. Lol, so of the options I presented he chose bitch ass pussy, ignore the question, and post something nonresponsive. Remember that they've been told to say that all they’re doing is weeding out fraud waste and abuse caused solely by democrats. They also are told to believe that we sent $50 million of condoms to Gaza and that $6 million was spent “to study magic” when it was actually a grant to a Children’s museum called “The Magic City.” The absolute dumbest of useful idiots.
  20. Are you willing to admit that neither you nor any of your people ever gave a single shit about “THe dEfiCIt” or are you going to be a bitch ass pussy and pretend that talking point ever existed. Or maybe it’s “Trumps budget and Trumps budget approved by Congress” aren’T ThE SAMe ThIng. “Reducing the size of government” is and always has been fucking over poor people to transfer wealth to the rich. It’ll never cease to amaze me to see useful idiots like you support this crap in real time while parroting their bs narrative justification or falling for their nonsense ragebait. “Look another trans kid came in 12th at a high school track contest!”
  21. I'd cheer for Street Clothes too if I was a Lakers fan. Thanks for going away in exchange for an all time great in his prime.
  22. Pokes win somehow. Cool. Does the CBI still exist?
  23. Predetermining results? No. Lifelong Laker fan Adelson who clearly wants to tank the franchise and move it to Vegas in a league that is happy to overlook the worst trade of all time to help its marquee franchise? Yes, absolutely. I think Adelson did this intentionally with the League's blessing.
  24. Just saw you have some injuries, shows how much I’m paying attention lately. Make it 20 I guess.
