    But I hate something that you like so you must hate it as much as I do. 

    Excellent point.  I guess I better head on over to the ST thread to let them know how wrong they are.  Think I'll drop in on the West World thread as well.  I have opinions and they must be heard!

  2. Dang, hadn’t really followed the standings that closely, conference does seem down overall. We have KU, KSU, and OU series left, with non-con series against East Tennessee and @Michigan in between. Still possible to get back on track but I think it’s gonna be a mess of mediocrity. 



    I’m afraid this is actually as on track as this team is capable of.

    Good point on insurance.

    This is the second elimination where your teammate has to be mounted on something or hold weight while you puzzle shit. 

    Seems like these teams that lose choose the wrong person for each task.  Jodi should have been on the bed to call out the puzzle locations...she can talk clearly and isn't as heavy to move.

    That week Wes and his girl got lost...why didn't Wes hold the weights...? She was that bad at puzzles I guess.

    Danny seems like an idiot...not sure yet.

    As far as Jodi, if they had a communication issue, it would probably be better to have the person with better command of the mutual language to be doing most of the talking.  So yeah, I was surprised to see her doing the cranking.  

    Zara has severe dyslexia and numbers are especially problematic for her.  That math was pretty damn easy though.  I'd have still been tempted to have her do her best and just see how long Mr. Perfect could hold that shit up.  It seemed like Wes was way too slow on the math. 

    Danny, who has always come off as likeable, seems kind of like an asshole this season.  I think he and Sarah just don't want to be steamrolled by the vets and want to play their own game.  They're on a season where that wasn't necessary due to the teams and partners, so that's kind of dumbass behavior.  They're causing trouble where they don't need to.  It seems more like stubborn ass behavior than dumbass behavior.  Probably due to his working with Sarah.  Just being associated with her makes a player unlikeable.  I want an Emily vs Sarah elimination ASAP.  Can't stand either of them.

  4. Yeah, look at all that fan support for the Cowboys above!
    With fans like that, who needs rivals?

    Our team sucks. If we were sunshine pumping, you’d rightly mock us for being delusional. I’ll take this route.

    For the record, that last one you quoted was referring to OU.

    Maybe he wants to be a storm chaser? Isn't that the only legit reason to go to OU if you're not a football or softball player? 

    He doesn't look like a gymnast, so you're probably correct.  

  6. Fuck Kale Davis, stupid, traitorous, cockstain. Just got the shit rocked out of him in the eighth. Welcome back, mother fucker. I noticed when he entered the game the PA played "Shoulda Been a Cowboy." I'm here for the petty.

    Any idea why he transferred. Seems odd to go from OSU to Ou in baseball. Maybe he enjoys playing in a shittier stadium for a shittier team with little fan support.
  7. Yup, we're a bubble team, at best. Fundamentally broken. Just tuned into the midweek bedlam game ten minutes after start and we're already down 3 with no outs. I just don't get how we got so bad. Pitching is just atrocious. So many scoreless innings and stranded runners. I actually thought we'd be damn good this year.

    Like our ‘22 football team, I think by the end of the season we’ll be the worst team in the Big12. We won’t finish last due to some good play early, but I bet it’ll be pretty obvious who the worst team is. It’ll be Josh’s worst team for sure. There won’t be a magical run in the conference tournament this year to qualify. I can’t think of a single thing this team does well. I think it was Jeff who called them the least clutch team he’s every seen. That pretty much sums them up. Enough talent there to stay in 75% of our games but we seem to only be able to win about 20% of those.

    As things stand today, I only see the Big 12 getting 5 teams in the tournament (believe it was 5 last year as well). Baylor, Kansas, K-State and OU are not even close to the bubble right now.

    Tech might also flirting with the bubble if they aren’t careful despite being a top 25 team right now because their RPI is meh.

    I wouldn't assume OSU is in at this point.  We have series left against KSU, KU, and OU. There is zero reason to believe this team isn't capable of losing every series we have left and going 0-2 in the B12 tournament.  At this point, winning the Bedlam series will probably be our CWS.  

  9. What is it that other people are seeing in OSU that I'm not?  D1baseball still has us as the highest ranked team in the conference.  Heartland still has us at the top of the conference power rankings.  What the hell?  I don't get it.   Is this conference that bad?  The only thing I can come up with is winning the series against UT must count extra.  It's all I can think of that we're done.  And that was gift wrapped by a guy who refused to throw a strike until he got to the one guy on our team that can get a clutch hit.

    Started watching Australia and totally ageee with you, particularly Emily. She gives me that entitled Laurel vibe. And watch out for Troy. He’s a beast. Kind of reminds me of Landon. Nice guy, small but good at everything. 

    Don't sleep on Kiki either.  I thought she was all silicone and botox but she's kind of a badass.  What happened last week was not a fluke.   I think her and Troy are going to turn on Emily soon.  Can't wait to watch her stomp around the house calling them traitors when she and Grant were going to do the exact same thing to them once they were no longer of use to them.  

  11. I'm starting to think the Big XII is pretty shitty at baseball this year.  I know we sure as hell aren't anything special, but apparently that label applies to every other team in the conference as well.  I just feel like Texas, TCU, and Tech are the three best teams in the conference and will probably end up top 3 by the end of the season.  Maybe one or two of the them will get a home regional but I doubt we have a top 8 seed this season.  OSU, WV, and the Kansas schools will probably battle for the middle and hope for 2 or 3 seeds.  Someone could start playing good consistent baseball and make a run to a top 10 seed, but it doesn't seem like any of them want it.  Well, I'm sure they want it but they don't have the talent to do it.

    Most of the dudes are hypocrites because they have all had at least one shitty season, yet they want to talk shit to another guy so it goes round and round.

    Rewatched Rivals II, and like 3-4 times per episode Bananas is talking shit about Jordan.  That he treats women like shit, arrogant, blah blah.  Bro, yall are all the same.  Also skinny Aneesa is still insufferable...hating on Diem...really you can't get along with Diem?

    Meanwhile I am bored of this new Challenge show.  Episodes are too short to keep me engaged...I honestly forget to watch it each Wed.  That never happens with the original.

    Were we supposed to like Grant?  He seemed like an asshole.

    The open bullying and misogamy on those old seasons can be pretty jarring.  Not as jarring as when you see skinny Aneesa though.  I recently watched Challenge UK and Challenge Australia on Paramount + (highly recommend) and Grant was a total asshole.  He seemed like a cool guy the first few episodes of this new season and I thought I was going to like him.  I watched the Challenge Australia right around the time he started getting a little power on this season and damn did my opinion of him do a 180.  Him and that swimmer Emily are just unpleasant people I wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with.  The fact the Emily is besties with Sarah pretty much says it all.  

  13. I think this OSU baseball team will have a similar arc as our football team. By the end if the season we’ll all wonder how the hell this team was ever ranked in the top 10. Like the FB team, the last good thing they’ll do is beating UT, but that W is mostly due to Texas giving it away. Football team finished 5th and that seems about right for this team. Won’t surprise me if KSU sweeps us by a cumulative score of 48-0 and we lose the Bedlam series, even though OU looks awful.

  14. TCU has starting pitching issues. Moved their Friday night guy to the bullpen and the new guy, who is a freshman, has given up 4 homers in 2 innings tonight.
    They have 3 or 4 freshman they are leaning on heavily right on their staff.

    You oughta flip it over now. Total meltdown by our pitcher. And we’re just leaving Jim in to keep the walk carousel going. Unbelievable.
  15. The last two weeks have been a real hit to Wes' gigantic ego.  I don't even know how he can spin that, though I'm sure he will.  Were those two struggling with that math or  was that just how they edited it.  I was doing that shit in my head and feel like I could have answered almost every one of those in about 3 minutes.  

    I just rewatched Rivals and Wes had some pretty terrible moments in there.  So in the last 8 days, I've watched Wes do the following things:

    Pour 2 liters of Coke on Cara Maria's head for no reason other than he thought she was annoying.  This was early when she was still cute and sweet and it was probably the worst case of bullying in the history of the Challenge.  And that's a pretty high bar.

    Had to be literally carried up a mountain by Kenny in the final of Rivals

    In an effort to prove he's a mastermind, overthink a daily challenge so badly he guaranteed him and Zara were going into elimination

    Failed at simple math and got himself eliminated.  

    My opinion of Wes had never been lower than it is right now
