  1. Ha I wasn't wearing any OSU gear, but I did see a few who were. We were sitting just to the left of dead center in that second level of seats above the "floor seating" so normally an ideal spot, sound wise... Avett and TT sounded awesome... Old 97's sound was definitely off.
  2. Yeah all of the OSU twitter bros were fanatically re-tweeting that the other day. Nice comment by Ruhle.
  3. Dude that's awesome. I got a chance to meet Murry after the show the last time I saw Turnpike and Old 97's in Bonner Springs... maybe 2018 or so? I think the bill that night went Old 97's-Turnpike-Jason Isbell, and Murry was just hanging out over there on the left side of the stage by where the concessions and bathrooms after their set just talking to everyone who came up. Super nice dude. And yeah my friends and I were talking about how the Old 97's sounded... it was like the sound mixing was bad... like the vocals were way too loud and the the music wasn't loud enough. Like when Avett Brothers came on it was like the volume went from 7 to 11. I know they have more instruments but damn it was like night and day. Don't know if that was a venue issue or an Old 97's issue, but it was noticeable. And yeah overall that show was so badass. Where were you sitting?
  4. Saw Turnpike Troubadours, Avett Brothers and Old 97’s in Bonner Springs, KS over the weekend. Holy hell what a great show… 3 of my 5 or so favorite bands playing in one show was awesome. And the weather even cooperated… it was like in the mid 70s and perfect.
  5. LOL I love that clip of Barkley talking about drinking with Bird so much... "One thing you don't ever wanna do is drink beer with Larrah Burd.... Larrah Burd only drinks Buttwesah beer... it's the strongest beer in the world..."
  6. Totally. Typical Dave Filoni Star Wars show: 1. Hmm. Kind of slow but feels right. 2. Oh wow this is getting good. 3. ZOMG HOLY SHIT
  7. Yeah this is Gundy being Gundy. Of course "multiple QBs will play" because Rangle and/or Gunnar will come in for Bowman once we get a big lead against UCA. Bowman's the starter.
  8. People need to quit getting so hung up on lines of dialogue in the OT that were written before ideas were fully fleshed out and certainly not with the idea that this franchise would still be going nearly 50 (!) years later. The "only hope/no there is another" line was meant to refer to Luke's sister, but it wasn't originally Leia. Lucas' original plan was to have the sequel trilogy about Luke tracking down his long-lost sister to finally defeat the Emperor...(the Emperor was originally going to survive the first trilogy)... of course what ended up happening was Lucas was burned out by the time ROTJ was in production so he just made Leia Luke's sister and then killed off the Emperor with no intentions (at the time) to do any more movies. Obviously many, many other Jedi survived Order 66 and made it into OT era per the new canon, so it's best just to go with it.
  9. Yeah like WTF, Utah? You've been a P5 school for like 5 fucking seconds. If you hate the Big 12 so much go fuck off back to the Mountain West. FFS.
  10. Yeah that's all fair. Will certainly be fun to watch unfold up close and personal in the new Big 12.
  11. Bro, you just don't understand how edgy and tight the letter "X" is bro. It's so edgy and hot and tight and everything should be called "X", bro.
  12. JFC where did I say "he will be judged a failure?" I just said the "Coach Prime" hype stuff won't mean shit if they still suck. How is that so fucking hard to process?
  13. To be fair, I think Weeden's finger on his left hand was broken when that fumble happened... but then we went to the "shotgun" victory formation and everyone made fun of it at first but now everyone does it, lol.
  14. Yeah man I know it's such a stupid thought because everyone always gets super excited about 3-win teams. I don't give a fuck if it's "double" or "triple" of a 1-win season. It's still a football team that is 2-10 or 3-9. All of the Coach Prime hype in the world won't mean shit if they still suck.
  15. Does it? Sark's first two years weren't as successful as Herman's first two, and you could argue that Herman left Sark way more to work with than Strong left Herman. Strong had 3 straight losing seasons before Herman took over, and then he promptly went 17-10 in his first two seasons, winning the Texas bowl and Sugar Bowl. Sark went 5-7 his first year and then 8-5 last year giving him a two-season record of 13-12 with an Alamo Bowl loss. Sark may end up being great, but right now he's not even as good as what Herman did in his first two seasons, so I think the jury is still very much out.
  16. Yeah and all of that means fuck-all after he goes 2-10 or 3-9 this year.
  17. You're probably right but I was just throwing out names. It definitely seems like they are setting it up for a reveal of some sort. Honestly what it reminded me of was the reveal of the OG Tron as the main henchman in Tron: Legacy.
  18. I need to watch again, but I'm fairly certain it WAS another galaxy. I think what they are essentially looking for is a worm hole / hyperspace route to the new galaxy. In canon, the original Star Wars galaxy's hyperspace routes were mapped out using the Purgil's hyperspace migration patterns. The thing that makes the "Unknown regions" "unknown" is that they had no (or very few) Purgil migration routes and, thus, no (or very few) hyperspace routes; so it was difficult, if not impossible, to get there and then if you somehow get there difficult or impossible to get back to the "known" parts of the galaxy. So I think what the map is leading to is the "start" of a specific hyperspace route established by the Purgil to jump from the Star Wars galaxy to this other galaxy where Thrawn and Ezra presumably are hanging out.
  19. Yeah there's absolutely going to be some kind of reveal (Starkiller? Cal Kestis?) but I don't think it'll be Ezra.
  20. Haha me too. That was the infamous game where news broke the next morning that Lincoln Riley was going to USC.
  21. The good news is I don't feel like BlowU will be improved enough to make it to the CCG, but their soft schedule improves the odds quite a bit. I guess even if a Texas/OU CCG does happen the conference could save face by saying the "2024 season is the true start of the new Big12", but still not a good look no matter which angle you take. I guess. On the flip side, how's it going to look if neither OU nor Texas is able to even make the CCG for 3 consecutive seasons leading up to their entry to SECSECSEC? Finally since 2021? I mean... I hope so? Would be fun to beat them in our last game as conference mates. I would argue that Sanders always had a much stronger supporting cast around him, with NFL players at the WR and RB positions just about every time we played against you guys; I'm struggling to remember who Tech even had at WR/RB back when Bowman was starting for them. They may have had a few good guys, but not a Tylan Wallace or Chubba Hubbard or even a Jaylen Warren; regardless those were mostly bad Tech teams you'll were playing, versus some very good overall teams with Sanders at QB. I liked Spencer Sanders; he was/is obviously a talented guy but he still had some pretty bad consistency issues as a 3rd year starter and made things so much harder on himself constantly by always trying to make the big play instead of just playing within the system. I'm basing my opinions on Bowman from what I saw from him as a young guy at Tech but also what I'm hearing from people who have observed practice, including a friend of mine who is an NFL scout. (Not saying Bowman is an NFL guy - just that he's watched him up close and was very bullish on what he'll do this year). But yeah we'll see... I could be wrong... wouldn't be the first time. Yeah Gundy NEVER names a starter when it isn't obvious (like when Sanders, Rudolph, etc., were entrenched as multi-year starters) and I wouldn't expect that to change at all in the portal era.
  22. Agree with all of that… the part that I find curious is the idea that there would *ever* be a “pot o gold” at the end considering how Hollywood is notoriaously stingy about those types of things…. And also just the fact that Oher made FAR more money during his NFL career (estimated at ~$34mm) than he would ever get for any kind of rights payment or royalties from a movie studio. We’re talking maybe a couple hundred thousand at best vs his nearly $35 million in career earnings…. I’m not excusing the Tuoys at all because they do seem like they generally shady and full of shit, but the whole story, from what went down to the timing of Oher realizing it/making a big deal about it just seems… odd.
  23. Everyone is absolutely raving about Nardo, so we’ll see. The only reason question mark is at LB with Cobb leaving. The DL and secondary look like strengths. The biggest question is how quickly will they all adapt to Nardo’s system. I think the running will be drastically improved this year. For starters, we are entering the fall with a 2-deep OL for the first time in like a decade, and we are also going to apparently run more under center and work in some gap scheme vs. all zone scheme…. Plus Ollie Gordon and Jayden Nixon are a year older. I’m bullish on the run game for those reasons. I’m not sure how that makes the new Big 12 “dead on arrival” considering neither OU nor Texas has even made the CCG since they announced they were leaving and TCU was in the title game last year. I think the “new Big 12” has done quite well on the field over the past several years. That won’t change this year or in the years to come. And there’s no reason to think that any team that wins the Big 12 won’t have a legit shot at the CFP. Have you watched the past two years of CFB? Well I’d say listening to The Sports Animal was your first mistake, lol. I’d listen to the Feels like 45 podcast for any real information on OSU vs. the emphatically lazy talentless Sports Animal hosts who literally just get their information by browsing message boards.
  24. Agreed. SO many people are completely writing us off because of last year just sort of ignoring the fact that last year’s team was utterly decimated with injuries. Bowman is a huge upgrade at QB over Sanders. Yes I said it. And the WR group overall is going to be better than last year as well. The defense is also going to be better; Justin Kirkland is going to shine in the Nard Dog’s odd front. And the schedule is very favorable. 10+ wins or bust.
