  1. 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.

    I Enjoyed it. Thought it was better than BOBF and Obie. So far on par with Mandalorian. Typical Dave slow start but I am sure he is going to kick it up a notch

    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

    Yep... Multiple QBs will play

    Mike Gundy News Conference 8/24/23

    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.

    I'm assuming since Asoka left the order, her being alive doesn't destroy the OT's "He's our only hope,  no there is another" conversation between Yoda and Obi. But thinking back Yoda had to have known she was alive during the OT times. And where is Luke right now? With empire force wielding dark jedis/wannabe sith and inquisitors running around, you'd think someone within the Republic would let him know. Maybe he makes an appearance ala mando? 

    Did anyone else notice at the beginning of the first episode, when the Lucafilm logo came on screen it shimmered red, its usually green 

    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. :)

    Oh so you think he will be judged a failure after year 1 with this team's history after going 2-10 or 3-9? Yeah that is pretty fucking stupid

    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?

    I really think the OL is the key because Bowman is apparently a statue, complete opposite of Sanders with his running abilities (which as noted above also led to injuries). Everything I'm reading is that we are legit 2 deep at OL for the first time in forever. I also read that we're going under center some this year, I read it in the context of Bowman's time at Michigan where that was a big part of the offense. Not sure if they are doing it solely for Bowman or in general, but I think its not just for Bowman, as a one year major change would be odd. I remember in 2010 in one of Weeden's first games we eeked out a win against Florida Atlantic and he went under center for a kneel play and fucking fumbled it. We recovered but goddamned that could have been a fucking disaster. We've taken snaps to kneel from the shotgun every since. 

    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.

    He’s doomed if he doubles or triples last year’s win total? Lol

    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.

    Uh, don't look now, but it appears that a foundation is being built by...checks notes...Sark.

    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.

    Last December, he took over one of the worst programs (or maybe the worst) in D1 over the last 5 years. Since then,

    • Colorado season tickets were sold out in the spring BEFORE the season. The last time this happened at Colorado was, well, never! 
    • He has managed to sign or transfer over a large number of highly-recruited players to his program
    • He has changed the way people will use social media to attract talent forever 
    • He has brought in some pretty respected assistant coaches and he's smart enough to let them do what they do best.  
    • He has created a momentum that has the alums, players, and students really excited
    • Yes, he merchandises his personal brand, like many coaches do. He's just better at it.  
       

    Yeah and all of that means fuck-all after he goes 2-10 or 3-9 this year.

    Can’t see it being Cal Kestis. They won’t want Ahsoka to spoil what would be part of the storyline of a third game 

    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.

    It's wasn't another galaxy.  Pretty sure they are building a huge ship that can make it to the other galaxy.  That's why they needed the really big hyperdrives.

    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.

    That inquisitor feels like it’ll be a twist reveal about who it is later on. Could it be Ezra?

    Yeah there's absolutely going to be some kind of reveal (Starkiller? Cal Kestis?) but I don't think it'll be Ezra.

    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.

    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?

    Coming from the other side of the fence, having watched both play against my team a shit load of times, I couldn't disagree more.  We made Bowman look like a chump on a regular basis, and Sanders was always a massive thorn in our side, even the time he beat us.

    I don't know where to slot this year's Poke squad, but hearing Allan Bowman was the starter made me feel better as an opposing fan.

    It could be anecdotal to how they each played against ISU too.

    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. :)

    He’s never named a QB before opening game when there is no incumbent. What I read is that Rangel’s arm is stronger, but Bowman’s experience and accuracy are a big difference. I think he only has one year of eligibility and his knees are braced so I doubt Rangel would portal, especially since it wouldn’t get him a starting role anywhere else this late into the summer.

     

    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.

    Never read the book so I don't know how the story is told in that medium, but I have to laugh at folks treating the movie like a Gibney documentary.  The Blind Side movie did not make $300 million because it was the true and accurate feel-good story of Micheal Oher and the Tuoy family. It made $300 million because it was a Sandra Bullock vehicle with all of the obvious trappings of a vanity project. Pure Hollywood schlock with the stock dumbed-down athlete, the suspiciously glamorous white savior protagonist, the precocious kid with the timing of a 1950's borscht comic, and a plot that views reality as a vague suggestion. As others have shown on this thread, Oher knew from the beginning it was all a big fraudulent show. This baseless money grab would seem to suggest he's finally come to the realization he was just a minor player in the whole thing and there was no pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow.

    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.

    Not sold defense will be better in 2023.  And will okie lite be able to run the ball well enough to help Bowman succeed??

     

     

    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.

    Charmin soft schedule means they could actually backdoor into the CCG.

    Of course if anyone gets in the playoffs from the Rig12 this year it will be us...if the league will allow such a thing. Can you imagine a CCG between us and blowU with the horns winning and going to the playoffs? The "new Big12" will be dead on arrival if that happens...and it should.

    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?

    We’re gonna win 10 games. We always play well when we’re expected to suck. It’s science.

    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.

    Not sure where the confidence vs Colorado State is coming from.  Jay Norvell was in his 1st year there, but he brought in a bunch of Nevada players from their 8 win 2021 team, as well as flipping a bunch of recruits, so he's got a solid base of players already.  He also took Nevada from 3 wins to 8 in season 2.  #2 recruiting class in the MWC w/ 31 commits.  I'd bet they're a bowl team this year.

    I don’t have any confidence that they will win any games. I was just trying to pick out games they stand a chance in. 

    I think 1-11 is just as probable as 3-9 or 4-10.

    They have two gimmes on their schedule - Colorado State and Stanford. The Pac 12 isn't a disaster this season. It might be the best conference from top to bottom in the country. 

    Well I don't know about that last comment; I think the Big 12 might actually be that, but yeah... looking at CU's schedule:

    at TCU (loss)

    vs. Nebraska (loss)

    vs. Colorado State (I can haz win?)

    at Oregon (loss)

    vs. USC (loss)

    at Arizona State (loss...probably)

    vs. Stanford (I can haz win?)

    at UCLA (loss)

    vs. Oregon State (loss)

    vs. Arizona (I can haz win?)

    at Washington State (loss)

    at Utah (loss)

    So yeah - the absolute best case for them is probably 3-9 with wins over CSU, Stanford and Arizona.  If literally everything works out great for them I could see them maybe knocking off Arizona State for a 4th win?

    Wait, this ugly bitch was the one portrayed by Sandra Bullock, apparently as a total milf? Yeah, totally believable, lol. If I'm ever portrayed on film, I guess it should be Ryan Gossling, just give him black hair and darker skin, lol.

    She looks like an amalgam of every middle-aged basic bitch from every suburb in the South. 

    1000% there's every stupid "EAT PRAY LOVE", "GATHER", "HOME", etc., in their house along with a wall covered with about 100 stupid silver crosses.
