We were 10-6 (.625) before Gundy. Pretty small sample size because we made only a handful of appearances between the 40's and 2000s, but we've done pretty good when we get there. Bowl record is such a dumb statistic though because it really has no bearing on how good your program is, especially by today's standard where 6-6 gets you into some no-name corporate sponsor bowl. A team with a .500 bowl record consisting of several BCS/NY6 bowls is doing better than a program with a .750 bowl record consisting mostly of Fart of Dallas and Beef o' Brady bowls.
Right but it's all relative. If you are playing in a lower-level bowl you are generally playing against an evenly matched team. I think it's still a credit to Gundy that he pretty much always gets his teams ready to play. Somebody still has to lose those games and a lot of teams don't come out focused in bowl games. We pretty much always do.
About the only times we haven't performed well in bowl games under him were when the teams were ravaged with injuries ('08, '09) or we happened to get matched up against the best team money could buy (that Ole Miss team in '15).
We still played well in the game against Mizzou, which was basically a toss-up game.
The loss to Eli in the Cotton Bowl was Les Miles, not Gundy. But we played well in that game as well. IIRC, Josh Fields actually threw for more yards than Eli and set a Cotton Bowl passing record. (Not sure if it still stands, but it was a record at the time.)

Oklahoma State is one of the all time best winning % in bowl games..!
Yeah most of that is Gundy. He's 8-4 (.667) in bowl games as a head coach.

Just looked up my birthday since I didn't put it in my original post. "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" by John Lennon. Not bad. It's Lennon, but not one of my favorites of his solo stuff.

Seriously with the vertical video? Mind bottling.
Also mind bottling: doing a test of the big shiny new video board in the football stadium with...... basketball highlights?
I know it doesn't make much of a difference... just thought it was funny.

One thing I'm wondering.... when Jimmy and Kim leave the site of Chuck's house, the camera lingers on a shot of the burned down house with a park bench/bus stop bench in the foreground. I was wondering if we saw that same park bench before... maybe across from an empty lot or something in BB...maybe with a Saul advertisement on it or something? Anyone catch that?
I was remembering the scene where Badger is sitting on a bench and an undercover cop busts him for selling, but it seems like that was in a much more urban area, not in a residential area. Plus I think that might have been the first episode w/ Saul. Seems like I remember him being with Badger in the jail or something. Too lazy to look it up.
-
Chuck was an arrogant, narcissistic, unlikable prick...... but he was, of course, right about Jimmy all along.
I liked the first episode a lot. The cold open was some fabulous filmmaking. The rest of the episode was a typical first episode of a season, setting up various arcs.

Ha... the #1 song on my 14th birthday was "Wild Wild West" by Escape Club. Not bad considering the myriad of potentially terrible songs in 1988. I'll take it.
EDIT - I just checked my siblings... my brother (2 years younger) was "Ice Ice Baby"... LOL... my sister (7 years younger, no pics) was "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey.
I definitely win.

Yeah most of mine have been mentioned, but I'll go ahead and throw in.
U2 - great example. Fantastic through Achtung Baby. Very meh after. And it didn't help that Bono sort of became a caricature.
Coldplay - definitely one of those bands that it became "cool" to hate. But their first two albums are fantastic. I'll still give them a spin every now and then.
Dave Matthew Band - another one similar to everyone else. I will always love their first two albums... not really sure if it's because they are really good, but more because they came out when I was a sophomore and senior in college, respectively. It's hard to separate the music from the nostalgia of college. I still listened to them somewhat through maybe the early 2000s, but just lost interest at some point.
The Doors - he he... I think everyone went through a "Doors stage" at some point. But then I realized that I'm not really that into gibberish lyrics and 9-minute organ solos.

Really enjoyed the finale. Stayed riveted the whole episode.
- Man, did Tom ever step up.
- I didn't feel the least bit sentimental about the ending, and i cry all the time watching movies and TV. I didn't think for a second, Logan's motivations at the end were anything more than self serving and saving his company.
- Roman is such a joke that i find it difficult to imagine anyone trusting him with anything of any importance. I wish the writers could keep the snark, but at least make his involvement in the family business a bit more plausible.
- Conner's President thing was kind of silly., I didn't really see the point in it.
- The Shiv/Tom scene in the bedroom was extremely well written.
- Kendall's long walk to deliver the bear hug letter was really well done.
Pretty much agree with all of this. Thought the finale was really well done. The only thing that I also didn't like was Conner's President thing. They should have left it alone after his hilarious interaction with the Bernie Sanders guy when he thought he "took him down in a debate" or whatever. We get it. Conner is a buffoon. Him walking around telling people he decided he wants to be president was a little much.
As for the Boardroom stuff... I'm with you guys in that a lot of it is completely ludicrous, but I think the idea is that (1) Logan is the type of guy who would completely ignore proper corporate governance and do whatever the hell he wants because it's "his company" (even though it is publicly traded company) and (2) there are very few people in general who would know/understand that a lot of the stuff is wrong so they let it go in the name of amping up the drama.

The University of Oklahoma State huh?
For some reason that reminded me of "I go to... the University of the United States..."

Maybe. They were almost as good as ISU that year.
You're right. If we would have played Bama on the road at night the same day that one of our basketball coaches died in plane crash I imagine we probably would have lost to them as well.
But had we played them in early January in a bowl game I would have liked our chances.

Huge fan of Alan Ruck.
Of course he will always be known as Cameron, but he also put in some solid work on Spin City back in the day, as well as bit parts in Twister and Speed.
LET MY CAMERON GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........

I know very little about college softball. What I do know is the SEC is good at it. And it looks like our coach came from an SEC school and he's trying to scoop up all the SEC transfers he can get. Sounds like a solid plan to me.
OU is really good, too. And the softball CWS is in OKC. That is the extent of my knowledge of college softball.

On a related note, I guess there's a new Apollo 11 documentary coming out... looks like maybe they've cleaned up/restored old film footage or something. Super excited about this as well.

I don't even really work here.
EDIT - Dang. Lobo beat me to the response. Here's Kramer eating crackers instead.

You know it doesn't make a great standalone quote, but one of my all-time favorite Kramer lines is when he gives Jerry the "Fusili Jerry"....
JERRY: "When did you make this?"
KRAMER: "In my spare time."
Freaking gets me every time.

This was a gutshot, but they did you a favor. You would have been mauled in the MNC game by Bama in front of a national audience.
Well, that's just like, your opinion man.
But anyway like others said, we would have played LSU, not Bama. And I firmly believe we would have easily beaten them.
Remember we beat Stanford w/ Andrew Luck in the Fiesta Bowl. Stanford was alleged to have a really good defense and we ran up and down the field on them. And of course their offense was about 10,000x better than the dog shit offense LSU was running out there. LSU was basically Stanford with a little bit better defense and MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse offense.
I honestly think we would have beaten Bama as well, although it would have been closer than LSU.

I like Iowa State fans, both on the Internets and in real life.
OTOH, I don't think I'll ever, ever, ever, ever, ever get over this:
Of course, we've really been trying to make up for it over the past several years by spotting Iowa State huge leads in games only to come back and tear their hearts out in the 4th quarter.
But that will likely never make up for OSU's best chance to win a national title in football in my lifetime. [SIGH]

The amount of posts people have spent complaining about the color of the jerseys when it hasn't actually changed is pretty astounding.
Right up there with the annual "wow *insert strength and conditioning coach* is really great. Look how jacked the players are" posts because guys have biceps and deltoids.
Same thing happens with OSU people. People constantly complain about "all the different shades" even though the same Pantone color is used on everything.
I really think there is something about the color orange that can make different shades look significantly different in different types of light, when used on different materials, etc.
As to the second point, totally agree. One of the latest trends that's annoying AF is people posting and re-posting videos of players doing workouts on social media. It's like, "ZOMG! So-in-so can dead lift eleventy thousand pounds! We're definitely winning the CFP this year!!!" STFU

So I've been hearing good things about this and will likely go see it in the theater. I've generally enjoyed all of the MI movies but never saw the last one... do I need to see it before this one?

Agreed. Namath version is 100x better.
There were some good unis in the 80s (Pats, Broncos, Dolphins, etc.), but the Jets was not one of them. They made a good move going back to the classic look.
Now if only the Broncos, Pats and Eagles would ditch the late 90s/early 2000s "muted color" look and go back to their classic look...
This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.

Yeah it was super fun game to be at, even though we lost.
It was crazy hot for Jan. 2 or whatever day it was on that year. I don't recall how how it was exactly, but I remember sweating my ass off in the stands.
