  1. Yes but it's actually not great from a "fan comfort" standpoint, unless you are in the Club Seats or the west end zone. The older lower-level seating is VERY cramped and uncomfortable. And unless you are sitting very close to the aisles, it can be very difficult to actually access your seats. That's what this renovation is primarily addressing.
  2. Yep. Although I have mixed feelings about reducing capacity. Like it or not, attendance/capacity is one of the factors looked at for programs that are going to sit at the CFB "big boy" table. We can easily support 60k, so I wish our capacity was closer to that, but I do get that the stadium, as it is, is not a very comfortable place to sit when it's packed.
  3. LOL I always get nervous when this thread is bumped. Glad to see it was good news.
  4. Yes. Grumpy/surly Kareem is awesome, especially contrasting with the infectious overbearing positivity of Magic. Another great episode last night. And I loved the basketball theory stuff with Jack McKinney. The on-court stuff also looked good to me. Was it as good as actual NBA play? No; but it was good enough for the show that it wasn't a distraction.
  5. I think OU and West Virginia are capable. So I'm not sure the drop-off is massive there, even though the top 4 are clearly better. But yeah Baylor, K-State and Kansas range from "meh" to bad.
  6. 11 straight wins for my Pokes. Now sitting at 18-6. We have a mid-week non-conference game against OUsux in Tulsa this week. Should be fun to smack them around again.
  7. Yeah I'm 100% fine with not showing the basketball. We know how that turns out. The behind-the-scenes stuff of how it all came together is more interesting to me. But if I recall from the trailers, we will be seeing some basketball. "Larry Bird" is in the cast list also. So we'll definitely see some.
  8. LOL this. I'm sure we'll lose our mid-week game to them, as per the norm.
  9. LOL I thought the same thing. "He had this comb-over that was quite... elaborate..."
  10. FYI our game vs. ORU has been moved to tomorrow (3/23) due to weather in Tulsa.
  11. Yeah I had a weird memory like we played them in the Regionals or Super Regionals a few years ago, but I think I was thinking of St. John's. We played them in the Fayetteville Regional a few years ago.
  12. Thought of a few more - the first three Foo Fighters albums: Self-titled, The Colour and the Shape, There's Nothing Left to Lose Also - Stone Temple Pilots - Core, Purple, Tiny Music Another one where they have made 4 great albums, so really you just need to decide if you start with #1 or #2 - Turnpike Troubadours. Tough call because so many great songs are on their debut, but I'd go with: Goodbye Normal Street, The Turnpike Troubadours, A Long Way from Your Heart
  13. Wilco - You could probably pick any combination of their first 5 albums. I'll go with: Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost is Born Old 97s - Wreck Your Life, Too Far to Care, Fight Songs Spoon - To be fair, they've made 9 consecutive great albums, but if I were to pick three, I'd go: Kill the Moonlight, Gimmie Fiction, Ga x5 Vampire Weekend - I think all 4 of their albums are great, so really the question is start with their debut or Contra? I'd probably do the latter, so: Contra, Modern Vampires of the City, Father of the Bride
  14. I don't believe we are getting past season 1 at all. I read somewhere (Variety maybe?) that this show only covers the 1979-80 season. I think the idea is that we all know how it turns out, but this series shows how all of the pieces were put into place.
  15. OSU completed the sweep of Seton Hall. Now have won 7 straight. And man, I was just looking at Seton Hall’s record they are 1-16 now. Like holy shit. It seems like it would actually be difficult to have a record like that in baseball. I have a memory that Seton Hall had a decent program, but maybe I’m thinking of something else? They’ve played a tough schedule, but still. Oddly enough, their only win is against Florida in Gainesville.
  16. You feel that “women and children first”, in this day and age, is a bit of an antiquated notion….
  17. OSU beat Seton Hall again for our 6th straight win. We have one more against Seton Hall tomorrow.
  18. Did he say ‘man’ a lot…?
  19. This. As for those estimates above, I'd love to understand what is driving the PAC to go from the lowest P5 payout in 2022-23 to the third highest after the SEC/B1G by 2029. Are the PAC schools going to get *more* engaged in CFB over the next decade? The new Big 12 will easily keep par with the PAC and ACC, and probably exceed the PAC just based on viewership/fan engagement down the road.
  20. Yep. I'm also very much looking forward to more stuff with surly/grumpy Kareem.
  21. LOL that killed me. Another great episode last night. Loved all of the stuff with Buss and Red Auerbach. Reiley continues to kill it.
  22. Agreed on both counts. Broadcast News is one of the top 10 favorite films of all time. The amazing thing is that it basically predicted where we were going with "newswertainment" in the mid/late 80s. And yeah he was fantastic as Hank Paulson in Too Big to Fail. "The Big Short" and "Too Big to Fail" make a great double feature. The cool thing is that, in terms of the timeline, Too Big to Fail picks up almost exactly where The Big Short leaves off. And also agreed that The Big Chill is great. I always loved his timing/delivery of this line when he's in the car with Mary Kay Place leaving the funeral: MKP: "The last time I spoke with Alex, we had an argument..." WH: ....[beat]... "That's probably why he killed himself."
  23. Oh don't worry. We can still blame Kathleen Kennedy for any parts of the Obi-Wan series that we don't like.
