  1. Yeah I don't think Ken is dead. It wouldn't surprise me if he died at *some point* in the show, but an ambiguous death scene in the penultimate episode of season 3 doesn't feel like something this show would do.
  2. Yeah I'm in the camp of it's a bullshit move that shouldn't be legal. To me the slide is no different than a fair catch. You are signaling to the defense that you are forfeiting your ability to advance the ball in exchange for not being hit/tackled. You can't fake a fair catch and then return it. You shouldn't be able to fake a slide either.
  3. Yeah and as Beato pointed out... ALL of that was before any of them were 30. That's completely and utterly insane.
  4. Yep. Someone posted the timeline upthread, but yeah... they recorded Abbey Road primarily in the summer of 1969 after the Get Back sessions in January. Then it was released in September of '69. Then they finally released Let it Be in May of 1970, a good 15 months or so after the Get Back sessions.
  5. Also - it was super interesting to me to hear how many songs off Abbey Road were worked on, or at least started, during the Get Back sessions. I think we heard them working on damn near the whole album. Off the top of my head, pretty sure we at least heard parts of: Something Maxwell’s Silver Hammer Octopuss’s Garden Oh Darling You Never Give Me Your Money She Came in Through the Bathroom Window Polythene Pam Carry That Weight Her Majesty
  6. I always kind of considered Rubber Soul the inflection point between “early Beatles” and “later Beatles.” My vinyl collection starts at Rubber Soul. I prefer the later stuff, but I do like the early stuff and understand why it was so popular.
  7. BYU also probably better. The PAC 12 and ACC are mostly dogshit. The new Big 12 will be just fine.
  8. LOL that’s adorable. Those of us who have been watching OSU for decades know better. I’m actually more nervous now.
  9. OSU playing in the Big 12 championship as the favorite with a trip to the CFP Playoff on the line? Nothing could possibly go wrong. Yes I’m already drinking.
  10. Agreed. But it’s the only logical explanation.
  11. Most of my favorites have been mentioned. But unless I missed it, has anyone mentioned SPY GAME? Fucking love that movie. Also, don’t know if it counts as a “Cold War” movie, per se, but thinking about Spy Game also reminded me of SNEAKERS, which is also fantastic.
  12. Bowlsby missed a prime opportunity to dig Riley for avoiding SECSECSEC. ”I mean, I guess it seems like not everyone at OU was on board with the move to the SEC” would have been gold.
  13. Yeah agreed that this documentary just confirms everything I’ve ever thought about Yoko. She must have been just an absolutely positively dynamite in the sack. It’s the only explanation for John being completely infatuated with her stupid annoying ass.
  14. I would be legit concerned about this if I were a USC fan. I know they are all excited about Riley because of his success at OU, but I wonder how many of them realize that Stoops basically handed him the keys to a Ferrari with the engine running? Riley is obviously a great OC, but he’s never had to build a program. That doesn’t mean that he can’t… he just never has. Will be interesting to see how things unfold down there, especially if they have a rough few years before all of this 5-star talent can take hold.
  15. Finished Part 2 last night. My new favorite part of the documentary is when Billy Preston comes in to play keyboards. The look of joy on his face when John was like, “you’ll be on the record”… and then when he was playing was just so fun to watch. Gonna settle in tonight for Part 3. BartScott.gif
  16. Agreed. The most devastating loss in the Mike Gundy era is, without question, 2013 Bedlam. We were the far better team, playing at home and a win would have give us our second Big 12 title in three years. Instead we let Baylor get the back door title after we pushed their shit in the week before. I’m not sure a loss on Saturday would be that level of devastating, but it would be close. I think if we keep our shit together and play a clean game, we should win handily. If we go out, fuck around with a bunch of penalties, special teams blunders or hand them the ball 3 times like we did earlier in the year, it’ll be very close and my butthole will be tighter than a snare drum.
  17. I'm very likely stupidly overconfident about this game. We easily beat them earlier in the year with -3 turnover margin. Our defense is going to murder their souls whether they play hobbled QB1 or freshman QB2. And Sanders won't hand them the ball 3 times. We roll.
  18. Yeah them reading and laughing at the tabloids was great.
  19. The Jordan analogy is pretty apt. Jordan had all of the natural ability in the world, but what set him apart was the fact that in a league full of ultra-competitive people, he was the most competitive by a factor of 100. Paul obviously is an amazing natural musician, but he was also always driven just to do more, more, more and push boundaries, evolve... or, as he put it, "accomplish something every day." On a different note, one of the most enjoyable things in the documentary is just watching Paul and John goof around together. I feel like so much of the "narrative" of this point in the Beatles career is that they were was all of this animosity going in different directions... and there was obviously some of that... but these guys were also lifelong friends and I think so much of that was overblown. You can really see it when the two of them are just playing music together, fucking around, laughing at each other's cheesy jokes, etc. So fun to see that.
  20. I've been both places. There's an exception for urban/rural divide. Obviously there is hotter trim in Toronto or Vancouver than fucking Little Rock, Arkansas. But I will stand by my original statement that, as a rule, there is hotter trim in warmer climates.
  21. The other thing that was interesting was that you could really see how Paul was just DRIVEN. Some people may not like it... calling it over-ambitious or something, but it just seems to me like Paul really approached The Beatles like it was his job and he wanted to do the best possible job. I think he said something to John along the lines of, "We need to accomplish something every day," and John was like, "Um that's a tall order" (or something like that). Paul's commitment to the work really reminded me in the Eagle documentary when Glenn Frey was talking about how he learned the making music is about "doing the work" when he heard Jackson Browne just working on "Doctor my Eyes" all day long.
