  1. I'm almost certain that Cincy and UCF weren't added as "recruiting" plays, they were added as "market" plays. TV is driving the bus on this whole thing, after all. As wild as this seems given our horrid start, OSU will be sitting in a very nice position if we win in Morgantown this weekend. After that, Bedlam at home is our only game against the top half of the conference - all the rest are against the new guys.
  2. As the season moves along that three-QB rotation AND RB rotation in the non-conference is going to piss me off more and more. I don’t think there’s any question that we would be 5-0 at this point if he just names Bowman the starter from day 1 and runs Gordon out there 50-60% of the time at a bare minimum. If he wanted to do the rotation thing for show he should have ended it after the first game. Get fucking serious and run Bowman out there after that to let him build up reps/rapport with the rest of the offense. Once he finally got to do that look what fucking happened. I get wanting to not burn Gordon out but he had four fucking carries against South Alabama. He’s clearly and obviously the most talented player on offense, FFS.
  3. That game felt so much like an OSU-Texas Tech game from around 2007-09 or so. Both teams getting like 9 yards per play all day…. The only way we would get stops is getting an INT or a fumble or something. Fun game but stressful AF. Kansas is NOT fun to play against… that offense is something. The get two weeks to prepare for OU in Lawrence now. Would love to see them carve up Venables. You know they’re gonna throw the kitchen sink at them.
  4. Yeah I listed them out up thread a bit. In 2020 it was our 3rd to last game; but then it was the last game again in 2021 (when we beat them in the last Caleb Williams/Lincoln Riley game) and then last year it was back to the 2nd to last game again.
  5. I learned long ago that our particular orange is just (for whatever reason) one of those colors that can look almost totally different in different lighting conditions, whether or not you are watching live or on TV, hell it even looks different from network to network. Plus two different people can look at it and see something different. I don’t know why.
  6. Thanks for the kind words, guys. I really do appreciate it. I found ShaggyBevo more than 10 years ago… I think it was during the 2010 season… around the time of the legendary “Co-op statues” thread. It quickly became my favorite ever sports/pop culture/food/everything message board and slowly became the only one I ever post on. I love all of you of assholes.
  7. There have been earlier ones, I just didn't go back that far. We actually played them in October once or twice back in the Les Miles days. There were some others that were off-and-on early like that even going back to the Big 8 days. I'd say like 90% of the time it's been the last game of the year, but then it's bounced around in various times in November (mostly) for the other 10% of the time with a few other outliers in late October.
  8. So I'm almost a week late on this, but I have to say... I'm very pleased with how we have "standardized" our uniform look this year. So much better than a bunch of wacky combinations that would be sometimes good and sometimes meh.
  9. They've moved that game around off-and-on over the years. It's typically been the last game of the season for us, but not always. We actually also played on Nov. 4 back in 2017... it was also on Nov. 10 in 2018, and was our second-to-last game last year and was like our 3rd-to-last game in 2020. So yeah - mostly the last game of the season, but not always.
  10. Yeah I mean Big 12 After Dark is going to be the new Pac 12 After Dark. We all just better get used to a handful of late kickoffs every year.
  11. On the first point, it seems pretty clear to me - Ashoka was traumatized by finding out that Anakin had become Vader ... so much so that she didn't trust herself to either train Sabine or get involved in the Galactic Civil War for fear of losing either her apprentice (or herself) to the Dark Side. That's pretty much was her character arc was about in first half of this series prior to her spiritual awakening in her World Between Words meeting with Force ghost/Force memory Anakin when she became "Ashoka the White." The Palpatine returning stuff may or may not be related to Nightsister magic but the cargo is almost certainly corpses of dead Stormtroopers that will be re-animated by the Nightsisters on Dathomir.
  12. Awesome. I haven't seen QoTSA since the "Like Clockwork" tour. They kick so much ass. I need to see them again soon. They are playing OKC on this tour but not Tulsa. Boo.
  13. This is a preference thing. Mando leans heavily into the "Western" influence of Star Wars (John Ford movies,etc.), while Ashoka leans heavily into the "fantasy" references/elements (Lord of the Rings, Dune, etc.) of Star Wars. It's fine if you prefer the former, but it doesn't mean the latter is "bad" for those of us who enjoy that aspect of the show. For a "bad" example of the latter, see the Obi-wan show. For that matter, for a "bad" version of the former, see Book of Boba Fett. In fact, I think it's pretty awesome that we can get three distinct types of Star Wars, and they all kick fucking ass when done well: Western / samurai adventure stuff (Faverau) Fantasy / Space Wizard stuff (Filoni) Gritty / real / political stuff (Gilroy)
  14. It’s a loooooooong Star Wars tradition that Force powers are used as the plot dictates. Best just to understand that and go with it.
  15. Seriously? I thought he'd been sober since he did rehab after the AGIB sessions...?
  16. YES! I was standing just in front of and to the right of "gold jacket" guy.
  17. Oh is the “South Side Ballroom” the old Palladium? I saw Wilco there in like 2009 or something.
  18. Also Huyang knows a thing or two about building lightsabers, so there’s that.
  19. Yes the repulsorlifts are mounted internally - I imagine around or near (or even part of?) the hyperdrive since it's part of the same technology. And I've never thought about it but I guess the analogy I would make is like a blimp. The chamber filled with helium lifts the blimp off the ground, but forward propulsion requires the use of propellers. So the repulsorlifts are like the helium chamber and the ion engines are like the propellers. As for the "toy on a wire" thing I imagine the idea is that they can some what control the amount of "buoyancy" provided and/or the power of the ion engines and maneuvering thrusters easily overcomes the anti-gravity effects. And I'm sure the idea is that it's not unlike fly-by-wire systems in modern aircraft where powerful computers can monitor and adjust how all of the various systems work together to achieve the desired result. That's the best I've got. I'm sure some nerds in the corners of the Star Wars internet have a better explanation.
  20. Looks like an awesome show. And yeah Nels on Impossible Germany is hard to beat. At the Tulsa show the other night, it wasn't on the set list originally and they added it, which was awesome. I've never really got why bands do that but was so glad they did. It's like they just chatted for a sec and then Tweedy goes, "we weren't originally going to play this tonight but now we are..." In terms of meeting the guys, my CSB is about 5 years ago Wilco played at the Brady Theater in Tulsa - I think it's literally the only time they played here that wasn't at Cain's.... anyway there's this craft cocktail bar right down the street from it called Valkyrie. Me and a buddy of mine were having a drink there after the show and Pat Sansone just walks in and sits down at the bar. And clearly nobody else in that bar had any idea who he was so I walked up and just started chatting him up for a few minutes. The dude could have have been any nicer or cooler.
  21. Ha same.. my explanation was based on reading these back in the day.
  22. In the Star Wars universe, pretty much all crafts are equipped with technology called “repulsolift.” It’s essentially anti-gravity technology that is a derivative of hyperspace technology. There are very small versions (think land speeders or speeder bikes that just hover right about the ground as they go) or very large ones in, say, an Imperial Star Destroyer. They are used to enable crafts to “hover” in atmosphere and also to counteract high g-force acceleration forces in starfigheters in combat situations. The “inverse” technology of the repulsolift is the technology that can create a localized gravity well to basically have gravity on large ships while in space. Very large versions of this technology is also used in Interdictor-class Star Destroyers that can literally pull ships out of hyperspace and/or not allow ships within a localized area to jump to hyperspace. Yes I’m a huge fucking nerd.
  23. Fuck yeah. Chooper is absolutely a sociopath who only thinks of murder all day long. I love him so much.
  24. That’s an interesting perspective on Kidsmoke. That wouldn’t be my impression at all… like you said it’s like a 10–minute long krautrock freak out…. I figured it’s the kind of song that ONLY hard-core fans love. Even on AGIB (which is one of their least “accessible” albums for non-fans, IMO) there’s way more “mainstream” sounding songs to my ears, like Hummingbird or The Late Greats or Theologians. And yeah I’m with you in terms of top bands… they’re in my top 3 as well. I couldn’t put a number on how many times I’ve seen them… definitely 10+ times, plus I’ve seen Tweedy solo another 3-4 times. But yeah Old 97’s/Rhett are definitely my “most seen live” act as well. God knows how many times I’ve seen them in the past 30 years… a lot. Basically every time they’ve been in Tulsa, plus shows in Dallas, Austin, KC, Red Rocks, and so on. Enjoy the show! And yeah definitely be sure and give “Cousin” and “Evicted” a listen because I’m sure they’ll play those. Both good tracks.
  25. LOL that was awesome. You just know that little psychopath was all, “HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER???”
