I will and you can’t stop me.

LOL that’s adorable. Those of us who have been watching OSU for decades know better. I’m actually more nervous now.

Conceivably

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.

Agreed. But it’s the only logical explanation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yeah them reading and laughing at the tabloids was great.

It's SO goddamn frustrating.

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.

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.

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.

Slowly making my way through this thing in between taking care of my 9-month-old and I'm loving every minute of it. I think I'm about half way through Episode 2. The George leaving stuff was absolutely fascinating. The bit when Peter Sellers showed up and John was clearly high AF on something (heroin?) was interesting. I loved how visibly uncomfortable Paul was as John was talking about getting high and he finally cuts him off with, "Do we want to be talking about that in public, Mr. Lennon?" LOL

I said this earlier in the thread, but how is Greg any more of a "leech" than Ken, Roman or Shiv? It's not like he's an "outsider." He's a direct relative. He's Logan's nephew. What's the difference? They are ALL using their position as a member of Logan's direct family to their advantage. Would ANY of them have the positions they have if not for Logan? Fuck no. I'm not sure I'd call Tom a "loser." He is obviously very insecure, but I think what the show has revealed about Tom is that he always THOUGHT he was the type of person who could succeed given access to the Roy family; but what he's discovering is that, unlike pretty much everyone in the Roy family, he actually has a moral compass that is creating massive cognitive dissonance as he tries to navigate life/work in the family.

Oh shit yeah I forgot about Colorado. They were bad at Folsom for sure. Mizzou fans in Columbia were also surprisingly bad.

Same. I mean, I’m glad we beat Texas, but I don’t really care that much about the “implosion.” (I’d honestly prefer Texas NOT imploded this year so that our win in Austin was more valuable given where we are sitting right now.) The OU meltdown directly coinciding with us playing for the Big 12 title and having a shot at the CFP, however? Inject that shit directly into my veins.

Upper Midwest, baby. The warmer the climate, the hotter the trim, and vice versa.

I mean... I was actually taken aback how shitty they were. I've had awesome times with fans from SECSECSEC, the PAC, ACC... pretty much all over the country. I think my first clue that things may not go well was we had set up our tailgate outside the Alamo Dome pretty early that day... we had our music going and booze flowing... we tried to wave over the first group of Ohio State fans we saw walking nearby and they promptly flipped us off and kept walking. We were all like, WTF?!?!?!?!

If you haven't watched yet, I'd highly recommend watching Gundy's press conference from Monday. He talks at length about his vision for the program and also his relationship with the new president and AD, being VERY positive on the latter. I've never heard him talk this candidly on either of the topics in the past. It's pretty interesting. I mean, anything is possible these days, but this is as relaxed and content as I've ever seen Gundy. He wasn't even like this in 2011.

I've been to many bowl games and interacted with fans from all over the country. The worst experience I've had BY FAR was the 2004 Alamo Bowl when we played Ohio State. They were the biggest bunch of fucking pricks I've ever interacted with. I mean, I get OU fans being fucking douchenozzles because we are their rival non-rival, but typically bowl game experiences with other fans are really fun because it's teams/fan bases you don't typically interact with and everyone is there to have a good time. However, those fucksticks were just straight-up ass. Just the worst.
