  1. There’s a whole article in The Athletic. It’s nothing special. But they did an article because it’s odd. Temple was pretty good when they did it. OU also got a 2 for 1 and didn’t have to pay to play a subdivision team so saved some cash. We don’t have billionaire money. Here’s a part of the article. Temple football had just ripped off the first of two consecutive 10-win seasons under coach Matt Rhule, and the school’s athletic department leadership was thinking big. The time was right to start pushing for a football stadium for the Owls, who were — and still are — playing their home games at Lincoln Financial Field, the 67,594-seat home of the Philadelphia Eagles. Then-athletic director Pat Kraft gave chief of staff Sean Padden an assignment: Find a blue blood, a traditional power, one of those programs with easily recognizable helmets, to agree to play a road game against Temple so they could tell school and city officials, “If you build it, they will come.” “I called all over the place,” said Padden, who now works for Rhule at Nebraska. “I called USC. I called UCLA. I called Alabama. I called Florida. The guy from Florida, I can’t remember who it was, but he was the only one that was most honest with me. He was like, ‘Sean, you just won 10 games. I don’t know what’s going on up there.’” Padden found an enthusiastic taker in Oklahoma, fresh off the first of four College Football Playoff appearances in five years as Big 12 champions, and in June of 2016 the schools announced a “two-for-one” series: The Owls would open the 2024 and 2028 seasons in Norman, and the Sooners would play in the City of Brotherly Love on Sept. 13, 2025.
  2. That hits different coming from a tech fan. And I was born in Lubbock. And still admit it.
  3. Prob a few years off but amazing OU may be able to compete w Texas. I honestly didn’t see that coming. Already became Nebraska according to some ‘well written content’. Jokes aside, every SEC opponent is ranked so ceiling isn’t that high imo.
  4. Yep. Agreed there. Problems won’t be solved arguing on the net w morons. Need to fundraise and get better candidates. In the meantime I’ll lambaste morons and it will make me feel better. Not claiming anything groundbreaking here…
  5. Oh for sure. If I was debating someone serious. I don’t see many of those in MAGA land. They gaslight 24/7. In those instances you gotta fight fire with fire. Kirk was trash. He got what he asked for. Million quotes on some people gotta die for blah blah…at least he went down doing what he loved. He’s lucky in that sense. Also I can guarantee you it was fairly painless.
  6. classy: Yeah I have so many ‘favorites’ to chose from… “Black women do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.” Or maybe “Gun control, like vaccines and masks, is focused on making people feel ‘safe’ by taking freedoms away from others.” Or how he doesn’t believe in retirement, or his hypothetical 10yo daughter would carry the rapists baby, or he doesn’t trust black pilots, or comparing trans folks to wearing blackface, maybe how democrats women want to die alone.
  7. I would not have thought this until I saw the reaction from the far right pundits... 'see we told you, this is a war!'. Definitely made me think twice...
  8. Instead of posting incendiary bullshit, why won’t you join me in prayer? Seriously. Be better.
  9. If by celebrating, he means praying, then yes, I’m celebrating.
  10. Sometimes they do. This guy dead likely saves many other lives. Just look at their policy.
  11. At 10 years old I was finally against trickle down. I had moved on to free shit. Namely fun dip and legos along with highly subsidized trips to Chuck E. Cheese.
  12. Yep. Sadly too many Dems like this. Whatever. Still will vote that way but acting like Bush and Reagan are essentially Trump? Lol
  13. See above. GTFO if you think Reagan would do even 10% of Trump’s BS - even if he was given the chance that’s a hell no.
  14. Comparing Reagan to Trump just legitimizes all the bullshit Trump is doing as 'politics', it's not. Be better.
  15. The problem is congress is full of those types you describe. I mean they need more far left or whatever you want to call them - the ones that are actually passionate about this hostile takeover of our govt. Say what you want about MTG - and I certainly have - but at least she really believes in her batshit crazy policies.
  16. Damn. This hits hard.
  17. We are ready in Chicago. Obviously not happy about any of this but we are definitely organizing and fighting vs crying.
  18. Really? Poor white folks that I’ve seen all over are treated quite a fucking bit better.
  19. Let’s see I got the bears, cowboys and dolphins. Woof
  20. True but I’d be willing to bet Gundy is toast. Bill did lose 55-0 to OU in Bill Snyder family stadium so yes, it happens ha
  21. Better than whatever Gundy is doing. I don’t think he would be top 10 but he would likely stay within 65 of just about anybody. Oof
  22. They’re good to wear to work meetings etc. But fuck them for kissing Trump’s ass. Will not buy anymore for the foreseeable future. Can dump ones I have at a nice profit. Clowns
