  1. Kyler Murray got drafted. He’s only 12 lbs heavier and probably 4 inches shorter than Quinn. (I don’t trust that 5’10” number for Kyler, at all)
  2. A one loss, Big 12 champion Texas gets in the playoff no matter what OU does. Therefore, I hope OU never wins another game this season.
  3. I loved having those guys on the crew. It was job security when it came time to cut the fat. Will they keep the old curmudgeon who was over paid and barely worked or the scrappy young guy constantly turning in work product, cost less, and had the attitude of “learning every day”?
  4. Those leases still exist, by the way. They never left. I’ve never seen a grouchy Landman while in-house (I’m in the new school batch, I guess), but I have seen, and have had to do it myself personally, situations where we have to tell the rest of the company no on something because of land and legal. I know you guys want to go out there and break open some prime rock that has everyone in the building with a STEM degree creaming their pants, but we have to check the legal boxes first to make sure we have the right to do it. So, I am effectively being the Bad News Bear all the time. And don’t even get me started on the Production Accounting side. But I realize that I am raining on the parade and try not to be an asshole about it. We’re all just doing our jobs and when we’re all in sync, we make the company a lot of money.
  5. So that’s what that looks like when it happens to someone other than Texas.
  6. The most notable Prime effect has been the tackling. They tackle just like him.
  7. So, is my LinkedIn about to be flooded with XOM job openings, then?
  8. The DD on that acquisition will be never ending. They’ll be finding surprises on the land side for a decade or more.
  9. McVeigh saw it as necessary collateral damage to get his point across. That’s the mentality of most extremists. The non-combatant victims either deserved it or was collateral damage necessary for the cause. Sprinkle in some religion and we get a “God/Allah will sort them out and reward the innocent” angle.
  10. Their main shot caller is rubbing elbows in Qatar and nowhere near in danger. My thought is that he received a boatload of cash to pull this particular trigger, but the question is from whom. But Qatar isn’t as safe as he thinks it is. History has shown that Mossad will find a way.
  11. This concept that Hamas cannot conduct “total war” is a flawed one. I’m not a trained fighter, but if I take a swing at Tyson Fury on the street and get two cheap shots in, I’m in a “fight” with Tyson Fury. The skill level between the two parties is irrelevant. It’s the intent of the initiator that matters, in my opinion. I hypothetically intended on knocking out Tyson Fury with a cheap shot and my life would probably meet a swift end after I failed.
  12. It’s not the distance, it’s the airspace they have to cross to get there. The Arab nations in between might not be openly hostile to Israel, at least not right now, but their leadership would be under immense pressure if they let Israel cross the airspace of a majority Muslim nation to attack another Muslim nation. If Israel did, it would be with a FAFO declaration putting everyone on notice that whoever shoots them down will get some, too. Which is why this is so dangerous. A cold religious war just went hot. Predictable and logical behavior are not on the table.
  13. Israel could glass the Gaza Strip without ever putting a boot on the ground and Hamas’ anti-air isn’t very effective, if it even exists. These air strikes seem very limited, so far. Makes me think Israel is softening them up and going to send in ground forces to completely clean, sweep, and level that place.
  14. Trump with Godfrey of Bouillon at the Siege of Antioch - 1098 AD
  15. Chasing the top is some gambling addiction, heart breaking shit. Profit is always better than bag holding.
  16. You’ll never hit the peak and you’ll have a hard time catching the way down. Selling at the beginning of a spike is the way.
  17. I took the bar exam on a gaming laptop because I knew it had the power to handle the exam software, even if the software was very poorly optimized. You think I’m going to go into the most important test of my life with a Chromebook?
  18. Iowa State seemed to be able to run at will against OU. If the same OU run defense shows up on Saturday, it’s going to be a huge day for Baxter and Brooks (who I now realize sounds like a custom suit company).
  19. Then your memory is starting to fade because this board’s very own Voodoochild had a pic of him and his cohort that was used for meme material by our rivals back in the 00s.
  20. Typical pre-OU heartburn game. Everybody remain calm.
