    Burks is a good example of how programs should be careful in the portal and NIL era. 

    This is exactly the issue.  OU's staff haven't shown much of an ability to attract top-flight talent at some key positions, and so they're constantly scrambling and overpaying for what they have.  This means they're overleveraged on talent with no margin for error.

    He averaged 7.9 ypc, your mods hinted at him being reluctant to return to the field throughout all of October and most of November, and he had a long of 20 yards on the season. Prior to the season, from the spring of 2024, through magazine write-ups in June, through media days, and then through scoring his only 3 tds against an absolutely shitty Temple team, your talking heads and coaching staff told anyone and everyone how fucking great he was. What a steal he was! What was Purdue doing letting him get away!!

    Then? He got hurt against Tennessee and had to be begged back onto the field. Once injured again, he was done and talking of transferring. Your idiots running things with NIL overpaid to keep him. 

    He's a pedestrian slot WR who can't handle the physicality of the SEC. He'll be an afterthought riding a bike by the Texas/OU game. 

    Oh I never said he was great, just that I don't think he quit on the team.  I think once the other WRs started to leave/get more seriously injured, Burks became a higher retention priority than he would have been otherwise.  In an ideal roster situation, you're exactly right that he's a depth piece with speed and above average hands that can be a change of pace.  Given the reality of the room, he's been treated like a #1, for better or worse.  No idea what he's going to look like this year.

    Deion Burks...quit the team via "soft tissue injury". 

     

     

    This is the only piece I might take slight exception to.  He fought to get back on the field after missing seven calendar weeks and got a really nasty concussion near the end of the game he returned.  He may or may not be any good this year, but prior to the injuries, he was getting open in front of two QBs that were psychically incapable of staying in the pocket to find an option later in the play.

    La Carreta is solid. I used to go to Miami all the time for work, and the ropa vieja and rice always hit the spot before flying home.

    Don't sleep on Kuva if you're down in the low number gates. Vaca Frita slams.

    Versailles is only good for a drive by cortado to go.

    I used to travel to Miami often for work, staying right by the airport.  You could do a lot worse there than the Latin Cafe 2000 right outside the airport  Marriott compound.

    He’s robbing the university and has been as long as he’s been a coach. He is a joke. The TE room is as bad as I can remember, including the 90’s. Plus he looks like a complete dip shit so it’s hard to take him serious at all.

    I'd certainly feel a lot better about the situation if any of the TEs had either performed to expectations or improved in any marked way over the course of his time in Norman.  But other than that, great dude, no notes.....

    The fact that he hit the open market and his best offer was a bad Auburn team with a HC about to be fired says a lot.  If he were good, any number of good teams would have offered.

    His performance and the fact that he got benched for a stretch last year tanked his value, no question.  Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think his preparation and coaching situation were so incredibly poor that it's hard to imagine him not having a better season in the next two years.  He's not winning a Heisman or anything, but if he can regain some confidence and get into a system that allows him to see the field without running for his life after the first read, he's going to be fine.

    You are your QB.  Their QBs were good, they were good.  Their QBs were garbage, they were garbage.

    I do think the Littrell situation fucked up Jackson Arnold something fierce.  He's going to be better outside of Norman in the future.

    Pork rib with the pork belly still attached.

    I'm hoping to do a set of those once the weather warms up a bit.  The big Asian market up here carries that cut.

    There is also the continued fascination with Cale Gundy to rescue the program. 

    It makes zero sense.  He was always a plus recruiter and a reliable position coach at both RB and WR, but never called plays, never showed any propensity for design or theory, and couldn't keep himself from doing something dumb and getting fired.  That's who you want back in the building?  If he were a lights-out QB guru or a Leach-style innovator, maybe I could see talking yourself into it, but come on.

    is their something like a cooperative Crank? Doesn't have to be Clank, but my family game night prefers coop games.

    https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/266507/clank-legacy-acquisitions-incorporated

    I've got a group I'm working through Clank Legacy with.  We love it.  Clank as a legacy game turns into a great combo of cooperative and competitive.  The group has overall goals to achieve, but you still want to be the winner of each round.

    We played the Pandemic Legacy games together, and can recommend those also.  Season 1 > Season 0 > Season 2, but they've all got cool mechanics that work in interesting ways.

    oh god

    I'm thinking it's time to pull out the worst alternate uniform combo we can muster.  It's better to disguise the team from what's about to happen.  That's not going to be a nice memory when it's included in every highlight reel produced for the next twenty years.

    Thanks for all the recommendations, y’all.

    Anybody know anyone in software procurement at ConocoPhillips and P66 that likes whiskey?

    Since I’m on a roll.

    Seriously, they raise $1mm a year for the United Way at a golf tournament at some muni goat track in Bartlesville, which is why I’m there all week as a supporting sponsor.

    If you're playing, don't hit it left on 4.  My dad likes to lay down in his backyard and pretend he got conked.

    Injun casino.  Two historic hotels - Hotel Phillips and Inn at Price Tower.  You can go give the Pioneer Woman some money in Pawhuska.

    Sadly, the Price Tower is closed, the owners started selling off the historic furnishings.  Fucking vultures.

    Frank and Lola's was pretty good when I went, and Murphy's Steak House is always a throwback to a past that doesn't exist anymore.  Get the Hot Hamburger, gravy over all, and the salad with house dressing.

    Stumbled across this recipe for German Pancakes earlier in the summer and have made them 2 or 3 times.  Every time I make them, I marvel at how damn easy this recipe is to prepare and cook.  Pancakey on sides and custard-like in bottom of the pan.

    Recipe I used:

    https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/german-pancakes-2/

    I've only had this in the "Dutch Baby" version:

    Dutch Baby

     

    It's really good and thin on the bottom.  Not too heavy, and served with powdered sugar, butter, and lemon.

    I'm definitely going to try the recipe you posted.  That looks tremendous.
