  1. We all want to feel like our schools offer something special independent of the coaching staff that happens to be there, but the reality is that it isn't true for most athletes. You've got a handful that grew up with an attachment to a particular school, but at this level, they don't have anything remotely resembling a normal college experience or the normal goals of a student. I understand that some of the very specific sciences get that way, too. It doesn't matter what institution your PhD comes from, it matters who taught you.
  2. In an attempt to be rational, I'd highly doubt Lincoln was going into recruit's homes and telling them he was taking the USC job before it was announced. Zero chance he has them commit to OU and then orchestrate a flip campaign with nobody spilling anything in advance. What he did was sell them on HIM versus the university, which is standard operating procedure. Then, once the time came, the attachment is to the staff versus the school. Again, that's normal, it just feels worse because they publicly committed and said some nice things about the program. Now, if the Simmons stuff comes out as true, that's a whole different ball of wax, as he was in a goddamn car with Bob Stoops going to sit in on meetings with families all while texting other recruits he was on the way West. That's grounds for a show cause at the very least, and Parsons-level restrictions at the other end.
  3. Reportedly just bought/built a new one.
  4. Possibly was an old pic from just after the OU/TX game, and if so, super out of context and misleading.
  5. Agreed 100%. He isn't welcome at KSU, but he's turned down offers from elsewhere. He's stable and probably knows that being a glad-handing program manager isn't his forte.
  6. The only thing I'm "aware" of (thirdhand rumors, etc.) is that he had an issue with a donor's daughter, but that was 20+ years ago at KSU. He's not welcome there, certainly, but the rest of it is on his temperament and desire to focus only on a smaller job.
  7. As an OU fan, I hate that it's happening, but there's zero incentive for him to do this any other way. If you're going to make a move, you're not beholden to the prior job in any way. Your job now is to make SC as successful as possible, including stripping away any recruits or coaches you think might help with that.
  8. The fact that there isn't a clear answer floating around is what concerns me. Urban Meyer is a no from both sides, likely, and who else carries the weight to come in and save two years of recruiting AND prepare for an SEC move?
  9. Last time it happened was Fairbanks in 1973. Last time someone left to take a college job was in the 40s, Jim Tatum to Maryland, I think?
  10. Tom's admission/sentiment towards Greg this week was probably the most honest and caring anyone's been on this show. I also loved the irony of Logan saying nice things about Kendall immediately followed by taking it back when they were alone. I appreciate when a character believes they are lying while expressing something that's clearly the truth.
  11. I've still got my Gantt charts from last year, so I just need to see if there are any menu changes being requested.
  12. Yep, the card member "status" got me onto another phone queue to re-book overnight, versus having to wait at the airport. Ruined a night's sleep, but I'd rather do that than stand in that line 10 times out of 10.
  13. I almost got caught in this. Southwest Florida for a week, notified the night before my return flight that my RSW-DAL was cancelled and we would be re-booked from Saturday at Noon to Monday at 8PM. Fuck that. Spent a good portion of my night on hold, but got a direct flight out of MIA with plenty of time to drive over. We lucked out, but the line for re-booking assistance at MIA stretched for three gates.
  14. Uh, you're talking about the only WR recruit currently committed to OU in the '22 class. If the other three had stayed, this wouldn't be happening.
  15. What about this but with a piece of cornbread instead of the tortillas?
  16. Coke at the movies, or at any low-end Mexican restaurant or pizza place. Nothing like some cheap pepperoni washed down with a coke in a huge clear plastic cup. I've essentially quit soda, but those are the times I really miss it.
  17. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but Sarah Sherman performs as Sarah Squirm and is into live-action Ren and Stimpy levels of gross bodily comedy and overacting. No idea how or if they'll incorporate any of that into the show, but it would be WILD if they did. Like people turning off the TV and writing actual, physical letters, wild.
  18. The fries exist to funnel honey mustard. If they're crispy, salted well, and hot? That's just a bonus.
  19. I thought Morris was confirmed as fine and participating, despite the rumors. Maybe that was just wishful reporting?
  20. It was such a straightforward noir story that I thought I had missed something. It wasn't enough sci-fi to be exciting, nor enough of a departure from the tropes of noir to be exciting.
  21. Still, if the goal is to get to an Alabama and Ohio State level, you've got to convince 5-star guys that it's not a big deal to get in and compete with other 5-star guys. Not sure how you sell that outside of Tuscaloosa, but that's the target.
  22. "On my mother, I don't play!" on his way to the bus or whatever. That's the most high-pitched shit talk I've ever heard out of someone who just won a fight.
  23. That's really funny, I didn't know that had been moved. That was always the joke. "How do you get from Norman to Stillwater? Drive north until you smell it, then east until you step in it."
  24. I'd assume the best other use would be a KFC bowl.
