  1. I think there's a tape, but the tuba is pretty young.
  2. The problem in St. Louis is that the actual eclectic, energetic arts and music areas are spread too far apart and are still dropped in the middle of areas that don't feel safe all the time. The Grove is getting better, but it's too far from the Loop, which is the old version, and too far from Cherokee St., which is the new version.
  3. He sat out a year. Played 2013 at Tech, sat out 2014, started 2015. He did get refunded a year of eligibility, bypassing the 2-year rule that was in place for in-conference transfers. They changed the rule because he was a non-scholarship player at Tech.
  4. I think one of my all-time facepalm takes happened during the Baker transfer. I think I said something like "if he wants to come pay his own way and run the practice squad on a team he grew up loving, that's fine, but he shouldn't get a scholarship".
  5. There were reports that there was a paperwork issue holding him up, and that it might be significant enough to prevent him from transferring at all. I don't think there's been any kind of official word either way.
  6. Thought he was going to be 3rd string behind Brooks and Stevenson, didn't like Boulware and thought it was time for a change with a new coach coming in anyway.
  7. You know what? Threads like this make me incredibly disappointed and sad as hell when comparing them to similar ones on Oklahoma boards. I'm a Sooner, but it feels like I've got way more in common with you all than with them on 95% of these things. Football is fun as hell, and so is hating Texas, but when it comes to the future of the goddamn country, this is where I'd rather be. Hook 'em. Vomit in my mouth.
  8. It's even better than spatchcocking for temp control, and the only reason not to do it is for presentation, which goes out the window with spatchcocking anyway.
  9. Also happened in 2016, Houston and tOSU.
  10. Shit-shuka
  11. I prefer a fried fish taco, so a burrito would ensoggen the crispy fish, making it less than desirable. Tacos let it breathe, man.
  12. Sometime around like 2009? It's been a decade-long fight to recover from this stuff for OU, and that's even with some relative success.
  13. If it were an internal suspension, maybe, but the ones in question are NCAA suspensions, and so would result in forfeits if they tried to play around with timing.
  14. "error on the side of caution"...
  15. Reports are that he's recovering quickly and could contribute sooner than initially planned.
  16. Injured, not suspended.
  17. I think some of it was disproved, but it's never going to go away now.
  18. Spray Tan is Murray. It goes back to when he was rumored to be porking Brennan Clay's wife. She supposedly had Murray in her cell phone under "Spray Tan".
  19. It's an interesting question, but the way we saw it was very much the opposite, at least through the Stoops era. Still related to refs, but we always believed that OU's offense was predicated around BigXII refs being very tight on PI calls, giving the receivers more free run in the secondary, forcing defenders to be too passive in coverage. Then, when BCS games or Playoff games hit, the much looser ACC or Big 10 officials would allow just about anything short of a full tackle downfield. OU's passing game wasn't able to adjust, and the defenses couldn't magically become more physical for one game to take advantage of the shift. Watch the Florida/OU 2008 game for a prime example of this, in my opinion. OU averaged 7.5 penalties a game that year, and got 4 called on them in the title game. Florida was taking heads off in the secondary with little to no repercussions. The second point tex makes definitely reflects Grinch trying to adapt our play to the national style and prepare for competition outside the BigXII. This is a wise move, and hopefully helps to address everyone's concern that OU for years has been content winning the BigXII and being pantsed in the postseason. I also want to be clear, this is in no way blaming refs for OU's failures. If this is something a fan notices, then a coach has to be responsible enough to realize the same things and make systemic change to keep it from happening in the future. They should have seen in 2003 things were trending the wrong way, but I believe Bob truly thought he had to play to win the BigXII first and let the dice roll for everything after that.
  20. This dude pretty much immediately got outed as a troll. He's posted from Alabama the same thing about not renewing Bucks season tickets too.
  21. (I'm a sooner, but attempt to be reasonable)
  22. I took the Roach quote slightly differently. I took it to mean that the LJ news wouldn't affect the timing of Wheaton's decision, not that it wouldn't affect the decision at all. Maybe I misread.
  23. This idiot Sooner agrees. KU, CU, NU, MU all did the same thing.
  24. Most are saying it's: https://247sports.com/player/shane-whitter-46055031/ https://247sports.com/player/justin-harrington-46085332/
  25. This is true, but he's a quality get in his own right.
