    Cooking a turkey Wednesday just for the purpose of making turkey and sausage gumbo for the tailgate Friday.  And of course turkey stock will be made from the carcass.  

    I'm keeping the carcass from my family's thanksgiving, and making a turkey of my own when I get back into town.  The first friends gettogether after Thanksgiving always means gumbo.

    I think I read that if K State, OSU, and OU end up tied (likely). Then K State could get the nod as well depending on the outcomes of other games.

    This lets you calculate what should happen based on game results, and weirdly enough, if Cincinnati beats Kansas the last week of the season, then it ends up being OU/Texas due to the difference in the Iowa State and Kansas results.

    Considering we thought every game would be like this after South Alabama, this season is still a W. A pathetic W, but still a W.

    I feel the same about OU's year.  Team is much improved over last year in some really key areas, got to beat Texas in a wild one.  Sucks to lose to OSU and hope that things shake out to play in the BigXII game somehow, but I can't be mad after last year's shitshow.

    Thats my hope. He walked to the locker room at 1mph, but If he tore his ACL, would he have been able to walk at all? He wasn't on crutches walking to the locker room so he was putting some pressure on that knee.

    When I tore mine, I had help but walked off.  This was indoor soccer, and none of us idiots knew what to do, so I just iced it and drove myself home after the game.

    Very true, but if you leave out the fish sauce in certain dishes, such as tiger cry, larb, pad thai, pad kee mao, or even pho, it's going to be lacking cuz it's missing that funk, like Caesar dressing without anchovies.

    Give us the funk, kilroy. Gotta have that funk.

    Oh I fully agree in dishes where it's providing a specific note that the thing needs.  I've got a bottle I use, I just don't make those at home enough.

    You make a bunch of great points.  I’m clueless on why he’s so bad at recruiting outside of WR/QB.  

    I think it comes down to quality of assistants in most cases.  His best recruiter by far was always Cale Gundy, and that gift predated him by two decades.  Bedenbaugh is an excellent coach and evaluator, but is not a headhunter on the recruiting trail.  I also wonder if Riley's skills as a coordinator make it hard for him to identify and teach those things to other coaches on staff.

    It goes back to why transcendent athletes are often poor coaches.  It's impossible for a Wayne Gretzky to teach someone to play like he played, and he has no idea how to maximize the talent or adjust around the skills of those around him outside of being a player himself.  Extend that one level higher to transcendent coaches.  Imagine Lincoln giving advice to a young DBs coach or DC like "Just perfectly remember what worked best in this situation the last twenty plays and call a perfectly disguised coverage to bait the offense into going to your strength."  Great, but what if that coach doesn't have the eidetic memory and intuition about tendencies that Riley has for the offense??

    Now Riley's lost the teachers, the evaluators, the planners, and the trainers that all build upon each other's work to make a complete team.  He's relying on himself and another generational talent to make up for it all, and if QB1 isn't absolutely note perfect every snap, then Saturday happens.

    This guy gets it. Nothing better than a swirl before a home game. My wife and I park right by there for every home game and have one on the way in. You can get pretty fucked up on them. Never tried the queso, too much of a boozer. I’ll be in Norman tomorrow, might try it at lunch. 

    Story goes they put Everclear in the sangria part of the swirl, so a couple of those are a problem.

    I guess maybe a lot of blowouts are closer than the score indicates but when it was 37-20 the game felt pretty even to me.  Opposite of 1st half against Kansas where it felt like KU was getting boatraced but the score didn’t show it. 

    This is 100% true.  How often does a team score forty in the first half, doubling up the other team, and it feels like a close game?

  9. If my kid were coughing up blood because of a football-related injury, I'd have a hard time wanting to see them out there getting hit again the same way a week later.  It wasn't even a weird, non-contact or odd circumstance, just getting drilled in the chest on a tackle.

    Im here bc OU fans only care about football and it’s all many of them have.  Totally agree with that post.  It’s just too important to suck for long - but look at NE.  Ha

    I'm here because the majority of OU fans online are painfully unfunny and have no sense of self-deprecation about how ridiculous college football is, whether it's going well or poorly.

    Plus, getting someone else's point of view of what's happening in the program is always entertaining, and sometimes enlightening.

  11. More on Kanak...

    Apparently it was a pulmonary contusion, lung bleed that he tried to play through until he was coughing up blood and unable to catch his breath.  Talks about it on his podcast:

    Was thinking about this earlier, but there are probably fewer 5 star interior DL than any other position most years outside of maybe TE. So when you have 30 five stars in a cycle and only 3 or 4 of them play DT, the margin for error becomes slim. Then add in the fact that this state only produces 5-star interior DL maybe every couple of years. So you are oftentimes looking out of state and going against school like Bama and Georgia who get who they want in the front 7 right now. And then add in whatever the hell you want to call what A&M does. 

    Just not a recipe for consistent success in reeling in 5-star DT. This doesn't even factor in the suckage of the last 13 years which hasn't help. 

    There just aren't many programs that consistently land that level of talent in any reliable way.  I saw a report that the only 5-star DL signed last cycle outside of the SEC were Woods at Clemson and Adebawore at OU.  That's it for everyone not named Bama, Georgia, and LSU.

    The potatoes really are the star. I had to actually reserve some of the fat/brine from the pan so the potatoes would brown up the way I like, and then poured that mixture back over the plated dish. Chef’s kiss. Will make again.

    That's a really good idea.  The time it takes to get the potatoes done can ruin other parts of a dish.  I struggle with getting it all timed out correctly, and I'm absolutely trying this the next time I do a recipe like this.
