Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
I wear these. Get mistaken for the Hey Dude things all the time, but whatever. Bought a pair at the beach a few years ago and I've bought two other pair since then.

Either Missouri or Oklahoma, based on comments from his "advisor" in the process. Probably Missouri, unless this dude reached out to BV directly before entering the portal.

Oklahoma Recruiting 2024: Sunken Eyes and Licking Lips
I think Jones and Valai (if you don't count Wells as an analyst) are the only ones without ties to one or the other. People in the building seem really high on JJF, and I hope that's true because best case scenario, Littrell is here for two years and gets poached for a HC job somewhere.

Half the room was hurt, also, so no chance to get the freshmen any snaps to see how they worked out.

Oklahoma Recruiting 2024: Sunken Eyes and Licking Lips
Agreed. Love Bedenbaugh as a coach and developer, but something has to change with the ability to land and retain top-level OL. If he can have a partner on staff that can act as support for him, that's the best of both worlds. I had hopes that Murray might be that guy since RB recruiting is historically a smaller pool and can be locked up early.

Bass is more of an Athlete pick, if I'm understanding his recruitment. I think it was a panic response to the Texas game from last year when it became glaringly obvious there were zero QBs on the roster that could do the job at even a replacement level. The Ezukanma thing reads like a guy who was on the bubble and could possibly follow Lebby to secure a spot. No actual knowledge, though.

Philosophy on airline choice, vouchers, rewards etc
Having to exit, go through the draconian security that takes forever, waste two hours, and then return to my gate that was two down from my arrival gate? Yeah, that's Frankfurt to me. Plus, I always enjoy explaining in GermEnglish why a Kindle isn't a laptop, but isn't a phone.

Gumbo
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.

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
For the mention above of making steak sandwiches, I found that mixing leftover jus into mayo makes a hell of a spread on one.

Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44
Wait, is Bozo in play? This is the first I'm hearing of this, and that could be B.A.D. for the rest of the SEC if that deal gets done...

9-1
https://bball.notnothing.net/big12.php?sport=fb 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.

This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.
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.

Jonathon Brooks is a Bad Mother Fucker
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.

The similarities between OU post-Texas and OSU post-Oklahoma are currently upsetting me.

Chili w/o beans
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.

They always say "you'll never taste it"...have they tasted fish sauce? Even a little bit is intense.

Lincoln Riley to USC
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.

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

Iowa State @ Oklahoma 6PM FS1
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?

Tell me about ou
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.
-
Tell me about ou
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.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Drumm and Thune have pretty much signed this one over to ATM. Drumm said he got some info from someone at ATM indicating they internally felt like they were catching up to OU, but stopped juuuuust short of saying it's all Aggy at this point.
