    Strawns for breakfast and or pie. Used to like the Blind Tiger as well for a beer or two once I came of age.

    Most of the other places we would hit up are long gone.  Cypress Inn, George’s, Leon’s, Trejos, Bubba and Boudreaux’s, Mr Jim’s.  

    Man, I have such strong memories of going to Strawns and Cypress Inn when I was a kid visiting family.  My mom refuses to eat any other strawberry pie.

  2. Hookem and Sux pretty much nailed my thoughts.  Hopefully they won't have to play any true freshmen apart from Pettaway and maybe a RB.  If anyone else sees meaningful time this early, it's a sign of a bad year.  Woodi Washington coming back was a big win, and means they only have to rewire half of the secondary.  OU fans are pretty critical of Gabriel, but that's because we hyperfixate on easy throws that were way off.  We don't notice that it happens to every single QB for every team every week.

    I also really wonder about Ugwoegbu moving on.  Volumes have been written about his ability or deficiency, but he's never complained, always worked his ass off.

    OL is going to be about what it was in the bowl game, so that won't be awful with the addition of Rouse.

    I don’t cater to shitty taste. The roast will be just past rare. My mom can work a skillet if she wants to ruin a slice.

    The trick I used when dealing with those folks was to have a shallow pan of the jus at just below a simmer. If you dunk a slice in there just before serving, it knocks the "pink" off of it and fools them into thinking it's whatever temp they wanted.  Or you could continue with your plan and I salute that experience as well.

  4. He's built a good reputation on the defensive side of the ball, and is hoping Lebby and Bedenbaugh will attract quality on the offensive side.  So far, it's worked halfway, but this class is nearly as defense-heavy as Riley's classes were offense-heavy.

    Aside from Arnold, Green, Pettaway, and maybe J. Johnson, they're not getting the absolute top-flight dudes on offense.  They need help with RB and WR recruiting in a big way, and Bedenbaugh has some reputation to rebuild.

    It’s a response to a question on how the portal guys will effect the team’s ability to prepare for the bowl game. He’s plainly saying no one that is currently in the portal is going to have much an impact on how the team looks at the bowl game. It’s not as scathing as it seems. 

    It being specifically about bowl prep is slightly different.  I know that saying they "did not contribute" in a meaningful way is true, but why say it?  Is he reassuring the fan base about how entertaining the fucking Cheez-It bowl will be?  It comes across as defensive and combative when it's an easy thing to answer.  You wish the guys well who are prepping for the draft, and you say there are people looking for opportunities elsewhere that are still "your guys" who you will root for unless they line up across the field in the future.  You're excited for the team to get to bowl prep and get ahead for next year.

    It's not Jimbo-level bad, but it's weird.

  6. Agreed.  He's not Deion coming into a brand new situation and putting everyone on notice like Baldwin doing a favor for Mitch and Murray.  These are ostensibly his guys that the staff spent almost a year trying to coach and mentor.  We all know that some level of processing happens, but who does this comment help?  Is it directed towards fans? Players still on the team?  Potential transfers in?

    I’m not sure whats truth or rumor but he blames OU for his lackluster pro career. 

    From what I recall, at least one of the coaches sandbagged him with scouts around draft time.  Shots about his commitment and effort.  Even if some of those coaches aren't around, I'd imagine that sours the ol' memories.  Also, I think one of them might actually be back, which would almost certainly be a dealbreaker.

    Nothing more. He made a mistake and was rightly fired for it. And, also rightly, the whole alumni came to his defense. 

    The hilarious part is that I see people claiming that having Gundy around would have equated to at least 3-4 fewer losses.  While I think he was generally a plus recruiter and a good guy to have on staff, what exactly do they think a WR coach does?!?

    Looking like Samples, and M. Kelly are top picks for WR coach. I’d definitely pregame Samples there. His instant recruiting impact would be huge. 
     

    Roof is gone, but I haven’t heard any names on a replacement. 

    I don't want to be the "source?" guy, because I'm woefully without sources myself.  However...this is huge news.  Where are we hearing this?

    Vasek was always going to be an incredible challenge to hold onto. He had every reason under the sun to want to go to UT. I was always shocked he even committed in the first place. Must have been some short lived teenaged rebellion. 

    Can't go out and get pumped Five-Goose and expect people to be excited to jump aboard.

  11. Would absolutely love for the attendance to crater this cycle.  I'm sure tickets are bought and non-refundable, which is why they're comfortable springing this nonsense last-minute.
