  1. For Stars fans, what are your REALISTIC expectations of this team this year? 

    Dallas looks dangerous but Edmonton.....Vancouver....there's some talent in the West. Winnipeg doesn't do much for me, for some reason, but would be great to see some Canadian teams go deep this year. 

    Can you imagine a Canucks/Leafs final. Won't happen but would be the TV event of the decade on Canadian televisions. 

  2. I don't think you're going to see Helen Hunt at all. I would be very surprised. Maura Tierney will play a parent. 

    I spent 3 weeks working on this movie. Really enjoyed the experience although they were some extremely long days. Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and Katy O'Brien were very nice to cast and crew. 

    What's interesting about the trailer still shot above (looking out at the tornado) is that it was shot inside the Prairie Surf Studios in downtown Oklahoma City. It was formally the Myriad Convention Center arena prior to building the Chesapeake Arena for the Thunder. They shoot movies in there now including the main set for Tulsa King Season 1. The movie theater scene (with people getting sucked out of the theater) was shot inside the main arena. Took a few weeks to shoot that. Pretty cool process. 

    Cannot wait for July 19.

  3. Thanks for the advice. The hole.....er, whole process was no big deal. Good results and don't need to go back for 10 years. 

    Poop process was a piece of cake (food poisoning in India is a 100% worse) and the procedure itself was nothing. 

    Only thing I'd add, did the liquid diet two days earlier. Made a slight mistake not eating enough the day before. Only one can of chicken broth at lunch and two jello packets. Got a bit shaky at 2am from hunger pains. Be sure you consume enough before midnight.

  4. Going in Friday morning for the first time. You guys are recommending liquid diet tomorrow and then prep Thursday? Great thread. 

     

     

  5. The last and only time? 2011. Cripes, the Pokes, K-State and Baylor have won since the Horns. 

    Come on.....you're the Texas F*CKING Longhorns!!  You're in the best town in the Big 12, have the hottest coeds of any campus, best bars, best BBQ, best music, coolest fanbase. It was the best road trip of any Big 12 opponent. 

    Can you imagine recruiting to Ames or Stillwater or Manhattan, Kansas??? 

    You guys should have won 10 of the last 14....and you know it. 

    But anyway......seriously....congrats on the championship. It's about freagin time.

  6. I don't give my Pokes much of a chance in this one. But the fact so many Gooners are openly cheering on the Horns and having such a hard time with how this whole thing has played out, it's still a memorable season. 

    I've never seen - in all my years - Sooner fans this ugly going into bowl season. They are really having a hard time processing this and it's hilarious.

    Question from a non hockey fan...why did the Stars have so many overtime losses last season? I think the they had the most or close to in the entire league.

    No kidding. I went to 12 Stars games last year. Seven went into OT/Shootout and they only won two of them. 

    But I will say that November 23rd Blackhawks game was one of the wildest I've ever seen in 40 years of going to NHL games. Crazy third period.

  8. Hilarious. This complete cluelessness by the average American about hockey drives Canadians nuts. 

    I remember during the strike year when the Edmonton Oilers sent Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall to the Oklahoma City Barons. Huge names north of the border but complete no names in Oklahoma. 

    I went to a Thunder game one night and sat a few rows away from Taylor Hall who was with a smokin hot blond. Not one person came up to him all night. Number one player picked in the draft and the dude had complete anonymity in Oklahoma. 

     

  9. I was actually really impressed with how Vegas responded to that cheap shot. Typically, someone cheap shots your team captain, you come out swinging. Heck, in today's game, guys want to fight....er, wrestle....after clean hits. 

    But Vegas remained composed, played their game and watched Dallas completely implode. 

    Embarrassing night for the organization.

  10. Your Dallas Stars have just run into a very good team. I said from day one of the playoffs on this board that this Dallas squad isn't a Cup contender. Vegas is simply superior....and I hate saying that as I can't stand the Knights. 

    Having said that, I'd be embarrassed as hell by the display of the fans tonight. All those empty seats in the third period? Throwing crap on the ice?  Really? The sudden decrease in ticket prices on Ticketmaster in the last few hours? 

    A sad display by the entire organization today. Feel bad for Pavelski. Dude deserves a Cup. 

  11. What a disappointing development. Have always enjoyed Phoenix as an NHL city. Lots of frostbacks there during the summer. Truth be told, Phoenix is just a disappointing sports town when you look at Suns, Diamondbacks and Cardinals fanbases.

    And from a hockey players perspective, I think I'd much rather live in Phoenix than Quebec City, Houston or Kansas City.

  12. Count me in as looking forward to the off season and next year. What a fun team to follow this year. The Williams picks were great. 

    My major frustration this season was the lack of crowd support. Dead last in the league in attendance. Went to a lot of games this year and some you would have thought we were experiencing an ice storm outside. Oklahoma City is such a mediocre sports town. Drives me nuts.
