    Happy to slam Mack, but this is apples to oranges. OU has been a mess under Venable. OU rarely had a bad offense or team under Stoops. 

    Agreed it's not a one to one comparrison, but no different than saying Mack got shut out while Sark never has.  Sark has never faced teams like Mack did.

    Sark and Mack now both have 3-2 records in a 5 game stretch in the series (2004-2008 for Mack, 2021-2025 for Sark)

    Mack:

    Average score: 25.4-20

    One loss as the higher ranked team (2007)
    One win as the lower ranked team (2008)
    Shut out once (2004)

    Sark:

    Average score: 36.8-19.6

    One loss as the higher ranked team (2023)
    One win as the lower ranked team (2025)
    Never shut out
    3 games with no TDs allowed (2022, 2024, 2025)

    Sark's first 2-game win streak in the series.  Mack had 3 of them himself (1998-99, 2005-06 and 2008-09)

    Mack never had a 3-game win streak 

     

    Mack also never shut out OU, while Sark has.

    This is the one they were talking about ont he TV.  There's a better angle on the replay.  It wasn't overly egregious I guess, but it certainly could have been called.

    And this one earlier in the play

    Here's the video.  There are bodies flying around but if anyone sees a block in back, screenshot it.

    First in a planned trilogy by The Expanse writers. 

    Not as good as The Expanse series, kind of out there. But I'll probably read the entire trilogy when it comes out. 

     

    I'm on the fence on this one.  The story and characters I was 50/50 on.  Some of their writing has always driven me nuts  (the constant "Everything was exactly the same...except it wasn't").  What killed me though, and I had problems with the Expanse as well because of it, is the narrator (I listened to all of these).  I just can't stand the way he enunciates things.  When the next volume comes out, I think I'm going to try to actually read it.

  7. My brother is on Book 7 I believe (Last Audiobook currently available) and he said it's really non-stop action and intense, kind of having trouble listening for more than brief periods.

    I'm on Book 5, just keep loving it!

     

    Spoiler

    Samantha is my current favorite side character.  Holy crap she cracks me up.

    Does anyone know a person in Austin that could install a TV antenna on the outdoor second story of our house? I have coax run to each room already but the person would I assume tie into the coax line in the attic. I could probably figure it out and do it myself, but I just don't want to mess with it.

    Don't bother with that.  Get one of the rectangle flat ones you stick to the wall.  I have an Airbnb in East Austin and I run three TVs with one of those things.  It can take a bit of adjusting to find the reight spot, but it won't take long.

    What kind of dumbass shit is this?

  10. Not directly related to the books, but thought y'all might find this amusing.  My teenage daughter is into D&D and so I've told her about these books.  I was just finishing Book 3 and she asked me how it was.  I told her, "it's great, and I have a new favorite insult, fart goblin!"  She responds, "What about mind goblin?"  I say "What's that?" And she responds:  "MIND GOBLIN' DEEZ NUTZ?!?" and breaks out laughing.  Not sure if I should be horrifyed or proud.  Probably both.

  12. I did Sling last year on their 4 month college football package.  I think it was like $275 or $300 and ran from the first game through at least the beginning of the playoffs (I think the title game was right after my package expired).  I don't see that package this year.  This year it looks like you have to do the Blue + Orange package plus the sports pack to get all the ESPN, SEC network, and Fox Sports games.  And it does not include most locals.  But it was cheaper per month than what I saw Youtube TV for.

    I think, for some, it will watch better as a binge

    But I do laugh when I see people get "mad" that they're waiting weekly for a 20-22 minute episode.

    Like.... same as pre-streaming, with commercials? Back when we watched new episodes each week of The Office or 30 Rock? 

    Yeah, I find it frustrating to wait now (spoiled) but at the same time, when I do binge, either because they release a season all at once or I just wait to watch it, I miss the banter with friends the following week (and online) about the latest episode like I used to have with Lost, Battlestar Galactica, etc.

  14. I'm curious about that as well. I can listen to an audiobook while I'm doing something else, like driving or folding laundry, and I feel like I retain it pretty well, but if I try to just sit down and listen to one, my mind will wander and I'll barely pay attention, much less retain anything.  For non-fiction books, if it's something I have a really strong interest in, I can listen and retain.  Like for instance, I listed to a book about Narcissim while going through a divorce.  That held my attention really well as it got me thinking about a lot of things.  However, I've tried some self-help or professinal development books, and I just can't pay attention or retain it.

    I will say on the fiction, if it's a really complex book with a ton of characters (and those characters disappear for large portions at a time), I sometimes have difficulty.  I just finished the Stormlight series and in the later books I was constantly confusing which character was which.

     

  15. I'm on episode 5.  I'm enjoying it, but I get what some of you said about not caring about any of the characters.  It's basically just easy entertainment while I'm on the exercise bike.
