  1. The story I always heard was that, post WW2, the BMDs in Oklahoma wanted a winning football team for state pride. They went to Iba first, because at the time Oklahoma A&M had the stronger athletic department, had a nationally known basketball team and a strong football program and offered to finance one. Iba refused their money and said he wouldn't buy players. So they went to Norman instead and were welcomed with open arms. After Iba retired OSU rethought this position but were really bad at cheating, and got caught multiple times through the '70s and '80s, culminating in the "near death" penalty in 1992 after Hart Lee Dykes ratted out the program.
  2. I'm a lifelong Poke and graduated there before coming to Texas. I hate ou with the fury of a thousand suns. State's best chance is if Gundy gets Covid protocoled and can't coach. He shits the bed against the sooners every. damn. time. Hope I'm wrong.
  3. So you're saying this team has something to play for? Guarantees they'll fuck it up. Need to let this season die.
  4. LG C1. 65" 4K and all that. Bigger than the 1080p set I bought when we moved in 10 years ago with amazing upgrade in resolution etc. Seemed like a good balance of features, size and $$. Tempted by 77" but felt too big for the room plus $1k+ premium over 65".
  5. Thanks for the opinions - pulled the trigger on the OLED. Y'all convinced me to spend money and not be my usual cheap ass self.
  6. So what's the opinion of the Surly elite - Samsung QLED good enough or spring the extra for LG OLED?
  7. We can't defend Kansas!?! I may be out. Can't watch this shit.
  8. Dang, remember Aaron in the trailer days. Just a guy with a passion for cue knocking it out of the park. Plus, you could walk up at 11:15 and get a plate by noon.
  9. Riley postgame presser complaining about refs and about Baylor running up the score
  10. Just picked this up from Hye. Debating whether to drink or hang onto. I'm assuming it's pretty standard GB fare inside the bottle, so might just put it on a shelf - was a special bottling to support Team Rubicon on Hurricane Harvey relief from 4 years ago. Anybody cracked this open?
  11. At first I thought this was part of THE University. More from one of the founders https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/we-cant-wait-for-universities-to
  12. In my industry - infrastructure design - you have to have a 4 year stem degree. Starting pay in the $60s. It’s the same regardless of school, so you should pick the cheapest school with a good 4 year program.
  13. When we run Bijan every play they know we're running Bijan every play. Just doesn't work.
  14. Foes with the missed double- team hold that sprung Purdy on the mast play. But I'm done complaining about the refs, because we don't deserve nice things
  15. Oh, it must be the second half!
  16. Card sighting
  17. Looking to see if they can justify giving the ball to iSU

  19. Here’s the text if you don’t want to click through. For Immediate Public Release Facebook Stole Our Name and Livelihood Hello, World! We are Meta Company. Original Flavor. [emoji4] For the last three months, Facebook lawyers have been hounding us to sell our name to them. We refused their offer on multiple bases. Namely, the low offer wouldn’t cover the costs of changing our name, and we insisted on knowing the client and intent, which they did not want to disclose. At least two law firms were involved: One in the USA that requested our trademark and domains (Kilpatrick, Townsend & Stockton), and the other in Europe aggressively contacting trying to get us to sell our domain registrations (Hogan Lovells). On October 20th, 2021, during a phone call with Facebook attorneys, we declined their low offer and maintained our requirements. At this point, we presumed it was Facebook and identified them on the call. The attorney representing Facebook declared they would respect our existing right and registration. On October 28th, 2021, Facebook decided to commit trademark infringement and call themselves “Meta”. They couldn’t buy us, so they tried to bury us by force of media. We shouldn't be surprised by these actions — from a company that continually says one thing and does another. Facebook and its operating officers are deceitful and acting in bad faith, not only towards us, but to all of humanity. It's unfortunate to have been associated with a company so rooted in controversy and fixated on domination. We aim to be distinguished from Facebook's totalitarian view of the future. We hope the negative association with Facebook and its founder will be forgotten — but we won't ignore the damages done. We have proceeded to file the necessary legal actions. This message may be regarded as a public cease and desist. We welcome your support. One more thing: Our new product launch just got delayed because of Facebook. We must deal with these matters. In the coming weeks, we will make an announcement earlier than we expected. We promise it will be good. Stay tuned. Thank You. Sincerely, Nate Skulic Founder, MetaCompany Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Well this is predictable. http://meta.company Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Apparently winning really is hard.
  22. Hey! We fought through a hold!
