God, could you imagine how boring like, Wyoming history would be? 

from 1826 to 1869 the land that would become the territory of wyoming was center-stage in the non-coastal history of the trans-mississippi

9 of the 15 mountain man rendezvous were held in what would become wyoming

south pass on the continental divide was the common point for 90% of the land traffic heading west before the golden spike

fort bridger during the utah war was the largest us army encampment between 1815 and 1861

A few team notes from IT

Star is a point of contention among fans and one notable analyst

So far, it’s essentially been a mix of Jelani McDonald and Graceson Littleton, depending on the offensive personnel on the field.

One source noted, “I’ll just say the coaches trust Littleton a lot.”

Curious that IT doesn't mention Taaffe at nickel whereas OTF emphasizes him getting reps at the position. Since all the above have gotten reps there, perhaps this means McDonald and Littleton are more likely for Ohio State? Assuming these notes are from this week prepping for game 1. If Littleton can hold down the position, it will be huge for flexibility over use of McDonald and Taaffe.

Will be interesting to see how they're situationally allocated. Can't wait.

Conoco and Phillips are Oklahoma home grown oil companies started in the late 1800's. Jed Clampett sold his fortune to Mr. Brewster in Tulsa, the 'Oil Capital of the World." Oklahoma is similar to Texas in that there are multiple producing formations, stacked like pancakes. There are no dry holes in Oklahoma; the only question is how much produced water you have to get rid of. West Texas Intermediate looks like the oil after a 2 year oil change. The Oklahoma Sweet oil produced around Ponca City, Conoco's home, is a golden-greenish-yellow color, and looks Quaker State 10W-40 that comes out of a can. It's the second most popular thing to come out of Ponca City, Oklahoma; Candy Loving being the first.

The smaller independent oil companies are the meat in potatoes in Oklahoma oil & gas production, many of which have had their fortunes since well before I moved there in the late 70's. Yes, there are plenty of trailer parks, just like any other place. But there is also an underlying wealth that is for them to know, and for you to find out about.

Harold Hamm was the youngest of 13 kids born to a share cropper, didn't go to college, and started his own company at 21. He is worth ~ $18.5 Billion.

Yeah, Harold didn't go to college, but I bet his kids did.

Make no mistake, there is a lot of money up there.

It’s Klubnick and the schedule. They are the most likely team to make the playoffs. Clemson will run over the ACC. I am not convinced they can win a NC, but they are my favorite to be the #1 seed in the playoffs. I’d be shocked if they lost 2 regular season games 

I wouldn't be. Their schedule isn't a joke and they went 9-3 last season and escaped by the skin of their teeth in the ACC title game. Klubnik is great but he was already great or close to it last year. How much better really are they going to get around him? Granted Klubnik could have some absurd season and patch over a ton of stuff.

They have 5 legit tests:

LSU at home

@GaTech 

SMU at home

@Louisville

@SCAR 

And a couple wildcard games in @UNC and FSU.

Their schedule does shake out well in that most of those games are spaced out so I think like them to get to Charlotte and win the ACC again but frankly I'd be shocked if they ran the table and I think 10-2 is much more likely than 12-0.

Was Jim Bridger the mountain man who was mauled by a grizzly?

But they have Jesus on their side 

How will that help them against vaguely religious schools such as SMU, Duke and Furman? What is Jesus supposed to do - root for BOTH teams?

What if they play Notre Dame in the playoffs? WHAT THEN?

Obviously Notre Dame would win, they have Touchdown Jesus.

When Young spoke candidly, everyone listened and responded. The season before, in 2004, the Longhorns trailed Oklahoma State 35-14. Brown opened the locker room doors and was about to give a halftime speech.

"'You ain't got to say s---, we know what the f--- we got to do," Griffin remembered Young saying as he cut off Brown. "It's hilarious now, but in the moment, you're like, 'Did he really just say that?'"

In the second half, Texas outscored the Cowboys 42-0.

Fuck yes.

I don't disagree with any of your post.

I only included aggy as 1 of the 4 that left the B12, blaming Texas for everything as they slithered out the door.

I lived in Colorado for 3 years, when they were good. Too bad Rick Neuheisel fucked that up. He had a monster going. 

I bought some new Python Boots before I moved up there in the 90's. I knew what they thought about Texan's, and I didn't want to disappoint them.

I was talking to a colleague one day, and he said something like, "You damn Texan's are all alike! Texas this, and Texas that! Why are you guys like that? Do they teach you that shit?"

"As a matter of fact, they do. Texas History in 7th Grade.

"Oh..." he replied, somewhat. surprised. "I have to be honest ... I'm jealous. Every person I've ever met from Texas is like that. I just wish I was from a place like that, where everybody had that much pride.

The Film Guy channel seems like it's really gaining momentum. Dude's probably going to go from 50 to 100k followers this college football season. 

The Bobby boys at OTF just hit 100k

How far is that from the Sand Creek Massacre?

@closetojumping it’s all over the It board that Michigan is going to cancel on us and maybe OSU. Conjecture not reporting, but not the dumb dumbs. You think they are wrong. You are probably right but I can see the other side of it too. 

If they truly were considering backing out, I think the CFP announcement this week makes it way less likely.

Also all the fines they got hit with. Backing out would be a pretty hefty penalty for breaking the contract and they probably don’t have a ton of spare cash laying around.

*IF* Ohio State were to puss out and not show up in Austin next year, I think we should pay whatever chump we sign up to replace them an extra $100k to wear Ohio State uniforms while we pummel them 75-0.

Why would they do that? It doesn't make sense financially. Doesn't make sense competitively. In a sport where "sports judging" by humans still comes into play to decide a champion it doesn't make sense from a PR standpoint either.

They’d also be roasted nonstop by all corners for being pussies. It’s not happening. Not after the CFP said playing these games won’t hurt you if you lose.

The fans of those schools would hate it. Doesn't make sense as a brand, for their fans, or financially.

Interestingly, the new, improved AI Otto Korekt somehow decided when I typed "M" that I was going to type "Mine" and not "Massacre"... and I didn't notice it. The response made me assume there was a Sand Creek in Wyoming (there is) and that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to introduce locals to the marvels of Democracy. I never did go look how far it is to eastern Colorado, but...

Yeah I had to look it up yesterday because it didn't make a lot of sense - Recently, I followed the trail on my drive from Cody to ABQ through the Wind River Reservation. Basically, there is a 600mi path through Wyoming called the Sand Creek Trail Massacre that commemorates the journey of the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples in the years following massacre. When I stopped at one of the signs in Wyoming, it talked about the massacre but failed to mention that it actually occurred in Eastern Colorado and nowhere near where the sign was located. https://www.cheyenne.org/blog/post/sand-creek-massacre-trail/
