Good morning Sooners!! Lattin was on fire last night with the blocks! Buddy scores 30 while taking only 12 shots. OU looks very good right now.
Good morning Golf! Team looks great. Shooting was lights out last night. Cousins is definitely back in form
Morning 76, Jordan was playing well last night too. What is scary is that for most of the first half the team was in cruise control. They hit it hard for about the first 7 minutes of the second half then put it back on cruise control. They are looking better and better.
Much agreed. Great to see some hard work coming to a point
Howdy,
Morning 47!
Good morning, he’s a natural at it.
Good morning, yes he is.
Mornin Golf!!
Morning 47!
Morning Golf and BOOMER!!!!!!!
Morning Metz SOONER!
Those NBA 3s were fun!
John Hoover’s article this morning “Sooner starters shot 60 percent from the floor. The 40 percent that were missed, were Bob Stoops fault”
LOL Oscar!
What’s up Sooner Nation?
Howdy!!!
Is Buddy having the best or second best season ever for an OU bball player? I wasn’t around when Tisdale was playing, but it seems like only his seasons could really compare to what Buddy is doing. I think Buddy is definitely having a more impressive season than Blake did. Can’t think of any other comparisons, which is saying something, b/c OU has had some great players come through Norman.
Blake did not have much of a supporting cast to help him. Tisdale is still my all time favorite Sooner. He had the biggest smile and the softest hands. Buddy is quickly jumping into my top 3!
I would have to go with Buddy…he’s double digits every game but boy Wayman was electric I miss him his smile love for Jazz but Buddy is off the charts…
I too was fortunate enough to see Tisdale play, as I was attending OU during his career. The guy was beyond words good. All of these players were good in different ways and played different positions. Stacey King was also dynamite as well as Mookie Blaylock.
Mookie Blaylock was one of the best thieves I have ever seen play. Guy could steal the ball while never taking his eyes off of the opponents eyes.
We got a new puppy and named it Mookie back then. He was one heckuva guard and his steals were amazing.
Tisdale could play inside and outside. He was amazing. I’d put Wayman above Hield. But that does not imply Buddy is not great.
Buddy is great! Waymon Tisdale’s smile and attitude infected the whole team. You could tell he was really enjoying himself! He was a fantastic player, entirely different game than Buddy. Blake’s team didn’t play as well as a team. He is an amazing player. Alvin Adams was really big-time in his day.
Stacey King says hello.
Morning all. “It is another great day to be a SOONER”, Now get out there and get some “BOOMS”
Morning 47 and BOOMER!
Good Morning Metzker, Stay away from the ledge for the next few days. And let the pieces fall where they may. And SOONER!!
Will do.
Yes, I would love to hear a few BOOMS!
A little John Lee Hooker.
I’m not a John Lee Hooker fan.
I feel bad for you.
LOL! No need for that, I have lots of musicians I enjoy, he isn’t one of them.
I’m sure we could find a middle ground.
I’m sure we could.
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!
Morning, gentlemen! One more week.

who is that?
not sure. Viney reposted.
He plays in the CFL.
Morning, BC!
Who is this related to?
Johnny Sears is a CFL DB. Not sure what he was talking about, but I went and checked him out. He plays for Hamilton.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you Golf. Wasn’t sure who he was, but saw the Wait on it. Was hoping it was good news. Never mind, sorry to get everyones hopes up.
No worries! I am an optimist so my hope is always up. LOL
Good morning Crimson. Maybe they both know something we do not.
Morning 47. I was thinking maybe a friend or something in the Fresno Cali area.
Well we have been getting some gems from that part of the world. So i guess we will have to “Just wait on it” :-0
Now for me it’s Buddy followed by Tisdale Blaylock then my high school bro Stacey King
If OU still had TaShawn Thomas they would not only be undefeated, but would be unstoppable. I really hope Lon can get some top notch players to sign with OU with all this momentum.
I think Lattin has more upside than Thomas had.
Thomas can be that big body in the middle and looked to score. Lattin is defensive minded and hasn’t looked comfortable being a great scorer yet. If Lattin could add 10 pounds of rip, he would certainly be a force.
Lattin seems to get better every single game. Lot of upside.
He really does do better every game, kinda incredible honestly
Morning Bleed! Long time no talk!
Morning Golf! I quietly lurk around. 🙂
I do that some days.
If he consistently knocks down that baseline jumper, it will open up so much more for the other guys too.
Absolutely agree. If they had Thomas coming off the bench this team would be unreal.
Thomas lacked the gene that promoted ball movement which is how this offense flows. He would absolutely hinder how OU likes to play. Addition by subtraction.
Does anyone know if Ohio State has any weaknesses/vulnerabilities/mismatch opportunities at all (way too early analyses)? Or will it be much like playing Clemson or Alabama?
Nope they will be ready. Mike stoops needs to find his balls again and not let Ohio state dictate how our defense should play. Our style of play should not change just because the other team has a mobile qb.
Ohio State will be inexperienced on both sides of the ball, lots of new starters. Solid at QB though.
Don’t worry about any weaknesses. It won’t matter. We are going to face a very good Ohio State team They use their TEs more than any team in the country. Defensively, they’ll be ready. Offensively, they will try to slow it down but go uptempo and take shots if its available. They are going to try to run it right at you and using misdirection.
Morning Sam,yeah ohilo state will be good for sure.
Morning, Metzker.
Do let that B1G moniker fool you: they have speed and they’re physical.
Morning Sam! I agree with your thoughts. That is exactly what Urban will try and do.
Morning, Golf.
How was time with the family?
I’ve watched a lot of tOSU football over the past 25 years. I think I know them as well as I know OU.
Time with the family was good, time with my granddaughter was awesome. Nothing like a 2 year old giving you a bear hug around the neck to restore order to the world.
Urban sticks with his game plan and will run the same misdirection stuff over and over. Eventually someone will be out of position and it turns out to be a big play. Have to stay gap sound against his teams.
They lost a lot of playmakers, especially on offense
Their biggest loss was Bosa on the D imo. That dude was nasty good.
Great point, he’s a hos
Joey Bosa and Adolphus Washington on the left side of their d line together basically shut down half of the field.
And they’re just not the same since Herman left.
Buddy is the best collegiate shooter I’ve seen since Kevin Durant, when he is making 30ft 3’s he is pretty much unguardable!
Truth!
Agreed. 30 points on only 12 shots. Those two shots from well beyond the 3 pt line were shoulder sagging for the Techsters.
What really makes me mad is the fact that we can only get eight thousand people To a basketball game
We are number one in the country with one of the most explosive players I’ve seen in years and a supporting cast that could take this team to the Final Four….wtf… I would give my right testicle to see this team in action (it got crushed in desert storm ) I know to much information
If it got crushed, then you wouldn’t be giving up too much. That isn’t good logic. But I think I understand what you really mean. …I never understood the game. I just like watching people making outlandish shots.
A very interesting comment to read while eating my morning fruit.
However, thank you for your service to this country!
the early games on a weekday screw the fans though. No way I could’ve made it by tip.
I keep reading that Striker is undersized and that could hurt him the draft, but he continues to get around NFL ready tackles. You can’t measure the size of the desire and heart!

Speed kills.
You accidentally had the wrong link. I think you meant to put this one:
http://oklahoma.247sports.com/Bolt/Striker-putting-on-a-show-at-Senior-Bowl-43173477
LOL! Wonder how that happened, I had not even opened that one yet to read it. Thanks!
I can’t help but laugh at this attempt at an article. They’ve taken a single tweet and manipulated that into the headline of ‘putting on a show.’ Never ceases to amaze the lengths some will go to just to get clicks.
Not a lot of information. Just opinion.
I generally loath clicking on a 247 link, the article I originally was reading was off of CBS Sportsline. Not sure how they got that link there.
They’re partnered w/ 247
Gotcha! I will be more careful in the future. Didn’t they just buy them out or something? I was actually reading an article about the PEDs and the NFL on there and that was on the side. I read Striker and decided to click.
Oh, you’re totally fine. So long as no one is taking $ info from other boards and posting it here, I’m not going to begrudge anyone from linking to stuff. Sure, I have my preferences on what I personally will and won’t click on. But I’m 1000% an advocate for everyone getting as much OU info from wherever they want to get it from 🙂
Oh heck no. I don’t pay for any of the sites I read and I sure would not post anything here for money. I just try to get every bit of info I can on my Sooners! And that is why I spend so much time here! I LOVE this site!!!
nice
Yeah, and some of us suckers pay for that kind of (lack of) info. Sigh….
It’s not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog.
Exactly. My grandpa always told me to pick on the big guys not the little guys. LOL
I can’t wait for the BIG12/SEC showdown Saturday. Glad we get a shot to go against a star like Simmons and not just some bottom-feeder SEC team. Should be fun. Boomer!
Sooner!!!!! I loathe LSU on all levels, hope we crush them
A week or two has gone by after Boren did his temper tantrum. Now, bowlsby comes back and spanks him in the butt…
Bowlsby to Boren:
“If you let go, I’m going to have to jump in after you..” (titantic)
“Get to the Choppa!!!, do it.. do it now!!”
“Run for the hills, run for your lives…”
Thanks for the chuckle ?
In my opinion, Buddy Hield is good, Wayman Tisdale was great. He was an All-American as a freshman, sophomore, and junior. Think about this, he was chosen #2 in the NBA, look at the company of players in that draft class…Karl Malone, Chris Mullins, Charles Oakley, #1 Patrick Ewing, Joe Dumars, A.C. Green….etc etc. Those are the who’s who of basketball greatness.
Tisdale and it’s not even close.
Good Morning everyone and BOOMER!
Morning!
SOONER!!!
Morning David! SOONER!!!
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning. SOONER!
It’s kinda like asking who is better, Wilt the Stilt or M. Jordan? Different eras, different styles, different positions, different opponents, etc. Or, “If Mohammed Ali was really the best boxer, why did he back up his entire career?”
Boxer does not necessarily mean slugger.
Ali was a great tactician. He would let you wear yourself out chasing him and throwing wild punches, then he would go in for the kill.
He won close fights based largely on his flamboyant personality in a time when opportunists saw his mouth as being good for their wallets. Ken Norton and a Joe Frazier (in his prime) were better, but they didn’t play to the press. Ali was pure gold in promoting the sport, so this was reflected in the biased score cards. In short, as usual, it’s all about the money. IMHO
I’ve always believed that boxing is a fixed sport. The winners were determined before the matches were ever held. Ali was good for the sport and you are right, he wasn’t the greatest boxer. But he was a great tactician and promoter for the sport.
Frazier and Norton were good punchers, but I wouldn’t call either a great boxer. Norton had that weird cross handed style because they converted him from southpaw. Frazier was good at ducking and fighting in close, but that was his undoing against Foreman. To me, a great boxer would not stand toe to toe with Foreman in his prime. Ali wore him out in a hot environ and when his arms tired, Ali knocked him out. Ali’s poorer fights were after his incarceration and when he was older. THEN it was all about the money. IMHO
Ali’s team also decided the ring floor cushion depth, ring size, and rope tension for the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire, before a virtual home crowd (Islamic). But alas, you are correct, it really was a successful strategy (rope-a-dope) by an aging Ali against a naïve Foreman… interesting that Ali didn’t afford Foreman a rematch, or arrange a lucrative 3 Match deal the way he did with Frazier.
LOL, I wouldn’t want to make a living out of rematches with a prime George Foreman either. I think Ali, in his prime, could fight as well as anyone. Different style, yes, but effective.
Edit: Actually, Marvin Hagler was one of my favorites to watch. Another converted southpaw, who would revert back when the going got tough. Also liked Duran, although the “no mas” fight still mystifies me (payday I suppose).
Ali in his prime?Greatest of all time,absofreakinglutly!!!!!!!!!!!
Ali in his prime was the greatest. And he always told you so too. 🙂
“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.”
TSF, this is not criticism. I just do the intl affairs thingie and it’s important to me that we get the facts right. Zaire, now Congo, is roughly 80% Christian (split prett evenly between Catholics and Protestants) and 10% Muslim (internally divided between several sects).
This was true in the 1970’s as well, though the numbers were more strongly Catholic then.
Islam in Africa hits a wall around the southern edge of the Sahara. Below that line, Christianity and native animism rule. And they defend their turf stoutly.
You are absolutely correct. Long story – short, the Islamic community was more vocal in there support for Ali.
Question- does brother Mike recruit at all? You never see him in any pics or tweets!
Maybe he’s even less photogenic than Bedenbaugh?
Bedenbaugh really does take some rough pictures
I don’t think even Glamor Shots could help Bedenbaugh with his photos! LOL
Just google “Bill Bedenbaugh”, then look at images. It’ll make your day
LOL! I don’t need to. I’ve seen that thing he calls a smile enough.
We need help in identifying John Doe #4. Was he on a morgue slab when this was taken?
Hahahaha
THIS is what you want in an o-line coach. Someone who’s face says, “I’m going to bite you in the face.”
You should catch his stand-up routine at The Laugh Factory. It’s great!
this is what makes him great though. I love his pics.
But he’s a OLine coach. Who do you want coaching the Big Uglies but a Big Ugly?
Right, he don’t have to be purty to do the job!
lol
I heard Bob keeps him in the press box, even in the off season.
I have seem a couple of him with recruits on the trail. Just not very often. I think he is camera shy or something.
And his verbal communication skills = no bueno.
I don’t know how he ever got tabbed as a great recruiter….good thing he has Cooks.
Cooks was spewing fire last night on Twitter. I loved it
Yes
Good morning everyone
Morning Dave!
howdy 76, hows it going?
It’s going better than I deserve. Work’s good, fiance is good. Oklahoma weather has been gorgeous the past few days, going to be in the 60’s the rest of the week. How about you?
Same, it’s a wonderful weekend forecast so I took off Friday
I like the way you think my friend. I want to, but with a wedding coming up, I’ve got about all my vacation time tied up for honeymoon/ moving
Congratulations!
Thank you sir!
Morning!
howdy Sam, how are you today Sir?
I am well. We are one day closer to the chaos ending, that ‘cruitin’ chaos. I don’t think I’m going to check in that day. I have a feeling folks are going to come undone.
What about you? How are you?
Im good, finally beating this cold and as for recruiting if OU gets Kelly, Moore, and Farrar OUr class jumps into the top 15. Not great but certainly decent.
Well, that’ll be an improvement. Trending up. I’ll take it.
plus there is usually a NSD surprise add or two so this isn’t a total loss. plus they are really improving the D in this class.
I’m concerned that there is some negative recruiting regarding OU. We have great tradition. If you look at Bama, Auburn, Georgia, almost any college, take your pick, they face the same location problem as OU. These campuses are located in small towns. There are exceptions: tOSU and Georgia Tech, for example, are located downtown: Columbus, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia. If these kids are chasing a particular atmosphere, how do you explain Georgia Tech not being able to land their choice of recruits. I mean, GT is downtown Atlanta and that’s a beautiful campus with some beautiful Georgia peaches (hint,hint).
Something is not right and Stoops is not playing that game. He’s not wading in the cesspool.
Bob isn’t going to bend rules or pressure kids to improve his recruiting rank
And I like it: lose honestly but don’t win dishonestly.
Yeah, that’s the way it should be
Morning Dave.
howdy Golf, it’s going to be warm enough this weekend to hit a bucket or two of balls
Yes it is, in fact my Dad just drove by my office on the way to the golf course. I’m so jealous!
Yeah that would be awesome to do on a random Wednesday morning
He calls me in the spring and summer every Thursday morning and asks what I am doing and then tells me he is headed to the golf course. Drives me nuts. I want to be retired someday to do that to my kids. LOL
Time to rub it in. I am retired. I live just across the street from the Country Club. I can walk to the club house but I usually drive my golf cart. Don’t know if I’ll be hitting balls today, only up to 49 degrees but we’ll see. Working is tough. Retirement is good.
Hit’em good and not frequently.
Great advice but, regrettably, advice I find very difficult to follow. I can hook a sand wedge off a concrete parking lot.
If that’s your best shot, hit your balls into the parking lot. LOL!
People with cars in the lot complain a lot.
Come out to my neck of the woods and play. There aren’t many cars in the parking lot and we have the best public course in the state of Kansas and probably the third best private course in Kansas.
Very kind of you to invite. Don’t get out that way too often but if you’re ever in North Alabama, let me know
I’d like to get there. That is one of the few states I have never visited.
North Alabama has a lot to offer. One of the top bass lakes in the US (Guntersville). Good deer hunting too. A lot like Eastern Oklahoma. Good people too once you get past the WarEagle/RollTide BS. Huntsville is one of the high tech centers of the US. All the Army missile systems are managed out of here. NASA has a big presence too.
The military assigned me here in the early 70s and I’ve been here since.
Yeah, I actually looked into Huntsville when my wife and I decided we were going to leave Kansas City.
Curious. What turned you off to Huntsville?
My Dad offered to sell his company to us for a very reduced price. I had a good job offer in Tulsa, OK. but the chance to be my own boss was too hard to turn down.
I hear you! Sometimes I can hit the ball down the middle with ease. Other times, I never know where it’s going. UGH!
I’m going to try and squeeze as much as I can into my trip to Norman this year. Should I bring my clubs?
Well that is up to you. I am 5.5 hours from Norman so you will have to plan ahead!
I guess you’re not coming. LOL!
I am planning a trip to Norman for the KU game, as my best friend and his wife are chickenhawk fans and they want to go to the game and spend a day shopping in OKC.
Chickenhawk. LMAO.
I’ve called them that my entire life. Being born and raised in SW Kansas lends you to a certain perspective of things. Growing up it was more Sooner country than anything, now it is a mixed bag of KU, KSU, and OSWho along with a ton of Sooner fans.
Enjoy your youth while you can. Every year I get a bit older and hit the ball a bit shorter. At least I don’t lose as many golf balls now.
Sometimes on our courses you can see your golf ball, but it is a lost ball because there is a rattlesnake close to it. That can be on the fairway too.
Haven’t seen any rattlers on our course. We have a couple of creeks with a few cotton mouth. I’d rather have the rattlers.
So, how do you play the ball? Lost ball is stroke and distance. Do you just take a free drop a few yards away?
Even in some tournaments the will let you drop a ball as close to where yours is with no penalty. The trick is you have to actually find your ball.
LOL! Well I live right off of a golf course. But I haven’t touched my clubs in a few months. Hit ’em straight!
Morning Dave
Morning Metz
seeing more and more predictions for Cobb to Baylor. that’s gross.
from who?
Bobby Burton a whorns247 guy had one yesterday morning
colt barber and brian ethridge as well.
Those were in February of 2015 though
he was, not long ago, predicted 100% OU I thought. did they never change it?
Once a player commits, they don’t change predictions unless it is to predict a flip from the one he committed to. In other words, they can’t change their answer just to be right, they actually have to predict something.
i gotcha.
Both are reporters for the Baylor 247 site.
I know. my point was I don’t think they had that prediction before.
Meh. What do they know: they’ve been right and wrong and wrong and right.
They say if not UT, then better to Baylor than to OU.
Maybe whorn guy is saying Waco instead of OU out of spite since texsa tried and apparently failed to flip him.
If so, we will trudge along without him. If not, he can come win trophies with OU.
Baylor just came out of no where when all along I thought UTerus was the main threat.
I was a little surprised with that too. We’ll see.
Kendall Briles must be dressing up as a lil coed and hitting the trail after these recruits. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
Well, Baylor guys have been known to travel in disguise.
That’s an image I didn’t need in my head. And if recruits are falling that, do we want them?
Don’t fall for click bait. I’ve watched a news report live. Then later see a write up so slanted you would have to call the writer a liar for the way he twisted words. Signing day can’t get here soon enough.
You’re confused. It’s Corn Cobb that’s going to Baylor, not the high school football player.
I appreciate the “No Drama ” approach of people such as Bryce Youngquist and Caleb Kelly, etc.
I’m going to announce my commitment on NSD. #WaitOnIt
I think some of the drama is created by media and organizations. The whole I’m going to announce at the —- game of some sort wasn’t started by the student athlete.
It seems Kelly’s recruiting saga gaining ‘ drama momentum’
If you could choose one position for OU to get a NSD surprise at, which would it be? WR, OT, DT, LB?
Is there a position called “All”?
LOL!
WR. Not even close IMHO.
In order: WR LB DT OT
I like your thinking. 🙂
You may be on to something.
If forced to choose by threat of breaking my arm, I would sing “DT” like a canary.
DT…..come on Daniels!
In a WR heavy offense we only have two HS WR’s coming in and one is listed as an athlete.
AT OT we currently have two freshmen playing and a number of what would should be serviceable backups.
DT we had a big class last year and actually have too many on scholarship if we continue the 3-4.
We already have three LB’s committed. The issue with LB’s seems more lack of experience than lack of bodies.
So, on the whole, I would say WR is probably our biggest need.
I can’t believe I am saying it but House Hunters is straight up addictive. I knew a couple of people that were on House Hunters International.
Get out while you still can. They will hook you on all kinds of shows.
Listen to Zack. Two weeks from now you’ll be looking for DIY projects you can complete in your home.
I love house hunters and hgtv in general
Fixer Upper is where it’s at son! I do like House Hunters but I like Beachfront Bargains better.
My wife eats, drinks and sleeps it.
I enjoy watching for places we’ve lived, like London, Hong Kong or Sao Paulo.
A little concerning Caleb Kelly is posting pictures on Twitter of him out in public with Notre Dame gear on?
It’s all good.
Trolling notre dame. Their writers don’t feel good anymore.
Yes – please!
No. 1 team in the country playing and the LNC looked empty from those posted pics. Sad.
I thought it was a pretty good crowd last night.
What is the seating capacity for LNC vs. Duke’s, Indiana’s, Kansas’ and Kentucky’s arenas?
Syracuse is the largest 33,000.
Kentucky 23,500
UNC 21,750
Duke 9,314
KU 16,300
Indiana 17,472
OU 11,528
Kentucky, 23K. Wow!
Syracuse, meh! That’s all they have in the winter time.
I have been to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. It is a dump in a dumpy area.
Yeah. I heard that Syracuse is not all that it’s made out to be.
I spent three days in that town setting up a computer system. I told my boss if he ever threatened to send me back there I would quit first. It is a city that is a dump. Dirty nasty town.
There was over 8K in the stands, I too, wished it was full, but I am glad the games are getting sold out (some of them) and not looking like it did when the former coach was here.
6pm Tuesday game.
Yeah a 6PM game can be tough for a guy who works 8-5 and has a commute.
THIS! Just an awful time – can’t get there from work, middle of the week, and better games upcoming – all lend to smaller. Still, this seems to be much better than the past regime. Thanks, thanks, and thanks to Lon Kruger.
I just barely made the tip on TV. Made it home and grabbed a quick bite to eat before sitting down to watch it.
I had to miss this one. Grandson had Jr. High and HS games last night plus Homecoming festivities. Got home too late. Don’t like missing, but OUr boys did just fine without me.
Took my grand daughter to her basketball game and recorded the OU game and watched it when I got back from her game. Her team lost but the Sooners won so it’s all good.
The students are going to have to carry the torch for weekday games. Take your girl on a date that includes catching a game, Taco Bell later.
Yes. They really do need to. I am out of touch – How high are student tickets?
They were 5 dollars last night, if I remember correctly.
Less than a movie. I would expect a lot of kids to show for a team this good. Half-a-million years ago when I went to OU, we made it a few times, but we were paying our way through school making money hard to come by; plus the old field house didn’t hold that many – so sometimes there were few seats.
Taco Bell?? I eat there like once a decade.
The last time I was at Taco Bell was on my wedding night, 18 years ago. Everyone knows the bride and groom don’t get to eat at the reception because you’re kissing a** all night. We stopped at a Taco Bell, the car in front of us paid for our meal.
LOL! We went to Arby’s on our wedding night. It was the first food place we came to and we both said it was fine for how hungry we were.
I wasn’t aware that what Taco Bell served was edible.
It’s not! Speaking of Taco Bell I read a thing the other day that said, think your job is bad. Just remember someone has to clean the bathrooms at Taco Bell!
I have my crappy job, AND I have to clean my bathroom after Taco Bell.
Moral of the story, don’t got to taco bell! LOL
Sometimes, it’s a necessary evil. I work late a lot, and it’s easier to access than Whataburger.
Oh man it’s a good time to stock up on peanut butter and jelly then. 🙂
It isn’t. I had rice in my ground beef burrito. All I could think about was eating maggots.
Thank you for that visual. At least I’m not eating lunch. LOL
I aim to please. Besides, I hear maggots have lots of protein.
Maggots probably have more actual meat in them than the “beef.”
Funny. I’m going to be sick.
Sorry, having kids who came from third world countries I am used to non American standards for food. One time I brought home a joke piece of candy called “apple with worm.” It was an apple candy with a caterpillar of some sort in it. One of my asian girls ate it.
I’m postponing lunch for an hour.
I’ll stop. Though I could talk about some of the stuff my mom used to make. She grew up in the Great Depression and let’s just say she didn’t let anything go to waste.
I know. I haven’t eaten chitterlings or maws since I was 10 years old.
From the rooter to the tooter.
Did you read “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair?
If I did I don’t remember it.
I had to read it for U.S. History, Formative. It’s a story about how people took advantage of Irish immigrants. There were some chapters dedicated to meat packing plants. I was cured of processed meats for a while.
It helped bring about the Meat Inspection Act in the early 1900s. Prep and worker conditions were beyond horrid.
Yep: spoiled and rancid meat was tossed back into vats and mixed with fresh meat.
Yummy, yummy deep fried Thai palmetto bugs (that’d be ‘free range’ cockroaches). Crunchy, salty goodness.
The best one was one day when we were at the zoo one of my daughters pointed at a specimen and asked if we had ever had one (ie eaten it). Had to say no. We were in the bat house. Apparently the wings are crunchy when cooked.
Ah, bat on a stick. Big deal in micronesia. Think a pound of jerky on a stick.
My daughter (half Japanese) weirded out folks at the Jenks aquarium by exclaiming as a five year old, while pointing at one of the fish, “Oh man, those are delicious!”
That’s so romantic!
I read a tweet last night that said actual attendance was just over 8K.
Glad to see everyone being calm and reasonable today – I am a little slow because my Secobarbital, Diazepam, Zolpidem cocktail to keep me out until 7:00 AM Feb 3rd, seems to have left me a week short of target. Still, I am positive and ready for a cluster of BOOMS.
LOL! Morning Cush!
Good Morning Golf – and all you guys. Carry on!
Cush, that’s pretty good. That’s something I’d expect Golf to say.
Sam, I have to work hard to follow your example 🙂 🙂 🙂
Enough Diazepam will definitely make it easy for me to influence you.
No way, I’m all natural. Minus a couple of surgeries to repair torn ligaments.
I’m not expecting any Booms before NSD other than maybe the new RB we offered. I think we have filled most of our slots and the rest are either silent commits or NSD waits. I certainly don’t expect a cluster before then.
No chance on Farrar before NSD?
There’s always a chance someone does. I just don’t EXPECT them. Years of managing customer expectations for software has taught me that, if your expectations are on the low end then the delivery is always a pleasant surprise because it usually contains more. However, when expectations are high almost anything that happens is a disappointment.
I’m Looking Forward to Being Disappointed! If you catch my drift, Bob. ;]
What’s the over/under on the number of dots/ellipsis “he-who-must-not-be-named” uses beginning today up to NSD?
I haven’t seen him recently, or has my brain started automatically filtering out anything he posts?
I suspect the latter….:)
YOU know better than that.
actually I haven’t been posting.
I can’t count that high!
So your guess is infinity, correct?
Folks, we have a winner.
Pretty much!
No joke, dude!
Yes. Under promise and over deliver is the best marketing for the long run. But, there’s just (barely) enough kid in me to want some of those good ol’ Booms.
EasTex… We Miss You:
We’ll keep the light on for ya!
LOL, Motel 6… eh?
Is there a Tator Tot convention somewhere?
Count me in!
This place is like a nuclear reactor that’s missing a control rod when EasTex isn’t here.
I guess we just have to keep from going critical until Feb 4th.
I know he said he has a lot going on with family. I hate to sound selfish but it’d sure be nice to see a post from him.
fuller house1!!!!!

Bob, is that you or is it Metzker?
Click on the link and find out.
LOL! You should have said, Do you feel lucky punk? Well, do ya?
It is, but this thread is sure a lot more positive than the posts on the OP.
Yeah, sorry I mentioned it. Another meltdown about nothing that has actually happened.
Yeah, I don’t understand that. Why not stay positive and think positive things will happen. If they turn out against us, then we will move on to the next hurdle.
True that Cush!
I hope bowlsby just sealed our fate. On to bigger and better things.
