Good morning Brainiacs! Let’s get some Booms today and tomorrow!
Good morning, another great day to be a sooner.
Heck yes it is Bird!
absolutely. tomorrow is signing day and then the class of 2016 can be forgotten as we move on to discuss targets for 2017 ! hopefully today is the day for news on the Jones boys, Kelly, and Mayden…..looks like Daniels will stay in Texas, Tupai in Utah, and Jacobs to Missouri……
I’ve been seeing too many of those little clover icons on Kelley’s Twitter the past couple of days. Don’t like it.
I don’t have a twitter account but its been a 50 /50 deal between OU/ND for the last 2-3 wks. Really no surprise which team he signs with……
I bet he’s been all OU the whole time. He has just wanted to make it dramatic till signing day. Not taking the serious interest level in ND seriously.
hopefully, Ryan, you will be proven right tomorrow… OU needs Kelly more than ND does………
Morning 76, how are you today?
About 5 times better than I deserve. Getting married next month! what about you Golf?
I’m good! Congrats! I celebrate 16 blissful years of marriage this month. We got 6 inches of snow last night, so I’m taking off around noon to take my wife around town to run her errands. Seems the city of Garden City, KS does not believe in plowing the streets.
Thanks! Congrats on 16 years!
Now that’s a nice little snow. I’m no expert, but the city plowing it would probably help quite a bit. Around the OKC area we got some rain last night
Yeah, the city believes in cleaning off the “main” roads and that’s it. UGH! So I’ll drive her around this afternoon. My Dad would prefer rain for his wheat, but we will take any drop of moisture we can get at this point.
What turkeys. Yeah gotta get something wet for the wheat.
Congratulations to you both! A good marriage is a true boon.
Thanks!
Congrats
Thanks!
hope you have convinced the fiancé a PRE NUPTIAL agreement is a good idea…no idea if you enter the marriage with financial assets but that certainly protects you and any previous kids ….good luck.
Gotta share this little joke with you about marriage:
The Bride kissed her father and placed something in his hand.
Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride. The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something.
So he announced: “Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the luckiest day of my life.” Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and said, “My daughter has finally returned my Credit Card to me!!!”
The whole audience burst into laughter. But one was in complete silence… The Groom!
That would a whole lot funnier to me if I weren’t the groom……. but I still chuckled haha
Maintaining separate checking accounts works for some couples but not so well for others. In two income households, agreeing to separate accounts helps alleviate spending issues , particularly if the lady has been independent and maintaining her own home. Something you and she might discuss to find her comfort level for keeping some autonomy in regards to the finances…..some ladies find such confidence from their spouse reassuring ; others are too suspicious to ever become comfortable with the dynamics……..
My guess is the pastor who will officiate at the wedding has advised them to discuss finances, as well as other areas that should be discussed.
I thought it was funny. I just give my wife my paycheck anymore. It makes life easier. LOL
Congratulations, SoonerM76!
Remember this: there will be good days and bad days. Some days it will be on auto-pilot and other days when it seems like you have no control. But, you married her because you love her. You have to want for the other person what you want for yourself: if you want to sit down, know that she wants to sit down. If you don’t want to do the dishes, know that she doesn’t want to do the dishes. All of these things have to did together so that resentment doesn’t enter your relationship.
My golden nugget to you is this: it’s not about right or wrong, it’s about harmony. Make sure there is harmony in your marriage.
I’ll add one other piece of unsolicited advice: Marriage is 100/100, both have partners have to give 100% for it to work.
Yes, sir. I completely agree.
Thanks Sam! All good thoughts. Definitely starting to see that humility is a huge word for marriage. Harmony will be big too
Don’t stew on things and let them fester. Talk about things as soon as they occur. Admit when you’re wrong. Raise your hand if you feel wronged.
Learn to say: “When you said this or that, did this or that, I felt this…”
And this: ” I understand how you would feel that way when I did, this or that, when I said this or that, did this or that…”
Sam is giving you some great advice! The other thing I was told when I was first getting married is to learn to not let little things bug you. Say your spouse does some little thing that sometimes annoys you, you have to learn to just ignore that.
Yepper: more good advice from Golf. Everything is not worth it. I prefer peace and quiet, when possible.
That is why I have a TV and she has a TV. I watch football, she watches the Hallmark channel. LOL
You know you watch the Hallmark Channel. C’mon, fess up.
Only around Christmas time. I don’t really have a choice then. Have you not been reading your own advice below? LOL
BOTH Hallmark channels are needed…Some decent stuff on both…..
as long as she understands YOU make the final decisions and honors what YOU decide .
Congrats! Try to outserve her and always be the lead apologizer (even when you don’t feel like it) and you will have a long happy marriage.
Thanks! Definitely good thoughts there
Congrats. Say something nice to her now and then, they really like that stuff. 🙂
Whoaaa…… I have to say nice things???? Come on Ray….. don’t be so demanding 🙂
Compliment here eyes and her smile. That goes a LONG ways!
Congrats.
Thanks!
Oh, one final thing: I hope you know better than to take the marital advice or any advice from he-who-must-not-be-named. If you do, you’ll end up just like him, alone and in your mother’s basement.
I almost replied to some things he said, then decided (wisely, I think) that it was best just left alone. I didn’t see one shred of advice that I thought would strengthen my marriage. So no, not taking advice there.
You’re already on your way. I’m so proud. Sniff..sniff..sniff: no, I’m not crying. I have something in my eye.
Take your time, clear your eyes. It happens
You are wise beyond your years! LOL
Sam : well I am divorced , actually do live alone now, and learned some lessons the hard way, thru court !! I stand by pre-nups as a wise business decision for any couple with existing assets. It offers protection for any guy who may have an existing family and protects those children…Magic 76 can make his own decisions and , hopefully, never live to rue taking the financial precautions mentioned earlier. Hope it works out for him…..
Congrats. Only advice I’ll put forward is to treat her like your best friend. That sentiment goes a long way. Good luck!
Thanks!
sounds good to me…….
Yes! I was waiting.
Good morning Cush!
Top a’ the mornin’ to you Magic!
Morning Cush! Are you responsible for the snow on the ground this morning?
Howdy Golf! As is my “style” – “I know nuuuuuuuuuuuthing!”
Jordan didn’t get the Daily up until almost time I had to leave for work. So I have missed ALL the fun.
BOOMER
SOONER!!!
SOONER!
Boom dela Boom—————-
Morning Metz!
Mornin Golf
Hey, Metzker, ready to sweat out the last 24 hrs prior to LOI ?
Morning Metz! Nice Boom – I’ll take some more.
Please sir, may I have another?!
Missed by two minutes.
Just sitting here thinking about this time tomorrow. Gonna be big.
Morning Ray!
good day to you, golfluvr.
Good morning Stephen.
Morning, Sooner Ray.
Where has your tag-team partner been?
Mornin Sam, no idea where anyone is.
Maybe they will all show up tomorrow.
If I was Seth Russell, I would use Baylor medical staff to get healthy and then declare for the draft. Why take the chance to get hurt in a college game again and not get paid?
Better than being Stidhams backup.
Good morning Sooner Nation! I’m not sure if we get a Boom today, but I’ve got a good feeling about tomorrow and the way it shakes out for the good guys.
i hope the mens team makes a final four run
I hope they make it one game further than that. 🙂
very true hahaha
“I’m the bomb like tick, tick, BOOM!” – 2016 OU recruiting class
I love how we have closed in recruiting, but damn it looks like Texas is about to steal the show tomorrow
5-7, just remember their bowl game, oh wait!
11-14.. no one player drafted in 2014..
Kids make stupid decisions. Just got to let them learn their lesson. Texsa sucks
Amen Bird!
Charlie has convinced them playing for a Black HC / coaching staff will make all the difference…hasn’t helped the past two season but victories over OU and Baylor last season didn’t hurt his sales pitch….
Why? You think they are getting Fowler?
sounds that way…….
Might as well get it over with if it is gonna happen. It has been exhausting listening to their loud mouth WR commit going on and on about their “silent commits”.
I think they, Daniels, Jackson, Giles, Elliot and McCulloch. Maybe on the safety Brandon Jones.
If they somehow pulled off getting OT Hudson from Baylor, that would be huge.
very true , particularly if Hudson flips from Baylor….
I would hate it because it is Texass but it would almost be worth it to think about Briles stress level. Baylor needs that guy.
set to sign C-Giles, Daniels, and the big DT from Houston plus Dontavious Jackson..some sites are predicting Texas will vault all the way into the top 10 by tomorrow evening. that remains to be seen.
Is Southall the big DT from Houston? Trending like he is going to Texas.
No, Texas has recruited over Southall with Giles, Daniels, etc…..not sure Southall fits UT’s scheme anyway.. Southall is small for DT and not as tall as Texas likes their DE’s…..
Interesting, you think they turn him away if he wants to commit?
yes I do, patticularly if the other DT’s sign up ( Daniels, Giles, Elliot, etc)…I don’t think Texas considers Southall as good as the others they are pursuing. All the others are bigger athletes…
Does that mean Southall comes to OU?
yes, because OU can only scrape up the hand me downs. it’s the trickle down affect all over again! Reaganomics! -doing my best SD impersonation
nailed it!
possibly.
You sure no a lot about texas…….hmmmm………
all one has to do is read the various sports sites. You can get the same info as I did………
Oh Stephen, there you go talking up Texas again.
“Steal” is the correct term and very appropriate, as OU is going to beat them like they stole something.
That hasn’t happened the past three years on the field…two losses and a Texas ‘give away’ due to fumbles / pics………OU needs to actually beat up Texas–not just talk about what they are going to do in the RRS…
Morning Sam,Cush Leo,Ray,76
Sam checked out a wee bit early yesterday, as did I. But I was training a new employee. Hope he comes back in this morning to chat.
I’m here. Morning.
Good morning Sam!
Morning, Metzker.
I’m going to have to get work done today because tomorrow is a holiday.
All work and no play makes Sam a dull boy!
Sam must play A LOT then! LOL
And there you go: ribbing me early this morning.
Morning, Golf.
Yes, sir. But, as I said yesterday, I’m not self-employed.
Work Work Work all day long… I can’t remember the rest of that song. Hope it all goes well for ya. I have tomorrow off work, and will be glues to TFB I am sure.
Morning Metz!
Mornin.
Aw, I feel left out.
Mornin David didnt see ya!
I was lurking. How have ya been?
Good just working,hope your keeping safe!
I am, took an extra day off today.
Sweet.
Top a’ the mornin’ Metz!
EasTex are you out there? I’ve got tots! Come on home big boy.
But for real…. haven’t heard from EasTex in about a month of Sundays
One of the last comments I saw from him was that he was thinking about heading out to Oregon to help the good guys. He might be participating in the standoff out there. I sure hope he is ok.
Keep praying for his well-being.
You can count on that!
Can’t wait for tomorrow!! Is there a chance we will over sign tomorrow, and have to ask someone to gray shirt? Looks like we could sign 24-25 tomorrow. Do you think they would ask Youngquist to gray shirt?
Good Tuesday morning fellow Brainiacs. “It’s another great day to be a SOONER” So lets let the commenting begin and i will just sit back and stalk the board today. And maybe make a couple drive-bye comments. They could happen at any time so be prepared.
Good morning 47! I just suck at lurking anymore. I used to be good at it, but I can’t stop typing now. LOL
Morning, Golf
Some folks won’t let you lurk, right Golf?
Morning, 47. No lurking. Contribute or get you buttocks out of here. LOL!
I don’t know if 47 saw you calling me out yesterday or not. LOL
I seen all the yelling he was doing, i was shocked nobody said something about it. Every time i use all caps they are on me like well you know.
LOL! I haven’t called you out for using all caps. In fact, I haven’t called anyone out for using all caps. I thought it was hilarious! I was lurking, and liked one of his comments, next thing I know he’s calling me out. It was all in good humor.
Well we do have some regular comedians on here as you well know.
Yes, yes we do.
It is almost time for another outburst to happen. I can feel it coming.
I’m trying not to be the cause of that! LOL
Football news outburst, or the crazy Braniac poster group (we..um..YOU know who you are)?
Morning, Sam
Dear Lurker’s Anonymous,
It’s been only 12 hours since I last lurked, so please forgive me. I shall post happy thoughts today to make amends. Except, of course, for Texsa.
Thank you.
SO
LOL! Morning Oracle! I haven’t lurked at all today, do I get a chip for that?
HEY, EVERYBODY, GOLF IS HERE!!!!!
LOL! Yeah, and I would lose all of my little white dimpled golf balls today. The golf course is completely white. UGH! I’m ready for summer!
Why yes, of course. Take an extra drink too.
LOL! Will do!
..
rickyyyyyyyyyy! hope you got the reference.
What reference is this that you speak of?
Good Morning!
Morning,David
I always enjoy your first post, and your other ones as well.
I do what i can to help with morale around here.
It shows. Morale is important all year long but especially this week. I think we are in good shape.
That is still up for debate with some. I will not mention no names but if you look they will reveal there self.
Oh I think I know to whom you refer.
For those on Twitter be prepared to see the #KANAIinNORMAN tweets for the next 36 hours.
I’m kinda glad he seemed to blow off those two troll accounts that were bashing on him.
*very glad
It’s a bi product of being all over social media with your recruiting. Just like we see on here – 90% of posters are legit and solid – the rest are fake, trolling fans – yet they still stir the pot alot for such a small group
Some are nameless.
The sad thing is, I believe that one was a real ou fan. I think we really have fans dumb enough to do that.
Why is anyone surprised Texas is signing Blue chippers? That’s what they do every year. Now what will they do with that? Probably nothing, if history has shown us anything.
Even when they had Mack, their talent development is usually just awful. It never ceases to amaze me how little Texsa does with the talent they get, facilities they have, money they have, state they get to recruit in, etc. With all those things I mentioned, they should be finishing in the top 5 every single year…. and yet here they are after a 5-7 season. Beautiful.
3 Big12 titles or something like that.
Exactly. Over two decades and that’s it. The whole time you’re dressed like a dog turd. It’s a joke. Texas sucks.
Large alumni base, richest athletic dept, and good education.
With that said, they go 11-14 in two seasons.
Coach is coaching for his job this season.
They have taken a serious hit in guys getting drafted.
Irrelevant after non-con.
IMO, if I had an offer anywhere else..I wouldn’t go to Texsa. There better schools academically if that’s all you could sell me on… But I’m a football player.. In the end I want to get Drafted.
Players in NFL… Texsa 31.. OU 36..
Texsa sucks
That and a degree from OU would get you a job at 99 percent of the places Texas would. It is just a male organ measuring contest that Texas happens to win with all their money.
Pretty sure they’ve won a Natty since we did.
I’m speaking on the history of the program, not sure you understand.
I’m pretty sure before that one they had to wait like 35 years or so.
Not to be a smartass, but they did kick our ass.
They were also shutout like 24-0 against Iowa State and other atrocities. That RRR outcome still has me scratching my head.
Yup. Which makes our butt-whipping even more painful. Sometimes I wonder about our coaches. We seemed so unmotivated and poorly prepared for saxeT. Our tackling was pathetic. More than a head-scratcher. Down right inexcusable.
Rivals top 250 recruits currently committed before signing day.
This is going to change a lot in the next 24-48 hours
pic below.
Still cannot get over both Oliver and Cleveland sticking with UH. I think Cleveland may flip to Florida though.
So we have more than saxeT. Good. Would Jackson fit into our list?
Just keep in mind that map that shows where most originate. Lots of prejudice with the voters.
Why is it that the Punxaureuabnjf!$@#$#-ney Phil only “sees” what the Dickensian-dressed, creepy guy says he sees? I say we replace the groundhog with a mole. Tell me what he sees now, Billy Wonka: “Here he comes. He sees. He sees, uh. Oh, goodness.”
[Stares out to a silent crowd of anxious fogies, retirees, and grandchildren forced to be there].
“Why, he. He sees an early spring!”
[Child in crowd]: “You lie, mister! How can you…”
“He sees it, okay? Look. No shadow. And there’s his eye. Now scram.”
[Mole’s keeper whispers into man’s ear]: “Sir, I think that’s the anus.”
Just throw on the Bill Murray movie and be done with it. LOL! Morning RR!
Good theme song in that movie..Weatherman, Delbert McClinton.
There are quite a few good things in that movie.
One of my favorite comedies of all time
Mine too. Every time it’s on TV I watch it and my wife tells me how much she hates that movie.
I have a good friend who was Bill Murray’s roommate in college. Funny thing was he talked just like Murray and had the same mannerisms.
Mornin’! To be honest, I’ve never seen that move. Un-American, I know.
Take the time to watch it soon: you won’t regret it
Oh man, you have to check that one out. It’s pretty darn good. It’s not Stripes good, but it’s still worth watching.
Morning R/R. Twas the night before signing day.
And through the TFB thread,
One groundhog was a-stirring.
To put lies in our heads.
Does TX really have a place for all the DTs? Wilbon (committed), Christmas Giles, Daniels, Southall, Elliot and Taylor possible?
They didn’t really sign many on D line last year if I remember correctly. So they may have room but I assume someone signs elsewhere.
The question is, why the heck would Daniels and Southall want to go to UT with that many DT’s being signed? Especially when OU has 0 DT’s right now. That should be common sense.
That was my thinking. I guess if you RS 3 and play three, that makes up for the 0 they got last year.
Another 5-7 season with a fired head coach while we make the playoffs again may have them deeply regretting their decisions. I hope they take that into consideration.
Probably all have been told that they have a chance to start as a freshman. Promoting a pipe dream.
So I heard that my upside down horns moniker is in poor taste?? Really?
How so? It appears to be in the correct orientation to me.
Disrespectful I guess. Glad they got the message clearly:)
Does someone out there on the internet need a tissue? I suppose this was from one of those people who thinks everyone should get a participation trophy? Wow, I happen to like it! it is proper!
I would love a participation trophy
LOL! You get one, and you get one, and you get one…
What do you mean “upside down”? Seems normal to me.
Perhaps they think it’s a uterus.
That is ridiculous, it is awesome.
Love it! Don’t change it for anyone! Especially if they’re a Muslim.
LSU fans….smh….trash.
Agreed. That video was super clear, didn’t leave any room for doubt as to what was said.
but we all know, Buddy Love got the last laugh. I wonder how Dari really felt, seeing how he’s a Sooner Alum and he’s forced to cover the $ec for his job…???? ya know?
What did I miss?
ohhh just some LSU fans chanting “eff you Buddy.” and throwing crap at OUr players.
The LSU fans were pretty crappy during the game, started chanting “FU Buddy”, but not as an abbreviation
Classy. Was Lester leading the chant in the student section?
Corndog in hand.
Too many syllables for Lester.
Are you sure he didn’t say “let’er rip!!!”
About like the Natty game in New Orleans. A lot of drunk slobs running around.
Yup, right there with Tech and the couch burners in WV.
I’ve been to both OU games in Morgantown since WV joined the conference (about a 4-hour drive). Both times, I was treated with nothing but welcoming and respect. I had many people even ask if everyone was treating us right, and many fans–even students–congratulate us on OU’s wins after the games. So I don’t know what your experience with Mountaineers has been, but it’s nothing like mine has been. They have been a welcome and strong add to the conference IMO, and gameday in Morgantown is a great atmosphere.
I think our rivalry has just never taken hold. There are some very bad reports over the years.
My impression is, there is a lot of respect for OU from UWV. They seem to be very glad to have joined the conference and they really like OU. At least that’s what I heard dozens of times in my two game-day experiences 🙂 And anecdotally, it seems like they were the one XII member whose fans I saw on the Sooner boards I frequent throwing support for OU in the football playoff.
So, who knows? Maybe they save their vitriol for Pitt and their fans, and maybe they behave very differently depending on the opponent. But based on my observations of Tech and, especially, LSU fan behavior, they aren’t even in the same league.
I’m glad you were. My sis and her hubby were there twice and both times had beer dumped on them before the game and once after a game OU won. Every school has their clowns but the only gear they had on was a hat and neither of them are rowdy types. The disturbing part was not one person stepped up to defend them. Not cool.
That truly sucks. I was really concerned before the first game having seen the WV fans’ reputation. This was especially true because I was taking my kids (8 and 10 at the time) and if that had been my experience I would not have gone back. I was genuinely surprised, especially that even students were talkative, respectful, and gracious.
It’s hard to understand such different experiences, but I know it happens.
I’d rather spend a month in Morgantown than an hour in B-R (at least on campus). The ONLY time their fans behave is when they are passed-out drunk in their own barf.
Well, I think they did throw trash at our players too. They were trying to live up to the label.
Trash is an understatement. Imagine how that made Buddy’s mom feel. Weak.
Buddy’s mom is a tough as nails gal though. I have a feeling she can stand her own in that crowd and knock a few heads.
I meant imagine how mad that made her – that’s just garbage. Buddy is the most likeable guy ever.
I’m sure it touched a nerve when it happened. After Buddy threw 32 on ’em though, I bet she was as happy as a momma could be!
How cool was it after he hit the 3 late that finally put us ahead – and she was strutting down the stairs dancing and cheering? I’m going tonight. Boomer!
Sooner! Yes, her Big Bad Mama strut was awesome!
I mean, I’m sure she didn’t like it, but she raised several kids by herself in the Bahamas. Dumb college kids have nothing on that.

Did anyone read the article on Boren and Texas? I really just want this crap to be over with, but I am sure it will be huge topic of conversation over the next few weeks.
I did. OU should just pack its bags and leave. Boren knows the the Pac12, B1G, and the SEC won’t take texsa without them giving up the LHN. Boren knows that he wants the Big XII Network which would mean texsa has to give up the LHN. If texsa balks during the conference meetings, I’d take my talents to another conference. Become an Independent if you have to.
Agree. Tuck Fexas!
I completely agree with you Sam!
Even the delusional UT fans I’ve kept up with have given up on the idea they can be an independent.
I honestly think they’d get buried if we went SEC and they had to go far away like the PAC or ACC. Big negative on their recruiting + nobody taking that LHN.
There are a LOT of reasons for OU and Boren to try to make the Big 12 work first. OU is much better off in a Big 12 conference that is working, than any other major conference. I honestly believe that. We’re getting closer to that breaking point, but I think Boren is doing everything he can to fix the Big 12. He doesn’t have to be in a hurry to leave, b/c OU likely isn’t leaving anytime soon, even if we make the decision to leave.
I want the Big 12 to work. And I think it can if we can get the other teams to agree to expansion, adding the CCG, and eventually getting a conference network. Doesn’t seem like much to ask for.
There are not 2 single teams that we could get that I can think of that would increase our value.
And the info I was reading was Cinci and Uconn are the leaders. Really? How does that help the B12?
I was on the fence about it Sam, but I would have to agree now. We have to do what is right for us.
Can’t the conference members together kick out or sanction UT? All football aside, UT is an embarrassment to the conference.

You forgot the crying Indian.
Let me speak for all crying Indians of the world and say that they are more appropriately called “tearful Aboriginals”. Your micro-aggressions oppress their voices which I have subsumed under my own righteous self-appointment.
Wow,you sir are on a roll!
LOL! Yeah, but I’m done now. There will be more time for silly nonsense after Signing Day. Lots and lots of time.
R/R – Okay, we will need to start work on the script for the Braniac Players. Performances around the country with rehearsal at Bob Edwards’ porch (Bob willing, of course. And he will be free to lock the door to said porch and keep a chary eye and a loaded pistol).
I like it, Cush. Let’s pour over some notebooks, lose some much-needed sleep, and get this thang rolling.
I am working at this very moment on the opening song – Spring Time for Texsa. I see dozens of goose-stepping steers…
Hmm, that’s odd. ‘Cause “I Feel Fine.”
ROTFLOL!
Thank you…thank you for being you Robertson.
Exactly.

That’s right. Because an enemy of Groundhog Day is an enemy of #Science! Ha-rumph.
Boys, boys, must we?
Gah. Jed! Just when I drove scissors through my Louisville Slugger (safety scissors, of course — one can never be too careful these days when prepping for needless violence).
Happy Groundhog Day!
Josh Jacobs to Bama is pretty much a done deal right? I do think it would be cool to see an Oklahoma Preps kid tearing up the SEC if we do not get him.
no, no this would not be kewl. he’d be in the sec. lets see an OK preps kid tearing up the sec in bowl games for OUr Sooners. that would be kewl.
Lol I would like to see that as well but we will never have problems having great RB’s so we will be fine regardless.
It’s very likely either Bama or Mizzou, yes
Want to know another reason why Texsa sucks?

Why go to Texsa?… smh
Hot dang Bird that’s some good work. Shows a nice comparison of money made.
Also, I would like any one of their salaries. That is all.
Heck I’d even split one of their salaries with someone.
Much agreed. Of course, with how much money I don’t have right now, I’d appreciate splitting a salary of 10 bucks and a warm beer
I’m going to get you a six-pack of Great Lakes. Which one?
Oh none for me, I’m trying to watch my girlish figure 🙂
Edmund Fitzgerald!
You’ll gain 29 pounds?
Didn’t Edmund Fitzgerald sing “Gordon Lightfoot” years ago?
Always in my fridge!
Aaron colvin continues to play well. Hes due for a big pay day.
Nice work Bird! That is sweet!
That’s impressive stuff. Numbers don’t lie.
Not bad for a bunch of 3*.
BINGO!
Great job! You need to send this to the coaches.
Tweet that with the right hashtag and I’m sure the coaches will see it.
Better start tweeting coaches with that info.
OP is up
My personal choice would be see the Big 12 expand and do whatever they have to do to get Arkansas and Louisville. Add Houston if Texsa wants to leave. I am so sick of what Dodd’s started years ago and that mentality persists to this day.
Arkansas would be fantastic. I’m not so happy ’bout Louisville. I would rather add New Mexico, and trust me, when I say when high tide rolls in, ALL ships in the harbor go up. UT must leave and become independent, they already want to act that way.
Does anyone know what the chances are of Arkansas voluntarily leaving the sec? Not that I’m an insider (far from it), but I have heard nothing but outright rejection, by them, of the notion every time that bringing them in the Big 12 has been brought up. That’s from the inception of the Big 12, through our recent realignment challenges.
Arkansas adds very little.
I’m completely indifferent about Arkansas. I’m just, “Meh…” about them. My question was a response to folks that think for some reason Arkansas will just bail on the sec. Since the formation of the Big 12, a lot of folks have thrown the pigs into the discussion. I have never seen of, nor heard of, any interest from the school or their fans of leaving the sec. We had a better chance of adding FSU and Clemson a few years ago than we ever have of adding Arkansas, in my opinion.
Arkansas will never join the BIG XII. Ever.
I agree. I was just pointing out the lack of interest on Arkansas’s side to someone who said, “Let’s get Arky in expansion.” Every time a Big 12 expansion conversation is made, someone, almost obligatorily, suggests grabbing Arkansas. My point is that I’ve never heard from official or unofficial channels (institution or fans) that there is any interest at all in the pigs leaving the sec.
I’m not advocating picking up Arkansas at all. I’ve never even thought it was a possibility, and therefore never considered the notion.
Texas leaves? The Big12 dissolves. OU can’t be the only flagship in a conference. Bama couldn’t even flagship a conference alone.
Likewise, OU leaves, the BIG XII dissolves.
Texas would have to give up the LHN to leave the Big 12. They either stay in the Big12 or become an independent.
Why would Arkansas leave the best conference in CFB to join this mess? Louisville has a huge buyout and it’s a bad fit for them geographically. Adding Houston would do nothing but help Houston and make Texas that much harder to recruit.
Dodds isn’t the only one to blame in this…..OU was very happy to keep the Big 12 together to get their own deal with Fox. Looked kinda smart until the SEC signed their monster deal.
Even halfway bowled in the stadium looks sexier.
Can’t wait for game day.
