BOOMER!
Sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOONER!
Hey Golf, Whats up?
Hey Birddawg. Not too much. I had a little bit of time this morning and had to stop by my favorite place. How about you, everything going well?
I can’t complain. Had a mini vacation over the weekend .. checked out KC,MO. Distillery tours, bbq etc…
Now back at work playing catch up and staying out of trouble.
I used to live in KCMO. Lived there for almost 20 years. We go back often. My wife’s family lives there as does our youngest son. But it is so humid there I can’t stand it.
It was hot! It must have been the humidity.
I have family that lives in Leawood, Lee’s summit and I have a couple cousins that live on base in Leavenworth.
All mizzou fans. blah..
My wife’s family are all Mizzou fans too. I lived south of Lee’s Summit in Raymore. I worked in Lee’s Summit and Overland Park (for the same company) for a long, long time. And yes it’s the humidity there, it is always high. No place to go to get away from it.
Next time you’re up there…
In downtown KC warehouse district, Tom’s Town Distillery.
Just opened 6 months ago..
If you like Gin or Vodka… A+
They are importing Whiskey right now as they develop their own in the next 9mths
Cool place.
Just a little reminder for today: Texsa sucks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqVfhQXpz9k
haha that’s good.
Haha I enjoy it. That’s what we sing every year at OU vs Texsa when they play their fight song. And we almost always sit in the Texsa section, so they really get to enjoy it
haha Nice!
Dawg!
Metz!
Hoo Haw! I’ve shown this to the grandboys as a teaching tool. Their Nana objects to the language with the little guys, but realizes the lesson is valuable for their future.
Glad to see priorities are being set!
I hope everyone has a great morning!

You ain’t the only one!!

Good morning, Metz!!
Hello Boomers.————-
Doc!!!!!
MEtz
Good article about “who is actually in charge at Baylor.” There is so little leadership right now, and there are a ton of moments that would be hysterically awkward and asinine if this weren’t such a serious thing.
That was actually kind of a scary article. That entire university seems to be in a bit of trouble.
You ain’t lying. Every time you hear a new thing about Baylor, it’s just one more awful thing that makes you hurt for everyone there who was victimized and for everyone there who was innocent throughout
I do not understand why they are so hesitant to dismiss ANYONE associated with the university that was involved in the cover ups. Football should be taking a backseat here and human compassion should be in the forefront. ESPECIALLY for a religious university.
Absolutely true. It’s incredible how little they’re focusing on cleansing the university. And possibly the most incredible part is that they seem to have no clue that everyone else in the nation is looking at them and thinking “What on earth are you doing?” It’s like they think they can just stay quiet and everyone will forget about it.
Exactly! Problems do not go away by ignoring them. They should be addressing them and letting everyone know what is going on. I remember what Bob Stoops did, what 4 – 6 weeks before the season kicked off, when the starting QB and an o-linemen were caught being paid for no work. They were immediately gone. That is how you do these things. You cut out the bad so everyone can heal and move on. I was shocked that someone would even suggest that Briles be brought back. Whoever thinks that is ok, should be put in a straight jacket.
100% agreed. Bob takes care of what needs taken care of. And yeah I cannot even fathom thinking it’s a good idea to reinstate Briles
When you believe yourself to be in possession of the perfect truth and answers to all things, you act in delusional ways.
Very true
Jordan is still amongst the living

man to me, Reagor looks like he’s already maxed out his frame. I understand that size isn’t really his game but still.
Hey morning crew, how goes it
Morning JP!
Morning JP!
Jp!
79 DTG
October 6, 1973 | No. 6 Oklahoma 24, No. 17 Miami 20
In Barry Switzer’s first season as head coach, the Sooners overcame a 20-7 halftime deficit to the Hurricanes by scoring 17 unanswered points in the second half to take the 24-20 victory.
Miami opened up a lead in the first half thanks in part to a !!!79-YARD ELDRIDGE MITCHELL INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN!!! off an option pitch that was intended for OU halfback Tim Welch.
Quarterback Steve Davis scored on a 13-yard run and hit wide receiver Tinker Owens with a 52-yard touchdown pass to put OU ahead for good.
The Hurricanes were haunted by a missed extra point and a missed field goal by kicker Rod Huffman, which proved to be the difference.
No team played the Sooners closer than 17 points the rest of the season, as they finished unbeaten at 10-0-1 in Switzer’s first year in Norman.
Well its 9:27 and as we all know texsa SUCKS———-
The shorthorns suck all the time, and all the time the shorthorns suck!
Welcome home Golf!
Thanks Metz! I’m here for about another five minutes then I have a meeting and then payroll. But it is good being back home! BOOMER SOONER!
Come back soon brother.
Will do. Hopefully in the next week or two!
Go on and testify!
76!
Hey there’s a metz if I’ve ever seen one!
It has been decreed…..
Nice!!!!!!!!!
Mornin’ Metz!
Mornin,Cav
Metz!!!
hOU!!!
Hey, Cav!!
Hey hOUligan!! Good mornin’ to you!
Olorin has always been known for his wisdom.
From middle earth to the present day, he speaks wisdom and truth.
I heard Texsa sucks
I am totally qualified to be the director of a marching band for a major university and spend my fall Saturdays in front of sold-out crowds, but imajus sell used houses instead.
Can we just create a Steppin’ Band with a taste of Stanford thrown in? It’d be unique, interesting and would engage the crowd, unlike the ‘boredom-fest’ we have now.
Alternatively, let’s license alcohol sales and we can all go get a drink while the band’s playing.
I’ll drink to that!
I will NEVER support the sale of alcohol during football games. They are emotionally charged enough as it is…no need to add a match to a pile of TNT that’s drenched in gasoline. Liquored up fans never represent the university well. I don’t want to see us devolve into the typical obnoxious and foul-mouthed, turkey leg-throwing fans in Stoolwater.
Sigh. You’re probably right. Maybe I can just bring some powerful tranquilizers to the game to get me through the band’s ‘performance’. Maybe 6 gms or so of Ketamine. Maybe that might not be enough. Or perhaps just get someone to stike me over the head with a ball peen hammer until blissful oblivion takes the pain away.
Max Weitzenhoffer donates $20-30m = he chose the band director.
That was a difficult half-season of high school-level performances to watch. If the band hadn’t planned to walkout at halftime of a game, I’m not sure he would have been fired.
All the dust hasn’t settled on this yet, either.
I would be happy to see the “PRIDE” come back to the stadium.
Isn’t Max the one who spoke out against Boren and then came back and changed he mind and said they are on the same page?
Yes. He went against Boren because he was mad that Boren let them fire his hand-picked (and unqualified) band director.
The embarrassment over the stolen painting may have had something to do with it, too.
It’s too damn hot!
Whos in charge at Bailor? If they bring Briles back….I suppose he is.
Creed to Kansas State! ! !
http://salina.com/sports/ncaa/creed-commits-to-cats/article_1dd8fa7f-d305-5b3d-9973-4970d9838c9f.html
I thought you meant Creed Humphrey…I was like…what??
Ha! sorry, just thought I’d put a scare in ya! I couldn’t resist.
Haha all good.
Got me too! Well played. Now don’t do that again! 🙂
Why I oughta……….
Oscar, that’s wickedly good.
OK. You are being reported to Sam and will likely be placed on probation alongside Metzimus. While a false commit declaration is not so heinous as a false OP announcement, it is, all the same, a breech of trust on TFB. I expected better from you, Oscar. Now go to your room and think about what you have done, Mr. /s
Uh oh.
I see nothing at all wrong with Oscars post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course you don’t. I don’t either.
I was about to adjust my blood pressure medicine, then I read the article…..
These mind games!!!
Sucked me in.
man outside of Creed Humphrey, it doesn’t sound like any of the guys OU wants will be announcing any time soon….bummer
Gumbs moved his to July sometime I think. At least that’s not too far off.
I was hoping Jordan would put this up in the Other section:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_5NeICHQk
And ‘top o th’ mornin’ to the AM TFB crew. Not much shakin’ in the football news this AM. Getting tired of Bailer talk. Right up there w/ realignment. Nothing good ever comes from either.
Realignment,i havent heard a thing!
It’s like ‘who’s on first’ …. a never ending circular argument.
All I hear is SEC chat.
Chiropractic thing from what I understand. Helps with back(side) pain.
Realignment happens when the original alignment is totally screwed up and needs major repair.
———-
Realignment is the devil.
It is,Bobby.Mornin,Slim
Mornin, the metz!
Morning!
Oskie!!
Oscar!
Morning Metz!
Looks like most of the coffee crew has stopped by. Even a Golf sighting!! Still waiting on Bleed to bring his ‘official’ countdown jersey o’ the day.
I’m lurking the rest of the day, but I stopped in to see if Bleed had his countdown info up yet. Oh well, back to the grind.
Yep,yep, yep. Morning, hOU.
Football Power Index: Sooners #3, aggots #8. Also, anyone believe that Bill Snyder will allow K State to stay at #57? Not me.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings/_/tab/fpi
I dont think hes got much choice. Lots of teams are scouring the juco ranks now, where he made his living at for so many years.
Sooners’ new office features slick Buddy Hield, Blake Griffin posters
Danny Ainge on Buddy: “It went well,” Ainge said by telephone. “I would say there were no real surprises. Buddy Hield is a really good shooter and a hard-working, well-conditioned player. He’s a great kid and a guy that’s ready to step in and play. Very, very, impressive.”
I’d be cool w/ Buddy to Boston. When I followed nba, I was a big Celtic fan. Loved the Celts of the early 80s: Bird, Maxwell, Parrish, Johnson and then they added Ainge. A real magician.
Been a lifelong Celtic fan and would love to see Buddy there (don’t expect it, but would love to see it).
I’ve got an autographed ball from the entire 1984 championship team. It was the only year those 12 guys played together.
No surprise to those who have watched him. Glad to hear all the positives surrounding Buddy’s performance. I’m not a big NBA fan, but I could see myself watching more with both Buddy and Blake in the league.
I wish there were some way to bring him to the Thunder. I’m expecting to win the lottery before that happens, even though I didn’t buy a ticket.
That’s slick
That’s is just awesome, seriously. It’s just crazy to think that Oklahoma has 2 National Player of the Year award recipients in such a short time period.
Funny how the announcement of 3 more title ix cases against baylor coincided with them announcing the vote to bring briles back wasnt even taken.
“STUFF” rolls downhill….
well it needs to roll onto their assistants.
Either there is a part of the story we don’t know (I don’t think this is the case) or there is an inordinate amount of self absorbtion, self delusion and arrogance in the BU admin.
Think its both. Theres got to be a reason they arent releasing the report, and its not because it paints a good picture for them.
That is why they are open checkbooks to the girls. They can hide the report. They can’t hide if it goes to court
Yep, they have already settled at least 1, and will look to do the same on the rest
Oh, I disagree. I think there’s a lot we don’t know. I also believe that one day we will find out Baylor’s been cheating by paying players in multiple sports, not just football.
Yes. Bailor has a lot of skeletons in closets across a lot of sports.
79 DTG – 4 All-Americans wore this number.
Mark Hutson AA 84-87, Mike Vaughan AA 73-76, Bo Bolinger AA 53-55, J.W. Wheeler AA 33-35; Lyndle Byford 77-81
Mark Hutson AA
Mike (USS Vaughan) Vaughan AA
I remember reading a blurb in Sports Illustrated where they asked Donnie Duncan where Vaughn played and Duncan said “right offensive mountain”.
Good choice, BC. When mike was being recruited, I brought a copy of Sooners Illustrated to show my Dad, how big he was. He was huge by standards then, not so much now, but it was a different offense too. Good player, good pick, reminded me of something Dad and I shared in his latter days.
I am glad it brought yOU some good memories.
Bo Bolinger AA

The level of “tone-deafness” at Baylor is astonishing. It’s almost as if they don’t think they did anything wrong, feel like they have been “unfairly singled out,” and just want to do the minimum and hope it all washes away in a few months. imho, They’d better wake up.
So met this couple who have a kid playing at Aledo. Apparently from what they hear, chuck filiaga has mentioned us as his primary school when he has been in town there. Guy here even thought he was a commit to us already based the way chuck has apparently talked. Anyone know what offer status on him is? Are we waiting on him to officially move to Aledo or maybe we just don’t have the shot they think we do?
Spill it KJ, I know you know!
He holds an offer and I’m pretty sure he’s visited once or twice. Not sure where we stand though.
247 shows no offer from us, may be inaccurate. I remember we went to visit him but dont remember him making it to Norman
From the March 25-27 Weekend Update:
“2017 offensive tackle Chuck Filiaga (Murrieta, CA) visited Oklahoma yesterday and afterwards described the trip to TFB as “great.” Filiaga added that he and Bill Bedenbaugh have built a strong relationship, but one of the more interesting parts of the conversation was what Filiaga said partly prompted his interest in OU and this recent visit.
“I’ll be moving to Texas, and Oklahoma is right there next to us. It was a great choice to visit OU.”
Filiaga doesn’t seem to be nearing a decision saying, “I’ll be exploring all my options, and I’ll be visiting Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, Baylor & TCU.” Filiaga added that he plans on transferring to Aledo High School in Texas, which will obviously give OU a proximity advantage they didn’t have when Filiaga was still in California.”
You’re right — we sent coaches to visit but he wasn’t at school the day we visited apparently.
Thanks man. Curious why no offer, assuming 247 is accurate, either way I found that encouraging to hear.
Scout and Rivals both say he has an offer. Not sure why 247 doesn’t reflect one.
Thank u sir
Happy to help. He was one that I was keeping any eye on too.
He’s one of the top Offensive tackles in the Country. He has a offer from OU and visited us back in the spring.
Yea, apparently 247 is wrong.
Good news is sounds like we are right in the middle of it
…. Filiaga was one of the top OL at the 5 star and held his own w/ Big Marv …
Gotta get this big cat to Norman and into the Crimson and Cream.
OK…so I screwed that up. Lol

Break out the popcorn. This should be interesting to watch, in the coming years.
http://i.imgur.com/gIZv6.gif
Baylor has never been interesting to watch for me. This situation just nauseates me in every way.
Wonder if hes fired with cause, if he still gets “guaranteed” money.
If not, i think settling would be the way to go, especially if they are willing to give you 20 million.
I heard bu wanted to settle his contract for $5 million which is why he’s p.o.’d
Because nobody at the age of 60 and under investigation can live off of 5 million dollars!! /s
I d give it a try!
I might have to cut back my lifestyle. /s However, if they would just send me the check I would be willing to start trying right away.
I don’t know, by the time all the lawsuits are done, he may never get to keep another dollar he makes for the rest of his life.
hmm, i had heard they were willing to do half, which is 20. No telling what the truth is with those guys.
20… are you kidding me… ?!?
Heres 20 million for allowing the cesspool to fester and rot under your watch.
That’s a disgrace
Yes this looks more like a play for the money than actual reinstatement. He’s basically saying “pay me or we air all the dirty laundry.” Since his reputations is pretty much damaged beyond repair it’s not going to hurt him, but the board and the rest of organization has plenty to lose.
I believe you are 100% correct. He is wanting “hush money”
And once again the Bailer admin has misplayed this, since now everyone is going to know it’s hush money.
You would think that he has not spent all the 6M a year he has been making.
I think he is posturing for more money. I wish let him sue all he wants. Since he is Baylor’s Moses, he will probably end with 20M – 30M
He is probably working to get more than that…with all these civil lawsuits coming his way he is going to need to have some funds.
True, but it could be risky. Might not be that hard to prove they had cause to fire him.
Oh, they probably have cause, but that’s probably not what is going on. In order to prove that they have to put people on the stand and provide documentation. That means Briles get’s to ask questions and the Bailer admin probably doesn’t want those questions asked. He probably loses in court, but going to court may cost Bailer more in the long run than paying him off.
True, they’d rather settle than have all their secrets revealed.
True, they’d rather settle than have all their secrets revealed.
When you make a deal with the devil you make your life a living hell.
Good luck Baylor…/s
This isn’t about the money. This is about Briles trying to keep is name clean. He is fighting to establish that he didn’t do anything that should have gotten him fired so that he might have a chance of getting another job.
Thanks, Rick.
This is good stuff.
So does anyone know what ever happened to Bryce Youngquist? Did any news ever emerge as to why he didn’t sign in February or what his deal is moving forward?
It’s a big mystery nobody understands.
And I am OK with that and want to honor the wishes of his family. I appreciate that OU has apparently handled this well.
Yep, people on the Internet get frustrated because the think they have a right to know every bit of even a minor celebrity’s life. But they don’t. Our coaches have done the right thing by the kid, respected his wishes and not commented.
The rumor I heard was “serious health issue” or “serious family issue.”
He listed the reasons as personal and, as far as we know, is not playing anywhere. There is speculation that it is some sort of medical condition, but that is merely speculation. As far as going forward, he would be free to go wherever he wants since he never actually signed a letter of intent.
—————–
Thinking about the upcoming season I started to think about what was the best game between us and each of this year’s opponents. Neither Houston nor ULM have played us close in the few games we have played. But then we come to tOSU.
The date is September 24 1977. The place Columbus Ohio. The first three quarters were back and forth, but Oklahoma finds themselves down by eight going into the fourth quarter. With less than a minute to play, OU scores to drop the margin to two, but OSU stops them on the two point try. After a successful onside kick the Sooners manage to drive to the OSU 23 yard line with six seconds remaining. Then came the play known forever in Sooner lore as “The Kick.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbjD8QWlKtU
My favorite part of “the kick” was when he directed the crowd in “block that kick” chant.
My favorite was when they interviewed Uwe after the game. They asked why he directed the crowed in “block that kick”. He said: “I kick better under pressure.”
BTW, I have a friend who is a tOSU fan. He says that to this day, he hates Uwe. Fully intend to send him a video of “The Kick” just prior to the game.
Did Woody punch anybody that game?
Bwahahaha
One of my first great memories. I was in Jr high and remember watching it live on TV. If I were to jump up and down now like I did when he made that kick, I wOUld probably pass OUt.
Breaking news:
The offseason sucks.
Fall practice can’t get here fast enough.
Thanks Mal, I was wondering why I wasn’t myself. 🙂

Haha! I almost spit my lunch out! There’s a song like that out there for that situation right? lol I’ll try to put it up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAmOWCwnQJI
I always thought the song below was pretty funny.
Great song!
Now you need to shuffle the list up some more.
I’m cracking up, while posting this because I can see your eyes rolling to the back of your head. “Geez, Sam! F**k you, Sam.”
I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know where you ended up 47,sorry.
It is all good!! At least I made the list.

Sweet!! Thanks Metz!!!
Get ready for a lifetime memorable weekend.
I’ll try lol.
Congratulations.
Appreciate it, Rocket!
Just be sure and not leave your clothes lying where ever you take them off, for some reason they don’t like that!!! Congrats.
Chopped liver again!!!!
Congratulations, 92.
Don’t take marital advice from single people, those who have divorced and not remarried, those who have been married and divorced multiple times, and those who are married but not married to you.
Sound advice, Sam. I’m going to rely on taking advice/orders from one person and see how far that gets me.
@#$$#@@# you Sam!
Don’t be sad if you ever get metzvorced! ?
I could have used that in front of the judges both times,lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats buddy! Just one little phrase to always remember…. “Happy wife, happy life.”
Thanks, Doobie! I’ve been trying to live by that the last few years lol. She understands my crazy fandom with the Sooners, Steelers and Pirates so I think we’ll be all right.
And don’t take any advice from anybody named Sam or Ray.
I never planned on it! /sssssss
Just don’t metzup & hopefully there will be few bumps in the road. Oh & congrats!
I will give the advice I was given at my wedding:
If you find yourself in a disagreement with your wife, you can either be right or you can be happy. The choice is yours.
Yeah, I’m not too fond of the couch life lol.
Congratz 92. May yOUr lives together be long and blessed.
With all of the well wishes that you guys have been sending OUr way there’s no way that we won’t be blessed!
Hey, congrats on the upcoming matrimonial vows. May they be lifelong!!
Appreciate it, Slim!
Congrats 92! Best wishes on the wedding and the future!
Thanks Cav!
My simple advice to you is DO NOT under any circumstances, marry my first wife. You will be sooooo sorry. That is all.
Oh, and congrats!
Got it lol. Stay away from #1!!
Congrats!
Other than Sundays, Tyrese has been grinding to be the best. Weight lifting in the mornings and workouts with B. Braxton in the afternoons. Proud to see him wanting it, putting in the necessary work and best of all never complaining. With traits like those your setting yourself up for success.

Check out @iBOOMiSOON’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/iBOOMiSOON/status/743499810246787072?s=09
Love that dedication!! Can’t wait to see him in God’s country playing for our beloved Sooners!! Get you some Tyrese!!
That is just impressive. Really glad for the kid striving to keep getting better and better. Seems like other than his skill level another thing that he will bring is leadership.
That’s one of his goals, to be leader of the Oline one day. Trent Williams is mentoring him as well. So he will have the support around him, just have to want it more than the others.
Does he know what number he’s going to wear, or wants to wear? I have always thought it would be cool and would give the young men added ties to the University to know a little about the men who’d worn the same number going back to the beginning of OU Football. I’d be happy to do a little digging for your bro on this front.
You know that’s a good point that I never thought of. Learn about your history. Currently he’s always used #62. So I’m sure he would prefer that number, but he’s so humble he will gladly wear any number and turn into something special for his self.
It’s something I’ve thought would be a nice project for some group like ours to undertake, but I have little to no contact with current generation players. Who knows? It might be possible to arrange a handshake with former #62’s, or something of that nature.
Lemme nose around and see what comes up.
A quick look at last years roster and I don’t think we had a 62. Maybe he will get the number he wants
TRob, they’re working me like a dog today. I’ll check this out later. Thanks for posting.
I know the feeling. It’s all good, Sam.
Putting in the work, young man. Nicely done. Sooner Nation can’t wait to see you on the field.

Thanks T Rob!
Folks need to understand the difference between want and need. Like I want a summer body, but I need a fat double cheeseburger with tator tots.
The compromise would be a single cheeseburger with two pieces of cheese and tots!!!
And of course, a Diet Coke.
But, but. I don’t want a Diet Coke!!!
Whatttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cold beer, non 3.2 type.
Heck. If Im bustin’ my ‘summer body’ diet w/ a double cheese and tots..might as well go w/ the chocolate malt, too.
Mmmm…that sounds good.
agree with 737. That does sound good.
I couldn’t bring myself to ruin a splendid bounty like that with a Diet Anything! Give me the real deal!
Reminds me of East Tex. What happened to that guy?
Sitting here thinking about what would make the off season a little more bearable. A couple of things come to mind, perhaps another story from robertson/robertson, an EasTex sighting and of course some more “Denzel BOOMS”
Could really go for any or all three of those options!! Just waitin on it.
Well you know what they say, waiting is the hardest part. They also say the best things come to those who wait. So take your pick.
Esp #2. Worried about that guy. As far as Denzel, think it was Bleed that posted something like 235 days till NSD. So not many ‘BOOMs’ left.
Damnit man!!! Had to go off and ruin it didn’t ya!!!!
Sorry. My OCD kicked in.
Do you hit F5 three times before replying to anyone?
I’m trying the transition to Mac so no F5 anymore. C + R but it’s not the same.
It’s CDO, which is in ALPHABETICAL ORDER AS IT SHOULD BE.
Yeah we are looking at an average of only one every three weeks or so.
I just went to look for EasTex, unless I did something wrong, I don’t think he has the EasTex account on Disqus anymore. I hope I’m wrong. I went to look and there is an eastex with 1 post. I didn’t see an EasTex
https://disqus.com/by/disqus_UrrKRweCfL/comments/
Thanks Bob, glad I was wrong. I had read that you use the url with a “/” followed by the username, came back empty.
That works, except you can set a display name in your profile that is different than your disqus username. His username is disqus_UrrKRweCfL but his display name is EasTex.
Still…troubling that there have been zero disqus posts by a man that was a prolific poster. Thanks for checking, Bob.
Well you can always go reply to some of his old comments. If his account is setup to send emails when someone replies to him, you might get a response.
Done and done. Seems others have tried w/ no response but reaching out, again. Hoping for a response. Thanks.
Did you post a tot picture?
Hoping he will. It’s kinda his signature thing.
EasTex is the one that would be the best! I really am concerned about why it has been this long since a sighting. He was always a regular. Someone who was here from almost the beginning.
YES YES YES YES! There is now a blocking feature! Awesome!!!
???? What is this you speak of?
Goto the upside down arrow beside a user & press it to see an option to block. You can also go to user profile & block said user completely.
Wonder if it will show when people reply to said blocked user. That’s usually problem with blocking a user, you can block them but then a bunch of people respond to them.
I know who to test it on.
But I like you Sam.
LOL!
Sam im leaving in 1 hour.
No you, my friend. Not you. You know who it is.
Rhymes with leavin’ hell
Good one Jp,did Cheryl teach you that?
Yes among MANY other things I cannot speak of on here
Oh, Saammmmm….. did you scroll down to the start and see what Oscar did?? Just sayin’…..
I will check it out.
Okay, hOUligan. I can’t find it. Can you post it, whatever Oscar did.
No big thing and not a rat but in the interest of fairness… Metz made a faux OP up… Oscar posted Creed committed to K-St falsely. Actually, there was a Creed that committed to the cats, just not Creed Humphrey from Shawnee. Got a few hearts racing. You ‘be the judge’.
I saw what he did. I called it “wickedly good.”
Lol. That it was. Got me!!
Thats just great,thanks for sharing,72.Now i will just have to type to myself!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not enough upvotes! Lol! ? ? ? 9
Id spolar those 2 on your avatar
Not everyone will block you. But can we block selective posts such as faux OP posts?! 🙂
Hmmmm, going to have to create an extra account!
We will still know who you are. Hiding is futile.
There are only 2 upside down aarows that i see. Is it the one bye edit, or the one on the far right when you scroll over said poster?
(EDIT: never mind found it)
Click the down arrow when you bring your mouse over the comment made ..
OOPS!! I think you just blocked me.. Ha Ha!
On the right-hand side of a user’s post there is a “-” and a down arrow.
Got it!!
Wow. Right you are!! Really only 1 right now but will come in handy if TroyBoy whatever incarnation shows up again. Sometimes I actually get a kick out of HWMNBN…picturing him in his basement. Think the guy has more issues than friends.
Ok fellow TFB’s, help me out. I am a season ticket holder. My wife gets a employee discount so its the best thing ever lol. I need help with a question I have. Lets say come Week 3 when the Buckeyes come to town both teams are undefeated. Tickets will be extremely hard to get. Is it legal to sell my tickets for more than face value? I’m a die hard Sooner fan but I rather use the $$$ I get and go to the OU/texsa game. I know an OU/Ohio State is a game I shouldn’t sell tickets too but I am not rich and honestly love going to the OU/texsa game every year. LOL. hope one of you guys can help me out.
I actually need 2 tickets. How much?
Shoot me an offer. They are in the North Endzone lower level. So you will be looking at the brand new Jumbotron in front of you lol. 2 tickets by the way
Do I get a Birthday discount. Of course it is the day after the game, but it still counts right?
HAHA yes sir just because we both know the Thompsons haha
Seriously, I just posted a ? the other day about needing tickets. Would love for my wife to go to that game with me. It’s the best when your wife is as hard core SOONER fan as you are!!! I have taken her to all of her OU games.
Amen to this brother. My wife never liked football. I would always go with friends when we dated and once we got married and she got me the OU employee discount, she began to go with me all the time. haha lets just say she likes the games but LOVES Campus Corner more. Hurtz Donuts, Picklemens and etc. Its awesome when you can go with someone you love more than anything. She enjoys games now.
Mine loves Campus corner as well. We will have to get together one of these days and meet!!
Sounds like a plan.
So does your wife work for OU?
Yes. She’s a nurse at the Stephenson Cancer Center next to OU Medical Center. It’s an OU employer. I told her when I realized she got a discount that I thought I was the luckiest man when I married her but when I found out she gets half off for season tickets I told her I love her more hahaha
That is awesome!!! I work right down the road off of Main St. in Downtown. Actually have a cousin who is an OU Police officer. Maybe I need to talk to her about those discounts, seeing as she is a Poke fan. I can put that discount to use for her. She usually gets to work the Football games. Lucky her!!!
Yea dude. Take advantage of the employee discount haha
My wife likes to go too, but just to socialize and people watch. And the food…
Mines the 14th, I get one too!
Lol haha we will have a bidding war
I think that’s what he wants, he tricked us with is seemingly innocent post
Seriously?? The 9th? Mine too!! An OU win over the hated whorns has been my b-day wish every year since I was about 8. That’s a lot of years!!
Oh, I thought we was talking tOSU mines the 18th!!!
UR right. Got RRR on my mind, now.
It stays on mine.
Tough one. Me, I’d rather be Home Field watching OU pound tOsu and Urban pout than sit in the Cotton Bowl but then … watching little whorns cry is bliss, too.
I’ve gone a whole lot of home games and I love it. But something about the Cotton Bowl atmosphere makes me love it a little more. I went to games when we played Notre Dame, Florida State, and Tennessee so that is why I really am not hesitant to sell these
I’ll never go back to the Cotton Bowl. My first and only trip was in ’13 and we laid a turd on the field. I must have jinxed us so I can’t chance that again.
hahaha that was my first year as well man. I love it.
Man…I’m so glad I didn’t give in to an idea like that! My first Cotton Bowl trip was in 1990. Cale Gundy’s freshman year. Texass squeaked out a 1 point victory. My next trip was in ’95, my freshman year at OU. That was the Smellyburger season. We go into half time with a 24 point deficit, and finish the game tied 24-24. Jeremy Alexander almost nailed a 45 yarder to give us the win. Before 2011, I had never been to the Cotton Bowl and watched OU win. That year I was rewarded with the 55-17 beat down of the whorns. That left me glad I decided to go and try again!
The RRR is on my bucket list. Cant wait to see that one either.
Put it like this man. I’ve been to about 20 home games and love going to Norman for the games but in my opinion there is nothing like the cotton bowl. 3 years ago was my first time going and I’ve gone ever since lol
Could have went when I was about 10-11. Charles had left some tickets at Mrs. Kaubins (Kori’s Mom) house on the kitchen table. Was told if you can find a way to go there yours. Of course being that young there was no way my Mom was going to let me go bye myself. Also, It would have been to far of a walk!!
HAHA. I will keep you in mind when its time to sell them. I will post them here on TFB when its that time. I wont be charging and arm and a leg but I will be wanting some type of profit haha.
Of course. No worries!!!
How much u want for them? Seriously I need some
Shoot me an offer.
What section?
Wanted to call first dibs but 47 beat me to it.
haha I may just hold off on selling them til the week of the game. I may be able to get more money then than now. Or, something may go wrong and I may get more now then later. lol Who knows man. If the offer is good I’ll sell them now
Lol, u see how many went crazy when u mentioned, now u seeing the $$$$$$
Amen brother lol. Didn’t know it was that much of a hot item
Probably, Only the best game of the year!! As Cuba would say “Show me the money”!!!
I’m a bit worried. Got the plane tickets but no game tickets!
For Texas? Will not be a problem at all once you’re inside the fairgrounds. Guarantee it.
No, tOSU
Gotcha’.
My tickets last yr were in section 34row 60. I am aiming this year to get them in the north endzone between sections 11 and 24. Looking right at the new screen. Will know for sure next week
You will find tickets believe me. Notre Dame was the craziest game ever and even then, my friends found tickets
This should make you happy

Go ahead, I ain’t selling mine.
Haha I can respect that.
From what i can find online, you can resell for over face value, except at the venue itself, theres a “buffer zone” around the venue.
lol awesome. Thanks. Guess I will sell them for a little more then.
Yep, no problem. Doubt that will be an issue, those tickets will be hot, hot, hot!
I am beginning to pray that the tickets go for over 500 each haha
Depending on the seat, it wouldn’t surprise me. It’s hard to find crappie seats vs a decent opponent for under 100
I think you will find NEZ tickets are from $290 – $400 range now and will go up.
EBay works well
I think there is still an ordinance in OKC, but I don’t think there is an Oklahoma law anymore.
Filiaga update
Dude here said all he has seen and heard around him is that he is all OU. Hope he’s right.
I’ll be puttin in work tonight with this guy so we should see a BOOM soon /s
Who needs OP when u have this type of intel
Sweet. Keep us posted w/ any open news on Filiaga.
Thanks for the info Jp. Its greatly appreciated.
Just leave Cheryl at the beach ill keep her busy!
Um, who do u think will have the most influence on this guy? I need her for this!
True,my bad!
Wrap him up, JP!
I got this! Ima closer!
Man Jp, you’re the real MVP.
I was just remembering when Perine committed and even after he arrived on campus how most assumed he would be moved to fullback or h-back. Hahahahahaha how stupid were we!
“Stupid is as stupid does”. LOL. Now we know Optimus can play anywhere he wants to! What a lucky day for OUr team when he signed up.
With arms like he has, he just stands where he wants to, and moves the other players where he thinks they should be!

SOONER!
SOONER
I just realized that I was on the list. Cool!
Welcome to the cool kids club 🙂
Haha…thank you.
If your are out of here, should we expect an OP?
Man that was too much work
He has it easy. I have the hard work and heavy lifting.
You need to rearrange it so that the first letter in each name spells out There is Only One Oklahoma, and Texsa sucks.
That would leave me off the list. I’m cool with that.
What’s up, my friend?
I’m so glad man invented air conditioning.
Though if we had someone name theWind the two of you would make it in a list of Kansas songs.
Have a great and safe one!
Hasta Metz. Have a cold one for me.
Later on, goof!
All I need is my assignment, theme, storyline, theme to write this entry.
It’s beer time for me too, have a good one.
I got a COLD sam adams at home waiting for me after this long day!
See ya!!! I will have mine after I get home from class!!!
Later, SoonerRay.

Good news!! Lubbock Texas will most likely be sucked into the giant Wink sinkhole complex when it gives way in the next few years. I look forward to water skiing on Lubbock Lake!
You saying im doomed?
Not you Mezt. You’ll probably do a “Superman” and fly out of danger!

All you need to know about Buddy Heild. “I’m going to buy my mom a house and put money back into the church. Give back to God.”
What’s the link to the poll that ranks the dirty football programs? It was posted by a user last week I think I am having a hard time finding it. If I am not mistaken, Tennessee was at/near the top. I have a co-worker from Tennessee who is claiming they haven’t had an arrest in 15 mo’s. Please help!
