I’ve always tried to stick with the viewpoint that bad calls happen and things typically even out. Tonight’s Alabama game followed by Bedlam 2021 has me rethinking that. I can’t recall another time when the broadcast booth and the official on call watched a play and all believed the on-the-field...
For some reason, my account had locked me out and I could not get it reset. Suddenly, today it works.
So, if anyone is on here still, what’s been happening?
How disappointed/happy are you with the first three games? The Tulane game was disappointing, the WCU game was as expected, and the...
I get that BUT what killed me is all season, from the tOSU win, every week ESPN and Fox have been looking for someone other than Baker to give the Heisman to. "Saquon Barkley is clearly the best player in college football" or "Yeah, Sam Darnold has thrown a hell of a lot of picks but he's...
Ok, so I'm not normally an "Everyone hates OU" kinda guy. I get that ESPN is in the SEC's pocket and I don't expect much from them. But two things in the past weeks just really got under my skin.
First, Saturday's commentators, Brian Greise and Steve Levy, were horrible. Their comments...
I had two friends eating breakfast at Jimmy's Egg in Moore on game day and saw here there, decked out in that exact outfit. They were texting all of us, trying not to bother Ms. Chenowith and all. Very cool.
I was in the middle of nowhere in Oregon. No cell service and only satellite radio. Suddenly my phone started dinging (we hit a pocket of cell coverage). My wife shouted "NO F(@*ING WAY"! That's how I found out. I got to thinking about it. The wife and I met in 1999 and married in...
Yeah, when realignment first happened and it looked like the Big XII would break up, I was upset. I kinda liked the opponents we had. But after the greed fest and the shitty leadership of Bowlsby, I'm done. If it falls apart, I'm ok with where ever we end up.
Is he gone? I know there are no details yet but assault, battery, public intox and interference (I'm guessing with a police officer), will he get the boot? After whatever caused him to miss the whole Tulsa game and his missed court date in December I'd have to imagine Bob's leash was pretty short.
it would be easy to say that, without Briles, the Bears go back in the toilet.
Even if they get a good, Briles-like clone in place, the loss of commits and recruits will drag the program down for a year or two.
And why was it just Briles? Why not the AD and President?
I'm a fan of the OU men and women's gymnastics. As a student in the mid 2000s, we got into the National Championship for free at the LNC. It was awesome! I'm always keeping an eye on the gymnasts.
On a related but totally unrelated topic, at Disney's Animal Kindgom in Orlando, there is a...
I miss Big Eds.
The 15th St Grill's "The Thing", an onion burger, two patties, two cheese, smothered in chili!! I don't know if the Grill is still even there, in Midwest City. While I was still in the Air Force, it was THE place for a group of us, once a week.
The Garage is really good...
Exactly my thoughts on Sanchez. Yeah, he could be fun to watch OR he could make me pull my hair out. I think leaving is a mistake. Day 2 pick, I'd guess. If that.
Okay, so, sooner78wakeboard posts the link to a great story about what a great guy Switzer is, how he's always welcoming to fans just showing up.
I go to google, looking for an address where I can mail the book. I find a fan mail address in Norman. Long story short, I go to that address and...
Ok, the wife has a copy of "Bootlegger's Boy". We have been trying to catch The King, Coach Switzer, at any number of events to get him to sign it. It hasn't happened but I just read an article that says you can actually call and make an appointment to meet Barry at his house and he'll sign...
Yeah, I'd read that. He needed to pay the danged ticket (says the man who has an unpaid one sitting on his front seat...yeah, yeah, Norman, I'll get you your $50!)
Ok, so I'm thinking about cutting the cable cord. Looking at the various streaming services, etc. Here's where it jumps back on topic.
What about football? I know the ESPN app streams football (that's how I kept up with Championship Saturday) but does anyone here use the ESPN/Fox/CBS/NBC...
