Ideally we wouldn’t have to vote for anyone to run the country who believes that he answers to an entity no one else can see or hear. Don’t need delusional idiots in the White House.

I’m concerned that Dana thinks it’s gross that I wouldn’t vote for anyone like that.

Hm, Lawrence is pretty unanimously considered to be a really good college town. I haven't heard anything positive about Gainesville, if I'm being honest.

I don't really like either KU or Mizzou (both are historically terrible and still talk a lot of shite), but it's a fun rivalry to watch because they do not like each other at all.

Only reactionaries and monarchists think the French Revolution wasn’t absolutely necessary. The country was being run into the ground and the nobility and clergy, despite making up around 3% of the country, controlled 80% of the wealth, didn’t pay any taxes and had more voting power than the Third Estate (I.e. the other 97%).

It got out of hand with the Reign of Terror, but that doesn’t change the fact that in 1789, shite had to change. People here talk about out of touch politicians in DC—our situation pales in comparison with the French at that time.

There is no “well, but” excuses explaining away LSU’s win. Any other team dominating Clemson (even in its current state) in that fashion in the first game of a new head coach’s tenure would have their fan base excited.

HowEVAH, I will say that LSU fans do appear to be assuming they have a guaranteed top 5 team. Seems to be a trend with them when they have good performances, feel like they almost relish shite talking more than just watching football. Probably explains why they crash out so hard when their team ends up being shitty.

Yeah, I hope and expect Ohio State beats the hell out of Texas. Would be a great day if we take care of business against 60:01.

Oh yeah, our fanbase knew how huge (and more fun) the SEC move was for us. It’s well-known that the move was almost entirely driven by OU and we convinced Texas to join us.

Not just ratings, either, we had tons of recruits we lost out on because they wanted to play in the best conference. That’s no longer the case.

I'm not disagreeing that Texas in the SEC >>> Texas in the Big 12 in terms of ratings, but to play devil's advocate a bit, Texas has been a lot better the past three seasons than they were in 2013-2022.

So it wasn't just that they were in the Big 12 (though that clearly didn't help), they were also just really shitty and no one wanted to watch them much. I'd argue that the non-conference games from back then (2016 ND, 2019 LSU, 2022 Bama) were high mostly because Texas hadn't imploded yet. I don't expect them to start sucking anytime soon but it'll be interesting to see what ratings a shitty Texas program in the SEC would get.

Eh, I'll always be excited to see OU football. It helps that we're supposed to be pretty good this year.

College football hasn't been innocent for a long, long time. Y'all seem to think players in the past like Cam Newton had loyalty to their school. That's a laugh. They went to the school that either paid them the most under the table or would get them to the NFL the easiest.

They do need to fix the transfer portal / NIL issues that are effectively creating one-year free agents, there's a reason the pro leagues don't let that happen. And they need to stop cramming as many commercials into broadcasts as possible (this is the one thing that will push me away if it keeps getting worse).

Kind of tacky to boo other bands,

…but before the OU/Texas game each band plays. When Texas’s band plays, they march from their half of the Cotton Bowl towards OU’s, and at a certain point when they’re more towards our half of the stadium, they stop and there’s a moment of silence for about 5-10 seconds before they resume. It’s somewhat of a tradition for OU fans to boo during that moment.

Other than that, no, I don’t boo other bands.

Ah shite, last time they did this it was in August 2024 to get ahead of the shitty season they knew we were about to have.

6-6 incoming on the year.
