BBQ, Bourbon, Sooners Football. Sometimes politics, military, international affairs, and disasters.
Sometimes the timeline gives you two bangers back to back and you’ve got to serve them up together.

I get why Oklahoma is such a polarizing choice—we’ve answered the question that literally no one has asked—“But what if Iowa had a bunch of 4 and 5 star players and a QB that you can’t tell if he’s really good or ass?”

Of all the SEC rematches, why must the public be subjected to OU vs Bama again?
December 7, 2025 at 7:26 PM
Man, I’m glad OU didn’t have to play in a conference title game bc we are *so injured*…. But if you do play, don’t get drowned in the toilet.

Bama just should not be in the playoffs, it cheapens the game that there are no consequences and a rematch from November is a bad entertainment product.
The SEC deserves favoritism because it's the best conference in college football by many miles. But you have to draw a line somewhere
this, and seeding them AHEAD of The U is insulting. the favoritism the SEC gets is ridiculous.

probably my most traditionalist opinion about the playoff is that they shouldn’t have set up two regular season rematches

What the hell is going on with these camera angles and zooms in the ACC game?

Sooner Nation is positively levitating right now.
I do sort of enjoy how this CFP forces everyone to get on their knees and beg. Alabama, Texas, nobody’s above it.

Look man, I get why everyone is dunking on this…. But SOE was fucking awesome and I would unapologetically watch a series of tight neo-noir SOE spy thrillers set in the Nazi Occupied Europe.

I think I’d like OU to play Bedlam or Nebraska every Thanksgiving Weekend.

We can play Mizzou the week before, that’s fine.

But would love a OSU/Neb game to end every year.

I’m really looking forward to giving Trump the Akhenaten treatment on all buildings and monuments.
December 4, 2025 at 12:26 AM
All the international stuff suddenly ignoring the domestic situation is a very clear indicator of Trumps weakness. The problem is that it’s also extremely dangerous for nations he perceives he has the ability to bully.

Has anyone considered: solve the Miami and ND conundrum by excluding both of them and putting in Vandy instead.

I love the genre of mid 30’s/early 40’s 3 hacks to retire early.

They all are like 1) don’t spend money on anything; 2) don’t have kids; 3) make $250k a year.

And let me tell you I already do 1, ignoring 2 makes doing 1 impossible, and US household AMI is $84,000 per year.

I’m so proud of my Sooners.

And in the spirit of good sportsmanship I’d also like to wish a hearty GET F’ED to Lincoln Riley and all horns. 😂

My coach is notably not a whiny bitch. Anyone, anywhere, any time. Love it.

But yeah, love to host in Norman!
Asked Brent Venables if #Sooners deserved a home playoff game: “I’d just love an invitation, whether it’s on the road (or wherever). I’ve spent no time looking at that. … They’re not listening to me. … Wherever they ask us to play, we’ll show up."
