    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    I truly believe any program that considers themselves a blue blood would do that. Every OU fan will tell you "the program is bigger than 1 guy" when something like this happens or when we lose a player to some other team. It has been ingrained into us as a collective.

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    If the Unlimited NIL-on-the-side continues then it is a lost cause. The courts have already ruled that the NCAA cannot limit 3rd party NIL payments, and their clearing house cannot deny deals since those get litigated as well. So collective bargaining would have to somehow limit NIL, which is...

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    It has been tough to keep track of rosters in Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Softball over the last 3 years. The portal is fine, but unlimited transfers and immediate eligibility are just awful for the game.

    Obsession (2026)

    I love how they were completely fine with their pay for the work they did....until they saw how much it made. If they thought this movie was going to be so successful then why didn't they forego pay for a share of the profits?

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    This is where I am. I like(d) college football because it wasn't all about the money and it was more about the fans/coaches/players having a similar commitment to the programs. I got really nervous when coaching salaries started to skyrocket because then they started ditching schools for the...

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    I hear you, but I am 100% certain that if the Mateer thing had been anything other than clearly a joke that they would have kicked him of the team. Venables is that kind of coach to a fault, and OU's compliance department saw the toll that those Switzer teams took on the University's image and...

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    I guarantee you that it was exactly the joke he said it was, because my football team has done EXACTLY the thing that you have claimed they wouldn't do and they have done it multiple times. If you actually read the story and were a fan, you know we were all super nervous that there was any...

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    I am actually astounded that a judge would agree that he should be given relief of punishment for violating a defined NCAA rule because it would "impact his future earning potential." The NFL is more hardcore about the integrity thing than the NCAA, and it actually wouldn't surprise me if...

    College Football 2026-2027 Sorsby Finally Won a Bet

    Are you being serious here trying to claim the extra years of eligibility lawsuits are even remotely the same? Chambliss from Ole Miss and Heinecke from OU both sued because they said they had eligibility issues stemming from injuries and should have the extra year. Sorsby bet on his own...

    No. The hate coming at the TTU Administration and Cody Fat-Fuck Campbell has nothing to do with them defending Sorsby and everything to do with them hiding behind gambling as a fucking disease that he is "recovering from" instead of admitting that they made a 6 million dollar gamble on a...

    I guess this is the most important news to kick off the new season thread? If there are any Red Raiders on the board.....your president and AD's statements supporting Sorsby were disgusting and I hope you lose every game.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    My favorite part of his writing was the "we're in a crazy MMORPG where anything can happen" style that the first 5 books really put on display. It has morphed into a universe-spanning political/technological struggle of the crawlers and AI vs. the outside universe. I think you and I liked the...

    I finally broke down and watched the cutscenes of GoW Ragnarok so that I could see the conclusion of the game. Do you know what is inescapable when you just watch some cutscenes? The modern dialogue from all of the characters outside of Kratos and Freya. It is fucking wild how bad the...

    I know Private Equity firms are usually shit for consumers, but in this case I think that it is the best possible outcome from Pizza Hut. Yum has done nothing but destroy every chain they own, so it isn't clear that the normal PE corner cutting and price raising is worse for Pizza Hut's brand...

    They clearly do not understand what made the dialogue in the Norse GoW game so good. It was the worst part about GoW 2 and is obviously going to be the worst part about that game either. I couldn't even fucking finish GoW 2 because the dialogue and quipping were so bad.

    This is all some crazy stuff you have posted, but have you looked into who would or should be held liable? I know we have all heard of Caveat emptor, but isn't that what the signed claim about the condition of the house and the inspector are supposed to confirm? Do you sue the inspector for...

    My guy, why is it even an option inside the RNG? How is chill even a thing when you have 0 resists and no gear? Love of God, the first zone has the frozen Unique that chills as well. I love POE and POE2, but it is obvious that they are retardedly holding onto this idea that they need to...

    For sure, but what if there are 50-100k more ARPG-ers like @Noodleface who would stay, play, and spend money if it the first 5 zones didn't feel worse than punching yourself in the balls?

    I just do not understand why they make the first few zones so punishing. How much faster would it really make league start if they balanced the goddamn mobs around having to hit the player 20 times before death? The fucking league mechanic...the one they want you to interact with because it...

    I just don't see how we can infer anything from random guys posting this data. If you have a face for radio and nothing stands out about your profile then you are going to get those sorts of responses. Those dudes, unfortunately, are going to have to find a different place to meet women. He...

    Go one step further and get a storage unit for a hundred a month and force yourself to put most of your clutter into it. This helps with packing and getting rid of stuff you truly don't need, as well as making pictures and in-person viewing much better. Remember, they don't want to see your...

    Dodd-Frank is one of the worst pieces of shit that was ever vomited out of Congress. He may have good 'political instincts' but his business instincts and his actual morals were garbage and the country is worse off because of him.

    I'm going to be real with you all. I'd be far less angry at the race swap if he would have picked a someone that is actually attractive for the role. Like if Helen in the old Troy movie had been Swordfish-era Hallie Berry, I would have been totally fine with it.

    Amazing that 38 years after the St. Elsewhere "all a dream" ending was considered so divisive for how dumb it made the whole series feel that we are now at a point where writing is so bad that the same exact ending would make the show 100x better.
