    The sick *****’s school reported him for threatening a mass shooting and other obvious cry for help behaviors. Yet he could still purchase rifles and body armor? He can’t even own a handgun legally in this state. Lot of inconsistencies.

     

    I wish firearms advocates would step up and help craft legislation that actually makes sense. Instead we get a lot of digging in and slippery slope fear mongering. 
     

    There were plenty of red flags. 

     

    Rifle are legal for anyone over the age of 18, who doesn't have a record. 

     

    As a firm supporter of the 2A (I own a large number of firearms and don't believe we should be restricted on the type of firearms we can buy)... I don't know what the answer is. I served in the military and strongly feel if you can die for your country in battle, you should be allowed to own a gun. 99.9999% of gun owners never commit a violent crime. There has been studies (one from Florida in particular) that show legal conceal license owners commit violent crimes at a MUCH lower rate than your regular citizen. 

     

    There are over 400 million firearms in the country right now. Very few are ever used to commit crime. So do we punish the vast majority for the actions of the very few? Should I not be allowed to own an AR-15 because of this evil racist in Buffalo? Again, not sure what the answer is right now. Many people believe that the AR platform has no other use put to kill people... which is not true, at all. It's one of the most popular hunting platforms today. I live in Southern Oklahoma and we all use AR-type rifles to hunt. 

     

    As a mental health professional (LPC) I believe that the root of this is our society and how things have changed socially. When I grew up, you rarely heard of anything like this taking place. I remember hearing about the Austin bell tower shooting, as told by my dad who was in HS at the time. When I was in high school, we had gun racks in our trucks. Our HS principle actually started having us bring our rifles inside, put them unloaded in his office, until school was out (there were a few cars broken into). Society changed. Social media has taken such a toll on our kids, society in general... and for the worse. 

     

    Again, I don't have the answers but don't pretend gun owners or 'firearm advocates' are the problem. We aren't.

    They went head to head in 2020 with Breece out rushing him. Breece had 20 carries for 185 and a TD. Chuba had 25 carries for 139 and a TD

    😬🤐

    Yea... because Chuba and Hall were playing defense against each other 🙄

     

    For one thing, Hubbard wasn't the same in 2020. He went from rushing for 2,000+ yards in2019 to under 700 (had injuries all season). I never said Hall wasn't good, I just said I thought Hubbard was better and wouldn't take a chance on drafting him. 

     

     

  3. Steeler fans are the worst fans in the NFL. I'm an Oklahoma State guy so naturally a huge Mason Rudolph fan.... they all clamored for Hodges after Mason came back from him being knocked out against the Ravens early that 2019 season. I kept telling them, it's not the QB... Mason is actually a SOLID backup, it's the OL and the fact the Steelers had ZERO weapons on offense. The RB sucked and the WR'ers were hurt all year. 

     

    Hodges turned out way worse than Rudolph could ever be.

    4.39   40.   6’ 1” 217lbs.  A faster and bigger Marshawn Lynch.  Breece can run, catch, and block. He has 2 seasons with over 1,400 yards rushing. Out of all the running backs this year, he is the one I want the most. I really hope we can finally get a star RB to compliment Allen. I would roll with Breece and Singletary. 

     

    Yea, nah. 

     

    I've watched Hall play up close against my Oklahoma State Cowboys and while he's good, he's not someone I'm taken back by. Players like Thurman, Barry, AD, Ricky Williams... I was astounded watching. Not so much with Hall. He's good, but Chuba Hubbard (OSU's 2,000+ yard RB from 2019) was better in college IMO and I wouldn't have drafted Hubbard (like Carolina ended up doing).

    Actually.....an Okie from Muskogee! 

     

    Lived in Plano for a short stint and that's when I joined BBMB (back in prob 2003-2004) and the name stuck forever. 

     

     

     

    Awesome. I lived in Broken Arrow for 4 years (2001-2005) and would drive to Muskogee to avoid the tornado paths when it was heading towards BA, lol. 

    I was last there over Halloween... took the GF and her kids to the Castle there. Mistake! 😂

    Same exact reason I'm here. Except I was younger (around 5 years old) and loved watching Thurman @ OSU. That being said, when he was no longer in college, I was asking where he went, and they said he went to the NFL to the Buffalo Bills. So, I naturally followed them, and there we have it.

     

     

     

    From Plano, Texas? 

    I live about an hour north... right along the Oklahoma/Texas state line (Texoma area.. Tishomingo). 

  7. 1988, 2nd round of the NFL draft... Buffalo selects Thurman Thomas from Oklahoma State. 

     

    I was 13 years old and surrounded by Dallas Cowboys fans in Southern Oklahoma. My dad and grandfather are OSU graduates (I'm a 3rd generation grad) and started following the Bills when they were on TV because of Thurman. I fell in love with the team and haven't looked back. Even with the greatest RB in college (and probably pro) history coming in right behind Thurman at Oklahoma State, I couldn't pull for Detroit. 

     

    Was wondering, anyone else become a fan of Buffalo due to a player? 

  8. I hope he ends up at Ole Miss (my youngest daughter is a student there) but I doubt he follows in his uncle's/grandpa's footsteps.

     

    Texas would be a mistake IMO, they have been a non-factor for a decade and even my Pokes (Oklahoma State) has dominated the Longhorns for over 10 years now (6-1 in Austin the last seven meetings and 8-4 the L12 overall)... so if you can't beat OSU with OSU's 3-4 star recruits with half the athletic budget... you're doing something wrong. Texas has problems that go beyond their coaching staff(s). 

     

    I'm going to guess UGA or Alabama.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but would the above result in non playoff teams playing less games per season?

     

    If so, this would cost these schools a ton of money, no?

     

    Yes. About $500,000 to $1 million on average I believe. 

     

    So if that's the argument.... teams like Mercer and New Mexico State not making as much money is your ground for argument against an expanded Playoff, then you win. lol 

     

    Good luck tonight. Hope it's a good game.

    Nice — needed safety help. 

     

    Sorry @ArdmoreRyno  - this kid must have a great relationship with Knowles.

     

    Nothing but love for the kid. OSU's (my OSU) secondary the past couple of seasons have been outstanding. There are several future NFL players on that defense. Wish Tanner the best of luck and hope he and coach tear it up in the B1G!!!

    USC?

     

    We're hearing UGA here in Oklahoma. It is ridiculous and I hate OU. Kid is the lock starter for a top 10 program and he's going to shop is $$$$ around thanks to the NIL. 

     

    The end of college football as we know it as started.

    I am not ashamed to be a fan of the Crimson Tide. My long deceased father introduced me to them at age 10. Special things go on in Tuscaloosa when it comes to football, now more than ever despite our illustrious history. You make it sound like a curse.


    I never said being a Bama fan is bad. I think it’s made a lot of you (like your fellow fan calling me names instead of having a conversation) arrogant.

    Tell me for once, what games should NOT be  played in order to keep the max amount of games to 15? Should it be those against weak teams (Mercer, etc.)? Should it be some of the conference games? Should it be conference title games? 


    Easy, don’t play Mercer or NM State. OSU doesn’t need to play Missouri State or Tulsa plus Boise. 
     

    Play ONE non conference game. Why is that difficult? AGAIN, both Bama and UGA will play the same number of games as the other divisions. The same. Not more. It works for them. It can work for us. I’ve stated this over and over and you said we’d play 20 games. Which we wouldn’t.

    If the games were all conference games it would be GREAT for you as an OSU fan, right? You could presumably feast on the pansy ass teams in your sissy conference, no? C'mon, really. Do tell us what it is that you want (as if we didn't already know). And btw, if all games were in conference, it wouldn't be fair to teams that play in a REAL conference.


    Huh? lol, dude... SEC is the most top heavy conference in the country and has been for YEARS. Hands down. How has the SEC looked in bowl games? You’re trying to make the claim the Big XII isn’t a “real” conference. Again, let me revert back to explain why everyone hates Alabama. The arrogance. Holy crap dude.

    I have some novel ideas:

    1) Recruit as well as Coach Saban.

    2) Find and hire a coach as good as Coach Saban.

    3) Play better teams and beat them when it counts.

    4)  Win more football games, even against the weak sisters in your conference.


    🤦🏻‍♂️

    1. There are few Sabans like there are few Belichicks. Few Woodens. Alabama is a blue blood. OSU will never out recruit Alabama or OU, etc. Like Alabama won’t out recruit OSU in hoops, why? History. With the NIL, will be even harder so it’s up to coaching and what you can do with your 3* recruits. 
    2. Mike Gundy is one of the best coaches in college football. See my 3* comment. NO coach does what he does with less talent. Period. 
    3. We do. ONLY team OSU has struggled with the past 15 years is OU. We beat everyone else. Including Texas. 
    4. See #3 

     

    I've explained my thoughts about what senecio would work. Several times.

    Thanks for helping me make my point. If Josh Allen played extra games and got a serious injury, he might not be the QB that he is today. Ask this kid how he feels right now about playing in a meaningless bowl game.  I sincerely mean it when I say that I think kids will opt out of playoff games if the playoffs were expanded. 

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ole-miss-qb-and-2022-nfl-draft-prospect-matt-corral-carted-off-field-after-ankle-injury-in-sugar-bowl-031432320.html


    kids are opting out now because of other non NY6/CFP bowls are pointless. 
     

    Expanding that gives them a reason to play. 
     

    And what happened to Corral is rare. Kid has played his entire career like he did last night (my youngest is at Ole Miss) and he just got hurt. Could happen in week 1. So reduce the games by 1 (non conference). 
     

    You still only have to play 15 total games. Alabama and UGA are doing that already. 
     

    Again, I get why you don’t want it. You’re a Bama fan.

    ou're just an attention seeking idiot looking to stir the pot.


    Nice. Is this how Alabama fans are? 
     

    I argue for expansion and you throw out insults. Real nice dude. 
     

    And yea... I apologize, I meant Bill. That neglects my explaining to you I didn’t call anyone “subpar”, that was Bills term. 
     

    FYI: The entire college fanbase hates Alabama like we hate the Patriots. No one outside Bama fans like the Tide. Zero. The Bama fans make that even more apparent. 
     

    Have a good one.

    Thanks for responding, but; you seem to not want to answer direct questions. 

    Ummm... what? I wrote out my feelings on the playoffs. Pointed out no one plays 20 games; including the divisions with 32 teams playing

    post season. 
     

    You ignored all my points. 
     

    Reply to my points and then let me know what you’d like me to address. I will definitely address them. 
     

    You’re making this about me talking about Alabama. I’m not. I’m talking expanded playoffs and why we need it and how it can work. You bring up Bama, Saban and the Tides schedule? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
