HOOK EM HORNS baby! Total culture change and program rebuilding year, so I'm a bit surprised to see us ranked in the top 25.

 

I'm hoping for the best and expect Coach Strong to have us playoff bound within 3 years. But the quarterback health issues, lack of depth at RB, inexperienced offensive line and a whole new system has my expectations for this year tempered. Especially with our strength of schedule.

WOW....BlowU is ranked 3rd? I expect them to win the BigXII but they are getting a bit too much respect from that Bama bowl win last year.

So far, I've been a fan of Coach Strong's mentality of you've got to earn it and want it. All the cuts this past week have been interesting. Some, very obviously warranted. Will be interesting to see how they fare this season.

 

Beating Bama now a days carries a lot of weight.

OU #3? Buuuullllshiiiiitt. I'll never understand the media's butt love for those damn Gooners.

 

 

Where's Oklahoma State?

 

Jk jk. I just hope they don't get embarrassed too badly when they play FSU their first game.

I'm a fan what Strong is doing as well. Whether that pays off for recruiting remains to be seen. I am confident that whatever team he fields will be solid student, athletes, want to be play football and shed the soft reputation we've had the last few years.

 

Tough days for Texas fans because the Ags have been whooping us in recruiting, hell Baylor is competing too to a lesser extent.

 

Even with all the roster cuts and culture change this a big year for us to turn the tide in recruiting. Need to at least show a very salty attiude and improvements on both sides of the ball. Strong has his work cut out for him. I can't wait for the season to start. Love me some college football.

If you're an Okie Lite fan, then I must bid you a solid thank you for Coach Wickline. :ughdance:

Will be a good feeler for the season, that's for sure.

Baylor is definitely moving up the tier in Texas ranks. Goes to show you what one great player can do for a program (RGIII), the carryover in recruiting will probably subside in the next few years. Same thing with A&M with Manziel. Everyone wants to go to A&M now. UT has had and will still have plenty of in state talent to pick from. It's still a top destination school.... Man that hurt to type...

Lol they have KSU #21? That should keep us out of the crosshairs for a while. Especially if we get off to a start like last season. :ughdance:

I watched the game. It was almost as Alabama didnt try. No natty tun so they gave up.

 

I am curious to see how the new playoff works out.

But they did show a glimpse of Derrick Henry (sp) and that dude looks like he's going to be a beast.

 

I just foresee the playoff expanding. It's inevitable. Too much money to be made at the expense of the sport. But, The amount of pressure to pick the best four is not a decision I would want to make. Someone WILL get snubbed.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
