OU at Baylor. 

I for one didn't think that Baylor could keep it going.  Amazing coaching job.

I don't believe that boomers aren't real people -- never said that.

I object to people using "boomer" as a slur when they disagree with one's opinion.  It's fucking stupid.

Considering your "real people" comment, what's even more laughable, is many of the fucking morons using boomer as a pejorative have parents and/or grandparents who are boomers.

Fuck you. Seriously, man. Just fuck you. I’m not a boomer, too. It’s still a stupid fucking thing to say. Go ahead....respond with “ok boomer” because you’ll think you’re so fucking clever.

I am a boomer and, while I recognize that "okay boomer" is a stupid thing to say, I also recognize that it is, like all ad hominim arguments, just a concession by the speaker that they are out of intellectual arguments and are desperately trying to shift the discussion to personal insults.  I just laugh when people write or say "okay, boomer" because they are conceding the argument.  Laugh and move on.

Matt Rhule is a great coach. If we moved on from JH, Rhule to me is on a very short list of guys I think we should target. I can’t see him staying at Baylor much longer, someone will get a great up and coming coach. Could be college or pro.

I know that it's par for the course when you visit one of these places, but this re-telling of Baylor's athletic department and its handling of sexual assaults just rings so hollow.  The "independent report" they commissioned, like all reports paid by the person being investigated, of course absolves almost everyone of responsibility except for, conveniently, the people already fired.  Matt Rhule is a great coach and seems like a decent guy, and I'm sure the school is better now than it was years ago.  But the idea a place gets to "heal" while also trotting out the "none of these guys were involved with what happened before" feels like talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Game day said Sparty just got off their busses wearing helmets. I guess they're afraid of the tough crowd they are gonna face seeing their fans didn't buy their ticket allotment.  It's gonna take more than wearing your helmets off the bus Mork. Oh yea, FUCK SPARTY!!!!!

I'm watching the FOX pregame.  They covered it.

Sparty is wearing their helmets because they are too chickenshit to start confrontation face to face.

FOX also had quotes from Sparty saying Bush messing up the logo last year was childish and immature.

Yeah, like clotheslining Michigan players in a made-up, pre-game ritual, is such an example of fine behavior.
