re: ArKansas, WTF?
Posted by Arkyologist on 5/2/24 at 10:11 am
Arkansas became a state in 1836 well before Kansas entered just a few months before Lincoln's War in 1861. The indians there were the Kaw. The indians that Arkansas were named after were the Quapaw, completely unrelated. As an aside, from what I understand, people from the Kansas territory were raid...

If you’ve never experienced the arrogance of OU fans, you are in for a treat.
Oh, and if you are ever cut off in traffic or are developing road rage, there’s a 95% chance the other vehicle has Oklahoma tags and/or a paperclip OU logo...

re: Would Clemson and FSU fight the ACC GOR so hard if they did not have a spot in the P2?
Posted by Arkyologist on 3/20/24 at 8:13 am
Not sure who the SEC would invite after FSU, Clemson, Miami, and UNC if they go to 24 but I would guess that the following would be in the mix:
North Carolina State
Virginia
Virginia Tech
West Virginia
Louisville
Oklahoma State...

As president Reagan was fond of saying ...... "there you (wokeism) go again".

Obviously I hope this would never happen but NIL and all the rest have screwed things up so badly that it'll be hard to get back to a semblance of normalcy anyway.
If the PTB are talking football only, based on the past 10-15 years, I can see where Arkansas standing would be in jeopardy. If you a...

Totally disagree. We're the only (P#) conference in the country who can use a geographic designation with any degree of accuracy .......

I'd appreciate it. My daughter was 15 or so. The shot was in McAlester and hit the front windshield,cracking the entire thing. We came upon a local sheriff who said it was probably just a rock the truck kicked up. Trouble is, they were coming towards us, we were not behind them and the shot hit us b...

It might have been but Oklahoma rivals them all, no doubt. If you are ever just west of Fort Smith, do not stop at the Webbers Falls convenience complex. The scariest place on a highway I've ever been and I've drive though Memphis a lot. Heading South from there you drive over the shite colored water...
