the new turf at DKR is going back to this shade of burnt orange (which was the best) this season. I'm hoping the jerseys also match this, for whatever reasons, the burnt orange began to look rather plain orange over the past few seasons

Light orange....Bevo orange. That's what it should be. But please tell me only the end zones are going to be burnt orange. The field should be green. You're not Boise State Junior College.

Good ole rustoloim stadium.

It wasn't much but I had fun there. More frustration than fun back in the day, but it had its moments.

I watched OSU upset #3 Colorado there many years ago in Rust-Oleum Stadium. Sat on the north side of the field in those seats. I've never seen so many happy Cowboy fans in all my life.

I don't remember having games in St Louis. I thought it was always Dallas or KC.

I made it to 2 in KC. OU KSU and OU Colorado (I think '03 and '04). I got shit faced in the KSU one. We beat them that year so I was talking shit to both sides. Probably not my proudest moment. The Colorado game, they knew they were getting their asses kicked and didn't travel. If there were 2K Colorado fans in the stadium I would have been surprised.

One of those trips I was introduced to roulette at the Ameristar. I was into poker by then but casino games weren't my thing, but betting red or black on basically 50/50 odds seemed like a decent time waster. In something like 5 hands it went green twice. I'm not a fan of that game.

I watched Colorado score a touchdown and have two 15 yard penalties so they had to go for a 33 yard conversion in that stadium. They converted. And fuzzy memories but I think that was homecoming.

My best memory from my college years didn't happen there though. 16-13 happened when I was a senior and I was home for Thanksgiving. We watched the game at the golf course and out of a crowd of 50 or so, the only OSU fans in the house were me and two guys I went to HS with who were also in college there. Woods catches that and if it weren't for 3 drunken 21 year olds you could have heard a pin drop in that place. No one told us to STFU because everyone knew everyone and the squat fans were cool taking shit from kids they liked the other 364 days of the year.

Even though roulette is a terrible game IMO, my favorite roulette story.

The athletic trainer at the high school where my wife was a counselor and my girls went to high school loves the casinos. His wife was a travel agent but didn't like to gamble. However she'd get lots of free offers to Vegas through her job and she'd take him 3-4 times a year. She'd just hang out at the swimming pools reading and relaxing while he hit the casinos. When he started getting low on funds, he'd go get her and make her play Roulette with him. They'd sit there with one betting $10 on red, the other $10 on black and just get shit faced. They claimed their post roulette sex was the best they ever had! (It did cost them $20 for drinks if the damn greens showed up.)

I won $2200 one night on roulette Betting just the outside. It was a glorious night. I gave it all back in a matter of a month but GodDamn I love that game.
 
Not if they want to become SEC officials they won't.


That's funny though.
 
So with Texas and LHN leaving, does this open up the Big12 to get its own network now or stay as is iyo?
