@The_Chauncey @indy_sooner Also, pretty sure West Virginia lost their last game to Va Tech that year in a stunning upset, falling out of the National Championship game - then going on to beat SEC champ Georgia 38-35.

Might be remembered incorrectly…

[OGDon @OGDonWebb]

I’m wondering if Texas and LSU are a similar story, the premise being when they are “good” i.e win their conference good they often are the best team in the country and cash out with an bowl win and maybe an NC.

Whereas OU - turns conference championships into bowl wins and NC’s on a much lower percentage basis.

Re: UT/USC - irregardless of phantom 1st downs…iykyk.

[OGDon @OGDonWebb]

The original comment was of OU’s ratio of NC’s to conference championships was much lower than LSU’s.

Consider what the story would be if OU won every NC they played in as a confernence champ - pre-BCS/BCS/Playoffs…just in the games they were thought to be in contention for a NC.

I can think of bowl losses to Arkansas, Washington, Miami, USC, Florida, and LSU, the 78 team probably was a NC but the last game loss with 7 lost fumbles to Nebraska made the Orange Bowl rematch interesting but of no value. I don’t remember if beating Boise State would have put them into consideration. Also don’t think they were conference champs against Nebraska (may have been co-champs), same for Boise State.

So - easily double the current number.

The data says when LSU wins their conference they cash in a national title at a much higher clip than OU.

@The_Chauncey @indy_sooner And each lost a title to an SEC team…and won one against a non-SEC team.

🪦 McConnell’s Office: “He Continues to Improve” — After Three Weeks of Silence, CPR, and a Cardiac Arrest Call They Won’t Acknowledge

Mitch McConnell’s office finally broke their near-total information blackout yesterday, July 2, with a statement after the 84-year-old senator has been hospitalized since June 14 — that’s nearly three weeks with virtually no transparency.

🏥 The Statement

The full statement from his spokesperson:

“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”

That’s it. No cause. No diagnosis. No prognosis. No timeline for return. No acknowledgment a US Senator was dead for who knows how long and in a coma for days, if not weeks.

📻 The EMS Audio They Won’t Address

Independent journalist Desiree Townsend obtained and released EMS dispatch audio from the morning of June 14 — the same day McConnell was admitted. The audio, since verified by multiple outlets, reveals:

- A dispatcher calling for an “ALS” (advanced life support) response to McConnell’s D.C. address
- The call categorized as a “cardiac arrest”
- A paramedic on the recording stating: “CPR in progress”
- The individual described as “unconscious”

McConnell’s office has refused to confirm or deny whether that call was about the senator himself. They haven’t even acknowledged the audio exists.

🔍 What We Actually Know

- June 14: McConnell admitted to hospital. Office says he’s receiving “excellent care.”

- June 15: Spokesperson claims he’s “fully engaged with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters.” Yeah, right! 🤡

- June 22: Office says he won’t be voting that week, still “continuing his recovery.”

- June 30: The Courier Journal reaches out — office provides no update.

- July 2: After EMS audio surfaces publicly, office releases the “continues to improve” statement.

- Senate recess: Not scheduled to reconvene until July 13.

Even Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — a Democrat, but still the state’s governor — said at a press conference Thursday that McConnell’s office hasn’t communicated with him at all, adding: “If he’s been in the hospital for several weeks, they need to communicate more directly.”

🩺 The Pattern Nobody Wants to Discuss

This isn’t a one-off. The pattern is undeniable:

- 2023: Concussion and broken ribs from a fall. Then two separate on-camera freezing episodes that multiple neurologists suggested looked like absence seizures or TIAs.

- 2024: Another fall with minor injuries. Then an 8-day hospitalization in February for what was vaguely called “flu-like symptoms.”

- May 2026: Spotted at a committee hearing with a bandaged hand.

- June 2026: Cardiac arrest-level EMS response at his home, CPR in progress, three weeks hospitalized with zero transparency.

An 84-year-old man with this cascading health record, who survived childhood polio, now apparently suffered something serious enough to require CPR — and the public gets “he continues to improve” and even more lies, “working closely with staff.”

🏛️ The Real Issue

This goes beyond one senator. The gerontocracy running this country treats their health like a state secret. McConnell’s seventh and final term ends in January 2027 — but the voters of Kentucky and the American public have a right to know whether one of the most powerful figures in Senate history is actually capable of performing his duties right now. Bullsh*t! “Working closely with staff on Kentucky and Senate matters” from a hospital bed after a cardiac event is not governance — it’s a Potemkin operation run by unelected staffers.

The fact that it took leaked EMS audio from an independent journalist to force even this milquetoast statement tells you everything about how these institutions actually operate.
