I'm a Christ follower and an avid sports fan who's lived all over the US. I have a amazing wife and 4 kids and only have twitter for looking at y'all. 👀
@Eddie_Rado Funny story when I yelled “Hey Eddie” you came over and when I said “I’m Jake and Norman” you replied “ Eddie Radosevich” and my 12 year old asked me “ you don’t even know his last name?” 😂
@AlbertRamsb@kyledcheney@joshgerstein If a group pulled this stunt in a mosque, they’d already be in cuffs and doing perp walks. But sure, let’s also just casually ignore that it happened on private property. Apparently some rules are more optional than others.
@LaurenCraun Camarillo is about 40 miles north of LA. Carmel where Clint Eastwood was once mayor is about 320 miles north of LA. Camarillo is about 25 minutes from Malibu. So sadly nowhere near Vegas. :)
The gameday experience at schools like OU is not about the average fan anymore. The days of seeing every home game with your family going away - unless you are wealthy.
I thought college football could still hold on to the feeling of community that it once had while also compensating players. I was wrong. The transfer portal has turned college sports (especially at the highest levels) into nothing more than fundraising competitions.
So seeing that OU is basically pulling a page out of the Turnpike Authority playbook and telling folks, "Sorry, but we're building here and you gotta move," is not the least bit surprising. And much like with the OTA, you are hearing quotes like, "We did studies and this is what the studies said are best."
They don't care about the studies. They don't care about you. It's all a means to justify an end, and the end is the richest fans being happy and giving more money to the program.
Is it disgusting? Sure.
It is surprising? Not one bit.
Is it going to change? Not a chance.
Good for the radio crew though. I bet their new booth is sweet!
@Eddie_Rado with the current OL why doesn’t the offensive playbook shift into a game plan for those new tackles? Dink and dunk with bubble screens and slants to get the ball out of there quickly? Is it the qb or the OC that insist on HR balls?
@PriestessCammi@ifiwasrichard That’s exactly how OKC fans see the Thunder. I was pleased when Clay Bennet said the Sonics name, banners and history will go back to Seattle when they get a team. 🍻
@TVsJerry look at guy teaching the youth. Once you mentioned “carpet bagger” it allowed me to teach my children a little more history on the drive to the orthodontist.
@ToddOnSports@Lee356215854615 Dude, you’re known for so much more than just an old intern name. Your days on Jox were epic and the Franchise is where we met “Todd ‘s Tbits.” It’s been great riding around with you on the radio all of these years.
