They could be busy tomorrow.

I know someone who went to a security seminar. Talked about impact of AI. They said they can steal
 the recorded personalized message on your voice mail and use that for fraudulent purposes. That is all they need to duplicate your voice in AI.

For example, a spouse calls and says I have been kidnapped and they want a ransom of X in 2 hours wired to their account or they will kill me. They said you need to come up with a verbal code between your spouses, family members, etc… To know if a very serious situation is authentic.

They recommend going to a field somewhere with zero devices on you; IPhone or watch, when you determine that verbal code. Sounds pretty radical but the sad reality is the technology exists to do this and it is probably coming.

Some of you can just use your S & M safe word. 😂

Big 12 made it hard for OSU but Cowboys can seize control if they survive next three weeks​

STILLWATER — When Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy first saw the team’s conference schedule, he had the same thought most Cowboy fans probably had regarding back-to-back games with Utah and Kansas State.

Gundy also realized he probably needs to update his Christmas shopping list.

“I thought they were trying to make it hard on us, to be honest with you,” Gundy said. “The commissioner is my buddy but he doesn’t do the scheduling. I sent the wrong guy pecans at Christmas. I should have sent the scheduling guy pecans at Christmas.”

There’s a strong case to be made that No. 14 Oklahoma State actually got the worst end of the stick when the Big 12 schedule got released.

For most of the offseason, Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Kansas and Arizona were discussed as the Big 12’s top championship contenders in 2024.

The Cowboys and the No. 12 Utes are the only top teams to play back-to-back games against other contenders this fall, and all three games come in the next two weekends.

After Saturday’s game in Boone Pickens Stadium, Oklahoma State travels to No. 13 Kansas State while Utah hosts Arizona. Actually, the Wildcats (2-1) will be coming off a bye after getting blown out 31-7 at Kansas State.



“I’m sure they set this up on success over an extended period of time and on what they thought were games that could determine what happens at the end of the year,” Gundy said on Oklahoma State’s upcoming back-to-back games. “Their job is create games that are going to draw viewership. I’m going to guess that is what they had in mind when they scheduled these games.”

If either Oklahoma State or Utah can survive that gauntlet, they will likely be a sizable favorite to lock up a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. However, Utah will get to enjoy a bye week after that.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys must host a West Virginia team coming off its own bye.

In fact, Oklahoma State is one of only five teams in the Big 12 to face two conference opponents this season who have an extra week of rest ahead of the meeting. The Cowboys’ other opponent with a rest advantage is homecoming foe Arizona State, whose 3-0 record might be the biggest early-season surprise in the Big 12.

No one got more unlucky with bye weeks than the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Kansas State, TCU, Baylor, Cincinnati, and Houston never find themselves at a rest disadvantage greater than two days.

“The teams in this league are going to beat each other up,” Gundy said. “It is going to be week-to-week. That is good for television. That is good for everything. At some point, it might make it a little different when the committee starts picking teams. You just have to live week-to-week.”

Other scheduling quirks include:
Colorado and Arizona State are the only teams in the conference to play all five preseason contenders. Colorado actually faces Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State in a 13-day stretch to finish the season.
Iowa State ends the season against Utah and Kansas State in back-to-back weeks, giving the Cyclones perhaps the most significant ability to impact the conference standings down the stretch.

As I have always maintained, polls are meaningless. What matters is are we passing legislation to secure our elections?

Georgia has made a lot of strong moves in that area. If Michigan, WI and PA had done the same, this election would already be decided.

Still, we are getting close to having a fighting chance. Keep pushing.

Or you still on the run from the Norman police?

They just admitted we are currently in the COLDEST period in the planet's history.

As I've said for years now, the left will soon shift back to claiming we are headed toward an ICE AGE. As they did up till the 80s when they flip flopped to planet is on fire.

Libs, aren't you tired of being lied to? The left thinks you are morons, and looking at how you keep gobbling down every hoax they feed you, I can see why they do.

Can Ollie Gordon II's hands be a more useful tool in boosting Oklahoma State offense?​

Scott Wright
The Oklahoman

STILLWATER — On Oklahoma State’s first snap Saturday, Alan Bowman faked a handoff to Ollie Gordon II and briefly looked to the right before spinning back to the left, where Gordon was waiting for a pass.

With linemen in front of him, it looked like a potentially huge gain for Gordon, but Tulsa’s Devin Robinson slipped through the wall of blockers to make the tackle.

That turned out to be the end of Gordon’s production as a receiver for the day. He was targeted once later but appeared to have a miscommunication with Bowman and the pass fell incomplete.

Now, with the 15th-ranked Cowboys set to host No. 10 Utah at 3 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium, coach Mike Gundy and offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn are working to find running room for Gordon.


And his hands might become a key factor.

“He’s always been a good receiver,” Gundy said. “He’s always caught the ball well, he understands routes and runs well afterwards. That’s not anything new for us, because he’s been good at that from Day 1.”



In fact, one of Gordon’s biggest plays of the year came as a receiver, when he caught the two-point conversion in the second and final overtime of the 39-31 win against Arkansas.

“Shoot, I was just hoping I caught it,” Gordon said. “Nah, I’m just playing. We stay on the Jugs (passing machine) as running backs. Eliminate those drops and we’ll be good.”

Through the Pokes’ 3-0 start, Gordon has been thrown to seven times, catching six for 44 yards. Through three games last year, he had six catches for 45 yards, but ended the season with 330 yards on 39 receptions. He had six games with at least four catches.

So it seems likely that more passes will be coming Gordon’s way, particularly with the struggle to run the ball between the tackles as opponents load the box to stop him.

Getting Gordon outside will be paramount against defenses like Utah that focus first on stopping the run.

“That’s what they do,” Gundy said. “Very, very high percentage, 90% plus, they’re having an extra guy in the box, all the time.”

To this point, Poke folks aren’t panicking about the run game production. Gordon is averaging 3.5 yards per carry, after posting a 6.1 average last year.



As a team, OSU is averaging 3.4 per carry and hasn’t reached the 150-yard mark in any of its three games.

“From our standpoint, we need to run the ball better, and everyone knows that,” center Joe Michalski said. “It’s just something we’ve got to execute better at.

“Our blocking hasn’t been up to our standard and what we wanna be.”

As long as teams continue to overload the box — and there’s no reason to expect it to end soon — OSU’s offense is going to be most effective outside the hash marks.

And getting the team’s most dynamic runner involved will remain a necessity.

It’s not unusual for the Cowboys to break out a new package of plays when conference play arrives, so maybe the run game shakes itself loose this week regardless.



“We’re close,” Michalski said. “Everyone’s taking their turn, but we’re one block away on most stuff. We’ve got to execute better as a unit. We’ve got individuals that are doing really good, but at times, it’ll just be one guy missing a block and it messes up the whole cohesiveness of the unit.”

What’s the difference between your glee in hearing about the attack killing and injuring thousands of Lebanese, many of whom were innocent civilians and your hatred/disgust toward Palestinians who cheer when Hamas pulls off a similar terrorist attack against innocent Israelis?

We have gone from a 2 point underdog to 2.5 favorite

Oklahoma State football vs Utah score prediction for Cowboys-Utes in Week 4 Big 12 game​

Scott Wright
The Oklahoman

STILLWATER — After a rollercoaster ride to 3-0 for the Oklahoma State football team, Big 12 play arrives with what might turn out to be one of the most crucial games of the conference season.

Two teams with Big 12 Championship Game dreams are set to square off at 3 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium, when No. 15 OSU hosts No. 10 Utah on Fox.

As Big 12 openers go, this is about as big as it gets, with the result of this game likely still a topic of conversation in late November when spots in the league title game hang in the balance.

Here’s a look at The Oklahoman’s staff predictions for Saturday’s action:

Democrats continue to push their divisive rhetoric in the hopes some other crazed radical leftist is able to take Trump out.

There has been a lot of discussion this season about why Ollie's numbers haven't been great through the first three games (including people mentioning us changing our zone vs gap schemes from last year)... but looking through the PFF numbers for the first three games this year, I didn't find that much of a difference.

For 2023, PFF categorized 278 carries & broke them down as 88 zone (31.7%) and 190 gap (68.3%).

For 2024, PFF categorized 59 carries & broke them down as 20 zone (33.9%) and 39 gap (66.1%).

According to those numbers... the breakdown of zone vs gap runs is almost identical to 2023. A difference of +/- 2% equates to less than 1 carry per game.

So my question is: Have we actually been running things that differently that we did last year? Or does it just feel that way because the results haven't been great?

Dumbasses...

MIT amazed by his smart questions that no one asks.
