Messin’ with TexasCan we all just agree that no matter what happens this season, they can’t take OU/TX from us? Sure, Texas is no Vandy, but what a game that was.

– Jarod

Yes, indeed. We have to enjoy these little moments while we can, you know. It’s few and far between that we get to pounce on a young, weak Texas team. Next year, and the year after, they will surely be better, but dammit, for one year at least, OU made them look like a high school team. It was truly brilliant to behold. The sight of all that orange walking out of the stadium brought joyous tears to my eyes. Drown me in the sweet tears of your envy indeed, Texas! Hahahahaha! Also, I’m glad Mack Brown’s three worst losses have come at the Sooners’ hands. Let’s all hope the tables never get turned on that one. I don’t know if I could live with myself.

Bring Me Your Finest Fried Delight!

I have to ask. What was your favorite fried good that you had at OU/TX this year? Don’t say the fried butter, it was so two years ago!

–-J.D.

Why knock fried butter? Gross? Perhaps. Still, I think it’s fair to say it became an instant classic and deserves to be a first ballot entry into the Fried Food Hall of Fame. You know, if such a thing existed. Which it probably should since it would almost have to include a restaurant. If it wasn’t the best all-you-can-eat ever created then they sure as hell did it wrong. Yes, this is actually what I’m thinking about right now. – JM

Hakuna MatataThe last film page got me thinking about the state of kid’s movies today. Quite frankly, they kind of suck. There have been some gems here and there, but they were just so much better when I was a kid. What happened to The Lion King and Toy Story? Kids these days are getting short-changed, I think.

– K.P.

Well, to be fair, you might have thought the kid’s movies of your youth were cooler because you were actually a child at the time. And it’s a bit unfair to put The Lion King up there. It was arguably the pinnacle of those Disney movies. I saw Up and that was pretty good, so it’s not all bad. And Toy Story 3 was supposed to be pretty solid too, so maybe you just need to give them a chance before you lament the lack of quality films for today’s youth. They’re probabaly too busy playing on an iPad or surfing the internet anyway. Kids these days!

I’m [Not] Playin’ Basketball ...Are we going to get any Thunder basketball this year? Don’t these owners know they can’t leave us hanging like this?! After all the wacky stuff that is sure to go down on the court they can’t leave us hanging like this!

– Chad

Who knows. By the time this goes to press there might be a deal. Or maybe there won’t be for months. One day they’re close, the next week there are walkouts and threats of face-punching. It’s a crying shame that we could potenitally lose another dramatic year of the Thunder trying desperately to run a set play. It’s the next step!

From the Couch

A couple weeks ago, I stumbled home from the bar and all I wanted to do was [redacted] and watch some Netflix before I

fell into sweet sleep’s embrace. Much to my chagrin, Netflix didn’t work because some-one (whose account I was using) didn’t pay their bill. I know, how dare them indeed! Why don’t I pay for my own Netflix you

ask? Because that would be stupid. If some-one comes up to you promising an endless stream of digital adventures you take that deal and run laughing maniacally into the night. Fear not, it ended well enough. Just remember if you have friends using

your Netflix account, pay the damn bill! Or else you’re just as bad a friend as the one b*tching about it! Wait.

We were unaware of any Strong Man competitions on Campus Corner.

I don’t know what gets into me when I stay at a Dallas hotel. I get this primal urge to wrestle my roommates.They must put a dash of Hondo Juice in the

drinks at the bars in Dallas, because the meathead in me comes out.We’ll end up having battle royale until we either A)

get hotel security called on us, B) another guest asks us to be quiet or C) someone says “uncle.”It’s not an isolated incident, either. It’s pretty much every time I stay down there.

In my defense, though, it’s not every night of every weekend. I generally like to limit it

to one night.We haven’t broken anything we can’t fix ... yet. We’ve been pretty lucky in

that regard, because honestly, trash-ing a hotel room is pretty classless. But still, the place, after a rousing match, wouldn’t be anything you’d

want to show your mom the next morning.I always pity the poor housekeepers that

have to clean the room when we’re fin-ished with it, too. We always leave a tip on the dresser when we leave.

Just call it the classy thing to do.Enjoy the issue.

>> This looks more like The Ring 6 to us.

If the movie is good, does it matter very much where we are when the lights go dark and the screen lights up?

Despite today’s changing media landscape, movie theaters have continued to survive as a way to experience cinema

as well as a way to spend Friday and Saturday nights. Even though their popularity is decreasing, there are still many to choose from.

Oklahoma has nearly one hundred theaters, and there are over sixteen in the area stretching from Norman to Oklahoma City. Those in the Oklahoma City area must weigh many options before deciding where to watch a movie.

First, there is the matter of convenience. How close is the theater to home, or to that Italian restaurant you’re going to for dinner? How long will it take to find a parking spot within walk-ing distance in Bricktown for the 7:00 p.m. Saturday showing?

Then there is the matter of price. The most expensive viewing experience in the Oklahoma City area is the $79 “Theatre for Two” package at the Warren Theatre in Moore, which includes dinner, dessert, drinks and balcony seats. Theaters get progres-sively cheaper from there, with “Dollar Tuesdays” (tax included) at Starplex Cinemas in Norman ranking as the cheapest.

Of course, the benefits of low prices are made up for by the sacrifice in quality. Inexpensive theaters often have less impressive sound systems and grainier projectors. In the case of Starplex Cinemas, movies are not shown until several months after their initial release date.

For a viewer who never got around to seeing a movie they wanted to, that may not be a bad thing. For the viewer who has been waiting for the final Harry Potter movie to come out for ten years, a high-quality theater is probably preferable.

Students at the University of Oklahoma are faced with another

factor: audience makeup. The university often offers movie screenings for free to students. Watching a movie with an audience of college students makes for different responses to jokes and serious moments alike, and often affects the overall viewing experience.

An audience forms a community while watching a movie. If the theater roars with laughter, even someone who didn’t get the joke is likely to smile. If audience members collectively gasp, the shock of what is seen is greater. Watching a movie with peers makes for an audience who will, likely, react in the same way you do, and reinforce your experience of the movie.

The same choices apply to a university screening, though. On one hand, free screenings protect the wallet. On the other, while some facilities at the university are comparable to a decent movie theater, some showings are done outside with poor sound systems and inflatable screens. Personal taste and finances ultimately make the decision of whether the experi-ence of watching a movie with only your peers is worth the occasional sacrifice in quality.

This semester, construction on Meacham Auditorium has pre-vented the usual weekly movie screenings. Though the Union Programming Board still offers some weekend movies, they are shown in other rooms in the Union which are not designed as theaters. While students still attend, the attendance is down, showing that quality matters even to college students.

Though the quality of the movie is the biggest factor in whether a night out at the theater is enjoyable, the theater itself subtly affects the film as well. Choosing a venue accordingly will allow you to appreciate the movie without distractions, whether those distractions are black spots on the screen or black holes in your wallet.

Bang For Your BuckWeighing price, quality and audience to find out which theaters make a bad movie better or a good movie worse.

>> Behold! The only reason to ever go to Moore. Unless you really like Toby Keith and tornados. What? Too soon?

>> Paranormal Activity 3The third installment of the trilogy is designed as a prequel set 18 years before the other two films. Two sisters, Kate and Kristi, are searching for video proof of the demon that later returns to their family. In-cluded in the footage are some unexpected “home videos.”

Blink-182Neighborhoods

>> Blink-182 broke up in 2005. Lead singer Tom De-Longe was busy with his band, Angels & Airwaves, drummer Travis Barker has since become one of the most famous drum-mers through his remixes and bassist Mark Hoppus has been involved with several different bands and records.

Neighborhoods, the band’s sixth album, proceeds in the direction their last self-titled album was heading, becoming more melodic and catchier.

Honestly, Neighborhoods at most times sounds more like Angels & Airwaves than Blink-182, with its big cho-ruses and bigger production. —released September 27, 2011

Tony BennettDuets II

>> Tony Bennett has released over 70 albums, with his first hit in 1951. At 85 years old, his voice has aged remarkably well.

Bennett’s new album, a col-laboration with popular sing-ers, showcases his diversity and classic voice.

Duets II features Josh Gro-ban, Norah Jones, Carrie Un-derwood and Mariah Carey, among many others. In pretty much all the tracks, Bennett outshines his duet partner. After all, singing standards is what he does best.

Highlights are “The Lady is a Tramp” with a soulful Lady Gaga and “Body and Soul” with Amy Winehouse, the last song she ever recorded. —released September 20, 2011

SuperheavySuperheavy

>> The self-titled album by Superheavy is one of the most bizarre releases in a while, and not in an interesting way. A so-called “supergroup,” Super-heavy is led by Mick Jagger, and includes Damian Marley, Joss Stone and A.R. Rahman, Slum-dog Millionaire composer.

Largely a reggae album, Da-mian Marley is right at home, but the same cannot be said for the rest. If Mick Jagger was try-ing to prove he can do anything he wants, he succeeded.

Who wants to listen to Jagger and Stone rapping over glossy reggae music? Simply put, this is a train wreck.—released September 20, 2011

Metal band Mastodon creates a more approachable fifth album, leaving references to allegorical novels and Stephen Hawking behind.

Hunting A New Sound

Mastodon has always been a complex band, and not just because of their shifting time signatures and heavily orchestrated ten- minute songs. Lyrically and thematically,

each one of their albums has had a concept behind it. 2004’s Leviathan told the story of Herman Melville’s

Moby Dick. Crack the Skye was a science-fiction story about a man who travels through a wormhole and ends up in the body of the Russian mystic, Rasputin.

Mastadon’s music is also, at times, pretty aggressive. Not exactly what you’d hear in the Top 40. However, the group has managed to attract a strong following and has sold almost a million albums in the U.S.

How can a heavy metal band like this find popularity of this level in America?

One of the biggest reasons is probably because their music appeals to different crowds. Not just the metal fans are listening to them. Mastadon has gotten a fan base in the indie scene as well as considerable critical praise. Why? Probably because of their unique sound: intellectual without seeming too pretentious. Someone can enjoy the complex music without understanding the underlying concepts at first, while some people are initially drawn in by the group’s thematics but find that the music has to grow on them.

Mastodon just released their fifth studio album, The Hunter. Quite a bit is different here, even down to the cover artwork. Mastodon had, in the past, exclusively worked with Paul Romano, who created very ornate, dense art for their albums. The cover art for The Hunter is what looks like an image created in Photoshop. The art is supposed to be representative of the shift from physical media to digital, with the idea that most people would never see the picture larger than thumbnail size on their computer or iPod.

This kind of thinking didn’t stop with just the artwork.

The producer on The Hunter, Mike Elizondo, has previously worked with Eminem, 50 Cent and Maroon 5. It’s fair to say he had a significant influence on the

different sound of this album. Gone are the ten-minute songs and overarching lyrical schemes that were all over Mastodon’s earlier records. In fact, there isn’t a song longer than five and a half minutes on this album.

The music on The Hunter is all over the place. If there is a unifying concept here, it’s the lack of a concept. What Mastodon seems to have wanted to do is go in and create a fun record that can be enjoyed on the first listen. There are catchy hooks everywhere and very diverse vocal styles. Mastodon has never used as many clean vocals throughout an album before. That’s not to say that their new music is boring or even conventional. This is still Mastodon, but the intensity knob has been turned down a little bit.

The Hunter is definitely more diverse than any of Mastadon’s albums before it, which is refreshing. Lyrically, the band delves into material that can be best described as silly, with song titles like “Octopus Has No Friends” and “Bedazzled Fingernails.”

So is Mastodon alienating their two major fan bases on The Hunter? Not necessarily. They would be if they seemed like they were obviously trying to achieve mainstream success, but they aren’t. They already pretty much have it anyway. All The Hunter seems to be is a break between the involved music they’ve been playing for a decade. And if they gain new fans in the process, the more the merrier.

Romance

12

>> Ruh roh. Looks like a couple that’s artfully lost the fire. With this economy they can’t afford therapy. Must they quit? A mystery!

by ElizabethAtherton

So not that anyone is counting or anything ... but let’s be honest, by your third or fourth marriage, they’re counting. Some optimists may say they’re counting the number of times you’ve managed to fall in love with someone,

“Which is a beautiful thing, because some people live and die without ever falling in love and you have managed to do it three times,” they’d say.

Now the realist and real friend in that person’s life (if they’re lucky enough to have even a real friend in life who they haven’t quit or who hasn’t quit on them) might say something a little different, like, “What the heck? He’s number three ... is this a contest? People are talking; really, people who you haven’t seen for ten years know that this is your third marriage. Maybe you should figure out why you keep quitting on the one you’re with ... or more importantly, why they keep quitting on you before you get back in that saddle.” What a great friend that would be.

Really. If the woman/man has a serious addiction, lying habit, is a con artist or sufferers from narcissism, then my advice really doesn’t matter because those unstable people-hoppers don’t have much of a chance when it comes to a real relationship. The people I’m referring to are the everyday people and couples you hear about, who after a time of seeing each other break up. The real reason for the breakup is unknown, because usually whoever did the breaking isn’t upfront or honest about the reason, and whatever reason they may have ... it usually can be boiled down to two words: I quit.

Granted, this only matters if it’s been a relationship that lasted something like three years or so. In that time with someone you bet-ter have figured out if you’re going to quit on them or not. The sec-ond you think it’s a possibility, do the right thing and end it before it gets drawn out. How’s that for a public service announcement?

What made me think of this was a girl I know recently called off her engagement and, of course, the relationship that went with it. It also happened to be only a month before the wedding when she did it.

First a dagger to the heart and then she rubbed salt on the wound -- nice. Over the awkward lunch that took place with her about a week afterward, I added to the awkwardness and brought up the topic. How could you not, right? I frankly asked her why she called it off. Her first excuse was that they had a big fight that really “freaked her out.” Then I pressed and told her to ignore the fight, people fight all the time, and to tell me really why she broke it off.

Her answer: “I wasn’t one hundred percent sure.” I don’t know if this is Prince Charming Syndrome or if my friend

made the right decision. But just because you’re not one hundred percent sure, does that mean you need to break up? Maybe she should’ve said “no” to the engagement and then waited until she knew one way or the other. Now her poor ex-fiancé is alone, broken-hearted and is the non-quitter who stands deserted. Obvi-ously though, she couldn’t have loved him. Because when you love someone, I truly believe ... you don’t quit. You don’t quit on them ever, and hopefully they don’t quit on you. My guess is that she’ll fall in love again ... however, good luck explaining that incident to the next guy.

So the question here is, when is it okay to quit? Certainly there must be times when it is acceptable to throw in the towel. If you’ve had sex one time in the last five years, if the other one is verbally abusive; there are plenty of reasons. Is there a difference between quitting a marriage and quitting a relationship? Quitting on a guy after the fifth date? Well duh. Don’t do the dog-and-pony show of a wedding and marriage just to take yourself off the market, or to finally have “your big day.” The person at the end of the aisle should be the one person in the world who won’t give up on you. And if you don’t think the person you’re with will ever get to that non-quitting point ... give him a good ol’ goodbye hug.

Forgive my romanticism, and if it counterbalances at all, I think you can quit on a fifth date person faster than a three-footed robber in a shoe store if you want. But if you’re going to quit, quit early.

I’m Quittin’ YouRelationships end for a variety of dramatic and occasionally sexy reasons. Sometimes, they end because someone is just a good, old-fashioned quitter.

Oops. Better Buy Some Earrings.Dear Elizabeth,

OU/Texas is always my favorite weekend, but this year was a bit of a disappointment.

My boyfriend and I were out with all of our good friends. He’d had way too much to drink, and got himself a cab home. And forgot about me.

I was stuck in Deep Ellum without a way home. What’s the best way to confront this issue without making it too big of a deal?

- Britany

Dear Britany,Look, things happen. Especially when drinking

is involved. And especially during OU/Texas. I’m sure your guy felt terrible, so why rub salt

in his wounds? I’m sure if you pout enough he might get you a little “I’m sorry” gift, but that’s about as far as I’d go.

Digital Fairy Tale? Why Not.Dear Elizabeth, I have a huge crush on one of the wide receiv-ers for OU, but he doesn’t know I exist. Plus, even if he did, there are tons of other “hotties” out there that I’d have to compete with.

How do I make him see I exist?- Mackenzie

Dear Mackenzie, It’s going to be hard to catch the eye of

someone so well-known. Do you know if he’s in a relationship? Have

you ever even met him? These are questions you need to be asking first.

If you know the answers to these and they’re in your favor, maybe try Twitter? Plenty of people have found love these days thanks to social media.

Ah, October. The blister-ing Oklahoma summer finally gives way to decent temperatures

for three weeks before the Okla-homa winter freezes us over with ice storms and north winds. Even more pleasant than that is Halloween -- abundant free candy, parties with humorous or revealing costumes and a good excuse to scare ourselves silly.

Granted, there are plenty of horror movies that do this job just fine, but it’s too easy to just lose the sense of immersion at times. This is where video games can excel in any genre, but spe-cifically horror. Actually being part of the action, constantly worried about what’s around the next corner or hiding in the shadows and that sense of dread; that is what horror is sup-posed to be.

Bearing these things in mind, I’ve created a list of horror standouts that you should re-ally consider playing if you’re the type who likes to feel your hair stand on end.

Games by AJLansdale

FPSGears of War 3>> Gears of War 3 is the conclusion to the Marcus Fenix trilogy.

In the single-player campaign, Marcus and his men are under attack by the Locust and the Lambent while they search for Marcus’s father. It’s good, but to be honest, you’re probably buying this for the multiplayer, and it’s a step up from the last game. The matchmaking has been redone, new game modes have been inserted, including the ability to play as a Locust and an emphasis on movement punishes players for camping at respawn points. You might want to leave voice chat off, though -- they haven’t figured out what to do about annoying, swearing 12-year-olds yet.

Bump In The NightFive must-play games for Halloween. But, don’t be surprised if you need to leave the lights on while playing.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

>> A TA game that began life as an independent online release from Eastern Europe last year, Amnesia has gotten enough traction to be picked up by ma-jor companies, and for good reason. This game is unique, disturbing and entertaining. Without any weapons to speak of, players have to find a balance between staying in the shadows and being in the light; your san-ity decreases as you hide in the shadows, but it’s the only way to keep from being attacked by monsters. This game mechanic, coupled with a unique story set in the 1830s, makes Amnesia a game that’s definitely worth a try, particularly if you’re look-ing for a new experience in the realm of horror.

>>

Resident Evil>> The forefather of modern horror games, Resident Evil set the precedents for many sub-sequent horror games: limited supplies of items and ammo, few opportunities to save the game and no excess of zombies and other monsters to kill. Its cultural impact is obvious; sev-eral movies have come out under the Resident Evil name -- which made sizable amounts of money despite widespread panning by critics -- and even non-gamers have heard of it. The first game also brought about many of the most common stereotypes, particularly the terrible camera angles and crappy voice acting, but it was still one of the most chilling games of its time. Give it a play if you haven’t yet.

Silent Hill 2>> Another series that has al-ways been a standard bearer of survival horror, the Silent Hill se-ries leans in a different direction, going for more of the psycholog-ical edge. Silent Hill 2, from ten years ago, is still considered to be one of the most bone-chilling games out there, focusing less on blood and guts, and more on the sheer sense of dread that comes from walking through a foggy ghost town, populated by monsters from the subconscious. The protagonist comes to the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife, and deals with plenty of psychologi-cal issues and other taboo sub-jects. This game was on many “Best Of” lists in the early 2000s, for good reason. If you have an old system, you should definitely look into picking this up.

Condemned: Criminal Orgins

>> A slight turn to the realistic rather than the supernatural, Condemned involves a framed cop trying to clear his name by hunting for the true killer while trying to escape the ruins of the dilapidated neighborhood. The game combines first-person shooter aspects with melee combat, searching for clues, tas-ers and other weapons. Ammo is limited but extremely powerful, and gameplay involves a lot of dark, narrow corridors, typical of survival horror. There is still a supernatural element, one that’s driving the hobos insane and causing most of the problems in Metro City, and the protagonist has to fight through it all while avoiding going mad himself. This game has a greater sense of fear because of its relative realism, and is definitely worth a play.

Help out the town while buying that recliner you definitely need.

Step one: find your dream place in Norman. Step two: move in. Step three: decorate to make it your own. Step four: realize you’re a college student and that your decorating funds may be limited. This is

where the Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity ReStore comes in handy.

“Furniture is really expensive, and there’s no way I can afford to furnish an entire house on a college budget,” said Laura Cochran, business sophomore.

The Habitat ReStore is the ultimate haven to find these one-of-a-kind, but affordable, items. There’s a warehouse packed with donated new and used building and home-improvement materials. These items are then sold to the general public at affordable prices. Not only are you buying brand new or hardly used items, but the profits from your purchase help support the mission of the Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity to provide decent, affordable housing to qualifying local families in need. The Habitat ReStore also diverts new and used building materials from landfills. In this way, buying items there is also helping the environment.

The Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity and ReStore has provided homes to families from all ages and back-grounds. There are students on campus that have been provided a home in Norman thanks to Habitat for Humanity.

There are so many ways to support families through the Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity, like volunteering for a home build and donating money or materials. Shopping at the ReStore is a way to help a local initiative while also being environmentally friendly, all at an affordable price.

The apartment, located in the Cimarron Trails Apartment complex, was fully decorated by Gina Brandt with materials from the ReStore. Decorate your home with these unique, affordable items by visiting the Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1835 Industrial Boulevard in Norman. 

Cheers to the Freakin’ Weekend: Dana Moody and Laura Cochran were ready to pose for the camera in Laura’s eating area. Perfect excuse to snack on cupcakes.

The Sweetest Thing: Laura decorated with an array of floral patterns to add pops of color to her living room.

At the Height of Things: Laura made her living room look larger by strategi-cally placing tall pieces like this étagère against the walls.

Mathis Who?

Comfy Cozy: “Kitchen tables can be a huge expense when furnishing a home,” said Laura. “At the ReStore this table and chairs set only cost me $45!”

New to Me: “I love going through the ReStore and finding unique, affordable pieces,” said Laura. “Plus, my money goes back to Habitat and helps my community. Everybody wins.”

Invite over...Do you have what it takes to be in College Cribs? If you have a camera and e-mail access, the answer is yes. If you occupy any sort of dwelling and want it featured in Boyd Street, send photos of your college crib to info@boydstreet.com. Make sure to include your name and a contact phone number. Also make sure you’re an OU student.

Shabby Chic: The screen behind her bed is one of Laura’s favorite finds from the ReStore.

Turning a House into a Home: Laura used warm colors and one-of-a-kind refurbished décor to create this cozy lair.

One of a Kind:Thrown away after a fire, artist and decorator Gina Brandt made this former door a piece of art with just a little gloss to hold the paint flakes to the charred metal. Gloss and paint to refurbish items can also be found at the ReStore.

Why the Caged Bird Sings: “I love this étagère, not just because it’s beautiful, but also because it adds so much height to make my eating area look bigger!” said Laura.

Window of Oppor-tunity: Laura loves decorating with shutters as art because they add to the quaint cottage feel of her apartment.

Whimsical: Artist Gina Brandt left these butterflies outside to dry when the hail storm came through this year, splattering the white paint on the butterflies’ wings.

In recent weeks, you’ve probably seen an increase in our town’s

coughing and mucus production. Gross! Or

maybe you think it’s sexy. Play on, player. Yes

indeed, it’s that time of year to damn those seasonal allergies.

You might have been one of the many that fell victim to the high mold/pollen

count. If so, it most definitely made for a few fun-filled sick days. During times like these, when

you’re pounding antihistamines and running through tissues like a thirteen-year-old, it might seem like a

good time to lay off the booze. Alas, how wrong you would be!

Last week, despite the shining triumph of health and physical fitness I may be, I fell victim to the sniffles that have swept through

our fair town. Since I didn’t call in sick to work, I felt it was only right that I didn’t skirt my drinking responsibilities, either.

As I do when sickness comes every fall, I paid a visit to my old boozy friend, the hot toddy. Long has the beverage been an alleged champion of alleviating minor cold symptoms like calming the sore throat and clearing those nasal passages. The American Lung Association might (well, I guess they did) say using alcoholic beverages to curb cold symptoms is ineffective because it causes dehydration. Scientifically, that sounds right, but if you’re actually sick you should be drinking a ton of water and orange juice anyway, so what’s the problem? Sure, booze doesn’t actually cure a damn thing except sobriety, so don’t get any ideas, freshmen.

Anyway, it’s been my experience that it does a fair job of clearing all the gunk up a bit. It puts a nice hop in your step, too, as one might expect, so that’s fun.

There are myriad ways to make a hot toddy, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the right one for you. Let’s face it, being sick sucks, so why not reward yourself with a drink?

Will It Get Me Drunk? Every once in awhile, your body tries to tell you something.

Like when you get sick. Good thing it’s not telling you to stop drinking because there’s a boozy cure to what ails you.

>> Scottish/English ToddyTraditionally, this is what your hot toddy is going to be. The Scottish version uses hot water, whereas the British version uses hot tea instead. It’s pretty straightforward and you get a good idea of what you’re working with.

>> Chai Toddy

Get as crazy as you like with your tea choice here. Myself, I prefer a more herbal variety, but I like mine herbal and spicy. I’m trying to clear out this congestion dammit! To each his own.

>> Cider Toddy

That’s not really an official name or anything, but cider is often used in place of tea so run with it. Also, like most recipes, you can use whiskey or brandy. For this one I kind of like the brandy, but you can’t really go wrong. Play around with a few; you’ll find the combo you like.• 1.5 oz. whiskey

• 2 oz. hot water or tea• 2-3 cloves• 1 tsp. honey or sugar• 1 lemon wedge

Pour whiskey in your hot drink cup of choice, add boiling water/hot tea, cloves and whichever sweetener you go with. Garnish with a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick and let it hang out for a few minutes. You can also throw in a pinch of nutmeg and/or crushed cinnamon. A dash of lemon juice is nice too. Or instead of cinnamon you can add a splash of Hot Damn. You can really go anywhere with this one.

• 1.5 oz. spiced rum• 1/5 oz. peppermint schnapps• 1 tsp. honey• 3-4 oz. tea (depending on the strength you prefer)

Combine the ingredients in a mug and give it a gentle stir or two. If it’s a Christmas party or something, garnish with a candy cane and you’ll have the most festive cough syrup ever.

• 1.5 oz. whiskey or brandy• 2 oz. hot cider• 1 tsp. honey• 1 tsp. lemon juice

Get it all in your mug and sprinkle on a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon. You might be noticing parts of a theme here. See, not the toughest cocktail to tackle in the world. In closing, you’re welcome.

Speaking of Sports By AlEschbach

It’s all about evaluation and then developing talent.

Sounds like a simple formula, doesn’t it? Just look at Oklahoma. Then look at Texas. The two programs look like they’re miles apart on the football field. How can that possibly be? After all, so many of those Longhorns were recruited by Bob Stoops and his staff.

Don’t forget about that evaluate and develop theory.What’s been going on at Texas the last few years is the Longhorns figure they can get anyone

they want in their own state. And they usually do. Their recruiting class is almost totally filled before players play any games their senior year.

The Sooners are a little different. They wait longer. Why the rush?Yeah, getting those five-star recruits is nice. But recruiting services aren’t the end all. Mis-

takes are made. Which means you’d better have a staff that recognizes talent.  And Texas definitely does.How could Oklahoma be so much better in skill positions? What we saw in the Cotton Bowl

was a total mismatch. The Longhorn receivers were highly recruited, four or five-star players.Were there many who got excited when the Sooners signed Ryan Broyles to a letter of intent?

OU didn’t offer him early. Finally  they pulled the trigger after this Norman product made a pledge to Oklahoma State. The Sooners weren’t going to buy any of that. Broyles is a superstar. The Longhorns had no answer for him.

And then there’s a guy like Jaz Reynolds. He played high school ball in Houston. The Long-horns said he wasn’t good enough for their program. Oklahoma said he could be a huge plus in Norman. Guess who was right on that? Don’t you think he could help Texas right now? Again, it’s called evaluation.

The list goes on and on. How could a power program like Texas be so bad at the critical quarterback slot? Maybe David Ash and Case McCoy will be good in the future. We just don’t

know at this stage because they’re both young.Landry Jones was a star playing prep football in New Mexico. A lot of schools were trying to

recruit him. One school that didn’t offer him a scholarship was Texas! Good decision, huh?And then once you get the talent you have to develop it. This seems like another mismatch

in the Stoops against Brown era. It’s just amazing how the quarterbacks have improved at OU. Year by year they get better. There weren’t a lot of schools that were knocking on Sam Bradford’s door when he was in high school.

Chuck Long was the offensive coordinator at OU at the time. He thought Slingin’ Sam had a chance to be a good college quarterback. Once he stepped onto the Norman campus the coaches made him into a very special player.

Credit Josh Heupel with the special touch of seeing the quarterbacks improve. Did anyone think Landry Jones was going to be a first round NFL pick and a Heisman Trophy contender two years ago? Again credit Heupel and the offensive coaching staff.

Perhaps the best case of “evaluate and develop” was when Stoops first got to OU. There was a defensive back playing high school football in Austin, Texas named Derrick Strait. Again the Longhorns snubbed their nose at this hometown player. Oklahoma said to Strait that they thought he could be a very good player.

The Sooners redshirted him and then developed him. He became a two-time All-American and won the coveted Thorpe Award that goes annually to the best defensive back in the country.

“I was a little upset when they didn’t offer me a  scholarship,” Strait said recently. “But I just wanted to work hard and show them they made a mistake.”   

That storyline happens all the time these days. It’s mistake after mistake for the Longhorns. That’s a big reason why that scoreboard in the Cotton Bowl read Oklahoma 55, Texas 17.

ProspectingStoops and company have proven they can coach ‘em up. They must have played NCAA.
