Cowboys Ride For Free Athlon Sports Top 25: Cowboys Ranked 19th

The beginning of the return to Glendale.

The fellas over at Athlon Sports are doing a day of Oklahoma State coverage. Basically, they're getting their Oklahoma State nut, and giving you, our loyal readers (all 3 of you that are left) some amazing stuff to read. We have:

Team Preview 2012

Top 10 Players

Can OSU Win The Big 12 With A Freshman Quarterback? (my answer, yes, but you'll have to read for theirs)

Greatest Players Since 1967

Oklahoma State Cheerleader Gallery (you won't find an transvestite OU bitches here)

Greatest Moments In OSU History

2012 Predictions

I wanna give a big shout out and thanks to Rich over at Athlon, he clued us into all this OSU madness. So go ahead, check out Athlon's stuff (it's Columbian and pure), and then come back here to discuss it. I know us being ranked preseason just kills most Goon fans, so I'm just loving this. Just remember, throw the ball forward Landry, forward, and it works better.

Cowboys Ride For Free Meet Your Quarterback: Wes Lunt

This isn't Wes Lunt. This is who I hope Wes Lunt can outplay.

Remember that Wes Lunt post I've been promising? Sure, a few weeks late, and probably not worth your time, but here nonetheless.

As we look to the 2012 version of our Cowboy football team, we go into the season knowing that for the first time since at least 1950 a true freshman will start the year at quarterback. First off, what does this say about the state of our quarterbacks? I think is says "damn you, Johnny asshole transfer Deaton, we need you", but that's just me. Probably, however, it says we have several good quarterbacks, and no great ones- which is not a huge deal, if the rest of the team is where we all think they will be (Bill Young, it's your time son, make me a believer or go to hell and stay there. Or Kansas).

It also says something about Mike Gundy. Every year he's been here he has molded the offense to fit a quarterback, and rolled with the best playmaker on the team. Now though, he's got a system he loves, and choose who best fit that system, not necessarily the best player. I don't mean that to say Lunt isn't the best quarterback (I think spring ball proved they were all pretty equal), but that we are not changing the offense for one player.

Now then, back to Lunt (let's get the easy stuff out of the way first). In high school Lunt won two state championships, missed a few games his senior year but came back to throw for 3,650 yards, 31 TD's (against 4 int's), and set a record with a 590 yard passing game. Sick stuff, but thats high school (which, I feel the need to mention again, he should still be in), as Pat Jones likes to say, this is big boy football.

You know the drill, click for more........

Cowboys Ride For Free Cowboy Baseball Wins Bedlam Series 2-1

Feels good doesn't it? I don't know that we've ever owned Bedlam like we have this year. Maybe back in the 40's. Someone, who shall remain nameless (ME BITCHES) predicted the outcome, so we'll give it up to that person. How did we do it? Pitching son, pitching.

On Friday Andrew Heaney was dealing it, going for the 3 hit complete game shutout of the Sooners. Heaney improved his already sick ERA to 1.65 after tossing the first Bedlam shutout in 7 years. Heaney is the real deal folks, and we're gonna ride his arm as far as it can take us (and pray to God we find one more arm).

Saturday was an ugly affair on our side, as Kyle Ottoson got roughed up for 4 runs in one and two thirds inning, getting pulled during the second. It didn't get much better after that, with the next two pitchers allowing 4 more runs, and the Cowboys eventually fell 8-4.

On Sunday the bats were quite again as pitching ruled, with Vince Wheeland and Blake Barnes only allowing 2 runs off 4 hits. The Cowboys were able to get key hits in the third to move two runs in, and Randy McCurry's sac fly allowed Robbie Rea to score in the bottom of the 8th to give the Pokes the 3-2 victory.

This is the second straight season we've taken the Bedlam Series, and it keeps on feeling good. We are now in a three way tie for second with Texas and Texas A&M. The Sooners fall to fifth, two and a half games back of the pack above them.

Next up for the Cowboys is two non-conference series against Ohio State and Alcorn State before finishing up with Texas A&M at home. The Sooners, meanwhile, have to deal with Baylor next week, so they will probably slip a little further down in the conference (which is almost as good as a Cowboy win).

Cowboys Ride For Free Bedlam Baseball

Andrew-heaney_medium

via mlbdraftcountdown.files.wordpress.com

Yes boys and girls, it's time for the real Bedlam Baseball. Tonight the game is in Tulsa at ONEOK Field, with the weekend contests taking place in OKC at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Guess who's in Tulsa right now? This guy. Guess who's been drinking and will make this the quickest preview/open thread ever? This guy.

The Essentials:

This is important, we are tied for 3rd, on a 9 game winning streak, and ranked 25th in a few of the publications. A series win would go a long way towards getting us an NCAA tournament bid (or, more likely, a better bid), and it's always good fun to win Bedlam. Both the Cowboys and Sooners are batting .273, with OSU led by Robbie Rea, Gabe Weidenaar, and Trey Whaley.

On the mound, the Cowboys are 2nd in the league with a team ERA of 2.89, and are paced by Andrew Heaney and his 1.82 ERA. Heaney will take his 6-1 record into tonights game, Kyle Otterson (4-5, 3.12 ERA) will start Saturday, and Vince Wheeland (2-1, 3.21 ERA) will get the nod Sunday.

What's the deal? OU isn't playing very well right now, and we are. The bat's have come alive the last three weeks, the pitching has been solid, and we are getting hot at the right time. A series win and we all but clinch 3rd place in the conference (OU still has to deal with Baylor, so I know they want wins tonight). A series win also gives us a pretty good resume going into the postseason. Also, we need all the wins we can get as well, as we have series left against Ohio state and Texas A&M. I think we'll get the series win, but not the sweep, taking tonight and Sunday's contest.

Cowboys Ride For Free Cowboys Ride For Free, And Drop Stacks On The Way

Did Brandon Weeden drop a G? Who knows?

No, I'm not giving you money. But some of you are giving money, and are giving hard. Some of you may know, some may not, but currently Every Day Should Be Saturday is running a fundraiser, with all procedes going to Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta.

Are you wondering why you should care? Because some incredibly generous Cowboy or Cowgirl out there dropped $1000 to give Oklahoma State the lead in the charity race. One Poke has placed our beloved college in the lead (with the winner getting EDSBS re-skinned in team colors), and now I'm asking for the rest of you to actually do something good.

Also, they prefer donations in the form of a final score. So, for example, $44.10 would be a great donation. I'd also like to point out that OU is nowhere to be found on that list, and remind all Sooner fans that we all already think you're all dickheads, and this only helps prove that. I love seeing Cowboys win Bedlam, at anything, including being awesome.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know somebody out there is awesome, and to thank that person if they are a reader.

Cowboys Ride For Free Let's Get Pasted

Pasted_logo_copy_medium

Short but awesome links today, let's bust our collective nuts.

Wes Lunt named starting quarterback

I promise, at some point soon, we'll say something about this, but for now here's the Oklahoman's take.

Wes Lunt named starting quarterback

And the Tulsa world. Lunt looks stoned in this photo.

Brandon Weeden and Josh Cooper talk about being on the Browns together

You know the story, Weeden was drafted and Cooper was picked up out of free agency, and now the teammates talk about playing together, still.

Cowboy baseball is riding an 8 game win streak going into Bedlam

The Cowboys have also swept two straight series, and have climbed into a tie for third.

Anyiam, Adcock, Jones, Thomas, Garner, and Blatnick all sign free agent deals

Good stuff boys, good luck in "the league".

Markell Martin drafted in the 6th round, goes to Tennessee

Weeden taken in the first at 22, goes to Cleveland

Blackmon taken at 5, goes to Jacksonville

A collective "congrats" goes out to all Cowboys drafted, and free agents. I think Blackmon will make an immediate impact, I think Weeden can if they get any receivers around him (Cooper will help), and Tennessee needs safety's badly, so Martin could as well.


I'm going to guess CRFF's idea of "Lunt get's Cunt" won't make it, but a man can dream. Personally I voted for 2.

I know I get to sit here all day and bash on players (and I love it), but it's rare you get to hear a coach do it, so Monken's quote about OU (and Landry Jones in particular) is money. People are making way too much out of it, but to hear my offensive coordinator basically call Jones a pussy, is amazing. And really, if you ever add the word "dozer" to a play, you deserved to be called pussies.

Wes Lunt will be the first true freshman to start the season since 1950. More up later, for now discuss quietly amongst yourselves.

True freshman Wes Lunt will take the reigns at starter next year. He will be the first true freshman to start a season since 1950. We'll have way more up later, but for now discuss quietly amongst yourselves.

Cowboys Ride For Free Let's Get Pasted

Pasted_logo_copy_medium

My god it returns, the least regular links dump on the internet. I think it's like finding a dollar coin. Sure, it's still only worth a dollar, but the cool factor goes way up due to scarcity (unlike those bastard $2 bills, rotten whores). We have a something for everyone up today (even those of you who only stop by to take a break from porn). Let's roll:

David Ubben want's to know who will have the Big 12's best defense in 2012

Hell yes, we're on the list. Quick summary- sure, we sucked at a lot of things last year, but 44 turnovers is legit, and we should be speedy this year. Anybody else have wood?

Cowboy baseball extends it's home Bedlam winning streak to 30 years

And in the process earns their 3rd victory over a ranked team this year. We may not make the NCAA tournament, but we're on a 5 game winning streak going into the weekend. If we can keep this up we may have a chance.

Cowboy football get's another 2013 commitment from a child-beast

302 pound (junior, Jesus) offensive tackle Jack Kurzu announced his commitment today. Did I mention he's from St. Louis and MIssouri wanted him? Suck it assholes.

David Ubben (again) get's Justin Blackmon so whisper sweet nothing about OSU

Oh and he also mentions something called a "draft". I'm sure it's nothing.

The writers at the Oklahoman put their head's together and try to figure out who the next Cowboy quarterback will be

So that's like what, the collective brainpower of a trained monkey? At least they don't fling poo. I kid (sorta), but it's worth a few minutes of your day. The consensus seems to be that Walsh will be the guy, with Lunt behind him. I think it will be the reverse of that, but what do I know, I'm just a dick. I think part of the reason they haven't named a starter yet is to keep all three around for next year. I'm talking about Chelf obviously, but I kinda feel for the kid. Does everything right, and get's his balls crushed by two freshman.

For fair and balanced coverage, he's the Tulsa World's take on the quarterback situation

I think writing for either state paper is a lot like writing here at CRFF, except we have coke parties with strippers and they get press passes. But we still all have the same opinion on who will be the next Cowboy quarterback- someone.

Jenni Bryan and two others are leaving the Cowgirl basketball program

Peace ladies.

Cowgirl tennis stuns #6 Texas, get's ready for the Big 12 championship

Hell yes, beat those puke orange wearing sluts. Our orange is way better for so many reason, not the least of which is the fact you can use an OSU shirt to signal for help if you're ever trapped in the woods.

Meet Charlie Moore. He used to be a quarterback. And he's white

That may be a bit raciss, but damn if I knew that. Until Saturday I didn't know Charlie Moore was on the roster (I shouldn't admit that or they'll reduce my pay). Anyway, he's a good kid and has a shot at a monster year this season. Fuck now I have a full on boner.

Cowgirl soccer finishes the spring exebition season with a 5-1-1 record

And the shortest news blurb I've ever seen. I think I've written more in these two sentences. Go Girls.

Cowboys Ride For Free Bedlam Baseball v0.9

Yes that's right boys and girls, it's Bedlam time. Sort of. Sure, your beloved Cowboys will battle those al qaeda loving (and 23rd ranked) Sooners, but it's a non-conference match. This comes about two weeks before the conference Bedlam series begins. I think this mid week series was started last year, with the Pokes playing in Norman, so this year the Sooners travel to Stillwater.

Slightly more after the jump...

Cowboys Ride For Free Oklahoma State Spring Game: 5 Burning Questions

Can the defense carry us back to Glendale? Does Montgomery know where he is? Does Andrew Luck have a mucus problem? Yes, no, defiantly.

No, that sensation you feel is not your VD flaring up, it's the questions you have about the spring game 2012. I've determined the 5 most important questions (I'm that good), and will try to give you an answer to those (but I will fail). Let's kick this pig-

1: Which quarterback will win the starting job?

Let's get the big one out of the way first, shall we? Prior to the start of spring ball, I was certain Clint Chelf, but as time has gone by and he hasn't take the reigns, I'm beginning to feel he will be stuck as a 4 year backup. He has the most time in the system, the most experience, and yet he can't beat out redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh, or true freshman (who's prom is next week) Wes Lunt. To me that mean's he's not the guy, and as much as I am a Chelf fan, if he can't win it outright, I say roll the dice with a young guy who will be the "future". From what I've heard (I still have a source or two at the school. All those jibber's are being rewarded), Walsh is the best "playmaker", Lunt is the best passer, and Chelf is the best leader. Well, when I hear that I interpret it as:

Lunt is a stud and will be our qb soon-

Walsh can scramble but has a noodle arm (and being compared to Colt McCoy isn't good if you want people to think you have a cannon for an arm. Or aren't a pussy)-

Chelf is losing to two freshman, his era is over with before it bega-

So, who do I think will start in August? Right now, a day before the spring game, my money is on Walsh, with Lunt redshirting. If Chelf does win it, I think we'll see a change by October (which means we'd have lost about 5 games)

Hump the jump for the other questions-

Cowboys Ride For Free Cowboy Baseball Report

Andrew-heaney_medium

via mlbdraftcountdown.files.wordpress.com

I know, I'm way late on a baseball report, but after basketball season I'm tired of reporting bad news. As of press time, the Cowboys sit at 14 wins and 14 losses, and 1-5 in Big 12 play. As they say when a porn star get's AIDS, that ain't good. What's worse is the direction we're headed, having lost 7 of their last 9 (to use another porn euphemism, we need a fluffer to get the team hard again). There was a time when I believed we were headed in the right direction, during a sweet five game winning streak, but that was a long time ago.

Looking ahead to this weekend's series against Kansas, we have a good chance to get back on the winning track, but I'm beginning to worry it's too late to make a push in Big 12 play. I'll put this as bluntly as I can, if we don't sweep Kansas we're done. Kansas isn't exactly dominant either, with a 12-16 record, but the way we’re playing they have the ability to beat us, and have a better Big 12 record at 2-4. Follow me over the jump and we’ll look at Kansas and the expectations the rest of the way

Cowboys Ride For Free 2012 Womens NIT Champions: Your Oklahoma State Cowgirls

R620-31d796c72b85abd1364da0cc820dd571_medium

via photos3.newsok.com

Hows that for a bookend to a season? A season that began with a tragedy, and ended with a championship. The Cowgirls overcame an amazing hardship to accomplish something great this year. I know we don't give much press to women's basketball (or mens for that matter, but I digress), but it's time we acknowledge the great season the girls had this year.

Cowgirl freshman sensation Liz Donohoe (the Big 12 Freshman of the Year) recorded her fifth straight double double in the championship game, Toni Young missed out on a double double by one rebound, and Tiffany Bias (all Big 12 second team) added a double double as well to help pace the Cowgirls past the Dukes.

I think whats most exciting about this is the fact there are zero seniors on this Cowgirl team. Read that again, everybody is coming back. I fully expect us to compete for a Big 12 championship next year (assuming Britney Griner finally has her dick exposed and is forced to play men's basketball next year), and we should be able to make a run in the NCAA tournament.

As I suspect everyone already knows, the team dedicated the win to Coach Kurt Budke, Miranda Serna, and the Branstetters, and I suspect they would be proud with the way the girls played Saturday.

Cowboys Ride For Free Thursday Is Not Round Two

Really?

What is going on right now? (9pm on Tuesday) I'll wait, go ahead and figure it out. Still stumped? Currently Iona and BYU are battling it out to make it into the NCAA tournament. Earlier Western Kentucky beat Mississippi Valley State to earn their place in the dance. Western God Damn Kentucky. Know their record? 16-18. Did they dominate the conference? Hell no, 7-9. Who's dick did they suck? Tomorrow Vermont and Lamar go at it, as well as South Florida and Cal, to try and get their place in the tourney. Does any part of that last sentence get your dick hard?

What's that? There aren't play-in games, their round one? Like hell. That's marketing trying to fuck with your brain son, that's CBS trying to milk another few hundred thousand out of the tournament, and that's society crumbling. Oh I hear you, and your "King you ignorant dick, I love the NCAA tourney more than life, I love college basketball, and I want 124 teams". Well, you are what's wrong with society (that, and BBW porn). As it is the regular season is diminished enough, the tourney is too big (and yet we still couldn't get in, damn Ford), and most of the teams don't deserve their invites.

But that's an arguement for another day. I'm here to argue with all those dickwads who want to pretend the first four games are "Round 1", and think that having these games is a good thing.

Cowboys Ride For Free TCU Mascot Change

I've received an email from a friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, of a draft of a news release TCU pans on giving out in a few days. There is a little bit of text, but first you need to see the new mascot changes:

Superfrognew_medium

The text reads:

"Dear Students, Faculty, Alumni, and Friends,

In light of recent events involving several students and athletes, we have decided it is in the University's best interest to modify our beloved mascot, Superfrog. We feel this change reflects the true identity of the University, and our wonderful students. In considering these changes, we reached out to our friends at Clemson University. The suggested the subtle, yet significant change that would help maintain our traditional values, yet show the world what we stand for. I know many of you are worried about the recent legal troubles facing several of our students and athletes, but rest assured, the University takes these charges very seriously, and will do everything necessary to restore your faith in TCU. Thank you, and

Go Frogs"

Well there you go, TCU is already working on damage control. Just hope they have enough players left to field a team next year.

Cowboys Ride For Free 2012 Cowboy Football Preview (Stupid Early Edition)

As I'm sure everyone knows by know, the 2012 Big 12 football schedule has been released (finally, dicks).Along with that comes speculation as to how the season will shape up. I'm here to answer that. Sure, we don't know who our quarterback will be and we don't know who "the guy" at wide receiver will be, but who cares? In Gundy I Trust (but fuck Bill Young). Along with being stupid early, this will also be stupid short. It's late, I'm tired, and my boss is an ass making me work 12 hour days (like I give a shit the future of the company rides on the project.) Oh wait, damn, now I do.

Savannah State: Win, next.

at Arizona: Win. They will get better, but as we saw at Michigan, it takes RichRod a while to get his players to fit his scheme, and in the meantime he can't adapt to what he has.

Louisiana: Win. As Todd Monken so eloquently put it, they only had one NFL type player last year, but we had Blackmon so fuck them. Also, that player is now gone, and it's at home, and well, they're still ULL to me.

Brandon Weeden

Johnny Thomas
Josh Cooper
Justin Blackmon
Markel Martin

I think we have 3 sure fire draft choices (Weeden, Blackmon, Blatnick), two who should (Martin, Cooper), and Thomas will need to put in work. Good luck boys, rape and pillage.

Cowboys Ride For Free Stupidly Early Top 25 And Big 12 Rankings

Football has been officially over for about 20 hours, which means my preseason Top 25 is about 16 hours late. I'm also going to pick the Big 12. Ummm, so here it is:

1: USC- Well, either this or the sanctions finally catch up with them.

2: Oregon- Will the ducks get back to the BCS title, or are they just jerking off?

3: LSU- That crazy hat wearing bastard will probably win at least 11 next year (and probably hopes to lose to bama in the "first" game this time)

4: Alabama- This may be the greatest return on investment for a "sold his soul to the devil" pact ever. Fuckers.

5: West "fuckin" Virginia- Did you see what they did to Clemson? Dana has a meeting next week in The Hague to discuss his crimes against humanity.

6: Oklahoma- Their favorite quarterback is back for another run, too bad he doesn't have anybody to throw to.

7: UGA- It's really amazing how quickly Mark Richt got on the hot seat this year (starting 0-2), then got off it (finishing 10-0) and then back on it (losing both the SEC champ game and their bowl game).

8: South Carolina- Has darth visor found his mojo in the Palmetto state? If so, God help us all.

9: Michigan State- Well one day they have to win the thing, right?

10: Florida State- Probably they'll choke on dick, but looking at what they have they should be good.

11-25 after the jump......

Cowboys Ride For Free Quick Bedlam Recap: Cowboys Win 72-65

Holy hell, we scored 72 points, I don't believe it. After getting, then blowing, a 17 point lead, the Cowboys manage to take the first Bedlam matchup at home in Stillwater. Somehow we finish with 13 assists to 13 turnovers. It felt like we had about 30 turnovers, and we were very careless with it at times (looking at you, Nash), but hey, I'll take a W this year any way I can get it. . Le'Bryan Nash led all scorers with 21 points, Keiton Page poured in 18 and Brian Williams added 13. In what was a sloppy game by both teams, it was the Cowboys ability to hit a few key shots (can't believe I typed that), and the Sooners inability to hit anything for about 10 minutes in the second half that led to the final. I can't provide you with as much analysis as the others can (I understand the finer points of basketball about as much as I do the finer points of dick piercings), so I'll leave that to the others. Enjoy being 2-1 in conference, continuing this years Bedlam dominance, and of course, beating the hell out of OU.

The saga is over, Mike Gundy has received a contract extension. Reportedly the extension is for 8 years (through 2019), and will pay 3.7 million a year. If you do the math that's a 1,600,000 extra bones in coach's pocket starting next year. Not to shabby.

Cowboys Ride For Free Oklahoma State vs Texas Preview

I realize we've sorta stopped doing previews around here, but I'm going to try and change that. Especially for the big games this season, and Texas certianly qualifies. But this won't be pretty, let's do it.

Hey, we won't go defeated in conference play! We might not win again, but we won't go 0-fer. The University of Texas Longhorns (see what I did there, makes this sound more legit. I'm sure I'll fuck that up soon), will bring their 10-4 record to the Frank Erwin Center to square off against our Cowboys, and their 8-6 record (imagine, we could legitimately finish 8-23. Phuck mii).

Texas, coming off a bad loss against Iowa State, will be looking to right the ship and get that first conference win. Your Cowboys, coming off a crushing victory against Texas Tech look to continue their winning ways (you see, its phrases like this that you see on sites where the writer is paid. I'm going to stop all that, and drop some knowledge with some truth). Look, here's the deal- we have no identity, little depth, and a coach who seems confused. I don't know what we're doing, and I don't think Travis Ford does either. From the games I've seen, our offense is "keep feeding Page, and hope he goes off for 30".

Texas, while not up to their usual standards, is much better at home than they are on the road, so I don't really see this as a winnable game. Be that as it may, follow me over the jump for a rundown of the matchup...

Cowboys Ride For Free Weeden To The Senior Bowl: Sanders Jr. To Stanford

It's been confirmed (for a couple of days now, my bad), that Brandon Weeden will participate in the 2012 Senior Bowl. I doubt this comes as any surprise, considering he's attempting to show NFL scouts he can succeed in a pro style system. I believe he's also participating in the combine, though I haven't seen that confirmed you. The Senior Bowl is January 28th at 3pm (CST), and will be shown on the NFL Network. So, any Cowboy fans near Mobile, AL, need to get out and support the Million Dollar Man, as he tries to become the Multi-Million Dollar Man (oh, and tickets are like $10, so no excuses).

As for the other news, ESPN (as well as many other sources) are reporting that Barry Sanders Jr. will announce his choice at the Army All-American game, and is expected to choose Stanford. I know some of you will be upset, especially considering his ties, but I think that going elsewhere would be better for both Jr. and Oklahoma State. It's better for him because he can never live up to his fathers legend here. And anyone who watched that game and saw Stanford rush for 250 and OSU rush for 13 would be hard pressed to say "yeah dad, I wanna go ride pine while Monken calls 90% pass plays and gay ass delays that never work". Also, he would be behind Joseph Randle, Jeremy Smith, and Herschel Simms for playing time. It's better for Oklahoma State because, and I'll sound like a dick for pointing this out, he's injury prone. I question his durability, and we really don't need that many good running backs. It's hard enough to keep Smith and Randle happy, and we already have Simms needing reps. Keep your browse pointed to the mothership for more BSJ news.

Cowboys Ride For Free Random Post-Fiest Bowl Musings

Well that's it, the 2011 Cowboy football season is over, and with a couple of days to digest it, I came to a few conclusions, and have decided to inflict those on you.

First off, it was an amazing season, which, outside of one game, showed some of the best Poke football I've ever seen. I hope we are now beyond quantifying wins or seasons now (because there is only one way to top this, and that's a national championship), because no matter how many Big 12* championships we may win, the first will always be the best. Really, I ask you, try and imagine another scenario that would be better. Were we to lose the game, the goons would have been in the Fiesta Bowl, and we would have probably fallen to the Holiday bowl. Instead, we beat the hell out of our most hated rival, win the conference, and win a BCS game against a team who isn't UCONN.

I have a couple more thoughts, follow me over the jump and I'll share them...
