OU notepad: Finley excited about 'chance of a lifetime' as new co-OC

Finley made his first public comments since being hired as co-OC on Tuesday. He also offered his first thoughts on new TE signee Davon Mitchell.

Plus, Ted Roof had an interesting thing to say regarding his future.

Seth Littrell fulfilling dream as Sooners' new OC: 'This place is home'

"This place obviously means everything to me. I've been trying to get back here for 23 years, and so this is obviously the place I want to be."

Littrell discussed his dream of coaching at OU, his mindset heading into the bowl game, Jackson Arnold and more in his first press conference as the Sooners' new OC.

Christmas Eve update on Geno VanDeMark (Sun 5:35pm)

Obviously, the Sooners got a long-awaited announcement from Febechi Nwaiwu on Friday, but are still waiting on a decision from former Michigan State offensive guard Geno VenDeMark.

This is reminiscent of the Sooners' pursuit of Troy Everett in many ways. Some of you will recall that it became a back-and-forth, drawn-out battle between Oklahoma and Virginia Tech this past spring for Everett's services. This time around, Michigan State is to VanDeMark what Virginia Tech was to Everett. The situation appears to be as simple as this: if VanDeMark does end up transferring, Oklahoma would be the destination. But there is a substantial NIL deal on the table if he returns to East Lansing, and I'm also told the Spartans have the all-important girlfriend factor working in their favor.

A well-placed OU source conceded that VanDeMark's pledge to Oklahoma appeared imminent a week ago, but added, "The longer it goes, the less I feel good about it." And I think that's a pretty apt summary. With each day that passes, the likelihood increases that VanDeMark just stays put. If we don't have a decision by the end of the coming week, I'd bank on VanDeMark withdrawing from the portal and returning to Michigan State. And one way or another, I would no longer count on VanDeMark being a Sooner. It may very well still happen, but the likelihood is continually diminishing in real time.

Walter Nolen To Ole Miss...Ole Miss Is All In!

It is clear, with their weak schedule next year and what they have paid in the TP, Lane Train has sold the university on 2024 being their year to make a run at a Natty.
They have pushed all their chips in.
The bad news for Ole Miss is that Lane will **** up at least 1 game somewhere along the season. Lets hope its against the Sooners!

Merry Christmas you magnificent fellow Sooner SOBs

Merry Christmas you magnificent bastards, similar to my Thanksgiving message. Thanks for putting up with me, and I lightly apologize for any of my Sooner die hards I have pissed off after a post mortem loss and too many Coors Banquets. To JA, BV, Danny “the Animal” Stutman, Billy, Billy, Billy and Gave “wild bird” Sawchunk, let’s go get a ****ing win in SATX and crash the ****ing front door of the SEC next season. BOOMER DAMN SOONER!!!🥃

Steal of the Class?

Did a bit of comp on Andy Bass and Christian McCaffrey. Not saying Bass is gonna be McCaffrey, and not desiring to put pressure on Bass, but Bass sure compares favorably to the future NFL Hall of Famer. Measurables are insanely close.
