Sorry this one took me so long, I was busy cutting all our 3rd down conversions

Josh mentioned that a top 250 player was coming to the game, but the player didn’t want it publicized in advance. I may have missed it, but who was it?

Alright,

This is a follow up to my previous post about David Hicks and A&M.

I have been informed by my friend, that David’s family is growing concerned by the lack of communication from Jimbo, and clarity of the future of the program. Throw in the locker room instability on top of that.

Bottom line? Mom is wanting him to go to OU, and be with Bates, and that is A&M’s major concern. They’re basically throwing everything they can at him, and telling him they’ll match whatever we give + 20%.

The NIL crew at A&M expects him to flip after this weekend.

• Attendance for Saturday’s game at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium was 84,132, marking OU’s 146th straight sellout of an originally scheduled home game, dating back to the start of the 1999 season. It is the nation’s second-longest current streak.
• Oklahoma improved to 91-19-7 (.808) all-time against Oklahoma State and 44-9-2 (.818) in the series in Norman. OU’s .808 winning percentage vs. OSU is the best among the 25 FBS series with at least 110 games played.
• OU’s 91 wins against OSU are its most against one opponent and tied for the most in FBS history against one program (Nebraska has 91 wins vs. Kansas).
• OU has won 10 of the last 11 meetings and 17 of the last 20, and is 15-3 against the Cowboys with Mike Gundy as head coach.
• Oklahoma has secured bowl eligbility for the 24th straight season. OU’s 23-year bowl streak is the second longest nationally and the longest in program history. The next-longest streak in school history was eight (1975-82).
• The Sooners have won 25 of their last 29 November games, with 12 of those coming against AP Top 25 teams.
• Oklahoma registered four interceptions in the game (three in the first half). The last time the Sooners intercepted four passes was in 2015 vs. Texas Tech. The last time OU recorded four interceptions in a game vs. OSU was 1987.
• With its four interceptions tonight, Oklahoma now has 15 on the season and is tied with Kansas State for the Big 12 lead.
• The Oklahoma defense tied its season high with six sacks and recorded 13 tackles for loss (one shy of season high). This was the third time OU has registered double-digit TFLs this season. The Sooners had six sacks and 14 TFLs vs. Kent State.
• OU defenders were also credited with 12 QB hurries, which is tied for the program’s fourth-most QB hurries in a game since the tracking of defensive stats began in 1970.
• The Sooners allowed Oklahoma State to convert only 7 of 22 third downs (32%). It was the eighth time this season the Sooners have held an opponent below a 40% third-down conversion rate. OSU was also 0 for 2 on fourth downs.
• Oklahoma outgained Oklahoma State 365 to 153 in total yardage in the first half and averaged 7.9 yards per play to OSU’s 3.6.
• Oklahoma’s 28-point first-quarter lead (28-0) was its largest ever against Oklahoma State in an opening quarter. It was also the most points OU has scored in an opening quarter vs. OSU (previous high was 24 points in 1979).
• OU’s 299 total yards in the first quarter established a school record for total yards in an opening period, surpassing the previous standard of 298 yards, set against Kansas State in 1988. It was also OU’s second-most total yards gained in any quarter (record is 312 in third quarter at Colorado in 1980).
• The Sooners’ 224 passing yards in the first quarter were their most ever in an opening quarter (previous record was 202 vs. TCU in 2008). Tonight was only the second time OU has gained at least 200 passing yards in an opening quarter. The school record for passing yards in any quarter is 230 (fourth quarter vs. Texas Tech in 2007).
• OU has allowed a total of nine first-half points over the last two games (allowed six points last week at West Virginia and three tonight). The last time OU allowed nine or fewer first-half points in consecutive games against Big 12 opponents was 2012 (allowed two points vs. Texas and shut out Kansas).

My background. Turned 65 last month. I've worked out (weights for prob the last 30 years) and cardio (endurance distance bicycle for the last 15 years -- not as much bicycle for the last 2-3 years because I need to spend more time with my grandson who lives with me). ANYWAY. For the last year or so I've found myself arguing with my brain more and more. I need to work out but my brain says "Nah. You're good." And when I do win the argument I find often I can't get through the entire workout without losing the argument. I've even started a work out and then without even finishing the first sets I quit because I just don't have the energy.

Soooo. I went to a hormone doctor and found out I have testosterone levels way low. They inserted a testosterone pellet in my butt last friday. Went upstairs today to work out for the first time since then. No argument from my brain. I just went up. Started out and felt good through the first sets. Plenty of energy. Finished all three sets like I used to. Never once did I have an argument with my brain about stopping. In fact, did a short set after I finished because I just felt good.

Has anyone else had this type of a rapid response? I'm wondering if this is just a placebo effect this soon. But I don't think it is because I just felt normal.

Edit: By put a pellet in my butt I meant they did a stab incision and inserted the pellet into the tissue on my right buttocks. Definitely wasn’t pleasurable. Lol.

I HATE IT HERE

JA completed 19-of-22 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 110 yards and four touchdowns in the playoff win against perennial powerhouse Highland Park HS.

The good news is this coaching staff will have a full year of film to work with, something they didn’t have before. They will have a big time recruiting class adding to their own players making up the majority of the team. Lebby will understand what worked and what didn’t and I expect BV to have very candid conversations with his coaches. DG had no one behind him pushing for starting role, that will not be the case next year. I believe Evers will be better, JA coming in early will pay dividends and the competition will be good. Defense won’t be so Jeckyl and Hyde, staff is pretty good even though non of believe in Roof. I think BV has a bigger say so in a number of things next year. I’m excited!

Pretty impressed with the conditioning of the d having to play 19 series and they were still getting after it late.

Not the case in recent years.

F***you you idiots

There is just something very, very wrong with this team. Fabulous for a quarter, then nothing. I just don’t get it. I realize everyone thinks this, but my goodness. Brent, Brent, Brent. You are failing badly right now.
I hope BV has a come to Jesus with himself in the off season.

Where we going and who we playing?

Best of the best from Bedlam.

*First qtr blowout
*Offensive ineptitude rest of the way
*Turk's magical night
*Senior night emotions

Story:

It’s Just a joke so all you Lebby apologists don’t get your panties all knotted up.

Dudes like DaShaun White, Jalen Redmond deserved that moment.

OU 28, OSU 13
Play No. 1: Stoops goes high
Play No. 2: Farooq is on fire
Play No. 3: Laulu ‘no way’
Play No. 4: Bowman baits
Play No. 5: White gets his senior moment

Story:

OU goes 4-2 over the last 6 games which I think is better than most expected after the 3 straight losses. I thought they would right the ship completely and go 6-0 but I also bought the hype during the off-season and thought the stars were aligning.
How about a little bit of history repeating itself at the liberty bowl vs ole miss?

To find which seniors still have a COVID season left. Thanks!

I noticed all the recruits on the sideline were given big OU coats. It’s a little thing I know, but with it being 28 degrees that’s a good move by the recruiting department/program especially with guys coming in from South Texas. Probably typical but something you wouldn’t want to overlook.

Spencer Sanders threw 67 passes tonight and OSU still ran the ball more times than OU. 35 (OSU) to 34 (OU).

OU defense had 6 sacks and 13 TFLs tonight

And those bastards were lucky when Klieman even though Martinez took us to town.. He has been $hit all other games and why he decided to yank Howard for the Texas loss is beyond me.. I think Howard would have killed Texas secondary. I was probably wishing KU would have a chance yesterday after the Austin media shaming Sarkisian for not running #5 and I should have known Robinson would go crazy on that weak @ss D...Baylor hurt themselves buy throwing a int right before the half.. I bet anyone Aranda will get Baylor right because of that int should have gotten KSU ahead and no telling how that game would have ended.. plus they were shamed by KSU last week.. I can't see Aranda losing 3 games in a row..

I think we will go down lubbuck and this D will get enough stops if we can get Mims to give Foroog some of that invisible stickum and we can atleast catch the catchable balls even though it's about 50% on that happening with all D.G's over throws or him trying to hit the moon.. I think we can come back to Norman 7-5 But the D will be key of they can continue the improvement.. Hell I thought Gray would have a nght last night considering OSU was 84th in rushing defense so I don't know what to think with TECH right beside OSU in 84th in rushing defense. Hopefully Rahm and who ever else that was injured last night are back.. Rahm has to hike the ball.. I am surprise Congel didn't put the ball on the ground.

Here's to hoping for 7-5

....!

Mods that get a chance, need to grill that POS come interview time on this clock management

This is unacceptable as an Oklahoma coach, bottom line!

Someone post it. It’s happening
