Looks like Gundy has been resting Sanders and purposely put him in the 2nd half and is 9-11 88 yards and a TD.... I am not saying Sanders for Heisman.. Looks like Gundy was holding Sanders for Bedlem... If he looks good the remaining of this game and pulls these one out for OSU.. i bet Sander will be the starter in Norman...

That doesn’t involve Team 128 sucking. Personally - got a banger of a fire going in our Solo Stove, having some drinks with some friends, may open a bottle of Eagle Rare later. Beautiful night, absolutely zero wind. Life ain’t that bad.

Looking forward to 20% off on my Dead Soxy order for Christmas.

(Bill Murray - so I got that going for me gif)

When Redmond’s lazy ass told Dusty and Gabe on Wednesday he hadn’t studied film. And yet he’s named a Captain. Glad he took that honor so serious this week. Looking at defensive stats he’s nowhere to be found in the stat book. I agree BV and co could’ve done some things better but this regime of players can’t gtfo of here sooner.

Need TCU to win this.

I'm hearing he is out for the rest of the season.

Gunnar Gundy szn begins

and overall game management killed this game for OU.

Go get him 😆 and brady

BV has made it a point to mention the lack of experience on this team. But moving forward at what point do you begin to give some of these talented young players meaningful game reps?

Guys like Jake Taylor, Jacob Sexton, Savior Byrd, Gentry Williams, Tyler Guyton, Jaren Kanak (besides special teams), RSJ.

I understand this was always going to be a rebuild year. We got decimated coming into this year so I fully expected a down year.

All these things being considered I am most disappointed with how badly this team has regressed in EVERYTHING.

Bad coaching, poor player development, lack of disciplined football, poor fundamentals in every aspect of the game. That is all on coaching. I was expecting some big improvements on the simple things: better tackling, better defensive formations, better at discipline (lack of stupid penalties killing momentum). Things we have grown accustomed to seeing with the previous regime.

Nothing has changed and I would say it has gotten worse. Simply unexplainable how this team has gotten worse game after game.

BV going for a field goal was simply dumb. Not in those conditions should you ever get your FG kicker out there. It was a stupid call among many others. Our offense is terrible with that hurry up shit that simply doesn’t make any sense. You are going to put your shit defense out there after a hurry up offense for what purpose? So they can get abused again and again? Simply disheartening how bad this entire team looks like. To top it off now we are looking to lose some of our top recruits. This could be another painful era of OU football if we don’t address these issues ASAP.

Deal with it. NM

We must follow the tight end. That announcer must have said that 100 times, drove me crazy.

We had it stopped. 4/5 guys there to make an easy stop but everyone flew to the boundary and over ran it. Gave them an easy cut back for a 1st down. I mean if you see it’s dead to the boundary does nobody think to slow down and not give that cut back?

Just seems to be the entire season, easy stops for losses end up 4/5 yard gains. That easy play on a terrible fake punt wins the game. No discipline

This is about as interesting of a time being a Sooner fan as I can recall. You seemingly have half of the fan base who were ready to fire BV and the staff yesterday, versus another half of the fan base that thinks our roster & program were decimated by LR and the current group of players are mentally and emotionally incompetent of embracing BVs culture and scheme. Like everything in life, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. As this season started to fall apart, I was firmly in the camp of giving BV time and patience. The roster turnover, overall loss of production, key NFL departures, loss of your star QB, not to mention installing completely new offensive and defensive schemes. As the season has progressed, though, I can’t help but become less and less forgiving and lenient with the on-field product.

Some concerning thoughts as the season ends:

1. Outside of a few individual efforts (Gray, Willis, Bowman) and one position group (O Line), this team has firmly regressed across the board. QB play is average, WR play is average (largely due to QB play IMO). RBs outside of Gray have been average , although Barnes shows flashes. Defensively, it’s been an abject disaster across every position group.

2. The play calling on both sides of the ball has been eyebrow-raising, especially on offense. Today we run an out-flanked reverse on 3rd and 3, a hitch route 4 yards short of the sticks on 3rd and long. We run more bubble screen than I’ve ever seen today and never even attempt to threaten the middle or throw an intermediate pass. I’ve never seen a team in more 3rd and longs this season then OU, it’s truly bizarre. One game is an aberration, but this has been a pattern though the season, especially in crucial situations. I said early in the season my big fear with Lebby is that his offense is too “gimmicky” with the tempo and dependence on RPOs and PA in the passing game. I stand by that as we sit today.

3. This defense is a mess, I have no other way to describe it. Guys out of position pre-snap, not even set against tempo offenses, consistent busted coverages and gaping holes in our zones against the pass. Beyond that, this team has the worst run fits I can recall in a long, long time. Worse than Ruffin & Mike, considerably worse then Grinch. For as bad as the passing defenses were under those guys, this year’s run defense has been equally bad if not worse.

4. This team completely lacks any type of discipline or football IQ. It really is one of the most aggravating teams to watch that I can recall. You can blame the players as much as you want, but at some point you have to look inward as a coaching staff and evaluate how you are communicating your message. If you have some players who simply refuse to listen to the message (which appears to be the case), show them the bench and play the young kids that you at least have a chance of one day reaching.

5. Small player note: I can’t think of a more inconsistent football player then Danny Stutsman. Flashes of brilliance, typically when he’s blitzing or running a ball carrier down side-side. But I’ve never seen a LB take on offensive linemen full body and get absolutely engulfed the way he does 2-3 times a game. It’s astounding how good (and bad) he can be.



Some musings about the future:

1. This roster will have (and frankly needs) a mass exodus of players. I believe our personnel is a lot closer to average then elite, regardless of what our past recruiting rankings indicate. I know BV is old school and wants to build his team with HS recruits, but reality is he may have to rely on the portal and JUCO if he wants to survive the next few seasons here. Getting a class of 30 HS guys and trying to win with FR and SO the next couple years is no easy task.

2. Piggybacking on that thought, I genuinely don’t think there’s a single position we shouldn’t be looking to upgrade in the portal. Defensively, this current roster is so bleak outside of Bowman and the young guys (RMT, RSJ, Kanak, Halton).

3. This is just my opinion and I’m sure some will disagree, but BV needs to take an introspective look at his coaching staff at the end of the season. Our special teams today were collectively terrible. Our defensive ends are undisciplined and make zero impact. They crash inside and lose containment, have no concept of leverage, and can’t play a downblock against the read to save their life. I know BV wanted to build a staff with “his guys”, but fresh (and experienced) blood might help. We are seeing some Clemson fans criticizing Dabo right now for that same mentality with how he has built his staff this year.

My final summation: I still believe in BV and will give him the benefit of the doubt heading into next year. But at the end of the day, he and his staff have improvements to make. If we don’t see improvement (at least 7-8 wins in year 2), I don’t see how that seat doesn’t start to warm up.

This sucks. It flat out does, but it doesn’t suck as bad as getting our hearts ripped out of chest like we did in 21 when that was supposed to be “the team”.

Further more I would much rather be in the position we are in now than be a fan of Alabama where I 100% thought my team was the best in CFB this year and a Natty was all but guaranteed and looks like they will have at least 3 L’s this year.

Things will turn around!

Its coming. Osu will skull drag us and we wont beat taco tech. I just got sick.

embarrassing. Hope we can keep our recruits. Doubtful.

The portal losses will be interesting.

To get fůcked up. For those not already there...

This is not a bitch thread ... or a pussy boy thread ..


just a regular we ****ing suck and it sucks to even watch this shit show go down in flames thread.

At least Beth Mowins did not call the game. That is all I got.

Oh man, that was rough.

The decision to only rush 3 on 4th and 10 and then decision to try the FG on 4-2 in driving rain when the kicker had already missed.

Stone updates his overall recruitment with a possible Dec. commitment coming.
