I've been told that the rumors that we've been mentioning for a few weeks now, came to fruition as tonight - Ryan Watts decommitted from Oklahoma.

I don't expect this to be a situation where the Sooners try and get back involved, I think they are going to wash their hands and move forward.

Ruh roh?

Clear we need another dynamic recruiter on defense.

No reason to wait.

Jalen Hurts doesn't fit the mold of a Lincoln Riley quarterback, but here's why the Sooners are interested and pursuing Hurts to be their next quarterback.

Why the Sooners are interested in Jalen Hurts

what are we hearing........? As Doyle goes, it affects Manning - especially with Ronnie Perkins doing so well in this new defense.

Lincoln, how's his arm strength??

Watching this game reminds me allot of the John Blake era. This is a proud program that’s not only won national titles but has dominated whole eras. And now they’ve been reduced to this.

I never liked theses guys much growing up since it was such a rivalry but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, not even Nebraska.

I know Nebraska sucks, but the Buckeye defense looks good. They have a ton of speed

CB Ryan Watts
Little Elm, Texas/Little Elm High School
ESPN 300 rank: 236

Committed to: Oklahoma
Other school pursuing: Ohio State

Watts has been committed to Oklahoma since April, but he recently took an official visit to Ohio State in September. Watts took in the Buckeyes' game against Miami (Ohio), but remains committed to the Sooners. Hanging on to him would be a big win for Oklahoma, as the coaching staff is looking to continue improving its defense. Oklahoma has already lost commitments from corners Dontae Manning, Darion Green-Warren and Jalen Huff in this class, so losing out on another would be a big blow. Watts is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound defensive back who would fit in very well with Ohio State and would be a candidate to contribute early for Oklahoma, so this will be interesting to watch what unfolds.

Anyone noteworthy?

Means Sterns will miss the OU-Texas game. They are beat up in the secondary.

Three questions:
Which ones that you’ve visited are your top 3?
Which one is most underrated?
Which one is top of the bucket list?

UPDATED SCOOPHD -- Alex Grinch on the Trejan Bridges working with the defense:

Still over here at practice BUT Alex Grinch confirmed Trejan Bridges has been working at safety.

Will update when we’re done.

Feel sorry for Dax Hill for choosing Michigan . He should have stayed home and played for the Sooners who most likely willing be playing for another conference championship and possibly a national championship. Don't know the issues, but his family should be ashamed. Josh Proctor at least has a better chance at Ohio State. Growing up and playing ball on the great state of Oklahoma, I would have given a left _ _ _ to have had an off from THE University of Oklahoma.

it helps OUr recruiting

We don't have one. So let's starts one...lol



Let's pretend ND actually pulls the upset. Do they get the same respect as LSU and jump OU?

terrrible

I'm not sure how so many people are so clueless about reddit streaming essentially any sporting event you could ever want... You can watch all pay per view games and any games you don't get in your region. Heres the link..

Literally all you have to do is google "OU vs South Dakota Reddit CFB streams. You'll find about 40 different people streaming it for you for free.

I see a lot of posters on the Scoop wanting the horns to win simply because they want Tito Tom and his boys to be as highly rated as possible when we stomp their ass in October. I would love to see LSU roll their ass in week two and stop all of this “we’re BAAACCK” BS. I live in Austin and am sick and tired of hearing this rhetoric. Unlike some, I want to see texas lose every game they play. Am I wrong in this assessment?

We all know the featured games this week. UT vs LSU, A&M vs Clemson, and surprisingly Tennessee vs BYU has become a story line. It would be a bigger meltdown than last week as two of the better teams in the SEC would have lost early. I would love to hear the meltdown on ESPN and the Finebaum show if that happens. On a separate note, the more $EC teams lose, the more the recruiting narrative will starts to change hopefully swinging momentum in our direction as we expand our efforts in the South for elite players.

It’s time to get started with our sixth year of the Sooner Survivor Series - the annual Big 12 Survivor Pool.

The rules are simple:

---(READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY, AGAIN) as there are only 10 Big 12 teams we always spend the end of the year filling out the regular season schedule. Well, to keep me from hating my life while filling out 500+ winners (until my upset comes in) we’re going to do it in reverse. The first four weeks will be picking ONE winner from three hand picked games around college football. You don’t need to pick the winner of each, you simply pick the winner of ONE of the three games. If you’re right, you advance, if you’re wrong, your season ends early.

---Starting in week five, you’ll pick one Big 12 team each week that you think will win that week's game. If your team wins, you advance to the next week. When a team you picked loses, you are eliminated from the competition. Remember you ARE NOT picking against the spread, these are straight up win/lose scenarios.

---Once you've picked a school, you cannot pick them again the rest of the season. This means you have to pick carefully and assess for things like bye weeks, matchups, etc.

---There are no byes for participants. In other words, you have to pick a team every single week. You have to watch later in the season to make sure you have a team to pick every week, because if you get into a situation where every team you have left is on a bye week and can't pick a team, you'll unfortunately be eliminated.

---Also, you MUST have your picks in before the first game on the docket (it will always be the first game listed below).

--- If anyone (or multiple people) can make it all the way through 14 weeks without losing, we'll use the bowl weeks as tie-breakers.

If anyone has any other questions, please feel free to write them below!

And now, here are the options for Week One.

Every Big 12 team is playing this week so the entire league is fair game. Remember, once you pick a team, you can't pick them again the rest of the season. And when you pick a losing team, you're out. Good luck to everyone!
