Of the 12 playoff teams ,6 of them have coaches that have been head coaches at their respected programs less than less than 3 full years .

Oregon 3rd year
Miami 3rd year
Indiana 1st year
Notre Dame 3rd year
Alabama 1st year
Boise State 1st year

Obviously Bama was loaded but the rest are in much better shape than when these coaches took over .

The first two out of the playoffs also have head coach’s who have only been at their respected programs under 3 full seasons

SMU 3rd year
Texas A&M 1st year

For the rest of the top 25

LSU 3rd year
Washington State 3rd year
Colorado 3rd year
Louisville 2nd year
Vandy 4th year

12 of the top 25 teams have head coaches that have been at their programs in the same amount of time as BV .All those programs minus Bama are much lessor programs .
How are all those head coaches thriving ?
“He just needs more time “ ……is that really a legit excuse?

Anyone setting up a tailgate in Columbia on Saturday?

Since becoming head coach (Dec 2021) and admitting that he needs to focus on the trenches for the SEC, here are the OL recruits BV has brought in; 8 total with 1 already leaving and another nowhere on the depth chart.
Only one is a listed starter, and the rest are 2nd and 3rd team guys.

There are 4 recruits listed on this cycle which won't contribute next year. The guys above may or may not be starting material next year. We're going to be stuck digging for gold in the transfer portal. I just don't see this getting better next year. Tell me I'm wrong.

Are there any that are even a remote possibility ? I know some would feel it's a step down but it would depend on their circumstances of why they were let go (resigned etc)

Forgive my ignorance but was Gruden mentioned in previous searches? Not saying he is an option but thought I read years ago his name
I need all you rocket scientists input here.

Ou vs LSU- I have 3 tickets for sale. Sec 404 Row 27 seats 43-45; Sec 404 Row 28 seats 43-45. Asking $135 per ticket. Text me at 405-830-0181 if interested.

The other boards do a better job of keeping up with commits and their production during their seasons.

Not calling anybody out. Just saying it was a really good feature on the other boards.

Confirms Burks and Farooq are back

Venables was surprisingly reflective when discussing Missouri, Theo Wease and Cayden Green during today's press conference?

Random thoughts:

1) Never thought the day would come where I feel so much built up frustration about Missouri football. Missouri! But, here it is. We really need to kick *ss this week.

2) Little things lead to big things. A strong first half against the Rebels. A strong showing against Maine. Let’s keep building on this.

3) We have a true freshman get snaps at OL against Maine and his first snap he draws a flag for being a little too fiery. And our entire fan base eats it up. A collective recognition of positivity. Love it. Let’s get more of that fire in these next three games.

4) Everything matters. So many freshmen playing late against Maine. Confidence builder for all. And a TD for Helms gets OC choked up. Good stuff all around. And it all matters.

5) Kevin Johns. I want to hear more about this guy. Both our QBs looked sharp yesterday. What’s he telling them?

6) Running game. If we can keep this up… Fill in the blank. Thoughts on the running game against Missouri?

7) I buried the lead. Sorry. I’ve been hearing the misuse of “verse” a lot lately. Kind of bugging me so I have to vent. A simple search reveals:

Verse
A noun that refers to a part of a poem, song, or chapter of the Bible or the Koran. It can also refer to writing arranged in lines that have rhythm and often rhyme. For example, "Due to her writer's block, the poet could only complete a few verses each day".

and

Versus
A preposition that means "against" or "in contrast to or as the alternative of". It is often used in legal and athletic contexts. For example, "The next soccer match is Mexico versus the United States".

Okay, it’s on to Missouri. Sooners versus Tigers. Our chance to return them to their normal and rightful state of mediocrity. You know, that from which we last saw them the last time we played. We need to do so with authority for old times sake. I really want to see us hit on all cylinders. Possible? What’s the betting line? Let’s gooooo!

Want to sit in OU allotment. Reasonable price thru OU app. Randy 620-238-0268

You heard it here first. Things are clicking

why won’t you guys ask the question where is Nic Anderson? Andrel???? Ask the questions please.

First, let me quickly say that I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Woodi Washington. As far as I can tell, he is a great teammate, loves OU, works hard, and he has made important plays during his career (remember all his INT’s against TX his freshman year?)

But I don’t think he is a good fit at Cheetah/Nickle. The drop off between he and Dolby is very noticeable. I’d like to see more of Hardy on obvious passing situations and Dasan/Sammy against the run or blitzing.

Finally, I think Woodi is a better corner than Kani amd Malone. Don’t get me wrong—Woodi has had bad moments but I’d rather see a heavy dose of Eli at one corner and Jacobe/Woodi at the other.

Just my opinion.

After reading the quote about NIL from venables. Next year will be his last.
In today's world you can't have that mindset. I hate it and I hope he rethinks it because he could be a great ball coach.

After watching the last 2 games, I feel way better about the O line. There is some athleticism there. They've gotten better, bet their graded better as well. I like Dent and Howland at tackles. Give them some time, let them learn now and another off season and they'll be vastly improved. EPL has that dawg in him.....reminds me of Samia and Trent Williams and Cody Ford.....looking for a fight. Need more nasty from the Oline. Fasusi and Fodje will bring it next year as well. I am feeling way better moving forward.. Want to see who plays against Mizzou and how they do. Wonder who gets the starting nods?
The future looks good guys.

Just saw that CNN called the election for President-Elect Harris. Not a surprise

@Parker Thune is this kid getting some OU love? Michigan , Georgia, Auburn, Kstate etc all offers. Only a sophomore and lives 70 miles from my place. One my daughters knows him. Boomer!!!

Does he have to win all 3 remaining games? Even then would most want him to stay or would most prefer someone new? After a turnaround like that I would think he would be the favorite going forward. Here’s where it gets interesting - What if we win 2 of the last 3? What then for JJF?

What has happened to Pettaway? He is not listed on the injury report. Is he deep in the doghouse? What’s up?

Where the hell is Linderwood and how did they end up on our MBB schedule? I guess we count it as a W and move on.
