Here is part of it below and it is dead on.

It’s Year 3, and Venables still doesn’t appear to have an understanding of his Oklahoma program or the situation the Sooners find themselves in. One early fourth-down decision wouldn’t have flipped what became a 34-3 loss, but field goals were never going to beat Texas.

It’s unacceptable for a program like Oklahoma to be in this position at this point in a coach’s tenure, with zero answers on offense, a leaky offensive line and a messy quarterback situation of their own making.

For the second time in three years, Venables’ Oklahoma team was blown out by the Longhorns and failed to score a touchdown. That never happened under Lincoln Riley. It never happened under Bob Stoops. It happened once to John Blake, and he was fired at the end of that season. From 1965 to 2021, Oklahoma scored three or fewer points against its Red River rivals just once. It has now happened twice under Venables.

Story here on OU adding Ella Kate Smith to the 2026 class: https://oklahoma.rivals.com/news/ou-softball-sooners-land-highly-coveted-pitcher-in-2026-class-1.

Just a couple other notes. I've been told EKS was the huge recruit OU has had its eye on for months now. She's wanted to be a Sooner for some time, and this weekend Patty Gasso made it happen. She got Smith to Norman this weekend and got the commitment she was looking for.

Basically, OU feels like this is a pretty big statement to make in the 2026 class. They feel like they got the player were after the most.

The last several years have been painful to watch as an OU fan. Coaching seems to be nonexistent? What players can we point to that have gotten better over time (Stutsman regressed, Bowman regressed, RBs are all missing eyes, TEs can figure out how to block...)? At what point do we just say enough is enough.

I turn on other games and see Vandy beating Bama, Arkansas beating Tennessee, and other smaller school looking WELL COACHED. Shoot, man it's just easier to watch. Why?

Im kinda over OU football until they get their shit together.

Not sure what my point is other than watching OU CFB is supposed to be fun and it hasnt been in a very long time.

If you've got a hot take or a question, post it here. I'll get to them later in the week.

Here's my coldest take in the history of takes: the offense is bad.

I have 4 tickets to the S.Carolina game for sale. I can’t go, I’ll be working. Great seats.. Section 108, Row 11, Seats 23-26. Right on the isle and next to breezeway for easy entry and exit. $40 each, so $160 for all. Really don’t want to split them.

Alright, guys, it wasn't easy... But I know you'll appreciate this.

We dug through the offensive slog that was OU-Texas and picked six plays that not only determined Saturday's game but will also be necessary for OU to address for the remainder of the season.

However I don’t think BV will get axed this season and not even sure JH would be on the list even if BV did get fired.

Listened to you today on kref
Regarding bb and nil…..are you saying coaches weren’t consulted on nil spending on recruits??

If not then who makes that decision ?

I haven’t seen anything on Nate Roberts lately. I checked rivals and it shows our mods are predicting he go to OU. Any updates on him and when we get him on campus? Getting late in the season for a flip but I’ll trust Drumm and Thorne on this.

BV has to take decisive action to save his job and the future success of this program. He must start by immediately firing Littrell.

Anyone else a little surprised we haven’t seen him at all unless I just have never noticed? We heard a lot of buzz about him in the offseason and hell I figured they would let him pin his ears back a few times on some obvious passing plays?

Listening to the last pod, you guys said JA is done with playing at OU.

Why doesn’t Brent kick him off the team if he isn’t willing to help the team?

2 section 30, row 18, seat 11-12 with parking pass and 2 champio tailgate passes, I have 4 if needing all 4.
$300 for tickets, parking pass and 2 champion tailgate passes.

I am going to buy some, but I would like them in the OU section, and I didn’t know if OU had released them yet for download. Until then they probably won’t be up for resale.

Honest question. Does anybody here truly think OU is headed in a positive direction? A pedestrian 48th ranked defense(11th in SEC), two of the worst losses in program history to Texas in three years, and SOMEHOW one of the most incompetent offenses in CFB, at OKLAHOMA the epitome of offense and innovation for 20+ years. How do you destroy that offensive culture in one offseason? The only competent coach on the offensive side of the ball left for a HC job, and the rest are a joke. I just can’t believe how far expectations have fallen here since Riley’s departure. Imagine telling any of us in 2017 or 2019 that OU would have one of the worst offenses in CFB in a few years, no running game, no difference makers at WR(Burk’s and farooq are barely average), and an OL full of portal guys from g5 programs who can’t even block Tulane or Houston….There is no remedy in sight either.

Can’t make game bc youth sports. Text 405-615-2470 if interested

How can we have the most incompetent offense in the country? Obviously, the WR injuries have stunted us BUT

We have recruited very well
We have blue chippers all over the place on offense
We have way more NIL than 90% of teams out there

I'd love to ask these questions to the admins on this site, but there are just too many questions.

How do we not have a single offensive position group better than below average (D grade)?
How can our TE be SO bad at blocking?
How can our two blue chip QB's look worse than most non power QB's?
How do we not have ANY playmakers at ALL?
How is it that we have no real difference makers on the OLine?
How can we not have a single serviceable RB, with even avg. vision, that can hold on to the ball?
How can we be at the absolute bottom off college football in yards per play with all the athletic speed we have?
Maybe most damning...Why does everyone on offense look like they are scared to make a play?
Who is responsible for our offense completely flatlining after Lebby's departure?

This just doesn't make ANY sense. We've played some really shiity defenses this year and YET coming into today we were...

128/134 in yards per play
121/134 in yards per game
107/134 in rushing yards per play
117/134 in passing yards per game
122/134 in passing yards per attempt
130/134 in passing yards per completion!!
121/134 in total 3rd down conversions per game
128/134 in 3rd down conversion %

AND I'M GUESSING IT GOT WORSE TODAY!

I don't understand how this level of offensive putrescence is even possible with the athletes we have on the field. We absolutely have to be 134/134 in production from blue-chip players on offense in the country. Why are we getting nothing out of our players. Why has there been ZERO development. How is it that we haven't improved one ounce since the first of the year? How is it so obvious that there are no fixes in sight?

This all is mind boggling for how much effort we put into getting the best high schoolers in the country onto the field. We do the exact same thing on defense and we've become a amazing unit on that side. WTF is going on on offense???

I've never been one to say fire coaches, but I must say our offensive coaches are getting less production from the talent level at their disposal than any team in the country. BV NEEDS to do something ASAP.

DAMN...Sorry, I'm done venting

I have a group of 6 tickets for the Ole Miss game next weekend, but one ticket just became available as a friend had to drop out last minute. If you’re interested, please message me.

The seats are in Section A, Row 46, and you’d be with us in Seats 1-6. BOOMER!
