JD Runnels

Players transferring from team to team... Good players gone after one season... Players getting paid... Over-priced tickets, apparel, concessions.... Sitting in the hot sun baking to death... Nope, it's not about college football this time. It's the latest "professional" football league, the UFL.

The Oklahoma City Wranglers will kick off in a make-shift stadium in the OKC Crossroads Mall parking lot in April 2023. Hey, why not? I used to watch professional boxing in the Gary Dale's BBQ parking lot arena and it was a blast. As for the UFL, it's difficult to believe it will have a long life, but should be entertaining to watch, even if it is a mishmash thrown together in a has-been mall parking lot.

What makes it better is JD Runnels has been named Head Coach. I absolutely love the guy.

Coaches recruiting assignments

Just a question for many of you that know way more than I do about the recruiting scene. Do the coaches recruit by position group or geography or certain schools. I see some twitters posted on recruits, and there are some with Bates, but on the defensive side, almost all with BV. I don't remember seeing a lot of noise with Lebby and Roof. I know Lebby got JA, but not sure about other recruiting wins. Coach B seemed to land 4 OL. Demarco got some RB's. But it appears that BV has been involved with almost every defensive recruit. What is Roofs role in recruiting. Ditto for Lebby. Just not sure why the posts don't show more involvement from these two. I assume they are good salesman? Yes/no?

Exactly what are the transfer rules now?

It seems like college football is now pretty much like the wild west. Kids can do anything they want anytime they want with wherever they want to play. It used to be that once a kid signed a LOI you could quit worrying about him for at least a year. But with all the changes, is that really still the case? So are there still any rules in regard to how long a kid has to honor his LOI before he can jump ship? And does he have to wait for "portal season" to transfer or can he just pull up stakes and move anywhere anytime? I don't think I've ever heard anyone give specifics on what the rules are now.

Ready for another year?

In other words, did they play?

With the four-game redshirt rule, it's a lot different in keeping tabs on true freshmen and other class members. Used to be that you could check 'em off as soon as you saw 'em (as long as they didn't get a season-ending injury early-ish in the year).

Now? Ya got four games to play with. So going to keep track. Who played? Who didn't? And then we'll start eliminating guys once they've surpassed the four-game mark because you know they won't be redshirted.

Moser declines to answer new arena Q

FkHSG3nUYAIaXXR


I said on the pod that I thought Porter wouldn't answer the arena survey during the season b/c he's not wired that way. Sure enough, Moser didn't go into any detail at all when I asked about the topic this morning. Oh well. For another day, I suppose.

OU vs. UCA 2 p.m., Saturday.

Arena survey?
Bob, I’m aware of the survey. My mind has been on Central Arkansas. I’m not even thinking about that right now, anything about the survey. My focus has been on finals week and Central Arkansas, to be honest with you.
