My Aggie in-laws just had to boast about Hicks Re-Affirming his commitment to them. I am only hoping that he did not play our staff.

For all your bourbonites, I'm in the Norman/OKC area and am looking for a bottle of High West Campfire as a gift for a friend. Need it by this weekend. Anybody have an inkling if there is a store that sells it/has it in stock in the metro? Have hunted a little at my regular spots with no luck.

Obviously, OU isn't going to bring him in, but the kid is good. I think a good P5 team in need of a QB will grab him

Like the rest of you I have been longing for this season to be over for 2 months. The only positive thing the last few months has been recruiting and now it is full time recruiting time. Enough of the pity party threads, we back up.

But not a FG in OT???

BV and Lebby with the follow. With Shaw moving on and him living in the DFW area, I could see something happening here

I no nothing about the tradition behind it, but it drives me batshit crazy.

I went to the OU v Ole Miss bowl game in Shreveport in 99’

I had seen a lot of bad OU football the previous 5-6 seasons, as had every fan…. I remember well one faceless OU alum behind me say: “hey, it’s been awhile since we’ve been to a bowl….. I’m going to enjoy it even if it’s in Shreveport !”

True -

Last season….. neither TCU nor Texas made bowl games…. Kansas State limped in.

OU won a number of games based on the FACT that there was an “all-timer” at QB.

That’s great, but BV intends (as he has said, to build a different culture here)….

I see signs.

I’m disappointed as well, in my mind this team should be 8-4 at worst - But this year, these growing pains - will pay dividends down the road.

Someone different every game, with Bijan providing the lift in the championship.

Just curious

Just wondering if there was any news on him being injured last night?

Boomer Sooner!

Just curious.

Guys, have a field trip with Lanie's class tomorrow (was originally supposed to be on the off week but got rescheduled because of playoffs) so MMI will be delayed but WILL happen - just bear with me.

Just wanted to let you all know what is happening.

Thought I was still watching the Ok St game when I turned it on. Pretty damn embarrassing show out considering the stakes

Not a good end... but a fitting one.


*Fitting end
*OT calls
*What now?

OU-Nebraska, 4 p.m., ESPN.

Full bracket:


Porter Moser

Team chemistry?
We talked about how we were going to respond after that first gut-wrenching loss because that can rock your confidence. We talked about why it happened. The guys have been real receptive and building it. Two of the three after that have been somewhat tight. You had to make winning plays. You can really build on that chemistry and confidence down the stretch. Here’s what we really built on. Our opening game, they scored like 32 points through 34 minutes and then scored in seven of the last eight possessions. In our last game, South Alabama didn’t score a basket in the last five minutes. The confidence and the teaching point of you cannot let up defending and rebounding. In the last four minutes, you have to defend and rebound possession for possession. A lot of times you think it’s I missed this shot, this free throw. A lot of times, it’s getting stops. We got stops and found a way to win. A lot of teaching moments when you win close games.

Doc Sadler after first week?
“But it's been great for me because I know him and when you know somebody and he's been where he's been, he's not afraid to voice his opinion with me or tell me what (he knows). So I love bouncing some stuff. I love bouncing ideas off him. I love asking him what he thinks. Sometimes when you don't know the person they're afraid to tell you the truth. I'm a big believer you need truth tellers in your life. And you get truth tellers when people you know and trust. And so he's in the beginning stages of building relationships with the guys because he really just has had only one or two practices with them. But he's an easy guy to like, I’ll tell you that right now. Doc's an easy guy to like and you'll get to know him. And he brings a lot of knowledge of the game and a lot of experience to the game to our program right now.”

Benefits of an early-season tournament?
“Your conference tournament, the NCAA Tournament, you’re winning and trying to advance. You're having short turnarounds. You're doing game preps in hotels. You're playing high-level opponents. All those and above are things you can build on. Learn from. You do look forward to them. I mean, we know they're going to be high-level opponents on a neutral court. You're looking at preparing some for down the road in the Big 12 tournament. The NCAA Tournament. Those are what you’re preparing for. So yeah, it's definitely those neutral site tournaments. You can really talk to your guys and say ‘We're going to be in this situation again sometime down the road.”

Tanner bouncing back?
“So I saw him yesterday. And he was almost like joking. Like ‘That ain't gonna happen again.’ That's how I’m talking to him. I told him when he was 0-for-7. At one point I pulled him over and I said, ‘Man, if I ever missed my first five or six, I would talk to myself and just say, ‘I'm about to get cooking. It's about to get going right now.’ I think you got to talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself. I think it's a big thing. You can listen to yourself. You hear all these voices and instead of just talking to somebody. ‘I'm a great shooter.’ Yesterday in practice he had a great bound. He hit some shots in practice. We're going right back at him. I want him to shoot. Heck, I wanted to shoot more than 10. He passed up another 10. If you really watched the tape, he passed up another 10. So it's what you do with a shooter. You got to keep shooting..You gotta keep shooting. You can't go the other way. No, you can't have doubt. Can't seep into it.”

Might win a championship this year. Just wanted everyone’s depression level to be the same as mine

For anyone having a hard time accessing the video, this is Tawee Walker wearing clown makeup and talking about how he went to the casino after the loss to Tech. Yes, you read that correctly. No, I can’t describe it any better.

Lebby would not be able to move the ball otherwise. And Gray deserves better than to have his incredible running ability squandered like this

Just kick the FG. Those 3 points would have come in handy at the end of the game. Even if Willis caught the ball, he wasn’t going to score.

Perine may start over Mixon coming back from a concussion next week. Samaje has really turned it on. He’s running awfully physical and with much much better pass pro May give them more flexibility on early downs. He’s been mostly the third down back. Samaje according to PFF one of the best at pass pro for RB. Zac Taylor when asked was non-committal after todays victory over the Titans. BTW was on the field before the Jets game at MetLife and told told Taylor with Mixon right there too that he had scored as good as anybody at OU in history per touch LOL.
