Forewarning: if you come in here to say you don’t care about soccer or the World Cup etc, your moms a hoe

Roster comes out tonight at 5 est on espn2. Looks like per a few leaks there might be a couple shockers. No Steffen (hasn’t been in form lately but thought he’d get in over an old mls keeper). Ream is in, praying GGG comes to his senses and starts him over long. Looks like no Arriola or Morris so maybe ggg came to his sense and will actually play the best players.

prayer circle for reyna, mckinnie, and all other players health for the next 10 days.

My father in law once wished I'd cut my hair and I'm now at Barbers Hill high school watching a pair of very interesting prospects - namely Oklahoma 2024 defensive back offer Aaron Flowers.

Also, I'm VERY interested in big-time young Forney running back Javian Osborne - guy has been dropping some BIG numbers for just a pup.

We are a couple years away. It takes time to develop depth, transform a culture, get the facilities to where they need to be. BV will get us there. It's fine if you want to whine about the losses. I hate losing too. Trust the process.

Next year attend a local elementary schools Veteran’s Day presentation it’s simply awesome. Not a dry eye in the place.

OK all you Pit Masters and/or Wannabe Chefs... what do you have or use for a really nice butcher block? I'm in the market to buy a good one. Any suggestions?

Got to meet Kevin Smith in Tulsa today. He was signing his new comic book Masquerade at Impulse Creations comics. I believe he is also scheduled to be in Oklahoma City tomorrow night for a Clerk 3 event with a Q&A. He was really nice. Gave everyone a big get on in here type of hug and came off as just exactly who you have always seen. He was about an hour late because he had gotten caught in a speed trap. Good times though.

Free money if you take UAPB

what's the vibe tonight ...

Right now, everything is in flux with the coaching and conference changes.
But OU will settle into a ‘new normal’ over the next 5 years.
Ultimately, no one can predict what this will look like for the long-time OU fan.
But if we take a step back and examine the big picture a few things can be said with some certainty.
As a two time OU degree holder and a Nebraska post graduate as well; and fan of both programs and sooner born and bred, I can say that NOT recognizing these realities, while not changing the reality, adds to a lot of pain as a fan…and as an administrator-decision maker can make things worse.(see Nebraska)

1. It’s not going to EVER be like it was before for OU. The reality is it hasn’t been like it was for 30 years, even with all of Stoops success. OU then was BAMA now and THATS NEVER COMING BACK.
2. OU was BAMA/Ohio State now for fundamental reasons that no longer exist with the exception of outstanding coaches. Less restrictive Scholarship limits and conference make-up allowed OU to be what they were. The Big 8 conference was superior to the SWC. Texas athletes preferred Big 8 due to its notoriety in an age where onky the best matchups were on TV. No one was on TV more than OU with the Texas and Nebraska.
3. the state of Texas talent is now divided fairly equally amongst OU, Texas, Texas AM and some damn good players choose Baylor. That’s been the fundamentals now for a decade and not changing.
4. OU entering the SEC is not going to change things for the better, or the worse. It’s just going to look different. OU winning a conference championship in the SEC is going to look a LOT like what it looks like this year with TCU in the Big 12 (or a kstate or OSU in random years) or a Tennessee possibly in the SEC this year, Auburn every 6-8 years. You get the picture. Memorize it, because that’s OU.
5. NIL, transfer portal, Oklahoma’s lack of in state talent and legitimate in-state recruiting competition with OSU (only going to get harder when OSU winning big 12 championships with OU and texas out of the picture) are fundamentals NOT in OU’s favor. Ohio State is WAY WAY deeper in talent and population and has basically zero in-state recruiting competition. Same for LSU. Same for Georgia.

6. It’s going to be painful if this reality isn’t excepted. If admin-AD’s aren’t in touch with it you can end up like Nebraska. I like our leadership and all of our programs not just football. I think they get it. And I
understand why our fans don’t get it. But it’s the way it’s going to be.
Nebraska will NEVER be what they used to be. EVER.
OU will NEVER be as bad as nebraska has been.
But OU will NEVER be what they used to be.
And what OU and Nebraska used to be was very rare air and a place that only a few programs ever experienced. Which is pretty cool.

Some shots from last night in Jasper guys.

Passed away at 66 after battling cancer. If you grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series, he was the legendary voice behind It. Also voiced him in many different games and movies. He was THE definitive voice of Batman. RIP.

On this Veterans Day, like all others, I salute my fellow Veterans for your tireless efforts in defense of our Nation!!! Go NAVY 🫡🍻

A two-for-one special here.

My answer to Keenan's questions:


His answer to my questions:

Had to come out here for work. Spent 3 days at the Venetian then a couple nights at Circa. My first time to stay at Circa and I must say an absolute sports bettors dream. I’ll for sure be coming back to stay here again especially when it’s pool season

Section 9, Row 61, seats 5 & 6. Call or message me at 469-951-9085.

We’re not going anywhere in the SEC without elite defensive tackles. It’s as simple as that.

It doesn't matter what he is IMO. But either way, he is a really good quarterback. Does he not make recruits especially receivers smile? My point is that, WHY don't we have receivers wanting to stay? Best yet, WHY isn't any knocking down our doors and wanting to play with the good guys?

Welcome to the great state of Missouri. Recreational pot will be legal soon. I think I’ll open a taco bar.

Brent Venables was peppered this week with big picture questions concerning the program moving forward. The gang sits down and reflects on what we've seen from this team defensively, where it's going wrong and how it gets fixed. Is this about playing younger players, going hard in the transfer portal, or can it only be fixed in recruiting. The guys have a deep discussion about the future of the OU defense and how Venables and staff needs to build it quickly. We also take a look at the Big 12. Now that the Sooners are on the outside of things, who will end up winning it all? We also take you deep into the latest on recruiting as the Sooners just lost a commitment to Texas. Where do the Sooners head now? Josh had a new name on the podcast that was offered by OU just after the show wrapped. We also check in with Bob about the latest with OU hoops after a devastating season opening loss to Sam Houston State. Tons of football though. We didn't let Bob talk too much hoops.
