What a wild one!

Day had to apologize for scoring a TD in the final minutes of their game vs Nebraska when up 45-17 (52-17 final).

Day doesn’t just step on his opponents neck when he has them down, he soccer kicks them like it’s a Pride fight.

Outside of the loss to Clemson last year his Ohio State team didn’t have a game decided by less than 13 points.

Impressive.

See thread title

Enough said.

Texas doubles down on the Eyes of Texas!! ;o)

The players, band (LOL) and recruits can't be happy about this..

I get tradition and fans being fans but sometimes you have to make changes to adapt to the current day in age.. Maybe I'm wrong but this looks like poor timing to make a hard line stance on something so polarizing.


Didn't see this posted if it has please delete.

Per ESPN:

Delicate phrasing? You decide. Might be the meanest question I've ever asked, but I tried to be polite and diplomatic about it.

Alex, you talk about your best leaders should be your best players. Where does that leave Pat Fields? Outside looking in, you see the penalties and mistakes. But then you see he played more than 100 snaps against Texas, leading to more chances for errors, too. So how does Fields fit into the leaders equation through four games?

Grinch's answer? Read the story

*Fields is still OU's 'quarterback'
*Washington getting good
*Grinch a fan of Patterson

Full story:

Sucks for guys like Caleb Williams, Cody Jackson, Bryce Foster, etc.

See, Riley moving the press conference to Tuesdays means the Illegitimate Son doesn't get some of its goodies from the last two years when it was Monday and then post Illegitimate Son on late-Monday afternoon w/ some press conference news/notes.

So here was something I prob would have posted in The Son. Instead, it's Tuesday night filler. Enjoy.

Asked Spencer Rattler about how different the OU offense can look like if Theo Wease is as involved as he was vs. Texas for the rest of the season?

"I told myself after the Iowa State game I need to get the ball to Theo a little more. That’s one our best weapons right there. Me and him having that chemistry even before we got here… In that Texas game I made it in my mind I gotta get 10 the ball. Because I know he’s gonna make plays for me in this offense whenever we need him to. That’s a guy I trust more than anything throwing the ball to.

"He’s been doing great. He’s working on everything. He’s getting better. You should see nothing but improvement from him and a lot of the other guys throughout the year."

Wanna see if Wease continues with that No. 1 mindset because that's how he carried himself in the second half in Dallas. I can see him becoming an alpha more than ever could with someone like Charleston Rambo. See what goes down in Fort Worth.

Figured we've had enough of a gap from Haselwood questions.

How close is Jadon Haselwood from returning? And what does it mean, how does it help the way he has remained so engaged with the program?

"He's doing very well. He's well ahead of schedule. I don't want to promise anything right now. We're optimistic. He's done a great job. You kind of lay out your dream scenario of how you want a young man to handle an injury like this and this is the blueprint for how you do it. In one day right after it happened where he was in the dumps and down, and then after that, he said all right, that's over. It's time to go get ready now. Our training staff can't say enough about the job that he's done with them and just kind of attacks everything. I think so much of this too is, I think physical side's a part of it, rehab, quality of the doctor, quality of the rehabilitory equipment that you have, all that.

"But there's also the mental side of it. I think he's a great example for, even when something doesn't go your way personally, when you stay engaged with the team, you continue to bring energy to what you can do that day even though maybe it's not what you dreamt you'd be doing, that you're going to be in a much better place mentally than maybe somebody that just 'poor me' the entire time. And he's done that. He has. He's been completely engaged. A ton of energy. I think it's helped our team and it's certainly helped him through the recovery of a very tough injury."

Bama just ran an incredibly WR screen to waddle. Very cool play design. Motioned Harris our of the back field and made it look like a swing to Harris and they hit a jailbreak screen back underneath it. Wild start to the game.

That’s what TOS is saying they expect

SCOOPHD highlights from the first half of 2022 Deer Creek offensive line offer Jacob Sexton. They were down 34-0 at halftime but it's fun to watch Sexton. @BPrzybylo

Yesterday my 14 y/o son took his own life. My heart is broken. He was my only son. Please pray for my family. I hope and pray that all of you are healthy and well. God bless you all!

During chat someone asked me if I felt a commitment would come between now and the TCU game.

And without much doubt, I said no.

I now am confident I will be wrong about that - I'm betting something comes down before this Saturday, much less next.

And yeah, he is good.

He came in with CeeDee...got injured(I feel for him)...watched CeeDee ball out like the Charlie he was supposed to be...feels like he got dealt a bad hand and “deserves”(ala HRC) for it to be his turn...hasn’t gotten bigger, worked on his skill set, hasn’t improved his game like CeeDee here...youth coming by and passing him up...he’s panicked/or still thinks “it’s my deserved turn”....he’s an underachiever.

When Bridges comes back Charlie should be first on the cutting block. Don’t stunt Mims to caress an outstanding talent that’s not willing to at least be decent. Am I wrong?

Alright guys, my bad on WOKE, I knew I'd forgotten something and just couldn't place it. But what I forgot was some chatter heating up about Oklahoma and early linebacker offer Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek's Terrence Cooks.

For quite some time Cooks and Oklahoma had been a dead story as Cooks seemed ready to choose Texas and he just wasn't connecting with Oklahoma as he once had. But late last week rumors started swirling that he might be more willing to talk than he had been.

In fact, one source told me that he suddenly reached out to the Sooners last week and seems open to hear what the Oklahoma staff has to say.

Now, as we've said all along, there's a real doubt about Oklahoma being able to take another linebacker in this class so it may all come to nothing but it's at least worth watching as Cooks liked the Sooners early on before taking a few trips to Austin and missing out on a trip to Norman when COVID shut off all campus visits.

I'm not sure where it will go from here but there is some renewed conversation between Cooks and Oklahoma.

I love OU football and the shootout with Texas is one of the highlights of the year but man on man I am not sure watching a 5 hour game is the best thing for my health. And I watched it on tape delay ff'ing through the commercials.

Can we get a few blowouts in the first quarter? My health would appreciate it.

I have long said that OU football is as enjoyable as sex but lasts more than 3 minutes. But 5 hours of this stuff with your lover saying yes, then no then yes, then no is a little much for this young geezer.

Oh boy...

Who you got?

Is there a better time than right now??
@Grimlock72 @basso

OFFENSE:

QB: Spencer Rattler - 74 - I was surprised he was benched, but thought he responded to it pretty well.
RB: T.J. Pledger - 92 - Was a DUDE today, I just love how he balances his patience with when to lower his head.
TE: Austin Stogner - 81 - Not his best game but a solid effort, GREAT catch for the touchdown.
WR: Drake Stoops - 60 - Had some bad blocks on bubbles but a TD that big can't be ignored.
WR: Charleston Rambo - 45 - Is he in danger of losing his starting spot?
WR: Theo Wease - 85 - Hey, did we see the light starting to come on today?
OT: Erik Swenson- 50 - It's like being an honorary alum or something.
OG: Marquis Hayes - 81 - Hayeswas more like himself on Saturday.
C: Creed Humphrey - 86 - Really did a great job dealing with a pretty talented interior DL for Texas.
OG: Tyrese Robinson - 83 - Best game of the year, best game in a while.
OT: Adrian Ealy - 84 - He's been steady all season (at RT anyway) and today was more of it.

Offense: Average: 74.6 (821)


DEFENSE:

DT: Isaiah Thomas - 92 - Score matches the number he was a force for Texas to deal with.
NT: Perrion Winfrey - 86 - Flashed some huge plays and the block was massive.
DT: Laron Stokes - 81 - I actually noticed him, that's a big win.
RUSH: Nik Bonitto - 84 - Really liked what he largely brought.
LB: Brian Asamoah - 77 - Really thought he had a solid game.
LB: DaShaun White - 62 - Wildly up and down, his fall on Ehlinger's OT touchdown run allowed the TD.
NB: Brendan Radley-Hiles - 50 - It's just bad.
CB: Tre Brown - 73 - Talk about a yo-yo game, that guy saves his best for the biggest moments.
CB: Jaden Davis - 82 - Thought he was so steady all day long.
S: Pat Fields - 25 - At some points OU has to understand what's happening and address it.
S: Delarrin Turner-Yell - 74 - Thought he made a lot of solid tackles in space.

Defense Average: 71.5 (786)

SPECIAL TEAMS:

K: Gabe Brkic - 90 - Guy was nails on kickoff all day but he may think about that miss for a long time.
P: Reeves Mundschau - 90 - Really thought he was outstanding.
KR: Charleston Rambo - 54 - Dance, dance, dance...
PR: Marvin Mims - 84 - Largely quiet but his one return was huge.

Special Teams Average: 79.5 (318)

Key Reserves:

QB: Tanner Mordecai - 55 - I thought he was ok but didn't spark much.
RB: Marcus Major - 78 - Steady performance, really came through at a few different moments.
HB: Jeremiah Hall - 96 - Watch Pledger's short touchdown run in the third...an INCREDIBLE block.
HB: Mikey Henderson - 83 - Had a good game and if he'd have been seen a time or two could have been even bigger.
WR: Marvin Mims - 85 - Wish they'd have found more touches for him in the second half.
OT: Anton Harrison - 85 - The work of Joseph Ossai changed as quickly as he came on.
DT: Josh Ellison - 74 - I thought he was a pretty steady force for Oklahoma.
RUSH: JM Terry - 81 - I thought he had a pretty solid day.
LB: David Ugwoegbu - 84 - Such a huge impact, he HAS to get more snaps.
CB: Woodi Washington - 94 - Defensive MVP of the gamer, there was NO joy to be found over there.
DB: Tre Norwood - 65 - Thought he had decent moments but was trailing WRs a few too many times.


Reserves Average: 70.9 (780)

Team Average: 73.2 (2707)


My Team Grade: 74


Breakdown: I really came away pretty happy with my individual scores and didn't think there was a huge need for an adjustment. But I will say those scores changed a ton over the last hour. I thought the defensive line was largely outstanding and there is no world in which we live that Woodi Washington isn't a starter, one way or another, in the secondary.

Offensively, can we stop with the Erik Swenson stuff? It's GOT to stop.

The thing I want to give the defense for is that they just kept fighting, came up with stops in two of the four OTs and honestly looked like they were just wearing down in the fourth after dominating for three quarters.

At some point, there's a pattern there that has to be identified - is it conditioning or something else? Just can't ignore it any more.

But the bottom line, Oklahoma for the first time in three weeks made the plays at the end to win the game, to me that's growth even if it's really ugly growth.

Scoring Standard:

100-82: Playoff Contender
82-74: Big 12 Title Contender
74-65: Bowl Game Participant
65-0: 'I'll be hoooome for Christmas

Seeing some Instagram posts with a pic of Stevenson...Bridges post has the 🤫🤫🤫 emoji. Are those two (Stevenson/Bridges) possibly back for TCU?
