Such a fun flip story last year. Add another DB to portal.

NBC Sports reported the BYU AD wants the school to join a Power 5 conference. Would you want BYU to join the Big 12, if the conference maintains its current makeup right now? What other teams would most interests you? If BYU does join, I would like to see Colorado come back. I also would like to see Arkansas join since I live less than an hour from Fayetteville, but I know that will never happen.

if he prefers winning to losing this week? That fvcker should have his media pass revoked.

Hurts on the field? Eh, debate all you want. Hurts off the field for someone like Rattler? Yea, huge benefit.

“Just his demeanor. How he handles himself with the team,” Rattler said. “How he leads the team. How he handles himself off the field with media, a bunch of different stuff. I've learned a lot of things about work ethic. His work ethic is great. Just a bunch of other things, but I can say for sure those two things stand out.”

As every Big 12 team has dropped their bowl game to date, it not only made the conference look weak but diminished the accomplishment of OU winning the conference and beating Texas.

For the first time since Texas beat USC several years ago, I rooted for Texas to win against the PAC 12 runner up and 7 pt. favorite, Utah.

I always root for outcomes that favor OU even if it is Texas.

We can let the 2020 schedule and OU victories determine recruiting for 2021.

The state of Oklahoma does a good job of producing D1 talent given our size, but it is just really hard to compete with the SEC. The Deep South produces an alarming amount of top tier talent. Unfortunately, for almost none of those do they want to come to Oklahoma. Given the bag men in the SEC and the distance of travel for most of those guys to want to come to Oklahoma, it's amazing we recruit as good as we do

Alfred Collins talks with our guy @Adam Gorney about his decision - mentioning Texas, Baylor, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

I'm told Highland Park, Texas quarterback offer Chandler Morris will announce his decision in the pregame of the Under Armour All-American Game on ESPN this Thursday.

Starts now... please!

Any guesses on DMACKEYS rumor he was talking about in the staff changes thread the other day?

There is a thread on this over at the CFB subreddit, but it's like wading through a TFB open post for stories, and I am not trying to give my work computer the AIDS.

What're your favorite OU conspiracy stories from the last decade? Just to kick things off....

-Mixon situation
-Mike Stoops v Curtis Bolton (RRR 2018)
-Mike Stoops v Julian Wilson (Baylor game 2014)

Per TOS, we are pulling his scholarship offer and going after defenders instead

Josh, you've mentioned numerous times that several players listed as safeties aren't a good fit for Grinch's system. What is the ideal safety for this system in your opinion?

We can win 10-12 games every year without elite talent and elite recruiters, but very clear if we want to take the next step.....


Certain coaches have to go.

Boulware, bye.
Ruffin, bye.

We need two better recruiters on the staff.
And of course better bagmen.

To provide some closure to yesterday's loss, was the blowout to LSU the worst OU bowl loss ever? OU's bowl loss to USC a number of years ago was my worst memory until yesterday, but maybe I missed another one. Let me know if I overlooked anything.

I can't imagine what went through his head at that first practice. Coming from tOSU to that dumpster fire, it had to be a shock for a blue blood to have a minimum amount of talent.

It feels like we have been over achieving with average teams which is why we get smoked in big games. For example...This team is probably more like a 7-5 or 8-4 team that keeps getting to the playoffs because of schemes, strategies, a couple of breaks and the fact that the Big 12 doesn't offer elite competition. We're a neighborhood bully that keeps getting thumped with each attempt at the MMA. If we can keep recruiting good and keep Grinch I believe we can get there. We're at least 2 more seasons away though.

If he were coaching OU last night, would he have pulled Hurts again like he did at Bama? It seemed a strange situation for LR. This kid was pulled once on the big stage. Does he do it again? Surely that didn't settle in his mind. Surely he'd put the team before an individual, right? I mean when you see that it is over, and it was over at half time, you try and mix it up - do something to bring a spark. Even if Rattler sucked, at least you tried and then put Hurts back in.

I'm just glad this season is over, Hurts is gone, most of FUMS recruits are fading away, and OU can become what it needs to become - a champion again.

Worth taking a look at his blitz attempt on one of Burrows 8 TD passes. Got completely obliterated. I am sure he is a good kid, but man, how is he the second in line at that spot

When they panned the sideline after Rattler came on....Hope we land Morris because I have a feeling he won't be there next year....

Last night was a vivid picture of how far below the top 3 teams our talent level is currently. Yet we hear too recruits frequently saying “LSU is recruiting me the hardest.” We hear the same about several teams that are getting better recruits than we are. What’s it gonna take for our coaching staff to see that they need to out-work the competition on the recruiting trail if they want to upgrade the talent and compete on the field against the top teams?
THAT issue is what most concerns me about LR and this staff. That approach to recruiting is what got us into this ditch to begin with.

Could be in jeopardy if Clemson beats LSU
