    Workouts

    Fair, although again that doesn’t change that OU was relying on Moore as the key offensive contributor the past two seasons? Seems like that pressure isn’t on Reid? “Isn’t optimistic” seems like a mischaracterization of Neal’s comments unless you’re talking about Reid’s shot specifically. Just...

    Workouts

    Maybe I am a homer but “much lesser Jalon Moore” seems like a stretch? Seems like Neal is saying more athletic, but less consistency. Also OU isn’t asking Reid to carry the focal point of the offense as much as Moore?

    2025-26 schedule information

    Two 2025 final four teams in Norman, should be exciting.

    Rules proposals

    Yeah or even a triple bonus/2+ & ball after a certain threshold. Comebacks are exciting for sure but to me, end of game sequences are almost unwatchable at this point.

    Rules proposals

    Personally like halves format, although I am fairly ambivalent. More than anything, I would prefer a mechanism to discourage end of game fouling. Agree about discouraging reviews. Not sure how to improve clock operators/officiating in general though; basketball has to be toughest of the big 4...

    2025-26 schedule information

    I’m a season ticket holder. I just don’t think casual fans care who OU is playing in non-conference enough to make it a must see game and that bringing in major non-conference games to Norman should be OU’s lowest scheduling priority.

    2025-26 schedule information

    TBC, I think we’re just going to have to agree to disagree about bringing big ticket non-conference games to Norman as a major point of focus for scheduling. OU gets more value out of playing marquee non-conference games on the road or at neutral sites and OU’s home crowds are lackluster...

    2025-26 schedule information

    To be clear, I don’t believe casual OU fans are following news about the basketball portal. I can only cite anecdotes, but my alum friend group barely follows the team in-season much less during the offseason. A good offseason is not going to 2x that number at the LNC IMO, especially given the...

    Kelvin contract extension

    Yeah, it’s impossible to take an argument that is comparing a P5 CBB assistant with ELITE level CFB coordinator experience seriously lol. Complete apples to oranges haha.

    2025-26 schedule information

    Barring a string of major success like a national title or final fours, I don’t see home non-conference support materializing so sure - in perpetuity. Call me a defeatist lol. If you can point to any evidence that OU fans would roll out for a packed LNC against a marquee non-conference game...

    2025-26 schedule information

    If there was any evidence that OU fans would go to a home OOC game, I’d be happy to see it but otherwise call me defeatist.

    2025-26 schedule information

    It could be selective listening on my end but most of the criticism I’ve heard from Moser specifically is tied to resource support, which I took to mean NIL (that has seemingly been addressed hopefully) & I guess the LNC/UPN project not attendance issues. I know fans and especially the OU mbb...

    2025-26 schedule information

    I have no insider information but my thought is that Nebraska has some agency in this decision as well and prefers the neutral site; it helps their NET case (lol) or rewards more distant fans etc. Similar to how you and I wish OU would play more off campus in OKC or Tulsa as opposed to Norman in...

    2025-26 schedule information

    I’m not sure of the rationale for the SD venue other than maybe it’s a concession to Nebraska? Maybe would help get a future neutral site closer to OU? I know road games help with resume strength, but see much more value in neutral site games, especially for OU at the expense of playing in...

    2025-26 schedule information

    Would agree it would be ideal for OU to bump up the scheduling dregs (move to 150-250 as opposed to 250+). Imagine the SEC will still be good but tough to bank on it being historically good again. Obviously the talent factor as well with OU’s offseason too. Classic how OU goes out and...
