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...

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...

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...

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...

I am not privy to those discussions but assumed OU NIL benefited substantially from his estate. But even then, his resources are likely a magnitude lower than even someone like Headington (much less Hamm, Kaiser, the HL family). Thank you Loves though.

On paper seems like the highest upside portal guy OU has gotten, nice to have some enthusiasm for a change.

One of the great cosmic tragedies IMO is that Headington got into tennis and not basketball or was not 100% into football.

Is the BYU $ primarily tied to Ryan Smith? Crazy amounts of money. Would be interesting to see if the ongoing market volatility slows some of this down at all. Imagine it’s pretty inelastic since the wealth involved is just so massive but could see a sentiment hit.

Very dynamic situation but the clearinghouse is already facing legal challenges, months before it goes into effect. They’re not “just going to sue,” people are already setting up the landscape to invalidate it. I admit administrators have paid attention more to this than me but seems...

I agree on also thinking it’s very very likely that the clearing house will fail. The optics are awful and the larger schools in the rev sports have a vested interest in ignoring it, but I guess no certainty. Fans I can understand banking on it (although I don’t see it working out) but...

Yeah, to me Alabama is a better comp for what OU could be doing in this era. Similar sized student base & priorities. Football focus but new arena/channeling the FB enthusiasm to their secondary sports & the academic community. Football at UF is king for sure but they’ve had far more success...

Insufferableness is all subjective. He just won a championship so can’t fault enthusiasm. But seems like the guy who would find himself under Title IX investigation based on a thirty second sound clip.

Too bad for Kelvin, Golden seems so unlikable.

Heartbreaking, so sad for Sampson. Lol bad execution or set?

Woah defense nice.
