    Football question

    Offense is a problem....and it's both scheme and personnel. Mateer, when he is "on", can mask a lot of those deficiencies. However, when your line isn't physical and you have absolutely no difference-makers at the skill positions, then your ceiling is going to be very limited against this...

    Weekly Polls Thread - Preseason

    That and 7 games against teams #307 or worse.....will initially drag you down a bit. But if we drill those teams by 30+ (like we should), then it won't have too adverse of an effect on our rating as the season goes along.

    Football question

    The problem with Mateer was not necessarily his passing per se, it was his decision making. It's been a problem all season to some degree....taking unnecessary risks when the play isnt there. Although he is a gamer, he is too reckless with the ball too often. It was going to catch up with us at...

    Football question

    Because of that news....OU is now a 1.5 favorite on Fanduel. I wonder if the line will keep getting steamed towards OU. Professional money came in on OU after the announcement.

    2025-26 schedule information

    Are you kidding me with that non-con home slate? Barf! Why not mix in a Tulsa, a UT-Arlington, Wichita State, Missouri State or someone relatively close geography-wise that isn't in the 300s? That is ridiculous.

    Football question

    Yes. And I am guilty of having trouble reconciling that transition. When you think of a strong defense, what normally accompanies that (logically) is a strong running game. Our "conventional" running game is obviously below average and needs to get a lot better, but the wildcard is the ability...

    Football question

    This concerns me a little regarding UT as a favorite. Vegas usually knows something and is begging people to bet OU currently which almost always gives me pause. I'm assuming/hoping they are factoring in Mateer NOT playing when generating that line (now up to 3.5 in some places). Vegas has been...

    Football question

    What gets overlooked is that we really only upgraded at QB and scheme to a degree. Our WRs are healthy this year, but are far from anything special. OL remains a sh!show to varying degrees from week to week. Our RBs are a slight upgrade, but with DeMarco's decision making, you can't ever really...

    Football question

    I was somewhat disappointed in Hawkins today....we had heard great things about him coming out of fall camp. I didn't see the progress from him I expected. What's up with this sidearm bullsh!t!? His footwork is still poor and his decision making is suspect at times. The line didn't block all...

    Football question

    I don't know about the best player in the country, but he certainly has my vote for the best "leader" in the country. Mateer gets a lot of comps to Baker....and some of those are true with the way he plays with reckless abandon/gunslinger. However, I think a better comparison may be to Tebow...

    Football question

    Wow....what a thread. Excited to be 4-0 and will be 5-0 headed into the CB. I posted this on the other board regarding the run game. I watched Gabe's podcast and our run game was likely limited in this game because we couldn't run certain plays (more runs outside); this is because two of our...

    Gage Mayfield commits to OU

    Good deal...to beat out those teams for the guy, you have to feel pretty good about this one....at least initially.

    Thanks Boulder. I've been doing brackets for 30+ years and I've never come close to winning a contest. A blind squirrel really can find an acorn on a rare occasion.....lol.

    Agreed. Why people are deluding themselves into thinking he might possibly return is ridiculous. Good grief people....he is a borderline lottery guy.
