With all the talk of WRs, let me ask this question. Since we sign multiple high school WRs in every recruiting cycle, when was the last one who DEVELOPED into an above-average college WR at OU? Why do we have to keep going to the portal to get them when the majority should be coming through...
If you were to tell me we would have only four players who have scored points by halftime, I would assume we would be down about 15 points...so have to feel good that we're tied. I will assume the scoring will pick up for both sides in the second half...hope we can pull this one out.
I wasn't trying to imply otherwise in my last post...I just want to see it on the field week in and week out. Obviously, the offensive line must improve, overall health must improve, etc.
It's hard to get excited about any incoming RBs after what we witnessed the past two seasons with a 5-star in 2024 (Tatum) and the top RB portal transfer in 2025 (Ott). One thing better be certain. After what happened to Finley, the next assistant that should be on the hot seat is D Murray. I...
I couldn't agree more about how demoralizing that would be. His typical stat line would be 28 points on 8-19 from the field and 2-7 from the 3-pt line, 11 assists and his team losing 129-112. Does that sound about right? :mad:
Since the Hawks did not sign Trae to an extension during the offseason, we knew this was coming. Part of being a great player is making those around you better. Even though Trae led the NBA in assists last year (the one part of his game that got better through the years), it just never...
Tough year for NBA Sooners. Reaves was playing at an All-Star level, but is now injured. Young has been injured for a good part of the season and is on the trading block. Buddy is riding the bench for the first time in his career. I will say that Fears is playing better than I would have...
A coach like Cignetti comes along once or twice every 50 years, so that is not a reasonable measuring stick. Prior to him, the last amazing turnaround was from Bill Snyder and that was about 35 years ago. Also, I didn't see much that Riley left that could build more than 6-7 wins right out of...
It's now 38-3 Indiana. At least we know that the coaches squeezed out about every bit of talent this year's team had. Perhaps a better head coach would have beaten Alabama, but we were not beating this Indiana team with our talent level. At least we now have a better measuring stick as what...
It was still a successful year because of the last-minute comeback against Texas. That was a big win. Plus, after what Lincoln did to hang us out to dry, 10-3 in Year Two was indeed successful. My issue was with Year Three, but we came back with a strong Year Four in spite of a terrible...
Watching the playoffs both last night and today has me convinced more than ever that OU's defense this year was merely "very good" and not "elite". I mentioned it a few times during the season and got my fair share of pushback. I may still be in the minority on this, but other than Alabama...
That was a bit demoralizing to read, Mr Evans, but it does paint a picture as to how bad our defense is. Let's just hope we'll turn it up in conference play. Until we see it for ourselves, it's hard to get excited about what is in front of us.
It is disconcerting that had our 8th best...
