    Football question

    Our offensive line simply hasn't been good for most of this DECADE. The reason it's the biggest mystery to me is because no school has produced better NFL offensive linemen this century than OU. All things being equal, it should be as easy for us to recruit the best of the best as it is for...

    Football question

    What bothers me the most about the game was the fact that the Texas coaching staff made GREAT halftime adjustments, but OU's staff did not. It looks like OU had a great gameplan early on, but we all know that there are coaches on the other side of the field. When they can adjust and we can't...

    Football question

    So much for my prediction a couple weeks back that it would be next to impossible for him to be ready for Texas. If he can go, I'm ecstatic to be wrong. I just don't want the injury to be re-aggravated because he came back too soon. We have a shot at the playoffs even with a loss to Texas if...

    Football question

    We may not need a dominant running game, but I don't see too many wins on our remaining schedule without a solid one. Let's keep in mind that every remaining opponent is better than every team we faced so far outside of Michigan - who's green QB was not ready against our defense. Furthermore...

    Football question

    I just read from multiple sources that Keontez Lewis is okay...even walking around. That made my week to hear that. Anyone who understands physics knows there can be problems when someone runs into a brick wall.

    Football question

    I remember Kelvin Sampson once saying: " We beat a team by 40+ that we were supposed to beat by 40+. No one should be pumping their chest out". I hate to complain when we're winning 44-0 after 3 quarters, but I have one more gripe. Why do I see important starters in the game on both sides of...

    Football question

    OU leads Kent State at halftime 23-0. The most important thing right now is the health of WR Keontez Lewis. I wish those brick walls were padded for gameday. The young man needs our prayers. As for the game, we have a Jaydn Ott sighting and he looks good! He has some nice moves! J Gibson...

    2025-26 Season

    You nailed that one. I first read this about 40 years ago or so (yeah, I'm old). When the legendary Minnesota Vikings head coach Bud Grant retired, he hand-picked a guy named Les Steckel to be his successor. It was a disaster as he was fired after one year. Grant actually returned for one...

    Football question

    The Texas game is in 2.5 weeks. That would be a borderline miracle since he's having surgery tomorrow. We can hope he can go against South Carolina, but I'm guessing Mississippi is the more likely scenario. The guy is obviously a tough SOB since he broke his hand in the 1st quarter and kept...

    Football question

    I also agree with the decision to kick the easy FG on "4th and 2" since WE HAVE NO RUNNING GAME! I can also see Wichita's point as well. This wouldn't have been an egregious decision either way. I'm still fuming nearly 8 years later after our inept defense somehow held Georgia to a FG in that...

    Football question

    No question we have at least 3 losses on our schedule if we continue to average less than 2 yards per rush. I can't put much of the blame on Blaylock because the o-line was getting blown up on almost every run. It was brutal to watch. Offensively, we're pretty one-dimensional with almost all...

    Football question

    Whether it's college or pro, the CB position has definitely not been kind to OU. The guy who might have been the best ever at OU was a guy by the name of Andre Johnson. He was a starter as a freshman back in 1984. Sadly, he was badly injured in a car accident that pretty much ended his...

    Football question

    The reason that is a bad comparison is because in the wishbone era you didn't have 325-pound DTs running a 4.9 at them...or 275-pound DEs running a 4.6. Players are bigger, stronger and faster now. With all those RBs on the roster, it's my wish we can develop one or two of them to be...

    Football question

    I'm not a scout so I'm not going to argue with you. He doesn't strike me as a 1st round pick but wouldn't mind being wrong. Since we're in the NIL era, I can't see a QB who can make a ton of money in college leave early for the NFL unless he was good enough to be a 1st round pick.

    Football question

    Is he out of eligibility? If not, why would he leave? He throws way too many sidearm passes to think he'd be a high draft pick at this point. But if he has eligibility left, he'll make a lot of money in college next year.
