Sounds like X and Reid are back. But I still could see x bouncing if step dad (of course)

I haven't watched but read the tweets about it and this is what I thought. He will not stop complaining. Also, if I were the four highly touted transfers he brought in this season, I would want to punch him because when he acts like he doesn't have the necessary NIL funds, what he is essentially doing is saying that he doesn't have good enough players to win.

Accountability level = 0

Fast forward to November, when we have a roster that includes two returning starters and potentially multiple returning bench players, and I'm sure Moser and some on the board will still talk about how it takes time for a team to find its stride to explain why he scheduled (and we played poorly against) awful teams.

Feels like this eliminates Step dad at Kentucky.

Man if we have to increase their salaries by a ton, I wonder if there comes a point where it would be wiser to simply swing on lower level guys that want to get to a power conference instead

Per Porter at his presser this morning:


Andreas hasn't been able to travel all year, just by rules. Jeff is an internal team matter

anyone know what rule that would be for Holst?

 

[WTSooner]

Probably as simple as he is not eligible, thus cannot travel. I don't think you can take kids on the road that aren't eligible. Can't imagine it's anything beyond that.

Maybe.

Real question- Is there a point in the offseason once we start adding guys that you switch from "I hate this guy should've been fired, he cant do anything right at all" to Alright he's what we have and lets see what we bring in, see if the schedule is tougher, see if we start next year like we ended this past season...?

I didn't know this was a rule, and it may be outdated (article was written in 2024), but it says redshirting players cannot travel with the team.

" Additionally, redshirting players are not permitted to travel with the team for away games no matter the distance. For some, traveling to games on their own to support the team might be difficult and unmanageable. Nonetheless, having the option to stay for a fifth year and play may be more enticing, or in some cases unavoidable, if a player is receiving less play time or if a player has an injury."

Until someone throws more money at Reid. Seems way to early for them to firmly commit, but I'll 100% take it.

That doesn't seem right. But I honestly have not paid that close attention to who's at away games. Seems like I remember Atak being at the away games last year.

Correct. Could change before the crown! LOL

Hopefully yes. Probably no

if anyone wants some to watch .. ugh

No.

Edited to add -- he started 13-0 last season against a decent schedule. Had a high lottery pick. Proceeded to go 6-12 in the conference.

He brought in a highly ranked class this season. Missed the tournament.

So no, after a sample size of over 165 games, nothing he does early next season in (at most) a few games against real competition would make me think anything is different. Doesn't mean I won't watch every second of every game. And I won't disappear from the board whether we are 13-0 or 6-7 with all the wins coming against NET 300 teams.

Couldn't pay me to

I doubt it. How many times do you expect me to let PoMo burn me?

My time is valuable. I'm still an OU basketball fan, but I'm not going to jump back on board only to get burned again. I did that this year against my better judgement.

I, for one, did not think Moser was whiny and complaining in the press conference. I’m excited to get the chance to watch this team play a few more games and I do think it can play out positively for keeping guys/recruiting out of the portal for next season.

 

[CMSOONER]

The snippet of video I saw, Moser was his normal whiny self about "resources."

Nobody can convince me, after watching that video, that Moser is the right man for the job. He is such a bad fit at OU and such a bad coach. Just awful that we have to deal with him for another season.

I watched the video and not one time did he whine about resources. The first question was his thoughts on Deny and if they'd talked and he talked about Deny's commitment and experience at Illinois. Then idiot Barry Trammel tried baiting him by asking him a question where he back-ended the question by asking about the importance of money. I think Moser actually answered it very well and truthful to the landscape of college basketball. I want Moser gone, but lets be fair here.

No offense, but you can't even spell our new AD's name correctly.

Deny? Really?

It was whiny. Like, "thank God I have have any AD that wants to pour money into our God forsaken program. Did you know our team had days we couldn't even afford to eat during the season? I just want a level playing field."

Not ONE time have I see him say he needs to coach better.

Meanwhile I ready an interview today of the OU QB Coach, and while he admitted Mateer's injury played a factor in his play, he said Mateer doesn't want to use it as an excuse and he doesn't want to use it as an excuse, and overall, the entire offense and what they are trying to do needs to change/improve. Everything I read from the football program is focused on them working harder as coaches and players to get better. I NEVER hear that from PoMo or his staff.
