Football question

Huh? You don’t think labeling someone as a first round pick after four mediocre games speaks to his credibility as an analyst? And how about all the other examples I gave of him pumping up guys as “dogs” and “difference makers?” Is Hicks our star running back yet? Is Gibson jumping over guys and coming down with 50/50 balls because of his size and athleticism? The list goes on and on. I can’t think of a single skill guy he has been right about over the past three years. He is either a terrible judge of talent, incapable of being impartial when it comes to OU, or a combination thereof.
Before the 2023 season, Ikard predicted that DG would set the OU single season career passing efficiency record…it’s Murray in 2018, which was an NCAA record until Burrow broke it. Daniels and Mac Jones have broken it too but it’s got to be top 8 in the history of CFB. DG is fine but a top 10 season of all time lol!

Glad he supports OU (definitely need the NIL coordination) but he has absolutely insane takes sometimes.
 
OU would dominate the Big12 and cruise to a big12 title with this team. Texas tech and Cincinnati are two of the best teams and we would kick the crap out of both and Utah and byu and everyone else. It wouldn’t be close. Then we might win a playoff game until we played an actual good team that would beat us.

You’re also talking about his first team, which sucked. His second team was better and if not for some BS in Stillwater, would’ve played for the big12 title. This years team would kill the big12.

You’re just being obtuse, as usual. You wouldn’t acknowledge anything good about OU under BV.
Nope, I am talking about his second team. His team that had a better QB, better WRs, and a more productive running game than the current team. They lost in Lawrence (to a KU team playing without their starting QB) because of the worst game plan and most ridiculously conservative coaching I have ever seen.

And find me anywhere where I said the Big 12 is the same as the SEC. It is telling that you have to make things up (read: lie) in order to make your point. We would of course finish higher in the Big 12 than the SEC. We are a bottom-half-of-the-league team in the SEC. We would be much better than that in the Big 12. But your talking point is that we would dominate the Big 12 and win it easily.

When Brent is fired (hopefully after this season), I think we should all remember the sequence against Ole Miss as his crowning moment. Tie game, 10:00 minutes or so left in the second quarter, and here is what transpires:

Ole Miss in 3rd-and-14, the crowd going crazy and all the momentum in our favor: Brent calls timeout, presumably because he didn't get the right players on the field or get the play call in in time
Timeout concludes, we sack them for a massive loss, but our star DE is offside (read: undisciplined, pre-snap penalty, and not his first)
Ole Miss gains a few yards, and instead of punting from their own 25, punts from close to midfield
On the punt, we commit our 459th punt return penalty of the season, backing us up even farther (if only someone could coach this stuff)
TV timeout, giving us nearly 3 minutes to prep for our possession
First down, a nice gain . . . negated because of, you guessed it, a pre-snap penalty.
1st-and-13 at the two . . . SAFETY!

Five mistakes in a span of five snaps, all of which are either directly or indirectly related to coaching. I pointed out this exact kind of stuff last week when asked what I think Brent deserves blame for. But some of you just want to laugh it off or call me negative, After all, we beat Kent State and Illinois State and Temple, so why worry about "small" stuff.

And before this season, he said Thomas would break the single season sack record. I can't recall some of the others but you're right, it's downright silly.
 
People are giving Ole Miss too much credit. Credit to them for winning close games but I really don't think they are a great team.
7 point win vs kentucky
6 point win vs arkansas
5 point win vs lsu
3 point win vs wsu
10 point loss @ georgia (should have won)
And Tennessee is likely better than Ole Miss, which is why we had to win that game at home.

I remember him saying that is RMT's goal.
And I remember maybe him picking that for one of his bold predictions.
But I don't remember him actually saying he thought he would do it
