  1. To be clear, I think he was put out to pasture because he tanked the university's finances. To bring it back to sports, the repercussions for this may be the cause of the delay in OU and UT moving to the SEC. Fifty years later, people still don't remember to just follow the money. https://www.news9.com/story/5e3349b11290151d52141dfd/news-9-investigates:-university-of-oklahoma-overspending
  2. What is this culture they speak of? Pseudo-militaristic masochism with an undercurrent of sexism and racism. Are teenagers into that now?
  3. What gives? Is Landsbury your Holly Rowe?
  4. Alabama may have a say in this one. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=roy+moore+alabama
  5. "NIL"/bag-man money and conference payout money are really different. They come from different pots of money and are on a different scale and timeframe. My understanding is that OU's comfortable delaying the move to the SEC because of money and because now the Sooners want to get their roster in order prior to the move. Re NIL/bags, I think OU's offer here and behavior with other recruits indicate that the Sooners are going to the Clemson model of pushing religiosity and paying players/families. The Overton family has ties to all three of UGa, A&M, and OU. Of the other two, Ohio St makes sense because of Larry Johnson's track record, and they pay their players. If money is a primary determinant, Oregon is the team to look out for. Lanning was LB coach at UGa so I doubt (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) he (Lanning) would've been Overton's primary recruiter. Oregon and Lanning could use another top DL recruit to be the face of their otherwise nondescript class (#25 overall, no players in the top 100).
  6. OU offers Micaiah Overton, unheralded portal DT from Liberty and brother of Lebbeus Overton, DL reclassifying from 2023 to 2022. Dad played OL at OU in the 1990. Dad worked at A&M when the kids were growing up, and they live in Georgia now. UGa and A&M lead. https://twitter.com/micaiah_overton/status/1492209911996026885
  7. Doc has better visuals but worse spelling. Doc >> HJ
  8. Thanks. Is there documentation of this publicly?
  9. I'm no doubting this, but out of curiosity, who did Riley try to poach? HA!!! The Savior Trevor Knight had just carved up Bama (32/44 for 348 4 td, 1 int) and OU had just signed their top choice for high school QBs (Justice Hansen, who turned out to be great...for Arkansas St). Mayfield, a guy who gone for 12 tds, 9 int and been benched at Tech, was on no ones wish list.
  10. Dunno, but they like Georgia football.
  11. Precocious, and probably past bedtime.
  12. If he doesn't know who Cutcliffe is, do you think gets this reference? @Theo Aquacates Sam Ehlinger said this to Kyler Murray after UT beat OU in the 2018 RRR. It was Murray's first loss in forever. OU returned the favor in the conference championship game.
  13. Your name in Arabic translates to "Weak American." The ice cream still sucks.
  14. It's like $9 a pint here. For the hassle, minimal value add, kinda like most portal adds.
  15. Solid contribution to the flavor of the offseason. Offense was gonna improve this year because of personnel alone, especially once they got the C from UVa. McCarthy could be a better Caleb Williams.
  16. Agree with your take on Grinch. I'm surprised Riley took him to LA. Seems like a lazy/nepotistic move. It's baffling that Grinch is mentioned as a head coach candidate. Has anyone heard his press conferences? This has been discussed a lot here, and it's history as far as OU-UT are concerned, so briefly, Riley was able to punish teams who dropped numbers into coverage with his running game when he had a better OL. OU would pave teams that rolled with smaller personnel until 2018 on (OU averaged 6.6 yds/attempt that year). The decline in OL quality roughly correlated with OU changing S&C coaches. The last two years the OL looked plain fat. Improved OL play simply because they aren't gassed in the 2nd quarter is big opportunity for improvement.
  17. Another option: Going for 2
  18. OU had a DB medically retire yesterday (got his degree and will become a GA). https://247sports.com/player/jeremiah-criddell-46038115/ With Criddell's retirement, OU still has 18 DB on the roster out of a total of 45 defensive players. So there's going to be some guys who are processed this spring. Anticipate attrition from the DB (3-4) and DE (2-3). OU was definitely DT-shopping so I wouldn't be surprised to see 1-2 depart from here too. LB is probably good. I know that you're all very concerned about the numbers and also don't want to jump to conclusions about Venables/Valai/Schmidt losing players so I thought I'd provide some context a priori.
  19. OU's WR recruiting and development have been wildly inconsistent. Dennis Simmons basically only recruited in odd-numbered years. If you look at guys Simmons "developed," it's Lamb, Brown, Mims (who did less last year), and Westbrook (who he didn't recruit, but who did get better while at OU). That's 4, but the denominator is 19. And many of the highly touted WR under-performed. Rambo, Mykel Jones, 3 2019 guys are all 4+ stars who wouldn't get drafted based on OU production. I, for one, was wondering if Simmons deserved to keep his job. Add to that the narrative that veer-and-shoot WR don't know how to run routes and Sark's association with incredible WR at Bama, UT should be able to argue against OU for WRs.
  20. Godfrey made this point also. IIRC the ranking was: - not Mississippi - winning program (if you're winning, you'll be able to continue to climb the ladder) - city RE: Miami and UF, apparently the stink Kiffin made when he was at FIU/FAU? was enough that neither the Canes nor Gators wouldn't take him.
  21. I think this is an outcomes-based metric, and I think the Auburn adm is working overtime to ensure that the outcome will be "no buyout for you."
