And neither is Bama.

Yeah, talent assessment is a core function of the job of a coach. It's understandable for OU fans to think Arnold would be good. The coaches saw him every day for a year and still made the decisions they made.

The same people who keep saying 2020 was a close race. It wasn't and was one of the bigger victories in recent history.

I don't understand how the QB situation and the talent evaluation. They recruited well so NIL likely isn't the problem. (Arnold and Hawkins were both blue chip recruits.) Arnold obviously isn't very good for some reason and they had an entire year with him to asses that. So then Lebby leaves and they then decide to go balls deep with Arnold. They hired the OC he wanted to run the offense he wanted. This wasn't some big time recruit they made promises to. This was a guy already on the roster and if I remember right, there were stories over the summer that he just wasn't very good in practice. Then you have them making a terrible OC hire to add on.

Scott Galloway did a most excellent podcast that basically hit every single one of those points. I think this is it and still a great listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/failing-young-men-with-richard-reeves/id1498802610?i=1000584062413 You mentioned that young men need to get their shit together and I'd like to expand on that. There doesn't seem to much ambition with younger men to get girls. When we were "utes," literally everything I did was to get laid/get a girl. Look better, get a car, go to college, make money, etc. Every single one of those had girls as a component as to the why. Even college wasn't so much about throwing leg in college. It was about making more money as an adult, knowing I'd have more options with women. I see it a lot and I honestly have more in common with young women now. They want the same things out of life I wanted at that age. The boys barely want to even drive. I do think porn is a problem and lord knows I'm not a sexual conservative. I think the amount and type of porn these young men consumer completely ruins their ability to relate to women. (Neg away, porn fiends.)

But will it start on time? I kid, I kid....

I think they're starting to realize that, too. Imagine by surprise when Stephen Miller of all people was wanting people to vote early.

Yeah, Trump ain't winning GA.

Tried it with preachers in the Southern Baptist Convention and it failed. Wonder why.

Hell yes. I've said this for years. Same with preachers, priests, and youth ministers.

They're basically the same type of podcast. One is for young women, one is for young men. Prolly 0% overlap.

Especially considering Joe Kernen is a complete Trump/Elon fanboy.

Also, this is about more than just returns by party. I would assume that +95% of Dems are voting Harris but the Republicans have been hemorrhaging voters in the Philly burbs, particularly with women.

It's one of the Top 5 podcasts out there.

No shit but so what if he does?

I'll say it. Would.

Absolutely no team that expects to be good next year will offer him the type of NIL deal he wants. He may go to Miss State with Lebby but they're awful and he'll get pummeled there.

I laugh at all the talk about where Arnold goes next year. He'll have a lot fewer options than people think. He's just not that good.

OU's offensive line is complete and utter shit.

Hell yes. I'd even pay.
