Yeah a few weeks back when Arbuckle's name was brought up on a few blOU podcasts, they included the WashSt QB transferring to blOU in their expectations.

They compared it to what Curt Cignetti did in his 1st year at Indiana..

I know Sooner fans are pretty bummed about this season, but I hope this one really hurt.

Reddit (the font of all knowledge) person following Utah indicates Arbuckle and Mateer were a package deal.  UU was outbid.  Could be wrong, but it smells like a good story :)

Mateer’s best competition was Boise, UW, and Tech. 
 

Damn near ran for 200 yards against Tech. Threw for over 300 yards with 2 TDs and a pick against Boise. Threw for 245 with 3 total TDs against UW. 
 

It’s early, but Mateer might be the best QB in the portal. Arbuckle is better than the falling knife Seth Littrell. To state the obvious, they hired Arbuckle to get Mateer.

Matter would be better than anyone they currently have.

Tech rushing defense - 65th
Boise passing defense - 118th
UW passing defense - 5th (ok that was impressive)

On Tuesday, OU announced the hiring of former AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson as executive advisor to the president and AD to oversee the university's implementation of the oncoming $20 million House payments to athletes and all that entails.

Wikipedia summarized my recollection of Stephenson's ATT tenure quite well...

During his tenure as CEO, AT&T acquired DirecTV for $49 billion in July 2015 and Time Warner for $85 billion in June 2018. According to Drew FitzGerald of The Wall Street Journal, Stephenson has "transformed the phone company he inherited into one of the world's biggest entertainment companies."[8] However, AT&T also failed acquisition of T-Mobile.

On July 1, 2020, Stephenson retired as CEO of AT&T. He was succeeded by then-COO John Stankey.[9] At the time Stephenson announced his departure, it was acknowledged that the acquisitions of DirectTV and Time Warner had by this point resulted in a massive debt burden of $200 billion for the company,[10] forcing the company to cut back on its capital investments.[11] and In December 2020, the Financial Times said Stephenson's "legacy has been stained by poor acquisitions".[12]

They hired Wazzu's OC to get Wazzu's QB.

They then told the Wazzu OC he had to keep OU's entire remaining offensive staff in order to keep their 9th-in-the-SEC class together. To sign a 5* OT, they purposefully kneecapped the guy who is supposed to resurrect Sooner Magic.

Things are great in Norman. Just wonderful.

New OC bringing in a better QB and Arnold prolly gold told if he wants to stay on there will be a huge pay cut.

There seem to finally being some talent evaluations going on there.  It's amazing.  In order to keep a subpar QB, they agreed to keep a subpar OC.

I hope it works out for him like I hope it works out for everyone.  He's just not capable of playing the position at even close to an elite level.

6 WR gone to the portal

21 total

Mateer, the QB they hired an OC to entice, might not even come. He might stick with Wazzu.

They're on fire and it's beautiful.

 

Mateer would be a fool to come to this program, and play behind that line and throw to whatever receivers might be there. Surely he is getting better advice than that.

In two weeks, they play Navy. Now, a month ago, OU probably had a significantly better team than Navy. Now, they are down to Hawkins at QB, the receivers are injured or in the portal, and I have no idea on who is sitting out. 
 
Navy, like a typical service academy, actually wants to win the bowl game and will be at full strength. 
 
This will be fun

I would pay into Wazzu NIL if I knew it would guarantee they keep Mateer.

Does TOF have a Super Secret Espionage link for such a thing? Could we fundraise?

I enjoyed when that rj young guy refuted the other dude’s point by basically saying that Oklahoma has always been a terrible place and that until now they’ve had a successful program in spite of that.

The other dude is Doug Gottlieb I posted the video a couple of posts above yours....

They better hope they get that WSU QB because they're going to face their old one next season.

 

Their old one kind of sucks.

His best offer in the portal is a 5-7 team whose coach is likely getting fired after next season.  That says a lot.  I'm guessing Miss State was an option as well, and that's not a good option either.

As has been discussed Arnold was not a five star and should not have already been starting at OU. With all that said, I watched him play a few times and he’s got something. With development he can probably be a reasonably good QB. It will be hilarious if he ends up performing better than whoever they get. That would be two QB’s in a row they lost who outperformed.

The kid has potential, but my coaches always said, "That's just a fancy French word that means you ain't worth a shit now, but you might be someday". With that said, War Eagle, beat 0u!

Your Sooners should have realized, when they hired a defensive guy as HC, they were going to have to overpay at QB. You really need two that can play some. You might sign Mateer, and if he gets hurt, you’re playing Hawkins again.
