Re: Stutsman Staying!!!!

Why Danny Stutsman 'Wasn't Ready' to Leave Oklahoma for the NFL Draft Ryan Chapman 12/12/23 NORMAN — Major life decisions are never easy. Danny Stutsman knows that firsthand. The Oklahoma linebacker who has grown into the centerpiece of Brent Venables’ defense went through the ringer this past week...

Re: Last Game of the 2023 Season...

A week late, but for those of you who really get into the Army-Navy game, I came across this article on how and why Army changed their offense this year.

Re: OU Hires 2 QB Coaches

I suppose it's supposed to keep the wealthier programs from hiring 30 coaches. I'm not sure it's worked. OU's official page ( https://soonersports.com/sports/football/coaches?path=football ) currently shows 12 coaches and 30 support staff. Now, most of those support staff seem to be in administrati...

Nuances of the modern passing game

Here's a little explanation by former NFL qb Dan Orlovsky on how receivers have to adjust their route mid-play based on what the defender is doing, and the importance of receiver and qb seeing the same thing and being on the same page. It's not about OU, he breaks down two plays from a KC Chiefs ga...

Re: My ChallengeTo You ST Member

It doesn't matter a lot to me if the recruiting threads are on the main board or not. I think people will click on them or not depending on how much they like to follow the ins and outs of recruiting. In my opinion, the bigger issue is that, perhaps partly because OUGuy has posted so regularly, tha...

Re: Texas Had To Be Put In So Bama Could Get In

Could it be that we might eventually have a 64-team tournament like basketball?? (Just kidding... sorta.) You know, a few years ago, I would have said this is just crazy, and yes I still think 64 would be overdoing it, but the FCS sends 24 teams to the playoffs, and with NIL and no one pretending t...

Re: Texas Had To Be Put In So Bama Could Get In

Edit - the NFL seems to succeed without polls. Why can’t college? College could succeed without polls by adopting several things from the NFL: players under contract, collective bargaining, payroll caps, strong commissioner… The difference is they are structured so very differently, the NFL operate...

Re: Joel Klatt on college football



Here's Josh Pate with a different take on the playoff selections. I don't agree with him in this case, but he's always a good listen. Plus, he gives a shout-out to Patty Gasso along the way.

I added current AP rankings While the schedule may not be set, the teams are. OU will play: Temple Houston #23 Tulane Maine #25 Tenn #3 Texas* - Dallas South Carolina @Auburn #13 @LSU #11 @Mississippi #9 @Missouri #5 Alabama The fourth one on the list scares the crap out of me. Hopefully we are wat...

Joel Klatt on college football



This was pretty interesting to me. His thoughts on why the committee picked FSU over Bama, a little nostalgia for the old bowl days, some thoughts on the state of college football, etc.

Re: Next year

10-2? 8-4? Pshaw!

16-0 and Bama and Georgia can be our towelboys. I was gonna say can carry our jockstraps, but Texas is never going to give up that job.

Re: Dillon Gabriel Poll

Well, for purely selfish purposes, I was hoping he would stay, but I agree with others that this is probably best for him. More likely to get a payday from NIL at another school than from the NFL. OU could probably match most offers if they wanted to, or if that was the issue. It would be interesti...

Re: Dillon Gabriel Poll

I have no idea what he will do, so I voted for what I want him to do, which is stay at OU and compete with Jackson Arnold for the starting spot next year (don't think it should or would be just handed to him). I don't think he has much chance at a future in the NFL, though I agree he ought to get s...
