...Can't say I have any major problem with any of these proposed changes as laid out in this article. NCAA better move fast, because I think there's more & more sentiment for the Power 4 schools to break away from the NCAA altogether, and reorganize with a format similar to the NFL template. Eit...

...it all begins with the Spring Game!
How big a statement would a sellout of the "Snake Pit' be for the April 20 inter-squad scrimmage be???
It's not out of the question!
(Damn near pulled it off in Venables first season. )

...kid reminds me a lot of Johnny Manziel. Scrambles around in the backfield looking for an open receiver, and sometimes taking off to run it himself. (Johnny football was a better runner in my mind.) Manziel WAS a huge bust. A lot of histrouble was his attitude. No doubt Caleb's a great athlete, bu...

...SOONERS WELL REPRESENTED!!! But can't help but regret them leaving Heupel off the list. Maybe not the best numbers, but he played in an era of elite defenses and the "Spread Air Raid" was just becoming a thing. Won OKLAHOMA's last national title starting off the 2000 decade, and ran the...

...have a first cousin on my mother's side who was the Dean of Men at Loyola when Porter was hired by Joe C. He has assured me it was a great hire and given time, Moser will elevate the SOONERS to a consistent Top 10-15 national program. Have to say, I'm beginning to have doubts about that. But then...

...I almost switched the channel, but just quite couldn't throw in the towel...and lo & behold my decision rewarded me with that buzzer beating shot as time expired in OT! Always enjoy beating the Pukes in Stoolwater, and did take a little of the sting away from losing to OwussU in football. Was...

...still love Kelvin Sampson.
But can't wish him or you luck in this game.

...Number 11 has a storied history for OU QB's. (Darrel Royal is another,...and Teddy Lehman a Butkus Award Winner proudly wore 11.)
Glad to see JA embrace the challenge of continuing that legacy, because those are big cleats to fill!

(I think he will.)

...ST is the modern term for what was known as the Kicking Game back in the day. The former emphasis on this phase of the game @ OKLAHOMA seems to have been relegated by mulesh*t to merely an afterthought when he did NOT replace Shane Beamer. A critical error in my mind, that has unfortunately had a...

...The " GENTLE GIANT " as he became known died in a Tampa Bay hospital two days after being admitted for suffering a stoke. A tragic heart breaking loss for All SOONER fans everywhere. :cry: OKLAHOMA went 10-0-1 with ALL 3 Selmon brothers playing in 1973, then won the National Title the n...

...i DID NOT WATCH IT! Special Teams is the new term for what in my younger days was the the Kicking Game. It was established in the third 3rd principle of Jim Mackenzie's, The Winning Edge! II. AVOID LOSING FIRST Defense, the kicking game, then do what you can offensively. Four of five games are lo...

I AIN'T AS GOOD AS I ONCE WAS, MY HOW THE YEARS HAVE FLOWN, BUT THERE WAS A TIME, BACK IN MY PRIME, WHEN I COULD REALLY HOLD MY OWN, SO DON'T YOU DOUBLE DOG DARE ME NOW, 'CAUSE I'D HAVE TO CALL YOUR BLUFF. I AIN'T AS GOOD AS I ONCE WAS, BUT I'M AS GOOD ONCE, AS I EVER WAS. :cool: R.I.P. TOBY! :ou: ...

...PORTER'S 3RD SEASON started with hopeful optimism and even resulted in a Top 10 national ranking. But, since then...the team's record is perplexing. My first cousin maternally was the Dean of Men at Loyola and he relayed to me to give Porter time and he would return OKLAHOMA BB Program to the Fin...

...one of my all-time favorite SOONER victories was the New Years night 1976 Orange Bowl, the first Bowl Game in 3 years because of NCAA probation. OKLAHOMA beat Michigan 14-6 and claimed the National Championship. The sellout crowd of 80,307 plus a national TV audience saw the Wolverines win the to...

...one of the more fascinating things in the book (for me) was the supposed story about Joe Don fighting or striking an AG coach. The coach Johnny Tatum, claimed it never happened, :dude: As a kid, I always thought that was the REAL reason Looney was dismissed. "Joe Don's rebelliousness and &qu...
