Re: OU's 25 Greatest Players

He might be best known for his 71-yard TD catch from Jamelle Holieway during the Sooners' Orange Bowl victory over Penn State to win that national title I thought he was best known for his Sooner Magic-esqe catch and run in the final seconds against Nebraska that set up the game winning field goal.

I don't think you need to be so pessimistic. Both Lunardi (ESPN) and Palm (CBS) still have us comfortably in the tournament as a 9 or10 seed. That gives us a pretty good buffer even if some non-tournament team wins their conference tournament to steal a bid.

Re: Sooner Men's Basketball: Big Game @ Ames vs Iowa State @ 7 PM

Yes, if we were to win either of our games this week, it would be a MAJOR upset and would all but guarantee a NCAA tournament spot. Even if we lose both of these games, we would still have a pretty good shot at the NCAA's with a win next week in one of those games.

Re: The recipe for success against the Sooners?? ---Look no further than last night's game of Florida against OSU

The higher that you rise in the level of competition in any sport, the more unusual it is for a team to go undefeated. When you talk about a sport that plays 50-60 games, it is almost inevitable that an upset will occur somewhere along the way. No one likes to lose, but it is a crazy if anyone expec...

Re: 5-7 Format Approved for 12 Team Playoff

Who are the five? Did I miss something, but isn't the P-12 caput? So there is the SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12 and ? Is the 5th the top ranked of the 2nd tier conferences? Or is it Notre Dame? It is the 5 highest ranked conference champions. And I read that the Pac-12, which is still currently a confer...

Re: O/U for Sooner Football Wins in 2024?

There is no doubt that the Sooners have one of the nation's most challenging schedules next year. That said, I think 8-4 or better is more likely than 7-5 or worse.

Re: Josh Pate's 6 QBs to watch in 2024

Jackson Arnold was the last QB that Josh Pate talked about. He said he saved him for last because he was the biggest "slam dunk" in predicting success. Said that Dillon Gabriel was chased off by JA, because of his talent. He also said that unlike some of the other QBs, JA would not be aske...

Re: 2024 Offensive Line Starters

I don't know if it is true, but I've heard that Hatchett is staying at Washington through the spring in order to graduate from there, and then will join the Sooners this summer.

Re: Fallout and Which one Suffers Most

Tamu wants to move to the big 10, reportedly Would not doubt that at all. Their primary objective when leaving the Big 12 was to separate themselves from UT. I hope they do it. They would isolate themselves from many of the Texas HS talent, leaving more for us! Nebraska, verse 2. Stupid Aggies... O...

Re: OU's NIL Situation.....

hardly anyone knows what the truth is. Nobody other than the players really know who's getting offered what and what the terms are, at least that I'm aware of.

Road win in conference! It seems like those are going to be especially valuable this year.
