Re: Recent Transfer News

Some worthwhile nuggets in this segment of OU Insider. OU is apparently still in the game on Williams along with Texas, Oregon, Missouri and probably a whole lot of others. Coaching staff believe landing Williams puts OU interior DL on par with 2020 Clemson!!! OU offered Williams QB type money. The ...

Re: Recent Transfer News

Good post States.Im kinda dissapointed myself in Williams,I had high hopes he would commit.Lole was an important addition as was Hickman,Stone and Jackson looked promising in the Spring Game also along with Halton. :ou: It's very fluid with this guy, right now. Over the last couple of hours there h...

Recent Transfer News

I'm aware that many of you are already aware of the following due to X (Twitter). For those that don't have a X account..... In addition to the much needed help and HUGE get with the transfer center from SMU (Branson Hickman), OU landed a highly experienced and productive DT from Louisville (Jermayn...

Re: Do We Have Legitimate Concerns About Our Offensive Tackles?

If the Spring Game is any indication of OL status, which could be a big IF, then the OL situation may not be as questionable as widely believed headed into spring ball. With the addition of Hickman, the SMU center, via the transfer portal and Hatchett and Everett being healthy by end of fall camp, ...

Re: The Top-10 All-Time College Football Programs

Sorry for the necro-bump, but I didn't see a reason why a new thread should be started with what follows. This topic got me to thinking. Which college football programs have been the most consistently good over the years and what objective metric can be employed to determine this consistency. I've m...

Re: Spring game thoughts?

As always, the coaches saw a lot more from the Spring Game than any of us ever will. The first team OL was surprisingly good in pass pro against the mostly "second team" DL. The OL convincingly won the battel in this area, IMO. As far as the run game and rush defense is concerned when thes...

Re: Will Caleb Williams be a "Bust"?

Caleb is a generational talent. If I get $10 mil NIL to leave OU and go to USC, I’d do the same thing. You don’t turn down life changing money. He’s gonna be a number 1 pick. It’s extremely hard to be a number 1 pick. Overall he seems like a good guy and he was good for OU. These stories about him ...

Re: The "Boz"

Tend to agree with saying the 86 team was the best of the 80s. Like him or hate him, Jimmy Johnson knew how to build a defense that could stop the Wishbone - big, strong DTs who shut down the fullback because our guards couldn't block them, blinding fast DEs who could shut down the backs and QB run...

Re: Friday Night Lights

This will be HUGE exposure for the program. Friday evening prime time, and since it will be Week 1, just about every college football fan (including HS recruits) will book at least a portion of this particular Friday evening to drop in on the game. Currently, there are only three other games that mi...

Re: The "Boz"

...the 1986 non-conf game with Miami, when OKLAHOMA was the Defending National Champ, was the best game I think Bosworth ever played while a SOONER! He was the Terminator, sideline to sideline all over the field, with what I seem to remember was 21 tackles. Alas, all for naught! :cool: :ou: :ou: :o...
