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...

Re: You Fill In the Blank ?

Hmmm... OSU doesn't even make my Top-5. And there are different kinds of "hate", I would say. 1. Texas - A very strange relationship. I want them to lose every game they play but at the same time want them to be good. Weird. 2. USC - Would be content for them to fall into irreversible decl...

Eventually, it will happen.

During my lifetime....the multiyear runs of excellence: 1971-1975 1977-1980 (time period I was old enough to start following) 1984-1987 2000-2004 2006-2008 2015-2018 Just saying......don't be surprised if it starts this year. OU will have one of the best (if not THE BEST) defenses in the SEC. Skill ...
