Nice…
Hellz yeah. About damn time
Right on..
Mixon and Riley. Match made in heaven.
Great News! I can see Joe being a total nightmare for opposing D’s catching the ball out of the backfield in this offense.
Or in the slot. Could you imagine the YAC he would get? Nice!
Mixon with the Air Raid offense = match made in heaven ala DeMarco Murray
Nice! Good for him…..

Have you actually seen this MADTV skit^^^^? funny stuff
I watched it when it first aired.
I loved that show, Im one of the few who is not surprised by the success of the key and peele show.
You are spitting fire this afternoon Duke. Connery, MADTV. Excellent.
Mixon, Perine, Ross, Ford, and Anderson. Wow. Add in the Air Raid and 5 in the box = Scorched Earth Land Run. Lol
The “Land Run” offense!
Sir you are a moniker maker!
I like ‘Land Run’ or ‘Land Rush’ only IF Riley incorporates the ‘run’ to a high degree. Otherwise, maybe the ‘Land Grab’. They do have a nice ring.
Let’s find a QB first and then a #2 WR.
They will figure both those out. I have faith in this Riley guy
Mayfield and Westbrook? Not good enough?
We know very little about either at this point.
I’m hoping for either Mayfield or Hansen to step up. Waiting to see who will coach the WRs.
I want the freaking coaching staff to step up.
Cody Thomas threw well in high school. I honestly dont think baseball has done anything for him but destroy his mechanics. He is going to have to make a choice between the two sports if he wants to play QB at Oklahoma.
I think in the end Thomas will stick to baseball. Just depends where he falls on the depth chart. I’m thinking 1: Hansen/Mayfield 3: Knight 4: Thomas
Does anybody here believe Ross would be a great linebacker?
I would like to see him lined up in the slot
Yes, but he has to make that choice.He is a great athlete, but is he a linebacker?
I also thought AD would have been an awesome linebacker. Glad RB worked out for him.
No not at all.
He isn’t a slot WR either.
Wow, we need more footballs. I want them all to get 20 touches…
I’ll have to see it on the big stage before I start giving out high-fives and all…Sorry, Stoops & Co. have done this in the past and It never came to fruition and If it did it was not consistent.
Done what? Win? Win Big 12 titles? Are you talking about Mixon getting a second chance?
No Hunter, I’m referring to this offense inability on the big stage to score more than 14 points. I don’t care what they score in a meaningless bowl game versus Bama. The tide did not care..There season ended tragically versus Auburn. Many would have quit too. Better than most is no longer going to be the standard…Sorry if you don’t feel the same way. But I will not apologize for the expectations of the standard. That standard means not only getting to a title game but winning them. Stoops may be your favorite coach, mine is Lombardi…Sorry if that hurts you….
I go back to Switzer 73-88. His record in bowl games 8-5. You can’t win em all. In 77, OU could have won the national title but lost to Ark, in 84, same situation they lost to WAS, in 87 OU lost to Miami in the title game. Sure Lombardi won his title games, but, he also lost one 1960. So, since no one wins all the title games, what standard are you holding Stoops to?
We have a new pessimist. Ain’t it fun? Ain’t it great?
The guy reminds me of ‘soonerman77’ from over on SI Scout. Anyone have the know how of checking IP addresses.
I have a book you should read bro. Learned optimism, written by Martin Seligman. Life changer.
That’s good to hear and happy he stayed
Any RB who can catch the ball out of the backfield like this guy has to be stoked about the new OC.
Keep Perine as the back and move Mixon to the Josh Norman spot.
It was all really bad what happened with mixon he made a bad decision which made most of us feel cheated because we were all so excited to see him play but if that had never happened do we have one of the best running backs last year do we have the guy that broke the ncaa single game rushing record maybe but my guess is probably not its all part of a bigger plan. BOOMER!!!
Real nice.
Spring ball will be very beneficial for him, this is awesome news!
By the way, I think OU just got Antoine Stephens. Has anyone else seen anything on that?
12:12pm update on the ‘Open Post’. BOOM.
TFB should have a post up about it soon, but yeah, it was posted as an update on the Open Post.
Oops, I keep forgetting to go back and check the OP on weekends haha
Hope OU gets a couple more here in a few days as well if the visitors we had were impressed enough to decide to come to Norman. There were also a few decommitments from other schools this weekend that OU may get in on.
Yes; even though this class is extremely solid IMO at this point, there are still some key positions that need bolstering and some guys that I want to see end up in Crimson (I’m looking at you, Murray and McGuinnis).
Take a look at his highlight film. He’s got some nasty to him and good ball instincts.
I sense some Thunder & Lightning in Norman
Man, I hope it is a full on STORM in Norman. That sounds good….”It will be STORMIN’ in NORMAN!”
Comment of the day right there.
http://newsok.com/ready-to-rumble-ou-attack-features-thunder-and-lightning/article/2475888
Happy for Joe. Kept his head down and did what needed to be done. Can now join his teamates in winter workouts. He rode out the storm and now ready to unleash the lightening. Oorah.
I knew it. Another Jar Head. Semper Fi
Sorry to disappoint but not worthy of the title. Never served in that capacity. Great admiration for you and the others on here along with an uncle who is. Just like the sound of it but will not use it if it is reserved for you leathernecks exclusively.
Houlihan I am a jarhead and I don’t believe any of us should mind!
Ooh rah. Semper Fi brothers.
Semper Fi Davey!
OORah!!!
Kept his head down???
Damn. Dude pointed at a shirt that someone else was wearing…smh. It also looks like he’s wearing sun glasses like some other troublemakers wear. Let’s get this kid outta here…
Pointing at someone else’s shirt, even if it’s in support of some aftermath, is a perfect example of not keeping one’s head down. Some people are dodo birds.
Exactly! I was hoping my sarcasm would shine through!
HE IS WEARING A HOODIE ALSO!!
That’s illegal in Oklahoma nowadays!
Not yet, but our “Roads Scholar” legislators are trying.
Between them and our AG it’s entirely possible that we might not scrape out over a 65 average IQ.
This is totally believable…unfortunately.
That lanyard is all OU too. Must.report.violation
I wasn’t going to say it…but since you pointed out the lanyard, that hair has to be a violation of some sort as well…
“That’s a shout out to Dan Akroyd. We must look into this and see if Mr. Akroyd paid off any of Mr. Nixon’s fines”
Looks like OU’s getting the “death sentence”. Thanks, Mixon.
Haha. Guy was here 7 minutes and now we’re SMU. Thanks a lot indeed
Okra??
Awesome. Here’s a toast to a difference maker!
He will be a beast in the Riley O.
Said it before, I’ll say it again; Keep Perine as the back and move Mixon to the Josh Norman spot.
The National Weather Service Norman just issue a storm warning for Cleveland county. Opposing defenses should seek shelter immediately
So is Mixon a guy you could spread wide or maybe in the slot? I already miss Rip. Is Flowers the next guy up?
Said it before, I’ll say it again; again, Keep Perine as the back and move Mixon to the Josh Norman spot.
You’ve gotten it, man. Well done.
I know nothing about this new OC. Does he throw to the TE?
Air raid concepts, so rarely.
Tech had a pretty good tight a few years ago..I believe he plays on sundays
Once.
how many have we had
Ever? I’m counting around eleventy-kevin.
That’s a good question.
[Puts variables into computer]
[Executes computation]
[Computer blows up]
Jace Amaro
Bingo…I have a feeling Andrews will have a place in the offense as long as he doesn’t have brick hands…Riley is a smart guy..I have a feeling we’re gonna see a big change immediately similar to the TCU transformation…we’ll have a little of both worlds…air raid and big boy run game..both will be hard to def alone…put em together and I’m getting giddy
Now if only we had a defense
Yes. Andrews is already up to 250 pounds. He and Meier could be a good mismatch if used in the passing game correctly.
You guys ever heard of that NFL team in New England who has an All Pro TE? You know the team…..I forget their name…..oh yeah they’re going to the Super Bowl and their TE is one of the main reasons.
Don’t forget Amaro. He was a hybrid TE, I guess, but a big body guy they threw a ton to.
Mr. Mixon, welcome aboard. Very proud of how you stuck with things and paid your dues. Boomer!!
ditto
Exactly.
This really sucks. I had actually hoped that Joe would transfer to another school and we wouldn’t have the black eye of a woman beating RB on our team. Hopefully he gets buried on the depth chart behind Perine, Ford, Ross and Anderson and transfers after this season of not playing.
He paid his dues. I doubt he gets buried in the depth chart…he is to talented for that.
Must be cool to have never made a mistake in life.
Down voted, even if you were sarcastic. Poor taste. Poor post. Get lost. Good bye.
Giving kids a second chance is a ridiculous idea! They should never have a chance to atone for snap decisions made in the heat of the moment! Down with forgiveness and the teachings of Jesus! Also, abolish the Golden Rule!
You left out kickin the dog Toats.
You are a real sweetheart.
If I hit a guy and was cursing at him, I would EXPECT him to retaliate. Not saying that he should have hit back, but when provoked, …..
Go over to OUI you will fit right in.
For all we know, this kid has done everything right n life other than a mere 3 seconds that HE probably regrets more than anyone. We’ve had many, many, many players come thru our team thru the years that have done worse and had less punishment. NO, he shouldn’t have done it. But he paid the punishment, so OU Boomer, buzz off or whatever weasels do when they aren’t on chat lines pissing off what’s supposed to be supporters of our beloved school.
Oh man, here we go again.
Did your mom have any children who lived?
ok Mr/Miss Never made a mistake in your life.
( update) I saw below someone made the same comment
Let he without sin cast the first stone my friend.
Okay, we get it.
You are more than welcome here as is your opinion on Mixon or almost any other sports related subject should you choose to share it.
But it really doesn’t serve much of a purpose to just continue restating the same point/opinion over and over again.
You don’t want Mixon on the team. He is on the team. But you don’t like that he’s still on the team.
Does that pretty much sum things up?
“doesn’t serve much of a purpose to just continue restating the same point/opinion over and over again.” You might be setting the bar a little too high for a lot of folks (present company excluded, of course 🙂 with this …lol
Are you and Stephen dale related?
And I hope he wins the Heisman trophy with 4,000 yards of total offense and marries Sailor Moon.
We both have our dreams.
lol @marry sailor moon
i’m personally more interested in having 2 1000 yard backs again… leave your agenda elsewhere – this kid has done everything right since. i’d like to see your counseling to the drunk, drugged out girl who called him racial names and instigated the physical contact.
Thank you – well said. Let’s go Joe!
Who took the gem out of your donut? Jeeeez…..
Awesome news!
Excellent news!
