FOOTBALL
Berry Tramel told me there’s nothing wrong with OU Football, it’s just that “everyone else just gotten better.” Oh, well, okay then. What a dick am I for expecting OU to have also “gotten better.”

Well this is certainly a headline. ‘Jimbo Fisher Is A Whimpering Penis’ (Deadspin)
I almost never like whatever stupid over-the-top design Adidas comes up with, but I think I actually like these A&M helmets with the “old” leather look.
Pretty mesmerized by the new A&M helmets. Great concept. #Aggies pic.twitter.com/MD73u9YOM0

I’m guessing you don’t me to tell you what’s going to happen.

Line #1 is my beef with how things are being assessed. Significant improvement should not be magical or surprising in Oklahoma. It should be an expectation
Rip is not the athlete Trey is but a beast of a blocker. As far as Martin, saw he was placed at NEO by UT and one of the NEO coaches was quoted as saying he is a ‘lock’ to return to UT.
if his current Head Coach (Ryan Held) at Northeast Oklahoma is to be
believed; according to Held, Martin won’t end up anywhere but Tennessee
when it’s all said and done.
“He’s a lock to Tennessee,” said Held, a graduate
assistant during UT’s 1998 national championship season. “They put him
here. Unless there’s a break between the two parties, he’s going to UT.”
Good to know. I wasn’t holding out hope seeing how late the offer was.
My next truck will absolutely have more “stuff”, the “stuff” makes the truck.
Aggie helmets look bad… As in not good bad. Looks like a duct tape and bucket job.
Oh Reginald….I disagree!
I agree, the helmets are horrendous. On par with Marylands new unis from last year.
BOOMER!

Check this article out you wont be dissapointed 🙂
You upvoted your own comment…
I did so it didnt get burried in crap like your above picture 🙂
Aww, I didn’t hurt your feelings, did I?
Hey Toats did you ever get a chance to get see the Martin kid at NEO to play? Wasn’t it you who mentioned him several months ago.
It was I. I haven’t had a chance as of yet, but an old H.S. friend is on the coaching staff and he tells me that he’s the real deal, and that he would be ecstatic with an OU offer, fwiw.
I’ve done it to myself and you didn’t honor me with a picture……what the hell? 🙂
LAWL. Sorry, Ray. I’ll make up for it next time!
Sorry for the inconvience but page was not found- that’s all that link does.
So you were actually disappointed? Haha
No, thought it was an accident.
I was just kidding since he said you won’t be disappointed and then the link didn’t work….oh never mind
No worries, just clarifying.
It is back up website issue.
This article was spot on!
I don’t like FSU but I can’t get behind an article that has the phrase “Chris Fowler, who’s already awesome” in it. Do I think more than one dude was involved in killing Kennedy? Yes. Do I think something weird is going on in the south in football? Yes. Does that make them conspiracy theories? Nope. Means I’m getting lied to by the media
Mixon pleaded guilty.

It’s not a guilty plea at all.

Ahh…I did not see that when I posted this lol.
Oh, no worries. I was just trying to make others aware we had something up on it if they wanted to discuss.
Hey jordan, what’s going on with all the offers going out at corner?
Not entirely sure at the moment. Trying not to over-analyze, but it does seem pretty odd.
I’m not worried it’s about pj but I would assume either they don’t get the vibe their other targets will end up at ou or they think a couple will transfer/switch to safety.
Unless we’re given evidence to the contrary, I think that’s a perfectly fair assumption.
Are we expecting some DBs to transfer? Just wondering why because of the recent offers going out to DB prospects
hard to say at the moment, but this recent string of offers does come w/ some questions
Hey, Jordan. While you’re not doing anything else, ; ) how about you or K doing a rundown of the DB situation and who’s off the board and who is most likely to be a Sooner and how these new offers might fit in. I hate these last minute scrambles with offers to guys committed to other teams.
I’d be happy to do it, but K knows that position better than I do so you might try hitting him up first.
If we’re adding to the list of UPDATED NCAA SUSPENSION GUIDELINES:
1 football season & 1 season of eligibility: Not receiving a scholarship, busting your ass anyway, then being passed over & walking back off your walk-on status for an ungrateful, self-absorbed tool of a mother-flirter, jerkoff, wishes-he-was-awesome-like-Stoops coach. (Baker Mayfield 2014)
