FOOTBALL

Certainly sounds like it’s going to be some combination of Davis Webb & Patrick Mahomes on Saturday. (Journal)

‘Tech Students Like Making Jokes About Baker Mayfield’ (VTM)

Uh-oh.

Probably not the brightest idea.

BASKETBALL

OU Women open their season tonight. (Sooner Sports)

Multiple predictions here for Lon Kruger as Coach of the Year. (ESPN)

Damn, (some) white men can jump.

OTHER

The wife made me watch the first one….didn’t hate it.

Date movie.

Been done before, but looks decent.

Almost positive this is a repeat, but just in case.

Settle down, ladies.

    What a perfect storm – TX is down, O$U is down – what a great time for OU to really take over the Big 12. Shaking my head.

    • SoonerSpock says:

      Instead OU is down, Texas is down, OSU is down and Baylor may well be taking over the B12. SMH too!!!

    • John Garner says:

      Texas won’t be down for long. Charlie Strong will right the ship. Bad news for OU if Bobbie doesn’t make some changes.

      • Stephen Dale says:

        John G…………………….the ship has already been ‘righted’ in Austin. Texas will be the team to beat in this conference by 2016 as both Baylor & TCU;s classes graduate.

        • paganpink says:

          I think OU will be the team to beat. We whipped Texas this year, we’ll whip Texas next year and Strong may be looking for a new job in 2016.

      • DCinAZ says:

        Bobby gonna get his ass whipped next year by Charlie if he doesn’t get it together.

    • DCinAZ says:

      Texas won’t be down much longer. You can see coach Skrong getting that giant ship of fail turned around. Took a wide berth to do it, but he’s getting it done.

  • OUWade says:

    If anyone would like to beat me up for $25,000, just want to let you all know that I’d be okay with that. I will also gladly apologize to your mother for anything you like, and I will happily do 100 hours of community service in an orphanage. Just sayin’… the deals on the table 😉

  • ME says:

    Will Mayfield ever be able to appeal to someone that he be able to use this year as a RS year? That would give him 3 full years of eligibility. Otherwise, he’s got 3 to play 2.

    • Jed says:

      I think the answer is ‘no’, but I haven’t been following his appeal process and maybe he’s still got some to go on that.

  • CKill1 says:

    With TK9 out and Sheppard ailing, one thing I’m really looking forward to is 60+ plays of power football. I want taco tech broken and bleeding. I want each of our backs to get 20 carries. I want tech’s D-line to be afraid to line up by the fourth quarter. I want their D-backs quivering with fear each time the ball is snapped. So, that means Heupel will throw it 45 times tomorrow, right?

  • hushnpa says:

    I just found out there’s finally a sequel to Paul Blart : Mall Cop 🙂
    Woohoo !

  • Cush Creekmont says:

    Most of the movies and the current state of football both give me the same urge – read a book.

  • ND52 says:

    “Fifty Shades of Grey”……………………….

    Just when you thought the news section couldn’t get any weirder :-O

  • Swanny says:

    You’d think a bunch of engineering majors would’ve been a bit more creative with their jokes… weak sauce

  • Chris White says:

    I know you guys focus more on the Football side of OU athletics, but I was wondering if any of the Brainiacs knew something on TaShawn Thomas for the basketball team? I know NCAA works on their own time with eligibility cases but is there any confidence on gettin him cleared or not? Especially by the Battle for Atlantis tournament

    • Jordan Esco says:

      Still no change, unfortunately. Or word of when some news might come. It’s a very frustrating situation for everyone involved.

      • Chris White says:

        Glad this got cleared right in time! If only they showed the football team this kind of Love!

  • BigJoeBrown says:

    Don’t know if you guy’s caught it. But James Hale interview Spencer Tillman about the state of OU football, it’s pretty interesting. I admit I was one of the ones that thought he was crazy a couple of years ago when he spoke about OU’s complaceny but now I can’t help but think perhaps he is right. Crazy to think that this Senior class has gone four years and beat Baylor only once…
