Open Post | Weekend, Apr. 8th – 10th (UPDATE Fri., 11:50 am)
Posted on: April 7, 2016
We decided to go ahead and get the Weekend Open Post going. A quick note, we will be looking for a comment moderator. We apologize for some of the unsavory comments. They have been removed.
– Boom Coming?: On the recruiting front, the Sooners are one of the hottest teams in the country. I spoke to a source earlier today and it sounds like Oklahoma could be expecting another commitment very soon.
In fact if the commitment happens, it could take place as early as Thursday evening. – (Super K)
– Ceedee Lamb: I spoke to OU commit, Ceedee Lamb earlier today. He was expected to be in Norman this weekend but let me know that it doesn’t sound like he will be able to make it. Lamb’s birthday is this weekend and it sounds like his family has something planned for him. But he certainly wanted to make it back up to Norman. – (Super K)
– UPDATE (Thur., 8:42 pm): #boom.

Just waiting on the Boom.
What comments? Did I miss something?
I was thinking same thing. I must have missed it.
I saw other people refernecing it but I guess I missed it all and I read here pretty regularly.
You guys didn’t miss much. Just that same guys that comes by every once in a while and says some pretty crude stuff and thinks he is a king and owns us all. Pretty silly.
I missed the return of the king. “The King is dead. Long live the King.”
I certainly missed it.
It was LT style in here for a couple days.
I’ve been here every day and I didn’t see anything.
All have been deleted. I saw them the first day but missed today’s action.
Today was extra nasty till Jordan hammered him again. He’s like a reoccurring nightmare.
that one guy was beyond LT……..however, ya never see the last of him so don’t be surprised
At least he’s easily recognizable.
probably the worst poster I’ve ever seen, esp on here……..and to think, he really enjoys the bs he spews, it’s fun by his admission
He’s something alright.
There were some hints to a boom on Twitter from some coaches, Gundy and Riley. My guess would be a WR.
Maybe Gumbs?
I’ll allow it. 🙂
Comment moderator, I thought Esco handled those duties? Anyways, bring on some of that boom boom.
A DT BOOM would make me very happy!
Could it be Mr. Wilson?
No
Everyone knows Mr. Wilson is too old for football.
Maybe the TE from Cali or the Tre Sermon
Im kinda thinking Trey Sermon, but just my guess..
Wouldn’t hurt my feelings.
No not at all!
Good call on Grant!!
Good call, Lane.
You got him!
Or Gumbs maybe?
What the heck! Mods putting in the overtime.

Jordan, really, thanks for the effort. We appreciate the time you are spending away from your family.
We like the BOOMS! It’s 9:15pm my time.
Weekend thread on a Thursday night? I knew I should have practiced the curve ball more. -)
Look for the fastball and adjust to the curve.
Someone better tell metz the open post is up. lol.
Even if he said it right now, I wouldn’t believe it. LOL!
HA!
What’s up, Mr. Woods? Life treating you good?
Hello Sam. I am very well! How are you and the family?
My punk kids have completed the tunnel they were digging to my bank account. Every time I think I’m done, we’re writing a check for something else. LOL!
That’s exactly the way it goes lol. How has your writing been going?
It’s been going great. The writing has been going great. Thanks for asking.
You bet. If you’re okay with it, I’d love to read something you have written.
Okay. Let’s figure out how to exchange contact information. I’ll be happy to send something for you to read.
Maybe create a gmail account and let it self-destruct?
Sure sounds good. Im on it.
Okay heres the email account. You can send it to woodsstephen035@gmail.com
Okay. I will create one real quick.
soohnersquad17@gmail.com
I will send something over tomorrow. I’ll be sending one of my short pieces.
Sounds great Sam, I will be looking forward to reading it!
I’ll let you know so you can look for it.
I love the info TFB. Thank you so much….but I hate the format?????
And Boom goes the dynamite!

LR and Gundy getting it done!! Is there a better combo in the country?
Cooks and Kish?
Possibly Cooks and Viney?
No wonder we are getting closer to the number 1 class in the country!
hopefully these guys will play to their evaluations…recruiting titles didn’t mean much for Texas but have been a better barometer for Alabama…
Cooks is on another level. Viney is damn good, but Cooks is THAT dude. Loved seeing S Parker tweet a video of him and some other dbs having a BBQ at cooks house. His position players love him and will play their hearts out for him.
Pitiful players? Typo?
I fixed it 🙂
Pretty sure negative nancy got the hammer earlier today 😉
Ha I just wanted to clarify before I agreed with everything you said. Viney will get there, he’s learning from the master.
Now we need to get Cooks and Viney in Wilsons ear!
couldn’t hurt……….

some serious speed………headed to Walmart, no doubt !!
So, assuming all current commits stay, are we done at WR/TE for this year?
I think we would take Manning…
I love the skill player commits but I’m ready for some beef!
You’re telling me. Give me a RB and some beef on both sides of the ball to round this class out.
I might throw in a LB or two just for good measure.
I guess I wouldn’t mind browning or Hines ?
LBs and DTs!!!!
No kidding, I’m ready for some big ugly’s!
Who are they referring to?
It says Marvin Wilson in bold. LOL!!!
The 4 star streak is broken.
They will move him up tomorrow!
He still has his Senior year to play.
He is one of those players they have a hard time rating. Do you rate him as a TE or WR? Scout has him as a WR while 247 lists him as a TE. Multiple position guys are often underrated because they don’t know which group to measure them against. Looks like a quality player and the kind Stoops always likes. Really helps running a HUNH offense when you have a guy that can play multiple positions. Let’s you change formations without having to change personnel.
??NoHuddle
HUNH – Hurry Up No Huddle.
lol, I should have known that. Too much time since football season, or maybe to much scotch.
Beer is easier on the mind, at leest I thunk I remimberd that curectly.
I only drink one small glass a night.
Me too, I just don’t let it get empty. 🙂
Charles Barkley, is that you? You sound turrible
It’s been broken since we got that Juco running back.
That is true but I never count JUCO guys with HS guys.
Well, a Cali 3* is better than 99% of most 5* players in the other states.
So does this addition mean we are done at WR or since he is considered more of a TE do we still take Omar Manning as an outside WR? I would hope yes
Write up on Calcaterra. Watch the sick clip at the top of what he does to that DB.
https://www.scout.com/college/oklahoma/story/1658999-grant-calcaterra-commits-sooners
Keep working those Cali kids.
Amen…you can never have enough Cali talent
*puts in application for moderator*
*under consideration* How are you with a hammer?
He’s not fixing your fence, Ray 🙂
It was worth a shot, lol.

like to think im a mix between thor and al borland from home imporvement
Not good enough. We need someone who acts with impunity. We will keep your application on file. If a position opens up that we believe you meet the qualifications of the job, we will reach out to you. LOL!
how about her?———–
Hired!
oops i am easily bought soooooo yeah id fail lol
Corruption at the highest level of government. Will I benefit? LOL!
yep u can post whatever u want u are ban hammer free
As far as Moderator goes, I would put my name on the list as well. I am on TFB almost all the time mon-fri 8-4, and then some on weekends and evenings.
I vote for Stephen Dale as a mod
Is there a white van parked outside your house?
Should be for saying tntsnbm
Yeah, that’s it.
So, what was said (generically, not specifically) that is requiring the need for a mod?
The one thing I would like to see from the new mod is to instantly wipe out those posts that say, “My friend made $3,000 from home last month using this really weird trick…”
JB, I’m not quite sure what was said yesterday. I missed it. But I’m assuming it was in the realm of what “CasterTroyBoy”, “BloodRed” and “King” used to post. I believed all of the post were deleted; that’s how bad it was.
I have no idea what they posted, so it’s probably better I remain in ignorant bliss. I’ve only zipped by a few times lately to see if anyone committed (Yay! Calcaterra!!) without reading many posts. I’ve been a bit depressed by that final Four game so I’ve tuned out sports for a while to exploit the “out of sight, out of mind” effect. I tend to do that after an OU loss..
Losses can be hard. But I’ve adopted the attitude of you can’t win it if you’re not in it.
You nailed it Sam.
The usual things about sexual relations with posters, with posters’ wives/mothers, insults towards Christians, complete disrespect towards players/former players, mocking the mods, etc.
Ah, the classy stuff! We need more of those people…to jump off a cliff
Just a bit of sarcasm. I would no more vote for Stephen Dale as a mod than I would vote democrat in a political election.
I know. I hope I didn’t offend you. I apologize. I was trying to be funny, too.
Not in the least offended, sir! I tdidnt see a white van, but there is a silver van parked outside!
Well, I guess you’re good. But, I’d keep an eye on that van. If it’s there for more than 24 hours, don’t go near it.

and while Georgia is on my mind, please bring a Sermon.
Preach it to me!
https://twitter.com/DCinAZ/status/718226514802831361
Saw that earlier this evening, laughed a little. He’s on top of things.
Recruit on! I like it.
Who is DC in AZ? Is he a former player/coach?
Never heard of him.
Please be careful with the moderation. There are some people in here that expect everyone to think, speak, act exactly the same. Their idea of perfection is a nice little homogeneous community. They would be perfectly happy having only the same 5 or so posters on this board every morning. This is bad for society in general and it is, in my experience, bad for blogs/forums/whatever.
No plan to change anything in terms of moderation. All opinions have been and will remain welcome here. All we ask is for a respectful environment.
Agreed. There are some people in here that definitely want their own little comfortable coffee shop full of stepford posters.
DC im not up on twitter did gibbs respond to you with a boomer?
No that was me responding to him. He retweeted it though, and some Georgia clown tried to throw shade on my tweet, but I put him in his place, and Gibbs “liked” that too.
Nice work,go get em!
Jim, I’m not disagreeing with you. In fact, I agree with you. Diversity is good. But there are some people who come on here that have zero interest in a discussion, they just want to stir the pot. By discussion, I mean I want to hear your point of view. Okay, now, here’s my point of view. That’s good. It’s always good.
Jordan summed it up below.
Hmmmmm kinda strange but ill open up BOOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND
its 7:23 and texsa sucks!
BOOMER TEXSA SUCKS———–
That girl would look good in OU gear!
She would. Use some soap to wash that horn off of her cheek.
YES—she would ….
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s 8:45 and texsa suckage is epic.
Mornin,Slim.
Morning, metz.
SOONER!!!! Wow. It’s already 10:42 CDT, 8:42 on the coast, and ya know what?? Texsa STILL sucks as much as ever!! I’d say ‘MORE’, but that is outside the realm of possibility as texsa IS suck.
Indeed texsa =suckage no matter the time!!!!!!!!!
There are 24 time zones and texsa still sucks. So, even though my brother in Germany is six hours ahead of me, when I ask him what time it is there, he says “texsa sucks!”

Jordan are y’all doing a game day thread?
https://media.giphy.com/media/Yl1NcgJZExP0s/giphy.gif
Nice!
Awesome.
Easy with the gif there.
what?——
I thought there was a quota now?
Yes we kinda agreed to tone it down.
I was playing around. Have a drink!
It is way slow today tho.
love love love Scarlett
Cheryl is more attractive. Not a Scarlett fan on or off the screen.
Cheryl is no doubt more attractive. Scarlett on the other hand is lightyears ahead of Cheryl when it comes to talent. I wouldn’t give either of them boot for eating crackers in bed.
guess it depends on ones definition of talent….
I had to upvote this, then un-upvote this so I could upvote this again. Emma deserves an upvote of her own, as does the answer.
not as lovely as Cheryl, though.
I don’t know…I realize that there are women that are more attractive physically than Emma. But something about her really, really melts my butter. She seems like a total package kind of woman to me.
May have missed this if it has been out there previously, but first I can really recall of hearing it, fwiw.
https://twitter.com/Jordan_Esco/status/718422884377493504
I would imagine every receiver would need to know every single WR position if they want to see significant PT.
and for experience at the next level.
ICYMI: there are some questions about McGuinnis, I believe. You can’t question his speed. On one of the plays he was able to keep up with Mixon on a route downfield.
https://twitter.com/OU_Football/status/718422564188459010
Yep stayed with him fer sure.
Thanks for bringing that to my/OUr attention, Sam. I had missed it. And his coverage ability coming in was the area in which he needed the most improvement. Really hoping he is able to rise to the top of the depth charts by his play and start seeing some minutes.
Thanks, hOUligan. It becomes easy to look for faults. Not that you are. You’re a good person who happens to be a hooligan (Ha! I couldn’t resist). I don’t think you can discount this young man. Hurricane Katrina left a mark on this man. He’s had it very hard. I think he’s motivated.
Yep he is a bad@#$$%$$## er,he needs to get on the field!
Yeah. EasTex and I were on here the night ‘Hulk’ committed and we all went wild. Really wanted him. Kid started his own non-profit in hs, something like ‘The 55 Club’. Seems like a great young man. Now I want him to do great things on the field, too.
Sure is slow around here,but nice BOOM overnight.
YUP
The Palace on the Prairie continues to grow….
impressive ! amazing what boxing in the endzone has done to change the stadium. Hopefully a new pressbox ( sometime in the future ) will change it more….This is going to be one , impressive structure when finished….
https://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/111180/expanding-recruiting-reach-is-paying-off-for-oklahoma
Nice read Doc.
Doc, that’s just what the doctor ordered (sorry for the play of words. See my response to hOUligan).
What is more evident than anything, to me, is the marketing and branding that OU has going. I mean, “There’s Only One”, “OUDNA”, “SoonerSquad17”. I mean, that’s impressive and it’s paying off, BIG time.
The kids helping recruit the kids has been a big help. Along with all of the new social media stuff they are pushing on other recruits. Sooner Squad 17 is alive and well. Our California recruit numbers since 2012 are impressive.
Yep. Hey, but did you notice that they pulled back on the “#OUDNA” once “SoonerSquad17” was having a bigger impact. That’s smart and better yet, great awareness.
SoonerSquad17: what a great group of guys. They really care. Can you imagine how close this team is going to be. I’m calling it right now, when OU wins it’s next championship, expect to see multiple repeat championships. Don’t be surprised to see three or four. It’s just a feeling.
Getting closer but IMHO it’s going to take a couple more classes to get to the ‘multiple’ level. SoonerSquad17 is rolling strong and the ’18 class is off to a great start w/ Brey Walker and a fav for OG Curtis Dunlap from IMG.
Recruiting strategy moving forward:
Stoops ensures current SS17 squad stays on board by staying in close contact until NSD (along with some intervention from their position coaches occasionally).
Cooks teams up with Tib and Mike/Kish and tells all the DL/LB kids, “Look fellas, we are gonna be on lock down on the back end and bringing the house up front all day. You wanna get some sack stats, highlight hits? Come with us.”
LR and Gundy team up with coach B. “Look big fellas, do you see these athletes behind and around you? These guys are going to make you look really good boys. You are the missing piece to this offense blowing up the record books.”
JP, I like where you’re going with this.
If it were me, given the depth at DL, I’d have two starting DL units: 1a and 1b. I would make wholesale rotation each possession and bring the house every time. Rotating two units keeps everyone fresh and eventually you would wear down any OL.
I agree with DL rotation. Paramount. But BIG MARV needs to be in group 1A!
Yes, sir. Make him .09A if you have to.
1a gets the first three drives , then 1b gets the next three drives. Keeps the guys fresh.
Or wholesale subs on offensive TOs.
Agree. With the exception of Sermon or whichever RB, need to go balls to the wall recruiting the linemen and another LB or 2. Wanna hear some heavyweight booms!!
Yea, the RB thing crossed my mind, but I think we’ll get what we need there. We always seem to.
And if we get big uglies then those RB’s don’t have to be 5 stars!
It would be awesome if Anthony Hines committed this weekend , but for Dline recruits I think Greg Rodgers & Deontae Watts are locks IMO.
Kinda surprised ND would allow this. (Sunday is a day of rest and what have you)
But if true, religion be damned.
WOW No way!!!!!
Notre Dame playing Sunday Wow.
Ya think maybe EsecSpin might be throwing a lot of $$$ to try and prop up that cowpie that is the LHN.
Good point hOU.
Could be but it doesn’t make sense to throw away good money after bad. They are a struggling network. They are shifting their attention to a younger audience and abandoning the audience that witnessed it’s birth. Bad choice.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Classic. Love this.
Looks like ND has sold Sunday. texsa doesn’t have a soul, they’re the devil. So, of course, they were all for it.
Any news on Bryce Youngquist?
nothing has changed
https://twitter.com/Jordan_Esco/status/718479787426078721
Another victory for the SEC lobby.
That is just jacked up….
Does that mean that Conference Networks are not allowed to be aired outside of the conference’s footprint?
The NCAA is totally fair, so I expect them to do what they must…
ROTF!
Bob & Co. will just have to be “special guests” at a lot of regional camps now.
Why create a rule that can’t be enforced?
To stroke the SEC’s “ego”
Yepper!
But it won’t matter; the natural course of things needs to be balanced; order will be restored. It makes as much sense to give way to egotistical men as it is to expect that egotistical men will tell you that you’ve done too much for them, exceeded their expectations.
That’s quite well said, Sam.

JE : what does the ‘comment moderator’ job pay ? my friends on this site will , no doubt, support my application……….
I’m assuming $0. But you’d have to check w/ K to be sure, I suppose.
Stephen Dale with jokes is a new twist! lol
He’s always coming with jokes. He just thinks this is one we all agree on.
He might get some votes if he posts Cheryl!
Votes and endorsement are not the same.
Leo : could you photo crop the wave ? ….enjoy the bikini, though…….
Hey ! Cheryl is a fine looking lady. No jokes about her. Just need more pics from you……..she makes a good site –better.
For you SD———
Not really. You guys mess with me and I enjoy returning the favor to an extent….
Its just in fun,hope you know that and people love the llama!
Honest ?You do laugh when you see the llama?
sometimes.
Good its just fun is all.
Agree or disagree, I do find it funny!
I figured you guys would support me for , among other reasons, I can stand the ‘heat’ from a plethora of posters. Its all in good fun or should be…..
You ARE willing to stand in the fire, I gotta hand that to ya. 🙂
While I certainly don’t agree with a lot of what you say, I do find myself often wondering if you truly believe what you do say. Either way, I can’t be mad at you for having your own opinions. And whenever you do say something, some sort of entertainment is bound to follow.
The llama only comes out if he says something bad!
Don’t forget my LLAMA photo for SD.
update added
I’m sure you meant for the word “here” to be a link to the visitor’s list, but it is not.
The list is on the right hand side of the page. In the OP.
I did, thanks!
Also, this has been bugging me: How do you pronounce Alston Orji’s last name?
You sick puppy.
I think I heard it pronounced this way: Ohr-ree-jee.
I’m just asking a question.
And straight faced; deadpan humor is funny, you know?
Was hoping to see a few more OL and DL on the list.
Our boy is back Jordan…..

BOOM coming soon.
That’d be nice. Flying out to OU, from Georgia. There’s definitely some interest.
On his own dime screams interest to me.
Yes, sir, Doc. I need to let him know I’m from Georgia and I didn’t have any problem committing.
Well maybe he knows Oklahoma invented Championships.
I’ll have to make it a point to share that with him.
Who would want to be a Bulldog anyway when you can be a Sooner.
I’m a pariah with most of my family.
Gibbs could play both WR & DB at OU.
Update,its 12:24 and texsa still sucks!Can i get an Amen.
Amen!
Preach, preacher!!
It’s 12:32 and texsa still sucks AMEN
————
I’ll moderate for free, I spend most of my time on here anyway and I’ve been a mod and community lead for over a half dozen web forums in my time.
1. No more brigading. This website has a very real problem with its members attacking people just because they don’t mindlessly worship the common rhetoric point of view. You have a half dozen to a dozen members here who just gang up on everyone that disagrees with ANYTHING that isn’t mindless sunshine pumping and it is so stifling to any chance of having a real discussion. It’s important that people people understand that conflict and arguments are imperative for a healthy forum. Your beliefs are only strong when they can be challenged. Otherwise how do you know you are right? How are you ever going to be introduced to new talking points or ways of thinking if everyone is simply repeating the same thing over and over? Homogenization is the death knell of freedom of speech and freedom of thought.
2. No more permanent bans right out of the gate. Users should be warned, then muted, then temporarily banned, then permanently banned. The way it is now this website is essentially one giant trigger free safe zone for bible throwers and country club sooner fans. Maybe that’s what you want, I don’t know, but that is not conducive to healthy site traffic. You want those big numbers then you need to take the training wheels off and let people be themselves. As far as I’m concerned the only things worth banning are outright racism, sexism, spam, or strong and consistent anti OU/Oklahoma feelings. @Jordan if you’re going to run a safe space for sunshine pumpers then it doesn’t make sense for you to get upset when you put a half days worth of great work in an OP and only gets 15 comments. People are not going to want to be apart of a forum where they can’t speak freely.
3. The homogenized rhetoric spewers on this website are NEVER held accountable for their actions. Ever. That stops immediately. If you want to attack others it is nonsensical for you to cry for bans or start posting quippy banhammer memes when they attack you in return. There are way too many people on this board that deliberately provoke others then run to Jordan hoping he bans them and of course he obliges because he just wants the BS to stop. To me this where a mute really shines. The best way to solve a problem is to make it go away, and sometimes all you have to do is separate the unruly kids from one another.
4. Or you could just promote one of the teacher’s pets and watch as this board slowly continues to de evolve into something resembling a robotic cult where free speech and free thought are non existent. Whatever. I lurk 90 percent of the time anyway.
Toodles.
Sounds like you KING you may go now.
I’ll take five letter words that start with “T” for $500, Alex.
I have two Texsa Sucks bonus.
ROTF!
Why?
You know why and who you are————-
No you’ll have to be specific. Evidence specific.
EVERYONE of the few banned from this site deserved no temporary bans or any other halfway measure. As far as “brigading”- if someone disagrees with someone else why shouldn’t they speak up? And if more disagree then agree with the statement so be it. Who are you? You sound like Toy Boy himself. Go away.
People shouldn’t be banned for disagreeing, which is exactly what I said sweetie.
Castor calls people “sweetie” too. Go to hell. We know who you are and I don’t need your anti-Christian nonsense or imaginary moderation now or any other time, loser!
I’m not Castor. Jordan please ban this person for being disrespectful. I am not going to troll anymore, I’m just going to start asking for bans because that is apparently how it works here.
Stick it troll! Your words show who you are.
Pagan, let it go.
Ban please, Jordan you said disrespectful behavior would not be tolerated and yet…….I rest my case. You can’t expect people to defend themselves if you’re only going to intervene when it escalates.
So, why escalate it? Why not just let it go?
Am I the one being insulting here? Where is this “be the bigger person” logic when you all are ganging up on people like Stephen?
I didn’t say that you were being insulting, I just asked why continue to escalate the situation? I agree that SD gets the short end of the stick. He kind of antagonizes it at times too. SD is a good guy who gets people upset because he’s a little more of a realist than some of us crimson colored glasses are. To each their own for how they think and view they’re teams performance but, there’s no room for what you are trying to do here. It’s not the way to go about making a positive change…if that’s what you are looking for.
He antagonizes it by not simply regurgitating what everyone else does? THAT IS MY POINT. I have never seen him say something that I felt warrant him being attacked (although I really don’t keep up with any of your posts besides Jordans).
Me? If you make things personal that’s my greenlight that you can handle the heat. If you can’t….
I agree that his negativity towards the program really sits on that devil’s advocate line but then again there’s a lot of Sooner fans out there that are going through championship withdrawal. We need to win. For so long Oklahoman’s were only able to validate their existence to the world through their football program and we HAVE to win. 16 years without a title is FARRRRRR too long. Every single of you knows that frustration, so you should understand that some of us feel it way worse than others and we just want it to stop. You can’t call yourself a fan of this school and not understand or empathize with this dichotomy of fanhood/fanhate.
Sunshine pumpers I can handle but fairweather fans would be scalped if I had my way
Now you’re just being absurd. What’s the point?
I agree that its totally, completely, hilariously absurd how the ‘rules’ here are enforced. That is why I am throwing my hat in the ring.
I can help this community and so I am trying.
As if what was posted 2 days ago was simply “disrespectful” That’s the giveaway that you’re the same psycho using yet another name. GO AWAY.
Because two people in the world hurt your feelings we’re actually the same person and apparently psychotic?
This is where a mute would really come in handy. Or a ban.
I do agree that Castor, King and Himself deserved no less than the hammer.
Crimson, this is a slippery slope: Rob’s post. I’m not for censoring what people think. But the one’s I disagree with are those who never post anything until something negative happens. Then you see folks come out of the woodwork. Watch what happens when someone decommits. It’s not even close to what happens when someone commits.
Haha…yeah, you are definitely right about that. I guess it’s kind of like online reviews. Not that many people will take the time to make a positive review but they can’t wait to get to the computer so they can make a negative review.
I don’t agree with censoring what people think either but, I know JE has a life and can’t be babysitting this forum 24-7. It would be nice to have maybe, a mute option? That way if I don’t like what one person is saying or “advertising” I can just mute him/her and that’s it.
Most forums have a mute/block option. I’m not saying I have always been a nice person, but I’ve only ever been not nice to people that attack me. Mute options work because if a person doesn’t play nice eventually they won’t have anyone to talk to.
Btw look at Paganpink below and tell me that his behavior is conducive to a healthy forum. Not at all. Yet if I were to defend myself to him what would happen? The board would gang up on me and I would eventually be banned.
Where is the common sense, logic, reason, and above all fairness in that?
WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
And who am I? If I was banned then how am I here?
Not saying you are “that person” but…
For one, you sure do know a lot about what has happened with people being banned for someone that just signed up today.
Second, you use the same tone and phrasing as the continual problem and post in nearly the exact same manner.
People are openly allowed to express any opinion they have here. No one has ever been banned for posting their sports opinions. But if you come in with something ridiculous or overtly negative just for the sake of starting an argument, you should be prepared to defend your position with fact and logic, not insults and threats. I have had both good and bad conversations with “that person” and he did bring up good points from time to time, but it always went to far.
If you are the one that has been banned before and are going to post without grandstanding, insults, and threats, most won’t have a problem with that. But If your only goal is to cause trouble, then please stop trying.
If you are indeed a new member, welcome, and It would be in everyone’s best interests if you tried not to emulate the people that have been banned previously.
‘But if you come in with something ridiculous or overtly negative just for the sake of starting an argument you should be prepared to defend your position’
That is exactly what happens until one of you makes it personal, then it escalates, and eventually the entire board is crying until Jordan has to step in. I am putting forth a plan of action where his presence is no longer required to maintain lines of discussion that benefit the board as a whole, not just a select group of users.
Yes and no. Many times the defense is to tell someone they are beneath you, are somehow physically inferior to you, aren’t as good of a fan as you, no one cares about you, etc.
I have never once insulted anyone on the is board, but you have tried to insult to me many many times. I don’t take offense because I really don’t care, but it isn’t conducive to a productive conversation.
This board has a systemic problem, and I’m glad you’re not apart of it, but it still exists.
I have no idea what you’re talking about otherwise
Touché. Let me rephrase, the insults came from Castor, King, Hard Target, etc or whatever his name was at the time.
Dude, that’s who you are replying to right now. Same guy.
I am well aware. But until he admits it, I can only go by his word.
YOU ARE SUCH A BAD PERSON, EXHIBITING ALL OF THESE UNHEALTHY FORUM BEHAVIORS.
Hey bud I think you have a lot of valid points and some good knowledge when it comes to our beloved football program. I hope that in the future you can tone it down a bit with the insults and profanity and we can actually have some very good civil debates about a lot of things. Just a thought and I understand if you don’t want to, I have seen some very good points that you have brought up about football etc. I’m not looking to start another argument between us. Thanks for any consideration and hopefully we can have some great thought provoking discussions in the future.
I don’t take anything seriously. I’ve lived through too much to let any of it get to me.
My great grand mother was the oldest living OU alumni when she died (100 years old) and she graduated from the U in 1918. Every generation of my family has gone since and I’ve spent more money on supporting my team than most people here will ever earn.
Say whatever you want about the type of person I am, but the type of fan I am is above reproach. There is only one person on this board who would kill for their program, and its none of you.
I wish I could say the same about you but I don’t know. Everyone starts at zero with me. Its up to you to earn your value.
I’ve never questioned your support for the Sooners, I think it is genuine. I think you can make your point without throwing in a backhanded insult at the rest of the board about how much money they do or don’t make. Sooner fans come from every demographic, and each one are passionate about their team, however I’m not sure any other would actually kill for OU football. Life, at least to me, is way more important than any football that can ever be played. And for the record, if you really are a veteran of our armed forces, I appreciate your service.
There’s the grandiosity. Fake piousness and superiority over all others. Check, check and check.
Go away. What you’re doing is harassment.
It’s bad. I don’t know why people don’t like peace. You’d think hat if i’m not bothering anyone that no one would bother me.
I hear ya, I don’t get it either. This is supposed to be a fun place to come and talk sooner sports with like minded people.
I think I’m done for the day. It’s no wonder RBear doesn’t come around anymore. As for EasTex, I’m not sure, but I know he doesn’t like the constant negativity.
What some don’t seem to understand, with some of the volatile reaction, you could never have a face to face conversation with them. I’d be too afraid a fight would start.
If I can’t talk with you, cordially, on the web without it getting chippy, I’d never attempt to have a reasonable conversation face to face.
I’m out. I’ll catch y’all tomorrow.
In a face to face situation none of you would ever attack me so there would be no volatile reaction. If you’re really that sensitive to disagreement then you shouldn’t be attacking anyone at all.
Not calling you out or saying you’ve done anything wrong, just pointing out that courtesy doesn’t magically start and magically end with one person.
Later Sam.
Later Sam keep it real.
You do make valid points. Can’t say I disagree with you.
Nahh. He’s mad about “bible throwers” because one member responded to streams of obscenities and threats to rape his wife by offering Christian kindness and an admonition to follow the lord?! That’s ridiculous.
Ahh….I got ya. Yeah, I can’t sign off on that. Thanks for the heads up Pagan.
Proof of these absurd allegations? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
You don’t read what you wrote?
In America allegations come with evidence. Not rhetoric.
I think perhaps what you have labeled “brigading” might actually be majority rule. This board is pretty tame most of the time and there is reasonable exchange of thought. Bold/rash statements are generally challenged, but if one can substantiate the basis for such, then reasoning generally rules.
Now if you’re defending someone who wants to come in and sling crap on the walls to foster their ego, I (for one) am not a big fan.
As for ban length, I don’t have a dog in the fight. I think this is the best board I’ve been on and I’ve been on pretty much all of them (all the way back to the weather boys).
Edit: Just realized you are you. Please disregard my post.
Majority rule is nonsense. If the majority says 2+2 = 5 does it become true? Logic and reason transcend populist opinion, and the people here instigating trouble are the ones who are here and never punished.
I want to talk football. I am done defending myself to people that are not a threat to me.
I nominate that you don’t moderate this board. We’re big boys and girls and can communicate effectively and respectfully. We don’t need a babysitter.
I wish that were true, and for the most part I think that it is. The exceptions to the rule always manifest to the detriment to the board though.
Welcome to the Internet 😉
TLDNR
lol. Disqualified yourself already. Nicely done.
How so? What did I say that is wrong? Any chance of some actual debate or is personal attacks (that you clearly won’t be punished for) all I can I expect?
Point out where I was wrong specifically.
You make a lot of good and fair points, but if I may quickly address a few.
1. I’ve never, nor will I ever, just outright blindly ban someone. In every instance, I’ve given not one, but multiple warnings/requests for the b.s. to stop. If it doesn’t then, yeah, you’re gone. You get one and only one warning, I feel I’ve made that abundantly clear. Whether or not that’s fair, frankly I don’t really care. The expectations of those who comment here have been made pretty clear IMO and in place for sometime. I’m not here to babysit people.
2. Dissenting opinions may be the minority here, but as far as I’m concerned there are not disallowed or muted, at least in terms of moderation. You need look no further than one particular person who comments here regularly and tends to rub some people the wrong way (THIS IS NOT ME CALLING THAT PERSON OUT, RATHER SIMPLY UTILIZING THEM AS AN EXAMPLE TO MAKE A POINT). You don’t have to drink the Kool-Aid just to be accepted here. I’m proof enough of that.
3. Unfortunately, there is no ‘mute’ function available thru this comment system, be it for an admin or otherwise. Or at least not one that I’m aware of, though if that is not the case I’m happy to be proved incorrect.
4. Respectfully, the notion that free speech and/or thought are not tolerated here, let alone welcome/encouraged, is laughable to me.
Nicely stated Jordan!
It’s your website (or whoever’s) run it how you want. I think it’s good there is no confusion moving forward about what your thoughts are and what the process is.
I wasn’t under the impression there was any confusion to begin with. But as I said above, you made some good points and I definitely appreciate the feedback.
I assume you know who you are speaking to here?
guess not
same guy you have banned twice this week
I’ve never been banned. Nor am I a guy.
When?
I guess Grant isn’t taking us that seriously if he’s going to commit and take an unofficial visit 2 days later. OU is not a spot holder.
i’d keep Robinson and Manning on speed dial if this occurs..I agree with you….Cut bait and move on.
I get that is a process and he should take visits but how are you going to commit to someone as you are actively planning an UOV. That’s like a slap in the face.
Don’t act like YOU are getting your feelings hurt.
My feelings hurt?
I agree…….
Solid reason why don’t have no good smarts.
can you try again and construct an understandable sentence ? thanks.
Here——–sd
Gotta ask cause I see her on here all the time……who is this dime piece?!
Cheryl Cole
God bless you sir.
LOL Jordans the one that showed me her.
God bless us everyone haha.
No, Jordan showed us, then I showed you
I figured id do for sd just for today,then back to the llama.
id take visits and committ still it happens all the time
To me that’s a soft commit. I know coaches do this a lot, but if Ausbon or Manning comes along and wants to play for us Grant’s offer is the first one getting pulled.
Broiles, Brown, Bandy, Draper, Reagor, and Chris Robinson haven’t taken any visits since they committed and every single of them is a higher rated player than Grant. Just saying.
yea i see u rpoint but id take em if i was a 3 star that was finaly getting some shine. plus isnt he in cali it would be diff if he committed tyhen was like off to florida i go to see the gators or fsu
That listing has been there forever (minus the ou commitment). That may be outdated information…
On his commitment thread in LT, I told everybody that we got in on him early and that the Cali schools were using his senior year to further “evaluate him” and that as soon as he committed to OU, they would all come after him. Have confidence in SoonerSquad17 and the relationship we built with him early.

I’ve noticed the list of visitors fro the Red/White game has been updated all week. If Grant shows up tomorrow with the other guys that would be cool. Maybe he committed last night due to the amount of visitors tomorrow?
https://twitter.com/MyJone98/status/718438273459167233
Good for him – Not sure we had a spot for him anyway
Jeff Okudah, Kary Vincent Jr, Ambry Thomas, Grant Delpit, and Deangelo Gibbs are the short-list
Don’t forget 5 star JaCoby Stevens.

Meanwhile at Baylor——-
So should we just lynch him now? I’m unsure of how the justice system works?
Not real well in waco.
Too true.
Too true.
I agree. While I do think he is definitely capable of doing something like this, false rape accusations at colleges are at an all time high (as well as the title IX lawsuits against the schools from the falsely accused) and it seems really suspicious to me that someone would drop this right before Shawn is about to get paid and not when it happened.
I feel like someone is trying to take advantage of the scrutiny the program is under right now. Even if Shawn didn’t do anything I could see the university paying to shut her up just to get this out of the public eye.
Apparently,they have done it before,i mean payed someone off.
I think the alleged rape happened early Sunday morning based on the report I read.
Honestly that only makes it worse. It’s impossible for me to believe that Oakman is stupid enough to rape a girl when he is on the verge of making millions and the university is already being attacked on all sides.
They met at a nightclub and she went home with him. I don’t buy that rape BS at all.
Oakman isn’t known for his intelligence, though.
Nah they will pay someone off.
Hey everybody i just got an email from scout saying we got a new commit,Grant
LMAO.
#BreakingNews
Breaking from Berry Tramel “Sooners Hire New OC Lincoln Riley”!
(I actually like Berry. I think he is a good guy, but gotta have some fun!)
Glad they are on top of things. LOL
“Hardware don’t lie” you say? Go compare that to UGA and TU, combined.
I see on the visitors list Hines does not say possible anymore,so i take it he is going to be here now?
i hope so man id love to see him committ
Yep,kids a hitter for sure!
has Hines put a timeline on his recruiting? has he said he’s waiting until NSD to commit?
Not sure of timeline,ill be happy if he makes it in SaturdayThe 17 will reel him in..
it sounds like he’s been around the program a lot the past couple years and been around the commits also. It sounds like he knows what he has at OU. He must still be looking around making sure he’s not missing something elsewhere so I wouldn’t think a commit would happen to OU anytime soon.
Thats fine,i like a commit to actually be real.
agreed. Sounds like the Sooners are the favorites for him at this point though.
I see someone is burning the candle at both ends.
People, stop talking to Rob please. It’s our friend back at it again….EXACT same intro as before
I’m the boogeyman alright.
huh?
He’s the booger man. Survives solely on his own boogers.
You tell me, apparently I have internet leprosy or something
Where?
Do you ever talk about football? I have never seen you make one football related post.
When?
Ever
Who?
you
Bye
Awwww leaving already? I thought this would go for hours.
Ok, here we go. First off let me say “It is always a great day to be a SOONER”, With that being said let me continue and please if anyone disagrees with my trademark statement let me know. I have not posted in two weeks now but i have been lurking in the shadows for that time. Life is definitely a two way street and everyone has disagreements from time to time but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Does this make either one of them wrong and or right of course not. This is the only social media sight that i use and would love to continue to be here with the TFB Family, but if things continue to go the way that they are then it may be the end for all of us not just one or two. When this site first started it was unlike anything out there and to a degree it is still the TOP NOTCH PLACE TO GO FOR EVERYTHING OU. I will be the first to say i dont agree with some comments but who am i to say that they are wrong. But there is such a thing as respect for one another. When you start talking about ones spouse,religion,race,financial status,sexual innuendos,etc.,etc. that is where everyone should draw the line. This site was made for something that most everyone here cares about and that is “OUR BELOVED SOONERS” Please feel free to respond with your feelings on this it is what it is and you are free to have your own feelings on this situation just as I am.
PLEASE ENTER MY APPLICATION FOR THE MOD JOB, TAKE IT TO A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
its only one idiot. it will pass.
But they have all of us idiots to choose from!!!
Maybe we should have a bake off. 🙂
I’d win that too.
agree 100%
Have noticed your absence lately and have missed you and your trademark! I agree with your post.
Was wondering if anyone even noticed!!! Only seen one comment asking about me. When certain things go on it is best to lurk. Like MaMa always said if you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all!!
You were missed!!!!!!!!!!
I just new for sure you would have asked where is 47?
I have!
Now Metz!!! I have been lurking sir!!!
Your a bad lurker!
47 for the last two weeks———-
Now Metz!!! I have been lurking sir!!!
Must agree with Mama. But I’ve been guilty so will try to do better.
We all have Slim. All we can do is move forward and try to be civil.
I follow the national protocol for missing adults; HA! HA!
You were missed.
Was i on the milk carton? Or was it a bottle of crown?
I saw you on a bottle of Jack.
OHHH, My favorite. But i can only have a nip or two. It is like Bruce said to McGee. You wont like me when im on Jack!! I tend to get spicy!!!!
Yeah me too it’s a once or twice a year drink for me. I just stick to the Bud Light TFB had 47 is missing with pictures of you on the 30 packs of Bud Light too.
Thats why i did not see it. I’m not on a diet so i do not drink Light beer unless i am forced too.
Just heavy beer then let the TFB know what you drink so we can get it on those bottles also.
I am a beer connoisseur. I will try just about any of them once!!
I don’t drink milk. LOL!
I missed your greeting 47‼️
I was was wondering where you had been.
It’s not the same without a “It’s always…”
Like i have always said,Malicong. I just try to spread cheer for our beloved SOONERS. Especially in those not so good times.
Well said… When this site first started it was just class in the comments

Sheesh. Good track record at Oklahoma. I imagine it’ll be just a live and learn for him.
Millions of dollars on the line and you’re battling exhaustion and injury for a spot on a team against dozens of other people at your position.
I hate steroid use but I understand why they do it.
I think it was suppose to read “PEZ” violation. (too much candy)
It is actually possible to test positive just from taking over the counter meds for colds and the flu, I believe.
The doctors and nutritionists for the teams have everything the players need.
If I remember correctly multiple things fall under the “PED” category in the NFL i.e. some types of pre workout.
^^^ this is why Z Sanchez may wish he would have stayed in college one more year. NFL is a grind and if you don’t have the physical/mental tools to cut it you may end up regretting skipping your last year of college. I wish all the our guys the best… I don’t pretend to know all of there personal circumstances.

Sure hate to hear this. I can’t pretend to understand the pressures of playing in the NFL, but still hate it for him.
Seems like it’s time for the P5 to seek complete autonomy from the NCAA.
Brandon’s blowing up Twitter.
https://twitter.com/BrandonTFB/status/718522457573818368
Except 4 out of the 5, P5 conferences voted to shut down satellite camps.
I know. But the votes are self-serving. The $EC has made it clear that they don’t want Harbaugh or Franklin in their neck of the woods. The Big XII (Texas schools) was stupid to give this the nod, considering the SEC is in your back yard. If you think the $EC needs to set up camps to have a presence, that’s stupid. The only reason the ACC gave it the nod was to not tip the balance toward the $EC.
The most recognizable brand out there is the $EC. By voting “yes” the $EC got everyone to do their work for them. The obvious choice was to say “no.” But apparently it wasn’t clear that they were being hoodwinked. They just got stronger.
Also consider this really punishes recruits who don’t have the money to travel to camp outside their geographical area. It’s definitely intended to give schools an advantage over kids in their area (specifically the SEC as you said)
So…. maybe he was on to something way back then ….
Of course- and it’s only gotten worse!
He was a hooligan, wasn’t he?
And this:
https://twitter.com/BrandonTFB/status/718519752209993728
Amateurism went out the window when they started limiting OVs and transfers. That has absolutely no basis other than maintaining a competitive imbalance.
Do regular students have to limit the schools they can visit before applying? Do regular students have transfer restrictions?
I rest my case.
Being a new college student i can answer this. Yes i could visit as many schools as i wanted. But i believe it is different for athletes, is it not. Because OV’s are paid for by the college and UOV’s are paid by the student and/or family?
Ok lets go back a bit though. The foundation of amateurism (athletes playing with no financial compensation) is that student athletes are students *first* and athletes second.
When you limit things like a players ability to transfer, or impose an transfer penalty on them, you are putting the game above the kid, and at that point you need to start talking compensation.
Drumm’s going HAM on these bitches because he’s pissed that it’s getting more and more obvious that this amateurist nonsense is getting out of control.
Dont get me wrong i believe totally that a student should have the right to choose where he/she wants to get their education. But then again the athlete should think about life after sports before going to a college that is only supportive of his/her athleticism.
Just FYI, you posted a very long and intuitive post earlier and are having a convo with the main culprit.
When?
Well the big issue here is that a lot of kids, even some of the best in the nation, depend on these camps. That’s where they get their brand out. That’s where they get noticed.
It really punishes kids who don’t have the ability to travel outside of their immediate geographic area.

I wonder, with all this talk about the Moderator and the objectionable content put on by some readers, if anybody ever uses the vote down button (v) under the comments. Seems like the site could be set up to automatically remove comment after 20(random number) down votes of a comment. Likewise if it kept track of who all had comments removed then after a total of say 10 (again random number) comments are removed then that person gets the ever dreaded “Ban Hammer!” I agree with 47 below in that there has to be a way to disagree without getting personal or overly aggressive! An example for me is our very own Jordan Esco. He is what I consider a Debbie Downer(said with all the love in the world) and I am what he considers a Little Mary Sunshine. LOL! We even had a couple of comments early on that I don’t think we each appreciated very much. But I will tell you that hands down he is my favorite poster and article writer on this site now! If you are here very long you can feel the passion he has for OU and that is the same passion that I have. Sometimes we express it differently but at the end of the day WE BOTH LOVE ALL THINGS OU! I sincerely hope a resolution can come to this small problems by a few people. This is hands down the best fan site for OU there ever has been or ever will be! Thanks again to Jordon Super K and the guys for everything you do!
Doobie, I have never once seen someones comment down voted. I for one did not want to be the first to do so.
I down voted all of that guys yesterday!
I FLAGGED them all but it does no good without a moderator, it appears.

Does it not keep a count like on the upvotes. Because i do not see them?
I don’t believe so, not visibly anyway
Even when i scroll over the down arrow it shows nothing. And yes i was aware of who i was conversing with down below. He asked a ? that i knew the answer to so i answered it.

I don’t think it doe’s. Only shows the down vote in red when I click on it.
Doobie,id probably already be gone from down votes!
There is a flag button. I use that but I don’t believe it really does much.
The problem is not identifying someone who is using objectionable content. That is usually dealt with quickly, very easy to see. Problem here is the same guy keeps coming back. This time he is not giving a direct reason to be banned (whereas before it was pretty simple). He is just redirecting the board from its purpose. It’s the same person just a different MO this time.
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well hey metz! What up? Who you have committing this weekend?
Ill go with Hines,if he makes it in!
I like it. For some reason I’m feeling another ’18 kid to get the SS18 going with Big Brey.
Yea the kid from img.
He looks like a good get Metz, I’m just hoping for some really big uglies for both lines, you’re probably right though.
Im with you Rick,on the big boys!
I want a couple of Booms on two 6’6″ 330 lb. dudes that want to anchor OUr line, and have a violent streak that happens when the play starts, and they both need to move like DB’s.

Doobie, what you’ve posted is reasonable. And if two reasonable people are having a conversation, with polarized opinions, well, I suspect they’d be reasonable in their disagreement.
But there are some who come here expecting to change other’s opinion 100%: you must put aside your own beliefs and take up theirs. We all know that’s not reasonable and it’s reasonable to expect the obvious to happen: WWIII.
Earlier this week one poster very cordially raised some concerns about the gifs. What happened? Nothing: no one took offense; those gifs ceased. I respect that person more than before because he didn’t say anything. He was simply respectful and understood that his point of view was not unanimous and not accepted by everyone. There was zero fanfare.
I took a small amount out on him.
You won’t let me protect your anonymity, will you?
I was respectful in my response
Fool, you.
You won’t let me protect your anonymity, will you?
I still GIF sometimes.

I respect that person more than before because he didn’t say anything. He was simply respectful and understood that his point of view was not unanimous and not accepted by everyone. There was zero fanfare.
As a technical aside, there is no ‘down vote’ button. The down arrow only removes your up vote. Pressing it when you haven’t up voted does nothing. In modern social media we can’t actually say we don’t like something we can only remove our liking of it
I think he was looking for increased functionality but maybe I’m wrong
My “ignore” feature works flawlessly every time, maybe it’s broke for some people. 🙂
I’ve been on many other boards and this one is very respectful and tame. I’m confident many of you would agree. Mods are babysitters for children.

Wow, who knew an NCAA ruling would affect D1 football programs…this is why I stay away from NewsOK articles.
Having admittedly not read the article, I presume he meant compared to all the Texas schools since that’s where the talent is.
I support this. The P5 schools, especially the blue bloods (OU, USC, Bama, OSU, ND, UM) do not need NCAA oversight. This totally sh1ts all over the schools that have a national brand.
Less than half our roster comes from OU and Texas. We need these camps. OU is pulling the number 2 class after UM landed the number and had all those camps and what does the NCAA do?
We’re insane. We’ve all gone insane.
Dang, I caught myself looking for a post that I could “down vote”. smh at my own self.
Down vote. Like that? LOL!

I have done a very nice deed today.SD asked for a Cheryl pic today and i responded with a very nice Cheryl pic.I even upvoted SD twice today.I asked him, yes i asked if the LLAMA pic
makes him laugh sometimes,he said sometimes.Then i told SD it was just about having fun.
I have extended the olive branch to SD.Now i feel better.One other thing i, like all have slowed way down on the giffs.I think members appreciate that, as we all agreed we got a little outta control.That said i did post a pretty Cheryl pic today and no upvote from Jordan,
i gotta say that hurt my feelings a little.As for the one with many names,it will pass,dont get down,and start freaking out thinking the board has gone to crap!!!!!Welcome back 47,It is indeed a great day to be a sooner! BOOMER SOONER Metz out well until later———–
Very Nice Metz.
Very Nice Metz.
Later dude!
Later dude!
Metz, Guess what? Unless they cancel all OU ATLETICS OVERNIGHT. Tomorrow too will be a “GREAT DAY TO BE A SOONER” “AND TEXSA WILL ALWAYS SUCK IN MY MIND”
Keep on being a Sooner –
As Barry says, the creator of the monster!!
Metz, Guess what? Unless they cancel all OU ATLETICS OVERNIGHT. Tomorrow too will be a “GREAT DAY TO BE A SOONER” “AND TEXSA WILL ALWAYS SUCK IN MY MIND”
Suck up. I will never forgive you or let you lived down that false OP alert.
LOL!
Have a great weekend, bro. Enjoy the game tomorrow.
The Shocker!
stop metzing around
It’s all good – keep on “Soonering”

Do we have a list of readers going?
I will be a participating spectator. As a veteran spectator, the coaching staff knows what I bring to the table, so there will be no tackling me to the ground. 2nd and 3rd string spectators need to learn the speed at which the game is spectated at this level, so feel free to tackle less experienced spectators. The most important thing we want to get out of this spring game tomorrow is escaping it with our experienced spectators uninjured.
I don’t think so, at least I haven’t seen one. I’ll be there with my grandsons. Are you going?
Yeah I’ll probably try to be there in the morning if not by noon.
I will be there.
My son and I will be there. I guess I need to update my pic, since he’s 5’10 and 230 now! ; )
Won’t be able to attend this year. Sad to say.
Anyone lurking?
Yessir
Pretty dead this evening. Hope the # SS17 gets a pickup tomorrow.
Say it Hinessssssssss
How’s it going? Nice weather!
Beautiful
Going good pink how are you?
Good. Still getting over my rotator cuff surgery and my wife is sick so I guess I’ll watch the game on Fox Sports. Really cool that I even have that option! They do a pretty fair job of commentating it but the main thing is that you get to watch it even when you can’t get down to Norman.
rotator?
Yeah. You know there’s like 3 tendons running over the top of your upper armbone- the acromium I think it’s called- and attaching to the bones in your shoulder. The shoulders a complex joint because it has to go in every direction, unlike the rest of them in your body. If you tear them lose from the bone it’s real slow to heal because there’s so little bloodflow to tendons and ligaments.
BIKE crash from past?
No – that gave me a titanium knee, LOL! I jammed my arm into a wall snatching at my keys I started to drop right beside it and tore it pretty badly. Weird deal but it’s getting much better.
wow,sorry, shoulders are bad news.On that note titanium aluminum alloy,sorry had a T 2 moment.
They work damn well although they don’t flow into a liquid and reassemble themselves or anything. It’s a high dollar piece of hardware. Modern medicine is awesome. They used to just fuse it all together and give you a peg leg! Which was better then it giving out on you all the time.
I agree, my shoulder was so bad it would pop out in my sleep, used to freak my x out. ID hop outta bed scream, push against the wall, relax back in place.
LETHAL WEAPON! LOL
I blew the front of my shoulder, missed a gear, missed the double.
I’m busy and may have to record it. Will watch one way or the other.
nice in Lubbock cloudy and 70 it might actually rain
We were 73 and NO WIND after a couple of days of ridiculous 40-45 MPH air that makes it aggravating to even go outside! It is so beautiful outside right now. I always look at French Cafe’s and think “no way that’s happening around OKC!” It wouldn’t be little stuff like napkins on most days either- it would be your food and drink flying off the plate from some danged huge gust of wind, LOL!
Yep last few days here have been nasty, blowing dirt,today perfect!
Yep
Howdy
Not really lurking, more getting things done and checking the page now and then…..so lurking I guess. 🙂
Just signed in 47
Whaaaasuuuup?
cheersssssssssss Ray!
I’ve been fir a while
I would like to know the cons of having satellite camps. Seems like there can’t be very many valid arguments against them. I think the problem is that there’s only about 20-30 universities that have a profitable football program so more than 75% of the teams do not have the funds or the clout to host camps in Texas, California, Florida, etc. therefore they want a more level playing field in recruiting.
You about answered your own question, I think there have been a lot cries of unfair.
I know now why you cry!
I’m crying now because after reading my post it appears I can’t type right now. lol.
slow down, fill your glass, its the weight differential throwing you off.
I’m on it!
get in there Ray!
It’s not going to make the small schools like Iowa state or Indiana any more competitive. The more kids uncovered by schools like OU and Michigan the more kids the small schools no longer have to dig for. OU and Michigan can’t offer every kid that attends their camps. It would be wise for the conferences to set up camps sort of like college/job fairs. Then they can host around 1000 kids and each one can be introduced to each program if interested.
Job fair, that’s it!
That’s actually brilliant.
I don’t care about competitive balance, the bottom line is there are thousands of kids whose only real shot at college is ball and the majority of them can not afford to go to every camp. I could only afford to go to one a year when I was a kid and of course it was OUs
Doesn’t sound bad to me.
It’s always going to be unfair. Some schools just have more money than others. They will find somewhere to spend it. Right now the NCAA makes sure as little as possible goes to the players and potential players. So where does the money go? Coaches salaries, more administrators, big expensive facilities. I would much rather that money go to the young people that are risking their health and to a small extent their life. Whether that is a stipend or camps where kids can get training and a chance to play somewhere or some other way I don’t care.
Me too. I view the NCAA about the same way I view the mofia, except the mofia accomplished things.
I think they should be given 1500-2500 a month in a stipend. And crack down big time on the “bag men” in the SEC and elsewhere that give out money and jobs to relatives as well as players. Take that temptation away as much as possible. The NCAA takes in billions so they could afford it.
I wish more of the money stayed in the fans pockets.
Yep. Sour grapes.
If a BOOM comes tomorrow, whom might be that BOOM?
Would be nice if the next one was over 290 lb’s.
Yeah right now are average number of stars is great. Our average number of pounds is below 200.
Yep lets get Marvin, pretty sure we got the ot from img.Glad we are getting all these bad ass cbs cuz if we don’t have a push they can cover!
Finally rewatch ing the second half of the Orange Bowl. Defensively OU wasn’t that far off. Charles Tapper had a heck of a game. The defense just got worn down and it looked like the linebackers struggled much more than the D-line. Offense, the problems were obvious. Hopefully the line takes a big step up next year.
Interesting Cale Gundy interview.
https://sportstalk1400.podomatic.com/entry/2016-04-08T08_42_34-07_00
thanks fear I love Cale,makes me excited
Good things coming to us BOOMERS
I have always been a fan of Cale. Got to see him speak at one of the Alumni meetings a couple of years ago. Really personable.
Sydney Romero gets OU softball on the board first with a long HR. 1-0 top of the 4th
Televised?
Sorry, was listening to the link below with Gundy and Toby. Glad you found it.
Never mind, just found it.
Baseball team down one to Baylor in the 6th.
Yep, watching both
I don’t get FSOK in Indiana. Gotta watch the stats feed.
Bummer. Thank God for internet! 🙂
Thank Al Gore. 😉
Hotel? Ask them if they have FCSC: Fox College Sports Central.
FS1 is all I got.
Sorry, dude.
It’s all good, bruh.
Upgrade to the sports pack if you have DirecTv. That’s why we did in St. Louis. Love catching Oklahome games
Work trip. Hotel cable.
BC, that’s sweet. I need that setup. I need Mrs. SamSooner to approve of such sweetness.
I just have a spot in the living room where I can see the main tv and the tv in the master at the same time. Not the same but it works in a pinch. 🙂
You guys are creative and.
Ok so yall tomorrow, I have to work so I hope im home in time for game —–
If you see a an old guy jumping around like a 20 year old, that could be me. lol
WooooHooooo 2 run HR by Erin Miller.
Do Not forget to vote for Erin
https://twitter.com/erinmiller48/status/714991639433883648
We need the Baseball team to get hot in the final 3 innings and bring home the win.
Hollas is going to walk and then Neuse will go yard.
I like your way of thinking.
Oh well….
Triple is not a bad place to be with only 1 away.
And he gets stranded. Awesome.
Don’t forget Buddy getting the Wooden Award tonight. It’s on ESPN2 right now.

Glad to see the rest of the nation believes what we already knew. 🙂
Congratulations, Buddy Hield! 2016 John Wooden Award winner!!!
absolutely deserved the award. great pub for the Sooner program………..
Congrats Buddy and Thank you for all you’ve done.
Buddy Buckets!!! Congratulations, Buddy!
Tori Nirschl hits a 2 run HR to stretch the lead to 5-0.
It was beautiful!
When she transferred in, I thought she would play a much larger role than she has.
honestly surprised the Baylor pitcher looked so ordinary tonight……Baylor looks shell shocked right now…..
You obviously have not been watching OU softball. OUr team is batting has an average of over .360, that is scary good hitting for such a young team.
actually I have seen several games….Baylor’s pitcher was not the commanding presence I figured she would be…3 Sooner HR’s tonight…..
Also, please note on your screen. Do not reply to BC! Do not reply to BC! Thank you.
I am curious what the voting was. I would be surprised to see if the vote was even close. I thought Buddy was a lock for a while. But, I am a bit of a homer that way.
https://twitter.com/ESPNCBB/status/718604328743919616
Sweet Buddy Buckets!!! I do not watch much NBA, but I may beginning next year. I pray that he goes to a team that I can follow. Mavs, Spurs, or OKC would be most excellent!!!
All three will be in the playoffs. Buddy will go in the lottery.
Do not know much about the lottery system (Lost all respect for the NBA when they adopted the choose a tile system). Can a team trade up or down like in the NFL?
Yes but it doesn’t happen very often, if at all. When teams trade draft picks, they make sure they’re protected for three years or so in the event that it’s a lottery pick.
ahhh. If it is an eastern team, will be out of my viewing pleasures.
Here. Play for yourself.

Topping Out the stadium. Whatever that means.
https://www.soonersports.com/
Yeah, they mentioned what it wasn’t, but didn’t clarify what topping out meant in the video. Hmmm, research time.
It means they have used all of one of the materials, i.e. concrete, steel, etc.
Cool.
I think, in the steel industry, it represents hanging the highest piece of the project.
Thank you! I understand the significance of that feat.
Correct
OU Baseball ties it in the 8th.
SOONER’S win in 9! 4 to 3
WhoooooHoooooo!!! Walk off hit in the 9th to win it. Swept Baylor tonight.
Great interview with Buddy.

Nice of them to offer it up free, Dustin may appreciate this if he’s still in a hotel.
How much will they charge me after I forget to cancel next week?
I see it in the fine print now. $9.99/mo
Yooooo can doooo it. 🙂
I’m considering but that neulion needs to learn some new tricks as well.
You probably have to call a # and get grilled by somebody in a call center. No thanks.
It just rolls over and charges you for the next month. The site give you a heads up that the period yiu are paying for is about to end and asks what do you want to do. No answer, they charge you for the new month. I didn’t check the site in August as I bought the year subscription along with the one pay per view game the year before. The charged me for the next year right before the Akron game, which was legitimate on their part – nothing shady. I emailed them and they gave me an immediate refund no hassles at all. I the turned around and bought just the Akron game.
Happy happy joy joy… Fox Sports Central carrying the game….
Fox Sports SW carrying game here in Houston.
I’m getting the game out here in the People’s Socialist Republic of California. Thanks for the info though!

Don’t know if IMG has a band, but Booker T. would win that one. 🙂
Percussion section, at least. I’m sure you can hear them all the way in Skiatook. lol
Hey, Dustin, we got about 3 inches of snow in Akron last night. You getting any snow out that way?
We did yesterday afternoon/evening. It’s all melted now. I was driving back from Fort Wayne about 6 p.m. and visibility was about 100 feet. Traffic was slowed to about 40 mph on I-69.
Welcome to the Midwest. It won’t be truly warm up this way until May.
Oh, I’m well aware. I was in Michigan last year from April to July.
I think I’m going to that. And the cedar hill vs bishop gorman.
Watching the South Carolina spring game……… They are in for another longgggggggg season. Brown is one of the commentators. He has to be one of the most positive people I’ve ever heard talk. He is almost likable now that he no longer coaches the texass cows .

Hoping Dakota shines this fall and locks down a spot. If ‘size’ is a thing, then don’t think Jordan is going to give OU a look as he isn’t much larger: 5’11 170 listed.
I couldn’t find any info on him. Where’d you find his size?
