Bwahahaha “Longhorn Network is not a Nielsen-rated station. ESPN does receive internal metrics to give network officials an idea how programming is doing. “Longhorn Extra” has long been a low-rated program, if it scored any ratings AT ALL”.
Hahaha no grades..
not even those Star/demerit stickers…
Nice and early Boomer today!
Pagan!
Forty Seven!
OUr Baker is a BEAST! Texsa SUCKS deeply along with their network. Bailer’s ex-coach is an insult to D bags everywhere. It’s good to be a Sooner.
I believe the DA is in Louisiana since the crime was committed there. But it is the usual state of affairs for LA public officials and politicians to be corrupt.
Socks!
No question in my mind if the Monroe, LA district attorney could make charges stick he would prosecute to get two Alabama players off of the field. It appears obvious to me the police screwed up as is somewhat usual in most arrest. It is just that most do not have top grade attorneys representing them and therefore do not get charges thrown out for police errors. The Bama players for certain were represented by the best attorneys.
$$ was paid and they are on their way.
Slim!
Howdy, 47! Had to go to town for momma.
Cool, early and all. Morning all.
Matt!
Hi 47!!
Gosh dangit it’s a great morning to be a Sooner!!
Mike!
Yo 47!!
Good morning fellow Brainiacs!!! “It is another great day to be a SOONER” Is it just me or was there very little content today? I guess I better just take what I get, as to not get my subscription canceled. Should be about time for another McKenzie article. FEED US!! FEED US!!! Now get out there and seize the day!!
TFB can’t report what isn’t there to be reported . Time to reflect on women’s softball and any upswing in contributions to the improvement of the softball facility ? I did, however, see the WBB site with Dungee’s pic….It didn’t mention the fact the state’s only McDonald’s AA , AAliyah Wilson of Muskogee , signed with Arkansas…Tough to upgrade the WBB program when the best talent leaves the state ………
How much have you donated?
not as much as I would like…..
I don’t know about any of you but I am really enjoying the block feature.
Is that why you don’t respond to me? I was your first candidate? ///sss
LOL, no no no just you know who and all the $98 dollar ads
You mean we shouldn’t respond to those? I just sent them some money!!!
You would get more for your money with a women working on the street. just sayin

OU already know!
Good morning, TFB Family.
Quick question: Max and I are coming out for the tOSU game. Is there a hotel close enough to the stadium so we can walk to the game? I’d prefer not to drive in all of that traffic.
Good Morning!
Sam, there is an app called Hotel Tonight. We use it all the time and it works great.
Bred!
morning OUknow!
Cool. Thanks a lot, SB4E!
Sam!
47!
Where are you coming from?
I don’t really remember a hotel within walking distance of the stadium…
OU motel if it still exist
DFW.
It’s not close to the stadium, but the new Embassy Suites down there is nice.
How far away is it, RD?
A few miles probably. Farther than you’d want to walk in that town. It’s a little over $100/night but I’ve always felt it was worth it.
If it’s a couple miles away, I’m good. That would get me some exercise for the day. I really want to avoid the traffic, especially if I’m not familiar with the town.
Actually just stayed there last month. It is very nice, and free drinks from 5-7:30 I believe. Could see the stadium from the room I was in!! But i was on the 6th floor.
Thanks, 47!
I would rather not drive in that traffic.
I know the feeling. It makes the old road rage kick in for myself. Luckily it is a lot easier when you are on a bike, and better parking too!!
Sam, maybe give them a call and see if they have a shuttle that could take you there? It is worth a shot!!
That’s a thought. There’s bus service, but I think it shuts down on game days due to traffic.
It would not surprise me if they did cancel services on game day!! Mornin, Richard!!
That’s what I’ve heard. I haven’t used the city bus service, so I can’t say for sure. I believe they have a shuttle from Lloyd Noble on game days.
I think it’s more like 4 or 5 miles.
That’s a lot of excercise. LOL!
If I were you, I would get to the hotel the night before/early(ish) gameday morning, and just take a cab or an Uber closer to the stadium around lunch. Hang out on campus corner and wander through the tailgating until game time.
That’s the plan, RD. We are landing in DFW around noon, on Friday. We will drive up, be there by 2pm, I would imagine.
Nice. Sounds like a good weekend.
It will be. We will spend the night in Norman, following the game, drive to DFW on Sunday to catch our flight home. I’m looking forward to doing this with Max.
Good morning, Sam. Just my 2 cents. DFW is a nightmare getting in and out but maybe you are used to driving in the big city. If you go to an OU game, again, would highly recommend flying in and out of Will Rogers/OKC. If you arrive at noon, it’s going to be around 3-3 1/2 hour trip to from DFW to Norman. Flying out, same but w/ rental return and shuttle ride from rental center to terminal, allow another hour. As far as hotels, just checking hotels.com, they are booking up fast. ‘Sooner Legends’ has always been a fav destination but booked.
Thanks, hOUligan. I couldn’t get any direct flights into OKC from Cleveland. I will definitely book my hotel soon.
Sam, try this link.

Morning everyone
morning dave
Howdy CW
CW!
Good Morning Dave!
Howdy Birddawg
Mornin..
74 longggg days until kickoff..
Yep luckily my Cubbies are playing well so I do have some sports to watch in the meantime
Good stuff…
I got nothing but TFB for the summer ahead with my tv shows and all my sports ending..
TFB is a great OU remedy for the dog days of summer
Indeed, discovered TFB two summers ago..
I cant imagine life without it.
About the same for me, happy TFBversary
the site will eventually be sold to somebody who will change its content and it will fade away…who would have thought ESPN would experience problems ….
I doubt it.
———–
Sure wish Coghlan had taken second when Almora was thrown out stealing third. Zobrist’s single would have brought him home. It’s all good though.
Didn’t get to watch the game last night. The good thing is they still have room to improve
It was a good game. We have so much youth it’s unreal. Hope they break the curse this year.
If the pitching stays this good they have a great chance
Dawg!
Dave!
47!
Yo Dave.
Howdy Rainy
Good morning, Dave!!
Howdy J.r.
Assuming that list of QBs is ranking the best college Qbs…
Baker is not high enough on that list…
(Best College qbs generating nfl scouts interest without looking toward 2017 draft? wtf does that mean)
?? Am I reading it wrong, or is he listed as #2 overall behind Watson? That seems like a perfect spot for him to me
QB Comp Atts Pct Yards TDs INT Rate
A 333 491 67.8 4109 35 13 156
B 269 395 68.1 3700 36 7 173
Which QB?
Watson also had 1k rushing yards… I’m not slighting Baker in the least, but to the NFL, Watson is more appealing.
Oh I know you’re not taking anything away from baker.
I just like my QBs being able to throw the ball with efficiency.
1 or 2 .. 2 or 1.. I guess it doesn’t matter.
Watson has more nfl potential…
But Baker is the better college QB .. JMO
Baker makes all the throws and he doesn’t make mistakes
Almost every list made will have deshawn Watson #1 when Baker is clearly the better passer.
Bakers number would have been better… He had game and half less stats.. ( no CCG and knocked out of TCU)
I love Baker, but watching Watson torch ‘Bama like he did w his feet and his arm made it hard for me to argue against anyone listing him as the #1 QB in the country. Granted, that was the only other time I watched a full game of his besides when he played against us.
We beat Clemson, if not for Watson. That 40 yard run of his broke the game open because it put our D on their heels the rest of the way.
I’m not so sure… they ran for 300 yards against OU. Clemson dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides. They also beat OU the year before with their backup.
Striker was great pass rusher.. but a 5’11 220lb LB trying to set the edge against a 6’6 300 tackle doesn’t happen…..
Look at the guys we recruited
Caleb Kelly 6’3 220
Mark Jackson 6’3 220
This class …Addison Gumbs 6’4 220
All guys with bigger frames… longer arms.. more weight.
Set the damn edge..
force them to banana outside create more of an angle advantage for LBs/S
OR
force them inside
Too bad those guys can’t play in last year’s Orange Bowl.
I think they will get their chance this coming year…
I’m not so sure… they ran for 300 yards against OU. Clemson dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides. They also beat OU the year before with their backup.
Bama consistently took away his first read and he kept drives alive with his legs… check downs, screens, and middle of field deep throws..
I just never saw a “Baker” esqe 50 yard deep down the sideline dime.. In all the games I watched of Watson.
Watson 10/15 games with interceptions
Baker 5/13 games…
Baker threw an interception in 5 games… that’s 8 games with a clean turnover sheet by a QB that had 270 pass attempts.That’s incredible.
I wonder how long Baylor and Briles will continue try to wipe it off on each other?
To me it’s a sticky situation between Briles/Baylor. Briles can open a can of worms on the BOR while the BOR can open a can on Briles. I think the lawyers are saving the good stuff until one turns on the other. Then the stuff will really hit the fan.
Both sides want a settlement to prevent information being leaked to the press.. I suspect Briles got what he wanted from the settlement and Baylor received a promise from briles to keep his mouth shut….there’s a chance nothing incriminating either side will ever reach the public……..in the meantime, the same cast of houligans, rapists, thugs dot the roster of the FB & BB teams and both are anxiously awaiting the next crop of coeds set to arrive in August…..
It is sad that this is true

7ON7 Today?Maybe we get an OP.
Hey Metz…… fingers crossed. yesterday was a painful wait for just daily news.
Indeed it was Woof!
Pretty disgusting all the bailer stuff, and now the bama kids. Its a really sad state we have allowed ourselves to get to when football trumps everything else.
I know its always been that way to an extent, but it seems really, really bad now. Maybe its just the fact we have more access than ever before, i dunno.
Hearing we may lose a defensive player. Mostly just talk right now though.
on team now?
Yep. Young player, but not a starter.
youth, wasted on the young. Grades, showing up, doing the right thing…..
From what I hear it’s a personal issue, but you’re right woof, wasted opportunities on the young.
Dalton Wood by chance?
Dalton will be starting. No way it’s him!
Yeah, I forgot.
Sooner play by play announcer “Brent Rawls drops back, looks, and hits Dalton Woods right in the hands on a beautiful slant!”
I used to roll when the announcer would get Hunt and Cumby’s names jumbled together. That’s all I’ve got on play by play.
Dalton and Gunner have been secretly practicing!
Ground Hog Day….all over again.
OU coaches are trying to throw off our opponents by saying Dalton left. He’s secretly working with the 1st team.
But … does that mean he’s leaving?
Only the Shadow knows.
Hey KJ,
You and I had a discussion on C.Kelly awhile back..
Have you heard anything about how well he is getting involved..
Do you think he has a legit chance to play LB for us this year?
Been trying to check on how things are going so far, but from what I hear the freshmen are just now getting to work out with Schmitty. And Im not even sure if the freshmen are with the upperclassmen yet. I think he has a better than average chance to start not only because he’s really good but because of our LB situation. The scheme isnt complicated, get lined up right dont be out of position and make plays.
Gotcha, thanks for the update.
OLB and DB2 are the two camp battles I’m interested in..
I was thinking of having Kelly play inside etc.. but you’re right about his fit at OLB..
He’s going to be a good one
If it happens, feel bad for the kid/team.
I hope it’s just talk and it doesn’t happen.
Curious, which group does he fall in – LB/DL/DB.
Without giving anything away could you just tell us the first 6 letters of his last name KJ?
Without giving anything away could you just tell us the first 6 letters of his last name KJ?
The first six letters are between the letters….A and Z.
KJ, I think I can solve it with just two letters of the last name!!!
How young?
14
yikes, u got a sick mind
what mind?
I was just insinuating at what a young age the college game is trying to lock up player commits.
guess: Will Sunderland
Where are you hearing this?
Where are you hearing this?
Dline?
Heaven Forbid!
I know,right!!!!!!!!
Right Metz…if it was either Lampkin or Galloway Id seriously be depressed lol.
No kidding 2##$$##$
I think most of us fans don’t realize the amount of heart and desire it takes to become a success for a student athlete. It is a lot of pressure for a young man to adjust to. Maybe he just needs some time to realize what is important in his life and what is best for his future. I hope he toughs it out and stays with us. But in the end if his heart isn’t in it he needs to seek greener pastures as he sees fit.
True, extremely difficult. Not too many kids can do it all. Be successful on the field, in the classroom and enjoy the college life. Alot of sacrifices to chase your dream. But you only have a small window, and you’ll never get those years back.
Stephen Taylor?
is there a Stephen Taylor on the roster ? that name doesn’t ring a bell ….
Stanvon?

That could be Bob’s last contract extension.. I don’t see him staying much longer after 61.
He’s said that he intends to go longer, I seem to recall 65, as long as all is well, but given his other remarks I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s contingent upon the team of Joe C. and Boren sticking around as well.
sooner music to my ears 🙂
Boren is getting up there in years….He may / may not make it to 2021 and , if he does, he may not have the faculties to lead the university…
I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Like I’ve said before, I really think Stoops wants to coach his sons at the college level, and ’21 will be their (no RS) SR years. I could see him hanging it up after they leave.
Can’t image why they would have extended him only one additional year if it wasn’t his final contract. As much as I don’t want to see him go, I can’t blame the guy. Retire with enough time left to enjoy the spoils of victory.
What???? They didn’t fire Bob??????? WTF!!!!
