Sooners News Daily 4.4.14

Not the busiest of news days, but we managed to piece this together. Happy Friday, y’all.

FOOTBALL

As a matter of principle, I simply could not bring myself to link to Berry Tramel’s latest masterpiece. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t and/or haven’t, just know it must have been a VERY slow day in The Oklahoman sports department yesterday.

ESPN’s College Football Live used this graphic yesterday to bag on OU’s non-con schedule. Just one problem….

noncon

Another practice clip that will probably be taken down in 3….2….1…. See, told ya.

Texas wasted spent nearly $267k for someone to tell them to hire Charlie Strong. (Fox Sports)

Just because.

BASKETBALL

OSU is losing what was supposed to be one of their key contributors next year. (NewsOK)

My word, Blake.

OTHER

Another update from OU Baseball’s ‘Shave for the Brave’ efforts, pretty cool. (Sooner Sports)

I wasn’t sure what exactly to do with this, so I’ll just leave it here.

Never been a big late-night guy, but even I can recognize the significance of this.

    Tramel gets off the meds now and then, espn needs to get on some meds and hire some good fact checkers. There should be a highlight reel dedicated to Millard with all his good plays.Letterman, does anyone really care? Thanks Jordan.

  • Big Higg says:

    Lmao @ espn. Idiots. I can’t bear to read half of Tramel’s crap.

  • Eric Hoffpauir says:

    I was at the game where Millard broke that run. That was just the icing on the cake in the second half. K-State fans were talking crap all game, and even when we put the smackdown on them after halftime, one of them kept jawing about how we could only do it with finesse through the air. Then our FB(!) runs right through them for a 61 yd. TD! Finally shut the last of them up.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Aaaaaaaand, as predicted…..Byrd’s Instagram has been taken down

    • Sooner Ray says:

      Can’t believe it was up as long as it was.

    • Eric Hoffpauir says:

      Not surprising at all. Not only was it raw footage of the practice, it also showed some details about playcalling.

      • Jordan Esco says:

        And the actual play-call itself up in the header. Have heard the coaches are, as one would assume, not happy at all about the players doing this type of stuff.

    • soonermusic says:

      I wonder how long before they institute some kind of penalty for the kids that do that. I’d imagine that the last thing the coaches want other teams to get a peek at is how we might line up,or what blocking schemes we might use on a given play. And I suppose it’s possible that showing your teammate getting stuffed might not be the best etiquette.

      • Jordan Esco says:

        I’d hope it doesn’t come to that. Just a talking to and carry on about their day.

        • soonermusic says:

          I agree. And, in thinking about it, it shouldn’t be that hard, once they decide to make a point, to get it across without going further than that.

  • Shelby is a Patriot says:

    Finally, Letterman has been terrible for years, and I don’t even watch those shows (who does??)

    • Jordan Esco says:

      I don’t and thus really didn’t have an opinion. I just know it was a big deal, at least to some, from a pop culture standpoint so I included it 😉

      • Gary Robbins says:

        The guy dancing was hilarious-must have just passed his Calculus test!
        Berry Tramel must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Some of the comments were : Berry needs a hug and go drink a beer and relax.
        Other news here in Oklahoma – Tulsa U. just lost their basketball coach to Wake Forest and the Thunder whipped the S.A. Spurs again
        Is their a official site or list where a person can find out the Visitors for the OU Spring game?

    • nisakat2 says:

      he hasn’t been a damn since he lost larry bud melvin

      • Shelby is a Patriot says:

        Probably because I’m too young, I don’t know who that is, so I’m just going to agree with you, Lol.

  • Shelby is a Patriot says:

    That guy dancing at the OU game, I remember that. Pretty freaking funny.

  • SoonerPhins says:

    After OU thrashed ESPN University (Alabama) they had to think of something to downgrade them after eating so much crow.

  • normanite says:

    Obviously they were made by some student group, but I would love to have a plain white T-shirt like that guy’s wearing that just says “BOOMER SOONER”. Any ideas?
