    Is Austin Cantrell being recruited on offense or defense? And what are our chances with him being an Oklahoma kid

  • OU_Sooners says:

    Gosh, nothing good coming from the TCU camp in Fort Worth, huh?

  • Sooner Ray says:

    Other schools are having kids back out…..WHAAAAAAA?? We’re still making some good offers, all is ok here in the middle.

    • EasTex says:

      They are waiting for their U.S. Army All-American Bowl invite, so they can pick a hat on national television.
      Too early to buy the popcorn.

  • EasTex says:

    It just seems an odd culture has developed at TCU in the past few years.

    Pasha, dude, Cuba?

  • Jacob Jones says:

    Given the choice would you take Tyreik Gray or Rodney Anderson?

  • BigJoeBrown says:

    Let me go ahead and say….with it being the offseason, I always look forward to your “other” section. Where do you find this stuff?

      A bunch of different places. These type of posts can get to be so repetitive and, IMO, boring. I resisted doing them ever since I started writing online. Was just never a big fan of them, always felt like it so, I don’t know, remedial.

      But in my experience a majority of people seem to enjoy them and they’re relatively easy to put together. So when I decided to do it, I had two primary goals.

      1) Don’t link to any and everything just b/c it might be OU related. There is a lot of crap out there and I don’t see any point in wasting anyone’s time w/ that.

      2) Try and keep it light, just have some fun w/ it. The nature of the post itself (again, IMO) is pretty stupid to begin with, so why not embrace it. If it lightens the mood of the day even for just a minute or two, I figure that’s worth the effort on my part.

    On Longhorn welfare, Young also apparently had an offer to go play in the CFL. I saw that on NBC’s College Football Talk, where they scoffed at the amount of money ($63,000/yr) he’d be making as far too little.

    The average person would love to be making $63,000 a year, but then again, if you’ve got Longhorn welfare, why bother?

  • thedeez says:

    I’m not sure what in the world those people were thinking messing with a moose.

  • BigJoeBrown says:

    Have there been anymore updates in regards to facility improvements? Whether it be the weight room, Lloyd Noble, Softball facilities or ect…

    In addition, is it just growing pains with a new coach with what is going on with baseball? Damn….

  • Shelby is a Patriot says:

    Yeah, Pasha can stay in Cuba…
