The Football Brainiacs

OU players are expected to officially report today, so as far as I’m concerned it’s the start of the season!

FOOTBALL

*There’s a chance the surveillance video in the alleged Joe Mixon incident may never be released. (NewsOK)

*Which leads me to this. I don’t know about all of you, but I could not be more over all of this. So I’m done talking about it until something of relevance actually happens. I’m not telling everyone here that you can’t talk about it (how could I stop you?), if you feel the need that’s obviously one of the reasons this forum exists. And, of course, when/if something happens we’ll be sure to update you here as soon as it does. But for now, I’m done (which all but guarantees something will happen today and I’ll be forced to talk about it, lol!).

OSU rather conveniently just discovered “the recent graduation of student-athlete from the 1990’s” and will now no longer face APR penalties. (OSU)

On person’s (and a respectable person, in my opinion) Top 10 list of CFB’s offensive coaches most likely to be considered for head coaching jobs next year. List does not include Josh Heupel or Jay Norvell. (Fox Sports)

ESPN Gameday is going to be at Ok. State/FSU. (Twitter)

Three more Texas players could be facing a suspension. (DMN)

Kurt Warner wants Sam Bradford to ‘take some chances with the football.’ (ESPN)

So, we’re gonna run some Wildcat this year I guess. (I really don’t feel like it’s necessary to qualify that with an “I’m kidding”, but just in case anyone missed the joke. I’m kidding.)

These are horrible.

This isn’t even the bad kind of good. It’s just bad. Like really, really bad.

huff99 (who has a fantastic YouTube channel I’d recommend to every OU fan) uploaded the entire 2001 national championship game.

RECRUITING

Sooners’ lone remaining 2014 signee who has yet to make it to campus, Vontre McQuinnie, says he’ll be reporting to OU as soon as possible following completion of his summer classes next week. (Twitter)

OU made their third 2016 QB offer yesterday to Jarrett Guarantano, which is quite a departure from the norm for Josh Heupel. (Twitter)

Kids these days get all the cool bleep we didn’t get back in the day. (Kickstarter)

This UCLA campus flood footage is insane.

I suppose this is to be expected, but still rather disturbing.

I don’t have any idea what this is (though you can read more about it here), but I know it’s a “game” I never, ever want to play.

Looks decent.
