Open Post | Tuesday, Nov. 24th (UPDATE 4:17 pm)
Posted on: November 24, 2015

– Velus Jones: This past weekend, 2016 WR and USC commit, Velus Jones took an official visit to OU and it could not have gone better. Jones said, “I knew the trip would be good but I didn’t realize it would be that good”. Jones didn’t hesitate to say that Oklahoma is at or near the top for him. “I’ve got a good relationship with coach Riley, coach Simmons, coach Stoops…all those guys…it feels like family there.”
Velus said that the coaches really sold him on the idea of being able to come in and use his speed to be a guy like Sterling Shepard who can take the top off of a defense but also use his savvy and quickness to be a good short and intermediate route threat. Oklahoma’s scheme is very appealing to Velus saying, “I’ll do what the coaches ask but a receiver loves to have the ball in his hands and make plays.” Velus also said he connected well the OU players and was hosted by freshman receiver, A.D. Miller.
Jones took the visit with his high school coach but was also accompanied by his aunt and uncle, who…get this…wait for it…wait for it…live in the Oklahoma City area! That’s right, Jones actually has a very close family tie to Oklahoma and admitted that will have an effect on his decision.
Jones says he will take a visit to Michigan this coming weekend followed by a trip to Knoxville to visit Tennessee sometime after that. But he said that he will silently commit before making his official announcement and it sounds like Michigan and the Vols are going to need a lot to overtake the Sooners right now; especially with the close family tie that Jones has to Oklahoma. – (Brandon & Super K)
– Casey Thompson: Sooners fans know the Thompson lineage. The youngest looks to be the best of the 3 QB’s in the family. At least, potentially. Sooners offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley has made it clear to Thompson that he is very high on him and is already making him a priority. With the Sooners already having their 2016 and 2017 quarterbacks lined up, it helps Riley concentrate on his 2018 prospects. The other, besides Thompson, seems to be another Sooners legacy in Jalen Mayden from Sasche, Texas. Thompson, though, seems to be the top prospect of the two for the Sooners and perhaps rightly so. Thompson ended his sophomore season leading a very young Southmoore team the 6A playoffs, before being knocked out by Edmond Santa Fe. His season stats were other worldly, too. Thompson ended the season with 52 total touchdowns (32 passing and 20 rushing), 2,670 yards passing and 1,011 yards rushing. He also only had four passes intercepted during the season.
Thompson made another visit to OU this past weekend. I spoke with Thompson after his visit and he informed me that things are picking up between he and OU. He had a good conversation, on his unofficial Saturday, with Riley. Thompson tells me that he has plans to take another unofficial to OU the week after the OSU game and spend some one on one time with Riley, who recently went to watch Thompson in person when they played Norman North, so they can get to know each other a little better. Thompson holds offers from Oklahoma State, SMU, Oregon State and Arkansas State right now. If things continue to progress, with Thompson and OU, one could see OU being added to his offer list. Something OU fans, I’m sure, would be glad to see. – (Brandon)
– Andraez ‘Greedy’ Williams: Sooners are well aware of the talent at Shreveport, Louisiana Calvary High School. Oklahoma has a commitment from star safety Chanse Sylvie, already. Sylvie is one of the more vocal leaders of this class that is not afraid to publically recruit others to join him. We all know LSU’s staff is on a hot seat, to say the least. TFB caught word that dialogue between Williams and Sooners defensive back coach Kerry Cooks is picking up again. It’s just in the preliminary stages so far, but if anyone can pull off a late switch it would Cooks, with help from Sooners 2016 class lead recruiter, and Williams teammate, Sylvie. As more information comes available and if OU gains some traction with Williams, we will be sure to update you. – (Brandon)
– UPDATE (4:17 pm):
As just seen on @ESPNU, our 3 finalists: Trevone Boykin (TCU), Baker Mayfield (OU) & Deshaun Watson (Clemson)! pic.twitter.com/EdiYa02ds5

First!!!
Good job.
Hard to believe that Paul Thompson has kids taking official visits.
Not Paul…Charles’s son, brother of Kendall
I see. Thanks!
Paul would’ve had a 9 or 10 year old while in school if that were the case.
Got it! Thank you…
No he wouldn’t have. It’s 9 years since his Sr year. This kid is a class of ’18 guy (meaning he’s likely 15 or 16 right now). Paul Thompson is 32, so having a 15-16 year old son wouldn’t be out of the question.
So I was off by 2 years… WHO FREAKING CARES!?!?
BOOMERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOONERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is only ONE!
Jones & Thompson seem like real possibilities. Thanks TFB.
Velus would be sooooooooooo sweet.
Isn’t Williams twin brother an Oklahoma St. commit?
Yes he is…Would be a great rivalry.
Hope we land jones or Cleveland or both. Plus massey

Don’t forget Brandon Burton
I hope Casey redeems the family. Would be such an awesome story.
To say that Casey is the best of the 3 Thompsons is a mouth full. Charles was a very good Qb.
Okay…but I think you’re looking for a different analogy. 😀
Thanks again for the info, Brandon and Super K.
The queue is getting long for some excellent prospects and the small number of scholarships available this year.
My bro’crush on Sylvie grows daily. LOL!

ROTFLOL!
Priceless! This kid was born to be a Sooner.
This is exactly why I can’t stand Puke fans. There is nothing wrong with being a fan of any program, so long as you know who you are and who you are not. OU is at the top of the CFB lore. OSU is a program on the rise. Enjoy your recent success(-ish), Pukes, but stop superimposing your brand over the CFB pantheon. Until we get to the end of the century (assuming you remain relevant), you’re Okie Lite. Embrace the subordination.
#BedlamReckoning2015
On top of that, how long ago did Dez Bryant play there??? And he is a thug!
Can’t talk about Blackmon. He’s waiting tables at Chili’s.
OSU, where high school WR recruits go to learn how to be criminals.
OSU where criminals go to learn to be WR’s. FIFY> JHF
Wow. I didn’t think Chili’s would hire that sort….
Don’t order a drink from him and expect to get it… #jokes
He still made out with a couple million. Last time I heard anything the Jags were suing him for some of their money back.
Ah he didn’t pass bartender school i guess.
2011.. he’s a playmaker prima donna.
They are proud of their 1 of 5 of actual contributors in the nfl over the last 15 years.
As holiday would say(,its not revenge there after, its a reckoning)
You called the pokes out for Redemption.
They should also be called out for Salvation…

Thats just so wrong on so many levels
Eas Tex – that first pic was scary and the way the site format goes under that pic was “show more.” That gave me a chill and a little vomit in my mouth – don’t do that to me 🙂
So sorry, but some times the truth is ugly…especially when dealing with puke fans.
Thank you ET, I just wept worse than my 3 month old when she’s hungry after seeing that. Do they make bleach for your eyes?
I know what you mean. Gave me a shudder that anyone would think to make light of that sad period of our history.
What costume will their players be wearing Saturday night
I cannot wait for this kid to don the crimson & cream.
…wait on it…
Will these recruits go ahead and “silent commit” to TFB? We’ll be sure & keep it on the DL…
Of course. [runs to show everyone I have the Golden Ticket]
LOL! Someone posted this on FB and it is just hilarious!
hahahahahahaha lmfao
Velus Jones lists a 4.3 second forty, that’s acceptable
Right now on offense Jones and Cleveland are at the very top of my list ( ok and maybe also Tramonda ). Baylor just got another great WR commit. We really need to keep pace.
Coaching staff.
Coffee.
Closing.
Better happen.
great work TFB!! I love these OPs, especially when they are chalked full of good/great news. There’s still a lot that can happen between now and NSD but stuff like this makes it more exciting.
I guess I’ll be full of turkey later this week, but next week I will be hungry for BOOMS.
You will probably make some BOOMS when you fill up on Turkey. 🙂
Now, now – different things. I expect those booms to be all over apply named Stoolwater around 11:00 PM Saturday.
And no one will notice a thing. 🙂
No, they would all scream “nice aftershave!”
Good one!
EWWW
Last week I was talking about someone being hurt during the week but didnt get a chance to say who because I was travelling to Norman for the game. But Orlando has been battling a bad case of turf toe since Baylor but was able to play. However later in the game he was visually hurting a bit and limping.
What was the deal with Samia wearing the elbow brace? Never heard one word about it.
He hyper extended it in Baylor when Mixon stepped up on a chip block. Its 100% now just wearing it more for preventative measures now. You wont hear anything about Samia when it comes to injuries hes a pretty tough kid just gets treated and moves forward. Speaking of Mixon, Samaje and Bake are full go. Mixon is not.
Is Mixon his foot? They were stretching him out weird on the bench and it looked like how my wife stretches her foot when her plantar fasciitis is bugging her.
KJ will you clarify? Mixon out or could possibly be ready by Saturday?
Well….I can say that he was in a boot and crutches yesterday. But I dont know what the injury is exactly. Im hoping that its mostly a preventative move being early in the week.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the news KJ albeit not great news on Mixon.
Anytime, yes not good news. But still hoping since he was able to still play a few downs after the injury on Sat and its still early in the week.
That was my initial thought too. Under those circimstances the boot itself wouldnt overly worry me but on crutches as well doesnt sound all that promising. The bad part is that I think we might really need what Mixon brings to the table against OSU.
Have you seen baker at practice this week? And does it look like knight and Thomas are splitting reps or is knight still the back up?
It appeared Mixon hyperextended his right leg/ankle/calf/hammy when he landed after he was tackled after a nice gain. As he landed his right toes dug into the turf and you can/could see the shock to his leg.
Hyperextensions aren’t funny, even if they don’t cause long term damage. I hyperextended my right knee while whitewater canoeing. It hurt but it seemed fine, until I went to bed and it stiffened up. Swung out of bed the next morning and my leg disappeared from under me. Went to a physical therapist and said structurally I was fine, but that type of injury made my ligaments and muscles want to pull back after stretching.
He is young and healthy with the best resources available, sure hope he is good to go.
I hope he is too. He landed awkwardly and it looked like to me that it was a hip injury. I agree about that injury. It doesnt get as much attention imo because it doesnt have the word strain or tear in it is misleading.
I thought he wasn’t quite himself Saturday. Now it all makes sense. This is one of those things that lingers, too. I hope he can find a way to overcome. Ogbah is no joke on the rush.
Definitely, that kid is an impact DL. He should be good to go. The left side of the line struggled a but on Sat. Right side was solid but TCU had some good schemes as well. We cant afford for Orlando not to play. But we also cant afford the penalties either.
The dumb penalties are killers. The boys really need to keep their emotions in check (to a point) this Saturday. A lot gonna be going on. I hope they can rise above and just play ball.
Fabulous work as always, sir. I give it up to you every week for the great inside information you provide!
Thanks for the info – it would be cheap at twice the price. A question that might not fit here, but I don’t know where else to put it: What has happened with Jamal Danley? Some of us were thinking he would be key player on the OL even if not an immediate starter. Haven’t heard a peep about him.
He just hasnt developed as quickly as the starters. Samia coming in and setting the tone on how to come in as a first year player and start really threw some guys for a loop. Next year I hope more guys follow suit during camp and the offseason.
Good problem to have. Freshman bookend tackles sets up nicely for future years. I believe we will have some quality interior guys step up next year to make the O-line better than this one.
Samia busted his butt before arriving on campus. His Uncle worked him hard and he did the Crossfit training, also. Even then he said it didn’t prepare him for “Camp Smitty.”
The physical preparation was big obviously. But from what Im told, his mental preparation was intense too. Him and and his uncle had a plan set way before he got to Norman. It wasnt a Todd Marinovich type situation obviously. But the kid was well prepared mentally and physically coming in.
Correct, which is what I was alluding to with his Uncle working with him.
KJ – since you are an observer, do you think the young O-line having to go against a pretty darn good D-line has helped them reach this level? It makes sense to me, but I never see a practice and only hear what you and TFB tells me.
I am absolutely sold on that. Take again Samia for example. Having to play against and block Striker, Bond, Tapper day in day out forced him to get better in a hurry. When the line goes against the first time D its a battle everyday. In some ways Samias best teacher this year has been the studs hes gone against.
KJ, thanks.
I believe Samia and Alvarez gems no one knew about, especially Alvarez. That kid is awesome. Samia, can you see him in 3 years and 50lbs heavier?
I wish Alvarez was an inch and a half taller. He looks like he has almost maxed out his current frame. That would be crazy…Samia would be sitting at about 6 6 330 and a ton of experience. Im excited about our OL the next 2 years.
man seeing how Baylor’s d-line dominated Ok State gives me the warm and fuzzies about OUr guys. Theyre not beating up on bad d-lines, they’re actually dominating good d-lines
Another big Thank You for our friend hambone694.

Thanks! Not too many from Trevor, but a win is a win, and this one got us into the CFP talk.
The Puke offense is no joke and the defense can play. They are not going to hand it to the boys…they need to go in and take it. Looking back on all the games….the Sooners will have to play their best this day to bring home the win. They need the Baylor game attitude with the KSU game execution….
They punted 8 out of 9 drives against BU at home, with 3 BU TOs and still up to their last 2 possessions of the game only had 21 pts. Those last two OSU TDs were their last 2 possessions of the game–givemes, imo.
OSU’s D is a BIG joke, imo. TCU w/Boykin’s off day and no Dockson, and BU w/a 3rd string QB, both at home, and TT, all averaged about 700 yds per game. Teams move the ball AT WILL on OSU’s D.
I was doing a little research and found some funny stats.
Perine (2014) had no Heisman talk, yet let’s look at him vs. Derrick Henry (“runaway favorite” who put up super impressive numbers vs. Charleston Southern).
In 2004 AD rushed for 1,925 yards and did not win the Heisman, as a Freshman. That year Matt Leinart won the Heisman.
2015 and Henry would need 400 yards to match those numbers…
Mayfield has already put up better stats than Leinart that season, and isn’t even considered a top 3 at this point, according to most, even after putting up better numbers in half the playing time than Henry and Elliott, all while being concussed.
Mayfield (2015) vs. Leinart (2004)
Well, Henry plays in the sec. Insert sarcasm
Well, Henry plays in the sec. Insert sarcasm
Very good.
Refreshing to see some FACTS, something the espin crackerjack research staff could never find even if they wanted to, while espin talking heads create the story.
Can we start an online petition for KJ1123 to have his own section under “The Original Posters”?
I will gladly sign.
Watching a replay of the game. This was how close this play was to being the end of OU’s playoff run. Look at the space between Sanchez and the receiver in the endzone. Huge play by Parker.
Another view. We all knew how huge the play was, but it was literally just inches away from ending OU’s playoff run.
Very Derrick Strait ’00 OSU-ish to say the least. Hope the end result is the same.:)
“SOONER MAGIC”
To be fair, that receiver wasn’t Sanchez’s man, that was Parker’s. He left his man to force the throw.
To be fair, I didn’t state that he was Sanchez’s man. 😉
To be fair, I didn’t say you did 😉
To be fair, 3 would have dropped it anyway. Parker was just showboating.
To be fair, it seemed a bit unfair.
fair enough
Felt my heart started pounding just seeing that picture!
Jordan Evans was closing fast on Kohlhausen. Anyone else think he makes the tackle before the QB runs it in if Parker had stayed on his man?
Good thing he didn’t decide to throw it to the other guy who was running wide open behind Sanchez.
This week we don’t need Sanchez biting on the double move. Not easy scores.
Yeah, that sum bitch needs to get it together. those 2 picks should have been at least 3 or 4 last week. He almost cost us the game didn’t he. I hate him so much.
Aim for perfection.
Point the arrow at some other players, he’s a lot closer than most we have. Just tired of everyone all over his back.
I wonder if the quarterback had thrown high enuff to get over Parker if that would have allowed Sanchez to catch up. Throwing to other guy behind Sanchez would’ve been near impossible throw with Evans already having his hands on the quarterback. Just MHO
TFB…I need some help. I live in Green Cove springs FL. We have a kid here at clay high that is amazing. Last week against North Marion in the second round of the playoffs he ran for 497 rushing yards and also returned the opening kickoff 79 for a td. He’s a three star but deserves some more love. His name is Bilal ally. Please check him out. He’s 5-11 closer to 195 now but elusive as all hell. I’ll post a few videos later if I can figure it out. Jordan I’d like to here what you and some of the TFB recruiting guys think.
Any guesses as to the two deep on the oline next year? We lose a couple of starters in Darlington and Nila, but also lose some depth in Farniok and St. John.
Any word on guys like Ford, Hearn, Evans, or Paul?
LT – Brown – Evans
LG – Alvarez – Danley
C – Dalton – Alvarez/Wren
RG – Samia – Julious
RT – Frison – Mittermeier
Would be my projection at this time.
Bilal Ally, clay high, Green Cove springs. Fl
Bilal Ally, clay high, Green Cove springs. Fl
update added
So are there any updates on Mixon? Will Brooks give us something? or do we go to Ross on swing passes…?
Mixon should be fine. Came back into the game Saturday night and the ankle didn’t appear to be a problem.
I thought I read that he was wearing a boot and on crutches? Good news then.
I know the D coaches are happy with the rotation, but I see Walker making plays when he’s in there. Is there anyway to find out how many snaps Walker gets vis a vis Dimon or Wade/Romar
The 2016 conference schedule sure looks different from this year’s.

A Recent Memory: Bedlam…https://youtu.be/tpNZJdWNudo
So, where do we land tonight with the committee? At least 5th. Anything less shows a bias against us and the Big 12.
Im guessing
1.Clemson
2.Bama
3.Iowa
4.ND
*5.OU
*6.Mich St
Although and 6 might easily be the other way around.
Also Im not even so sure that they don’t put Ohio St ahead of us.
Watching the QBs from the Big 12, especially the three in the photos above, it occurs to me that even though the offensive lines have improved, having a quarterback like Mayfield or Boykin, who move so well, and are so elusive, is like having an extra one or two offensive linemen, because they buy time that others just don’t have. It’s a great luxury when your pass blockers are not fleet of foot.
I was at the game but did not see Dahu suited up anywhere on the sideline. May have overlooked him but is there maybe any news you can dig up?
Of course Finnebum would choose OSU to win.
Good, every bit of motivation helps. Not to mention the crow he’ll have to eat when it’s over.

Big drop for OSU.
Committee just stacked the deck for noted dame….. Stanford with two losses ranked ahead of okie lite…… I call BS
Just because they love Stanford ball and hate Big 12 ball. Plus, OSU just lost so it’s fresh.
3rd
Wow, surprised #3
BOOM!
3! Don’t. Eff. This. Up!
P.S. Joey Galloway is garbage!
He needs to be drug tested. Not only for his nonsensical rants, but it’s so over the top at times you wonder if he is going to punch rece davis.
Win and we’re in.
We gotta beat the pokes well….and for good measure ND loses.
I think ND goes down at Stanford.
I’ll actually be there for that one. And I WILL be wearing my Sooner gear in the stands.
Herbstreit giving OU love again. I never get when some Sooner fans dont like him
Good thing he is because no one else with him is loving us.
To avoid the appearance of espin/big10 bias, he has to balance out the weekly bizarre rants against OU by his fellow ohio state alum joey galloway
Perfect example of why it’s dumb to moan and complain every week. These things have a way of working themselves out. OU wouldn’t be #3 if the Committee was out to get us.
Im not so sure that they weren’t pressured into it some by all of the backlash theyve been getting over their OU/BIG 12 snubs.
But you aren’t certain that they were, either?
Still like 3 better than 4, especially with that bye week coming.
Thank Joel Klatt for that.
Sam, you are on to something and I like the smell of what you are cooking! Joel embarrassed the CFP committee and this is their atonement.
Whats up with Galloway.. come on.
Number 3! Hell yeah!
Nah. Win and in. Our win will be better than ND’s this weekend.
Reply fail.
Well they just put Stanford ahead of OSU so I dont know about that.
Either way, we should all be Stanford fans. It eliminates the Domers and I don’t think Stanford can jump us.
Someone on this espin panel does not like OU.
Ya think? 🙂
yeah, looking silly doing so
My guess is that he’ll be gone after this season. He’s been terrible and crybaby-like.
Mark May is still hanging around. And they hired Finebaum.
Someone smack Galloway silly please.
sounds like someone already did
probably the Dr at his birth.
well, he’s still acting like a baby
His argument against OU being 3 was stupid.
Enlighten me. I can’t watch right now and his illogical drivel may entertain me.
he almost cried
He needs to be drug tested. I thought he might punch rece davis or vice versa
He basically argued against OUs body of work and just focused on our 2nd half meltdown against TCU.
citing boykin being out hurt while conveniently omitting the fact that Baker went out for the 2nd half
Yep
Basically saying you can’t go from 7 to 3 after barely beating an injured TCU team, and that he would need to see more consistency for OU to jump to 3 over teams that were ranked ahead of them the previous week.
He also got Tennessee mixed up with West Virginia about 2 or 3 times.
He must have been choking on something I can’t mention here. 🙂
Thanks to everyone for jumping in and updating me. Sounds like his ridiculous arguments during the post game shows. I love the TCU was injured argument, as if we were completely healthy and they hadn’t been dealing with injuries for multiple weeks and winning.
I still dont get why Bama is getting a totally free ride. Clear bias there.
BEAT THE FERTILIZER OUT OF THE PUKES!!!
C’mon down all you stud recruits sittin’ on the fence.
The queue is long, the slots are few.
exactly
Very happy we are getting love for the tough final stretch. Hope TCU wins and stays ranked. We are exactly where we need to be. Stay focused Sooners!
wouldn’t it be better for OU if Baylor were to win?
Not sure it matters either way. BU wins and we have a win over a top 10 team. TCU wins and we have one more ranked victory. I think we just have to control the game Saturday and we should be ok.
Nobody has been more impressive than us the last couple of weeks. Even with our offensive leader out.. our defense stepped up. Thats what champions do…..one more to go.
One more.
Woohoo
Numero Tres
OU basketball on Dish ch 448 at 7pm
Team should be even more focused now.
I dont hate Jeff Long quite as much this week as I did last week.
Exactly.
Agreed.
Please defense – hold up strong for one more week vs Pukes. I hope Sooners come out as fired up as they’ve ever been.
Please defense – hold up strong for three more games….
#3 baby!!
If we are honest among ourselves all the talk about being disrespected by CFP committee seems to be quite the over reaction. But at the end of the day, I’ll take it. We have the clear path and there is one game in front of the goal. Let’s roll.
The over reaction was to their absurd statements, such as Ohio State had yet to play their best football, Stanford lost because of the time zone, Iowa is more balanced, etc.
Finally it was revealed that OU is 5-0 v. Top40 and none of the other contenders come close to matching that. This seemed to get the committee finally focused and overwhelms the nonsense we have been hearing the past couple of weeks.
And the committee could still screw us. I’m not going to be comfortable until after the first weekend in December.
Wouldn’t it be great if Clemson, Bama, Iowa and ND all lost between now and then?
I actually like how it worked out (so far) that 4 of the 5 conferences are represented this week.
The Sooner’s mission is clear, they have something they have sought through many pains and travails that the pokes want to take from them and they must fight once more to protect it…
http://media.riffsy.com/images/51b7cab56834f4b1213527b8be7ac3d5/raw
That brick wall that Baker said he’d run through for his team now sports an osu logo.
We always seem to give okie state exactly what they live for year after year…..the spoiler role. 🙂
We have ruined it for them a few times in recent years, too. Which were immensely satisfying.
No matter what happens Saturday, this season has been very satisfying to me. I will watch the game knowing I’ve received more than my share of happiness.
BOOMER!!
Exactly. We have been blessed in that Bob got his program back to the point where his recruiting should take a big jump the rest of 2016 and 2017.
If the seedings stay the same until playoff time, with us being #3 and Bama being #2, knowing that #2 plays #3, would it be possible to have the game relocated to the Sugar Bowl?
Where is it scheduled now?
May be Dallas but don’t hold me to that.
Either the Cotton Bowl or the Orange Bowl. Not sure of the pairings/location for each, but those are the venues for the semis.
Either Dallas or Miami. If Clemson is #1, they will play in Miami.
Thought I heard that Dallas was too close for OU to play
Theres no other option. #1 team gets their pick of venue
Correct. Clemson as #1 goes to Orange so that trumps everything else.
Not sure who I copied this from, but thank you.
OU vs osu, biggest difference between last year and this year:
Cody Thomas 10/17 120 yds 1 TD 0 Int QB Rating 36.2
I know some are excited that ou is #3 and notre dame is #6 but Long said there isn’t much space between 3 and 6. Iowa or msu is guaranteed one loss, notre dame is playing the higher ranked opponent this week on the road (and traveling 2 time zones).
The good news is we will know next Tuesday where we stand in relation to notre dame they can’t jump us after next week.
Bama fans must be thrilled with the new rankings.
https://coedbc.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/bamarednecks-23.jpg?quality=88&strip=all&w=656
Those aren’t Bama fans. She shaved her pits.
I think they were chafed away.
Awesome reply!
Ewwwwww
I wish I hadn’t clicked to view……. Now I have to rinse my eyes with paint thinner.
Forget the playoff rankings.
Win Saturday.
Won’t mean a thing if we don’t take care of business Saturday
Yep. It’s a one game season in my opinion.
In the words of somebody that I don’t know “JUST WIN BABY”
