While its conclusion marks the start of a very long summer with no college football, the annual Red/White game is also the first, last, and really only chance OU fans get to see the team prior to the regular season.
So while it’s hard not to get excited, it’s also important to approach this rationally and take it for what it is, a glorified practice. Jobs are rarely, if ever, won based solely on the spring game. That is not to say there is nothing to glean today, but I’d probably refrain from making any bold proclamations come Sunday morning.
All that said………IT’S FOOTBALL TIME ONCE AGAIN IN OKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know K is going to have a wknd open post up later, but I’m going to update this post (in the comments) w/ all things Red/White game related (i.e. mainly tweets from recruits).
Thanx!! Will check back regularly on the tweets. The list of attendees is amazing.
I may be a lil late to the party but do u guys have a list of visitors besides the ones who’ve tweeted?
Check yesterday’s daily news comments, I believe there is one in there.
Found it…thanks

Heard this guy was excited about the UT offer, how serious is he about the horns? I like the picture but know these kinds of pictures can be meaningless.

Finally!
Love how these guys already hate Texas! Boomer!
Sooner!!
Can’t wait to see how fast the defense moves to the ball and what kind of rush they get.
The field looks awesome. I wish I was there! 🙁
It’s about time.
As long as there are no injuries, it’ll be all good!!!!!!!!
I’m sure many people have asked this but is there any way to view the game online at all? Any help would be appreciated.
I’m looking for some links, but Idk if there will be any since it’s a spring game. If I can find the Tech game online which is about to start, than I can probably find the OU spring game.
Yeah I’m looking at the same thing. I’ll let you know if I have any success
Try http://msn.foxsports.com/southwest and if that don’t work try http://www.usagoals.tv/live-tv/600/1/fox-sports-live-streaming/
Jordan, do we have confirmation that Fehoko made into town for the game?
He isn’t going to make it to Norman
Made it all the way to that state south of the Red but couldn’t make it up to God’s country? That sucks. 🙁

Does anyone have a link to a live stream of the game? I’m in NC and don’t get Fox Sports SW or Fox College Sports Central.
I looked for well over an hour and didn’t find anything, unfortunately. Hopefully someone will find something for you guys!
Yah, I searched all the regular streaming sites without any luck. Might just have to wait until the game is uploaded to YouTube
They’ll be uploading highlights, as well, I believe.
BOOMER
Sooner!

Jordan, you’re the man! All these tweeter feeds are awesome. Little snapshots of something special. Wish I could be there. Thanx!!
Happy to help
As I expected, don’t expect to see much of Trevor Knight today. Word out of Norman is that he’ll be used sparingly.
https://twitter.com/jasonkersey/status/455056363870502913
I don’t think Shannon is playing today either, fwiw.

Let’s get this game started!
Any streams available?
https://twitter.com/BigBallin28/status/455058424946900992
Cue a certain portion of OU fans freaking out about Trevor Knight in 3….2….1….
You trying to bait me?!! LOL!!! Learned my lesson last year!!
We’re screwed! Season over!
Knight is terrible, one game hype! ;0
is it on any radio stations?
Dimitri Flowers 😀
Hello, Jordan Evans!
Nice hit!
Probably the only INT Jordan Wade will ever get
Nice little run from Daniel Brooks, dude can scoot
Brooks is fast!
Hey, a TE touchdown catch!
Bond with a little mental breakdown there.
Dimitri again
Flowers looks a lot like Millard
Man, Ross is yoked. He looks like a beast!
KJ Young taking some hard hits
Evans getting really deep on that drop.
Moneycutt
Secondary knows these routes as well as the receivers.
Nice play by walk-on Lagrone!
Mayfield gets in before Hansen, kinda odd
Is it possible for OU to appeal Mayfield losing a year of eligibility?
Word is, he may be a serious contender next year. Looks composed.
Mayfield not looking too bad. Wow!
And yet TK is still in…
Bird – Free
Thomas – Strong
Hayes – nickel
Baker is looking pretty good…
Fo Sho
Touchdown TE!
Another tight end TD, maybe they weren’t just blowing smoke about getting them involved again w/ the offense.
Love it!
About time!
If you guys read our practice reports, Mayfield spinning it shouldn’t come as a surprise 😉
A lot of people were cracking jokes when he decided to transfer to OU but he’s looking very valuable.
I mean……I’m just sayin’
https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/ou-oklahoma-sooners-football-2014-red-white-game
Quit showing off! 🙂
Only because of yall’s DeLorean!
Lucky for us, you are humble!!
Crikey, Mate. You got some inside or just goin’ by what you read over at Insider? LoL You nailed it!
Nice strike from Hansen, easy throw but still
They’re picking on that walk on LB
Defense is going to kill someone!
Thaddeus w/ the big shot
Nice little one had grab from Bennett for the TD, good placement from Hansen on the throw as well.
Real nice touch by Hansen
D is handing out whoop ass tickets this fall.
https://twitter.com/ItsQuicker/status/455069059118141441
Nice turnout
Both sides of the ball looking capable at times.
Nice stick from Ahmad Thomas
Woods better get some advil
TK is playing a LOT to what at least I was expecting
I agree
I’m assuming it has, at least in part, something to do w/ his slow start.
Wondering the same
razzle dazzle!
Nice to see lots of the pros come back to hang out….can’t hurt recruiting. 🙂
You betcha! Remember AD prowling the sideline at the Sugar bowl? Do ya think these young recruits didn’t notice the best running back in the NFL rooting OU on to a good old fashioned whipping of Alabama? It counts for a lot in these kids eyes…
Uh oh, hope Grissom is fine.
Grissom down, but now walking off under his own power
Am I the only one who is worried about grissom
Jordan Evans is having a great day.
because he’s a boss
yep. He looks absolutely tremendous.
$$$$$$$$$$$
So refreshing to have a great Kicker.
All the parts are coming together!
Those dorms are nice! 0_o
A LIVING ROOM? A kitchen? OMG Trevor has it sweet. Nicest dorm room I have ever seen by far!
Sorry guys, can’t hang with the cumbersome comments section. Gotta fix that. It is that bad.
What seems to be the problem?
Yea I’ve tried sorting. It’s when there is a reply to somebody that it gets buried in the thread. need a “Next unread” Spent more time looking at comtuter screen than TV screen…
Just sort it however you like it…top right where it says “sort by…”
It can happen when you have more than 10 of them 😉
How’s the mood on the field/stands? More buzz ?!
Tim Settle in Stoops’ office. http://instagram.com/p/ms-m2stGN0/#
nice!
https://twitter.com/tim_settle/status/455076301809139712
Striker!
43,000 announced attendance, solid.
More than I even hoped for!
Wade just obliterated the pocket there
that was pretty
And they’ve gone w/ a running clock. Bob wants this thing to be over.
Nice
There’s Smallwood. Stanvon kinda got lost on that one.
Designed back shoulder throw, but it still shouldn’t be that easy.
Time for beer and BBQ after a nice showing from our Sooners.
Mayfield is taking somebodies job next year.
Too bad he’s not eligible. Thanx Kliff!!
I imagine Trevor Knight would look pretty decent running against 2’s as well.
Greatness

Jeezus, Striker
Bond and Obo meet at the QB, gotta love seeing that
Where’s Ross been?
Back in now, nice timing. Lol
Either the offense is a little behind or our defense has gotten is groove back in a big way.
D always dominates these things, they see the plays every day.
Yeah, Mark Clayton mentioned on OU Football twitter that the defense is usually good earlier. I’d be more worried if they weren’t.
https://twitter.com/GeorgeSchroeder/status/455082689339858945
Oh, man. Why does it have to be Flowers?
Getting Sloppy
Brooks is having a great day, as well. Nice to see him get some recognition.
Edit: I jinxed him.
Until that swing pass LOL!
Ahem, called it 😉
right place, right time for Obo
https://twitter.com/LineKing71/status/455085914700517376
Nice to see Aaron Franklin make a play. Horrible decision w/ the ball by Hansen tho.
It ain’t high school!
https://twitter.com/kp_projectt/status/455087104226127872
Will post an update here if Bob gives one on Grissom and/or Flowers
Carey Murdock @CareyWWLS
Grissom sprained MCL and Flowers a hyper extended knee according to Stoops.
Time to rewatch it over and over again until September.
Just curious, will there be stats posted on the brainiacs website or anywhere else?
OT but the OU Softball outfield making some nice catches right now.
Last time we heard “dealing with personal issues” resulted in a car jacking incident with metoyer
Is it just me or did Mayfield look like our best QB?
Mayfield definitely had the best day, but doesn’t mean too much for Knight, I would imagine. Just a spring game. It’s too bad Mayfield can’t play this year, though.
I don’t understand how a kid who has never been on scholarship, paid his way at Tech and now OU and has to sit out a year and lose a year. Can understand a scholarship player who transfers, but this kid is paying with his own Nichol. Doesn’t seem anywhere close to right.
Agreed. It’s ridiculous.
Tech screwed him
By the stats, easily.
It didn’t look like Mayfield was playing against the 1’s?
Not just you but it was only one day under other than normal conditions.
14 straight wins for OU softball, by the way. I enjoy beating Baylor now, even in Softball.
Was a great game. Got to see some of it.
OU Qb’s: http://youtu.be/89Xcc1PRjLE
The spring game was pretty awesome today!
I am going to say it….. If Mayfield was elgible next season we would have a QB race this summer. Knight was off in terms of accuracy. Mayfield’s passes looked better and he seemed to have a better idea of what the receiver was going to to do than Knight did – TK and the WRs looked really out of sync.
I wouldn’t read too much into it, wait until the actual football begins.
Agreed. Knight went against one of the best D’s in the country (you’ll remember what they did to some of the best QBs last year and their throwing %’s). Not to mention his throws weren’t that off, it was just excellent coverage.
There certainly weren’t any Landry type throws.
