    Thanks Jordan! Okay, stretch run! BOOMER……………..

  • Johnny Greenlantern Otis says:

    sucks to see calvin go man but at least he went out on his terms

  • cdzendolet says:

    Boomer Sooner! Looking forward to all of the craziness surrounding NSD.

  • BR says:

    Good Lord I’m gonna miss Sterling!

  • DR LEO MARVIN says:

    Good Highlight footage.

  • SoonerMagic76 says:

    Good morning Sooners! Fun game on Saturday. Not very enjoyable first half but that last 10 minutes was just awesome. And with how much I hate LSU, I enjoy beating them at anything

    • John Garner says:

      Beating them on their home court, on national TV while watching Simmons disappear in the 2nd half was especially enjoyable.

  • SoonerMagic76 says:

    Some good recruiting things yesterday, let’s close out recruitment strong this week!

  • AltoidSooner says:

    Good Morning! Feeling like a big week of BOOMS ahead! Great to see those crawdad eating Louisiana hillbillies go down Saturday. OU Men’s basketball has a legit final 4 squad.

    • John Garner says:

      Maybe an NC if the bench can heat up during the tournament.

      • Stephen Dale says:

        BINGO!!!!! while there is still time for the ‘bench’ to be an asset, the ‘bench’ has been a disappointment so far….makes one wonder about next season when Cousins, Spangler, Hield, and Woodard ( if he leaves early) are gone….its time for buford, james, odomes, manyang to carry some of the load.

  • Jim Casy says:

    started using firefox…anybody know whats up with not being about to see embedded tweets as they would normally look?

    • SoonerOracle737 says:

      They don’t display unless you refresh the web page.

      • Jim Casy says:

        meh. still doesn’t work, yet I can go to twitter.com and see tweets like they are supposed to look. I must have something disabled. got other browsers I guess I can use. IE has it’s own issues about security and makes me reload even though i list this as a trusted site. Hate Chrome. Microsoft Edge that comes with 10 is a joke.
        I’ll figure it out sooner or later.
        Thanks.

        • Jim Casy says:

          Had to turn off tracking protection. No biggie. Just enable it for this spot.

          • SoonerOracle737 says:

            Cell phone browsers are a bit different than PC browsers. Didn’t know that you were talking about a cell phone.

          • Jim Casy says:

            It’s a PC browser. I usually have security to the max. I figured it was something to do with it, just didn’t know what. Just a simple click on the tool bar fixed it.

          • Jim Casy says:

  • John Garner says:

    Good morning Brainiacs. Anyway you guys can confirm Youngquist’s status? He’s one of the big dawgs in this class. I think we’d all be bummed if the rumors are true and he can no longer play.

    • Jordan Esco says:

      No reason not to believe what’s out there at this point. Hopefully the player and/or OU will offer some specifics at some point, but until then we’re not really looking to encroach on the privacy we feel he deserves.

      • John Garner says:

        Thanx for the reply Jordan. Saw Bryce’s tweeter thingy, so I understand your concerns. Just wanted some clarification and got it. He states pretty emphatically that he is still an OU commit. That’s all I need to know.

  • SoonerOracle737 says:

    Wow. Buddy got some love on Twitter. Well deserved too.

  • 47 Straight OU Know says:

    Good Monday morning fellow Brainiac’s. Should be a good week for rumors and speculations and a few ledge walkers. But hey you know me “It is always a great day to be a SOONER” So i will just sit back and watch the insanity unfold.

  • Zack says:

    My prediction for today is 2 commitments. One is Mark Jackson and the other is a guy I’m hearing rumblings about and his name may be mentioned in the open post today.

  • Gary Robbins says:

    Percentages anyone?
    1. Mark Jackson
    2. Caleb Kelly
    3. Jared Mayden
    4.Maxs Tupai
    5. Riley Cole
    6. Chris Daniels
    7. Marcel Southall
    8. Tramonda Moore
    9. Joshua Jacobs
    10. Mykel Jones
    11. Parrish Cobb

    • SoonerfanTU says:

      I’m greedy, I want most from that list.

      Hoping we land Kelly, Mayden, Tupai, Jones, and keep Cobb. Losing Cobb wouldn’t hurt nearly as much if we landed Mayden though.

      After landing the kid from up north, I don’t really care if we get Moore or not. Jackson would be nice, but my preference would be Tupai over him. Also be nice to land one of those DT’s. I’d like Jacobs too, but would trade him for Jones if its one or the other.

      Not percentages, but man, we’re still in on a lot of talented players.

    • brainpimp says:

      100% on all of them.

    • Jim Casy says:

      Not a scout…just done some looking. All speculation.

      Jackson—UT vs OU 50/50 If he goes to that aggy mess he’s not worth having anyway.
      Kelly–ND
      Mayden–OU
      Tupai—No.
      Cole–offer might be an indicator about what is to come about Kelley?
      Daniels–OU/UT I think we are gaining back some ground (hope)
      Southall–clueless–been a long time since I last heard that name.
      Moore—qualify plus pokes
      Jacobs–I don’t think here, but something unexpected
      Mykel Jones–just found out, clueless
      Cobb—don’t trust Briles a bit 60/40 Sooners

    • Tony B says:

      Purely gut instinct and from watching a few other recruiting sites:
      1. Mark Jackson – 70%
      2. Caleb Kelly – 75%
      3. Jared Mayden – 60% I think OU benefitted greatly getting him on campus last.
      4.Maxs Tupai – 33%
      5. Riley Cole – 50% This one is a strange one
      6. Chris Daniels – 40% (I have a feeling Texsa got him)
      7. Marcel Southall – 60%
      8. Tramonda Moore – 40% (too much love on twitter for Pokes from him)
      9. Joshua Jacobs – 33% If he didn’t jump on OU when offered I think he’s gone.
      10. Mykel Jones – 70% Purely gut instinct but getting him on campus was huge and a shock to all outside of the coaches, I’m sure.
      11. Parrish Cobb – 50% Just have a not so strong feeling about him anymore

    • rainydaze114 says:

      Isn’t Jones a 2017 guy?

    • Malicong says:

      Jackson – 70% He knows he fits OU’s scheme perfectly
      Kelly – 80% I personally think the ND drama is being overplayed
      Mayden – 70% Heard nothing but good things
      Tupai – 30%
      Cole – not enough info
      Daniels – 40%
      Southall – 70%
      Moore – 20% I don’t think he is qualifying anyway
      Jacobs – 10%
      Jones – not enough info
      Cobb – 60%

    • Stephen Dale says:

      Southall is probably the best bet followed by ? …..its possible OU signs only Southall off this list. It is also possible OU also gets Kelly, Jackson, and M Jones along with Southall………………………………….Mayden to Alabama, Tupai to Utah, Daniels to Texas, Moore to OSU, J Jacobs to Mizzou, Cobb to Baylor, R Cole to ? , Mark Jackson to aTm, Kelly to ND, and with Southall & M Jones to OU——my current picks per the list provided.

  • Nate Broadus says:

    Baylor’s response to the sexual assaults has been nothing short of shameful. I wouldn’t cast an evil eye on every person that ever attended Baylor. However, if I attended Baylor, I would be ashamed of how they’ve mishandled the situation, at best. Completely f’ed it up, at worst.

    • Jim Casy says:

      Things happen at colleges that might be a rape, might be a misunderstanding with booze or whatever. Not good….but, BUT
      A freaking football serial rapist with 7 victims, most ignored or shooed off???? Crazy.

    • Stephen Dale says:

      many of the Baylor coeds attended falls creek as young teenagers. what they encounter in Waco probably brings back memories.

      • Zack says:

        The falls creek stuff is a myth. Please anyone here who knows otherwise please speak up. None of that stuff went on within the 2 different churches I stayed with there.

        • Stephen Dale says:

          you must have missed the used condoms that were prevalent around the grounds back in the day…..I haven’t been back in years so maybe that activity has ceased ( yeah, right ! )…..when you put impressionable young girls around horny teen boys and sometimes vice versa……………….

        • Mr. Jones says:

          I’ve been about 10 different times as an adult and a kid, with 3 churches and have never experienced that. Have also walked all over those grounds and have never seen condoms ect.

  • Bill Duncan says:

    I don’t remember a more fun weekend in recent memory… OU downs LSU and Buddy looks great. 3 Commits in a weekend. Makes a Monday feel like a Friday

  • Johnny Greenlantern Otis says:

    OP is gonna be on fire today. great weekend finally hahah great to get so many updates instead of the downdates but WED is the day and its gonna be alot of ups and downs and surprises im sure and with kelly being one of the last to announce its gonna be a long day

      Boom-a-thon!

  • SoonerMagic76 says:

    OP is up

  • Oscar says:

    I expect the Sooners to have a grand climax to recruiting with some power commits! Buddy is the king of college basketball this year. It’s great to have the exposure for the program. Thank you Lon! Men’s and Women’s gymnastics teams are rockin! So many good programs in the athletic department. Wrestling is REALLY disapointing me.

    • DrewChubbs says:

      Softball ought to be pretty alright this year, too.

      • Stephen Dale says:

        yeah, some of those softball cuties are pretty good athletes. a couple of the true frosh should contribute, too.

    • Stephen Dale says:

      Oscar : several would probably experience a ‘grand climax’ if ‘some power commits’ step aboard………….

  • j l says:

    Those are some huge names throwing buddy some praise. He deserves it, amazing young man and player.

  • Thomas Lenard says:

    I’m not big on “ESPN – SEC Homerism” but when you open an article featuring SEC Vs Big XII with these comments:

    Who won the Big 12-SEC Challenge?
    It depends on what you mean by “won”?
    Officially, the Big 12 was the big winner, as its predictable 7-3 victory was stamped late Saturday night Lawrence, Kansas, scored to the sacred Allen Fieldhouse rite of “Rock Chalk.”
    Unofficially? No one — well, no one outside the league offices, anyway — actually cares.

    I would say their homerism is showing in over-aboundance.
