    here we go

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops says he felt good about how the team played in all phases of the game vs. Tech

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Off. Players of the Game: Samaje Perine, Joe Mixon, offensive line starters and Dimitri Flowers.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops says Devante Bond, Stanvon Taylor and Jordan Evans will “move around” today during practice to get an idea as to whether or not they’ll be able to go on Saturday.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops says Marcus Green should also be back practicing today.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Zack Sanchez out vs. Kansas, Stoops is hopeful he’ll be back after that.

    • Jofield says:

      “Stoops is hopeful he’ll be back after that”.
      Man that’s Stoops-speak for saying he is practically on life support. I didn’t know it was that bad.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops says “we’ll see” w/ regards to Dakota Austin starting again this week, but based on this past game he wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case.

  • Chris White says:

    Just like this picture of Samia, I think we have two more NFL bound/All American tackles on our hands

  • Jordan Esco says:

    I’m sure you’ll be amazed to hear this KU game isn’t exactly a topic of focus from those in attendance asking the ?s

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops says the offense running tempo has helped the running game.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Stoops doesn’t appear to care that we as fans all want Mark Andrews to be more involved in the offense 🙂

    • Doobie74OU says:

      SHOCKING! lol!

    • soonersd says:

      You can count me in as one of the many who would love to see Andrews more involved in the offense. Having said that, I got to thinking after another wide open catch in the end zone that may be his lack of involvement throughout the game is what is leading to him being left unaccounted for in the red zone. Air raid offense with a young Oline can typically have some red zone struggles. Perhaps this is Riley’s way of countering that? Just a thought… what do i know?

  • Jordan Esco says:

    When you score 63 and guys are complaining about who’s getting the ball, that’s good. It’s back to the way it used to be. – Stoops

    • SoonerOracle737 says:

      That’s funny! I don’t care who you are. True enough.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Here we go w/ media asking why Mixon was on Stoops’ show last night

  • Jordan Esco says:

    OU student reporter: Are we going to get to talk to him any time soon?
    Stoops: Nah, probably not.
    *edit: sorry, this was regarding Mixon (for context)

  • Jordan Esco says:

    I need someone to help me understand why Al Eschbach is at these things. He isn’t a journalist, he’s not looking for quotes to write a story, he doesn’t talk about the presser on his terrible radio show. Why is he there, let alone asking multiple questions?

    • KJ1123 says:

      Is that the guy with the shakey voice?

    • Kevin Burger says:

      To remind everyone else there asking questions the quality of the circles they run in.

    • Boom says:

      Al being Al. Wants the attention, and to make sure all the folks who’s listened to him over the years knows he there.

    • DCinAZ says:

      Because he’s an OU program fixture. Only real reason….

      • Jordan Esco says:

        He is? For what reason, being around? He doesn’t cover OU for any outlet and hasn’t in what, two or three decades?

        • BoomerDave says:

          Seriously? Three decades?? Get real. Over 50% of the talk on his 4 hours of radio each day is about OU football. He has every right and reason to be there.

          • Soonerfan24 says:

            uhhhhh

          • rphokc says:

            yrs ago, al was the source for everything ou, but listening to him now is sad in comparison……….he’s an old guy now with great stories but nothing on info except some occasional tidbits being buds with mstoops…….callers ask questions and he’s idk quite frequently……yeah, he deserves to be at the pressers but wish he would do something with his time there

          • Herman Bubbert says:

            I grew up with Al as the only source of OU daily information on KTOK back in the 1970s. Actually won an autographed team football from him back in 1976, before that kind of thing became demonized by the program.
            It’s just sad to listen to him now. He’s totally uninformed, irrelevant and a shell of his former self. Hasn’t been relevant since WWLS went shock with the sale from John Fox. The radio equivalent of watching Willie Mays flail around in center field for the New York mets.

          • rphokc says:

            yeah, ktok sports talk in the afternoon……….glued to the radio during recruiting b/c al knew all………….it is sad now, but he’s gold for stories…….last week he was telling stories about howard and beverly schnellenberger and I was lmao

          • Herman Bubbert says:

            Yeah, he’s kind of on the Bob Barry Sr. plan now – stories.

          • JB says:

            The last time I heard his radio show was about a year ago and someone called to ask him about a player. Al gave the same canned answer he’s been giving since (at least) 1992: “The coaches think he has a chance to be really, really good.” I don’t see that much has changed. Basically, he doesn’t know anything, so he doesn’t have anything to share.

        • JB says:

          I think DC meant he’s literally a light fixture. Put a light bulb in his mouth and it would increase the amount of light in the room! That would also put his mouth to good use for once.

    • JB says:

      Because he was a star football player at OU once. Oh wait, no he wasn’t. He was too tiny to make waterboy.

      I think this should be added as one of the wonders of the world because no amount of logic could explain his presence at the pressers or any anyone would call his radio show. It makes NO sense.

    • Ash Jones says:

      He frequently goes to Thailand for vacations. Read into that as you may. It is my understanding he ran into someone from the OU administration there, in a compromising position, so to speak. Blackmail perhaps? 🙂

    • rphokc says:

      enlighten us……….could you, for fun, supply a list of his questions sometime….thxs

    • Brad Warren says:

      Why does that bother you? He’s been talking about and covering OU for as long as many of us have been alive. He can do whatever he wants with OU as far as I’m concerned.

      • Jordan Esco says:

        Who said it bothers me? I find it curious, so I asked if anyone could explain to me how it makes any sense. Just b/c someone has been doing something a long time doesn’t (1) mean they’re any good at it and/or (2) should be given an eternal pass to keep doing so.

        • Brad Warren says:

          That’s fair. Just to see if I can get an answer with any substance pertaining to your ?, I’ll call into his show one evening this week and ask him. I will let you know what he says.

    • Brad Warren says:

      Please spare us the butthurt of why is AL there……Lol. Just messing with you.

    • Cush Creekmont says:

      At one time, Eschbach taught a “journalism” class at OU. That is the only reason I can think of for him being included. Either that or someone wants the Big 12 to have a reporter whose looks can compete with Finebaum’s.

  • Jordan Esco says:

    Feisty Stoops!

  • Jordan Esco says:

    that’s a wrap

  • Dustin says:

    Carey looks disgustingly fat today.

  • Jeremy Phillips says:

    The media totally pussed out.. They let the kid ask the first 2 Mixon questions..

  • Chris White says:

    The media really believe we are all sitting at home and screaming for them to get the chance to grill Mixon? Come on.

  • Golfluvr13 says:

    Hmm, interesting. Stoops did NOT start the presser saying congrats to Tech on their effort and they played a good game. He just jumps right in to the presser.

    • jimintexas says:

      I don’t know if there is something there or not. They did not do the normal “gracious host” thing, by playing the TT fight song. I just thought it was homecoming time thing. It was last like OU was not even acknowledging TT in any way. Maybe nothing there. But just seemed a bit different.

    • Exiled In Ohio says:

      He did not mention them in the post-game either. Definitely not a coincidence; he has issues with them. If nothing else, he probably isn’t happy with the way they treated Baker.

    • Hunter Frantz says:

      many in the BIG 12 agree, TTech is not well thought of

    • Lesslie Stanford says:

      Out of pure curiosity I wonder if that got cut in favor of the moment of silence for Stillwater?

    • soonermusic says:

      I’m really late getting to the presser and I was gonna point this out as well. Same deal with the post game presser as well as the Monday one. This is not an oversight. I would assume that Bob is still not happy about the non release of Baker. This is an easy way for him to get in a dig without appearing to do so.

      Not sure about the Mike Leach exit being involved. If he’s done the same thing every year, then that’s probably it, but if he’s done the usual in years past, then it’s about the Baker release, I’d say, having noticed him commenting on that recently–or something else none of us know about.

  • Jeremy Phillips says:

    ESPN radio bumper just said Seth Russell likely out for the rest of the regular season…

    • Soonerfan24 says:

      Yeah, I’ve heard that as well

      • JB says:

        If I heard correctly, he had a cervical spine fracture (vertebral body compression fracture would be my guess). That’s a serious injury, and it takes 6-8 weeks for a broken bone to heal. So, yeah, I’d think his season was finished.

        • CKill1 says:

          Broken facet joint bone. He’s having surgery and is done for the year. Feel for the young man. He is a helluva football player.

  • Jeremy Phillips says:

    BOOM! Ashton Julius just committed to OU!
