You may want to check your rear view mirror. 🙂
I win
First Boomer!!!!!!!!!!1
WRONG!!!!!!!
You should try my new book Baby Steps. You came in second just like on the motocross track. My book will help you regain 1st place.
Hope this makes you feel better.
F Taco tech. They are no threat to OU. The coach is a douche. OU won’t lose to them until Baker graduates if then.
I live in Lubbock if Tech makes a bowl game they think they are the greatest team on the planet.
Truth. I’ve got family there that worships anything red raider, all tech grads. If they get mouthy I say “Baker, Baker, Touchdown Maker” and just laugh and laugh and laugh.
I used to like Tech, kind of. Not so much, since Tuberville. Even less with the current group of coaches after the way they screwed Mayfield.
I like Leach. Tech just happened to be the place he was at for a time. After all the success he brought them, they screwed him around and pushed him out the door. They deserve whatever mediocrity they get.
They were on the cusp of a Natty. Leach nearly willed them to a championship.
Leach is special..weird, but a really good coach.
That’s part of what I like about Leach he is not some carbon copy of a coach from television or the movies. He has his own personality. He reminds me of Switzer in that way.
Anyone who wants to be a pirate, is ok by me matey. Argh
Then I guess on Google you changed your language to ‘pirate’.
I’m slow today Bob, you’ll have to explain that one to me. Must be the rain, I’m still in your neck of the woods.
On google you can set your language to ‘pirate.’ Then all of their pages use pirate speak.
https://www.google.com/?hl=xx-pirate
That’s cool Bob, didn’t know about that, fun stuff!
yep.
I like Tech better than texsa and baylor. Simply because they usually know there place and stay there. But if tech ever had a taste of the bears success they would probably be even more obnoxious.
for sure…..with TT’s mediocrity, will KK coachthere much longer ? . I suspect there is a lot of heat on him to improve the W / L record or else…It wouldn’t be a surprise if KK’s treatment of Mayfield hasn’t negatively impacted TT’s recruiting…..
You guys are early this morning!
That snowboard girl needs a rear view mirror!!!
The turtles look cool.
No, if she would have saw that bear she would have freaked out and fallen. Lucky she hit that steep part and got up some speed at the right time.
I can’t wait for Game of Thrones.
Morning, TFBers. I think today will be a great day.
Mornin,Sam.
Morning, Metzker!
Good morning good sir!
Morning!
How’s the married life?
Going great! I thought it would feel really different, but it’s honestly felt pretty natural so far. No major disputes or anything, so that’s a plus. And on Sunday night I had a wonderful home cooked meal waiting when I got home. It was great.
Sounds great. The thing I had to adjust to was saying “my wife” during introductions.
Yeah that’s definitely a different feel. I’m also 23 and about the only married guy among my friends, so that’s different too
You’ll find you will drift in and out of circles that “feed” you what you desire. Don’t be surprised if you have new friends in the coming years. You and your wife will naturally gravitate to married couples, couples with kids, couples who’s kids play the same sports as yours. You can still keep your single friends but you won’t need them the way you used to.
Yeah I can definitely see all of that evolving over the next few years
yep …….interesting how interests & priorities change with a wife & children.
Yeah, before you know it you’re a bitter old fart who bitches about everything.
LOL
Gonna be an exciting season on GOT!! I just want Jon Snow back.. Spoiler alert
What do you know?
Last year a TFBer told another TFBer “you know nothing.” About five posters immediately said “Jon Snow.”
I’ve just watched Easter egg videos about this next season.. Many think he will come back by the crazy red head..
I just got done watching all the seasons.. So I’m ready for the new season!!
This seems like a good place to ask this, but can we refrain from spoilers on here once the season starts? I’m skipping this season to wait for the book to come out, and I’m already going to have to avoid pretty much the whole internet. I’d hate to have to miss out on this place too.
Its 7:54 and texsa sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They suck a big one
Can someone please explain to me the love affair that the ESPN (mainly Trotter) has with Mahomes and Taco Tech? He’s not a bad QB but damn you’d think the kid won the Heisman by the numerous articles that the ESPN Big 12 bloggers talk him up in. I can hardly stand to read the crap those biased dud’s post anymore.
He doesn’t care about being wrong or right, he wants clicks.
It’s hard for me to read anything not written by the Mods at TFB.
All of these news outlets are losing their, at one time, loyal audience. They are all rolling in the muck: the content they put out lacks quality: the content in their articles illustrates they’ve sold their souls; they will write anything if it sales and provides for their families.
Not all of them sell their souls for clicks. To me, Stewart Mandel writes some very good stuff. There may be a couple of others who are ok, but the one’s with integrity in place are dwindling.
There’s this pressure to feed content instantly. When I was reading Mandel’s stuff, and he might be the lesser of evils, I found his material lacking. I mean, if I’m reading your article and still have questions, you’ve lost me.
I know they have a word limit on articles, so my expectations aren’t too great to begin with. And not all articles by same author are equivalent. I have good days and bad days too. But I have to admit that I read less and less sports articles nowadays because the industry as a whole has lowered their standards for click bait $$$’s. TFB is my last refuge of sorts for all things Sooner Football. I have basically stopped watching ESPN except for when they host Sooner games. It is so sad since I used to enjoy that channel.
I agree in part that there are a lot that blow smoke for clicks because they are dying a slow death and have no unbiased integrity left but there are a few that are still decent. I also agree that TFB is above and beyond any other site when it comes to quality and knowledge of OU athletics. I just don’t understand the affinity that ESPN (other than OU’s Fox Sports affiliation) has with giving no love to the Sooners. You look at last year when Baylor won the Big 12. All we got was articles about Baylor (and of course the Short Horns) but this year OU gets equal if not less than equal amount of pop from their writers. I know haters are going to hate but I am betting OU has a much bigger following nationally for ESPN to get clicks from that lets say the majority of the rest of the league.
They seem to be catering to the state of Texas.
Surely that has nothing to do with the huge flop of the LHN and or $$$? LOL
ESPN cater to the big markets : NY, Cali, Texas, Ohio, FL, Ilinois, PA–demographics equal market share. Factual, honest, un-biased reports ? not so much.
I’m with you Tony. I can’t understand the lack of love, either. All I can say is there seems to be a dislike for OU for whatever reason. I know the producers control what gets aired. As I majored in journalism, broadcast news, it became clear that the reporters learned real quick to temper their articles to what the producer wanted. Otherwise, it was quite possible your story would never see the light of day.
To be fair, he gets asked multiple times per mailbag over there when Mahomes will get Heisman attention. I normally laugh it off, but I guess being hounded by it over and over got him to give in and write something.
Y’all should check out that “That is NOT a catfish on the end of the line” video….
And, like a couple others mentioned, the love affair with Mahomes is baffling
I was expecting a snake.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but kudos to the guy in the video. He reacted like a champ – very quickly
He’s lucky that thing didn’t lunge at him. See, my issue with that is this: I would not have been in such a tiny boat if I knew gators are in the water. I would have used a cruise ship.
Yep, you heard right, a cruise ship: all of the people who know me call me “Safety Sam.”
Yep osha fine,boat to small!
Hahaha love it. Yeah the gator definitely could have jumped up. And shoot, how lucky is it that he told his boy to be careful just a second or two before? His boy had his hand right there – could have been a much different story
Question for you then safety Sam….. Would you have repunted?
Repented or repunted (as in Stoops)?
Repunt as in lil sis and the woman beater returner..
I don’t think I would have repunted. However, time had elapsed. Punting again eats more clock. I can see his logic.
Sam, are you in charge of special teams,hence fair catch?
Bring back J.T. Thatcher and Antonio Perkins.
Joe Washington!
I think ucla just punted to Perkins again!!!!!!!!!!!
And Stanford.
Surely one of them has a son turning about 13 or 14
Safety Sam would not have punted again.
When you say “snake”, are you referring to Calipari, Saban, or Dabo?
That would be a funny giff,sabans head coming outta water!
All of them: they are your typical venomous variety.
Good clip. I know the feeling. I almost stepped on a 20-24″ Copperhead yesterday. Talk about a quick step.
Shoot yeah that’ll get you moving real quick
Those damn copperheads blend in so well. I was playing golf in South Carolina. One of my foursome hit his ball underneath some trees. He went looking for it. I noticed that these were pine trees. Pine needles were everywhere. He was walking around like he’s looking for sea shells. He had total disregard for his surroundings. I told him to be careful. He didn’t listen to me.
Nothing happen on that hole but we did see a copperhead later on that day.
At least he had a club with him.
Which raises the question: is it better to use a longer club like a three-iron that keeps you further from the snake or do you use a shorter and heavier club like a sand wedge that provides more hitting power but forces you closer to the snake?
The longer the better, but none of those wimpy graphite shafts. IMHO.
I can’t count the number of copperheads I’ve almost stepped on down in SE Oklahoma. Coiled up water moccasins too.
This one was on my brick patio. The sucker got away before I could find something to kill it with. First Copperhead I’ve seen in a few years. We’ve had several Rat Snakes. I don’t think I’ll be walking around barefoot much this summer.
I live on Lake Texoma, my wife or I never go anywhere in the golf cart without the “Judge”.
“Judge”?
That sounds like a story to need to finish.
Night stand, and snake protection. Chambered for .45 caliber and 410 shotgun shells.
http://www.zombiecrisis.org/siteimages/weapons/judge2large.jpg
Gotcha!
That looks pretty final, to me.
I want one.
They’re the ultimate vehicle/nightstand protection. Loaded with shotgun shells they protect the interior of your home without the prospects of a missed shot carrying outside your house and down the street like the .45 would do should you miss, and your vehicle at highjacker distance. Smith and Wesson also makes one, that is not as versatile caliber or bore wise, but no less lethal protection. This one is made by Taurus.
Going shopping for a Judge.
If you’re in OKC, go by H and H and rent one (I think you can rent one there) try it out. Depending on the model it would be aprox $500-$700.
Renting lets you try it out before you dump the cash. I always rent before buying.
Will do. Thanks.
I made hamburger meat out of a snake or two back in the day with a 12 gauge shotgun w / #4 shot. It wasn’t pretty, but very effective.
The SW Will chamber 410?
Yes…the Judge (Raging Judge) model will also chamber 44 casull as well as .45 Colt and .410, but the SW will chamber .45/410 bore. I think they call it “The Governor”.
Thanks!
http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_769651_-1_757767_757751_image
Nice, thanks Rick,i be shopping for this!
Does the 410 shot kick the same as .45?
Does the 410 shot kick the same as .45?
The judge is so heavy (unless you order one of the polymer ones) that the recoil is extremely manageable. Metz its the handgun you want to have near so you can fight your way to your AR.
Yep. You use your handgun to fight your way to your AR if you don’t have it on you.
My wife doesn’t have much problem with it (up to buck shot) we’re older and she’s about 5’4 130 lbs.
My .45 is a combat commander,never seen on that will chamber 410,thats awesome.Mine stays on top of my bible on night stand.
Mosberg 12 g riot gun xx , ineed an AR tho.
You’re much better off protecting your property with the Mos. The AR is the ultimate fighting gun, BUT missed shots go through walls. You have to keep that in mind thinking about your home. Get an AR too, but know in advance what you’re doing.
Yep the xx in the moss will do the same
I don’t know who did the study, but a year or two ago, someone did a study on stopping power, safety, soft tissue damage blah, blah blah and concluded the 4-0 buck was the best home defense shell. Not nearly as much bore pressure and safer inside the house (or vehicle) for defense.
Yea i saw that 12 gauge slug most knock down under 100 ft.45 will do the job.
Love Mosbergs. I want the pump 12 with pistol grips!!!!
Thats mine!
I have the remington 870 tactical ( the remington equivalent of your Mos). Your Mos has one advantage over the 870 in the placement of the safety slide. Works much better for us lefties!
Love the 870 also!When i was working in san marcos heard alot of ruckus going on in the neigborhood my dogs going crazy,and i relized all my guns were in lubbock!Went to store next am bought the moss.
I’ve got a 870 20 gauge youth model I bought for the wife. I hunted with it at times. The shorter youth model fit perfect when you were all bundled up. First two shots killed two rattlers. BTW, not a fun gun to shot slugs with.
I’ve got the 870 20 gauge and a Benelli 12 gauge tactical. Both have their own purposes. Love them both.
That Benelli is an awesome shotgun, high quality!
Yea I wanted to make sure and get something I can depend on when it comes to protecting my gals.
Really, any of the shotty’s listed here are great. (The Benelli is 1 step above, “just really good”) The main thing is get something you are comfortable with, that fits you or can be adjusted (like the shotty’s with the adjustable AR type stocks). Get the training you need PROFESSIONALLY. Take your gun to the range and practice (repeat often). Have fun with it and stay ready.
Agreed. I have never had any issues with my 870. I wish more people would take the time to get trained, at least on safety. Shooting can be a lot of fun if done right.
I always told my girls, “The most dangerous person in the room is the girl who is armed, trained, practiced and chooses to be a victim.
I asked my 5 year old last night if she wanted to watch some cartoons, her response ” I want to watch one of your hunting shows”. Proud Papa right here LOL.
I have 3 daughters and 5 grandaughters, all my daughters and the grandaughters mature enough can shoot.
Are they Pachmayr? Those are the ones that felt good to me.
You might want a 20 gauge with pistol grips after you shoot the 12 a few times.
You are probably right.
I can swap grips!
ARs are fun, but not as fun as a Mossberg shotty, in my opinion. There’s something rewarding about seeing targets knock back or explode from a 3 in. shell. And that soreness in your shoulder after holding that shotty all day!!! ARs, you just shoot all day and say, “I fired 767 rounds today and made two holes in my target!” Then you get to scrub it for about 4 hours.
Is there even a kick to a 410?? more like a tickle! LOL
Ive never shot a 410 from a pistol tho.
Looks like a good snake gun. 410 is good. I’d hate to put a solid round through one of my neighbors windows, livestock or kids. I think I’ll check into it and the S&W.
They have several different loads for it. You cab get standard 410 birdshot, but you can get ball bearings of other various loads depending on your needs. Fairly loud.
Ear protection is required buddy!
They fairly loud.
IMHO…an understatement.
I’ve watched my Great Uncle grab them behind the head with one hand and then grab the tail with the other and crack them like a whip. Snapped their neck. He was one wild dude.
Growing up in South Georgia and working in my fair share of tobacco fields, I’ve encountered more rattlers than you can shake a stick at. Every day we sat on that tobacco harvester, pulled weeds out of peanut field, we were dead men walking. I’ve seen those suckers get to be six to seven feet long. We were coming home at the end of a days work, someone had hung one on a stop sign. The tail was on the ground on one side and the head was about half way down the other side.
By the grace of God, no one in my family was ever bitten by a rattle snake.
At least they give you a warning. And yeah, I’ve almost picked up baby rattlers thinking they were sticks too. In SE Ok there are some pygmy rattlers that don’t get any bigger than about 6 inches or so. They are about the size / diameter of a pencil. They are almost impossible to distinguish. If you can imagine, copperheads are a close second to them in camouflage coloring.
Yep, I agree.
Rattlers are changing their behavior. They’ve been hunted so much that they’ve learned that they are giving away their position; some have stopped rattling.
Interesting. It is a miracle I was never bitten with all those encounters with snakes in my youth. Lucky I guess.
Interesting. It is a miracle I was never bitten with all those encounters with snakes in my youth. Lucky I guess.
I’ve heard they have gone more to a snare sound, and some to timbale’s and cowbells.
More cowbell, por favor.
Have any switched to woodwinds or brass or are they all still percussion?
Oh, great…
Wow. Grew up in southern OK and never heard of or saw a pygmy rattler. Scary. Did see some big 6 foot diamondbacks in the Arbuckles and plenty of copperheads.
I worked on a survey crew on the section of I35 going over the Arbuckle Mountains just South of Davis and North of Ardmore. We killed a couple of rattlers every day or so.
I remember one instance when one of the crew stepped over a log and a copperhead hit him in the lower leg. Didn’t cut skin, but the fangs stuck in the guys jeans. This guy is about 6’4″ and 245. He’s jumping up and down and dancing around trying to dislodge the copperhead. We were laughing so hard we could help. He finally kicked it about 20 feet.
When I was in ROTC Summer Camp at Fort Sill, we spent a week sleeping on the ground at the rifle range. The rattlers would crawl under the sleeping bags at night to keep warm. One learned to be quite careful when exiting the sleeping bag. We would kill two or three in the company area every morning.
Knew a guy ‘Doyle Keith’, think his name was. Worked the survey crew for I35 over the Arbuckles. Talked about the rattlers and using donkeys to haul their gear in places 4x4s couldn’t reach.
Not a member of our crew. We had to backpack all our gear. Back in the sixties, the state wouldn’t even buy us chainsaws. Too many complaints from people about wasting their tax dollars. I usually left the truck every morning with a sledge hammer, a double bit axe, an brush hook, and 20 or 30 pounds of other gear.
Back then, I carried three lunch pails and never gained an ounce.
I had the joy of attending the annual rattlesnake roundup in Mangum, OK back in the late 1980’s. Don’t know if they still do that out there in western OK or not. People hunt them down for fun and eat the critters. Ugh. Not me.
I ate some chicken once that tasted just like rattlesnake.
Okeene still holds one as far as I know. I have a cousin that hunts them. Crazy fella. 🙂
You just missed the one in Waurika April 8-10. That was the one I used to visit. Ate deep fried rattler and watched some guy named “Bob” something-other walk around in a pen w/ hundreds of rattlers around him.
Yep they still do it.
Been there several times back in the ’80’s. Had the fried rattler, but wasn’t really impressed. I still don’t know why people say it tastes like chicken. Not to me.
HELLS NO!!!
There was a junior golf tournament over here in Tulsa a few years back where a kid got bit by copperhead on back of calf muscle. He instinctively reached down and pulled it off and tossed it to the ground. The snake jumped back up and bit him again near same place. The kid went into shock and had to have ambulance ride to hospital. The head Pro at the golf shop warned everyone to not go into the weeds looking for lost balls or else risk getting bitten.
What course?
Emerald Falls – which is closed now. It was on the NE side of Broken Arrow out near the navigation channel. At one time Golf Digest rated that course near the top of all new public courses. It had a tough set of holes on the front side that wound around a creek where all the snakes lived. I think the holes were 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Not to be competitive but I live in NYC and I once got bit by a mean ass chipmonk in Central Park. These here parts are dangerous.
LOL!!! I once got my cap knocked off by an angry chicken hawk when I ventured too close to a tree with her nest in it.
When I was a scout, many years ago, we had capture and cook quite a few water moccs down by Hugo, somewhere, so that we could eat. We became pretty good at it.
When I was stationed at Fort Benning, one Saturday afternoon, I ran into some guys going through ranger training. They were hunting for rattlesnakes. The ranger instructors had told them they could eat any they found. Food was precious in ranger training.
My little brother went through Ranger training a Benning. I use to drive down there to visit.
I had a few of the cottonmouth’s chase me in the water with their mouth wide open. One unfortunate snake caught a .22 bullet right in the center of his cotton. I remember just before pulling the trigger that if I missed I was going to turn and run because he was coming at me at a rapid rate with ill intent.

Nice claw tap!
They’re letting them marinate so it’s extra good when it gets here.
Slap those puppies on the grill and let’s get to cooking.
Yesterday, I saw the biggest wild turkey in my life!! Walking through a wooded area in Cleveland. I swear it would have feed the entire football team! I tried to get pictures but it was moving fast!
I swear I checked back in at least 40 times last night. Was gone over entire weekend in Vegas & missed game. Dying to know what people of actual knowledge thought. This doesn’t include myself.
You win us some money? You picked a bad weekend to come given the mount of rain we had for two days straight lol. I’m super nosey, where did you stay?

Dude, F that gator & double F that bear..! She was totally oblivious..!
I would actually be in the camp that yes, Mahommes will be really, really good this year.
Mahommes has been really, really good, he just hasn’t had a supporting cast yet….including the coach.
That’s exactly it. Mahommes is a baller. But the support cast around him aren’t and don’t play with his confidence.
I guarantee that if Leach were still at Tech with a QB that caliber, we would be looking over our collective shoulders at a possible national champion. He would surround him with skill and protection. He would be putting up video game scores.
They’ll never be in any national championship discussion until they come around to believing that you have to play defense instead of just outscoring everybody.
He’s a good QB. I just don’t like his attitude though. They will give us a tough game for 1/2 of the game down there this year. I hate playing down there since so many “strange” things get called/not called by the refs.
Mahomet is good, their D will fail them vs every team with a running game
I do a lot of kayak fishing and there’s no way I would get in the water where I know there are gators…especially, with my son. Hell No!
Waa, waa, waa.
Every body of water in Florida has an alligator in it.
Took this on a Sunday bike ride through my neighborhood…man up…
Or… go pet the little cutie and be “man down.”
Ha! True.
Anyone know anything about this kid? Was browsing through instagram and found it. Internet says he’s from Rejoice Christian Academy and is listed as an athlete (dual threat qb/inside linebacker). Caleb Gastelum comes to mind when I think of an athlete from a small Oklahoma Christian school.
Hmm
Preferred walk-on?????
I think so. If it’s who I’m thinking, I recall that Lincoln lassoed him as a walk-on QB.
His defensive stats are far superior to his offensive stats.
Just now saw that, but I seem to recall us getting a walk-on QB out of Owasso. But then I seem to recall having bedded down Barbara Eden.
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1168409/highlights/323936394
His 247 was empty.. But had him from owasso.. Gonna assume it’s a walk on at linebacker
Sounds familiar, I think K had something on him a little while back.
Dang must have missed it.
Quarterback/inside linebacker? That’s insane.
……Good MorningTFB!!! BOOMER!!! Some interesting threads going this AM…….
We’re bored – just waiting on the spring game recap notes.
I understand the spring game notes will be up in just a bit.
That Gator vid was funny….but this would of freaked me out

The good news, so far, is we have no points.
Hope we can keep that goose egg.
Game of Thrones! Can’t wait…
Well we have found something we can talk about,other than Hallmark,GUNS!
One time I came to TFB looking for Spring Game notes… F*ckin snakes everywhere. It was ridiculous.
Snakes on a message board!
Would you prefer Hallmark instead? 🙂
Hallmark Snake and Gun Club has a nice ring to it.

Come to TFB’s Guns and Liquor, where you can get loaded twice.
I say we all get liquored up and go shoot some snakes until spring game recap is posted.
The phrase that has caused more deaths in the history of mankind than any other. “Just hold my beer and watch this.”
Sweetwater rattlesnake round up!
I’ve heard of that one.
After my stupid Tuesday owner meeting!!!!!!!!!!!
Skip the meeting. We got snakes and beers to kill.
I like that alot better!
“Well, sometimes we’d travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.” – John Prine
It would certainly make the owners meeting more interesting if you took liquor and guns.
Yep indeed.

Real Sweet!!!
Does Trevor Lawrence have an offer from OU?
With all the guns and liquor being passed around, should Esco be afraid if he shows back up without the spring game notes?
I hope JY has some input.
I’m just afraid Metz might get out of hand. He’s armed now.
Metz knows he’s crossed the line already. I think he’ll be able to exercise some self-control, if only for self-preservation alone.
Yeah, but liquor combined with firearms usually doesn’t equate to self-control.
In that case: it’s been nice knowing Metz. LOL!
I was just hoping we could rehabilitate him. A Metz is a terrible thing to waste.
That’s Metzed up!
Thanks, Bob.
Hahahaha
Very calm,kinda!
Complete control,well i am a little pissed, which is normal after my Tuesday meeting!
Yes!
Didn’t get to watch the Spring Game on Saturday. Been dying to watch the highlights from our boy Hambone on youtube. But alas, still no kind of replay anywhere to be found.
You can watch it on soonersports.tv if you have a subscription.
Oh snap I think I do! Appreciate it Bob.
A lot of big time names on here…

Anyone catch how well (or not) TK did in the A&M spring game? I see he’s been named the starter, but that could just mean it’s slim pickins at that position?
I only saw a couple highlights. One was an interception that really wasn’t his fault and the other being a rushing touchdown.
I wish TK all the best, but I think A&M may see what OU fans already witnessed: for whatever reason, TK seemed to struggle with nerves in many games, and didn’t play to his potential on Saturday, no matter how good he looked during the week.
He played to his potential once, much to the chagrin of Mr. Saban, and for that alone, TK will always be remembered as a great Sooner. And for that alone, I wish him the best. It was one of the best games of football I ever watched. No one gave us a chance, and we kicked ass!.
Can’t disagree with that.
looked like he got better on his deep ball… Actually kept a few in the field of play
He’s never been that bad. But boy does he get hurt a lot.

Come to OU so you can learn to play tight end! /s
Looks like a TE with that hair.
Bell dozer 2/ssssssssss
KJ you seem to have a lot of insider info. Is this post wishful thinking or is there something going on behind the scenes with this guy and the Sooners? Would love to him here.
Just a guess, but I think the OU staff may be getting serious about pursuing him.
A kid of his caliber and deep within SEC territory, it may be a day late and a dollar short to start pursuing him now. Stranger things have happened though…..
SUNSHINE!
Kid definitely has the height along with offers from everyone in the country. Could be one of the top three QB’s in 2018.
WELL THE RULE SAYS THAT A SCHOOL CAN ONLY HAVE CAMPS AT PLACES THEY REGULARLY COMPETE OR PRACTICE . WELL OKLAHOMA REGULARLY COMPETES AT THE COTTON BOWL EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST AT LEAST 50 YEARS RIGHT ? SO OKLAHOMA CAN STILL CAMP IN DALLAS. DONE!
Good point.
Well, when you put it that way: the Orange Bowl is a regular site, we’ve competed against the SEC regularly since Stoops arrived, good there; we compete at schools in the Big XII; we’ve been competing for recruits in California, Canada, the DC area, Virginia; hell, OU has a national brand.
So, that settles that: satellite bans does not apply to OU.
right ? ? you didn’t make a very good point to my point at all. 50 or more STRAIGHT years at one stadium during regular season kind of trumps your wishy washy attempt at trying to have a laugh at my great point. maybe you should rethink it before you comment. i did. still think mine has merit as does the several people i told thought there was at least something to think about.
I was just having fun. I wasn’t trying to make light of what you posted or say that your thought process has no merit. I’ve read my post again and I can see how you would come to that conclusion. I didn’t mean to offend you.
Stay angry much?
Why are you yelling at us?
Im not going to lie….at first glance I thought it was Vivian talking about her roomate Lori who makes $98/hr…the caps threw me off.
I suspect that Lori or Vivian are not worth $98/hr even in all CAPS.
Well,thats a good question.
Back from your meeting? Sam and I have a mission for you – need to go get OUr OP and Game Notes back from the texsa board.
Yes meeting is over!
My thoughts also!
i had a stroke and only one hand works. what do you care putts ? you can read it fine. i have never understood you internet wanna be’s that cares about such a petty thing. i had a stroke a few months ago so i can only type with one hand now but i hope your proud of yourself you arrogant douch. i thought being a sooner fan some wouldn’t care so much and might give me a break. i am sorry i am handycapped . didn’t mean to bother you guys —geez what a fan base
Pretty sure he was just joking around, in fact I’m really sure.
Calm down, it was a joke.
I sent the material to you this morning.
Thank you sir, I will get into it tomorrow and get back with you!
Take your time. I have more if you’re interested.
“YOU’RE” “PUTZ” “DOUCHE” “HANDICAPPED” How’s that for help?
WELL THE RULE SAYS THAT A SCHOOL CAN ONLY HAVE CAMPS AT PLACES THEY REGULARLY COMPETE OR PRACTICE . WELL OKLAHOMA REGULARLY COMPETES AT THE COTTON BOWL EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST AT LEAST 50 YEARS RIGHT ? SO OKLAHOMA CAN STILL CAMP IN DALLAS. DONE!
Saw this kid on BR….looks pretty good. Reminds me of a couple of guys on our roster. No OU offer.
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2955577/highlights/318166378
Looks very athletic, once he’s on a man…it’s over.
Its a crappy slow day when TK leads the Daily News and Taco Tech’s (as some poster likes to call them) QB is the best KK has ever seen…I’ll go ahead and call BS on that.
Its so slow I’ll respond to myself. Texas SUCKS!
I’ll respond to you. Ok, I have nothing else.
Anybody have a link to today’s OP? 😉
Must be a glitch in the system.
Ask Metzker.
False alarms are very bad, but surely poor Metz would not “steal” an OP.
I don’t know. You have a lot of faith in him. After all, he stole the truth and gave us a lie.
But he was in a meeting.
Yes as Bob stated!!!!!!!!!
Even if you had done it, sounds like that your meeting would have been enough punishment.
Indeed,sir!
Sam, he’s paid the price of scorn and ridicule. I am more concerned over this apparently thievery – missing “notes” and now an OP. The board needs a sleuth.
Let’s compare prices. I have something different from you, apparently.
Nope!
Ill look!
It’s at the top of the spring game notes.
“They” stole that too!
OK. I am fully caught up with snake fears and firearms comparisons. Now, who the texsa stole the Spring Game notes? I’m not making any accusations or calling anyone out, but some miscreant has hijacked the “notes.”
We’ll let it drop; no questions asked; no recriminations or keyboard vendettas, just bring OUr Spring Game notes back to the front page.
I took one for the team so you don’t have to take a peek and burn your eyes with orange: the texsa TFB site has an OP.
Are you trying to start a riot? 🙂
If that’s what it comes to but you can’t touch journalist and those providing medical assistance in a time of war or civil unrest.
Luckily, I have torches and pitchforks for sale. One can’t riot without them.
Luckily, I have torches and pitchforks for sale. One can’t riot without them.
I suspected the turncoat TFB texsa staff of stealing OUr OP. The have pulled an electronic robbery. I think we need to send Metz undercover to turn their board into the sort of bubbling, orange mess that it should be.
Well, that’d be a good starting point for his punishment.
It would be an act of selflessness furthering his rehabilitation…and he might enjoy churning up “the Austin way of life.”
LMAO
I was working in San Marcos for a year and a half ,no thanks.
Austin is nice – it’s all the %$#*&% texsa PEOPLE that ruin it.
Now, Sam and I think you need to “volunteer” for this mission. The whole board will support you and your “volunteering” to render the texsa tfb (should not be allowed to use the letters – certainly no caps) as useless as their Steer’s future paternity.
Again, you will be “volunteering” for this to erase for good your own OP “shame.”
So,your saying i should go in AM and say heyyyyyy Texsa,theres an OP up?
Say; “there is the finest OP of all time. An OP that guarantees an NC for all the burnt orange faithful” You might even sign in as Mac Daddy just to make it official 🙂
I will do it,but i want witnesses from our board!!!!!!!
Rick says that he’d been there. I don’t want to go for fear that I could never wipe my monitor clear of the orange filth. I’m sure you can amass a cadre of Sooner TFBers to witness your virtual “pantsing” of the texsa board.
A good start?
Lmao!!
I’ve lurked on that board before, and I’m telling you you don’t even have to Metz it up, it’s already a bubbling orange mess.
Could not happen to a better batch of rejects from Rodeo Clowndom.
WHATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good one,Cush.
Well what i wonder is if tomorrow we will be asked to tone down,umm some of our gun, snake and beer talk?As of 4/13 only 2 giffs or pics of guns.You will be allowed

Heh. I hope to never speak of snakes again. But I just said that with forked tongue.
I thought Hallmark had a Gun and Snake channel.

sweetwater rattlesnake round up queen Abilene Tx———–
The kid behind the glass, or at least I hope that is glass, is either enthralled by the rattlers or diggin’ the queens chili!
The guy behind her seems to be diggin’ the chili.
How does that look on a resume?
Not sure.Sir I work 1 week a year,me and some buds round up about 10 thousand rattlers,sell em eat em and rest up tell next year.
looks like a meeting of the NCAA legislation committee…..
Ok i gotta get————
OK. Going to need intervention soon. First step is recognizing you have a problem. So waiting on an OP and spring notes that I went over and lurked the longwhorn tfb site. Now THAT is a cry for help.
If you all weren’t constantly late with your subscription dues, maybe we’d have an OP/Notes by now!
Hey…. the check is in the mail.
Sounds like something Metz would say.
Im a direct deposit guy.
I was about to get to that: there direct deposit and auto-pay. Seems like you have your hand out again. Why are you still here, anyway?
Just got home, checking in to see if anyone located the OP,or game notes,fixing to go out,see yall in the AM
ROTFLMAO!!
The day the OP died very sad day.—————-
I’m just gonna have some of that for dinner, I’ll throw the bag away….with the holes and all it’s useless. 🙂
Yall are really mean!
For EasTex, y’all:
Good idea. Maybe it will draw him out into the open.
Good one, Bob!
what is this ?
If the tots don’t lure him from hiding, the last hope will be Sept. 3rd, 2016 (OU vs Houston)
Yes, sir. You are correct.
For EasTex, y’all:
This kid is going to be an outstanding lineman.
