Pete seems to be leering at OUr guys with visions of reindeer dancing in his giant head. Morning, Doc.
All I keep saying about the draft is how Shep will be a great pick for someone. I’d love to see him do great
Send him and Sammy B on down to the Mile High City!!!
actually he is needed in Pittsburgh………..he’ll look great in yellow & black.
Also, I don’t think I’ve gone a week without hearing about something that happened at Baylor in months. How are they still even around??
I’m wondering the same thing. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and the smoke is THICK
No joke. I’m not saying Briles is evil… I’m just saying there’s a strong correlation between a lot of messed up stuff and him.
If he looks kinda evil, does that count?
It absolutely does
You know he’s using the darkside of the Force. Look at the way his hair has fallen out and left patches. Only a soul swimming in the darkest magic has hair that bad.

Some of it is political, some of it is apathy, some of it is sorting out all the evidence which could take some time.
Good morning all you Brainiacs!!!! “It is another great day to be a SOONER” Keep weather aware today.
Always a great day to be a Sooner!
Yeah it looks like it could get pretty nasty later today. Stay safe all!
Good morning, Magic! You’re right — always a great day to be a Sooner!!
Mornin, Magic
Good morning, 47!!
Mornin, J.r.
47!
That article about C Strong is just strange if those are indeed his quotes…we need hope? This is year 3, no more excuses? That sounds like a fan, not a Coach. Guess they were biding their time years 1-2. Strange.
Those two years were about luring the nation into a false sense of security. Really gonna trick everyone this year.
76!
Anybody have any inside information on the apparent silent BOOM last night?
Silent Boom? Now that’s an oxymoron for ya… 🙂
What did you just call me? LOL
Good morning Hawk. I liked that phrase “silent boom”. Caught my eye.
Morning, I guess a silent boom could be something in a diaper as well. haha
We need a Sonic Boom of OUDNA!
Oscar!
Morning Metz!
Hawk!
737!
Howdy Metz!
Good morning, Hawk!!
Good morning sir.
I’ve been hearing only rumors related to a couple of tweets. Possibly someone from Florida.
I’m going with A.J. Davis if those rumors are true. He did raise his emoji hand when Boulware asked who was next for SoonerSquadL17. See below.
https://twitter.com/ajdavis_2/status/723142683242455040
Is this based on twitter chatter or what?
Yes, and googly eyes.
Excellent.
I didn’t hear anything about a silent boom but we are getting very close to closing a few recruits.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance!
I’m telling you the odds are very favorable from what I heard.
Good morning my Sooner bretheren. Hope everyone has a blessed day today and may the nasty weather/tornadoes pass you by this evening.
Good morning, Mike!!
Thank you. You too
apparently going to be a rocky night across the state…..
Good morning, fellow Brainiacs!!
Morning J.r.Kamm. Boomer!
Good morning, Oscar!!
Good morning, gentlemen!
Good morning Slim!!
Morning, J.r.!
Thank you Jordan for the daily post!
(every time I go to NewsOk I feel like I step back in time 4 days)
You do step back in time by going there
What’s taking Bolden so long to announce a commitment? Anyone think Dixon is converting him to TCU?
I didn’t think we needed another point for next year with the Juco coming in.
we’ve offered
Found this interesting on College Football Talk with OUs depth at QB. I don’t know anything about the kid other than hes been at ECU and is a grad transfer with immediate elgibility.
http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/04/25/east-carolina-qb-kurt-benkert-to-transfer-with-two-years-eligibility/
I find it hard to believe that a guy who couldn’t start at ECU is much better than the two walk ons we have. As a general rule, if you are down to your 3rd string QB for much of the season, you pretty much write it off anyway.
Transfers who don’t start at their previous school usually shouldn’t be relied on, especially if they are moving up the competition level latter.
Agreed with ECU level of competition. Find the Lincoln Riley connection interesting though. Doubt he would transfer to OU to not start.
Depends. Does Lincoln want him? If so, then I’m on board.
IF he transferred to OU (and I don’t see anything indicating he’s considering OU as a destination) he could be looking at the situation with life after football as a bigger consideration than actual playing time. Maybe he’d like to learn more from Riley with an eye on coaching once his eligibility is up.
Early OP to beat the impending severe weather?
I am hearing a lot of Bradford bashing in the media for wanting out of Philly. How about the other side of the story. I thought this writer nailed it.
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/pattisonave/In-defense-of-Sam-Bradford.html
New England, maybe? Sam’s kind of in the dropback mold of a Brady.
I would love to see Sam in a Pats uniform, but that would make no sense for him. He’d be sitting for a while…
Yeah, I know Brady thinks he can hang for — what? — six years? Still it’s nice to imagine Sam in a system that uses his skills.
Great article, thanks for sharing. It makes a lot of good points
If the government wants to look at the NCAA they ought to start by looking at how they treat “student athletes” like employees without benefits.
They need to worry about benefits for the military first, instead of kids that are receiving a free education in my opinion
It is a standard practice to pay employees. For what they make off of student athletes they are cheap labor that makes a lot of money for its employers. What is not a standard practice is to have employees that work long hours in a job that has long term effects on their health and not provide some sort of benefits. The military issue is not related, but sure we should take care of our soldiers. The benefits even come out of different pockets, the NCAA vs. the government. Nice idea, but irrelevant in this conversation, its just often an easy rallying cry for the uninformed. How dare I consider students with soldiers out there… The college education won’t count for much if you end up with CTE. Additionally due to the hard practice hours athletes often end up with an easy major that doesn’t lead to a career. This is a complex issue that I suggest you actually research.
That would take about 1/2 the student athletes out of getting a paid for education/free tutors/meals, etc. only the biggest of the schools can afford that. If that is what you really want, then OK. They are student athletes now. They will be semi-pro then. Research will tell you that you can’t just do that for Football. You will do it for all athletes. And it will be what the courts determine is equal. 1/2 the current athletes may be a high number
I am having a hard time understanding the argument you are trying to make. I will say that pulling numbers out of your ass is not a good way to support an argument, and I think that the NCAA is the one that needs to foot the bill. Maybe if we applied more of the profits to the athletes we would still have NCAA games. I think you are underestimating the amount of money generated by the NCAA.

I hope Shep doesn’t go to SF. But then again it would be cool to watch him and Blake playing together again.
I would love to see him on my Cowboys, they can use a few more high character players…or a new owner.
LOL Jermone needs to go.
I suspect the list of things they “can use” could fill a few encyclopedias
high character…which is why he won’t go to the cowboys
Maybe a high character owner.
Is this 2018 WR from Jones going to get an offer from OU? I think I saw where he attended camp in Norman. 247sports has him as the 16th WR in the class, so I was curious to why he hasn’t received an offer.
http://247sports.com/Player/Sean-Shaw-Jr-87154
Only a matter of time before he gets an offer.
TFB Is waiting for my meeting to start before putting up OP.
Well, get into your meeting already!! 🙂
1:00
EST?
CT.
Better make your final BR run – can’t be squirming in that meeting 🙂
Your meeting today will be on how to install the R Panels on the metal buildings along with the proper joint spacing in the concrete paving lol.
Yep. As usual. Lol
Seems to be that way.
McGregor is ambitious, but he’ll never be as successful as Floyd in promoting and calling his own shots. Floyd made an insane amount of money right after he split from Arum and he was the biggest draw. The showtime contract was huge and not to mention Floyd kept winning. McGregor needs to just keep fighting in the UFC for a little while longer.
I find it pretty funny he asked for 10 million in disclosed pay, and dana shut his ass down.
He made 1 million in disclosed pay last fight…and lost, then asks for 10x more.
Seriously, and it wasn’t just because of McGregor, people aren’t just gonna keep paying to watch you possibly win. People were eventually paying to watch Floyd lose. Not to mention there’s a couple of other really good weight classes that I’d rather watch. Not gonna command that type of money in the UFC. Bones probably could of gotten close before all the suspensions.
Totally agree, Just cant ask for that kind of raise after losing, and losing decisively. Maybe had he crushed diaz, and 1-2 more big names, could he have asked for 10 mil.
Dont get me wrong, id pay to watch conor-diaz again, but its not a relevant fight. Would much rather see bones-cormier, rockhold-weidman, or lawler vs condit/thompson.
I would like to see Shep go to a good team with a chance. Of the playoff or near playoff teams, Vikings, Chiefs, Broncos, Bengals, Packers, Cowboys, Ravens, Texans could use him. A load of awful teams could too (Cowboys with Romo and Bryant back have a shot).
the nasty eagles …. yuk ….
Metz told me OP is up.
