Good morning TFB family , i think todays commitment will be Hines or Chaisson.

OOOOPS
https://twitter.com/eclecticbrotha/status/765865058199015424
any sport more boring, repetitious, and political than gymnastics ? way too much time spent on vertically challenged girls and far too little time spent showing the women in volleyball…..did anybody notice viewer decline ( per KFOR / D.O. ) is down 25% from 2012 and 31% from 2008 !!……changes in what the USOC / NBC forces Americans to watch needs to start in 2020 : 1.) cut WAY back on gymnastics coverage or relegate it to MSNBC / TNT / ; 2.) increase coverage of volleyball and softball ( if it returns in 2020 ) ; 3.) eliminate golf, and rythematic gymnastics from the Olympic agenda ; 4.) show more international athletes in primetime and fewer American ‘prima donnas’ …until they produce and deserve more time in primetime; 5.) eliminate the ‘feelgood’ pictorials of US athletes home lives and life stories. its a waste of time and everybody has a ‘story’ ; 6.) conduct the Olympics at the same location every 4 years , save billions of dollars in construction money and bring stability to national budgets….
Do not speak to me. Please.
Crimson : I am speaking to you and fellow readers. its time to start a national revolt against the IOC for the inordinate time allotted to gymnastics coverage —when mature , beautiful WOMEN in bikinis are playing in the sand out of our viewing sight…its un-American!!! having to watch tiny little girls w/o bosoms prance and strut around, do a flip or three, and simultaneously push out their chests / rears is as boring as watching paint peel..
My ears hurt from listening to your voice in my head.
I don’t normally slam you personally SD, but that was exceptionally degrading to women.
I watch sports for the competition, not the T&A.
so you are into tiny girls instead of well developed women ? to each their own.
I’m into watching sports, not their bra size which has nothing to do with athletic ability or the competition.
If that is all you care about, why are you watching the olympics to begin with?
so you are into tiny girls instead of well developed women ? to each their own.
That’s just good stuff.
Well nice daily Jordan.Good morning all TFB’ERS and have a nice day.Will check back at lunch time for that BOOM————–Dam Germans!BOOMER!
SOONER!!
Metz!!!
Metz!
See you when we liberate the concentration camp!
The Ty Darlington deal is a good read. Happy he will still be connected to the OU program. I could see him becoming a great coach if that’s what he chooses.
Yep. He seems to have it together.
Hawk!!
Good daily, Jordan. You guys know how to hold an audience…last night.
Richard!!!
Morning. Beautiful morning even if there’s a little drizzle in
north Tejas.
Packed Daily Jordan, thanks!
Love that Charles walker is ranked as the best DT in the Big 12 despite all the time missed last year
Magic!!
17 DTG – No AA, but some good memories watching these numbers running arOUnd.
Jerry Anderson 75-76; Andre Wolfolk 98-02; Leon Crosswhite 70-72; Mossis Madu 07-10
Jerry gave his life helping a kid.
https://youtu.be/plqZNoC2mcg
Great story!
I had forgotten about this. Great to remember
Mossis, no sOUnd, but still sweet.
https://youtu.be/srGKT4zo154
The second catch on here by Andre was my favorite.
https://youtu.be/SPAdQ-qWQPs
One of the best catches I have ever seen! And when it happened I told my wife OU was going to win that game!
That’s when I knew it was our day too!!
I remember thinking this: catches like that win championships. I knew his effort would inspire the rest of the team for the rest of the year. Total concentration and not giving up.
Morning Sam!
Morning, Golf.
Knew which one it’d be before I saw it. That catch was amazing
That catch at the 2:06 mark was very special also. Robbery!!!
Assuming it was the circus catch against Nebraska in 2000 (sorry, I can’t get my video to play at work). That’s the catch I’ll always remember him for.
That was it JR
Loved the OU-Nebraska games.
I miss them!
Ditto!
When you look back that secondary talent wise was one of the best ever: Everage, O Jones, Strait, Thompson, Thatcher, Roy W…so good Wolfolk playerd WR and later DB…
Love to see Andre. Rare to see someone’s highlights include offense, defense and special teams.
Pretty amazing, as a 2-way impact-player, he never made AA.
He was a 1st rounder though
Right!
Thanks BC – great stuff as always!
Thanks Cush!
Bleed!!
Robbed. The only thing that receiver caught was emptiness. But, his follow through was picture perfect. LOL!
Sam – happy Sooner Wednesday. Hoping it’s more BOOM than just hump-day.
BOOM!, it will be.
Good morning
Morning, Dave.

Work work and more work, Dave. I really need a priority check. 🙂
Work is good considering the other option
Morning Sooner Family. Hope you all are a ready for a Boom Wednesday.
Jordan thanks for all the news updates.
would have been nice had it been a DT instead of a probably OLB….still room for a quality DT though, and OLB’s are needed, too…….
Good morning.
Good morning fellow Brainiac’s. “It’s another great day to be a SOONER” Going to try and go get me some edumication today. Shout out to #SS17, #ST18 and of course all you lurkers out there.

Good Morrrnnniinnnggg TFBBBBB!!! (Robin Williams voice)
I can’t remember who was asking but someone wanted to know who could be the next first rounder from OU. Since the NFL doesn’t rank RBs like they used to and Samaje is probably in the same draft as Fournette and Cook (which I think he is still better than both) I would have to go with Big Orlando Brown Jr.
Charles Walker if he continues to develop
It was me 🙂
I agree with Orlando or maybe even Walker if he progresses the same amount this year as last year.
Nice Ty Darlington blog post. Kid has great perspective; will continue to excel.
I read that article thinking, could I have written something like this when I graduated?? No. His perspective and maturity is on a higher level than mine was and I applaud him.
I see so many folks say, he got pushed around, he played cause he was a Sr, and he was only playing cause he was smart. Always frustrated me cause not everyone is going to play in the NFL. I may get ripped for this but he was and is an ambassador for OU. He will do more for OU off the field than some of the best did on the field.
Sorry for my rant but Go Ty.
So did we not really win the big12 last year and make the playoffs? Did TCU do all of the above? I get they will be good, but the fact they are receiving this much hype and love and somehow we’ll fall flat is just stupid.
Nah OU got lucky last year, plain and simple. Back up QBS, lots of turnovers, and the loss of Sterling Shepard add up to 3 more losses this year. Oh and the proverbial Stoops teams never live up to expectations.
/s all but the last part which is true
Ok Dave, just as long as I’m not the only one realizing these things 😉
…dang it dave.
Howdy Woofer. Don’t worry this year is different, they are going to win the B12 and “the whole d@MN thing” Tom Barringer from Major League
better. kind of like betty white eating a snickers bar.
Lmao
Dave, even with /s, we have the original SD to pee on OUr parade, so don’t waste the effort 🙂
That was the narrative all last season
Its the same hype Tennessee is getting.. expect a little more legit.
TCU has a great staff. They will be better than last year.
Get OU after the tOSU game super high or low + a Bye and at home..
That’s a OU trap game like no other..
Lots of unknowns on TCU but can’t sleep on any opponent.
I think Tennessee is deserving of their hype more so than TCU. They play in a weak division and hey return their QB. TCU better hope Kenny trill is as good as he thinks he is.
I dislike the Tennesse hype so much, 8 years or more since their last defeat of either GA, LSU,BAMA, or FL… for almost a decade they have been saying this is our year.
TCU is one year removed from the Peach blowout.
Cumbie/Meachem combo will make an offense that scores points regardless of whos under center.
Saying Tennessee has been hyped the last 10 years is beyond ignorant. They haven’t been picked to win the SEC let alone the SEC east in 10 years. The hype they got the last two seasons was completely unwarranted but this year they have all juniors and seniors and the depth to compete.
Until they get win against any of those 4 teams and remain ranked in any preseason poll or any poll throughout the season. Its overhype bs.
What the hell are you even talking about? Obviously they won’t play us again and LSU is garbage. So they have two games they “need” to win, Bama and Florida. Sure they haven’t beat them for a while but things have to change eventually. They remained in the rankings all last year and finished higher than they started each of the last two seasons. I really don’t think you have a valid argument whatsoever and you’re just providing a ridiculous statement when you say “until they get win against any of those 4 teams”.
FL,GA,Bama, and LSU
Until they get a win against those 4.. its overhype
Its been over 8 years!
Eight…
Why is this year any different.. that’s almost 3 full recruiting cycles.
They always had numbers of players coming back…
Fact is, Butch is on the hot seat.. 3 seasons and not a single win against any of the SEC best programs. Going into his 4th..
He has to get a win..1 win against those four or he’s gone..
Sure he’s got numbers coming back on D, a mediocre QB, and he has had his chokes against Bama/OU out of the way..
Maybe this is the year..But until that 1 win … its overhyped crap
Tennessee fans are pretty delusional.
How can they be overhyped when they’ve finished higher than they started each of the previous 3-4 seasons? I’m just not following. Maybe to YOU they need to beat those 4 teams but to anyone who can simply look at the numbers would suggest otherwise. Clearly you’ve got some vendetta against them.
No Vendetta.
What numbers?
the sub 60% completion QB or the coach that’s 1-16; .058 vs opponents ranked at time of game… What numbers am I missing?
I don’t see why you want to reward, predict, or jump on the bandwagon for a team that hasn’t beaten any premier programs from their league on the field in the last 8 years..
I guess its down to two different philosophies.
1) What they have done
vs
2) What they could do
They came from 21 down to beat UGA last year. That was the game that Chubb blew his knee in. Josh Dobbs went off on the dawg D in that one.
Ah!! My bad.. I see it. Thanks
I saw that Butch jones is 1-16 vs opponents ranked at time of game..
Was GA ranked at the time?
19th; same as we were when we played the Vols.
Tennessee is easily the most overhyped team in the country. That team has choked alot in the 4th quarter.
There’s another sec team called geogia; check them out.
Hey don’t rag on them for choking away fourth quarter leads – I really appreciated them doing it against us!!
They lost 4 games last year ( 2 against playoff teams ) by 14 points or less. That’s not being overhyped when they return everyone.
They still found a way to lose those games tho. I see 3 to 4 losses on their schedule this year plus they havent proven they cant beat Florida yet.
They return what, 19 people? Plus they are one of the few SEC teams to return their QB. That’s significant to say the least. I’ve got them winning the east, beating Bama in the regular season and losing to Bama in the SECCG
Tennessee needs to get through Florida first before i can even remotely consider them a contender.
Well they’ll beat floridas arse this year so when that time comes I’ll sit here like this ?☕️
And GA..
Nah, man, michigan is the most overhyped team in the country. Tennessee played 2 playoff teams, and were beating both deep in the 4th quarter. UM got dismantled by the suckeyes, and dont return a QB.
Michigan is definitely overhyped but they have a really easy schedule to begin with. I have them losing to Iowa , Michigan St and Ohio St.
Thats true, their schedule is a cakewalk. I could see them losing to all 3 of those, think those are the only ones they play with a pulse lol.
I think Ohio St will be really good towards the end of the season. For some reason i have Nebraska and Ohio St in the Big 10 championship.
huskers had a lot of injuries last year, if they stay healthy this year, they could make the big 10 title game.
Honestly I am confused as to how Washington is receiving so much hype. I get that they will be improved, but they finished 7-6 and now they r supposed to be a top 10-15 team?
That Pac 12 conference is legit. Washington could be really good and win the division but i could easily see them losing 4 to 5 games as well.
“That’s a OU trap game like no other” I would agree except that OU (coaches and more senior players) know that TCU is formidable. That’s the one missing item. And, if we escape the earlier games unscathed, I think the urgency in that game will be glaring (along with the RRR). The boys will be tested by then and ready to play (God willing no major injuries).
Good point.
We will know how good this team is in first 5 weeks.. UH,tOSU,TCU,and Texsa… That’s a hell of a 4/5..
If we win the first 5, there is no one standing in our way to our first undefeated season since 2000..
Agree. That’s a tough run, somewhat reminiscent of the 2000 season.
Yup,
2000 we had Texsa,Kst, Neb (all top 10), bailor, @texas a&M…4/5 hell of a run.
After that run everyone said,
Sooner magic
Big Game Bob
Championship
I think TCU is OUr toughest opponent this year. I still think OU can easily win the game.
They will be a tough out on the road. Their defense is always good. A one point win will suffice.
Well last years game would of been a blow out if Baker never got hurt so i can definitely tell you that Baker will be extremely motivated to smack TCU this year.
Great day for a BOOM. Just sayin’…
Can we get Bob one of these for the Texas game?
It’d make an outstanding visor!
Needs an update in the spelling of texsa before we give one to Bob.

Good read.
I thought so too.. I am so ready for the season to start.. lol
Good read.
Good for Malcolm Kelly, really wish him luck. I always think it is pretty nice when you hear about ex-players who become coach’s.
As for the Ty Darlington blog, it was interesting to here what he is up to. I’d like to listen to him, he mentioned he will be doing a show Tuesday’s with Toby Rowland and Ryan Broyles but didn’t mention a station and time.
Thanks Jordan for another good array of stories. Outside of football, I’m glad for the Mr. Robot renewal. I like the series for its strange manipulation of the lead’s perception of reality.
I liked how at the end of the first season of Mr. Robot it was revealed that his father was really Tim Kish.
Yes, but then he was fired on the spot.
Still admire your screen name – not too many physics sobriquets
Not sure about that. I hear he slows everyone down.
even this squid is expecting a boom today.
He looks more excited than Metz’s llamas.
Oracle – the llamas are SD’s relations so they can never be excited about OU.
burn….

hey guys, I’m from Cali and am flying to the game in Houston, have nosebleed seats but would like to possibly get better ones, anyone have any suggestions? know anyone selling? ticket exchanges? thanks
First, UH does not have a strong alumni and tons of students that dont go to games. Coupled with that and the down turn in the oil business, I expect there to be a lot of tickets available outside the stadium. I plan on buying mine there/then. FWIW>
When I look online, it seems like its almost sold out. How much do you think they’ll sell for on gameday?
Morning Woof. Hoe all is well your way.
Pretty sure the student section was filled for every home game last season. They also had a great number of students/fans at the peach bowl. Idk why this years game would be any different. My sister goes to UH and she said the entire student body is beyond hyped for this game and they also think they will roll us ( hopefully that plays well for us ) so I expect it to be packed.
UofH stats – Economically challenged is 40%. Total Enrollment with grad students is (round numbers) 40k. It is nearly 50% women to men. Ethnicity is all over the board. Average undergrad age is 22. 6000 kids live on campus. Houston is a commuter school.
Expecting it to be packed when it is sold out works for me. BUT knowing houston (having lived here since 1963), Many of the big purchases were done by oil companies, consultants (cant tell you how many tickets i have been offered) etc looking for entertainment value for clients. I expect OU to be well represented at the game.
U of H was allocated 5000 tickets for student purchases. I have not found how many were allocated for OU.

It’s 830 in Cali… Paging Mr Gumbs!
Tell him to look elsewhere because Mr. Chaisson will be committing soon
Mr. Chaisson better get onboard then.
hope you are kidding, of course. you don’t EVER tell someone as good as Gumbs to look elsewhere. I know what a lot of fans do; they look at how highly they are rated. Huge mistake. there are quite a few great players on our team right now that weren’t rated too highly (Walker, Mayfield). Just a few in the past too.
also, i guess you know a lot of these recruits visit here. hopefully, they are mature enough that the coaches know more about what they’re doing than the fans who visit this site.
Gumbs is a coaches son. He’s not only is he athletic but has a good understanding of football from his dad. Watching his HUDL never gets old.
didn’t know that. then he’s smart enough to know
I want both of them.
THIS^^
If the coaches want a player, I want that player, even if he doesn’t have as many stars. Coaches know a lot more than fans and recruiting services put together. We have no idea who is highest most times on the coaches’ boards. Nobody wanted Beal, know little to nothing about him, thought it was a wasted scholarship. I’m so pulling for that guy for that very reason. Already heard he’s a good one.
Nope

No way they would want to show this as they don’t even want Big 12 to expand so why give Houston the exposure.
USC vs Bama would of been my choice. How funny would it be be if LSU loses to Wisconsin.
We all wish that be true but that is just not going to happen.
Interestingly, if you are in the SEC, playing Wisconsin and shellacking them is a sure shot way of bolstering your SOS – signed Bama and LSU.
The BOOM must be coming from the west coast since it’s already almost 11 am and nothing yet. This is just killing me softly.
Well not this guyhttps://twitter.com/WhosThatGuy4/status/765935161397612544
Need a space between ‘guy’ and the address.
I just copied and pasted,is that why it does not show?
Hey it worked,thanks.
I believe the TCU game is the toughest conference game of the season like most do but then again will it really be that difficult? No questions their D will be stout with so many returning with experience but on offense they return only 3 starts since they already lost Nixon for the season. I understand their offense is a system but that is A LOT to lose. QB, RB, 4 of 5 OL.
I think I’m in the minority, but I agree with you offensively – I just don’t know how well that offense will do, and we get them mighty early on in the season
they didn’t have their stud WR or starting QB last year and we hung on for dear life to beat them. patterson will have them ready.
But, we had TK in there, too
Yep. Shouldn’t have been close.
2008 is the only time we’ve played them that they didn’t give us absolute fits. I fully expect a knockdown dragout, & if you tell me right now that we get out of there with a 1 point win I’ll take it & run so fast Usain Bolt’ll be eating my dust.
Howdy,no BOOM yet i see!
We were hoping you were going to bring it!
Only here for a moment,but it does not look like Chaisson
Metz,he may be going for a visit. You think he is committing?
Not sure
i posted his twitter.
Not it does not. James Hale had retweeted a bunch of Houston-related tweets from the coaches last night so I was leaning towards him. Then there were 4 CB’s of Gumbs to OU.
At lunch, drink the beer, leave the schnitzel – just sayin’
I wish they will be back after lunch,trying to squeeze in some TFB.
Reporting a boom alert early is keeping everyone on edge, but I guess it is a good way to get the post counts high.

Ha, just joking.

There’s a special place in hell for trolling like that.. Haha good one though
Metz will love you for taking his spot.
Man, you are in for it now.

Lmao
Ohhhhhhh, uh oh!!
If that had been me Sam would have already got me
You would’ve come close to the ban hammer.
Yep. Kidney punch plus permanent probation.
What are some good OU twitter accounts y’all follow outside of all the TFB guys? Ones that do stats, links, past pictures, whatever
https://twitter.com/Jordan_Esco/status/765940716656656384
I don’t see it. Why would they go to those places when they can have OU/tOSU? Its gonna be an instant classic. (unless we just plow over them by half a hundred)
That would make it an instant classic in my mind
Just saying, tOSU at OU is the only matchup of national championship winning coaches. I don’t think ESPN could even miss that.
ESPN & SECs Bell cow Bama will be Game Day with the Talented and rich history of the Runnin Rebels.
OU tOSU has a lot going for it. Two of the MOST successful programs, new stadium updates, $800 tickets, and a possibly historical game. I doubt that even ESPN would pass that up.
Ewe had better be in attendance
Since I don’t have tickets, I’ll be nearby and likely will check out Gameday, but probably not in the stadium.
that’s a fantastic saturday slate

right.. I still think they have to be better offensively but will be interesting either way.
It says he doesn’t have much of a track record of calling his own offense. I guess he might luck into a game plan, but I would wonder about in game adjustments, etc.
The dude who writes for the Texas TFB wrote an article about how they might install the offense that Baylor used in the bowl game. I guess people just think the system is totally unstoppable and had nothing to do with Briles beyond his initial conception of it. Gilbert hasn’t even called plays in the base system and the writer is already expecting him to be able to install a whole new package.
That’s pretty much my take, but I’ve been wrong before; got witnesses to that for sure.
yeah, but honestly I think all of us at OU felt the same way about Heupel and Kevin Wilson’s system. It worked great until it didn’t and Heupel didn’t know how to adjust it and adapt it but maybe Gilbert won’t have that problem.
Yep.
Yeah, its all a big question mark as is QB.
I think it says a lot about the current state of Charlie’s program that they had to enlist the school president to travel to Tulsa to entice him to come to Austin for only $900,000 per year. I doubt if the head coach at Tulsa makes $900,000 per year.
Looked it up. Tulsa coach makes 700K
Tulsa head coach is BRILES’ former OC – TU really should being looking for a HC. texsa is just so worthless that guys have to be bribed to leave a job working for Briles-lite.
No, I doubt it as well..
College gameday at LSU vs Wisconsin week 1. What a joke

A portion of the url address still reads: “quick-addison-gumbs-note.” No idea whether he has committed or will be committing, but it certainly looks like it is about A. Gumbs.
Nice detective work there Cabbage.
Last night Justin Broiles tweeted that the addition would be made. I trust him over Bob everyday
i don’t know what Bob is even saying in the link, thats why i asked if anyone knew. do you know?
No unfortunately. I am fairly confident he will commit today. Seems like click bait there
sounds about right.
Discus is really messing up today. It keeps deleting the Boom announcement.
Includes OU commit Creed Humphrey

He’s is one strong dude and still growing.
25 reps at 225 lbs as a 17 year old. Can you imagine what he will be like after a year or two with Schmidty? Straight up beast.
Looked like Marvin and Pascall are the only one’s that “fully extended” on their reps. Everybody else only went halfway. Probably wouldn’t have counted in the combine.
I saw that too. I never cointed mine unless I locked my arms.
Push-ups, pull-ups, bench press…reps only count if you “lock out.”
We have one in the fold and a real possibility of landing a few more…

am I the only one that forgets about Isaiah Thomas? I’m anxious to see how he looks this fall, sounds like he could be a real sleeper. If they land Gumbs and Chaisson it might be better for him if he can play DE for the Sooners though.
He is 6’5 240. Have him redshirt and get his weight around 270 to 280

Since we are still waiting on this Denzel sighting I thought maybe a little stadium update from last night would do us all some good. LED board looking much more complete from the back side now. Structural studs going up on the main structure too.

Esco with the teaser. I’d say this anticipated BOOM is coming SOON. Finally!

Well, first day of Senior year went good. It’ll be better with a boom tho..!
went well*
Lol, never change Dustin.
Too funny!
What’s up, J.r.?
Does that BOOM! meet your standards?
That’ll work just fine! How you doing, Sam?
It’s all good, J.r.
It’s all good. I just have this feeling that OU is going to turn it out on the field: recruits are going to want to join SS17 but there won’t be any available spots.
Get onboard now. Train’s about to leave the station.
It’s all good, J.r.

You’ve had this kid’s twitter page open all day, haven’t you?
Yep. I followed him into the bathroom.
Judge free zone
Creeper 😉
Yeah, but I was whistling “Boomer!” “Sooner!” as I washed my hands.
At least you washed your hands.
Yes. Yes, I did.
Target?
No. Chipotle.
I’ve heard Chipotle had that effect on people.
And there it is. Welcome aboard, young man!
BOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
Can you guys look into Spencer Sanders a dual threat from Denton? He has gotten 2 cb’s to OU from non OU guys in the last 2 days. 2018 kid.
TFB I just saw that former 5 star CB Kendall Sheffield is transferring from bama. Any chance OU goes after him???
