Lane! Sooners!
I was hoping Mixon wouldn’t be doing returns. Sigh
Rather see him than Perine doing it though.
I just hope we get rid of that stupid safe fair catch punt return!
As long as Sterling’s mom doesn’t talk to Baxter we should be ok. 🙂
Bull!
LOL! Good point Bull!
Golf!!!!
OU Football Metz!
Getting close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same for me. As long as there are still kickoffs in the game, make it a part of OUr game!
Ray
metz!
Morning Ray!
Mornin.
Neither should be back there.
If he needs to challenge McAfree for the all purpose yard record, can’t do that just running and catching. I say, we should put him in punt return as well, his start/stop speed is his asset.
He doesn’t need to challenge McCaffrey for all purpose yards. We just need to keep our guys healthy and win. You are more likely to get injured on KR than anything else. See Demarco Murray 2008. It probably cost us a NC. If he was healthy against Florida I think it’s a different ending.

You got my boys trophy and we want it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning Metz!!
Morning,Bleed.
Such a great moment!
76!
Metz!
His pick against TAMU was another great moment for him
Yes, and the Calmus block that helped him get into the endzone was awesome!
Completely legal!
Torrance was one of those guys you did not want to see coming at you if you had the football in your hands!
With so many great players who have came through the greatest University ever; It is sometimes hard to pick your favorite. But Torrence is way up there for me. And also is the Marshall kid who said Norman is the place to be, is he any relation to Torrence?
Torrance is high on my list as well. Too bad he never quite panned out for the Packers.
not aware Torrance is related to Lance or Everett ………..
Terrace Marshall Junior, is who i was referring to.
When the Packers signed him I was over the moon excited about it and thought we just got ourselves the next great one. It didn’t work out that way but he remains one of my all-time faves in Sooner history regardless. Huge play after huge play in the biggest of moments. Goosebumps!

FOOTBALL, Oscar.
SOONER! Morning Oscar! The shorthorns suck all the time and all the time the shorthorns suck!
Texsa extended their own record of suckiness with it’s 451,165 consecutive day of suck. (They began football in 1893)
Dave!!!!!!!!
Howdy Metz
LOL! Too much math this early in the morning. Morning Dave!
I used a calculator
Did you factor in leap years?
Yep I added 25 days but it shouldve been 29 or 30
Why work hard when you don’t have to. Use this:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=days+since+january+1,+1893
45160 days
It is exactly
123 years 7 months 23 days
6451 weeks 3 days
123.64 years
of Texsa suckage.
Thanks Oracle
yw, glad I could be of service to such an important topic.
These are the pressing issues of our time
737!!!!!!!!
Metz!!! BTW – did you know there was so much Texsa suckage that has lasted so long?
Yes i liked your math work!
Metz!!! BTW – did you know there was so much Texsa suckage that has lasted so long?
Does that include leap days
I left off 4 or 5 because i wasnt sure exactly how many
Good for Dom Alexander. I wasn’t impressed with Dom or J. Evans when they first signed, but I’m glad to say they’ve both made me eat my words and have proven to be reliable linebackers and great Sooners. I hope Dom makes the team!
He’s going to make the team. Considering Dom was thrown to the fire I was beyond impressed by his freshman performance.
Oh yea I was a fan of his early, just not real excited when he was being recruited. I think he’ll do well in Cleveland.

In honor of football season being around the corner. Curtis Lofton was a BEAST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXNlfuXvHA
Curtis Lofton!
Always loved the way Patrick ran the ball.
Anyone else see that Mike named Dakota Austin the starting corner for Houston?
Interview with Mike implied that Mike Stoops was hesitant to name anyone, but then mentioned Dakota as probable.
As everyone has read here for a while now 😉
It is obvious Mike Stoops comes to TFB to know who the starter should be.
Cooks wasn’t hesitant to single out Dakota.
clearly
The key is, he gets it FIRST here. 😉
Oklahoma defense utilizing Houston coach Tom Herman’s ties to Ohio State
http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2016/08/23/early-look-ahead-oklahoma-defense-utilizing-houston-coach-tom-hermans-ties-ohio-state
Michigan has lost commitments from a 4* OG, a 4* DT, and a 5* athlete in the past two days. Any chance we jump on any of these guys?
I doubt it at this point. Solomon is probably looking at staying closer to home in Georgia and I don’t seem him venturing outside the SEC.
Irvin is in about the same boat and is also from Georgia but there is more time with him since he is a 2018 guy.
Taylor is a long shot as well but IMO the only possibility of the 3. It looks like he is going Ohio St. He is also from Ohio.
McShay’s top DB prospects for 2017 #1-Jordan Thomas!
http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/insider/story/_/page/McShayPreDB2017/todd-mcshay-top-db-prospects-2017-nfl-draft-oklahoma-sooners-jordan-thomas
Wow, I’m really shocked that ESPN is giving someone outside of the SEC the number 1 slot, especially at corner.
McShay was hyping Tapper last year
Well tapper would have been a 2nd rounder had he played in a 4-3 system.
Cowboys got a steal
Wow, I’m really shocked that ESPN is giving someone outside of the SEC the number 1 slot, especially at corner.
I’ve seen there are a lot of scouts that are high on the Desmond King kid out of Iowa. A ton of them thought he would have been the first DB taken in the draft if he would’ve declared last year. Thomas has to be in the top somewhere with every scout, though.
I can believe that. Thomas made the biggest performance leap from his freshman to sophomore year. He was a totally different player. Not just play on the field. He physically changed his body.
1. Jordan Thomas, Oklahoma*
Grade: 91
Thomas tracks the ball well and routinely comes down with 50-50 balls. He
finished last season with five interceptions — one of which was
returned for a touchdown. He projects as an early-round pick because of
his combination of size (6-foot, 192 pounds), athletic ability and
instincts. But Thomas’ off-field decision making — two suspensions in 2015 and an arrest — deserves attention from teams.
10. Ahmad Thomas, Oklahoma
Grade: 63
Thomas rarely gets caught out of position in zone coverage, and he has more
than enough range to cover a deep half. But his lack of top-end speed
raises concerns about his ability to play centerfield in the NFL. And
because of his undersized frame (6-foot, 215), Thomas has trouble
bringing down bigger players in the run game or after the catch.
Quick should continue to learn DB and redshirt since it sounds like Thomas will be gone for sure
Junior college transfers fill hole left by Striker, other linebackers
http://www.oudaily.com/sports/oklahoma-football-junior-college-transfers-fill-hole-left-by-striker/article_9fd0a9cc-698b-11e6-b480-33d8bc6d5983.html
Love BStoops, but he is just being stubborn and truly dumb about using Mixon or Perine on kick offs. Losing Murray on returns cost us number freakin 8! Especially now with no Anderson! Perhaps he’s joking about Perine. but Mixon cannot be back there either. He is not fast enough.
He let AD back to return kicks too
I know returns are important, but NFL teams do not put it’s top RB or WR back there.
No doubt. If its a big spot in a game and they need a return so be it but other than that i dont want those guys back there either
Hunter, I get it. It concerns me, too. But, we’ve got to make teams afraid to kickoff and punt to us. If this team is afforded great field position, can you imagine what the offense will look like, how much better the defense will be if teams don’t have a short field?
I’m all for it. If you play scared, you’ll get hurt.
Sam with all due respect, I don’t think the players will be playing scared. BS and Jay B are not on the field. There is a reason why you don’t see stars doing it in the NFL! Besides Mixon is really not a burner IMHO…at least Murray had 4.3 speed and cuts…
No, no: I didn’t mean to say that you think the players are playing scared. I’m talking about Bob. I think when Murray got hurt, Stoops philosophy changed. He became conservative. OU hasn’t really been that great returning kicks and PRs.
I think Stoops has said that he is willing to roll the dice. We like “Riverboat Bob”, right? We like it when he says I’m going for it. This is what I meant by “intangibles” yesterday: Bob is allowing his team to be more physical than he has in years. He’s letting them play, tackle and hit. He’s demanded that they are physical every play. The intangible: the players are laying it on the line and taking on the attitude of their Head Ball Coach.
Wait Sam two years ago Alex Ross was being talked about an All-American! Last year, it was the blocking and Ross’ attitude. So, have to disagree brother. Hey if you are okay with Perine and Adams as our 2nd stringer by seasons end ok.
Ross did not have any vision. He’s going to work out for someone. But to be honest, he’s a FB with speed. He should be playing FB.
I trust the coaches. If they think that these are the returners that give them the best chance at success, I’ll live with the outcome.
Murray got hurt on an onside kick, not returning a kick.
The injury before the Florida game was on a KO return.
http://newsok.com/article/3330809
That was 2007 v TACO TECH-dislocated knee cap…Murray got hurt early in the Big 12 title game v Mizzou returning a kick…
Correct.
Nope!
When watching Mixon, I agree he doesn’t look Brooks fast, but when the players were asked who the three fastest guys on the team, it was Brooks, Westbrook, and a mix of other guys, Mixon being the most common name mentioned..
I’m not sure I can think of that many kick returners who have been injured and lost for the year. It’s all those other guys who get hit and aren’t expecting it. Kick off returns don’t bother me for the returner, it’s all the other guys on both sides of the return game who seem to get hurt.
One OU guy doesn’t “prove” it with me. I want to know how many Big 12 kick returners have been lost for the year returning kickoffs, or how many SEC kick off returners have been lost for the year returning kickoffs.
I have a busy day in front of me. I’m officially in lurk mode. Keep it lively and entertaining, as usual.
Get’er done Sam! We’ll forgive a one-day lurk.
Me too. I’m buried in dead databases that need recovery. Long frickin’ day ahead of me. At least this doesn’t suck as bad as Texsa. I’ve got that going for me.
That should always lift your spirit.
“At least this doesn’t suck as bad as texsa.” I think I also heard a guy saying that as he was riding on the back of a garbage truck.
No disrespect to our sanitation workers. You are appreciated.
And no disrespect to SoonerOracle. 🙂
I just think that’s a good line to remember no matter what a guy is mucking through.
Was reading up on Texsa QB situation and looks like coaches trust ole 18 wheeler more than the frosh. I really couldn’t care less I’m just so bored at Bella’s parents house lol.
I don’t think it will matter. Unfortunately, Strong has been painted into a corner: he can’t afford to give the keys to Buechele: lose today and win tomorrow. Strong doesn’t have that kind of time. Texas is going to take its lumps this year. They might play good on defense but they will need the offense to click.
So who is the QB? The little guy Heard?
No, the big buffoon Swoopes.
Well, he hurt us a lot with his feet. One thing they will not be able to pass the ball and win a game. Load up the box which MS didn’t do and force them to beat you throwing…
I agree that has to be the plan, but they have a couple of burners at WR this year. Think UT will be boom or bust with the passing game as long as Swoopes is the starter, which surprises me. I really expected it to be Buechele, but maybe he isn’t ready just yet. I’d be shocked if he isn’t starting by game 2-3 though.
From TFB’s scrimmage notes it appears Shane doesn’t react well to any amount of pressure. Should be interesting though.
“doesn’t react well to any amount of pressure…” reminds me of a certain favorite texsa QB by the name of Simms. lol
Let’s hope the similarities continue.
They have burners like Baylor…but if the ball can’t get to them accurately and on time…plus we can play 8 in the box with our DB talent this year.
I would love to see that.
We will leave our corners on an island to free up a man. If you can beat us throwing, then my hats off. Otherwise, we will stop the run IMO.
Lol, alright man. I’m actually hoping that’s what happens. It won’t, but I hope so.
I’ve lived in Texas for 30 years and you are so typical – it won’t. We played a lot of this last year so why wouldn’t we do again.
Believe it or not, I take being a typical Texan as a compliment lol. You’re not going 1 on 1 with Burt (13.91 100 hurdles), Duvernay (10.27 100m), and Johnson (6’6″) all day. That would be a very long day for you.
We went 1 on 1 with the dude from TCU and he’s a track star. Same with Bailor. Got to get the ball to them first. You guys definitely got some major speed with your WRs and an OC who knows how to use them.
There’s track speed and football speed. Many times people close to those with better track speed don’t play football as well as the one with the slightly slower track speed. Else, why don’t coaches ONLY pick guys who are the fastest?
Even if Swoopes starts against ND, don’t take that a sign of him being the season starter. Unless he plays like a Heisman, I’d fully expect Shane to start week 2, especially against a weaker opponent.
So running a 2-4-5 wasn’t the smartest game plan against a team that can’t throw? 😉
LOL. One of the more horrible game plans on record. It seemed like he was thinking, “Texas sucks, so let’s experiment a bit and see how this works.”
He saw what TCU was able to get away with the week before ( because of injuries ) and decided to duplicate that game plan.
You can make that mistake if you want to…
I know, it’s gets me giddy 🙂 I hope I’m completely wrong about believe strong will figure it out in time! I want to slaughter them!
I think Strong is building a monster and am worried again this year. Fortunately, I have Houston, tOSU and TCU to worry about before then.
24-0 to Iowa st. Im never worried about our opponents. If OU shows some effort this year , OU will blow texsa out the building.
yep. uterus players have had so many position coaches the last few years that theirs heads are spinning with instructions.
I doubt it. A rather HUGE problem with our team last year was a lack of offensive identity. Hell, we even switched schemes during the season. That hurt us bad. But from what I understand, everybody has bought into, and loves the new system. The OL loves the physicality of the ZBS, the RBs and WRs love the pace, and even Swoopes has been reported to have developed under the new simplified route tree. And on defense, yeah we got a new DB coach, but we’re running the same thing we ran last year, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Oh please, who cares?
I don’t understand the logic behind bringing up ISU but not the RRR. It’s almost like y’all blocked it from your memories… ?
Yes, he is. But he might not be around to see it. If it were me, I’d play Buechele, knowing I’m going to lose this year, while I’m grinning with glee of what it will be like next year.
Unfortunately, he won’t have the time. If he loses, he’s done.
Just like the Vols are building a monster?
I think You mispelled predator
or like the perpetual “team on the rise”. 🙂
His replacement will have plenty to work with
Honestly, I doubt that would be the logic behind that decision. More than most pundits have us losing that game anyway, so I doubt it’s a matter of Strong being too afraid to lose to play a FR. If, in fact, Swoopes does start, I would think it’d be to see what ND is doing on D before he puts Shane in. Her essentially be using that as an opportunity to get a little extra prep for Shane. Remember, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain in this particular game. He’s not going to get fired for a week 1 L.
I see what you’re saying. But ND is going to be a physical team. I don’t think he’ll lose his job after one loss, but the boo-birds will start warming up early if the boys don’t put up a fight.
I fully expect us to compete. Barring unforeseen events, I seriously expect this to be a competitive game this time around. For once, we actually have an offense suitable for the Big12. But because of ND’s physicality, I think that’s why Charlie might want to start out whith Swoopes.
I’m really interested to see how S.Gilberts offense works out. UT has the athletes, just needs someone who can run that attack. If Buchele is the guy, then UT could suprise some folks outside of the area.
Very interested indeed. This offensive system has not been paired with a defense as talented as UT. This could be a lethal combo between packaged RPOs O and a playmaking defense on the other side. The teams that ran this O system did not have the quality of players on the other side of the ball and they needed to score 40 to win.
TCU is really good but they still don’t get the playmakers on D that an OU or UT can pull in.
If this pans out for UT, it really could reshape the cfb landscape as far as this offense being used for the top programs in the country.
Everything in football is copy cat.
Exactly, Charlie just following what we did with Linc, imagine the Red River being a shootout??? It’ll be nice to see both teams go in with zero loses, bring some much needed attention back to that game and away from the SEC. Speaking of which on ESPN CFB Live they were talking about both Hurts at Bama and Buchele at UT starting as freshmen, WHY did they only show highlights of the Bama kid during the whole segment??? I swear that network sucks donkey, you know what.
It would be beneficial if the administrators publicly support Strong. It would be a good business decision.
It’s going to be marvelous 🙂
I don’t want him to get fired. Personally, I’d like UT to get to about 9-4 and keep him. I think Bob can out recruit him TX. The longer they keep him the longer it is before UT gets a coach that’s real good imo.
However, having said all of that, I have friends who are on the UT team and very good friends with the whole family, and THEY tell me that the players have an “entitlement” attitude once they step on campus because of the atmosphere of the school and I think it might always be hard for UT to have a great, great football team b/c of it.
It’s like, “Hey, we’re the best football players in TX and TX produces the best football players in the world, and you shouldn’t be competing with us b/c we’re good. Don’t you know that?”
Wow! That’s an interesting take: texsa signees think they are the best of the best in the state of Texas.
Good points and makes a lot of sense. I could see Shane on the sidelines with either headphones or a coach letting him know whats going on and how to attack it. Again, good perspective.
I heard no 18 will play WR!
I don’t know who is number 18 but Heard ( kid who ran all over us last year ) will be switched to receiver and the big boy ( Swoopes ) will stay at QB. He’s the one who ran the belldozer package and they called it the “18 wheeler” package.
ok.
Tyrone or is it Jarrod?
Tyrone, believe it or not lol
Didnt Charlie forget Tyrones name a year or two ago?
ND can score…I expect ND to crush them. LOL is right. He can’t hit a bison on the backside with a brass fiddle or something like that!
Well I’m laying less than a Field goal so I hope ND wins that game. I think they will be a really solid team.
Yeah Swoopes the bigger guy. Can’t throw a pea in the ocean but is like VY.
Didnt Huepel recruit him pretty hard
Yeah when we were trying the read option nonsense.
He was actually a 5 Star recruit heading into his SR year. We actually recruited him over JT Barrett… JT F***in Barrett… ?
He can run the ball, but he’s no Watson and I am over freaking joyed that he’s the QB.
He’s not even comparable to Watson, maybe Heard if anybody, but Swoopes isn’t that type of QB. And like I said, even if he starts against ND, don’t expect him to get comfy in that spot.
Talk about a whiff for both schools
Mack also declined to recruit Jameis Winston… He really lost his way near the end.
We like you chiming in but it’s real close to game time…get my drift Boomer!
I get it.
Honestly, it’s one of those situations where it really doesn’t matter who starts, because both guys will play. No one knows for certain quite yet, but despite nearly every report having Shane ahead of Swoopes in just about every category but size and arm strength, there’s still rumors of the staff wanting to start with Swoopes. Then again, it could all be a big smoke screen to keep Brian Kelly from zeroing in on a single game plan. Quite honestly, I’m leaning toward the latter.
I like how you said both will play, not that they can play…
Lol… I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
I wouldn’t doubt it at all. In the Baylor system you need a QB who can throw a 9 route and a slant route, that’s about it, plus be slightly mobile…. Either way I hope we bring pressure and make whoever is playing QB beat us rather than the two hosses you have in the backfield.
If Shane is what he’s been billed to be (an accurate, decisive QB), I think he’ll be just fine in this system, especially with the amount of talent he has around him.
The one thing I’ve learned about Brian Kelly is that he’s going to do what he does best. I really don’t think he’s going to game plan based on who the QB is going to be. Nope, it’s going to be here’s what we do, now stop us if you can.
Interesting observation about Kelly.
He was the same way at Cincinnati. I remember when he brought his team into Norman and all he had was a QB and a receiver but he managed to keep it close until they ran out of gas.
I would start the freshmen. You already know what you’re getting out of the other two. It may be strongs last year. Strong has to see what the freshmen does on the field. Buchele might be a baller but the only way you know that is if you play him. Once you do play him, you stand behind him all the way.
I agree with you Birddawg. You can’t have those qbs worrying about being replaced after any potential mistakes. I say ride or die with the frosh! Lol
Here’s the thing, I don’t think they’re worried about that. One good thing I can say about Swoopes is that he has an amazing team first attitude. He’s willing to play whatever role he needs to if it’ll help the team win. And everything I’ve heard about Shane says the same. I think throughout the season you’ll get more and more of Shane, and I think he’ll play most of the snaps against ND even if he doesn’t start.
That’s the way I see it, too.
Strong has recruited like a superstar (plus had help from Bailor) and, if he can just get a serviceable QB, will have the program turned around by next year, IMHO.
I don’t like what I see there. He’s beaten us 2 of 3 (and arguably should have been 3 of 3) with total shyte on offense. What will he do with talent? It scares me.
This is only his third year, so he 1-1 against ol Stoops. But I think since he’s severed his old loyalties and actually caught up with the rest of the conference on offense, we should be alright. Let’s not forget, Sterlin Gilbert has a penchant for quick turn arounds.
Good point. I forgot that ole yeller teeth got the victory in his last year. Ouch. That one really left a mark. I’d blocked it out.
Lmao… I don’t blame you. I’ve pretty much blocked out any game Chris Sims started agains OU.
It’s going to be fun talking football with you, Unofficial.
This has easily been the longest off season of my life!
It was fast for me. I didn’t feel the hankering to watch a recorded game from last season. I can delete them now.
Well I’m glad you could lay off the ‘stuff’ because I’ve definitely watched every game we played last season at least 3x except the Akron game this off season lol.
That was insane. What a deal with the devil, when you had a red-headed winner on the sidelines. I was thrilled that he rarely saw the field.
I can’t quantify my levels of pisseditude during that season.
You know I’m going to give you a shot every now and then so here it is for the day. How in the heck can you get 2 YOUNG OL on the Big 12 team? They’re to young. 😉
They were FR AAs last year.
but but, we’re young. My point is proven and they were very good players when they stepped on campus and that’s why some of the others may have transferred or accepted the role of depth. Good job of recruiting.
Pardon me, but I’m lost. What was your point?
you get it.
I’m not lying, I’m totally lost. I’m trying to keep up with like 8 convos right now.
You are positioning UT as being to young (excuse) and 17 will be the year. My point – Young players make up college football. Reason, if you are good, you’re gone after 3 years. If you are there for 4+, you may be phased out with a younger player or you have already transferred. You have 3 sophs who will be potential AA. Swoops is a JR or Sr and he will be replaced by a true freshman. Why? He’s better.
I wouldn’t use the word “scared” to describe how I feel, but I do agree with you. UT is closer to being really good then they are to be being bad. He gets decent QB play, they are a 7-8 win team, I think, at worst. He improving the defensive talent every year, and they’ve already had good defensive teams in the recent past. OU fans should know that better than anybody.
I’m just hoping we can have a season that we can build on for next year. I would like to see where we’ll be with a full season of the V&S and a team of experienced veterans.
I’m completely with you, I’d go with Shane too. But what I think people are leaving out is that Shane is still going to play. No matter who starts, both will play, so it really doesn’t matter who starts.
It definitely matters to the people writing the checks….
I’ll take a coach that goes with his gut over the ever changing feelings of boosters any day of the week. And let’s be honest, the money ain’t going anywhere. And once we actually win a few games, those voices will fall silent.
Can any of you fine folks give me your opinion on the Sooner Sports TV package? TIA
Jordan and I were talking about it this morning on twitter. I am cable free (except roku) so I don’t get Fox Sports SW and miss the coaches show and other things that may be a premium on SoonerSports so I still subscribe during the season only. It’s also a good source to watch the game over again relatively quickly. There are a few shows on there that are worth it but now that replays are more readily accessible via the internet it is becoming more an more of something that I go to less and less. I’ll still subscribe this year but I’m not sure after that. If you have Fox SW available I’d say not worth it but if you don’t I’d say you’ll get your $10 a month out of it.
If you have access to Foxsports OK it is much more robust than Fxsw. Many more shows/ repeats. I am in houston and cant get Fxok. But the show line up is view-able and it irritates me that Dish and Direct wont let me get it for a $$.
IF you can record it via FXSW then it would about equal to FXOk.
Can anyone tell me who it is that spends $350 on head phones. I love the concept of Clayton’s headphones but man they are not cheap.
A lot of people, hence the reason Dre Beats sold for what, $450 million?
Beats are a social status ( with kids mostly) is why they did and have done so well. I have a pretty much the complete line of beats in my house hold. I think some are better then others. I think Clayton will have a little difficulty with his selling point. I wish him all the best and hope he does well.
I hope he becomes a billionaire and then give OU a ton a cash. 😉
He just needs to sell it to Nike and make a killing.
Yeah, most headphones today (especially Beats) are more about status and style than audio quality. I got a nice pair two and a half years ago for under a $100 that’s significantly better than anything Beats makes, and they’re still going strong. I’m not an audiophile by any means, but if you’re actually interested in audio quality, a quick google search should be more than enough to find a better value than beats.
I agree that it appears to be social status. I am an old guy and when I was bought my headphones, I tried to perform enough research to make it a more logical solution. I went with Sennheiser and don’t regret it a bit. But, I am not going to buy a house full of headphones, either.
I think it’s awesome and if they stay on and work better, he’s going to kill it. $350 is not a bad price.
Yeah, Beats headphones are right around that same price point and they are garbage. So, if these work as advertised, he should do pretty well.
I never could understand the Beats craze when you could buy AKG K-44 at guitar center for 100$. Although the akg are bulkier you do get studio sound quality
Exactly! You can get far better quality for much less. I think it just comes down to what Katyboomer said, “it’s a social status item.”
I agree. I have 2 son’s that have beats. But always asking to use my akg’s for their laptop’s
I didn’t understand buying $300 neck warmers either.
Sennheiser’s have been the leader of music producing quality for the ears for decades.
For me, between old ears and MP3 audio, anything over $100 is a waste.
You have to consider the value they bring, what people are looking for in a headset when they are exercising. It sounds like Clayton has solved a problem from personal experience. He’s solved what he think is a gap in the technology. You have to like that. I’ve always believed that if you’re sitting at the dinner table and say “these are great but wouldn’t it be nice if…” that you should get up and run with your idea.
I don’t want to be a debbie downer here but Clayton has been working on this idea for several years. Technology is going to outpace his idea and the big companies can easily close any feature gap he may have identified. There isn’t anything there to patent so I’m not sure he will get any traction.
Well, he did actually file a patent, so he has some leverage there. If they catch on, worst case scenario is Nike or UA or Beats writes him a 7 or 8 figure check rather than doing their own R&D.
While Stax is only marginally involved in mobile phones, I’m posting this just to give an idea of the market scale for high end audio gear.

Sennheiser, AKG and a few others will also sell you HP’s in this price range – and sell them they do.

I wonder if we will try to het in on him? I know that we were in the thick of it while recruiting him.
He’ll probably end up at ASU.
I thought the same thing, but hey, it could happen.
I dont know how many times I gotta block this chick with the roommate and her $98 an hour, but its getting annoying.
And i dont see her!
KJ, you know your identity was revealed the other night?
WHATTTTTTTT Do tell
Well it was narrowed down to 2 options:
1. Kish Jr (AKA KJ)
2. KJ is Barry Switzer and you are drunk Barry Switzer, hence you and he are the same person.
Haha It was??? On twitter?
Apparently not!
No, but we figured out you and Metz are same person, Barry Switzer. You are sober Barry, he is drunk Barry.
Hmmmmm ok
Don’t get your feelings hurt, I didn’t say it!
Everyone loves drunk Barry anyway!
I can only hope to grow up and be as cool as Metz!
HA!Thats funny
Now, there is some flattery! You looking to borrow the vette or get a date in Lubbock?
edit – fat finger typing
Cush im pretty sure he forgot the /S
Naw, you are the west-texsa role model for all young Sooner fans.
I wonder how bobble-head-right-eye girl is doing?
Hot women, Corvettes, Germans, LUBBOCK…I mean come on.
Sure! It’s all there…along with dust, sand fleas, and Kliffy – Metz is the lone bright spot in that wind-blown place.
Well Doc is here also!
You’re a chick magnet for those $98-an-hour girls, KJ. It’s your burden to carry.
El Oh El.
I’m sure this photo has been floated around but good lord this fool is massive! ?
DEE-(O) BO
LOL would have been great if Obo,Walker,Smallwood,Perine were the captains
We need to send out the baddest mofos on our squad for the coin tosses! Lol
Just go ahead and start sending Brey out for them now.
That dude is going to be a top 10 pick when he’s done at OU. He’ll follow the path of big daddy Trent, Lane, Orlando brown and Samia in being first round tackles in the stoops era 🙂
I am utterly amazed that a kid who is barely old enough to drive can look like that
I’m going to tell him you called him a fool and he will find you.
I am offended that this thread has turned into texsa sucks talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if you’d quit lurking then,
Not lurking but geezzzzzz i leave for 30 mins and its all texsa qb talk!!!!!!!!
I know. I thought we were rivials.
Right!!!!!!
We’ll be rivals when they’re good again 🙂
Bazinga!!!!!
…thx in advance for the loan,.
mmmmmmmmmmm Thats better!
My girl
Yep. I care zilch about Tejas. I hold them only in slightly higher regard than Bailer. Hope they lose every game. They seem to always have “great” recruiting classes 90% of who become “recruiting mistakes” by the time their seniors.
What can I say, people tend to like me. ?
Well your ok and unofficial!
*you’re
Well F$#%$%^$#%^

Hey KJ – THEY spell it t-e-x-s-a, so they probably think your is the same as you’re.
Very snappy.
The week of the game should be fun if you pop in here. I’m sure well drop by the orange board too.
uhhh, NO. Some things do not wash off. Like when I became a blue nose in the Navy. Marine paint and burnt orange are very similar in that regard!!!
It’ll be organized….everyone meet here lets say on Monday….and on the count of 3 we all go over and spam their board with “TEXSA SUCKS” and then come back 🙂
I like it we all just use texsa Sucks and nothing else.
LOL
I’m down
Typical shorthorn….delusional. (Just kidding).
Nothing wrong with scouting the enemy
I’m offended that you’re offended!
https://twitter.com/OU_Football/status/768450117787541505
Not sure if the full video has been posted yet or not, but I sure wouldn’t mind him having a double digit sack season like Big Orlando predicted in the video!!
This is one of the biggest questions on D for me. I think we’ll get adequate play out of the LB’s in terms of stopping the run, and in pass coverage. The question is, will we be able to get pressure when they blitz like we did last year? Will we have to blitz more guys to get to the QB? Be interesting to see how that plays out with Striker and Bond gone.
I’m honestly more excited to see Obo play this year than anyone else. I think that he will have a great season when rushing the passer. Him keeping outside containment is what I’m going to be watching closely. If he can keep the runner to his inside then he will do great. Gallimore is the other player that I’m excited to watch.
Just my opinion, but I think Obo will not have an issue with getting after the QB. His problem tends to be assignment based which would hurt more in run stopping and coverage. He has been known to be in the wrong spot giving up long run plays.
That’s certainly been his history. He seems to bite on the zone read. Hopefully, he’s past that now.
Good thing is that he has had a full year to work on getting to know his position.
Based on the practice reports, it sounds like a defensive front has the potential to be very disruptive this season. When you can penetrate up the middle, the outside pressure feasts.
You know, I haven’t seen near as many comments regarding “concern” for coach Thib’s as I have in years past with new D-line coaches. We all seem to be pretty confident in his abilities to coach these kids up.
classic love affair with most new coaches. True colors will be revealed once the love affair wears off (reads as season progresses).
and when the trollers come out of their caves at first sign of any issues.
Thibs is coming into a good situation where he has a lot of experience on the DL. This give him some flexibility with his rotations. Good timing for him.
It’s been really interesting to see. I’m not doubting the guy, but it seems as though he got a hall pass just because he’s a former Sooner standout.
He showed up with his “I am a Sooner, through and through” hall pass.
BAM!
lol
I am surprised too, my brother has worked with him on camps and such, and says the offers he made at TU, (brother a HS coach, so workouts and so forth) he apparently still the same guy and people really like him.
But I do miss Monty.
Monty could recruit, but have his guys produced?
Nope.
Sure doesn’t seem like it
I questioned his credentials when he was first hired. Wasn’t sure he was ready for the big time. But once he was hired no reason to not trust Bob and give him a chance to prove himself.
Have any of my fellow TFB people seen this ESPN the Magazine issue?
I should have added that I’m in CT, so this regional cover won’t be on sale here.
Seen it at my local Firestone this past weekend. If you’re looking for a copy I will keep my eyes open and message you if I happen to come across some for sale
Thanks, Josh.
No. I don’t own a bird. LOL!
I refuse to worry about anything that hasn’t happened. I don’t know. You don’t know. Nobody knows. At this point, all the players can do is prepare. Let’s wait and see what happens.
I refuse to worry about anything after it happens. Only the things that are correctible deserve my attention. If I can fix it, worry about it. If I can’t, don’t worry about it.
I refuse to worry, ever.
I’m worried about you.
Im worried that you’re worried that Sam doesn’t worry.
Im just worried
Endless, isn’t it?
See how that works. He needs to sign up for my seminar.
Ah! I smell a money maker! Also following TFB having a texsa branch, Sam, you need to have seminars for worried texsa fans – that will be a never ending stream of customers!
I will charge him large amounts of cash to tell him how to fix his problem that can’t be fixed.
Perfect! You have perfect understanding of the seminar and consulting businesses.
All that’s left to do is to find a catchier name other than “Grasshopper” for my business cards.
“Oracle” usually works. Gets their attention.
See how this can get out of hand?
Beats the hell outta texsa talk
Or Hallmark movies
And you should: I can be fixed.
So since you refuse to worry, but only worry about things you can fix, does that mean you cant fix anything???
There’s the crux: it’s not so much as worry as it is sticking with it. LOL!
If you can fix it stick with it. If not, it’s beyond repair. At that point, you have to start the search for your next victory.
But I guess hat means I good, right? I never have to fix anything. Man, I’m good. LOL!
Great advice Sam!
What’s up, Soonerbred?
My body temp. I just came in the house from the heat. I’m a victim of forced labor from my wife!
Yeah. I hear that’s very contagious. I’ll catch you later, bro. You know, I need space. LOL!

I’ve seen Metz do this a time or two.
Art…is that you? New helmet?
To somewhat paraphrase Kipling – If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
Then you probably don’t understand the seriousness of the situation.
Bob are you being a lurker? Blurker?
Started new job. Being pretty busy these days.
Ahh congrats sir!
Hey, there, Bob!
What a way to make a grand entrance. Ura Hogg asked about you the other day.
Don’t have the access at work I did at the old job or as much time. Posting from my phone now so can’t post as much.
Hope the new job is going well and more interesting for you. We’ll be pleased with any posts, but we understand you are limited.
Sneak a peek when you can, sir. You have been missed.
Howdy Bob, I know that I’m not a long-timer exactly, but you’re one of the regulars that has a lot to contribute. It’s always good to have you on TFB. Boomer Sooner!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m still here I just may not post quite as much over the short term.
“My left flank is wavering, my right is collapsing, the center is unsure. The situation is excellent, I shall attack!”
At my age, and the YEARS of watching OU, I dont know anything till after the Texsa game.
And last year, we got fooled by that game. Apparently, we also got fooled the other way by the oswho game (based on Clemson).
One game at a time…then TFB.
Something that needs more discussion today is texsa SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Ohio State fans are not messing around. Apparently they are going to be here in the masses and ready to party. They rented out Seven47 on Friday night for a closed buckeye party. They also rented out the ENTIRE LLOYD NOBLE CENTER for their pre game party on 9/17 in Norman.
Closest thing that rivals this is Oregon in 04.
Sounds like the fans mean business….Let’s hope their football team isn’t as jacked up.
Mike i always wanted to tell ya that your brother Darrell was one of my fav players back in his day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPmxE9hyRvk
CcrBoomer…….Darrell was an awesome player and is my Sooner Brethren, but he’s not my brother. Our daddy’s obviously had the same last name though!! 🙂
For reals? I was going to park there, forget it i’ll uber.
That’s impressive to say the least.
mind sharing where you heard this?
http://www.niemanlab.org/images/bleacherreport.jpg
Do you have a link?
Sorry Bird I was being sarcastic
Lol! gotcha.
That went over my head… I was searching bleacher report like where the hell is it! haha!
HAHAHAHA!
I had a buddy go to the sooner athletic thing last night where the coaches spoke to fans and he heard it there. So I did some interweb recon and found this. https://www.osu.edu/alumni/activities-and-events/events/2016/buckeye-bash-at-oklahoma.html
It appears that the alumni association is staying at the embassy suites on meridian and not in Norman.
Our alumni association is helping. It is probably a trade off for next year in Columbus.
“interweb recon”.. ha! Nice!
Again there are several rooms that hold large groups. Doubt it’s “the entire LNC” or even a gym.
Love to see visiting teams make it a special event. Let’s hope their “joyful” celebration is only before the game. Hope they have a good time but not too good of a time.
I’d like the score to be like Ducks in Norman.
Don’t sell your tickets unless they bleed crimson.
Let’s send them home very disappointed.
There are several large rooms that they can/might use. Doubtful it’s the “entire” Lloyd Noble center. I’ve been in 1 room that easily held 200 people plus the staff for the camp of maybe 35…
https://twitter.com/BPrzybylo/status/768268429983834112
Mixon on KO returns? ehhh. Brooks maybe, but not mixon.
With Mixon I normally would agree with you except for the fact that he may well be gone after this year. That being the case, with his skill set give him as many touches as possible including KO returns. I would love to see him be able to fulfill some of his potential while still wearing the crimson and cream.
If anderson wasnt hurt, id agree. Thats a lot to ask of adams if mixon gets hurt though.
Maybe so, I just think if this is going to be a NC run, you gotta roll the dice somewhere along the way to get your best talent on the field as much as possible.
I dont disagree with that. Maybe go with baxter for the 1st 2 games though, and if he cant get you the results you need, maybe toss mixon in there for the ohio state game.
Gambles are ok, but they need to be calculated.
I assume the “first game is ppv” will not be happening this year? They couldn’t get away with that for Houson game. Must be moving ppv to lower profile game two?
Yep – “Xactly”
The only game that will be PPV is the LA-Monroe game. Similar to prior years.
I wish OU had a all white alternate uniform.
Me to I saw Nebraskas and thought they looked great.
yup.
I like what I read about Wren. Good kid, hard worker. Hope he gets a chance to make his mark.
https://twitter.com/soonergridiron/status/768475432563908608
Evans needs to get quicker
I love the call to go for 2 points and the win usually, but this was such a terrible decision from Patterson. I went nuts when Parker made the play. He’s gonna be huge this year.
From the 1st half to the 2nd half melt down, it should’ve never come to this one play or decision.
TKPK6.
TK9 missed so many chances to keep drives alive oh and threw a terrible INT too
Love the kid but that was one of the worst, most embarrassing performances I have ever seen by a D1 QB.
Yeah it was prett bad. Good luck to him at Aggieville
Well, he didn’t play well but he threw several good passes that were flat dropped for 1st downs. A lot of players played poorly in 2nd half.
Ill have to re-watch the 2nd half because what i remember is him missing some very easy throws badly.
I mean should be easy for a D1 guy especially at OU or the like
Unfortunately, this is true. He looked like a high school guy, not even a college freshman…or maybe someone who didn’t actually play football.
It was head-shakingly bad.
It’s what you call scrambled eggs. His mind was fried and the two were not working together. It’s like watching a golfer choke, the body does some weird stuff when you choke. It’s uncontrollable.
The Van De Velde
Exactly. You try but the muscles tighten and you can’t control it. I’ve seen it in golf and it’s happened to me too. No one is immune to it which is why there are sports psychologist’s.
OU second quarter vs USC
No doubt. He threw some short throws so hard that even Shepherd even dropped one and just stared at Trevor. C’mon bro, I’m 10 yards from you – don’t throw it 100mph.
I do remember seeing Lincoln Riley with a look of “sigh, are you serious”
Everyone in the stadium had that look…even Patterson.
Riley couldn’t believe what was happening as he was giving him plays for easy pass completions. It was just one of those days.
Yeah but they won inspite of that
Kid needed a Valium before the game. TK was a great practice player but just got to amped before games
He had a very bad “tightening sphincter” problem.
You make a great point. There is a major difference between a practice player and a game player especially at QB. They know what they can do in practice cause due to doing it over and over. Game is totally different animal and causes bad decisions.
It’s the only thing that make sense from the Sugar Bowl. I think a Bama fan spiked his drink with a downer, and it back fired and just brought TK into chill mode.
The game would’ve been a blowout if Baker played in the 2nd half.
Yep.
I agree +1
Couldn’t believe he did it. With how poorly we played the second half, he should have taken it to OT and let fate decide it. If it had gone to OT, and someone had asked me to put money on who wins, I’d have had to say TCU
I was in the section right by where that play happened. The stadium went absolutely WILD! Definitely my favorite memory from an OU game (and I was at the Samaje Perine vs. Kansas game).
OP———————–
Careful!! That looked like something it shouldn’t till I refreshed to get the pic. You’re living on the edge, bro.
Not even close Slim!!!!!!!!!
You go metz! lol

We have obviously heard a lot about Wilson, and a good deal about Rogers, but what do we know about Watts?
word from the TFB was it sounded like they had backed off him a bit for some reason
Interesting. Doesn’t seem that we would have that luxury. ha, but I am by no means a football coach.
Pretty hilarious after last year’s close call for his job, but I saw somebody chose Less Miles as a coach of the year candidate in their preseason predictions.
In nickel packages Jordan Evans is our smallest starting linebacker at 235 (with Tay and Obo). Remember where our linebacker corps was 3-4 years ago and… let… that… sink… in.
That should help slow down some RBs. Bring the boom and lessen those missed tackles!
Tavon Austin remembers.
Ouch! Very painful memory that one!
That one was hard to watch. I honestly remember watching and not even worried about the outcome because it was just terrible football. Glad we won though.
LJ was money. Austin was frightening.
Lol. He was Landry I dunno about magnificent but we won and he threw it a lot.I guess I’m just not a big fan of that style of play.
Landry Jones 38/51 554 10.9 6TD 1INT 95.8QBR
Exactly. I’m not a fan of throwing it 50+ times. This game was one where Landry did actually score touchdowns which is nice because all we had was the pass and I hated not scoring. You know your offense is a disappointment when you’re mad at the kicker.

Too bad it wasn’t “only Official Visit”
I was thinking the same thing.
I thought that too until I remembered how nice all expenses paid trips are.
Oh no i understand
I wasn’t being an ass, I’d love for them all to only have eyes for OU and have to remind myself I’d take the free trip too. I do wish our conference had better college towns.
Didnt take it as you were.
I would like to see many #SS17 members take an official visit for this game and try to bond with the other HUGE recruits that plan to attend. Marvin Wilson, Greg Rogers, etc.
I don’t expect you’ll be disappointed with regards to who will be in attendance for this one. Assuming, of course, expectations remain reasonable. Which I understand is rarely, if ever, the case when it comes to recruiting 😉

What the heck is going on up there?
Get Abdul Adams in that dudes ear!
I was wondering that same thing. Something fishy is going on in Ann Arbor for several players to either bolt or be pushed out in a short amount of time.
Depends, why was suspended for first. He got suspended and then wanted to quit. What happens the next time, if he’s a slow learner? Does he quit again?
Jordan, startin to get a little slow in here so go ahead and put out the OP. 😉

HMMM texsa open is up!
Is that an O P or an Open SUCK? From what I hear (I refuse to get oranged – verb or what happens when one is texsa slimed) all 7 posters will rack up nearly 60 posts before it’s time to open the Chardonnay.
OOO no i didnt go there i got it off twitter!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan Anthony has OU in his top 3. Anthony Hines you better secure your spot very soon.
He’s set up an official with OU. One of his 3 OV’s! He is now #70 on Rivals.
Who are the others? Michigan? ?
Well if it happens———————–
… Open post please!!!!
ok YALL are slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the sound of Brooks and Adams returning kicks. It would have been even better with Anderson back there. Throw in some Mixon or Mykel Jones and man that could more than salty.
Baxter at PR is also a great decision. seems to have good hands and makes quick decisive cuts.
Really hoping for a true return game this year. If we get some real help in our returns that will make our offense much more dangerous.
good article on wren……….hope he succeeds big and bobby rewards him with a scholly

He’s definitely not afraid of contact.
Any word on this guy from camp/practice? redshirt?
I dont know, I like his tape though. Reminds me of Ray Rice,/Darren Sproles.
