SOONERS are good all the time, & all the time SOONERS are good!!!!
Mornin y’all.. boomer

If there is any justice in this world, Ole Miss needs to go down!!
Boomer!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOONER!!
It’s an electric morning.
Mornin’ Doc!
Morning Cush.
Sooner!!!!
Sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 days, folks…
Yessir! Back after it Toats sir – good to see!
My phone is such a steaming pile of dung that I usually have to wait until I get home in order to respond…but, yes, back at it!
Getting close!
I’m so excited and I just cant hide it!
CFB royalty we are T1 and Texas 7!!! Yes it’s true Texsa SUCKS!!
The main claim texsa has is from its statewide power in a strong football state. MANY of their wins were helped by refs and the SWC weak sisters.
The top five are as the article states above the others. OU has been behind tOSU and Alabama in the last 10 years, but ahead of ND and USC. Things cycle, so OU needs to regain a little compared to those two. Good start would be to take out tOSU TWICE.
For sure, we need to win a couple of NC in the next 5 yrs
Texsa underachieves, especially considering their resources. On top of that, if OU hadn’t sent them their only great coach they’d down in the Clemson range, or lower.
I thought the BB thing on which coach other coaches would want the son to play for missed the point, which the writer somewhat pointed out. Izzo is reasonable. Yet, he did say some mentioned Calipari – No chance I would want him as a coach unless I wanted my kid to be a conman or politician. Self over Kruger is wrong also.
Good “FOOTBALL” Friday morning and TGIF. Only 8 more days until the good guys bring the “BOOMer” to Houston.
We ARE ready for sure – Morning Tony!
The “Blue Bloods” article aside, MOST articles mentioning the “quality” of texsa football talk about the strength of state players, the recruiting power and top-of-the-list, how much MONEY texsa has. At least that article mentioned only 3 Big 12-2 titles (2 after BOB came to OU as the article did not mention). The power of 25 SWC titles is flimsy – several of those had to be “reffed” into being by the Bible family.
But much like the super rich kid will get invites to all the parties, texsa will get mentioned in the top ten even though they only lead in arrogance.
In reality, it’s 3 conference championships and 25 state titles.
This time next week I’ll be traveling to Houston for the game!!! BOOMER
SOONER!!!!!
Talk about “hurry up” offenses, today’s teams have nothing on Bud’s. Look at how fast they move that ball. They need Charlie Chaplin as a water boy in those flicks.
Happy Friday!
Welcome to the weeken, Ray!
Ray, post that on the texsa board 🙂 – yes, I’m just a little impish, but I refuse to go anywhere orange.
Saving it for game day, don’t wanna bait anyone this early. 🙂
So no home depot for you?///ssss
Not without very dark, polarizing sunglasses…or a welding hood.
bravo !!! well done, Ray.
His legs still wouldn’t touch the ground!

good morning everyone!!!
Morning, Wood!
Morning Wood!!!!!!! (I said)
Yeah, that one was just toooooooooooooooo easy – uncontested layup 🙂
Howdy all. It’s another great day to be a Sooner. Sorry Horns but…..you SUCK!!!
Howdy Hound!
Literally had a dream that we beat Houston 45-24 last night, it was marvelous. I think a lot of us are freaking out about their front 7, but after my dream I’m in a perfectly calm state of mind and I can’t wait to roll them!
Good morning fellas!
That’s funny I had a very vivid dream about winning the game off a direct snap to Mixon… Mayfield went into motion like he was relaying something to one of the linemen
That’s more of a nightmare to me if we’re that close to losing! Lol
I think Venables had a similar dream before the Orange Bowl.
sure that wasn’t a ‘wet’ dream you described ?
Bet the score ends up closer to my dream than whatever is in your head! You just gotta believe SD, come on man!
Morning Vegas!
I had a dream last night. I dreamt I was a dove flying over the sea. And
then I dove into the ocean… And I swam with the dolphins. I was two
animals joined as one… which meant – good things are coming. Good
things.
I dreamed I was playing golf in a hospital corridor. I lost my ball under a bed near a bed pan…I’m not sure what that was all about other than I play crappy golf.

Sonny Brown, I had forgot how good this kid was.

Loved Darrell Shepard and Sonny Brown. Loved Brown and Scott Case in the same backfield.
Jalen Saunders, One of my favorite guys to watch.
https://youtu.be/zk1U3tD9v7U
Guy was special.
Can’t believe he hasn’t had much success in the NFL. Must be the lack of size…
Cowboy killer!
As usual, all great players.
We are so privileged to have had so many greats come through this program.
OU has always had great players, some teams more than others. Quite a legacy and it looks like the new guys will continue it.
Yep. That’s why we can NEVER retire numbers for great play unless we plan to used triple and quadruple digits.
What number did Troy Aikman wear at OU? Know he had 8 at UCLA.
18
Myself and another TFB’er had the privilege of sitting next to Darrell Shepard last time we attended an OU game. Very nice guy. Had a lot of insight on Trevor Knight and why he was struggling at the time.
I still curse Ryan Reynolds’ bad knees!
Solid player when healthy
Good morning all
and Happy Friday!
8 DTG!!!
Morning, dawg!
Hey Bleed,
This is the last weekend until OU football…
Are you ready?!?
I wake up every morning and look at my phone to see how many days we have left. I use final countdown on my home page. lol, Yeah, I am soooo ready!!!
Morning Birddawg!
Dawg!!!
Good for Roy Finch. In an unrelated opinion…LET DANIEL BROOKS RETURN PUNTS!!
Hopefully, it was just a stinger on Chris Robison. Hope to see him lighting it up for the rest of the season.
Bleed!!!!!
Metz!!!
Good morning fellow Brainiac’s. “It’s another great day to be a SOONER” Shout out to #SS17, #ST18, all you lurkers and last but not least your soon to be NC SOONERS!!!!!
Morning 47
Mornin dave!!
T-minus 2 days until actual game week. Oh i can smell the adrenaline pumping
It has been so long, I almost forget what game week feels like!!!!
Plus OU hasnt had an opener like this in quite some time, gonna need to be sharp
It definitely has been a while, was just trying to think back when we have had a bigger one. Can I get a little help from someone?
BYU was a top 20 team in ’09 I think
Oh and that was the first game at JerryWorld.
and our star qb goes down early and a unproven LJ takes over. And it was slow and painful loss.
I can concur woof!!
I remember watching that in Jerry World. Really wished I hadn’t driven all that way to watch such a disappointment.
Howdy Woofer! Yeah that was one of the best OU teams in recent memory, thats what inexperienced OL and injuries can do to any team
WOOF!!!!!!
Yes there was a lot of yelling at the TV that game, I do remember that!
I was there. We sat in the BYU section. Nice people. Not much of a line at the beer concessions.
Good plan Sir!
47, getting ready for the first true game-week of the season.
Mornin, Cush. It just might be a celebration in itself!!! It has been so long.
Morning 47!
Oscar, Good morning!
Good morning everyone
Morning Dave!
Howdy Cush
Dave! Morning!
Oscar!!
Oscar!
Dave!
Metz!
Obvious bias aside, pretty generous including Texas among those considered to be “blue-blood” programs.
You gotta do everything you can to recoup as much of that $300M boondoggle loss as possible.
you have to admit, that was a pretty shrewd deal on Texas’ part. Did they see ESPN coming or what?
Yup. ESPN bought an entire tanker of snake oil. Biggest con in college football history!
Hound!
Mark!
*hi-5*
One of the funniest things in the Wilkinson RB video is watching the ref do a flip and somersault before signaling the TD at the 4:15 mark funny as hell
I like that video.
Tommy McDonald!
I haven’t been able to be on here a whole lot lately but when I have I haven’t seen TRob. Has he posted anything lately?
Not that I have seen
Hawk, don’t believe so. Maybe he is busy chauffeuring Tyrese around!!!
Or busy recruiting Okudah and Big Marv.
I think for the good of the team, we can allow it!!!
Hawk!
Haven’t seen him on TFB lately, he tweeted this last night. https://twitter.com/iBOOMiSOON/status/768998570791800832
Makes that ref look like a midget. wow.
To much to catch up on so i will just say,good FOOTBALL morning to all.Its 9:06 and texsa SUCKS——————————-
Morning Metzker
Morning CW!
FOOTBALL,Metz!!
FOOTBALL,47!!!
Now back to work!!!
Well, you are exactly right about that texsa place. Good morning to you sir!
Morning,Cush!
Good Morning sir!
Good FOOTBALL,David!
So close to actual football!
That pretty much covers the salient points.
Is Tejas really a blue-blood program?
no
Not sure if we were in this or not….
https://twitter.com/Fred_Hansard56/status/769172775365971968
i’m all for kids having their moment, but these type of stuff is just getting ridiculous IMO
Agreed.
You guys have any plans for a mobile app?
I hope so because Disqus on mobile really sucks. Almost as bad as Texsa even.
oh, k has A LOT of plans for things. and i’m sure that’s one of them 🙂
Thanks J!
Watching this thinking this type of hype leads to transferring after not being on the 2 deep as a freshman and probably not ever heard from again.
No Open Post since Monday…Today has gotta be the day, right?
Yes.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!
737!!!!!!!!
Morning Metz. Helluva day already, and my weekend looks busy too. I need a vacation.
Yea been pouring slab sense 3am and it still sucks!!!!!!!
Are you paving all of Lubbock??

It’s behind a pay wall but you can see who #1 is. Mcshay’s top 10 corners and safeties for this years draft. He has Jordan Thomas as the #1 corner. I think he’s crazy but whatevs. http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/insider/story/_/page/McShayPreDB2017/todd-mcshay-top-db-prospects-2017-nfl-draft-oklahoma-sooners-jordan-thomas
Haha “This is gonna burn your butthole girl” …… I used to like Taco Bell until that video.
Looked at some crystal ball predictions. If OU gets Hines and Gumbs that pushes OU to a 264.11 and into the #3 overall class. JS
I have a feeling Hines is going to be this years Kelly, leaning OU for years but still draggings things out to the last possible second. Dude just get on board and help recruit other players if you already know that’s where you want to go. geez.
Gumbs is committed
Sure enough…I guess the guy predicting that really went out on a limb. LOL

Gotta be some trademark issues there.
The shirt is plain Jane anyways, doubt they sell a lot.
I know you’re ordering one right now.
I’m actually in the process of searching for some new OU shirts. I’ve got a bad problem of wearing mine to the gym and they get all nasty and faded from the constant washing.
There you go…..if you see any cool hats let me know. Apparently on the bookstore has the rights to sell them.
http://pa1.narvii.com/5764/08e442cd5171b8b172523eee9352a9a82f48a519_hq.gif
“We Too Deep”
That is a boring shirt. Good for workouts though. 🙂
I ordered mine from Fanatics.com. They have custom made Jersey’s. They have like 500 colleges to order from. Mine has the Nike logo on the front along with Sooners. I have my high school number on front, back, and sleeves. Also my name on back. They have hats, shorts, and etc. They have a sale going on now. Just happen that my high school number is 81-which is my favorite OU player this year.
I follow Josh McCuistion from Rivals on Twitter and every once in a while he will post a “Free” story. Wanting every little potential morsel of Sooners news I click on the link and it’s not free. I understand he makes money doing this (which is fine, I get it) but it ticks me off when he lies about stuff being free. Do they not understand that pushes potential customers away? Rant Over
The tweet was free*
LOL that’s funny right there!
Yeah I used to sub at all 3 of the main pay sites. Those links are alwaya misleading. And then one day you find a tweet from Jordan Esco and it leads you to TFB and all those pay site subs are allowed to expire. Man that was a good day.
THANK YOU BRAINIACS!
AMEN!!!
When he states that something is free then it causes me to click on the link and all it is is a DESCRIPTION of the ACTUAL article that IS NOT free. One time he stated it was free and then it only showed the first paragraph and the text became lighter as you read until you couldn’t read it anymore. One person actually called him out about it on Twitter and he got all huffy saying that they throw more free stuff out there than anyone else referring to the articles that I mentioned above. Sorry to add on to your rant, but that has been eating at more for a while now.
Pretty poor business model if you ask me.
Yes it is. The only reason why I follow him is because he is associated with the Sooners. Bob Przybylo, or however you spell it, is the only one I know of that actually puts out free articles the majority of the time.
Bob does have the most free articles but I just feel like he’s 3 days behind TFB on all his info. I think he broke one commitment last year before TFB and that’s been about it.
Outside of TFB.
Someone didn’t take a business ethics class ?
“To click on the article is free……to read it will cost ya”
https://lovelace-media.imgix.net/uploads/145/cd80e520-7b1c-0131-9a03-322c7cd0deb0.gif?
And remember they need unique page views not actual reads for their ad money
I clicked on a “free” one from him and it turned out to be behind pay wall. Learned my lesson and don’t click on the bait anymore. A man’s word means everything – except to him.

OU Football: A Look At The Wide Receivers

Top Safety Pick: Owasso’s Josh Proctor
http://www.tulsaworld.com/communities/owasso/top-safety-pick-owasso-s-josh-proctor-wayne-jones-a/article_5afbadf9-c7c7-57fb-949f-3dad0a761a11.html
Thanks for the read. Proctor has the size and is an outstanding athlete. Hope OU can reel him in for 2018.
Poor Greg Little. He went to Ole Miss because the coaches told him all the NCAA investigations were over. I think the Evans brothers and Kyler could have talked him into OU otherwise.
Is he poor? I figured Ole Miss paid up 😉
ZINGGGG
Thank you Ill be here all za week
Nope. Not poor. He comes from middle class. Nice neighborhood. But I’m sure he got some under the table type stuff.
Bout damn time they make the radio free again! Bastards!
When I clicked on the radio app, it said I get a free trial, but then it’s $9.99/month. So does the radio app cost money and the OU programming is free? Or is it all free?
Oh not sure. I havent checked yet. You mean the tunein app? It used to be a free app… Not sure now.
Ok thanks! I just reopened my app and now it appears I might be able to use it without subscribing. Strange deal.
I have the app and it has access to a bunch of free stuff, and a bunch of stuff is only available for “premium” users or whatever. I assume the OU deal means the games are moving from “premium” to free. But not sure about it I haven’t used it in a while.
OP is up!
Texsa is not a blue blood.
THANK YOU Jordan!!! I had a discussion yesterday with two people about why Texas didn’t belong with the “Blue Bloods” of college football. There are many reasons, but ultimately it boils down to what have they really done. The only reason they are included (in my opinion) is because they have excelled at one thing; Texas has marketed their brand as well, if not better, than any other program in the country. Their name is mentioned with the real Blue Bloods because they have spent a mountain of many spreading the brand awareness. But, they are NOT a member of the elite royalty.
