FOOTBALL (FREE)
Short answer is any easy ‘yes.’ But that’s contingent on you approaching it from the same standpoint of the people who would make that decision (i.e. $$$) and not that of a fan (i.e. “they wouldn’t win as much in the SEC).
The SEC clamor among the OU fan base seems to be swelling… But would the Sooners really be better off in the SEC? https://t.co/HYrOwTFg8g

Hey Metz! Good job of representing early.
Morning,Cush!
Morning Metz! Good job on the lurking, and waiting, and BOOM! ! ! 🙂
Lol metz do you wake up checking tfb?
He and I have to get up early for the job. It sucks, but someone has to make the donuts.
Put extra sprinkles on mine.
Sprinkles ruin chocolate. Just sayin’.
I’m in the office by 0630 daily (worst part is, I own the company)
Golf!
OU Football Metz!
It was dark when I left the house at 6am this morning. I wouldn’t complain if it was because of an early tee time though.
Me either. I have not seen the golf course this year. UGH!
That goes against your name! You gotta get out to the golf course. Within the next two weeks. Make it happen
I’m trying 76! I will get there by the 1st of September that is for sure.
Good! Gotta do it before Football
Yep!
And coffee!
Mmmmm….coffee…
i AM usually at work by 5am.
Good FOOTBALL morning, fellow Brainiacs!! Good to see Creed coming home. What a great day, huh?
J.r.!
Metz!!
Good morning!! Past couple of days have been Boomerific for sure.
Good morning, Slim!!
Morning Kamm!
Good morning, Oscar!!
Beautiful morning! Sooner!

Morning Rick!
As always, good morning my friend!
FOOTBALL,Rick!
FOOTBALL Metz! You weren’t in OKC last night were you?
No sir flat ugly Lubbock!
Wife and I went to dinner last night and there was a beautiful blue Vette in the parking lot with Texas plates. I looked for you, obviously didn’t see you. Funny there is more than one blue Vette in that little state. 🙂
Morning! Up and at em on the OK prairie!!
FOOTBALL,Slim!
On Realignment…I have to admit I love the Big 12 from year to year either the best or second best conference. Great rivalries, made since geographically, and History. I think we need at least 5 power conferences for parity if everyone is in just a power four where will all the things that made college football great go? I loved that we could argue about who has more conf. championships with an Ohio state fan but you lump all those great schools together and someones prestige will take a hit. Look at Nebraska those guys are irrelevant now and its sad. someone posted a big 12 conf. i would be all for by dropping WVU and adding Neb, A & M ,Mizzou, Colo, BYU .
I truly believe that Nebraska chose poorly. As for A&M and MIzzou, good riddance. I do believe that when 2024 rolls around the Big 12 will be gone or on it’s death bed.
Me too, i hope not. Eventually everyone will be in one mega conference and they will have divisions by region and name the divisions the old conf. names. and if you win your division you play in the conference playoff and whoever wins that is conf/national champion
Here is my order
1) Pac12 – I know late games and travel ( travel would be fun, we could get an even bigger pipeline to the cal players)
2a) BigG – only if we bring Texas or TCU with us ( Education, Would be nice to have a Texas school with us to help with Texas players)
2b) SEC- Great games ESPN hype ( Not for Education JK )
4) ACC- just to far to travel with the places we would travel not being all that great.
That Pac-12 would be my last resort. I think your 2a and 2b options are the only two real options that will be in OU’s favor. But we will see.
I’m with you, but I don’t care about bringing Texas schools with us. (I think KU is the best bet to bring along.)
We would continue the OU/Texsa game, which would keep the recruiting pipeline going.
If we could continue the OU/UT game then I am with you. I do think the OU/UT package as much as I hate to say it would bring a lot more $ and competition to any conf.
Well, if we were in another conf than UT, playing them would not only be a rivalry game but now pitting one conf against the other. I like it.
Without realignment B12 is dead, with it, the networks have to go to commercial twice as often and twice as long. Something’s got to give.
Hey Golf! Well, without those schools, I sure don’t like the 12-4+2. texsa is the only long standing “name” school. Their arrogance is boundless and their football quality is sad.
Boren wants BI6, which I would take. If he sticks OUr school with a lengthened GoR, I will no longer support him.
Morning Cush! I agree. I do not want to see OU get stuck with a longer GOR and be stuck in a conference with only middle of the road schools.
Those were the good ole days, looking back on it. Would have been better if the rest of the conference had told Texas to Sit Down and STFU.
Boom!
We would just be another member in the SEC Bull fing shi@$#%%.Id welcome the challenge,tougher than the b12 maybe maybe not.I think we would dam sure make it tougher on them also IMHO.
Tell em metz.
No question we would make it tougher on them and they in turn on us. The problem is the OU fandom’s willingness to accept winning 5-7 division championships and 3-5 conference championships every 20 years. Alabama which has had the top recruiting class in the country the last 5 years but has won only 7 divisional championships and 5 conference titles in the last 20 years. They are followed by Florida with 7 divisional and 4 conference championships 1996-2015. Championships don’t come easily in the SEC and they will not come any easier for the Sooners as a member of the SEC. It is what it is
Chant “SEC!”? Nope. Never. Can’t make me.
Sometimes I feel like all this OU shOUldn’t go to the $EC talk is done on purpose so that THEY don’t have to try and compete with US.
After the 2013 Sugar Bowl win over the $EC’s crown jewel and last year’s “Miracle at Rocky Top” I think they are afraid to play OUr boys on an annual basis.
In fact, I bet that Paul Finebaum, Nick Saban, and every $EC loving sports media broadcaster are laying down on the leather sofas that line E$ECpin’s network psychologist’s office blubbering about how they can’t sleep at night because visions of Bob Stoops and Lincoln Riley roaring across the plains in the Sooner Schooner are haunting their dreams and the eternal notes of “BOOMER SOONER” are still thundering in their ears!!!
Just my take on things, but then again I am a rabid OU fan, so what do I know? Playing in the $EC wOUld be challenging, but I think we wOUld win more often than a lot of people wOUld expect us to. Thanks to a few down years, some people have forgotten how exceptional of a football program OU truly is, but I don’t see OU being afraid of the challenge.
Big ten would be more fun than the SEC.
I think we would dominate like in the Big 12 along with OSU. Most of those teams can run the ball, but do lack a passing games. MS’ defense handles those offenses.
Morning everyone. I finally get to post in the mornings (only on Tuesday’s) since I can work from home. Hope everyone has a great Boomer day!!!! Only 25 days til GAMEDAY, BOOMER!!!!!!
SOONER!!!!!!
SOONER! ! !
I have asked this question before and haven’t received an answer maybe one of you all know. Who are the early enrollees of the 17 class?? I know a few was mentioned before and if we land Okudah he would be I believe, but does anyone know who out of the ones already committed.
Above my head,morning CW!
Morning Metz
Good Football morning you Brainiac’s!!! “It’s another great day to be a SOONER” The Train is getting full, who else wants on board? Shout out to #SS17, #ST18 and of course all you lurkers.
Tell them to grab their spot while they can!
Magic!!!
47!
Morning 47!
FOOTBALL,Oscar!
LET’S PLAY SMASH MOUTH football! Barry Style! Metz!!!
Metz!!!
FOOTBALL,47!
Mornin, Oscar!!
Some of the lurkers came out to play for a short time today! Morning 47!
A great big ol’ ‘What up?’ to the Brainiacs, the faniacs, and to all the Sooner faithful. Football Hype Month 2016 is upon us, and life is starting to look a little less sucktastic.
And screw Charlie Strong. Listened to an interview with him on XM. His speech is as clumsy as his career.
R&R back in the house!
I’m bringing down the house, breh! And the IQ!
Well, well, well. Look what the cat drug in!!! Mornin Robertson.
Mornin’, 47. It’s a fine day to be a…
SOONER!!! Heard any good stories lately?
Several. But I got a question: If a naked pirate showed up at your doorstep, how would you know?
How?
Have no idea. Without the hat, the hook, the pegged leg, and just the general pirate garb, all that’s left is a naked, gravel-voiced amputee. I’d probably slide money under the door, and ask that he go away (and use the handrail).
Darn you, now I actually pictured that…
Magic, you’re a magician; make it go away. Abracadabra! Hocus! Pocus!
And he’d probably hop away still thinking he’s still an effective pirate. Because, you know, he got someone else’s money.
Well he did do his job I guess…
Now R/R, you could easily identify him – he would still HAVE to say Ahrrrrrrrr especially after his peg-leg was stolen 🙂
“My goodness, honey. He’s on the bath salts too!”
Ahhh, the much needed humor is back.
Sam! Well, I like R/R, but we needed him when it was all realignment, all the time – THAT really needs some humor!
FOOTBALL 47!!!!!!!!
FOOTBALL to you metz!!!
47!
Sam!!! I seen Metz tried to put someone else in his probation spot yesterday.
Lurker!!!!!!!!
Yes I have not noticed them on here before. Those are the easiest to pawn your probation on!!!
R/R is back. Things just got interesting…
Yesssss. The prodigal son has returned!
Kill the fatted
calfBevo!Bonus points to sir for using part of the parable to hate on Uterus.
And in midseason condition, too.
The King is back.
R/R!!!
I missed you, Metzie. [Gives virtual man hug]
awwwwww HUGZZZZZZ!!!!!!
Easy, Metz. You can’t put too many Zs at the end of an all-caps HUG. I’m just not ready to take that step, okay? 🙂
Got it!
You two need to get a room.
Good morning, Bob.
How’s the new job?
Doesn’t start until a week from Thursday. Gave my notice last week and so I am spending my time handing off my work to others and trying to look busy. How are things going with you?
Huggy bear. LOL! Bad visual. Mornin, metz!
Bad, bad, visual.
Morning,Slim!
My visual.
Bout time you showed up! How ya?
Well, man. Busy. But busy is good. Got me a pair of nosebleed OU-ULM tickets (because I’m cheap like that). Pumped to see Perine become a threat to public safety.
RR, MY MAN!!!!
How the hecks have you been, dude?
Well, man. Very well. Ready to get this football thang rollin’. You still coming to Norman for the Sooners-Suckeyes game?
Yes, I am. Will you be there? We promised each other we would get together and finish that conversation we started.
I won’t be at the game, but I don’t live far. How long will you be in the area?
Max and I are coming in on Friday. We will drive up from DFW. We could meet up then, if you’re free. Plus, we won’t leave until Sunday afternoon.
Right on. As the date gets closer and you nail down a timeline, we can pick a time and place for some grub and good conversation.
Deal.
Nice to see you back RR!
Good to be back, man. And by “back” I mean not lurking.
LOL! Yeah, I know that. I’ve been lurking most of the summer.
Woooow. Look who hit the boards again. Glad to have you back. Now, go write us a story on what you did while you were gone. 😉
You got it, Boom. 🙂

SOONER! Easiest thing to do ever. Morning, Magic. Got your name on my shirt today.
Good! It’s a good thing to have on a shirt

SOONER!!!!!!!!!!
SOONER!!!
OU, Kansas, texsa –
Name a great football school, a great basketball school, and great EGO school.
Thank you, the great Carnack!
Sure! Carson had a great schtick with that – and it makes for a good slam texsa vehicle.
That was a schtick?
He was magnificent.
Good morning, TFB Family. How about that BOOM! yesterday, huh?
Jordan, if you’re going to post Trotter’s OU to the $EC article, you have to post your tweets to him, also. That was some rich and savory bantering you had going on yesterday.
Those of us who are non-tweeters need to get the full experience. So, where are those tweets from yesterday?
Speaking of tweets: ICYMI: https://twitter.com/TheJeffOkudah/status/758840195936423936
I really enjoyed the back and forth for JE and Trotter
That was like the fight seen in one of the Bourne movies: a lot of knife play, quick jabs to the abdomen, and a karate chop thrust to the throat.
Right you know all about that,FOOTBALL ,SAM
Football, it is.
Good morning, sir!
76!!!!!!!
What’s up, punk? LOL!
Metz!
Morning Sam!
Morining, Golf!
How are things in Kansas?
Muggy! We have had a very unusual summer with high humidity and lots of rain. About 5 years ago the Sahara desert received an inch more rain than we did. That is how dry we had been. Now, everything is green again.
How’s Ohio?
We’re at 80 right now. It’s been cooling off in the evening; so, we’ve been sitting on the front porch a lot.
Golf, seen you been around a lot more lately.
I’ve had a little bit more free time.
I was praying that I just get thru college! LOL
As I told K y’day, if I was smart I would have actually made a post out of the whole thing/my thoughts on the situation. But it also would have probably been like 10k words by the time I was done w/ it and made both all of you and myself want to blow our brains out by the end.
But ultimately the main take away, as I think I’ve proved well beyond a shadow of a doubt at this point, is that I’m not smart 🙂
Hide your “smarts” so you too can get a high-paying sportscaster job (or political commentator) – they seem to have an inverse IQ test requirement.
Cush,…, well,…LMAO.
Jordan, we appreciate you and your passion for OU football and OU sports. Those quick jabs were coming at a furious pace. I remember thinking: Trotter, I hope you have experience as a sparring partner because you are getting punched, something furious.
I haven’t hit Metz that hard in the kidneys. Sorry Metz; a baseline has been established. I’m not meeting the minimum requirements. I have work to do.
Remember Sam, Metz is nowhere near as bad as Trotter! And Metz is one-of-ours! Just try not to leave bruises….
You mean I have pull my punches?
Metz, you’re a lucky duck. But you’re still on probation.
It’s the humane thing to do – remember the poor guy lives in Lubbock and has to pull sand ticks and sand aggies out of his yard.
I see your point. I’ll be kinder…, somewhat.
I thought you had good responses to Trotter on Twitter. It was obvious to me that you had spent a lot more time thinking about it than Trotter.
Nailed it.
ha, not sure about that. IMO, Jake is one of the good guys. i never really had an issue w/ his actual story, rather some of the things/people from it.
J, Maybe you all could start a post section for us non-twits. So that we could see all of the back and forth’s. Just a thought.
I don’t think you even need a money-only argument. Would anyone here say, “Well, the XII is cool because we usually win, but wouldn’t it be even better if we joined the Sunbelt so we could win virtually every game and never lose the conference? Wow!” Yes, I understand you need the path to the NC too, for which the XII at least leaves the door cracked. But the season isn’t *just* getting the trophy. Having great matchups, in exciting environments, is a huge part of the joy of the season.
And during those years where we did run the gauntlet and win the SEC–and don’t even pretend like it won’t happen–then we are in the catbird’s seat for the NC. No doubt we’re in the playoff, and we will be far more battle-tested than we are coming out of the XII. To me, no small part of 2000’s success was the stiff competition we faced that year from Nebbish, KSU (twice), and A&M. That hardened us into a lethal machine. The other years we made it to the NC game, the XII was soft, and when we ran into a gristly opponent, we simply were not prepared.
I would gladly accept 1-2 more losses/year on average (I think that’s realistically what we’re talking about) for the tremendous games, boost it would bring to our recruiting, and the ruthless machine we would be in the post season on those years we did win it.
Mark, great post.
I think any offense in the $EC, that has teeth, can win the $EC. Look at how inept Lester’s team are offensively but he was still in the thick of things. That doesn’t even take into account of his mismanagement of timeouts and bad play calling.
OU has teeth and will bite you. And for the first time in a long time, this defense can be wickedly good.
He seems to be a pretty wise kid. I respect that.
Switzer can make up for his mistake with Earl Campbell. Send him up to hide under his bed and give him a sign! lol
I read that book. It was funny when I read that.
Switzer is as awesome for the hilarious things he did and said, as he is for being arguably the greatest coach in OU history. His stories are just genuinely so entertaining, especially the way he tells them.
What’s the story here? Sorry, I’m young.
We all pray he does too. But then, we KNOW here is what will be best for him!
I understand our backup QB has never seen a second of college ball, but how on earth can you put OU’s QB situation as the 5th best in the country?????
1) Clemson… Watson so good you don’t need anyone behind him.. YAK!
Notre Dame to me is the only team that has two proven starters…
I can only upvote this once, Birddawg. Sorry.
Good morning Sam!
Morining!
Dawg!!!!!!
Good morning Metz!
I’m just surprised Bama isn’t listed.
I’m worried that we don’t have a real #3 QB, and #2 hasn’t played a down yet. Gotta keep Baker upright and healthy.
No I definitely agree, not a huge stock of backup, but Baker being as good as he is I thought it would be a higher number
In two years OU will be #1, but right now are backups are huge question marks.
The same way clemson is #1 with 0 experience with their backup…
Look what this idiot came up with. I gave them hell. http://www.chatsports.com/texas-longhorns/a/8-reasons-why-texas-football-will-always-be-better-oklahoma-football-30422
Excuse me while I go throw up.
It doesn’t get much more pathetic then that.
When you can’t make it past the #2 point on yOUr list and have to start talking abOUt non-football related things in order to justify why yOUr football team is better than OU football you’ve:
1) Failed to make yOUr point.
2) Proven that yOUr team is, in fact, inferior to OU football
3) Made yOUr list too long in a desperate attempt to boost yOUr own self worth and as we all know “desperation is a stinky cologne”.
Good morning, Bull.
If I played in over 105 games, at home, I wouldn’t broadcast that I’ve lost 44 of them.
Morning Sam. The guy that wrote this is probably no whorn. I mean, could anybody ask to be abused any more than that guy? Like I said under his article. You can have the tower, mascot and network. We’ll take the Championships. That’s why we play the game!
Written by a whorn on crack. Everybody knows TWO furry horses with manhood intact trumps one castrated bull. Duh!
Right Slim! But I always think of the texsa mascot as future BBQ rather than the cow-pie machine that represents the ugly orange of texsa.
1) All time Modern Era 1946 and beyond
points scored..
OU 1542 Texsa 1332
Wins
OU 35 – Texas 34 (1976 Tie)
2) We eat Bevo
3) LHN is a distaster
4) MAKE IT STOP
5) 7 Natties!
6) 9 big 12 championships!
7) 47!
8) Oklahoma is synonymous of winning!
AND texsa is synonymous with WHINING!
Nice.
Oklahoma is synomymous with winning. Texsa is synomymous with whining.
OU invented winning championships, you forgot that one. 🙂
What is the story on the ND transfer?
All I can find on him is that he was suspended at ND, had been recruited by Cooks, is from DFW area. 6’5″. I did not see anywhere a description of his playing ability or athletic assets. Maybe an old recruiting service bio will help.
Pretty much a consensus 4* from The Colony (suburb of Dallas). Had offers from ND, the good guys, Arkansas, Oregon, Cal, Ole Miss + several others. 6’5″ 252 lbs according to 247. Suspended by ND, according to my father-in-law (avid ND fan) it was for being late to meetings because he never got any PT. Could be a nice pick-up if he has the right attitude.
He was a 4* guy out of high school. I haven’t heard much since. Great build, good at the point of attack. Not elite athletically but pretty good. Ran a 4.75 40 at 6’5″ and approx 250lbs. Has potential.
Thanks!
TFB rule #293:
When metz asks a question it better get answered. Otherwise GIF’s will ensue.
LOL!
…or fabrications.
Morning, Metz! I didn’t see you there. Did you hear to story about the man who…?
———–
That expression is hilarious.
ESPN story on transfers who could make a difference this year. Trevor Knight at #3, Geno Lewis at #9
http://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/17247221/cal-golden-bears-davis-webb-leads-transfers-impact-college-football-season
Have to see how it plays out, but not a lot of talk has come out about Lewis so far. Goodness though, with aggie QB situation I’m surprised Knight is not #1 with a bullet.
I hope TKPK6 can get over his nerves. He’s a great kid, with great talent, but that sphincter really seizes-up on him.
Yeah, hard to figure. His Sugar Bowl might have been one of those “everything goes right” nights and he peaked with it…
A little like golf, when I shot 76 a few years back followed by high 80s after it 🙂
The Oakman hit was is still in his head.
Hit and stomp – TK might visit him if he does religious work with prisoners, otherwise their paths won’t cross again.
That Sugar Bowl performance was incredible. Goes up there with some of the biggest questions ever.
– “Who shot JFK?”
– “Is Elvis dead?”
– “What in the world did the coaches give/ tell Trevor Knight before that game???”
Short term “alien body invasion,” or maybe it was the ghost of Johnny Unitas that took over.
Maybe Manziel did enough drugs that night that he was able to control Knight’s actions?
And, last but not least “What happened to the Doobie Brothers?”.
DB Cooper, too.
Geno is going to make things happen.

Okay! FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From Campus Rush: “Imagine Warren Buffett not buying a stock for his portfolio because it may make too much money. Imagine a Major League Baseball general manager not promoting a player because he could outperform an established one. Imagine a college admissions office not taking a candidate because they might outsmart the other students.
Those scenarios are being bandied around in the Big 12 right now, as the league discusses admitting the University of Houston as an expansion candidate. Only a conference as shortsighted as the Big 12 would consider Houston’s vast football potential as an argument against bringing it into the league. Even for a conference long defined by schools ignoring the conference’s greater good, the discussion around Houston is stunningly myopic”
http://www.campusrush.com/big-12-expansion-houston-cougars-football-1965479371.html
Houston…….NO! This league is not the Southwest conference. Let’s let another school in that is just going to suck up to UT. Give them more power to screw crap up.
ANOTHER damn Houston homer and texsa boob wanting to resurrect the SWC – it is so obvious that U of texsa kills any conference it touches.

http://thecannabull.sportsblog.com/posts/23215751/if-the-colorado-buffs-truly-wants-to-go-back-to-the-big-12–now-is-the-time.html
Screw CU. Their game atmosphere is disgusting and their university leadership helped blackball us from the Pac a couple years ago.
BS, and I don’t mean Bob Stoops..
“Bet on it: Sam Bradford will have a career year this season”
http://www.phillyvoice.com/bet-it-sam-bradford-will-have-career-year-season/
Man I sure hope so. Then he can leave philly and go get that money from a team that wants him.
His receivers are few and far between. I’m hearing they could line up 3 TE sets this year due to the lack of WR depth.
Their ownership is second only to Cleveland in continually mishandling personnel.
Let’s not talk about Cleveland.
I’m hoping they stay that way so Bob won’t get any ideas!
So far we have the following in #SS17
QB – 1
OL – 3
RB – 1
WR – 3
TE – 2 (with Hall in the FB/TE category)
ATH – 1
P – 1
S – 1
CB – 2
LB – 1
DE -1
What is our max # of scholarships for 17 and what remaining positions must we fill? This is really a general question for the mods and anyone else who has 2 pennies.
Don’t we have two RB’s?
I believe Duncan has him listed as an ATH.
I thought there was a JUCO RB.
It’s believed he will move around so he is listed as an athlete here
Ok. Gotcha. Missed that.
There is. Marcelius Sutton, who plays RB for Lackawanna CC. There has been some discussion that he might be a slot, so I think Duncan listed him as an ATH in his list above.
Yep… that’s just what 247 had him listed under.
I would say at least 1 more LB and DE, then 2 DT’s. I would be fine with that.
I have heard somewhere between 24-27 for 2017.
They will likely take 1 S, 1-2 DT’s, 1 CB, 2-3 LB’s, 1 WR, 1-2 DE’s, 1-2 OT’s.
They are good at QB, RB, TE, OG, C, and P. They would be fine with no additional WR’s, or CB’s as well but will certainly take the right players.
1 wr
1 ol
2 dt
1 de
2 or 3 lb
2 db
That’s what I’m thinking anyway
Just read on 247 Sports notre Dame DE Grant Blankenship transferring to the Good Guys.

25 DTG – Couple of All-Americans wore this number
Tommy McDonald AA 54-56; George Thomas AA 46-49; James Allen 93-96; Anthony Stafford
Tommy McDonald was one of my all time favorites.
He was up almost as his body hit the ground. Sometimes he was in the huddle when the defense was just getting up. Loved his energy.
Yep. Hurry up offense 1950s style.

OP up
NO they would not be better off in the $eCheaters conference !
Not that B1G is all that noble .. but OU would make them the premier conference !
And then the money would be just as good and the competition at least two grades up in class .
