Open Post | Weekend, Apr. 22nd – 24th
Posted on: April 22, 2016
– Spring Evaluation: The OU staff began the spring evaluation period this past week and while many schools haven’t actually started spring ball yet, hence many of these visits were as much about public relations as anything. The Oklahoma staff getting face time with various high school coaches around the country to spread that OU brand.
That said, several OU coaches did make some notable visits this week to players like Trey Sermon, JK Dobbins, Chuck Filiaga (though he was not at school that day), Hunter Bryant (H-back that the Sooners offered a day later), Ceedee Lamb and a few others.
Next week a number of high schools will begin spring ball, so it should be an even more intense week of both visits and evaluations. To that point, a couple notable visits already set for next week are:
Jacob Phillips – 2017 LB Jacob Phillips (Nasvhille, TN) visited Oklahoma during spring ball and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Phillips let TFB know Oklahoma is definitely in his group of top schools, and that Tim Kish is expected to stop by next week.
Nelson Mbanasor – You probably recognize the last name as Mbanasor is the younger brother of current OU cornerback, PJ Mbanasor. The younger Mbanasor is a 2017 DE who really does look the part of someone that could play in OU’s front (B-gap player that can play multiple techniques). Mbanasor currently holds offers from schools like Houston, SMU, North Texas and others. – (Super K)
– JK Dobbins: As we mentioned yesterday, OU running backs coach Jay Boulware stopped by to visit 2017 RB & Ohio State commit JK Dobbins (La Grange, TX). Regarding said visit, Dobbins told TFB “it was great seeing him.”
Prior to committing to the Buckeyes, Dobbins had visited OU on multiple occasions. Many even believed the Sooners likely led for Dobbins, which only made his commitment to Ohio State all the more surprising. Clearly the OU staff has not abandoned their recruitment of Dobbins, who it would appear is at least still listening, but how serious he is about OU remains to be seen. – (Super K & Andrew)

You punk. I was about to type the same thing.
LOL sorry Sam.
Have you had a chance to read the material?
Yessir I have. Been meaning to contact you about it. I’ve been away with work. Have you been published?
Not yet. Trying to, though.
Man, keep trying. I don’t think you’re that far off. Really, all you need is one break.
SW, thanks! Those are kind words. I really do believe I am close. I have to keep working at it.
I don’t write much, but I do read a lot. My brother has been published. Something I’ve learned from him is you shouldn’t be worrying about getting published when you could be writing. The publishing will take care of itself.
I try to spend as much time as I can. It allows me to get connected with my thoughts. I absolutely love writing.
Where could I find your brother’s material?
Sam, honestly unless you live in Louisiana its kind of difficult to find his stuff. You can find it on Amazon under James Woods. However I would imagine I can get him to send you some stuff. The guy I really recommend though is a great family friend of ours. His name is William Bernhardt. I actually had him as a college professor a few years back. He has his own website http://www.williambernhardt.com. I would definitely check it out. He is a great writer.
SW, I appreciate the offer. As your brother’s material is published, I’d prefer to buy it. He should not give away his creative labor. I will search for it and make the purchase. I have about five books lined up right now and I’ll add it to my list to read.
I will check out the professor’s website.
Thanks for sharing.
Sounds good buddy, I hope you can find something that you like!
SW, thanks! Those are kind words. I really do believe I am close. I have to keep working at it.
Wouldn’t hurt if we beat tOSU. If Samaje declares after the season that could be another enticing factor for JK.
tOSU game is huge on so many levels.
Really hate to mention this, but due to last year’s result, the Texsa game is also even bigger than usual for OU.
Winning the Big 12 outright was great and making the CFP was OUtstanding, but it’s past time to put the shorthorns back in their place.
Also it would help swing some recruits OU’s way from south of the Red River.
I posted this in the Sooner News thread but it deserves a place here too.
APRIL 22, 1889: The Oklahoma Land Rush opens at noon as some 50,000 people scramble to stake a claim within the two million acres of of unassigned land offered under the terms of the 1862 Homestead Act. Settlers known as “Boomers” had been arriving in the region for more than a decade in defiance of federal law and were routinely removed, and after continuing pressure Congress finally opened up a portion of what was known as the western Indian territory for legal settlement. Those enterprising few who snuck in before the official start became known as “Sooners,” a term later adopted as the state motto. By the end of that first day, Oklahoma City had a population of some 10,000 people. The remaining Indian-held lands were opened to settlement by 1893, and in 1907 Oklahoma became the 46th state.
Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/slideshows/today-history-april-2016
At the risk of being ‘not PC’, was reading about the movement underway on campus by NAs, mostly, to banish use of the terms ‘Boomer’, ‘Sooner’ and ‘Boomer Sooner’. That the continued usage of the terms celebrates what was a dark time for NA people and is hurtful. Not seeing how not yelling ‘Boomer Sooner’ is going to help change anything. It’s a historical fact. Oklahoma was Indian land but so was the rest of America.
It was not Indian land at the time of the land runs. The Indian land holdings changed as a result of the Civil War.
They did get rid of “Little Red”.
Jackson sent them here in the relocation called the Trail of Tears. Much of that land set aside for native Americans remains. Almost none of the land opened during the land runs was Indian lands although the whole of Oklahoma was called Indian Territory, of course, before it became a state. The few complaining about Boomer Sooner have no knowledge of history and are part of the perpetually outraged crowd so wrong about everything.
Well, the “stolen” land some complain about was “stolen” from tribe to tribe before settlers came. So it appears that the tradition was well-established.
As for the PC crowd, I say this: BOOMER SOONER!!!
My granddad drove the family wagon behind his father and uncle as they rode off to claim land down around Chickasha. He was nine years old. (Parenthetically, he also played with the boys of Frank James after Frank was let out of prison. Granddad said all Frank James had to do to quiet the boys down was come on the porch and point.)
Great story.
I saw a Mock Draft that had Sterling at 59. KC is an interesting landing spot for him. Alex Smith is a check down machine with the majority of his passes inside 30 or 40. I could see Sterling getting alot of action if he goes there.
As a Chiefs fan, I approve this message
As a fellow Chiefs fan, I approve of your approval.
And the ayes have it. The motion passes.
I also saw a mock having him go to the Giants, I was like…ummm…no.
He’d be the perfect compliment to OBJ though. But NO NO NO WAY to the Giants. PLEASE!!!!!!
BIG Giants fan here so YES YES YES WAY
I used to use them in Tecmo Super Bowl. Dave Meggett’s run 3 was the only play my brother had trouble stopping.
Dave Meggett. Now youre bringing up memories.
That’s where I see it happening.. I don’t care for the giants but they lost Cruz.. and need someone to pair with Odell.
He’s going top of the second to my chargers ?. Philipe Rios will get him that rock!
as a SD resident and psuedo Charger fan… I would LOVE this
But I want to see him get a chance to get to the playoffs instead of getting beat by my Raiders every year 🙂
KJ you clearly want him to be a Chief then 😉
I never disliked KC. I always rooted for them when the Raiders fell off each year (almost every year). I think he’d be a good fit there.
Yeah me too, but I am a self admitted homer.
Fair enough! Rivers has 3, maybe 4 years left before we go into total rebuild mode. If we don’t draft Ramsey I’ll lose my mind ?
KJ you have always been one of my favorite posters … I’m going to try hard not to hold this against you
Hahaha at least we have OU in common.
KJ1123 – sho you right! Raider Nation…lol
We need someone other than Keenan (top5 receiver when he’s healthy) and Benjamin to work the middle of the field and give Rios that safety blanket.
The Steelers & Saints would be great landing spots for Young Shep.
I don’t see him lasting that long in the draft. He will go earlier.
I would take him as the 5th WR off the board instead of 7th.
He should be picked no later than 40th…
Especially the run of WRs that will happen late.. Bengals, Lions, Minnesota.. that’s 3 easily.. 4th..Baltimore
40th. 5th…Giants
So are RB options are , JK Dobbins , Trey Sermon ( OU Leads ) , AJ Davis ( OU Leads ) , Cam Akers. I really like our RB options this year.
I’ll be fine with any of those young men. I personally want Trey, but the smaller shiftier guy in Dobbins would certainly go well with the bigger more physical runner in Anderson.
Well we are taking two RB’s so we could take both JK & Trey. I want Trey & AJ , also AJ & James Robinson want to play together in College.
Robinson is a total STUD. He’s the kind of player that would make a massive impact to our roster.
He reminds me of Sammy Watkins.
He’s more like Julio Jones, the kid is huge already lol.
We definitely need a WR like him on this roster.
He’s got first round talent written all over him. All we need is a couple guys from the south east to commit and open that pipeline. I wish Bandy would get on their asses and recruit publicly a little more lol
James is first round talent , we need to get the whole SoonerSquad on those south east kids.
I think recruiting will be relatively slow until the season kicks back up. That first month could be huge. Three big wins against teams that all finished with 10 or more wins last year would get recruiting rolling even more than it is. These summer camps will be so different from years past; we actually have ballers committed who can recruit their butts off while the camps are taking place.
The Opening will be huge for OU. We have a lot guys who got invited and they can help spread the OU brand plus they can recruit some of those top prospects.
For sure. Another playoff run would be the icing on the cake for our class. We would close out so strong and reap the rewards with the 18 kids as well. I’m so ready to get back to the teams we had in the early 2000’s. Had we given up 300 yards rushing back then all of us would have lost our minds. It seems to happen two to three times a year now. It’s unbelievable, really.
More beef on D should bring down those rushing yardage totals.
Without a doubt. I want walker and gallimore at the end positions with big ole Romar and Overton at the nose. That’s an NFL front that’s extremely athletic for how big they are.
Sounds good to me.
My thoughts exactly
Good point about Mr. Robinson. He and his RB compatriot are two that would make FINE Sooners.
What a major coup if OU could bring in both AJ and Robinson. It’s almost not fair that some hs team is having to face both of those guys on the same night.
Very unfair.
Very fair if the team they face is texsa –
I think AJ Davis would be perfect in Lincolns offense.
our*
ruo!
Watch out Metz – If I don’t get after you, I will sick Dustin on ya’. 🙂
Metz shouldn’t type any word that starts with the letter “O”.
A fair point, other than OU, of course.
He should spell it out. The “U” is a few keys down from the “P”, which is kind of risky for a guy on probation.
or tUO
Nice! “ONLY ONE” might be safe for Metz too.
Bob, how are today, friend?
Busy. My wife is in the hospital again. Trying to find an apartment to rent so that we can move into town closer to the hospitals and in a space we don’t have to take care. Then I need to sell the house.
But other than that, think are good.
Tough situation Bob – I hope things improve for both of you! I hate to see you sell that view you showed us.
Well it’s going to have to be sold. It’s forty-five minutes from where I work and my wife’s health is so up and down she can’t do much to take care of it and some of the time can’t be left alone.
Take care of her and yourself Bob. Know that all of us TFBers are wishing you both the best!
Bob, I’m sorry to hear that about your wife. I’ll pray for you and your wife. I know that it seems like you can’t catch a break sometimes. Hang in there and reach out if you need anything.
Thanks Sam. Modern medicine has no cure for her problems. Only the Great Physician can cure her.
Bob, your friends at TFB are here for you. I don’t know how deep this hurts you. I only know it hurts. What I say might be awkward or inadequate. But I’m ready to help. Please let me know if I can help.
Sorry Bob. Throwing prayers your way.
So very sorry to hear that, Bob. And from the photo you shared, your home in the hills is beautiful, which is very healing in and of itself. Prayers for you and your wife. And hope a daily foray into the TFB world can ease your worries and bring a smile on occasion.
Well said, hOUligan.
I’m sorry as well. Grant is lovely and we enjoyed living there too but there comes a time when more supporting infrastructure is required. Wish you well. What apartments are you looking at?
Whats wrong with our
What’s*
sic ’em, Sam. LoL. Metz!!
Dustin would be proud.
It’s a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. Andrew Johnson
ROTFLMAO!!!
You are comedy relief on a stick.
Got it from Bob yesterday.
Excellent source!
I was just going to type that but decided to see if you’d fess up but for the record … it was a quote by Andrew Jackson, OUR 7th president.
OUr
Nope – hOUligan. You have internet inference. Jackson did remark on grammar and spelling, but Metz quote is correct.
I stand corrected, Sir. Thank you.
Actually, I think no one really knows the origin –
Here is a scholarly commentary about the whole thing
“This saying and other similar variations have been attributed to numerous people, as well as appearing in print as an anonymous witticism. The Yale Book of Quotations traces its print origins back to at least 1880;3 Ralph Keyes, in The Quote Verifier, concludes that it is simply an “old gag.”
So they attribute the quote to an old aTm grad??
I think the only known, accurate quote from an Aggie grad is:
“texsa SUCKS!”
This is probably the correct answer. However, it is important to note that Engrish spelling really didn’t start being standardized until the nineteenth century.
Yes! And the type setters and scripting made it worse. In the 18th century, “f” and “s” were almost interchangeable.
That said – I have “crawling skin” when I read should “of” or could “of” on these otherwise wonderful threads.
As Internet watering holes go this one actually has people with a decent mastery of the English language. I try to not make too big a deal of it because I would prefer people to be able to post without fear of being chastised. I know that I often post a quick comment from work and don’t always have time to check for the occasional substitution of similar sounding words. I type what I hear in my head. Well most of it. Not those “other” voices.
Glad someones has my back at least sometimes.
Hey…I’ve had your back. Had looked up the quote yesterday after Bob posted and found a site erroneously attributing said quote to Andrew Jackson. Can’t always trust the danged inter web, neither.
quotationsbook.com/quote/26467
Do they have your back or are they hiding behind you in case there is a spray of bullets?
I will go with hiding!
Man my typing is awful today. A one sentence comment that needed two edits to fix typos.
I new what you ment… see what i did there…their.
U mean gnu what he mint, right?
With the penetrating power of some, best to stand behind, the guy behind the guy, behind Metz 🙂
It’s variously attributed. I have heard Jackson also, but when I looked it up I found Johnson. Of course I got it off the Internet so who knows.
… that got dropped in the dirt. LoL
Perhaps quoting from an impeached president is not the top authority to consider. 🙂
Jackson was never impeached, just fyi.
Yes he was! He was NOT convicted in the Senate (by one vote).
Was not!
You say not “him peached.” I say him was impeached 🙂
Uz guys are craking me down
Andrew JOHNson was impeached, but JACKson never was.
Source: First several links on Bing.
True. We were talking of JOHNSON after Metz attribution of the saying to him. I mis-read your writing of “Jackson” assuming Johnson since that was of whom we had been speaking.
When you type JOHNSON in caps it reminds me….of well myself!
Well, you better watch out for Johnson this weekend.
LOL
Sorry then. Your reply was to Metz, but Metz never mentioned Johnson as far as I saw; it looked like it was only Bob. So I assumed you were referring to Metz and not Bob.
It’s all good. I should have read it more clearly. Metz comment to Sam on spelling “what’s” right above mine reads “Johnson” on my screen, but updates and edits may be in play.
Fair enough. And well, I learned something new today, that doesn’t have anything to do with the MCAT. Gonna call that a win.
Studying for Med School – good luck and well-done to get to that point. (At least, that is the only definition of that acronym I know).
Appreciate it. Actually taking it tomorrow morning, so I’m peaking in here to break up the last minute review session.
Good luck! [Can’t say “knock’em dead” or “break a leg” to a prospective doctor – :)]
Eh, I’ll have to slice a cadaver at some point, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it ;).
OK, I’m a little older and have to take a water pill so….URO!*!*
We have Euros on the board? Nice.
Good job Clint. This is one of the longest threads on grammar/spelling in months. It is a long off-season and we need what we can get. 🙂
OOOOOPS
http://www.dcclothesline.com/2016/04/22/liberal-newspaper-editor-correcting-bad-grammar-is-racist-rules-were-invented-by-wealthy-white-people/
He could have written “So, are our” ( I’m sorry, I meant wrotten) Whoops, re-read. I am incorrect. (whoops, I meant re-red)
Need 1 more don’t see Perine leaving after 3 years. Mixon might but would be better off staying
I actually think Mixon will likely play for four thanks to an incident I won’t mention. The NFL is going to have to look closer and closer at character, and while I don’t think Joe has poor character it might raise that question. The farther removed from that the better.
Yeah the rb’s coming out this year is deep and good
A buckeye beat down on Sep 17th could make Dobbins rethink his commitment… definitely, couldn’t hurt.
I’m on board just for the sheer joy of a ‘buckeye beatdown’ … never mind about Dobbins. But if he wants to re-check his dna afterwards … cool.
Seibert should change his name to Austin Von Seibert just for that game….really spook the buckeyes.
Sounds legit to me.
Maybe for the return visit to Columbus. That would be hilarious.
This is why a recruit should always pick OU over Ok State!
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/florida-is-the-best-school-in-the-country-at-producing-nfl-draft-busts/ar-BBs4EY0?li=BBnba9I
Or Florida or Florida State. So all the Fla recruits – come to OU.
Sixtieth
I’ve been there…and will be there soon!
Our O-Line will be extremely salty in 17. This year is still kinda wait and see. But next year….and with Baker gone I feel we’re gonna lean on the run game a ton. And who knows…we may end up with a quality transfer too, jus sayin.
We need that. 17 line could remind us of 2008. The QB will be more like 2007 (at least I hope that good). The “TE” (Andrews) could be as good and the RBs should be too.
Do you have a scoop on a possible transfer or just spitballing?
Just a small rumor…
But it’s WAAAY under the radar right now.
What’s been going on, KJ?
Well, when Baker is gone, the line will be even saltier. AK will have it like Bradford did. That’s the best way to break in a new QB.
You assume AK beats out KM, that competition for QB will make either one of them a stud coming into the season due the fight they will have on hand to win said job. But, if KJ is right about a heavy run game, my belief is the KM is the better fit running a read spread option,
Oh, this thread is great. Everyone is laughing at themselves as much as anyone else.
Fun———
Good fun! To your just prior post – those darn homonyms can be awful (or aweful or offal) 🙂
Exactly. I am constantly criticizing myself for being a inept speller. Time to go put on my hair shirt.
All your base are belong to us.
I thought it was “all your bases are belong to us”.????
After 2 months, lots of money, hundreds of hours of labor, my house is finally listed!
I can now finally disengage lurk mode, and can get back to being more active on here.
Just in time for some evaluations next week =)
Good luck on your house! Now, speculate on the depth chart or some such TFBer sort of thing!
Little out of the loop, so ill go with a classic. Texsa sucks!
NEVER miss with that!
That remark never is out of the loop.
The man comes back and he’s on fire.
I’m working on getting 3 houses ready for sale, it’s a pain!
Good luck with your house and welcome back
Thanks all, good to be back =)
Things are looking good, cant wait to see who we land before summer hits!
What area? I need to start looking for one
Im in bartlesville. Its our starter house, now that we got 2 kids, time for an upgrade =)
so M. Wilson is an extreme longshot to say the least but OU has realistic shots with Greg Rogers and D. Watts? Is that accurate? Any other big time DTs OU is close on?

Yes, yes your right. He means to cause harm.

Good morning——–
Mornin metz.
Mornin, Ray
Hey guys, kinda quiet round these parts
Yep it is.
Off season + nice weather = slow.
Finally, it’s a great day here in Houston. We’ve been beat up pretty good. Problem is, it’s nice but ground is so soft, you really can’t do anything. I’ve been here for two hurricanes but neither of those dropped this amount of rain. I just put a new roof on my house and they finished the last nail on Friday and we got hail Sunday night. My luck.
Sorry about that. I work with a guy who’s brother just put a new roof on his house from the tornado east of Dallas in December and it had 14 holes punched into it from the hail this last week.
Tough to go through. Good luck
It’s all good but the timing was funny. Dallas gets major hail.
It’s a good time to start those oyster beds!, in your back yard.
It’s awfully quiet in here this morning. Those of us who normally lurk need some nuggets of goodness soon. 🙂
https://oklahoma.n.rivals.com/news/scoophd-a-wild-finish-coming
That was good thanks bear.
Thanks RBear, good stuff. I guess OU is not persuing Chucka Hubbard from Canada.
Nice little vid.
Nice breakdown of OUr RB recruiting. Watching Kennedy Brooks film the other day and was really struck by his vision and ability to change direction w/o losing speed. Would not mind at all if he and 1 of Sermon/Davis/Akers were ‘the 2’.
No one ever mistakenly said I had any goodness. But good morning
Goodness is over rated!
And good mornings are relevant
and texsa sucksssssssssss

OK, 3+9=12 😉
I have submitted the request for your salary increase, awaiting approval.
If I need a laugh, I come here. There’s always something that gets me going. This did. Thanx!
He’s got a lot to weed through. Being in Texas for his Senior year is bound to help. He should be able to make it up to a game or two next season.
http://www.scout.com/college/oklahoma/story/1663299-sooners-rising-qbs-list
I like this kid.
What stands out the most with this kid is, it only took Rily 45 mins to pull the trigger. Both in terms of what the kid brings to the table, and Riley’s eye for talent and, how a kid fits his system.

This kid could wind up being Humphrey’s replacement at PR with that speed.
Sub 4.3 is smokin’, hope he can make everything work.
But can he fair catch?
LOL!
Good read, RBear. Here’s hoping it works out for him.
Thanx! Got me juiced.

Hunter Bryant to Washington…
Saturday at work and its 1:03 and texsa suckssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a little something to break the monotony. We’re getting very close to this…
Sure is slow —————-
We need BOOM relief!
Metz out not that it matters——–
Been out trimming around the house, barns, and trailers, backpack spraying everything I don’t want to trim all summer. Shower time and hitting the road to meet up with my wife. Check in later.
This gif needs to be a mandatory daily addition to TFB. Thanks!
Hi, fellers.
Who you calling feller!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to you all for the kind words yesterday. They have diagnosed my wife with seizures that mimic strokes but are not actual strokes. The good news with the seizures is that she will recover after a few days rather than some of the effects being permanent as they would with a stroke.
We rented an apartment in town and will be selling our house.That will put us closer to the hospital and close to my work so I can help out more. We will be moving over the next couple of weeks so I may not be on here as much.
Try to fill the class up with five star DL and OL while I am busy.
Bob my friend you are in my thoughts, God bless.—-

good luck to you, wife, family
Prayers for a speedy recovery
Hang in there Bob.
So sorry to hear about her battle. I wish for her a speedy recovery. A friend of mine just got out of the hospital with the exact same thing. Before that I had never heard about it. Prayers and blessings.
I guess I missed this Bob. Hopes and prayers sent your way.
Take care of her and yourself. I hope everything works out for the best.
So sorry Bob. Praying everything will work out for the good. Romans 8:28
Prayers Bob. Hoping for the best.
Prayers going up, Bob.
My family’s Prayers are with you and your family.
Prayer for your wife, your family and all those that will be attending to your wife
Godspeed to your wife good sir.
As with any friend of family member, (even those we have never, and may never meet face to face). My wife’s and my prayers are with you and your wife. 1 Pet 2:24 3 Jn 2 I speak and pray love, health, healing and life into you and your family.
Praying for you and your wife Bob.
Bob, just got home from grandson’s baseball tourney and saw this. Praying for your wife and for you, too. Good luck with the move.
Bob, just got back from Cali and was very sorry to hear about your wife. Truly wish you both the best.
We also had to leave Grant to move to Huntsville. We regretted the decision at first but it has turned out well. Best wishes.
All my best to you and your wife! We are all rooting for you two – Sooner FAMILY. We will anxiously await your return. I will try to up my game to partially fill the loss of your erudite voice.
Had no idea as I wasn’t on here yesterday. I wish you guys the best and hopefully they can handle the seizures with meds. Take care.
Bob, I will definitely be praying for you and your wife.
Good luck with the move, and be strong.
I don’t know you well, but from reading TFB I can tell you’re a good man! I pray for you and your entire family! That’s wonderful news ( given the circumstances) that’s it’s only Seizures that mimic strokes. My grandmother actually dealt and is still dealing with something very similar and she’s doing well, so that should be encouraging for you and your family. I look forward to your always insightful and kind of brash comments from time to time while you get situated! Lol. Prayers are up, and is TFBers will do everything in our power to keep the positivity going.
All of our thoughts and prayers for you and your wife.
Very glad to hear she did not have a stroke, but seizures can be a significant issue of their own. I’m grateful she has you to love her and care for her, and she just received another prayer from me.
Sorry to hear about your wife’s challenges Bob. May the good Lord bless you both during this time. Prayers for comfort and healing. You have the TFB family in your corner – as mentioned numerous times in this thread – with prayers being continually lifted. NOTE: We’ll work on those 5 stars in the meantime…
Good luck to you and your wife, Bob. I feel certain everything will work out for the best. She is in my prayers.
God bless you guys. Praying for your entire family, Bob.
Tonight in Orlando. If this doesn’t melt your face…

I think you have posted before but it never loses quality. 🙂
I’ll get repetitive after a while. However, I never lose my charm.
Glad you posted it again, thanks. Just started learning to play guitar and now am totally hooked.
Proficient. Fast. Astonishingly technical. Two of the greatest guitarists.

This was special. Thanx. Always knew about McLaughlin, but not Paco.
Well gents, back from the big DW and wore slap out. Looks like I didn’t miss much. Here’s to a boom this coming week.
BTW, Boomer Sooner was in full representation at the morning opening of Magic Kingdom Friday. Kids got to open the park up at the train station with all characters and take a private ride on the fire truck. Was pretty sweet. Made it worth every penny.

What a tribute to Prince by Adam Levine! He shreds the guitar!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w2lNpixqOc
Geez, that was great! Thanx! Didn’t know Adam could play so well.
Nice!
Adam Levine & Maroon 5 have done some good stuff and Adam’s a very talented musician, but some songs should be left to the original artist, especially Prince’s signature song. There is no person or band on this planet who can match or improve on Prince’s original. They should stick to renditions of “Let’s Go Crazy” or “Take Me With U” not Purple Rain.

nhl………it’ll be game 7 for hawks/blues…………kudos to both, great series
Go Blackhawks!!!
What are they doing to the sport of basketball. If I fell down after taking the elbow Durante threw the other night I would never show my face again. So much crying and flopping. The foul Durant got ejected on. Give me a break
Mavs are cry babies and tattle tales! Refs spent mucho time watching replays. LOL.
Sooners win series against West Virginia. Go for Sweep today at Noon. Nice to see all the freshman hitting big yesterday. Maybe we are on a upswing.

Good job SBallers! Gasso is a coaching jewel – glad to have her as a Sooner.
The Ladies are clicking. Awesome! I love to watch them on TV. Kind of reminds me what sports are all about.
Was at The Mont eating chips and queso with a club sandwich. So good.
Stadium construction coming along. Each of those openings is a store front. Soon there will be a Nordstrom’s, Kohl’s, Target, Macy’s, Chipotle, Carrabba’s, Dick’s, and Top Golf. It’s gonna be great!
I love me some Carrabba’s. My 14 -year old granddaughter once asked while we were at the mall and passing a Dick’s, “Hey Grandpa, if they sell staples at Staples, what do they sell at Dick’s?” I, of course, had no answer except to redirect her to the opposite side of the mall.

Hello
Hey Sooner fans, in light of the slow traffic this weekend, I thought I’d come on over with a question. Outside of the 5 star or otherwise “elite” talent that’s out there, which guy are y’all really hoping OU scoops up? So I guess we’re talking low 4 star, 3 star, sleeper level type of guys.
We would tell you, but then…… Ha Ha. jk
Mean, to me some of those low 4 star to 3 star kids are under rated. But, in that boat 3 kids i think OU need to land is DT Deiontae Watts, Plano, TX 6’3 302, ATH DE TE Nick Robinson Putnam City West, OK 6’4 220, and DE Isaiah Thomas. Tulsa Memorial, OK, 6’4 230.
Totally agree with this guys the only other guy that I would like to get but don’t think we will have pace is Jacob Phillips at ILB. Seems to really be flying under the radar
Well he is solid and it’s clear we are on him. But, he isn’t as good IMO as Hines, Browning, and Jordan-Swelling. Now not saying he isn’t good but, With Draper on board and considering the 5 we took last class and with Youngquist situation unknown I am not sure how many we take. But, seems to me we are in a really good spot with Hines and Addison Gumbs, and they seem to like Gumbs a lot also.
How do y’all feel about Creed Humphrey? Have y’all offered him yet?
I think we are pretty good with Creed but I think it’s good for him to look around. We hope to keep him but we have stiff competition.
Well it’s not often that you guys lose out on local talent, except to maybe the Pokes. I like the kid, but I’m not really sure where his floor or ceiling is at this point. Is he an underrated gem, or is he 2-3 year project?
Exactly! It is always a great spot to be in when you can be content to let a guys like Phillips go because you have too many players at that position. I hope we can land Browning but I don’t know
Throw in DT Deontre Thomas 6’3 280 from Mustang. Got a Nebish offer to go w/ Mich, Miss, aTm and arkie.
Homegrown. We have to get him ala Gerald McCoy.
Even Chuck comes to TFB for his insider info!

……. looking for some new lineman offers ……
nhl…….caps finally rid themselves of the pesky flyers and their goalie that was great……..sets up caps vs sid-the-kid, et al……that should be fun
Can’t wait to watch AO shoulder Cindy Crysby into the boards, repeatedly.
How about Minnesota scoring twice in 16 seconds? Wow.
how ’bout the whole damn 3rd period………started off with a stupid dallas penalty, wild goal and chaos ensued
Crazy for sure.
nhl……dallas stars avoid a 3rd period implosion with the help of wild scoring a dallas goal, hang on to advance and I mean hang on…….the stars really missed the absence of seguin but the wild were without 2 top players and gave them all they could handle and then some…….kudos to both
What is this talk about Quick moving from WR to CB? Did I read information from other board incorrectly?
Not incorrect as I understand it. I think coaches considered the move but left him at receiver, either his choice or theirs.
I thought he could be all american DB and potentially 1st round NFL draft if he would have concentrated at DB but he wanted to play on offense. I hope he does switch sides if it isn’t too late to hone his defensive skills. He could be all world on defense IMHO.
You read right but he is not planted at WR. From what Gundy has said in some interviews it sounds like Quick has really improved and his prep and his game.
Game of thrones!!!!!!
I watched game of thrones

I just started the premiere for season 6
