Let’s get this day started!! BOOMER!!
Sooner!
SOONNNNER
The dog on the kid, LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
It’s not cool man, he’s likely going to grow up an Aggie now
or a longhorn.
the longhorn was the kid dancing because he finally caught a football
Only if he liked it.
Took me a good five minutes to recover from laughing at that.
That was unexpected and hilarious. I love Soonerfan’s comment, that the kid will probably become an Aggie. That’s hilarious too. Thanx Jordan. Laughter is a good way to start any day.
That vine is intense. So much WTF in there
I about fell out of my chair laughing when i saw that poor kid!!!
Narcos looks like another solid Netflix project..
It good to see lampkin staying “cool” through all this
Hate to see a kid get burned like this.
Oh I just meant the picture
the kid is not getting burned…..he wants one thing ; his momma another. seems like a guy who’ll wind up somewhere in the SEC
Texas told him his future position coach wasn’t going anywhere then the guy promptly left for another job. Neither side is w/o fault here, that much is clear.
Kick Rocks!!
I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, but I have to at least wonder if Texass wouldn’t be quite so stubborn about Lampkin if maybe he didn’t come out and say he was going to try going to OU when he realized being a whorn was looking to be a long shot at the beginning of the summer.
EDIT: Is there any precedent concerning the conditional release of a student athlete from his or her NLI? For example, “We will let you out of your NLI due to your inability to meet our enrollement requisites…provided you agree to not attend and play for our hated rival.”
Yeah. Completely agree. I hate what’s happening to him and I loathe tejas but I was just talking about his nipples in the picture. Swing and a miss for my humor
Oh, that is funny. I just missed it…and the nipples!
The Ian Boyd piece was well done.
Indeed, he puts out some great articles, with that Preseason All Big 12 piece from last week being the exception.

I love this young man’s video. As a pulling guard from my playing days I am thoroughly impressed with his body control, quickness and technique.
Would love to hear what JY has to say about this big boy.
….and shear nastiness…
I’m not usually one that condones negative recruiting tactics, but I hope OU shows possible recruits how UT is handling Lampkin and how Texas Tech handled Mayfield (I’m sure there are plenty other examples), and then shows them how OU has been gracious when allowing players and/or incoming freshman to transfer without restrictions. Not only does this show that they could have a built-in contingency plan if something goes awry at OU, it also shows the character of the coaches at the respective schools.
How about Bama releasing that lineman that didn’t get to come back after they found that he did nothing wrong.
I don’t remember hearing about that one, but it doesn’t surprise me. Most of the family of the players want their kids to go to a school where they will be treated like family. Well, you’d think that when they see the sick games these elite universities are playing with lives of these young men that it would give them pause. OU can give these athletes the same opportunities as any other university (unless you want to argue the merits of academic opportunities at schools like Stanford), plus you get coaches and administrators with HIGH character who are truly looking at what is in the best interests of these young men.
Personally, I thought that Rousey deal was straight fire. But then again that’s pretty much her everyday M.O. Still though, that was freaking awesome.
The poor little kid with the dog on him was funny, but after I thought about the parent camera operator, I would have stopped filming and gotten the dog off my kid.
I had the same thought and what kind of parent would upload the vid of his child being traumatized?
Wow, you’re right. Now I feel bad for having laughed.
I got a chuckle initially, but then felt for the kid also. Hopefully, the kid will be able to laugh it off in the future. I think that most of us that have been raised with animals in our lives have had a mutt that was afflicted with a similar problem.
G-Day minus 51
Three All-Americans with the number 51
Wayne Lee AA
Excellent choice!
A few other names for #51…Bill Bechtold/Kurt Burris/Broderick Simpson.
Thank you EasTex. Will have to see if I can find a pic of them.
The countdown, numbers slowly getting lower.
I know I am getting psyched. I am so ready for live action, instead of the replays.
I know what you mean. I have watched so many of the replays I have even taken to watching some against UTEP, Tulsa, ULM and La Tech.
Have you seen this one? It will need updating in a couple of years.
https://youtu.be/dx8cpJS3L80
Love this video. Just watched it again twice. Unforgettable Sooners.
Yes sir, Great video, it has been on my favorites list for a while now. Never gets old. I believe you are correct in that it will need updating shortly. I watch a lot of old OU Youtube video, just to appreciate the history of Excellence thru the years.
Me, too. I’m reduced to watching everything I’ve got or can find to pass the slow hell dog days till this season finally starts. Thanks for the countdown pics.
G-Day minus 51
Three All-Americans with the number 51
Kurt Burris AA
I bet Shannon would have been a preseason All-American too if he would have had the opportunity to play last year…Super pumped for this season to start.
Good job, I didn’t see you had posted Burris’ image before I commented below.
No worries bruh. That is what I figured.
G-Day minus 51
Three All-Americans with the number 51
Carl McAdams AA
Fred Biletnikoff in background is awesome!
Yep, some GREAT 51s! As always, fine job and thanks!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy
J Laaawwww…
You betcha! Hate to see DeNiro in there though since he simply plays himself regardless of the role for the last 20 years
The prop manager fell down on the job, she needed one of these.
http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/short-barrel-no-hassle-black-aces/
That’s pretty bada$$!
Yessir, and pricey.
Yeah I just saw that…a little steep.
I gosta get me one of these!
I know what you mean, I will be writing to Santa early this year.
My house has 4 different choke points, the best one being a 90° left turn in the hallway about 10 feet from bedroom door. I would NOT want to be a home invader trying to breach my bedroom if someone was covering the hall with that piece of hardware.
Good evaluation, but there is a reason home invaders don’t work at the Johnson Space Center.
Only twenty three days till we can start complaining about Stoops not letting any information out of practice.
Hopefully “sources” can nourish us with nuggets of knowledge.
Mbanasor looks like a potential All American at corner and Haughton has All B12 FS written all over him. Trevor Knight has taken a major step forward and reminds us of a young Steve Young. Ok I should wake up now
I now have the scene in Waynes World in my head where he meets Tia Carrere
LOL!
I had forgotten that scene.
Saw Gary Wright at a mega concert back in the 70’s, along with Santana/Wolf Man Jack/Peter Frampton.
That SNL cast was awesome, the last time I really like SNL too
I stopped watching SNL after the John Belushi era.
Meyers, Farley, Sandler, Rock, plus Carvey, Spade, Schnieder
Jim Breuer too I think
More of you. Less of the Dale. I like it
our names share 3 letters, that is all
More steffy dale!
Alabama Ring Head Guy reminded me of The Ten dumbest Fanbases In America series Clay Travis wrote. It should come as no surprise that Alabama came in at number one. I don’t read much of what he puts out, but he did say some things that were pretty funny/accurate about bama fan.
http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/outkick-the-coverage/the-ten-dumbest-fan-bases-in-america-1-the-alabama-crimson-tide-102913
Some of the comments are worth reading too!
I wonder if espn is anywhere near fallen off their pedastool. Saw Jordan retweet that they’ve lost over 3 million subscribers in the last year (wonder if that has more to do with no football for the last 6 months and may pick back up soon). But cowherd is now leaving. So is olbermann(not a big deal) but it seems their hosts keep looking for greener grass.
I would love to see fox go all in and try to steal their audience.
I have heard many complaints from people all over the country about espn’s all sec all the time coverage. It’s possible that has had an impact.
As for Fox Sports, it seems they are having financial troubles and have had to lay some people off.
Hence the reason for the courage award at the ESPYS this year. Sole reason was to drive ratings.
How about Mon’e Davis getting the Newcomer Award over Jordan Spieth? How does a girl who’s team didn’t even win get the award over a kid who’s possibly going to do something in golf that hasn’t been done since like the 1800s?
Don’t know anything about golf, but care to expound on that?
Read this article, it shows how significant his masters win was, and the guy isnt even 22 yet, which makes it all the more insane.
Ya that kid deserves the newcomer of the year, by a country mile.
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/jordan-spieth-masters-record-tiger-woods-youngest-by-the-numbers
Thanks.
no problem at all
This was posted by SportsCenter this morning. Crazy Stat of Day: Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods have played 19 rounds in the same tournaments this year.
Spieth is 110 strokes better.
ESPiN not only fosters the SEC channel but the programming on ESPNU is largely SEC-related. So tired of anything SEC.
I’ve been saying all along that one day the Executives at ESPiN are going to wake up one day and realize that no one wants their product.
It seems like targeting households in Louisiana, Alabama and miss would be a bad business model. They aren’t overly populated and aren’t the weathiest of states. They just have fans who are buying what espn is selling for now.
You are absolutely correct, Zack. That garbage appeals to them for now. I honestly don’t watch very much ESPiN.
I was in the break area in my office, just a few minutes ago. There are TVs on ESPN. They are all over the SEC Media Day. You watch, they will not give the other conferences this kind of coverage.
And I don’t want to take away from the sec. I think they have brilliant people working for them and they managed to take advantage of the spotlight they earned.
I believe many of their subscribers have moved on because aside from live games, much of their programming, SportsCenter included, is being replicated thru different media. I can pull highlights of games up on my iPad or iPhone in just a minute or two, and not have to waste valuable time in front of the TV or digest all the bias that comes with the ESPN agenda.
I’d love to see Fox go after ESPN, but it will more likely be a number of competitors that eventually chip away at their massive grip on live games. If that’s ever going to happen, it won’t be soon enough!
And I should also mention those @#!$%@!#’s shoved the LHN down my throat too. There’s another reason to dislike their influence in sports media.
ESPN has moved away from sports much the same way MTV moved away from music videos
Charlie Strong needs to take a page out of BS book and release Lampkin. I get so tired of these schools holding these kids hostage.
Boren/Cast/ Stoops makes the cluster over at Texas look lame. How do you botch the hires at arguably the most lucrative/ successful football program in the country?
Hire a new AD, FB and BB Coach and subsequently drive them to change “personal style”…. really? Maybe the problem is with the boosters themselves.
I thought when you set out to hire a CEO, you do so expecting full integration of their fabric- mannerisms, and business acumen that comes with it. Oh, these whorns….
I smell what you’re cooking.
It is a strange place there, arrogance drips from the trees and oozes from the walls.
They actually give degrees in arrogance.

Wondering, with this new OL offer, what it is that a guy like Rowdy Frederick is missing..? Does JY have an opinion on that…?
He hasn’t camped w/ OU and I think the coaches just want to see him in some games this season. Combine that w/ their scholarship numbers and the likelihood they take somewhat of a smaller OL class.
Honestly, I think it’s that simple.
This kid is pretty good. Watched his 1 on 1s from the opening, had some good reps.
The Vine of the kid and the dog … er …. um …well …. “greeting” his sibling literally brought me to tears
TFB is always my first stop. However, I clicked over to Ouinsider and noticed that the “Thursday Headlines” appear to be locked now. Is this a recent development?
Once I discovered TFB, I cancelled my OUInsider subscription. Haven’t looked back.
