This podcast is what I love about OU football. It is so much more than a single individual. OU is family. We may love or hate each other, but we are still family and I will be there if 'they' try to hurt you. BOOMER SOONER for life!!!!!
@@soonerstone80 Dead serious. OU's offense was ranked 27th this year. The lowly 4-8 SC was ranked 24th in offense. The offense of our new OC at Ole Miss was ranked 4th. That's a substantial upgrade. OU's defense wasn't even in the top 50 in the country. We were ranked 68th! I mean the lowly 4-8 SC was 89th. The defense under our new head coach while his time as the DC at Clemson was perennially a top 10 defense with most years finishing in the top 5. I'm not sure how closely you watched Oklahoma Football this year but we barely beat 6 of the 9 unranked teams by one score, and we lost to 2 of the 4 ranked teams that we played. I mean crap we were down 10-0 at half to Kansas for crying out loud.
Two things I enjoyed in this episode 1) The alfredo pasta story by Gabe and 2) The advertisement from Teddy that Schmitty is back but it's still hardcore Seltzer season. Great stuff as always.
Loyal OU supporter here in Denver. Look forward to every episode and listening to both Teddy and Gabe discuss and analyze the Sooners. Really excited for next year and coach Venables!
Genuine, sincerity, integrity.......That is what has returned to the football team. That has never left the University or the athletics department other than the football program. Watching the softball championship last year is just another example of what is stellar about our University
Good lord man, I’m ready to run through a wall! Joe C. and Coach Venny assembling a cast of ride or die OU guys. Rallying around the program after this internal attack has been amazing. I haven’t seen anything like it in my 45 years. We are in the right hands for our move to the SEC. The reactions from former players has been fantastic!
This whole coach situation over the last week feels just like when we came from behind to beat Texas! BV is pulling a Caleb type turn around from edge of despair to a positive game changing results! Teddy drops the 'cache' word!
He deserves this for his hard works and being here for Oklahoma football finding the needs and strength to rebuild the nation of sooners. From past to now
Two years. Same resume. Bob and Brent. Two years. One natty. The reset is here. We got upgreyed! The after interviews where he genuinely spouts a personal philosophy. This dude is football Tony Robbins! Which is the only occupation / philosophy where I could take Tony Robbins! He is going to kill! ^Also, love you guys. In trying times..you came through here.
I love that he talked about the players having fun. What I got out of that was he was referring to mental health. We sometimes forget that these are college kids and not NFL players. They have way more on their plate than an NFL player. Sometimes they need to have fun. I am pretty freaking excited because during the Texas Tech game I was struggling to stay awake. I have never done that during a game. Lincoln Riley united Sooner Nation after he left. He thought he could break us but we are more stronger than ever. We needed this reminder.
Gabe, it feels good to me when someone cares enough to remember me, and engage me in conversation. I’ll never forget seeing Coach V with his family at the Little League ball park in Norman years ago. I leave those guys alone, but in my short observation it was obvious he adores his family, and he’s a regular happy and genuine guy. That speaks more to me about Coach V as a man, than anything he does at work. With that said, I’m proud that he’s back and I know he will succeed!!!
I'm an OSU fan. That being said, I am a OKLAHOMA SOONER fan until the Sooner s play the Cowboys. I'm an OKIE. I was very upset and mad the way Riley left. I'm so excited with the hire of B V. Venables is going to do something Riley couldn't do and that is. Venables is going to take the Sooners to the National Championship game and WIN. EXCELLENT hire. PROUD TO BE AN OKIE.
@@kevinh8244 When I was growing up in Oklahoma everyone was an OU fan. But not everyone goes to OU, I went to ORU, many went to OSU, but few actually go to OU. Nevertheless, I be a Sooner until I die.
Right? I don't feel like we need a top 3 recruiting class to win it all with a coach like Venables, and Lebby at OC. With Riley you just knew it couldn't happen unless we had 22 4, and 5 star players on the field .
@Chris your program will need those 22 four & five star players because y'all are going to the SEC remember. No more weak big 12 conference play. What program wouldn't want 22 four & five star players on their roster?? That's exactly the type of roster ou will have to build up & maintain in order to compete with Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc. year in & year out.
@@BangTheGavel1911 Clemson was on Alabama's level because of Venables, and although recruited well, they still started a lot of 3 star players. So, no we don't need our starters to be 4 star and better players with Venables at the helm. He is going to give Saban a heart attack.
I have been questioning how good Riley really was. Baker: was great because he could extend drives. He would move in the pocket, shead tackles and hit a WR who broke off his route. Kyler: faster than everyone else. If nothing was open, he would take off. Hurts: He would either hit Lamb who would go beast mode or he would take off running. Spencer: 1st QB Riley recruited..... Did not get developed.
LR set the Lambo(OU 21-22) on fire BV saw it burning and ran it over with BIGFOOT then the Wagon rolled out with SMITTY and Lebby taking the reigns. This program has already AROSE into a PHOENIX. BV and Co will keep the CHAMPIONSHIP DNA ALIVE
I want to see our D return to hard, aggressive play, tackling fundamentals return, and hard-hitting play. I am sure VB and the D Coordinator will get all that worked out. Lebby will work well on the offensive side and coach QB's so we should good there and get our base run game back so the passing will be complemented. Good times are returning.
Venables + Lebby is a massive upgrade over Riley + Grinch. OU is in good hands. Riley is scared to play in the SEC (where his 3 playoff losses are). Venables has been at Clemson for 10 years and has been the DC on 2 National Championship teams at Clemson (1 more at Oklahoma). Lebby ran the #4 offense in the country this year playing in the SEC. Riley ran the #11 offense in the country this year playing in the Big 12. LEBBY IS A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE UPGRADE OVER RILEY! VENABLES IS A MASSIVE DEFENSIVE UPGRADE OVER GRINCH!
@@BangTheGavel1911 lebby in 2019 had the 5th best offense in the nation at ucf his first year being oc. the next year and his first at ole miss he had the 3rd best offense (according to espn, I cant find the ncaa offense stats for 2020). in 2021 he has the 4th best. so definitely not 1 year of success. every single one of his years at oc have been top 5 and thats at two different schools.
Hey Teddy, I went to the Chickasaw football camp in Ada with Josh Heupel, Rocky Calmus, and Josh Norman in 06-07. Caught some passes from Heupel. Think you were at the Lions. Awesome podcast guys. Boomer Sooner!
While I was a student at OU (2009-2013), I would often see Venables running by himself on campus and Schmidt following behind him. They are a really good team and each compliment the other coach. I don't know much about Lebby, but I know Coach B is excited to get back to the grind offense. I think the hire(s) have been a home run because they're all very skilled and it's bigger than the nostalgia of the early 2000s.
Have you guys talked bout how amazing it was to be around coach Brent v? I bet it was amazing. I think this football team now will be running the ball on 1st down probably 2nd down and fast easy physical throws on third. I think this team is going to physically take over through running the ball and just being meaner then the other team. Teddy should coach safeties. That would be amazing have linebackers coming down on receivers. Lol
TED WHEN YOU SAID YOU OWED EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO BV . I THINK THAT'S A GREAT STATEMENT, THAT TELLS ME YOU HAVEN'T FORGOT WHERE YOU COME FROM. TO ME THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
Do you guys think that some of the players that have either decommitted or entered the transfer portal will decide to stick with OU now that they can see the coaching staff coming together?
You can really tell the experience and age gap between BV and LR. One is a brilliant mind and still a young kid, the other a seasoned tough mature coach that will surround himself with brillant minded kids. I think Riley was growing into the job and role but was still 5-10 years out. We just jumped 5-10 years down the road.
It sounds completely insane to say this, but I think the fans kinda felt like the program had stagnated this year. We (fans) expected the status quo on offense and a marked improvement in defense. Not entirely unreasonable after the remarkable talent fielded by the offense over the past few years and the hype surrounding the defense. I for one was "concerned" after repeated sub-par performances early, but figured the growing pains weren't insurmountable. Throughout the course of the season though, it never seemed like there was any consistent improvement on either side of the ball (C.W. not withstanding). PRIOR to L.R. announcing his departure, I was not particularly excited about next season. My thinking being, it'll be more of the same next year. The Sooners struggle to get into the playoffs and then get run out of the first game. Change can be (and often is) scary. I whole heartedly believe that for the Sooners to get back to being a team that NO ONE wants to play, this change was not only necessary, but paramount.
Sammy and Baker were both 3 star recruits and won a heisman… because they put the work in. Give me a roster full of Sam Bradfords and Baker Mayfields. We will be in a good spot
@@bastiat9049 Not every Heisman Trophy winner has won a national championship. Who cares how many national championships they have won? There have been some great players who didn't win the Heisman that won a national championship. There have also been great players who didn't win a national championship. Let us Sooner fans be happy with our new HC because last week was a nightmare for us.
Penquin402 none of OUr heisman winners win a national title. However every Bama heisman winner won a national title and it is going to happen again this year most likely
@@bastiat9049 Jason White won a national championship. I think you need to do a little more research. Who is the winningest college football program? Who has had at least 4 players in the last 14 years get drafted? Who has the winningest college football coach of all time?
@@penquin402 Jason white did not win a national championship as a starter, in fact, he was a redshirt during the 2000 national title. He choked away title chances as a starter in 2003 and 2004. Winningest? As far as championships or most games won? Probably Alabama or Notre dame or Michigan for championships and I think Michigan has the most wins of all Div 1A programs. The coach with the most wins in D1A is Joe Paterno. I think you should take off the crimson glasses and do more research, the glasses are clouding your view of the truth.
Did you guys know Venables played a game against Nebraska with KSU in Tokyo? Yeah, that Tokyo! I'd like to hear someone ask him about what that was like at some point.
It's possible that I may have actually been on that very highway that they're naming after Lincoln. I've traveled down the panhandle going to and from Colorado on an elk hunting trip as a young teen. But it was dark, so all I saw was flat open land and stars.. Also traveled through a field of giant windmills as you start entering into Colorado in that area.
I've just got one thing to say When God close the door he always opens another for a better reason Whether we know it At that time But in this short time look what has happened I'm definitely excited because we are definitely gonna be better than we were before All the glory to God Boomer sooner
I'm excited about a few things... 1. Physicality and Discipline emotionally and mentally 2. Respect on BOTH sides of the ball in conference and nationally 3. Depth and less injury prone players from strength, conditioning, and nutrition 4. Development consistently; not just a particular position group. 5. Most of all, happy for the players that they have someone who cares for them in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.
All these former players talking about SMITTY's workouts, one thing that isn't mentioned is as tough as these workout maybe they create a bonding experience with those that have gone through them.
Lebbys offense much more physical run scheme Gap and zone and routes at all levels of the route tree. Riley got so caught up in offensive genius status he wanted quick strikes all the time and didn't have the patience to stick with run game or focus on intermediate routes
If you don't feel like throwing up after a workout then you are not working enough. Hell at 50 years old I feel like throwing up every time dead lift or squat day comes every week
I didn't realize that we NEEDED Lincoln to leave in order to be where OKLAHOMA Football is expected to be! BV is that and we wouldn't have him and others if Lincoln didn't head west! There's only One Oklahoma and we need someone here that really believes that and values what that means to the program, the fans and to all the critics. Lincoln never stood for that, so, good for him. We don't need to showboat, we are literally blue collar and will work for what we have and will be rewarded for that!
Venables has more personality than Stinkin Lincoln. His defensive philosophy is better. His excitement to be at OU is greater. His sense of loyalty is unmatched. Glad to see him back. Ultimately the players leaving and de-committing will be the only problems Stinkin Lincoln has created and those will, hopefully, be short term.
I think Lincoln wanted to get back to where he could be an air raid coach -- a place where he didn't have to worry as much about defense or running the ball. To quote Gladiator, "He'll give them (AirRaid), and they will love him for it."
The first year, there could be issues with buy in. Barring a small player revolt because they were for the most part recruited by a "buddy" type of coach, OU should be in great shape sooner rather than later. IF there should be more serious pushback, that will be tougher and take longer but fans need to be patient if that occurs. By the way, go back and watch highlights of the 2012 OU/Texas game. OU , had Schmitty as S&C coach, Texas had Bennie Wiley. I will say, I hope Schmitty is a tad bit more aware of the RECOVERY aspect of training. I suspect in the past he might have actually overtrained guys to the degree it could be anti productive.
@@daltonmann4916 Yeah, I agree, this issue for the upcoming year will be, how many buy ins? I don't think the "rot" is nearly as advanced as it was during the Blake years where it had set in a good deal worse, but there is some, no doubt.
@@rodgerbane3825 I think the ones who wouldn’t have bought in are the ones who are already in the portal. It feels like the way TBOW left has galvanized the guys who stuck around and they’ll be excited to play for a guy who would never do that.
@@soonerborn7603 And I suspect, particularly for the D guys, the chance at much better development. I think if guys can stick it out they have a lot better shot at pro ball under the Venables regime.
Funny watching venables intro vs Lincoln’s at usc. You’d think Cali (especially with usc’s legendary film school) would have better showmanship vs Oklahoma’s
And hey Teddy is there any truth to the rumors that have you coming to coach linebackers or actually DC for Venables? Oh please tell me HELL YES! #boomersooner
HAVEN'T GONE OUT OR OUR WAY AT ALL...........OU old school is smash mouth, in your face, best of the best FOOTBALL !!!!! BRENT VENABLES IS OLD SCHOOL OU FOOTBALL.......THAT SETTLES IT,...........COACH IS HOME !!!!!!!
I have no clue about how good any transfer quarterback might be that was discussed. Names come to mind who left their school and had some success at their new program: Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Joe Burrow, Justin Fields.
Am I wrong, it seems the players weren’t really excited during his introduction. Maybe I’m reading to much into it but we’ve already lost a lot of players. I think coach V is great but will kids want to play for him. I sure hope so.
I wondered that, myself.. But I'm not going to let it alarm me. Might end up seeing a lot of them get weeded out once they experience the different style/standard of training. I'm sure it'll be a shock to some players, because I suspect Lincoln baby'ed them. If we do see guys leave, and have a down year next year, I'm okay with that. It's going to be a process, and I'm sure it might take some time for the culture shift.
Nah, the introduction of Venables was put together in a couple of hours early on Sunday morning. They had never talked about doing something like that until that morning.....LOL
NIL should be used as incentive for kids to stay in college at the college they were recruited to!! What I mean is to Seniors only at their original school they were recruited to.
Yes Brent Vandenbos and Jeff Lebbie it’s probably the best hire since Barry Switzer and Mangino I love it it’s going to be great our football team is going to have so much fun winning so looking forward to seeing the games in the fall of next year heck man I might even come up there and go to work somewhere with y’all guys somewhere in your engineering department or something at the University Or water boy hey if you paid the right amount I’ll take the job
This podcast is what I love about OU football. It is so much more than a single individual. OU is family. We may love or hate each other, but we are still family and I will be there if 'they' try to hurt you. BOOMER SOONER for life!!!!!
We substantially improved our coaching over the last 2 weeks. Thank God for Venables!!!!!!
You can’t be serious
@@soonerstone80 Dead serious. OU's offense was ranked 27th this year. The lowly 4-8 SC was ranked 24th in offense. The offense of our new OC at Ole Miss was ranked 4th. That's a substantial upgrade. OU's defense wasn't even in the top 50 in the country. We were ranked 68th! I mean the lowly 4-8 SC was 89th.

Good lord man, I’m ready to run through a wall! Joe C. and Coach Venny assembling a cast of ride or die OU guys. Rallying around the program after this internal attack has been amazing.

This has been an epic response to Riley's departure! Boomer!
BOOMER!!!
SOONER!
I guess I feel like were losing some ride or die OU guys on that last defensive staff..
Totally agree! It’s a good reminder for anyone that thinks that they are bigger than the broader OU family will be put in their place.
This whole coach situation over the last week feels just like when we came from behind to beat Texas! BV is pulling a Caleb type turn around from edge of despair to a positive game changing results! Teddy drops the 'cache' word!
GREAT to have Brent Venables back at OU!!
💪🏻🏈 BOOMER FREAKING SOONER🏈💪🏻
Leeeeeettttss Goooooo!!!!
So happy to see "Smitty" back with Coach Venables. My Rottweilers name is "Butkus" so you know what I am looking for

Venables + Lebby is a massive upgrade over Riley + Grinch. OU is in good hands. Riley is scared to play in the SEC (where his 3 playoff losses are).

Riley ran the #11 offense in the country this year playing in the Big 12. LEBBY IS A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE UPGRADE OVER RILEY! VENABLES IS A MASSIVE DEFENSIVE UPGRADE OVER GRINCH!
Lincoln was 55-10,right ?
A first time head coach and an oc who has 1 year of success is a "massive upgrade" over a proven oc/hc in Riley???🤔 How so??
@@BangTheGavel1911 lebby in 2019 had the 5th best offense in the nation at ucf his first year being oc. the next year and his first at ole miss he had the 3rd best offense (according to espn, I cant find the ncaa offense stats for 2020). in 2021 he has the 4th best. so definitely not 1 year of success. every single one of his years at oc have been top 5 and thats at two different schools.

Just guessing ya won’t see Lebby on those runs lol

You can really tell the experience and age gap between BV and LR.

Time for a culture change 💪
I was thinking the same thing about the Knowles hire. He had A LOT of experience on the defense.
Sammy and Baker were both 3 star recruits and won a heisman… because they put the work in. Give me a roster full of Sam Bradfords and Baker Mayfields. We will be in a good spot
How many national titles do they have between them?
@@bastiat9049 Not every Heisman Trophy winner has won a national championship. Who cares how many national championships they have won? There have been some great players who didn't win the Heisman that won a national championship. There have also been great players who didn't win a national championship.
Let us Sooner fans be happy with our new HC because last week was a nightmare for us.
Penquin402 none of OUr heisman winners win a national title. However every Bama heisman winner won a national title and it is going to happen again this year most likely
@@bastiat9049 Jason White won a national championship. I think you need to do a little more research.
Who is the winningest college football program?
Who has had at least 4 players in the last 14 years get drafted?
Who has the winningest college football coach of all time?
@@penquin402 Jason white did not win a national championship as a starter, in fact, he was a redshirt during the 2000 national title. He choked away title chances as a starter in 2003 and 2004.
Winningest? As far as championships or most games won? Probably Alabama or Notre dame or Michigan for championships and I think Michigan has the most wins of all Div 1A programs.
The coach with the most wins in D1A is Joe Paterno. I think you should take off the crimson glasses and do more research, the glasses are clouding your view of the truth.
I love you guys #3.3inchRiley
I haven't seen anything about Odom going to SC?
Did you guys know Venables played a game against Nebraska with KSU in Tokyo? Yeah, that Tokyo! I'd like to hear someone ask him about what that was like at some point.
It's possible that I may have actually been on that very highway that they're naming after Lincoln.
I've traveled down the panhandle going to and from Colorado on an elk hunting trip as a young teen. But it was dark, so all I saw was flat open land and stars.. Also traveled through a field of giant windmills as you start entering into Colorado in that area.
Venebles mean af Clemson style D, and lebbys video game offense , are gonna make ou 2003 scary good again..
If Turk doesn't find a home in the NFL...I predict he will be a position coach in the next few
Teddy Lehman. DC. 😁😁
Teddy what year did you play for oklahoma
I've just got one thing to say When God close the door he always opens another for a better reason Whether we know it At that time But in this short time look what has happened I'm definitely excited because we are definitely gonna be better than we were before All the glory to God Boomer sooner
i remember when i played fb in high school youd have the actual jersey holes imprinted into your skin from the hard hits lol
I'm excited about a few things...
1. Physicality and Discipline emotionally and mentally
2. Respect on BOTH sides of the ball in conference and nationally
3. Depth and less injury prone players from strength, conditioning, and nutrition
4. Development consistently; not just a particular position group.
5. Most of all, happy for the players that they have someone who cares for them in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.
You guys sold me on the fancy corn. I'm gonna buy my Dad a bottle for Christmas 👍
LSU’s recruiting class is tanking harder than OU. They don’t want to be executed by Brian Kelly
And now USC is tanking players to the portal! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can anybody explain why Venables spoke to Riley before he took the job?
All these former players talking about SMITTY's workouts, one thing that isn't mentioned is as tough as these workout maybe they create a bonding experience with those that have gone through them.
watched a ton lef Lebbys offenses and theyre very similar to Riley from my point of view so hopefully wont be too much of a drop off there!
Lebbys offense much more physical run scheme Gap and zone and routes at all levels of the route tree. Riley got so caught up in offensive genius status he wanted quick strikes all the time and didn't have the patience to stick with run game or focus on intermediate routes
Statistically speaking, Jeff Lebby's offenses have been better.
@@kevinbell3224 Lebby run game a lot more innovative. Now hopefully yall can get the running back. 🏃♂️
If you don't feel like throwing up after a workout then you are not working enough. Hell at 50 years old I feel like throwing up every time dead lift or squat day comes every week
I didn't realize that we NEEDED Lincoln to leave in order to be where OKLAHOMA Football is expected to be! BV is that and we wouldn't have him and others if Lincoln didn't head west! There's only One Oklahoma and we need someone here that really believes that and values what that means to the program, the fans and to all the critics. Lincoln never stood for that, so, good for him. We don't need to showboat, we are literally blue collar and will work for what we have and will be rewarded for that!
Venables has more personality than Stinkin Lincoln. His defensive philosophy is better. His excitement to be at OU is greater. His sense of loyalty is unmatched. Glad to see him back. Ultimately the players leaving and de-committing will be the only problems Stinkin Lincoln has created and those will, hopefully, be short term.
I think Lincoln wanted to get back to where he could be an air raid coach -- a place where he didn't have to worry as much about defense or running the ball. To quote Gladiator, "He'll give them (AirRaid), and they will love him for it."
The first year, there could be issues with buy in. Barring a small player revolt because they were for the most part recruited by a "buddy" type of coach, OU should be in great shape sooner rather than later. IF there should be more serious pushback, that will be tougher and take longer but fans need to be patient if that occurs. By the way, go back and watch highlights of the 2012 OU/Texas game. OU , had Schmitty as S&C coach, Texas had Bennie Wiley. I will say, I hope Schmitty is a tad bit more aware of the RECOVERY aspect of training. I suspect in the past he might have actually overtrained guys to the degree it could be anti productive.
jerry will correct all of that real quick! he will separate the "buy ins" from the "buy outs" with one week of workouts! lol!
I think Jerry will separate the team and who stays and goes more than anyone else.
@@daltonmann4916 Yeah, I agree, this issue for the upcoming year will be, how many buy ins? I don't think the "rot" is nearly as advanced as it was during the Blake years where it had set in a good deal worse, but there is some, no doubt.
@@rodgerbane3825 I think the ones who wouldn’t have bought in are the ones who are already in the portal. It feels like the way TBOW left has galvanized the guys who stuck around and they’ll be excited to play for a guy who would never do that.
@@soonerborn7603 And I suspect, particularly for the D guys, the chance at much better development. I think if guys can stick it out they have a lot better shot at pro ball under the Venables regime.
An exciting and hopeful ending to such a stressful and disappointing season.
Funny watching venables intro vs Lincoln’s at usc.
You’d think Cali (especially with usc’s legendary film school) would have better showmanship vs Oklahoma’s
And hey Teddy is there any truth to the rumors that have you coming to coach linebackers or actually DC for Venables? Oh please tell me HELL YES! #boomersooner
HAVEN'T GONE OUT OR OUR WAY AT ALL...........OU old school is smash mouth, in your face, best of the best FOOTBALL !!!!! BRENT VENABLES IS OLD SCHOOL OU FOOTBALL.......THAT SETTLES IT,...........COACH IS HOME !!!!!!!
I thought I missed some deadlines at work when you said today was Thursday.
Yeah...that's just a habit. Most people don't listen to this episode until Thursday so that's our bad😂
I have no clue about how good any transfer quarterback might be that was discussed. Names come to mind who left their school and had some success at their new program: Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Joe Burrow, Justin Fields.
hard times build hard men! we need to be hard!
I'm at lunch it's 12 AM get off at 4 AM. Please let me know when you do another autograph show Lehman would like to add another ball to the shelf.
a good God fearing man should leave a good impression on you
Am I wrong, it seems the players weren’t really excited during his introduction. Maybe I’m reading to much into it but we’ve already lost a lot of players. I think coach V is great but will kids want to play for him. I sure hope so.
I wondered that, myself.. But I'm not going to let it alarm me.
Might end up seeing a lot of them get weeded out once they experience the different style/standard of training. I'm sure it'll be a shock to some players, because I suspect Lincoln baby'ed them.
If we do see guys leave, and have a down year next year, I'm okay with that. It's going to be a process, and I'm sure it might take some time for the culture shift.
I still don't see how y'all don't how more subscribers. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
We are just going to keep putting out good content🤷♂️
@@OK_Breakdown it's the best OU/sports content out there. 💪
Lehman you should come help out with the defense and linebackers and Gabe you should come help with the o line
Nah, the introduction of Venables was put together in a couple of hours early on Sunday morning. They had never talked about doing something like that until that morning.....LOL
What concerns me is will bv use the portal Dabo doesn’t
NIL should be used as incentive for kids to stay in college at the college they were recruited to!! What I mean is to Seniors only at their original school they were recruited to.
Yes Brent Vandenbos and Jeff Lebbie it’s probably the best hire since Barry Switzer and Mangino I love it it’s going to be great our football team is going to have so much fun winning so looking forward to seeing the games in the fall of next year heck man I might even come up there and go to work somewhere with y’all guys somewhere in your engineering department or something at the University Or water boy hey if you paid the right amount I’ll take the job
