  1. These kids aren’t idiots.   And they have advisors / parents/ trainers / uncles / etc. helping them.  Take the bag and go to aggy as a freshmen.  Once there, you either have a clear path to the nfl or transfer in year 1 or 2 to someplace that has a legit NIL.   Get paid brotha.   Aggy is offering up front cash that bama and dawg can’t match.

    BJ Allen and LTG being early enrollees is a big deal.They will have every opportunity to step up. Additionally, all of the guys at IT think Terrance Brooks can play safety too. He is a good enough player that if he's not one of your top 3 corners right away, you let him play safety in order to get him on the field. 

    I’ve seen Brooks play multiple times.  That dude is a difference maker … even as a pup he was smooth and in control every play.  A little on the aggressive side which I’m good with.    He will be on the field this fall.

    Dude, I grew up in the north part of Garland.  Bigggggg suburb. I went to a fairly wealthy public high school 20+ years ago that had impressive amounts of Indian and Pakistani students, Hispanic students of various origin, East Asian Students of all origin, etc.  Probably more exaggerated than the current US census.  I drove by a Sikh temple and a Vietnamese Buddhist temple on my way to school every day.   “Those people” were just as likely to stay at my house on Friday night as my buddies on the football team if we had been out and running and needed to crash.  You don’t have the place to assume or lecture me about cultural shit in the burbs

    What the fuck is this shit?   I knew a black guy, a dot, and a chink so we all good in the hood.

    If you care to read word, the justification is there. The gutting of the roster is mainly in the defensive front 7, which underachieved this year and is getting massive improvement in coaching.

    Granted, I don't know Baylor's attrition situation, but with Gabriel (assuming health) + portal DL + portal WR, I think OU will still be one of the favorites in the B12. Long time between now and then.

     

    Dude.  The OU arrow is pointing down.  I’m not going to spend the time to explain it to you but everyone can see it except the ou faithful.  
     

    i know the answer but why don’t you explain to me why LR left OU for USC?

    Venables could improve OU overall as team even with some regression in the offense.

    Riley's an excellent offensive coach, and he transformed OU's recruiting.
    But he'd met his ceiling at OU.

    Riley's offense this year grossly underachieved, and his OL regressed every year since 2017 (that's the year Schmidt left for A&M; we're going to learn if this is correlation or causation). The OL's inability to create running lanes made it hard to punish soft zone defenses. Riley's best defense at OU was during the Covid season, and the performance of that defense was inflated because they really didn't any really good offenses.


    Venables was a good (maybe not great) hire at OU. This is because even his WORST defenses at OU were better than any Grinch defenses at OU.
    His defensive staff is MUCH, MUCH better than Grinch and Co at ALL the spots for which we have data.

    DC: Roof (Venables) >> Grinch (obvious)
    Safeties: Hall >> Grinch (safeties were consistently OU's weakest group throughout Grinch's tenure)
    CB: Valai > Manning (Valai need only be average to be better than Manning, how was awful)
    LB: Roof (Venables) >>> Odom (Venables has been the best LB coach in the country for 20 yrs)
    DL: Bates >>> Thibs (LOL)
    DE: Chavis -- Cain (my friend who's a Clemson booster predicted Chavis leaving with Venables when Venables was hired because Chavis is supposedly awesome; Cain is good so this may be a push)

    The book on Lebby is unwritten. But Lebby won't need to be a savant if his OL is blowing people off the line. Getting Gabriel improves OU's chances to keep Mims, and makes the Sooners attractive to portal WR. I assume Mario Williams is gone too.

    That’s a lot of words.  Gutted roster and downgrade in coaching staff.   Already on a downward trajectory and limited bag / NIL game.  At lest two more losses next year is my thinking.   Not a total meltdown like the Horns last year but it is possible. 

  6. You want to make this shit real?  A little drama back in the regular season and conf champ games?   Make it a six team playoff.   P5 conf champs are in plus one g5 or independent based on ap rankings.   
     

    This would break the gridlock.   And some of the sec teams might look for a new home when they realize that they are never making it to the playoff under the status quo.

    i bleed burnt orange. My parents went to army reed medical center for my birth in a burnt orange and white ford maverick with a longhorrn on the hood.  but you cant take anything away from the sheep fuckers. that class is very very good.  

    Get used to it gang.   Until a salary cap comes into play, the professional college football universe is going to be in Texas.   Texas and 8&4 will be the two dominant programs for the next 5 - 10 years.   The other broke ass sec schools will be sucking farts.   Ou the same.
