  1. Best case scenario for OU is to keep it close or pull out a miracle with Hawkins, then try to get a second shot in the SEC championship or in the playoff if they can make it through. I think the goodwill is high enough with Venables right now that he doesn't need the excuse directly to save his job. That could obviously change based on the rest of the year.
  2. Either a separated shoulder or collarbone, I can't remember which.
  3. I have no way of knowing if the pre-game conversation happened that way, but if so, then this is pretty clearly the conference putting the blame on the crew in a poorly managed game. Semi-related, the side judge that made the no-catch call on Sategna that got overturned was chopping it up with the cheerleaders while they were reviewing his decision. Bold play to try to get laid while being evaluated on national TV and in front of that many people who hate you for five minutes.
  4. In person it was tough to tell, and the in-stadium replays weren't handled well. The first one (potential fumble and return for TD) appeared that the ball was being held against the receiver by the DB, not the WR. There's an angle that shows the glove colors pretty well and the receiver's hand and arm is fully above and outside the DB's hand. Second one was a pretty clear catch, two steps, punched out a step or two out of bounds.
  5. It was a 2 for 1, same as they did for Tulane. Maybe he just likes visiting larger cities with "T" schools?
  6. I think it's both this coaching staff's defining win, and something people are overreacting to compared to what it means for the season as a whole. They found a way to win against a talented (unprepared) team even though there were a ton of mistakes. There were something like 75 recruits in attendance, so this was very much a push all in situation that could have cratered their ability to even compete for the next couple of years. Also true is that the run game was uninspiring, zero turnovers caused, and there were receivers free that better offenses would have found.
  7. He's always been someone very keyed into the shifts and calls from the opposing offenses. The debate is whether he's getting that information from in-game and game tape study, or if there's some other extraordinary method ala a Connor Stallions.
  8. I have a cousin that worked with Fay Jones for a while and we got to tour the studio and see the initial drawings for the chapel. It made a huge impression and when my dad got remarried, he did it at Thorncrown.
  9. Also the mushroom powder, I believe. Same effect.
  10. I've seen some fans out there speculating about what it would take to get some of the PIF money from the Saudis. Maybe we let one of their failsons run the show?
  11. You're right though, this is all as meaningful as any other public press announcement.
  12. Technically they do address this: "said if the coaches aren’t fully on board, the player will not be recruited because his staff will not force any players onto the coaching staff who they don’t buy into fully." Whether that's going to be successful in practice...who knows? It certainly isn't successful everywhere in the NFL, and you only have to look for the Cowboys notes in this thread to see how it could go poorly.
  13. Phantom Island just did an episode about this, but coming from the angle of asking if the days of the workaholic coach are falling into the past. With the context we have, it does seem relatively easier to find people who are good at eval, people who are good at gameplan/scheme, people who are good at talent acquisition, and people who are good at talent maximization versus finding 11-15 unicorns who are great at all areas. I'd still pay good money to hear the unvarnished truth about what happend with Thad Turnipseed and the AD's office. It can't have been as simple as "he wanted to build a new basketball arena and they refocused fundraising on NIL."
  14. — Nagy noted that Jaydn Ott is continuing to put on more and more weight, and currently weighs more than he ever has... but he's also faster than he's ever been as well, and the sports science department has helped Ott immensely in packing on that weight while maintaining the burst "And, and he's four inches taller, and his uncle works for Nintendo and he can play the new Mario whenever he wants"
  15. I really need to know what this means: "Just a team that the junk yard has in their peanut right now."
