  1. This is exactly the issue. OU's staff haven't shown much of an ability to attract top-flight talent at some key positions, and so they're constantly scrambling and overpaying for what they have. This means they're overleveraged on talent with no margin for error.
  2. Oh I never said he was great, just that I don't think he quit on the team. I think once the other WRs started to leave/get more seriously injured, Burks became a higher retention priority than he would have been otherwise. In an ideal roster situation, you're exactly right that he's a depth piece with speed and above average hands that can be a change of pace. Given the reality of the room, he's been treated like a #1, for better or worse. No idea what he's going to look like this year.
  3. This is the only piece I might take slight exception to. He fought to get back on the field after missing seven calendar weeks and got a really nasty concussion near the end of the game he returned. He may or may not be any good this year, but prior to the injuries, he was getting open in front of two QBs that were psychically incapable of staying in the pocket to find an option later in the play.
  4. I used to travel to Miami often for work, staying right by the airport. You could do a lot worse there than the Latin Cafe 2000 right outside the airport Marriott compound.
  5. I'd certainly feel a lot better about the situation if any of the TEs had either performed to expectations or improved in any marked way over the course of his time in Norman. But other than that, great dude, no notes.....
  6. His performance and the fact that he got benched for a stretch last year tanked his value, no question. Maybe I'm an optimist, but I think his preparation and coaching situation were so incredibly poor that it's hard to imagine him not having a better season in the next two years. He's not winning a Heisman or anything, but if he can regain some confidence and get into a system that allows him to see the field without running for his life after the first read, he's going to be fine.
  7. I do think the Littrell situation fucked up Jackson Arnold something fierce. He's going to be better outside of Norman in the future.
  8. I'd argue it's a good hire AND doesn't fix the problems.
  9. I'm hoping to do a set of those once the weather warms up a bit. The big Asian market up here carries that cut.
  10. I do the same thing, but with a quick dunk in a skillet with the jus in there to take some of the pink off of the Mother-in-Law's piece.
  11. Agreed. It's bad if there's no plan for what to do next, but by itself, not awful.
  12. Watching Burks ream him out for not even looking his way as the first read was...
  13. It makes zero sense. He was always a plus recruiter and a reliable position coach at both RB and WR, but never called plays, never showed any propensity for design or theory, and couldn't keep himself from doing something dumb and getting fired. That's who you want back in the building? If he were a lights-out QB guru or a Leach-style innovator, maybe I could see talking yourself into it, but come on.
  14. I was hoping to see a couple of pairs of those sunglasses shoved into someone's mouth. Shoulda left em in your Yukons, boys. I guess they're more stable on those hats than I thought.
  15. Farooq possibly, Anthony unlikely, and nobody is saying anything about Burks yet.
