Our daughter's name is not one of these, but she gets called "Olivia" about 100 times a month because of this phenomenon.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
This sort of happened with Tristan Leigh a year or two ago. He signed with Clemson and dragged OU and a few others through the next month or two, potentially exposing them to a violation. Consensus at the time was that if it's the player misleading, the institutions aren't responsible.

It ends here. I can promise you that. All of my cousins are guys, so any of our forbidden love doesn't produce offspring.

When the mother-in-law and brother-in-law come over, it's 80/20 against. Weird genetics over there.

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
I know I'm going to have a quiet chuckle when they lose a game they shouldn't, but I think just about every fan feels that way about other teams.

Odom is inside, Manning is outside.

It's worth mentioning that Manning won't be coaching DBs at USC under the same Coordinator and Head Coach. Even they know he was not right for that job, which begs the question of why they let him do it for so long in Norman.

I don't understand this hire, either. He's a glorified bag man who hasn't done well in an on-field role anywhere. He's Bryan Carrington. He's Chip Vines. OU already HAS a Chip Vines...

They're putting this out publicly as a development opportunity versus a money one. I have zero inside information, but if it leaks that he's getting a ton of money from somewhere without a credible QB coach/OC, that's going to ruffle feathers as you said.

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
I think that's the question. Is there a need to do it the same way? It worked for Clemson because Dabo pushed his faith so much. Now with NIL, is the methodology equal, or behind the times.

What's his age versus Joe C.? Would he be seeing this as a successorship if Joe is ready to go in a few years?

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
Indispensable part. They needed someone with a vision for how to compete in the new climate, and a history of getting that off the ground in two of the biggest success story programs of the last 20 years.

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
Valai is a "recruiting coordinator" who demanded to be put in an on-field role. It went as well as you might expect. Every move Venables is making seems like it's targeted at recruiting and building a donor network to support players/recruiting. No idea if that's going to work long-term, or if the existing OU fan infrastructure can support that commitment. Side note: we already have Chip Viney, why do we want Valai??

I heard the opposite story, that Venables pitched him as a 3-tech and A&M told him he could play the edge. Who knows what's real, though.

Apparently Kanak is in the OU student portal and will be an early enrollee. Per Eddie Rado and Bob P.

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
Kanak has been showing up in some of the nightly Sooner Twitter spaces on his own, so we know there's at least interest there from his end. Venables is working hard to not come across the way Lincoln has, and some OU fans aren't happy. They see anyone who decommits or puts their name into the portal from Clemson as free game, and it's hard to argue that. Don't pursue active commits, don't pursue rostered players, sure, but if a player initiates contact or expresses interest, there's got to be some kind of response. We don't know what's going on behind those conversations, though. No player in any of those situations has commented about Venables, as far as I know, so it's pure speculation.

Succession -- HBO
I think the timing of his Greg conversation is meant to imply that he is throwing in against Logan, but the misdirect is that he was selling out his own wife. That's the Evil he's talking about. Being able to say "what's wrong?" to his wife with a straight face at the end means that Tom has finally learned the lesson and given himself over to the worst impulses. He even said it to Kendall weeks ago. "I've never seen Logan get fucked...not once." No chance he's going up against that to support a wife who won't even pretend to love him anymore.

He wants him there as someone he trusts and is naturally "below" him in the pecking order. It's the most honest relationship in the entire show. It's the Nero story referenced before.

The thing that's encouraging to me about Venables is that he's bringing some infrastructure guys with him.

OU Recruiting 2022: Abnormal Mutations in OUDNA
I do wonder how much of it was expressed "strategy" and how much was a reaction to a push against competition. Publicly, Riley always said he wouldn't ever take just a body, he wanted only guys who he could project as Heisman, Round 1 guys. Realistically, he brought in Chandler Morris and Tanner Mordecai, both of whom were good, but not world-beaters. The other vision is Ohio State, who just brings in what they can and lets go whoever gets beaten out. This is probably closer to what the new normal will be.

I can only speak to the OU side of things, but one prominent OU site had a fucking no-shame white nationalist show up and show off last night. I'd take a million Reddit CFB posters over that shit.
