Just now, Constant said:
Between recruiting and how the season unfolded, Lebby is not a $2 million dollar OC. He has a lot of work to do.
Agreed. You can't put a QB on the field who can't complete a pass and call yourself successful.

He's built a good reputation on the defensive side of the ball, and is hoping Lebby and Bedenbaugh will attract quality on the offensive side. So far, it's worked halfway, but this class is nearly as defense-heavy as Riley's classes were offense-heavy.
Aside from Arnold, Green, Pettaway, and maybe J. Johnson, they're not getting the absolute top-flight dudes on offense. They need help with RB and WR recruiting in a big way, and Bedenbaugh has some reputation to rebuild.

Plus, a new staff is having to establish new relationships in many cases.

Stogner officially back at OU. I truly believe the number of people who have a handle on this new environment might be countable on one hand.

Now that the tattoo has been posted, who would like the over/under at 502 total yards for Owens during his A&M career?

It’s a response to a question on how the portal guys will effect the team’s ability to prepare for the bowl game. He’s plainly saying no one that is currently in the portal is going to have much an impact on how the team looks at the bowl game. It’s not as scathing as it seems.
It being specifically about bowl prep is slightly different. I know that saying they "did not contribute" in a meaningful way is true, but why say it? Is he reassuring the fan base about how entertaining the fucking Cheez-It bowl will be? It comes across as defensive and combative when it's an easy thing to answer. You wish the guys well who are prepping for the draft, and you say there are people looking for opportunities elsewhere that are still "your guys" who you will root for unless they line up across the field in the future. You're excited for the team to get to bowl prep and get ahead for next year.
It's not Jimbo-level bad, but it's weird.

Agreed. He's not Deion coming into a brand new situation and putting everyone on notice like Baldwin doing a favor for Mitch and Murray. These are ostensibly his guys that the staff spent almost a year trying to coach and mentor. We all know that some level of processing happens, but who does this comment help? Is it directed towards fans? Players still on the team? Potential transfers in?
-
Riley also snapped at a reporter in the postgame for asking whether the players on D are "coached to try to go for the turnover vs. prioritizing tackling" after some of the long runs.
Never let that skin thicken, coach.

Also want to shout out the cheesecake, which is well worth bringing to a holiday situation. It serves 12 or so and is really good for the price.

Well it sure isn't going to be Mickey Joseph...holy hell.

I’m not sure whats truth or rumor but he blames OU for his lackluster pro career.
From what I recall, at least one of the coaches sandbagged him with scouts around draft time. Shots about his commitment and effort. Even if some of those coaches aren't around, I'd imagine that sours the ol' memories. Also, I think one of them might actually be back, which would almost certainly be a dealbreaker.

Nothing more. He made a mistake and was rightly fired for it. And, also rightly, the whole alumni came to his defense.
The hilarious part is that I see people claiming that having Gundy around would have equated to at least 3-4 fewer losses. While I think he was generally a plus recruiter and a good guy to have on staff, what exactly do they think a WR coach does?!?

Looking like Samples, and M. Kelly are top picks for WR coach. I’d definitely pregame Samples there. His instant recruiting impact would be huge.
Roof is gone, but I haven’t heard any names on a replacement.
I don't want to be the "source?" guy, because I'm woefully without sources myself. However...this is huge news. Where are we hearing this?

Oberweis (St. Louis) is around the same per gallon. I love it, but I'm the only one in the house who drinks it.

If you have to go hot and fast, keep a cup of water to add if it starts to go too dark.

I thought he flipped on signing day and it caught ou off guard?
There was some sort of last minute contact that ended up being the turning point. I don't remember if it got reported a day or two before signing, or just super early the day of. They certainly thought he was in pocket the entire time, though, and it was a real kick in the pants.

Vasek was always going to be an incredible challenge to hold onto. He had every reason under the sun to want to go to UT. I was always shocked he even committed in the first place. Must have been some short lived teenaged rebellion.
Can't go out and get pumped Five-Goose and expect people to be excited to jump aboard.

Would absolutely love for the attendance to crater this cycle. I'm sure tickets are bought and non-refundable, which is why they're comfortable springing this nonsense last-minute.

Reasonable, sure. I guess after NSD folks can talk more about how Texas fucked it up early, but without saying a ton else, it's almost like Texas tried to fuck up the recruitment.
Ill defer to your knowledge there.

It's amazing how poorly Texas handled the beginning of this recruitment. If they land him, I'll laugh, but wow. OU will have truly blown it.
Also, and totally unrelated to Vacek's recruitment, but if you guys are interested after this season, Texas has a fucking amazing recruiter and LB coach that you guys should go after. His name is Jeff Choate. Please don't pass his name and recommendation off to Venables.
I don't know if I agree completely. Texas may have whiffed a bit early, but there's not much you can do if a guy wants to see the rest of the country. Similarly, I don't know that I'd mark OU as blowing it if he ends up at Texas. It was always going to be a hill to climb to pull a high-priority guy from directly in town who is also getting the hard sell from a famous family all while your own family has season tickets. Couple that with the huge win in Dallas and the overall good momentum from UT, and it's easy to see how he could slide in that direction.
If OU can't get him back on campus in the next few weeks to at least re-pitch him, then I would definitely consider THAT a huge failure.
-
Oh for sure. You've got to love your position with a guy who won't even confirm he's committed still.

The trick I used when dealing with those folks was to have a shallow pan of the jus at just below a simmer. If you dunk a slice in there just before serving, it knocks the "pink" off of it and fools them into thinking it's whatever temp they wanted. Or you could continue with your plan and I salute that experience as well.
