  1. If he doesn't know who Cutcliffe is, do you think gets this reference? @Theo Aquacates Sam Ehlinger said this to Kyler Murray after UT beat OU in the 2018 RRR. It was Murray's first loss in forever. OU returned the favor in the conference championship game.
  2. Your name in Arabic translates to "Weak American." The ice cream still sucks.
  3. It's like $9 a pint here. For the hassle, minimal value add, kinda like most portal adds.
  4. Solid contribution to the flavor of the offseason. Offense was gonna improve this year because of personnel alone, especially once they got the C from UVa. McCarthy could be a better Caleb Williams.
  5. Agree with your take on Grinch. I'm surprised Riley took him to LA. Seems like a lazy/nepotistic move. It's baffling that Grinch is mentioned as a head coach candidate. Has anyone heard his press conferences? This has been discussed a lot here, and it's history as far as OU-UT are concerned, so briefly, Riley was able to punish teams who dropped numbers into coverage with his running game when he had a better OL. OU would pave teams that rolled with smaller personnel until 2018 on (OU averaged 6.6 yds/attempt that year). The decline in OL quality roughly correlated with OU changing S&C coaches. The last two years the OL looked plain fat. Improved OL play simply because they aren't gassed in the 2nd quarter is big opportunity for improvement.
  6. OU had a DB medically retire yesterday (got his degree and will become a GA). https://247sports.com/player/jeremiah-criddell-46038115/ With Criddell's retirement, OU still has 18 DB on the roster out of a total of 45 defensive players. So there's going to be some guys who are processed this spring. Anticipate attrition from the DB (3-4) and DE (2-3). OU was definitely DT-shopping so I wouldn't be surprised to see 1-2 depart from here too. LB is probably good. I know that you're all very concerned about the numbers and also don't want to jump to conclusions about Venables/Valai/Schmidt losing players so I thought I'd provide some context a priori.
  7. OU's WR recruiting and development have been wildly inconsistent. Dennis Simmons basically only recruited in odd-numbered years. If you look at guys Simmons "developed," it's Lamb, Brown, Mims (who did less last year), and Westbrook (who he didn't recruit, but who did get better while at OU). That's 4, but the denominator is 19. And many of the highly touted WR under-performed. Rambo, Mykel Jones, 3 2019 guys are all 4+ stars who wouldn't get drafted based on OU production. I, for one, was wondering if Simmons deserved to keep his job. Add to that the narrative that veer-and-shoot WR don't know how to run routes and Sark's association with incredible WR at Bama, UT should be able to argue against OU for WRs.
  8. Godfrey made this point also. IIRC the ranking was: - not Mississippi - winning program (if you're winning, you'll be able to continue to climb the ladder) - city RE: Miami and UF, apparently the stink Kiffin made when he was at FIU/FAU? was enough that neither the Canes nor Gators wouldn't take him.
  9. I think this is an outcomes-based metric, and I think the Auburn adm is working overtime to ensure that the outcome will be "no buyout for you."
  10. Wrong thread This the 2022 thread. The 2022 staff was the worst in the country. The 2023 staff is THE best.
  11. They were early adopters (Cam Newton). Similar to OU fans, I imagine Auburn fans will eventually push every last nickel to the FB players.
  12. Apparently, Kiffin wants out of Ole Miss and is willing to take any reasonably comparable job. He through his name at every coaching vacancy this year and got no bites because of his own history of indiscretions. Source for this is Steven Godfrey CFB reporter on his podcast. Auburn is also compromised because of it's recent history of difficulties with coaches. They fired relatively successful Malzahn, had a difficult time finding a replacement (Harsin), and are now ditching the replacement in one year. The War Tigers still play in the SEC-W so getting to 9 wins will always be hard. But Auburn's ability to recruit is on a level higher than Mississippi's, and the fan base has proven they'll shell out big dollars for football players. I tongue-in-cheek asked about the move because I'd previously said Dart would be playing for a third coach in 2023, but the points above make it at least plausible.
  13. And if Bigsby stays in bounds, nobody cares. 🤷🏽‍♂️
  14. Petrino, Hugh Freeze, Mike Price...off the top of my head. If this is the reason he gets canned, seems like a perfect culture fit. If this happens, does Jaxon Dart follow Kiffin to Auburn?
  15. STILL not me. Anyway, where did you guy see me say I loved OU's class or hated UT's? Both were relatively fortunate this year under the circumstances. OU's deficiency is at WR (and OL, but they made up for OL a bit in the portal), and UT's...I rarely comment on your players.
