  1. I’ve added to my guilty pleasure of reading Sooner sites. I also listened to a couple of podcasts. This is what they claim, and I’m curious as to other opinions of their accuracy. 
    1. They are frustrated with the modern state of the game. “It’s out of control. Something must be done”. 
    2. NIL seems to be a problem for them. They say that OU can get the money, but Brent wants to build a program on “relationships”, rather than “transactions”. 
    3. They say OU can get the money; it struggles in organizing the collectives and making the “ask”. 
    4. They want the NCAA to step in and regulate this. They think NIL really should just be compensation for promotions, and not pay for play. They also allow that there are probably a couple of key players on each team that deserve significant high six figure pay (you figure that one out).
    5. They are bringing guys like Curtis Loftin and Mark Clayton in to work personnel staff “GM” and recruiting coordinator positions. 
     
    My thoughts:
    Are you kidding me? The NCAA? Do they really think that’s still a thing? Hell, they started the dumping of the NCAA in football, with UGA, in the ‘80s. 
     
    Then, I figured it out. They may never have been real supporters of the NCAA, but it filled a real function for them, for decades. The NCAA had rules, and their key rivals, UT and NU, followed them. This was a huge part of their success. If Texas had bid for players against Switzer, he would never have won a single MNC. But Texas didn’t, and OU could pay a key recruit $150k to sign, no $30k per year, and Boomer Sooner. 
     
    Now, Texas’ boosters are funding NIL, and OU is struggling to keep up. They want the NCAA to step in, and regulate Texas, so they can get back to the good old ways. 

    So I’m reading “FUCK 0u”

  2. So let see if I have this correct. 
    1. Saban signs Julian Sayin. Number 2 QB in the class of 2024.
    2. Saban retires.
    3. Alabama hires  Kalen DeBoer from UW.
    4. DeBoer brings his OFC.QB coach Ryan Grubb with him.
    5. They decide Sayin isn't their type of QB and essentially run him off to Ohio State in about two weeks.
    6. Grubb decides to go back to Seattle and become the Seahawks' OFC.
    7. Alabama doesn't have a five star QB they did a month ago, doesn't have an OFC, doesn't have a QB coach.
    8. Good job on the transition Kalen. 

    Are they going to try and run his offense with Milroe ??

  3. Is anyone else super concerned about the locker room culture of our walk-ons?  This Reed Malphurs - Tannahil Love situation has the potential to turn into a deadly ass-cancer.  How long before the Aggies use this against us to recruit our walkons from under us?

    Also starting to get concerned about the walk-on numbers
  4. I’m a member of the Florida gator Reddit page. They’re all unanimous in saying this guy is very slow, wildly overrated and not much of a loss at all. Is that mostly sour grapes or is there a consensus out there that he’s overhyped? 

    They sound very soonerish. I bet they were saying very different things about him when he was committed to Florida.
