  1. Agreed. I don't think they pulled him aside recently for a conversation about how he won't be starting and might not be the clear number 2 in 2019. Rather I think they had a conversation before the 2018 season in which they let him know Sam was definitely the guy. Herman probably told Shane how much Herm valued him and wanted him as part of this season but that they would help him RS if at all possible. Shane has known since the summer that any future as QB1 was elsewhere. He chose to stay for 2018 rather than to leave for 2019, if that makes sense.
  2. His relationship with JS doesn’t seem to be helping his public image lately. More than one tweet by JS that seem directed at FWK.
  3. If he sold two average homes, the total commission his employer took in was probably circa 15-30k. His end of that might not quite have been into 6 fig territory.
  4. Wait, so he once supervised two people all by himself? My experience and accomplishments seem so trivial by comparison.
  5. aTm in the Special Education Conference does make a certain sense.
  6. Yeah, who besides us is likely going to hand him a conference loss in 2019? And like this year, we will likely have more trouble with OU second time next year than first time. Hurts has talent, and Riley knows how to deploy offensive weapons. But I like our chances.
  7. Why would you want to go and introduce anything more than rudimentary summary of total stats as evidence?
  8. But the circumstances that led OU to seek a transfer QB were totally new after signing day, man. How could Riley have known that a starter who already was contractually obligated to leave would leave or that the backup would be upset by Riley’s flirting with QBs in the portal? Come on! Riley played Rattler, and Rattler went along like a teenage girl hearing pickup lines for the first time.
  9. I bet she brags about how smart the kids are to whom hers lost and that the boss’s kid (who won the bee at his school) would get killed in a spell-off with her genius.
  10. JS/FWK knew they were full aggy months ago. Never go full aggy.
  11. 1. You are arguing a point OU already conceded. 2. He had permission from the NCAA to transfer anywhere he wanted outside the B12. If this was about hurting OU, he could share as much information as he liked with his new coach (who may or may not be buddies with a B12 opponent and thus share it in turn) or with anyone else. He could do the same if he stayed at OU whether or not he still stayed on scholarship. The only issue was whether, irrespective of who he tells about the playbook, he would be allowed to play next year. 3. College playbooks are not really a big secret. People come and go at OU and other schools all the time, and there is plenty of film out there of what Riley runs. It’s not like he would be present for OU’s game-planning meetings next year wrt WVU. 4. If OU doesn’t change their signals from year to year, they deserve whatever happens to them, and it would not be predicated on who transferred. 5. WVU plays OU in Norman in 2019. Is Riley worried he won’t beat WVU at home? Really? Or is someone else worried about that on his behalf? The simple truth is that the initial decision to block play next year was wrong. To OU’s credit, they figured out that it was hurting them within 24 hours of their blunder. Story over.
  12. Maybe he met a Chica from Utah on vacation over Thanksgiving.
  13. OUT: LJ, Shane, Cam on the fence: Thompson IN: Jones, CJ The QB departures have the biggest impact on depth. We have guys at WR including some exciting youth at slot, but LJ was special. We actually look pretty good if Thompson de-portals.
  14. They ask that of transfers, not just part of freshman hazing?
  15. As far as we know, Thompson has taken no visits since entering the portal, correct?
  16. I’m guessing Thompson stays. With everyone on the roster who could compete with him to be QB2 his RS-FR season now transferring, I think TEXAS will still look better than Cougar High. If Rojo looks to pass him the next year, I could see him transferring then.
  17. Thanks, Shane. Good luck at SMU or wherever life takes you. This offense does not play to your strengths, but you were a solid teammate until we could develop a little depth.
  18. True. Given today’s FBS, starter+ talented but raw RS-FR and talented FR is about as good as we can reasonably expect to keep on the roster. A bit less than ideal, but nature abhors a vacuum, and there are programs out there without viable starters over the next 2 years.
  19. Hurts has not seen a game like the OU game, but he has seen Bama at LSU and Bama at Auburn. Those are above average on the ruckus scale, from what I hear.
  20. screwdrivers and screwjobs Riled up, coked up, and paid up Linc’s Big Red Trailer Park Extravaganza
  21. When I see a known ace recruiter as a DC under Saban, I think to myself, “that man surely designed and managed all aspects of that defense.”
  22. Translation: we were taking more heat than we anticipated for being walking proof of the adage that you are what you eat.
  23. 1. The rules in the handbook, so far as I know, only address eligibility to participate as part of a B12 team. It would be hard now to block a student from participating at schools outside the conference because those schools would have no compulsion to regard our rules. The NCAA itself requires non-graduate transfers to sit out a year. 2. I quoted from a B12 handbook that was not only about football. There may be another. http://www.big12sports.com/fls/10410/pdfs/handbook/ConferenceHandbook.pdf
