Wow, the pretzel bending on this thread has gotten interesting. Venables as the top defensive mind in the game?

I guarantee if you polled coaches BV would be top 3.  Doesn’t mean he’s a good HC - he’s not.  But defensively he’s a top coach.  OU was horrendous til he came and Clemson was top 3 until he left.

Brent Venables is 1-3 against Texas. Pretty sure he's the first Oklahoma coach to be 2 games below .500 against Texas since John Blake in 1998.

Gary Gibbs 2.0 (Gibbs was 0-4 his first 4 against Texas)

I made a comment on the game thread about Arbuckle and the sudden media love he was getting and he’d be shown on camera as much as CBS shows Taylor Swift when the Chiefs are on CBS.  Funny they started the game during OU’s first drive which resulted in a FG showing Arbuckle several times with Herbie slobbering all over him.   But once their offense started going southward and Mateer collapsed under pressure, I don’t think I saw one more camera take of Arbuckle for the rest of the game.   

I am sure Arbuckle is a very bright guy and he might be onto some things in his offensive mindset, but the level OU is playing at is a very, very long way from Seminole High School or half the schedule Wazzu played with him as OC.  

Time to see if they keep up with the hero ball and YOLO throws from Mateer or if we see any adjustments.

Great dude.  Met him at event Barry Sternlicht invited me to 2015ish.  Pete was involved w W hotels.  Berry was CEO or largest shareholder at the W.  Said OU Fans chanted ‘graduate, graduate’ after his 4th win.  Hell of a story, embellished or not.

He was the QB at my 1st Red River game in ‘90 (the one where he threw a go ahead TD to Kerry Cash and then RD Lasher hooked the possible game winning FG). Loved him in those games, not so much the others.

Years later a lawyer buddy in Westlake was all excited because they’d recruited Gardere to play on some rec league basketball team. Dude showed up with a giant boiler pot belly and was unimpressive ha.
