He had a heat stroke and they had to take him via ambulance to the hospital. Of course, they’re all saying he’s now perfectly fine. To be clear, I don’t think Wingo even passed out and the dude spent two nights under observation in the hospital and missed a week of practice. Things are handled differently up in Norman though. 

I remember when heat stroke basically ended Patrick Hudson’s career. And Jesus, just look at @immamac

If Imma has any eligibility left, he could probably be 2nd team OL at OU

I'm loving the positivity about our team this year and the negativity about OU and Aggy, but man... I've been fooled so many times before.

I wanna believe, but I'm Missouri now.

Did you got in to a coma last year?

Just write out the depth chart of our defense.  Bonerjamz ‘05.

Imagine Arch playing with a better defense than last year. 

Just, mull it around in your noggin.

While in the process, back of your mind, think of passes from Reed and know that Venables still coaches OUsux.

Then think about a better defense than we had last year, AGAIN, with Arch slinging long passes. 

If you don't get enchubbened, seek medical help.

They’re gonna kill this dude. “No big deal. Big guy almost drowned in the cold tub and ambulances were called, but he should be back out there tomorrow.” Where did Durkin end up, again?

Only caveat about defense I can think of is we played a lot of shitty QBs last year.  We should play better ones this year, overall.  

Eh. Lagway is an injury risk, but yes. Gunnar Stockton versus douche rocket? 50/50. Miss St, Marcel Reed, Paiva. I see lagway and the kid from the second half of Kentucky and the rest feels like a push.

Mostly meant OU and Florida will have much better QBs this year.  

Yeah, I left off Mateer. His line and WRs might make his improvement over the last guy irrelevant, and I think he’s way overrated versus competition. But we’ll see.
 

i just don’t think the national media understands how many of this years “starters” played seriously massive snaps last year.

Durkin is now at Auburn for a second season and has yet to kill anyone. I agree that these idiots are being flippant about this with Fasusi. Surely the medical staff isn’t that stupid. 

Separately, Fasusi being a starter isn’t like Banks being a starter. This dude needs time. Them rushing him to the starting lineup because the other guys suck worse is quite the thing for their idiot gurus to tout.

Yep.  I was in the south end suite area for Kentucky game.  He was there.  He isn’t near big enough.  He needs time to cook.

I appreciate this thread.  In years past I did not have the same insight into what their 995ers and "insiders" were saying about the team leading up to the season.  My question is (and I probably already know the answer): are they always this exuberant?  How does their exuberance this year compare with preseason 2022-2024, when they ranged from scrappy but uneven to hammered dogshit on the field?

They’ve had long stretches of not losing very much over the past 75 years. But I think the stoops era of winning the conference damn near every year is what has the fans that are likely to be on internet fora posting their learned opinions believing on themselves. They just can’t conceive of being average or worse. They had 20 years of saying they will be great, with bob stoops making soothsayers out of them. Then Riley won and got to the cfp. They haven’t adjusted to their new reality in both coaching and player acquisition.

Ikard is like this every GD year. I think the guy legitimately might have CTE.

It’s always maximum exuberance because the thought of being a Football University fan with a crappy football team is just too depressing to contemplate 

Been there

I’ve told the story before, but I enjoy it so I’ll do it again here. 

OU punched down in 2022 on their first 3 opponents and looked like worldbeaters. The 3rd game was a routing of a hapless Scott Frost-led Nebraska team of failure. 

College Sports Sunday on XM 84 is hosted by Barrett Sallee and Tom Luginbill, then through now, and they were talking about all of the games from the day before. They were lauding how dominant OU looked and then pondering what their flaws might be. Then they have Chris Plank come on. Plank does work on shows for XM and he’s also either the color guy or sideline guy for OU radio broadcasts. While he went to Tulsa, he’s an absolute OU homer.

He’s just on there gushing with those guys and then they ask him: “what is a worrisome flaw with this OU team?”

Plank pauses dramatically and then says, “Gosh, you know guys, I don’t think there are any. “

That OU team finished with a losing record. 

These rubes do this every year and to Pato’s point, they’ve been rewarded for it for so long that they still can’t see the bullshit over the past few years and what’s currently going on in their regime. 

Guys on their sites are like “Teddy and Gabe are never gushing like this. They were giving out warnings last August.”

No, they were not. Lehman and Ikard are in the tank and are the least objective commentators you could find for OU.

Good summary of their current trap they’ve constructed for themselves.

If he would have taken his salt tablets and then eaten his own vomit, he would have been just fine.

Junior Miller: jar your own urine for emergencies, especially if you’re an OU football player
