Venables is such an idiot.

He literally just tanked a shot at the playoffs for a slightly higher chance of not losing to Texas in Dallas. There is zero chance I would be playing Matter until he is actually ready to go. They could have endured another loss and still been ok if it meant getting right and winning out. 

In hindsight, they really did. They knew what they had on the OL and presumably knew where Mateer was in terms of recovery. I didn't watch them before the RRS so I don't know what, if anything, he was lacking. He made some really impressive short to intermediate throws but seemed to be a non factor in the vertical game. I don't know if that's typical or if the thumb was impacting his ability to throw downfield. He also seemeed to just be overwhelmed by the moment and the pressure Texas was putting him under. Seemed to me that to the extent Mateer got them in trouble it was his mental game, not his thumb.

They had to know, like a lot of people expected, that it was going to be tough sledding on offense if they couldn't run the ball even wih Mateer. Their defense (and/or the Texas offense) was always going to have to win the game for them. Knowing that, if Mateer is limited, I don't see why you start him. You go out and lose a competitive game against Texas with Hawkins and it gets basically written off in playoff converssations (and in your fanbase, and re: Mateer's heisman campaign). You go out and win because you don't throw like eight interceptable balls, all the better. Instead you rush Mateer back, let this savior narrative take hold, and watch it flop in a game you were never going to win if your defense got worked like that. 

Now the book is fully written on how to beat Oklahoma and they're staring down a brutal schedule with a crisis of confidence in leadership. What a self own.

These instant reaction recap videos with their entire bodies in the shot are so damn awkward. Really drives home why studio hosts sit at a desk, and often give themselves something to do with their hands.

I have gorged myself on Sooner podcasts this week. They're all awesome. 

I find myself while loathing everything about the Sooners, I have a certain respect for them I do not have for the Aggies. Or their various social media guys.

Here was my favorite. It's 2 1/2 hours long, and ain't nobody got time for that. I think I made it about an hour in before getting satiated on OU tears. But the whole rant at the beginning about this being a culture loss, that this was OU's best chance to beat Texas for a long time to come, was incredibly satisfying.

Going 3-3 over their next 6 games is probably the best they can hope for.  It could get uglier than that if they implode.

So let it be written, so let it be done.10-yulfukkingsexy.jpg.753160faf42372e9fc64f3c01a7d9b64.jpg

They legitimately could go 0-6 to 2-4 over their next six:

  • @USCe
  • Ole Miss
  • @Tennessee
  • @Bama
  • Missouri
  • LSU

I don't see them winning any road games. South Carolina is the most likely; but is Mateer playing that game? Otherwise, Ole Miss and Missouri should beat them. I guess that defense + Mateer back might play LSU well enough at home, but there's no way I see more than two remaining Ws on that schedule. Does 7-5 do enough to retain Venables? Do they even have enough money to buy him out?

Buyout breakdown (AI summary, so who knows): 
  • December 1, 2025: $36,294,182
  • 2026: $34.9 million
  • 2027: $26.2 million
  • 2028: $17.4 million
  • 2029: $8.5 million
  • January 31, 2030: The contract expires, and the buyout becomes $0

Unfortunately we know it well. That was our Strong and Herman years. Venables is their Strong. He's in over his head.
