    Official HC Speculation Thread

    I bet he gets another shot in the NFL after this season or next. NFL has a long history of that. Spav will get another shot in college somewhere as well IMO.

    Official HC Speculation Thread

    I don’t know why anyone would leave the NFL to go back to college. You are dealing with Pro problems without pro contracts at this point.

    Devastated to hear this. Rest in peace, Coach.

    Was it the Scheme or Less Talent-The 3-3-5 vs 4-2

    The irony is that an odd stack is a slight adjustment from an old 50 front 3-4 which the NFL has used as the primary run stop front for many years. Still only 3 D-lineman. The key is a war daddy at nose that can eat up both gaps while holding point and not allowing the lineman to climb to...

    Local Talent

    Oklahoma typically produces between 25-40 D1 football players year in and year out. Yes you have to recruit DFW, as well as Arkansas, parts of Kansas and Louisiana. Not to mention the JUCOs in the southeast and Cali to spot-fill holes. Texas is important, but you are also dealing with every...

    IMO they were undone by one thing. They were cute. All they had to do was line up and play power football and run it 60 times. Owasso couldn’t and didn’t stop it once as evidenced by the second overtime on when they decided to play out of the power I. But those double reverse passes for...

    Friday Night

    That was Rice. I remember that game from the field. It was sleeting and cold and you could hear the crows bouncing from bleacher to bleacher in that empty stadium. SMU was Burns last game as a coach here. We were at SMU and the drive home was the only happy ride home I’ve ever experienced...

    🏈 News/Notes Oklahoma transfer Jon-Michael Terry headed to TU

    I totally agree. He would be a dynamite DE which was the point of me talking about his length even though his height might not be ideal. I think he’s gonna be lights out regardless the spot he plays. And the best compliment I can pay a kid is to simply say he’s a football player and he will...

    🏈 News/Notes Oklahoma transfer Jon-Michael Terry headed to TU

    I think St John is a fair comparison but IMO athletically they aren’t in the same universe. Little O is a freak. He’s already built like a man. He’s a no brainer IMO

    🏈 News/Notes Oklahoma transfer Jon-Michael Terry headed to TU

    IMO height is an overvalued metric. For DEs coaches talk a lot about “length” which can be different than height. Owen has the wingspan of a kid who is 6’6. He’s a gorilla. You want length at the DE and OT spot because it’s about who can get hands on the other guy without allowing your...

    Yes, tremendous man. No, not working for TU.

    2020 football season

    I understand them putting out an announcement that they will open on schedule but if we actually believe now that they have released this statement they are locked into opening regardless of what happens over the next 2 months I feel like that is a massive oversimplification of things. It is...

    Owen Ostroski

    I disagree. Free tuition is a great benefit, but what about room, board, books, etc? He has to pay for that so we don’t waste a scholarship on him? Being offered a full ride means you are wanted and worthy of the offer. Not being offered that communicates something else IMO. If he’s good...
