    Will Mike Stoops become any wiser?

    No, Blake didn't have an impact on OU's 2000, NC. Bob and his coaches turned the whole program and won with the kids he inherited. While Blake had brought some really good talent, there was no way that Blake would have had a winning record in Bob's first year in 1999. The kids Bob started...

    Which is OU's biggest addition: Hurts or Grinch ?

    Grinch. Hopefully, Grinch will have a huge impact upon the Sooners defense for many years to come. Hurts is a one year deal. He is a great contributor for one year.

    Which is the bigger 2019 addition: Jalen Hurts or Alex Grinch?

    We will have three other QBs that will be available come August Fall practice. Mordecai, Shaffer and Rattler. With all the other great offensive skill players we wouldn't be without QBs. On the other hand having a defense will take lots of pressure off of the OU offense. It looks to me like...

    What is your opinion of the Beckham trade to the Browns?

    Haven't watched the NFL in years. Left the Cowboys when Jones was hired. Last year, I didn't watch any Browns games, but did watch their team "in house" shows. I may watch a few games and will watch the Browns shows on the Browns team site on Netflix. Assuming Beckman gets his head screwed...

    Medic and others I think the worse thing that ever happened to this board was allowing political

    This one of the best ever threads on this board. Many years I argued against allowing politics/religion on any sports board on the grounds that it would destroy it. Once the politics got a strong hold I joined in and have posted my share of politics. I'm on the side of the 90% here. I have...

    Boren is being investigated for sexual misconduct with males.

    David Boren being gay is the worst "secret" in the history of mankind. I knew his room mate at OU ... so if there is anyone out there that just now discovered his sexual preference then you are decades behind the times. :) I'm not going to pile on Boren as I thought [for the most part] he did...

    AOcL's Green New Deal pipedream

    Amazing. You suggesting others are uninformed just after you suggested that Trump created the illegal immigration emergency. That is flat out a lie and a big LIE!!! Trump is doing his best to force a solution to this problem. For you to suggest that Trump who has been just a couple of months...

    AOcL's Green New Deal pipedream

    What do you all expect from some 28 year old who has spent her whole in the Bronx and Queens in NYC What do you expect from some 28 year old whose work prior to becoming a Member of the US House of Representatives has been as a community organizer along with being a waitress and bartender. She...

    Signing Day

    DE Ugwoegbu committed a couple of weeks ago. My guess is that OL Danielson Ike OL from Kansas is also a Sooner. If there is room at the inn my guess is that JUCO WR Brandon Pierce will also sign. While we have heard this many times before he will enroll in January of 2020. He is a clone of...

    OT: Ralph Northam thoughts

    No doubt we need to fix the immigration law. However, that just gets us to the point where we have a legal path for immigrants to come to America and become legal citizens. In the fix, we need language that provides for those who want to immigrate to the US come from a broad spectrum of the...

    OT: Ralph Northam thoughts

    Just as a follow up to the above I think that if Trump can reach a good trade agreement with China that the US economy will continue to expand and grow. I don't like the manner Trump uses. However, when it comes to policy I think he is exceptional. He is fearless. He tackles the really...

    OT: Ralph Northam thoughts

    There are differences between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans tend to have varying thoughts on most issues. You don't find most Republicans playing follow the leader You listen to Republicans and you hear different opinions and ideas. On the other hand Democrats just play follow the...

    OU vs. Texas Recruiting Team Rankings

    I don't really care about the rankings. However, OU has the higher player ranking average, but is behind Texas on total points. There has to be some nuisance that I don't understand. It has to be that somehow OU's four 5* kids gets OU's average player rank higher, but the other players...
