Starting to have an itch that Littrell might not be ‘the guy’.

Ya reckon? He just sits there all game with that same bland, dumb look on his face. It makes me want to go up to the press box and yell something at him like "Hey Seth! If I want to screw a sheep does baaaaa mean yes or no?"

Welp, it’s either the talent or the coaching. Right? I’m like Forrest Gump…maybe it’s both? Both are happening at the same time.

Now, who is complicit in us finding ourselves here? I could say the BMDs and other revenue streams failed (especially with the kid that bolted to Mizzou). I could say Joe C and the regents failed for not demanding and paying for a proven offensive mastermind. At the end of the day, it’s BV’s boat…and he’s gonna sink or get better rowers. I have no doubt he has the testicular fortitude to get things done. Does he have the self-preservation skills and the wisdom to know when it’s nut cutting time? Roof got the boot, and they were pretty tight.

Meh, just another football season. My rabid fandom is gone. Trolling for lulz not fun anymore. No more skin in the game per se. Just glad I’m on the right side of the dirt for now.

Well like I said earlier, we don’t judge around here. And it’s a good thing.
 
I've never see anything like this though. On top of the O line injuries literally our top 5 wr are out.

Nik Anderson
Deion Burkes
Jalill Farooq
Jayden Gibson
Andrel Anthony

That's a ton of firepower! Jaques Pettaway is nursing a hamstring.

My theory is these guys are strong but not limber. In the military we lifted a lot of weight (try carrying a 90 lbs. pack in the heat and humidity plus your body armor and weapons) but the lion's share of our training was pull ups, sit ups, rope climbing, climbing walls, scooting under barbed wire and running through obstacle courses. We were strong as hell but we could MOVE in any direction and the injuries were few and far between. Did we get hit? Yes, without pads too. Running was an every day grind in boot camp and then later in action. It's the difference between gym-strong and farm boy-strong. Maybe these guys are not getting range of motion strength like they should which makes them susceptible to more injuries in joints and soft tissue.

Oklahoma is first in the nation in turnovers forced with 12. Auburn is first in the nation in turnovers given up with 14. Should be fun.

OU also leads the nation in the qb turning over the ball on the next play after a great defensive takeaway.

I got news for you, with nil everyone is constantly rebuilding in one way or another. They will be signing another qb but Hawkins is a true freshman whose dad played for Stoops. Obviously the hope is he can get it done.

Oh also, Hawkins was offered by Bama and Georgia both.

what does him being offered by Bama and Georgia have to do with anything?

What happens if he struggles and gets replaced.. by Casey or Arnold again.. You think he sticks around for sure another season?

Don't hide behind NIL on why your offense is bad.. ou MADE the eval and put it's NIL eggs into the Arnold nest.. NIL wasn't the reason BB fell asleep behind the wheel recruiting OL in the past classes for him to rely on G5 guys through the portal to field a solid line.

Good programs don't rebuild through the portal, they supplement.

Lincoln Riley nuked the offense as he was leaving. And of course the defense was already fubar. Venables will get it done.

Bro that was 3 years ago man.. THREE. Can't continue to place blame on him.. Did he tell BB to only recruit 2 OL in a class?

Probably going to be a low scoring game with 2 offenses that are struggling. But let's see what Hawkins can do.

OU should beat Auburn without much trouble imo.
Also imo but the QB move is more about deficiencies all over the offense more so than Arnold. Hawkins has better mobility and that offense needs that to try n get some production but:

A. That may well get him killed, Tennessee hurt him in less than a half of PT and

B. He won’t be a surprise now, teams will scheme for him and his skills and not Arnold’s.

I get why Venables made the move, but I’d still temper my expectations, he may well struggle too.

I’m not hiding behind anything. You asked what OU was going to do. The point is they have a guy that was highly thought of nationally. He also has OU blood so he wants to be there. Obviously if he doesn’t work out they will move on, like literally every program in the country have to do. Riley leaving when he did was the perfect storm due to nil. We are much better off but there are going to be some struggles. The defense is well on the way to looking like a Venables defense though, I’ll take that for now.

I hate NIL. People told me "Goldbug, you've never tried it. How do you know you don't like it?" And I said I've never shoved a cucumber up my ass but I'm pretty sure it's not my thing. Nothing has changed.

saw on twitter in some replies that the game might move to Norman due to the Hurricane?
