Anyone see the video of Anthony working out and saying he feels 100%? All these dudes are soft and full of crap.

He and Farooq are head scratchers for me. They are both really good and would have had starting spots if healthy.

32 Arkansas players in the Portal. They are not happy here in Arkieland. What a cluster CF is now.

At 76 years of age I’m getting close to walking away from my lifelong love of OU and college football.
Too much is about money and it’s making the “rich get richer” (Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, etc) and the game is now just a pre-pro league based on a ***** mentality.
I’m seeing OU fade into mediocrity as Nebraska and Arkansas did.
I’ll likely take the seven national championships, the 40-plus conference championships and everything else that came along under Wilkinson, Fairbanks, Switzer and Stoops and call it a day.
A year from now, I hope these words are premature and dead wrong.
As for this game against Navy, OU faces a team that will be better prepared and motivated (and fully intact) and ready to give OU all it can handle as Army did in 2018. Academy teams play hard the entire game.
Regardless of what this Navy game is to us, it’s really a game that Venables needs to win as he faces more heat and bigger challenges.

well OU missed on their top two WR targets, but we did land a punter and a kicker. So QB targets are waiting to see what WR are coming in while the WR are waiting to see what QB comes in, could be a win or could be a disaster. I will there is a QB on the roster that may surprise people, Steele Wasel out of Choctaw, 6'3 230lb got a cannon for an arm. If Arbuckle and his new QB coach are what they say they are both Hawkins and Steele could be really good. Steele wears #14 Bradford 2.0 you heard it here first, he's going to be a player for someone.

Hate to hear it about with receivers with 2/3 of ours leaving. Maybe after the playoffs.
Burks and Gibson have announced their return. I think Jacob Jordan and Ivan Carreon are guys who could fill rolls. We need some depth but I'm not longer fretting about the losses. I hate to see Nic Anderson go as a legacy guy but everybody leaving only left potential on the field.
We've got to get a TE and a QB in the portal and it would seem Mateer should be coming.

Wonder what plan B is if he opts for Miami? I am pretty confident he chooses OU but you never know
I would definitely think OU, as it is an easy transition for him already knowing the offense and he will be 2 hours from home. If not OU, then Micael Hawkins would be next in line unless there is a surprise somewhere.

Malik Murphy, would be someone I would go after. May remember as a member of the steers a few years ago.

Several Sooners will be playing for a new SEC team next year. Is BV against bringing in fellow conference mates players? I know he will never go after a Clemson kid, but with all these SEC players in the portal and OU has signed zero of them. Maybe he doenst know that the winter cycle is the only cycle SEC players can transfer to other SEC teams.
I don't understand some of these decisions, JJ Hester to Kentucky? Maybe Farooq and / or Anthony decide to stay with Mateer headed this way?

I think Anthony was given his walking papers. Hurt all year, but is not well enough to post a video of himself training saying is is 100%

Malik Murphy originally transferred to Duke because he wanted to start instead of being #3 behind Ewers and Manning. I highly doubt he would come to OU to sit behind Mateer.

The question was who would plan B be if Mateer went elsewhere. Anyone else hear that Arbuckle is top candidate for the Washington State job, If so and he took it Im guessing the qb coach goes with him as his OC and Mateer follows them back to Wazzu

His name hasn't even been mentioned in the Seattle area media as a potential replacement. WSU is a dying program, and they're going into a watered down, reconstituted Pac-12 conference with Oregon State and five Mountain West teams. The leading candidates right now to replace Dickert are Jim Mora, Jr., Brent Vigen, Kirby Moore, Eric Morris, Dirk Koetter and Bobby Hawke.
Agree, he is not going back to WSU. The OU Offensive Coordinator position is better than being the HC at Washington State that's in a dying 2nd rate conference that nobody cares about.

These hurt, Sharp is the first TE that can run routes and catch, in the last few years. Our best offenses always have a strong TE/HB.

Sharp was a liability in the run game, he was not physical enough at the point of attack. Davon Mitchell, was a very good blocking and receiving TE in high school, hopefully he can continue at the next level. We should get a chance to see what he can do in the bowl game. He and Hawkins played together so hopefully they have that connection and the big boy can get rolling.
Mitchell is a slightly younger freshman than most from what I’ve read and his development has been slow. That may not have a bearing on how good he will be eventually but it does put OU in a situation where a tight end needs to come in vis transfer or JUCO ranks.
I have thought that LB Kanak may be a better H-back than linebacker based on his high school videos where he played both ways at several positions.

Welp, not happening. Farooq to Maryland and Anthony to Duke? I really just don't understand what some of these guys are doing.

I think and this is just my opinion but I believe quite a few were told to hit the road for various reasons we will never know about.
