Oklabama here is the schedule. I was thinking UT was and OU plays them first. Ole Miss is in October.
Speaking of the SEC, did anyone watch the whole show? I watched through the first hour to see the schedule but got tired of the “ Texas is SEC ready, OU has a lot of work to do” rhetoric. Lots of blah blah blah crap
I was relying on the article, but you're right. I should have checked it out. Or I could have just misread it. LOL. Thanks for cleaning it up for me.
I think Green may just want a bidding war. A guy like him may get a good one. Everybody is talking about how big his loss is. Maybe if he got a great NIL deal, he'd be happy. He may have also been sold on OU being a better chance to be a playoff team. But Mizzou is a top 11 team this season, and OU wasn't. Barely on both counts. But it made a difference. Honestly, I don't think the SEC East is any better than the Big XII, at least no this season. But perceptions matter.
I'm sure that's what the agents were saying. He's making it clear that he thinks he's NFL caliber but the agents didn't think so, not quite, and I'm sure they told him he'd be best served by having a Heisman-like year. That's easier to happen at Oregon than Oklahoma next year.... apparently to the agents.
If true...what a sad state college football is currently in! Sounds like 'Dad' wants part of the payroll.
College football is like the wild west now! NIL laws suck bad. Playing for a free education used to be a great honor. Where is the honor in team hopping to the highest bidder? I understand the game now that NIL is here, but I don't like it near as much.
Lebby is gone and DG saw what the staff at oregon did with Bo Nix. He faced a new offensive coordinator regardless, so stay at OU with a giant question mark regarding what the new guys can/will do or go some place that already has a proven staff of turning a mid round draft prospect into a possible first rounder. It was a no brainer for DG.
I agree and Gabriel gets to play back home in Hawaii his first game with the Ducks. That’s gotta be great for him and his family.
Bo Nix disagrees with you.
Dillon Gabriel disagrees with you.
I am sure many of these dads would tell you they just want the best for there kid. In truth they are likely the greediest and want a piece of the pie themselves. When I hear stories like this and someone like him says “ talk to my dad” it is sad that a grown man still lets his dad ( or parents ) try to tell him what to do. Whats even worse is for a parent to try to profit off his child. Thats a sad man if you ask me.
Unfortunately some young people can convince you they are this goodie goodshoe person and then show his true self afterwards. If he is doing this you can bet he will see a whole new attitude from our fanbase in regards to DG. I just hope it isnt true for his sake.
Oh no worries BC. You know me. I just can't say what I want to say so I'll say, you know I know a few folks around town.
Sounds like you might have already passed the last free exit...
100% agree, one of the greatest days of my life was when my dad handed me the phone and as I listened to the coach say we are offering you a full ride scholarship, seeing the look on my dads face brought tears to my eyes. My dad told me I didnt have to work that summer, that my job was getting ready for the upcoming football season. It was just a DIAA school, but I was on top of the world that summer knowing I got to play football and my school/books/meals/housing was paid for. I guess our NIL money came at the end of the semester when we got to sale the books back to the campus book store.
NIL and poaching go together like peas and carrots. Coach prime is one of the biggest poachers. Trouble is, he thinks he's the only one who is allowed.
