Not what I wanted but a Bowl win gets us three straight double digit win seasons and three straight top ten finishes so can't really complain.
Our first two seasons in the SEC with a conference regular season win / loss total of 13-3 was better than anyone thought.

I'm dull to it at this point

And candidly I'd often said the worst outcome would be be some 7-5 result where we didn't really take a big step forward and had no further insight into Hugh's ability to get over the hump but were too paralyzed to act. And mid-season, it definitely looked like that was very possible (perhaps even at 6-6).

So, sad as it is, a coaching change was essentially like a signature win this year. At least it's something different. Entrenched apathy is probably worse than a scrape and rebuild.

I'm right there with ya. I hardly ever even talk razorback sports anymore. I was getting excited during this coaching search and my brother and Dad were like, "but why?" My only answer was that the near semi-annual coaching changes are far more exciting than watching the bullshite on the field.

Razorback football used to be fun to watch. Not so much anymore. And I know it's the same for Auburn. You guys used to be good too. It sucks.

Below expectations. ESPN promised Arch would be the first human to win the Heisman three times, which is hard to do if you lose to Florida!

We lost most games because we did not learn to win.

We wear watches in warmups, but don’t secure the football.

The ball hit the ground too much on offense.

We had lots of presnap penalties.

We were “close”, but this is not horseshoes or hand grenades.

Now we are going to find out who wants to get better or run away.

Coach Golesh will have us reading Dostoyevsky.

He has no hobbies. He does not golf, fish,or hunt.

The pogram is being developed to win the SEC and the CFP.

We will dance the Kalinka by 2028!!!!!!

OL was a major disappointment. It’s been our Achilles heal for 16 years, and, this season, it meant our run game was nonexistent most of the year, causing Arch to try and do too much.

That said, he improved dramatically down the stretch, we beat our 3 biggest rivals & have a chance at 10 wins for both seasons in the SEC.

It’s a solid B in my book.

I thought 10-2 was our ceiling, so I'm overjoyed with 11-1. The defense has improved drastically. Stockton, despite the horrid performance against Georgia Tech, has improved as well. I don't expect us to win it all this season, but I do like our chances of winning a game or two in the playoffs.

Ms State:
- 1 more win than expected.
-MUCH more competitive than I expected against a few ranked teams.
- Ran out of gas & healthy bodies, as expected

Lebby could get take yuge leap with $ spent on the right players. This offseason may determine his future

OU's schedule was brutal. I thought after last year 8-4 would be pretty good. Here we stand at 10-2. Great coaching job!

Hard to believe how bad of an offensive line we have and how bad Nuss regressed.



I think the bad O line helped the regression along tremendously. And it was really surprising seeing LSU with a line that bad.

This was miserable season of watching LSU football.

Painful. Excruciating.


Turned off and walked away from 2 games.


Glad it’s over, no matter what happens with Kiffin.

This season fricking sucked.

Other than a bad game against FSU but that was first time starter at QB who made first time starter mistakes, I can’t complain. Bama is in the sec cg with more than likely a playoff spot so there was improvement. A good season for a second year coach who runs a different system than what was recruited at Bama before.

Preseason I expected Oklahoma to field a better offense than the prior year but I thought the defense would take a step back based on the starters lost from 2024.

I fully expected to see the Sooners go 6-6 once more and I am not sorry to be wrong, really wrong.

The defense actually got better. Comparing the offenses year over year is a tough call. There have been times when the offense has played much better and times when it looks much the same as last year. The biggest surprise is the improvement on Special Teams. OU did lose one game where the ST coughed up the ball on a punt return when the game was still a one-score affair.

Overall Sooner fans are ecstatic over this version of Oklahoma football and are looking forward to being in the CFP.

Suck it, whorns!

Go Sooners!
