And to think the national media is not even covering this. Unbelievable.

Prayers from OK for all of you.
I'd like to know, too.

I think with a healthy Mateer, the upgraded receivers, plus an upgraded TE roster and coach, and a healthy XR and Blaylock - this team could make a run and surprise people in 2026.

Texas side. This was him. Looked a little like Jerry Reed.

By the way, your area is about to get inundated with new growth, as you know. New condos, Hard Rock Casino, all kinds of crapola.

I just remembered, I hunted ducks one time not far from where they're building that casino. A flooded flat on the Oklahoma side. Sad to see that area blow up with people.

I live within spitting distance from the Red River and Lake Texoma.

Lake Texoma is unique in that it is the only reservoir in the country that has a self sustaining striper population. Because they are a saltwater fish, they require very particular circumstances to be able to reproduce in a freshwater reservoir.

But this section of the Red, including Lake Texoma has a relatively high salinity due to the salt flats in the upper tributaries.

I'm on Lake Texoma 3-4 times a week busting stripers or going after big blue cats.


I've fished it about 3 times. Man I love it. The last time was with a guide that had a cabin next to his main residence where clients could stay overnight. Get up the next morning and he drives you to the ramp, which is about 1/2 mile or less from his house. Wish I could find that guy again.

re: Ou roster in 2026

The offense is upgraded on paper, but it still has OC benarbuggle.

His QB serves as the primary rusher, as this held true with Mateer in his first year at OU and his last year at Wazzu. In back-to-back seasons, his QB led the team in rushing attempts and yardage. Not the running backs.

So, it doesn't really matter who the RB is. He isn't utilized very often. Nor is the tight end position. Some are hoping BV will, or already has, modified the offense to include a bigger role for asst. coach, Kevin Wilson.

There was a company out of Oklahoma that made great mayo called Griffin's. Not sure if they're still around.

1. Griffin's
2. Duke's
For real though, your team got sharpened up and battle-tested just when you needed it the most. Poor ol' Injiana.
Did'ja know Captain Redlegs from Josey Wales was the same guy that raped Warren Beaty in Deliverance and got shot up with arrows by Burt Reynolds? He was also the weirdo on Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with the trunk full of rabbits. Clint whipped his arse.

The playoffs and the portal ruined bowl season.

I know disappearing can occur following and embarrassing defeat but the game has been over a while now and I’m not seeing a sooner on the first 3 pages


Yeah. That game was brutal. I'm not over it. I'm 61.

That said, I'm pullin for ya'll against the yanks.

I’m in pharmacy school, so I completely understand that sometimes it isn’t your fault. My question is, if it is simply due to poor choices, how can Elko preach discipline and not exercise it himself?


You're in pharmacy school, which is awesome. Just think about this. At age 40, I was jumping off of boats in Mexico and outswimming guys your age to an island. That isn't meant to sound rah-rah. It is meant to say you have a lot of years left to be in good shape!

But things can change. Good luck in your schooling. Much respect to ya.
One thing that comes with age is a little more understanding. I was like you. 40 years old, in great shape, not fat. Could swim across a river, trudge through mud with a bag full of duck decoys on my back. Everyone that is fat is a big dummy! Don't be so undisciplined!

Then, you get older and end up in the hospital because you can barely breathe while taking a walk. Turns out, you have congestive heart failure. Out of nowhere. Bam. You have it. It makes everything harder. You can't work out. Can't walk as much. Can't move as much. You start gaining weight. The whole thing is so depressing that you start sipping more bourbon at night. Then more. Then more. After a year, you've put on 50 pounds. Then a hundred pounds.

Your metabolism slows down, which (along with aging) makes it harder to shed the pounds.

I don't ever look at overweight people the same now. You have no idea what they may be going through. Health issues, stress, depression. It can hit you too.

Yall's was so high cause you had to keep playin us. :lol:
I bet it's on Pete Bootyjudge. They say he fouled up darn near everything.
What a great team. Fun to watch. I thought maybe they'd be in the national championship game a few weeks ago. You could be right. Maybe Bama though. They have the Seahawks' OC and Saban working on-call as a consultant.

OU has a 29 yr-old kid running the offense. He was coaching HS not long ago and comes from the powerful Pac 2 conference.

Haha.

Nice win Bama nation. To come into that environment and get clobbered on the ropes, battered and bruised, only to snap back and take the game over the way your team and coaching staff did - was almost unbelievable.

Hats off

re: Josh Cuevas

They're saying Cuevas will play 20-25 snaps tonight.
I'm the same as before any Alabama game. Nervous as crap. Everyone knows if they play their best, they win. It is our job to not let that happen.

sidenote: I think Georgia is one of the last 2 teams standing.
