re: If you were running the Admin, what would you do specifically to rehab R image before 28?

Posted by polaroid1984 on 11/9/26 at 11:54 am to Fun Bunch

It's simple: keep your campaign promises, or clearly explain why you are deviating (e.g. Iran).

It's a productive step for sure; however, not sure it's as significant as some may think. The problems on offense stem deeper than an OC. BB is a must-go IMO

re: Should the SEC get Okie St?

So it is abundantly clear that you have limited familiarity with media rights contracts and viewership strategy.

IF the SEC were to expand, why would it add a program from a state where it already controls the predominant media market? Adding new programs from states in the southeastern region allows the conference to increase its presence in additional media markets, while solidifying its presence in one geographic area.

what does that have to do with the State of Oklahoma?

Are you retarded? I was talking about the SEC, meaning the Southeastern Conference.

Brother… if the SEC were to expand, it makes far more sense to make a play for programs in states that are categorically in the southeastern region. Any “pros” for getting OkieLite are also shared by UNC, UVA, Clemson. The OK media market is already skewed to OU. The pokes don’t offer the conference anything that either the SEC already has, or could easily get from much more appealing programs

Russia allying with Iran, North Korea and China makes quite a telling axis.

In comparison to the motley crew of Western Europe that can't afford adequate militaries and allows rampant migration, which is directly contributing to their rapid decline? Europe is now weaker than ever, and it's solely their own fault. They haven't lifted a finger to help the US stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, which China gladly assisted them with. With "friends" like these, who needs enemies?

Western Europe has behaved antagonistically toward Russia. Whether or not this is understandable is another argument, but from Russia's perspective, it's not irrational to look for partners elsewhere.

re: Oklahoma is 9-10 in SEC play since joining the conference.

This offense would struggle in literally every conference unless they have a favorable ACC schedule. But even that's a strong maybe

I agree BV is not HC material. The problem now is the buyout; OU is not going to front that much money, and very few programs would. Offense seems to be a quicker fix than defense in this modern era. However, our HC has now gone through several changes at offense, and the problems are still there. It appears that the Administration is very deferential in letting him run the program as he sees fit, or they don't really care.

Save for Witten and maybe Wilson, OU should clean house offensively and start anew. BB needed to be fired 2 seasons ago. I think to minimize damage, you promote Wilson to OC. Recruiting will take a hit, but that's not a luxury we can entertain at this moment.

This is only in our best interest if you assume that a stronger NATO benefits the United States. Recent history indicates that NATO countries have been unreliable partners, and America's involvement in it only benefits the other members. Perhaps there is something that I am missing. Would you care to enlighten me if so?

We've given Ukraine billions of dollars, plus free access to Starlink. In return, Ukraine used our generosity to engage in impermissible actions. I'd say Ukraine is acting much more like the enemy. Heaven forbid America acts in its best interest and doesn't defer to a de facto midget-dictator!

Oklahoma's on-field performance is blatantly unacceptable. However, I'd like to remind you that we went 6-7 in the Big 12 during BV's first year. So I'm not sure that it's isolated to the SEC.

re: Who was OU bidding against when they extended Venables?

I was willing to entertain the whole USC divorce back in the day; however, it's year 5. Coaches in the SEC are debunking that narrative in year 1. Sorry in advance that the RRS will, once again, be uncompetitive

re: Who was OU bidding against when they extended Venables?

Posted by polaroid1984 on 9/28/26 at 5:45 pm to RammerJammer91

This is now the second time they've extended Venables before the season was fleshed out, and the team catastrophically imploded largely due to poor quarterback play...

At some point, you gotta wonder if it's just gross incompetence or intentional. Doesn't seem like the Admin is willing to listen to the fanbase. Trouble in Norman for sure.

Maybe we will become the next Nebraska; maybe we won't. But I can't confidently say that OU will be back, although I would love to.

Take your suicidal empathy and GFYS with it!

You are selling your bloodline out for a group of people who are militantly tribalistic and nepotistic.

And if they are as assimilated as you're purporting, surely they'd be intermixed with all the other good Texans. But no, they specifically isolate and segregate themselves in their own clusters.

That is an invasion.

re: Is Abdul deliberately trying to sound like Obama?

Posted by polaroid1984 on 8/5/26 at 11:42 am to Dawglovertoo

He is their new Obama.

They tried women and failed. They can't put up a gay. They need novelty. Abdul allegedly was born in Michigan, making him eligible to run for President - something Mamdani can't do. A Soros family scholarship funded his Doctor of Medicine at Columbia Medical School.

He is the Dem's attempt to rebut the notion that muslims can't assimilate. He went to Michigan where he was involved in club sports. His step-mother is white, he even ran a campaign ad showcasing his white grandparents. He's even trying to claim that Abdul is a conventional American name. He's innoculating every attack levied against Obama in 2008. This is catnip to the Karens. If he wins his Senate seat, he will run in 2028
