Any reliable gossip about Mateer's hand re-hab?
As a bonus, is a QB coach working with him on that throwing motion?

I totally remember The Boz wearing his classic T-Shirt - made it to national TV!
Yep, even when I ask the free A.I. systems like "Gemini" about NCAA decisions - even the A.I. systems describe the NCAA as inconsistent and unpredictable.
It's pretty bad when even the A.I. systems see that an organization is a dumpster fire.
I guess we'll see how our new player-personnel management staff (Nagy, Denny, and crew) navigate the lawyering and politicking at this next level appeal.
I have confidence those guys can right this wrong.

I checked on the interwebs and found Owen's name among the linebackers invited. Could not determine actual attendance.
My guess is all the NFL scouts know his limbo status, and he's probly just networking in person on his own dime.
I asked Google Gemini about Senior Bowl attendance and college eligibility, it gave this answer:
"Attending Senior Bowl week without playing does not inherently cost a college football player their remaining eligibility, provided they do not sign with an agent or accept prohibited benefits. Participation in practices/activities alone is allowed, but declaring for the NFL draft or signing with an agent will terminate NCAA eligibility.
Practice vs. Play: Players can attend, practice, and participate in meetings during Senior Bowl week without violating NCAA rules, provided they maintain amateur status.
Draft Declaration: Formally declaring for the NFL Draft constitutes a loss of eligibility.
Professional Representation: Signing with an agent to represent them in the draft, or accepting money, terminates eligibility, regardless of whether they play in the game."

Is Owen at the Senior Bowl? Thought that might be an issue that would mess with eligibility.
Glad to see Hoosiers grab that win. At least they have good team colors.
Watching the cocaines thugs go down ugly on that glaring pick nourishes my 40 year grudge haha lol. Nice.

Apologies in advance - for this nit picking.
Two player's names are posted twice on the "out" list:
Gentry Williams
Sammy Omosigho
I just would like to see the "out" list shorter, lol.
Nice to see the "in" list growing. Maybe after the portal closes starting the 17th it will grow quicker. Nagy & Co. are busy.

Not portal, yet personnel related question -
Any reliable rumors out yet regarding Owen Heineken's appeal for another year eligibility?

Just saw that Strong is going to Clemson.
Had hoped he would u-turn back here.

Does anyone have interest in the next CFP rounds?
Back when it was only bowl games, the fan-guessing-game at what scores by which team win would generate the most "final AP poll" votes was a great conversation topic.
With this weirdly numbered 12-team bracket, (why not 8 or 16?) and with the "committee" starting out by breaking its own rules, i.e. "no rematches", I am indifferent after OUr rematch round. Rematches negate a reason for the CFP to exist.
The only sports news I care about now are OUr NIL/portal acquisitions/divestitures; and OUr H.S. 'croots.

Tate is STAYING PUT for 2026.
Just saw another site quote a guy on "X".

"Marcus Dupree's cousin leaving OU.
Maybe he'll get picked up by Tech."
Had to look up who was the cousin - Isaiah Autry-Dent.
Seasoned O-linemen can find good landing places. Best wishes to his future success.
(edit) I see his "X" announcement already posted in this thread.

Let me post this pre-emptive best wishes to whoever enters the portal.
It is now just part of the business side of the sport. It is reality. Portal season is just another element of football season, as is summer conditioning, etc.
At least, as a certain famous coach has said of NIL, "Now Its Legal" to pay the players cash for their labors. With the year-round hard work by every player involved at this level of the sport, the dollars are earned.
Us schlub fans sitting on the sofa recognize and appreciate the hard work by the teams!

re: Sooners what’s a traditional dish I might smell at a tailgate? Anything unique?

I hear overcooked brisket is a thing there.
Used to be.
Until a certain west coast program paid $100,000,000 for that chef.
They did us a big favor.

Roadkill armadillo chili.
Well deserved. Made those kicks under high pressure, totally clutch.
And ... Tate the Great makes it look easy. A generational talent.

Venables says Gentry Williams had shoulder surgery and will not be available for the Alabama game.
Says he does not know about R Mason Thomas.
CFP Rules Question:
Does the CFP governing body (who is that, anyway) have an injury reporting rule similar to the conference Thursday-injury-report rule that applied to SEC vs. SEC games?

Bama rematch lol
Who else is remembering that year the Orange Bowl brought us in for a re-match with Nebraska? Cornhusker Nation was not happy lol. That re-match worked out well for us, iirc.
I might be a bot.
A.I. has feelings, too.

Gundy checked out because of NIL and portal. Team quit when he did.
^^^^that's what I'm thinking.
However, Gundy got a lot of portals guys for his final season. Kept hearing his program was not showing the money to acquire top tier.
The guy they just hired must have been promised bigly NIL $$$$. No doubt he's also looking at the NFL model that many programs (including OUrs) are now using.
I find it interesting to see what programs have the $$$ and spend the $$$, such as Vandy buying a whole team from N.M. St.
The new normal.
