I went to one last year and we actually beat the Pacers :nana:

Formby on that play

Some people are never going to be happy with a “non-tough, non-prioritizing hard-nosed running first” offense. It is what it is.

Washington was exactly that in 2023, but their starting tailback had 1200 yards and averaged 5 ypc. That kid doesn't have an NFL carry to his name.

It's a two fold problem, we have average running backs and we have average run blocking offensive linemen.

It's puzzling to me that Dear isn't getting carries and tells me he must not look any better than the others in practice, or he fumbles the ball in practice. I don't care if he can block or not, stick him in there to run or on designed pop passes or roll outs. Hill nor Miller can make something out of nothing, I'd at least like to see if Dear has that in his bag, because not much is there.

Coaches don't always get it exactly right when it comes to the best RBs getting the ball. In 2017 the carries broke down as follows

D. Harris- 135
Scarbrough- 124
N. Harris- 61
Josh Jacobs- 46
Brian Robinson- 24

Guess which 3 are still getting paid to run a football

We've got 3 6'5"-6'8" wing defenders now in Mallette, Allen, and Hannah that we were missing last year and Bethea should be back for conference play at 6'5".

My concern isn't with the backcourt at all. We need to get Bristow back and able to contribute in the front court. Sherrell is a good small 5 but when he's out we have to play Bowen there and we really need him at the 4 to be our best. Not sure how much Onyejiaka will contribute when conference play starts.

This team is built for March though. Great guards and long wing defenders is how you make a deep run, and we've got that.

Not sure what the answer is. Salah is a black hole on the right wing and Konate makes 2-3 boneheaded plays a game that result in big chances or goals. We are missing Diaz in the attack. His goal record wasn’t the best but he could make something out of nothing, which is what we tend to generate lately.

Our best run of form came with Szoboslai at right back, I’m not sure why we don’t give that a try again. We don’t have the pace to spread teams out and beat them down the flank. If the team is setup to run narrow then throw Isak and Ekitike up top and put Wirtz in the hole and run narrow.

And start Joe Gomez

This week we had a Meyer lemon with soaked mustard seeds that pop in your mouth

I'd be interested in that recipe. I've got a Meyer tree in my back yard full of ripe fruit that I need to start using

OU is a horrible matchup for them and will whip them Saturday.

"We (LSU) are the better football team"

dallastiger55 some time during the first quarter of the Alabama/LSU game on Saturday.

Oklahoma's bread and butter is stopping the run. Bama has ripped off 8 wins in a row without running the ball. Opelousas probably holds our backs to 3.2 ypc.

Somehow the Alabama defense is flying under the radar, but it'll be the most athletic group OU has seen outside of Texas. I expect bama to completely smother the OU offense and create multiple turnovers

Let us know how they're tasting. I'm planning to order 200 for thanksgiving

Cornbread dressing with giblet gravy. Our family recipe is the best I've ever had, as I'm sure y'alls is too

Sweet potato casserole comes in second

As far as non traditional thanksgiving meal traditions, I've brought a cooler of raw oysters up the last few years. Those are always a big hit

Man, Salah just can not beat a man 1v1 on the wing anymore. I cringe every time he gets the ball out there because he is going to lose it most of the time
