I don't think you've been to Oklahoma

Couldn't tell if this was directed at me, but I've lived here in Oklahoma for 31 years. I listen to those radio stations you reference. I don't agree with much of what is said here about Oklahoma. I think more than half the people here in Oklahoma can be tied back to Alabama in some way. You know... the Trail of Tears and whatnot.

What I will tell you is that the level of attention given to college football between Oklahoma and Alabama is light years apart. You probably can't appreciate it unless you have experienced it first hand on both fronts.

We've been busy following Thunder basketball

You see, that's the problem. Ever since a couple of days after the playoffs, there has been nothing on the Oklahoma sports radio about OU football. It's like a bunch of ostriches with their head in the sand. I tune in from time to time to try to hear something about college football and all I get is Thunder, OU, and OSU basketball. Don't you people even care about college football ? There is no comparison... the SEC " It just means more. "

This is an interesting team. Turnovers seem to be the villain, that and playing up or down to the competition level. I'm buckled up and enjoying seeing us knock off some of the elite competition. No team goes from being poor to being dominant in the short run. We need to focus to get better. I guess that could be translated into Sabanese as "execute". It seems we are capable of much better play than we have seen in recent years.

The name that immediately jumps into my head is J.K. Scott. Things would have been vastly different without the guy.

Expanding to 8 or anything greater than 4 will make it easier for Bama to get in. Are you sure that's what people want ? :booboo:

Art Briles could probably be rehabilitated. Saban could keep him in check and we could recruit Texas better.

That God-willing......it will start up again. In the meantime, Spring Practice and maybe some good recruiting news will have to do.

Another good Meridan player for Bama was DT Kenny Smith.

One of two things happens:

Dabo forgets the way home or Phil Fulmer gets us on trumped up allegations.

Seriously, if coach Saban manages his departure the same way he manages everything else, it could be a seamless transition, but no one should expect anybody to come in here and match what CNS has done. This kind of coach doesn't come along often. It was what ? 51 years between Bryant and Saban.
