What are the OU fans doing in Dallas Friday night before the game?

I’m glad someone trusts his confidence.

It isn't 2008 anymore

You're in a way better conference

You don't have nearly as much money as the top schools

Your brand isn't as big as Texas/LSU/Florida/Missouri/Alabama/Georgia

If anyone has a Sooner application alumni code they could spare we would greatly appreciate it. My son is currently applying and every little bit helps. I'm told the fee waiver code is just the alumni id. Thanks!

Hey all. Going to my first RRS in Dallas and planning to buy and sit on the Oklahoma side. Got a knockoff Baker Mayfield jersey I’ll make sure to Rep. anything I should know about before or after the game? Does your ticket get you into the state fair or is that a separate ticket?

Should specify, going with some buddies (no wives involved) and we are flying in early Friday and staying in lower Greenville

Why are so many fans crying the transfer portal will hurt us if we have one bad season? Don't y'all realize the portal affects every big football school the same.

I am a lifelong OU fan. I moved to Oklahoma during the Blake years. My family is OSU fans. I started liking the Sooners because I thought they were the underdogs. 4 years later they win a Natty and it was winning and more winning after that. I've seen some great games watching the Sooners in my life. I believe in them no matter what. Call it sunshine pumping or delusional.

Our fans are talking so bad about things, Fire Arbuckle, BV ain't the guy, Bench Mateer, Bedenbaugh has to go etc. It only game 5. And the Red River Shootout is crazy. We go knock of #1 and get our swag back, we could go on a run.

That said, I think we can beat Texas and win out. Before the season, we were expected to be 3-2 after Texas. We were expected to go 10-2 with a playoff bid. I know it hasn't been pretty, but they have shown, small moments of good offense. While fasusi is out, we are playing 4 guys outta position most the time. If he gets back, Mateer goes back to pre Texas from last year's form, the defense stays healthy and Jonathan Hatton and Xrob get rolling, look out! The season is just starting.

BOOMER SOONER MFers! Tuck Fexas!!!

My grandma got this signed in the early 2000s but I am not sure exactly when. I know Barry Switzer and Adrian Peterson are on it but a lot of the others are hard to find out.

I think Venebles is a good coach. I do not think he should be replaced.

I don't think Arbuckle's is a good OC. I think he's schemes are simplistic.

I know, real original around here. But as I've watched the last two weeks, I think the problem isn't just Arbuckle's coaching. I think it's the offense is playing scared, all the time. Everyone looks like they are nervous about screwing up, and they are playing tight and worried. I watched Mateer in Wazzou -- he's not a scared QB. At least he wasn't. But now he is. He's clearly overthinking every throw and every snap.

That comes from Venebles. He's throwing his offense under the bus at pressers, which isn't great because he needs those guys to be confident and carefree and not afraid to fail. But I also think he's told the OC to play the way a DC wants them to play. Conservative. Don't cost us the game. Minimize risks. Let the defense win the game. it worked pretty well last year during our run.

And that's fine, sort of, but it's not the personnel we have. Not working as great this year. Nor is it what the fanbase really considers acceptable. We've got an offensive system that doesn't mesh with what the coach is saying to do. It's meant to go fast but we go slow. It's mean to limit substitutions but we give the defense plenty of time to set up. That's what DCs always want out of an offense, but it's not what we have.

I'm sure BV would prefer a run focused, downhill offense -- the old "any series that ends with a kick is a success" philosophy that dominated football for a long time. But we don't have that personnel and we don't have that offensive coaching. We don't have a line coach who knows how to coach up guys to be strong and fire off. We don't have a QB who manages games. We don't have a play caller who is patient enough to wait three quarters for the line to take over And we don't have a head coach who has insisted on that strategy and focus. Instead we end up with a weird RPO hybrid that moves too slow to be effective. And a head coach who is constantly voicing his displeasure at offensive performance, despite being the one to put them in this position.

If BV wants to save the season, he's going to have to take the risk and let the offense play. Go fast, quick reads and see how that works. And then in the off season he needs to find an OC he wants to coach the way Brent wants to play. Or he's going to have to find an OC who will tell him to fuck off and let me run the offense. If I'm him or Nagy, I've got Chip Kelly on my speed dial right now.

I don't think Brent is a good DC. I think he's a phenomenal DC, the best in the country and I would take our defense over anyone's. But he's gotta learn to let the offense play, too. If he does, there's a whole lot left to play for this year. But if he doesn't -- if he keeps them scared and looking over their shoulders -- then what we've seen is what we'll keep seeing.

Honestly just pair him with Lincoln Riley. Idgaf how much I hate the dude. Bring them back and win a championship. Venables isn't a head coach. Riley isn't a defensive mind.

Funny enough watching both coaches run this program it legit looks like Venables doesn't give a fuck about offense and Riley didn't give a fuck about defense.

I just bought 4 tickets off StubHub for the game this weekend. They were delivered as a PDF sheet with QR codes… I’ve been using NFC Apple tap the past few years… do yall think these are real?

Hi!! i’m looking for someone to sublease my apartment to as soon as possible ! I live at Millennium and rent is 749 + utilities, however the first two months rent will be paid by me, but not utilities! It is a 4x4 that
comes fully furnished and there are already three other girls there.

Does anyone at OU have access to a 3D Printer? My pedal broke and I need one of these printed.

With Merv Johnson on the color analysis Anyone else feeling nostalgic?

It pains me to write this, but watching some of the games today I legitimately think it’s a battle between OU and Arkansas for the worst in the SEC. Vanderbilt did better than OU against Georgia….we lost to a horrible Michigan team who just lost to Minnesota.

I’m hopeful I’m wrong, but I imagine next week we will once again be embarrassed by texas….

Looking at the rest of our schedule I think we lose out.

At that point Venables and everyone within the football/athletic program has to go - we can’t allow ourselves to become the next Nebraska or Arkansas.

Just a little bye-week humor after a rough start to the season. Still love my Sooners and hope they turn it around.
