"Should have taken the easy completion" "Should have run with it" "His footwork is terrible" ... all after Mateer hit a receiver in stride, 40 yards downfield, while on the run and rolling to his left. In the College Football Playoff. People will complain about anything.

#Sooners moving the opener from Saturday to Friday, so... we're now 65 days away. Moving that sucker up. No. 65? Jayden Jackson. Not including Jackson among the top defensive tackles? That is, uh, a choice.

Good things happen to good people. Met this guy on day 1 of college, and it was always clear he was headed straight to the top. He’s been a great friend and coworker along the way for nearly a decade. Enjoy it out west @CKennedy247!

This is actually correct. OU could have chosen to play at night on Saturday. But it’s my understanding that with a quick turnaround playing Michigan at 11 a.m. CT the next week and with the Oklahoma heat in Sept (even at night), it preferred to just play at night on Friday.

This is some of the stuff that @GeorgeStoia just absolutely crushes. Baker Mayfield, John Mateer's off-season trainers - QB coach, biomechanics, and Mateer himself from the Manning Passing Academy. Just an unbelievable read for #Sooners fans to get a better feel for their QB.

I talked to Mateer a couple of days ago at Manning Passing Academy. I actually asked him if he lost weight because of how lean he looked. He said he hasn’t lost or gained any weight. Just in better shape. “I’m in the best shape of my life, for sure.”

Bode Sparrow (No. 59 overall prospect nationally) is the #Sooners’ highest-ranked safety commit since Peyton Bowen back in the 2023 class. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s flirting with five-star status by the end of the cycle. He is an incredible all-around football player.

My dad has lived in Omaha almost his entire life. He was a sophomore at OU, and there in the Rosenblatt bleachers, when the #Sooners won the CWS in 1994. 32 years later, he got to watch the title drought end tonight alongside me (OU grad), my mom (OU grad), and my youngest sister (current OU student, big cotton candy gal). His favorite pair of sunglasses flew off his head after Kyle Branch’s insult-to-injury homer, and an increasingly miserable UNC fan sitting behind us stomped on them and crushed them. Other than that, though, I think he probably enjoyed the night as much as anybody. Long time coming.

Think whatever you want about Sorsby, but seeing a lot of “Jeffrey Kessler doesn’t want to pick a fight with the NFL.” If you’re thinking that, Google the name Freeman McNeil. Kessler beat the NFL as badly as it has ever been beaten.
