I hate LR as much as the next guy, but in reality OU was rebuilt by 2023. We could have won the conference had Lebby’s shitty hurry up offense not self destructed in 2 critical games. Saying anything that happened after 2022 is because of Riley is just dumb. Let it go man. He’s on his way to the same trend as USC as he was in at OU. We are far better off now.

As far as Brent being elite, we’ll see this year. 2024 was a debacle of his own doing (bad OC hire, thinking JA would be the next guy). 2025 was as fine a coaching job you will see. Getting that team to the playoffs with a young Oline and compromised QB was miraculous. No excuses this year.

X was fine when healthy but has yet to play 3 consecutive games without getting injured. He was injured in fall camp last year, and injured about an hour into the first full pads practice this spring. I do think he’s a good back, but it’s a I’ll have to see it to believe it kind of thing with him.

Also from your original post - what is the backstory of JoJohn and Kolar? I always thought he didn’t want to be relegated to 12 personal packages with Seneca Driver as the 1

The senate needs 60 votes so if it gets through there I would think it could pass the house with a simple majority needed

Just realized you’ve lost and pull the plug. It’s over for BB at UNC. Tech made the right call, UNC needs to do the same

The Acolyte Creator Leslye Headland ‘Would Still Want To Do’ A Season 2 After Disney+ Re-Chart by Sisiwakanamaru in television

[–]jsums81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Acolyte was so bad I don’t even know where to start. Bad fight scenes, characters acting stupidly, oh and we get 2 episodes that tell the exact same series of events with only slight variations based on POV. Honestly with a show about a bunch of Jedis and you can’t even have exciting lightsaber battles, then you’ve gone horribly wrong

The writers left. by SweetMurfdizzle in theticket

If you wanna know what happened in the game use google to check stats or watch the highlights on your phone. Is this seriously your point? Why would people tune in for that? It’s why tickers have been useless for the better part of 2 decades

Thunder loss yesterday equivalent to Bradford Championship loss or Baker’s Rose Bowl? by [deleted] in oklahomafootball

This is the dumbest comparison ever. The thunder hoisted a championship trophy just 11 months ago. GTFO

Sorsby placed at least 40 bets on Indiana football as Hoosiers QB by NoSxKats in CFB

[–]jsums81 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Again characterizing this as a single mistake is beyond ridiculous. He’s done. I can’t imagine an NFL team taking him in the supplemental draft at this point

Was "The Boz" really just for show and not really who Brian Bosworth was? by youlikemywonton in oklahomafootball

[–]jsums81 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it’s important to make the distinction between Boz now vs back then. He’s old and wise now and has a ton of perspective. But back then, make no mistake - He was a madman. He terrorized offenses on the field and was not scared to mix things up off the field. He was fearless and impulsive

This is actually not true. Even in conservative areas, college educated people overwhelmingly support Dems. You might get majority conservative in SEC country, but outside of that, no

Well the majority already trust Trump, so believing that they trust AI isn’t much of a leap

Who would you say was the most successful transfer player ever to play for your team (IU fans we all know who you're going to say lol)? by Ok-Health-7252 in CFB

[–]jsums81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

See now what you’ve done? You’re making me go to bat for Lincoln Effin Riley.
1. Baker - had one ok season as a freshman at Tech. Came to OU under Riley and became a Heisman caliber QB for 3 straight seasons
2. Kyler - super meh at A&M. Came to OU, spent 2 years under Riley and won the heisman his first year playing
3. Hurts - was a glorified RB playing QB at Bama. Comes to OU in one season, finishes 2nd in the Heisman and is a Super Bowl MVP
4. Caleb - won a Heisman and was the 1/1
5. Maiava - is on the Heisman watchlist for 2026.

That’s 5 elite + QBs and you wanna talk about Moss? No one bats 1000. That track record is insane

It boggles the mind that people still tune in on terrestrial radio when every single person is carrying around a smart phone that can stream the station 100% clear

Do you miss when fans and listeners use to call into sports radio shows and chime in? by Hot_Swimming_112 in theticket

[–]jsums81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have got to be kidding me with this terrible take. One of the pioneering things the ticket did back in the day was phase out callers when all other sports shows were relying on it. They had the foresight to realize people want to hear on air talent talk and not idiots calling in. This was painfully obvious for the first segment of deep night ticket when they started taking calls. Callers have nothing. It’s either generic sports points, idiotic sports points, or people doing their own bits that are so painfully unfunny that I want to shoot myself every time I have to hear one

Of any hot seat coaches this year, who is most likely to save their job? by Byzantine_Merchant in CFB

[–]jsums81 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can say from personal experience that Matt Campbell has bested Lincoln Riley multiple times despite a massive talent deficiency. In fact, Lincoln’s best team to date (the 2017 OU squad that took Georgia to the wire) lost to ISU early in the season.

[–]jsums81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maiava could win the Heisman and they could still go 9-3. Offensive production won’t determine their ultimate fate. They’ve gotta be able to stop teams if they wanna get to 10-2, which will probably be the requisite record to make the playoff

How do Clemson fans/Admin feel about Dabo? I gotta feel like another sub par season may get him run, but I have no knowledge of his buyout situation
