Absolutely zero chance of Brent Venables getting canned. Have you looked at their 2023 schedule? OU isn’t Auburn. Give me a break. Do a little research. Blake was a Donnie Duncan hire and he and Duncan exited together. Castiglione has absolute control over the athletic department. Venables was his hire. He doesn’t give up on himself. We will be ready in 2024. Keep using the term “Okie”, it motivates us.
Thank God! I graduated from OU, live 10 miles from the stadium and can’t wait to welcome my friends from Baton Rouge to my hometown. I’ll bask in all the unmitigated grief I will be taking from the SEC hordes. It just means more. I get it. Boomer Sooner!
I thought it was good that OU and TX are keeping a low profile in their participation in meetings with the SEC regarding the future scheduling format. In the Daily Oklahoman it was reported OU has taken a "we are the new guys" attitude and whatever you do we are happy with. I know all systems here are in building an internal SEC program for 2025. Not a whole lot of chest thumping. We are more than proud to become a member in 2025 and keep our mouths shut now. We have to endure constant sniping from the Big 12 but it's disingenuous if you ask me. We have followed every by-law regarding leaving the conference.
I guess 52-31 is squeaking by. OU has depth issues in the defensive secondary but two starters will be back by the November games. Makes a big difference when you don't have to play two high safeties on every down.
Yea. That's just your opinion man. I don't think OU will be shocked in the SEC. We fully appreciate the quality of play but I don't think we are shaking at the thought of entering the conference. You are underestimating the 2021 team also. While we have yet to come together on both sides of the ball we are still 5-0. Assuming we get a starting corner back Saturday I think we can win and advance. I would not want to play Alabama or Georgia but I think everyone else is fair game.
Live in Oklahoma, wife and I both OU alumni. Comments about OK Legislature getting involved are laughable. OU Athletic Department hasn’t taken state money in decades. I’m in favor. Evidently this has been in works for 6 months. Great story at newsok.com
