In Stewart Mandel’s weekly mailbag Q&A for The Athletic, he discusses OU’s chances after moving to the SEC.

Earlier this week was a nice milestone for SoonerApp: It has been 10 years since version 1.0 was released on the App Store. Thank you to everyone who continues to use and support the app! I remember frantically trying to get the app completed and launched before the 2012 season opener against UTEP, while learning how to be a parent for our newborn baby. 10 years later, I’m still learning how be a parent, only to 3 kids now, and we still have a season opener against UTEP! A lot has changed the past 10 years for OU football as…
WCWS ushers pride themselves on tracking down home run balls and returning them to the families of the players who hit them. The WCWS staff and ushers aren’t exactly sure when the tradition started, just that it’s beloved and something they hope never changes. Mary Koch, who was working along the first-base dugout on Thursday, said this is her 20th season and it was already a part of her duties when she got the job.

Stewart Mandel, The Athletic’s Editor in Chief of College Football, has released something he’s calling the post-transfer portal early Top 25 for the 2022 college football season. Notably, he has left the Sooners outside the 25, lumping them in to the ‘others receiving votes’ section behind Iowa and BYU. This has of course caught the attention of the Sooner nation on Twitter, who have let their feelings heard. Mandel followed up with his reasoning with the following: https://twitter.com/slmandel/status/1489647574004867077 Other Notable Schools in the Rankings Baylor – 11thOSU – 15thUSC – 20th Jason Kersey, OU Beat Writer for The Athletic, had…
