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…

OU player Jeremiah Hall, who along with TE Brayden Willis, co-host the excellent Podcast on the Prairie. On their latest episode, Jeremiah blessed us with some, uh, singing? 😂 He was forthcoming with his self-assessment earlier today, and as expected, the responses were pretty withering: https://twitter.com/Jeremiah_Hall27/status/1486000301601665029 Teddy Lehman is here for the self-torture https://twitter.com/TedLehman11/status/1486006912135143427 Jeremiah’s mom did not hold back: https://twitter.com/thankgod36/status/1486067980484157445 Oh honey! Jeremiah took it all in stride, though. https://twitter.com/Jeremiah_Hall27/status/1486070630650896391 Gentry Williams All In Tulsa B.T.

With four teams remaining in the NFL playoffs, OU fans are guaranteed to have at least one former Sooner get a Super Bowl ring. We are down to Kansas City, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and San Francisco. Each team has at least one OU player on the roster. So who is it gonna be? A couple of running backs from Cincy? Or are two Chiefs going to get another ring, while two more get their first? Maybe some of our Sooner Cali boys? Vote below and then tell is what you think in the comments at the bottom! Cincinnati Bengals Joe…
In what should be a surprise to absolutely no one, it sure looks like the Williams family is headed out. According to Twitter user SoonerP1, Caleb’s dad, Carl, was seen over the weekend loading the family truckster, along with various goods, on a flatbed trailer. Did anyone see this coming? Turns out quite a lot of you — in our recent poll of nearly 90% of the Sooner Nation thought CW was most likely gone – and nearly half of you said there was no chance he’d be suiting up for OU next season. Looks pretty accurate. https://twitter.com/SoonerP1/status/1484958155218075649 What’s Next…
We know that Caleb Williams has entered the transfer portal to explore his options. Understandable, considering that his head coach that originally drew him to Norman last year, has bailed on him and his team. It’s also clear that the coaching changes that Oklahoma made with HC Venables, OC Lebby and others, hasn’t dissuaded him from at least testing the waters of free agency. And now, mere hours after his announcement, former UCLA née UCF QB Dillon Gabriel has announced his plans to transfer in, reuniting with Lebby, his former OC at Central Florida. So, a lot of moving parts!…
If you haven’t already heard the news, Caleb Williams announced Monday afternoon that he intends to enter the transfer portal, and that remaining at OU is still an option. Several current and former OU players weighed in on the news, with some teammates even offering predictions. Former players also chimed in, with notable input from another OU QB who transferred out. Trevor Knight, who played at OU through the 2015 season, before moving on to A&M tweeted this: https://twitter.com/trevor_knight9/status/1478136549476864000 In response to AD Castiglione and Coach Venables announcement, graduating Sooner Caleb Kelly dropped the following: https://twitter.com/calebkkelly/status/1478116464263454720 Incoming true freshman QB…
Caleb Williams has posted the following message on Twitter. Below is a copy of the text in its entirety, followed by the original tweet. Of note is that Williams mentions that staying at OU is an option. The University also released a statement on behalf of AD Castiglione and Coach Venables in response to Caleb’s announcement (at bottom). From @CALEBcsw: This season has been incredible. Words can’t describe the amount of love I have for my teammates, coaches and the Sooner Nation. The support everyone has shown me couldn’t be more appreciated, you guys are the best. As you all…
Hi there, and thank you for using SoonerApp. It is hard to believe that we are wrapping up the app’s 10th season covering OU football and news! This app is a labor of love for me. I write mobile apps for a living, and this is the one for-fun app I get to do. Luckily for me, I’m not the only who enjoys reading about our Sooner football. While I’d still be doing the app even if it were just me using it, having so many of you enjoy it with me makes it so much better! So, thank you…
The first commit of Brent Venables’ head coaching career hit early on Monday, and it was a big one. Nick Evers, the #4 ranked dual-threat QB in the country announced his commitment this morning with the tweet below. The 4-Star, 2022 pledge had visited OU over the weekend, and was previously committed to Florida. https://twitter.com/NickEvers12/status/1470369780569972736 https://twitter.com/NickEvers12/status/1470397099141443591 BV Wins the Mom Vote Later in the morning, Nick’s mother Monica, who also attended the OU campus visit along with Nick’s younger sister, made an interesting comment about Venables, and his impact not only with recruits and their parents, but with their entire…
Just when we thought we’d gotten all of our laughs from that bizarre press conference, pep rally, fever dream or whatever that was that USC put together at the Mecca of college football, another edit of it comes out that tops them all. Check out the video below where Jason Gallagher mashes up the clip with an SNL bit that actually, somehow, makes the USC pep rally more palatable. https://twitter.com/jga41agher/status/1468297411240280064 For reference, here is the unedited version that Mr Muleshoe’s new bosses thought perfectly aligned with their new hire. https://twitter.com/JoshMCallaway/status/1468075479936782338 17 Days Til Christmas
