Back-to-Back losses seem to have Oklahoma's season spiraling out of control. The Sooners haven't "crashed and burned" yet, in terms of the Big 12 championship, but there's no room for error and they're going to need some help.
Let's take a look at that, and then share some thoughts on the Bedlam loss.

The Sooners and Longhorns are less than two days away from their annual faceoff at the Cotton Bowl. This may be the last time they face each other as Big 12 foes, but it's the first time in a long time that their rivalry has had significance on the national stage. In this podcast episode we'll explore what I believe are the top four factors that will determine the outcome of the game.
Obviously there are more than four here, and we...

It's the final weekend before OU/Texas! It's the final Big 12 home opener for Oklahoma! It's the Sooners and Cyclones! That's the best that I can do to hype up Saturday's game. However, if you are like me and a person who nerds out numbers, trends, and other intangibles then this might be a fun episode for you. If you're not then....eh, it could still be fun.

It's hard to be critical of a football team that's 4-0 but, leave it up to us and we'll find a way. This 2023 version of the Oklahoma Sooners is superior to what we saw in 2022, and I believe it's time to buy into the hype. However, it isn't a prefect team. There's certainly some things to be critical of, and I believe we're missing them and focusing our frustration on the wrong things.
Let's talk about it!

Oklahoma moved to 3-0 on Saturday with a 66-17 thrashing of Tulsa. There's very little to criticize about this team right now but I do have a handful of concerns. I'm refusing to be concerned about the running backs though, I'm just giving up on trying to figure it all out.

This has been a week of distractions for Sooner Nation. First it was Art Briles and then it was Lincoln Riley. I really didn't want to talk about either but I gave my two cents on Briles in the last podcast, so I had to give my two cents on Riley in this episode. After that, we've got a game to breakdown!
Oklahoma plays at Tulsa on Saturday and we're here for the preview. Let's do it!

Oklahoma's 28-11 win over SMU on Saturday night became the sub-story to former Baylor head coach Art Briles being on the field talking with Jeff Lebby afterwards. I have some thoughts on that, which I reluctantly shared, and then we dive full into the postgame thoughts of the Sooners and Mustangs.

We're getting ready to close the door to the Arkansas State game and start looking towards SMU, but we had to talk about some things we learned about the Sooners first. The opener showed us a lot about what a roster transition can do for a team and how much they've bought in on the new mindset that Brent Venables is bringing to the program. There's more that we learned, though!
Check it out and let us know your thought!
