Foxx Den Sports

Oklahoma and Alabama meet again — this time with everything on the line.

In this 200th episode of the Foxx Den Sports Podcast, Todd “The Podfather” Foxx and crew break down the College Football Playoff rematch between Oklahoma and Alabama, live from Norman. Can the Sooners’ elite defense control the moments again? Can the offense do just enough? And how much does home-field advantage matter in a win-or-go-home playoff game?

We dive into:

• Why OU beat Alabama the first time

• Defense vs offense: what actually wins playoff games

• Turnover margin myths and realities

• Alabama’s offensive struggles since the first matchup

• X-factors, coaching pressure, and CFP narratives

• Final score predictions and playoff outlook

Plus, we celebrate Episode 200, reflect on the growth of the Foxx Den, and wrap with classic off-the-rails debate and fun segments.

The college football playoff field is finally SET — and the Foxx Den Sports Podcast crew has thoughts. 👀

In this episode, Todd “The Podfather” Foxx, Kellen, Garrett, and Clay break down the full 12-team bracket: Indiana at #1, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas Tech in the top four, plus first-round matchups like Alabama at Oklahoma, Miami at Texas A&M, Tulane at Ole Miss, and James Madison at Oregon.

We debate:

• Did the CFP committee actually get it right this time?

• Should Notre Dame have made the field over teams like Tulane and James Madison?

• Is this the most wide-open playoff we’ve seen, or are there really only three true contenders?

• Are Indiana and Texas Tech overrated? Is Oklahoma the most underrated team in the bracket?

• Should the Group of 5 have automatic bids, or should it just be the 12–16 best teams?

• Do we need two separate championships (Power 4 vs Group of 5) like FBS/FCS?

• What do we do with conference championship games, bowl opt-outs, and future expansion (14 or 16 teams)?

We also hit on:

• OU’s chances in an Alabama rematch and whether the Sooners’ elite defense and special teams can carry them

• Why Notre Dame needs to join a conference (or be left out)

• The future of bowl games, opt-outs, and how college football might look in 5–10 years

• A fun lightning round on dream jobs (Thunder GM, OU head coach, FBI/CIA, team photographer, and more)

If you love OU Football, SEC talk, college football playoff debates, and a little bit of chaos, you’re in the right place. 🏈

With insights from Kellen, Todd, and Clay, we analyze key moments, turnovers, and the unsung heroes of the game. Will the Sooners host a playoff game? Tune in to find out!

No. 8 Oklahoma just beat No. 23 Missouri 17–6 in Norman, riding one of the nation’s top defenses and a very up-and-down offense — and now LSU comes to town with the College Football Playoff on the line.

In this episode of the Foxx Den Sports Podcast, Todd “The Podfather” Foxx is joined by all four Foxx kids — Kellen, Garrett, Gannon, and Callie — for a full Sooners roundtable and Thanksgiving hangout.

We break down:

• OU 17–6 Missouri: blocked field goal swing, 87-yard bomb, Reggie Powers’ targeting, and Jacobe Johnson’s huge pick

• John Mateer’s stat line vs Mizzou and what it says (or doesn’t) about OU’s offensive identity

• Is OC Ben Arbuckle in over his head… or is Venables handcuffing the offense because he trusts the defense?

• The big debate: in 2025, would you rather have an ELITE defense with a mid offense… or an ELITE offense with an average defense?

• Why LSU @ Oklahoma (Nov. 29 on ABC) feels like a true win-or-go-home playoff game for the SoonersESPN.com+1

• What scares us more about LSU: their talent or their desperation?

• Score predictions for OU vs LSU and whether Oklahoma is actually playing its best football right now

Then we shift into Thanksgiving mode:

• Mount Rushmore of Thanksgiving foods (no desserts allowed)

• Best Thanksgiving desserts draft

• The one topic you should NEVER bring up at Thanksgiving dinner

• Absolutely unbiased and not at all controversial “favorite child” power rankings in the Foxx family

If you’re an Oklahoma fan, SEC sicko, or just here for family chaos, this one is for you.

Oklahoma walked into Tuscaloosa and walked out with a culture-defining Brent Venables era win over the Alabama Crimson Tide — and the Foxx Den Sports Podcast is here for the full breakdown.

In this episode, Todd “The Podfather” Foxx, Kellen “the Dog,” and Garrett “Money Man” Foxx react to a gritty, defensive slugfest that pushed the Sooners firmly into the College Football Playoff conversation. We dive into:

• How OU’s defense and special teams carried the day against Alabama

• The Eli Bowen pick-six, Kip Lewis’ huge plays, and Peyton Bowen’s clutch breakup

• Why Oklahoma’s defense is even better than last year

• Concerns about the offense, play-calling, penalties, and O-line

• OU’s kicker staying automatic in hostile SEC environments

• Why zero turnovers and field position were the real MVPs

Then we flip it forward with a full OU vs Missouri preview in Norman:

• Mizzou’s QB situation and turnover problems

• How OU’s defense matches up with their run game

• Whether this will be Missouri’s toughest defense of the season

• Score predictions, playoff stakes, and why the Sooners have no excuse to stumble in Red November

We wrap with some classic Foxx Den fun:

• “Worst part about being an adult?”

• “Greatest fast food item of all time?” (Taco Bueno vs Taco Casa, Cane’s sauce, Five Guys, Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit and more)

If you’re a fan of Oklahoma Sooners football, SEC chaos, college football playoff debates, and family-style sports banter, you’re in the right place.

Boomer! The Foxx Den Sports Podcast breaks down No. 11 Oklahoma at No. 4 Alabama in a classic SEC slugfest at Bryant-Denny (Saturday, 2:30 PM CT, ABC). We cover why Brent Venables’ elite OU defense (14.1 ppg, top-7 nationally in yards allowed) matches up with the Tide’s high-powered offense, plus OU’s offensive inconsistencies, penalties, third-down issues, and time-of-possession goals. We debate X-factors (Xavier Robinson, Taylor Wine, Our Mason Thomas), how OU can limit Ryan Williams, whether the Sooners can hold Bama under 24, and if John Mateer can deliver on the road. Then we run our “Keep It or Cut It” segment (spread, sacks, rushing YPC) and give final score predictions. Bonus: quick OKC Thunder start, NFL surprises, and fantasy football pain. Comment your pick: OU or Bama?

Boomer! The Foxx Den Sports crew (Podfather Todd, Kellen, Garrett, and Clay “Banche” McDonald) break down Oklahoma’s 33–27 win over Tennessee in Knoxville. We cover how OU walked out of Neyland at 7–2: 13 points off three Vols turnovers, R Mason Thomas’ massive scoop-and-score, Tate Sandell drilling two 55-yarders (stadium history!), and a second-half identity that felt very Venables. We grade John Mateer (first half vs second half), debate the Xavier Robinson/Blaylock RB rotation, shout out Kip Lewis and Owen Heinecke, rant about 11 penalties/100+ yards, and talk OU’s CFP chances with the first Top-12 reveal looming.
