This week’s episode of Pryor to the Snap is everything the listeners love — a can’t-miss mailbag edition packed with six live phone calls, a flood of text messages, and nonstop high-level conversation across sports.
Shaun, Kassie and Joe field questions that span the landscape of college football, pro wrestling, and women’s basketball, starting with listener curiosity around Sherrone Moore and the situation at Michigan, and the ever-heated debate on whether the University of Oklahoma is the most overrated team in the College Football Playoff field.
Joe jumps into the mix with firsthand insight, sharing his experience playing football in brutal Oklahoma weather, breaking down how snow, wind, and cold impact preparation, footing, and toughness at the high school and college levels. The conversation naturally shifts into Oklahoma football, including a fascinating throwback debate: Could the wishbone offense actually work in today’s game? Joe and Shaun dig into scheme, discipline, modern defenses, and whether old-school football still has a place in the spread era.
The mailbag goes deep with a high-level question on Josh Heupel, the former Oklahoma quarterback, with Joe examining his time in Norman, his development as a player and leader, and how those experiences shaped the coach he’s become today.
On the pro wrestling side, Shaun answers a listener question about why John Cena lost his retirement match, drawing from his role as a color commentator for WFC Prime in Oklahoma and his lifelong love of wrestling dating back to the Mid-South days of the 1980s with his grandparents. He explains kayfabe, why legends often choose to go out giving the rub instead of going out on top, and the real reason Gunther’s win — and the heat that followed — mattered so much.
The show also tackles real-world concerns, including a message from a worried mom about kids playing football in the snow, player safety, and how youth football conditions compare to NFL players competing in extreme weather. Kassie brings it home with strong insight into women’s basketball, answering questions about Audi Crooks, Alissa Pili, and the broader WNBA and college hoops landscape.
This episode is stacked, thoughtful, and wildly entertaining — a true Pryor to the Snap mailbag special that delivers depth, debate, and personality from start to finish.
