  • Ep. 37 - Will Mike Stoops Make Some Plays in 2018?
    In the opening take, Lee lays out why he thinks it's clear Mike Stoops will be returning to run the OU defense once again in 2018. Then Grant joins in to discuss Joe Castiglione getting a shot at the CFP Committee. Next, guys take a look at the Sooners' defensive numbers since 1999, talk about OU's new S&C coach, and go over a thoughtful listener email. Plus, we touch on OU basketball for the first time on the show.

  • Ep. 35 - Gut Punch in Pasadena
    In the opening take, Lee explains the importance of trusting yourself. Then, Grant joins to tell us all what it was like to be at the Rose Bowl Game. We know you may not want to talk about this game, but we think this podcast can provide clarity and hopefully be a little therapeutic. That was an amazing first half, huh? Who's to blame for the loss? What's up with the squib kick? Didn't we expect the defense to play poorly? How awesome was Steven Parker's scoop 'n score?
    What was up with some of those late game play calls on offense? So many questions, so little time.

    6:50 Grant was at the Rose Bowl and he provides his initial thoughts on the atmosphere which was very pro-Georgia
    10:00 who deserves the blame for the OU loss?
    14:30 In the 2nd half, Georgia gained the vast majority of their rush yards on just two plays, which is super frustrating to Lee
    17:00 this is what OU’s defense has been all year
    18:00 Grant describes what the squib kick looked like in person
    22:20 Riley clearly called the squib kick because the previous OU kickoff almost was broken for a huge play
    26:00 are we beating up on the squib kick so much only because hindsight is 20/20?
    27:40 looking back on OU’s dominant first half offensive performance
    29:00 Grant explains the satisfaction of seeing all the stunned Georgia fans around him in the crowd
    32:00 it was great seeing Georgia’s defense look off balanced and unsure of itself when OU was moving the ball at will
    36:00 Grant hasn’t mustered up enough strength to rewatch the 2nd half
    37:10 what happened in that horrifying 3rd quarter?
    41:00 OU’s tempo offense was mostly nonexistent after halftime
    44:00 the Sooners have blown big leads before
    46:00 OU went back to tempo on its one offensive TD drive of the 2nd half
    48:45 seriously how awesome was that Steven Parker scoop 'n score?
    51:00 OU had the football with 5 mins to play with a 7-point lead
    56:00 Lee just doesn’t understand the play concept and design of the 3rd-and-3 option play to Rodney Anderson
    1:02:00 OU needed 40 yards in :55 seconds in order to give Austin Seibert a chance at a GW FG
    1:05:20 Baker Mayfield’s accuracy was just off in the Rose Bowl Game
    1:06:35 OU’s defense did a great job forcing a FG in the first OT, which gave the Sooners’ offense another chance to go win the game
    1:07:45 we get why OU ran the jet sweep to Jordan Smallwood... but still
    1:09:00 we hated to see OU kick the FG on 4th-and-1 in the first OT
    1:14:45 Lee once again does not understand the concept and design of OU’s option play using Mayfield and Kyler Murray
    1:17:00 reliving this game is starting to frustrate Grant and he was very discouraged by Kenneth Murray’s performance
    1:20:30 OU doesn’t help itself by playing super soft coverage when the Sooners dial up nice blitzes
    1:24:00 OU’s defensive numbers are completely unacceptable for this program. A Top 25 defense would have allowed this OU team to blow everybody out of the water
    1:26:00 Grant tries to make everybody feel better about the Rose Bowl
    1:30:00 Lee hated the game. No it was not a great game because of the way it played out for those who like OU
    1:33:35 Lee goes on one final rant about why college football’s postseason is trash
    1:38:30 the guys were terrible at picking bowl games this season
    1:39:10 the guys begrudgingly pick a winner between Alabama and Georgia

    18:00 Grant describes what the squib kick looked like in person
    22:20 Riley clearly called the squib kick because the previous OU kickoff almost was broken for a huge play
    26:00 are we beating up on the squib kick so much only because hindsight is 20/20?
    27:40 looking back on OU’s dominant first half offensive performance
    29:00 Grant explains the satisfaction of seeing all the stunned Georgia fans around him in the crowd
    32:00 it was great seeing Georgia’s defense look off balanced and unsure of itself when OU was moving the ball at will
    36:00 Grant hasn’t mustered up enough strength to rewatch the 2nd half
    37:10 what happened in that horrifying 3rd quarter?
    41:00 OU’s tempo offense was mostly nonexistent after halftime
    44:00 the Sooners have blown big leads before
    46:00 OU went back to tempo on its one offensive TD drive of the 2nd half
    48:45 seriously how awesome was that Steven Parker scoop 'n score?
    51:00 OU had the football with 5 mins to play with a 7-point lead
    56:00 Lee just doesn’t understand the play concept and design of the 3rd-and-3 option play to Rodney Anderson
    1:02:00 OU needed 40 yards in :55 seconds in order to give Austin Seibert a chance at a GW FG
    1:05:20 Baker Mayfield’s accuracy was just off in the Rose Bowl Game
    1:06:35 OU’s defense did a great job forcing a FG in the first OT, which gave the Sooners’ offense another chance to go win the game
    1:07:45 we get why OU ran the jet sweep to Jordan Smallwood... but still
    1:09:00 we hated to see OU kick the FG on 4th-and-1 in the first OT
    1:14:45 Lee once again does not understand the concept and design of OU’s option play using Mayfield and Kyler Murray
    1:17:00 reliving this game is starting to frustrate Grant and he was very discouraged by Kenneth Murray’s performance
    1:20:30 OU doesn’t help itself by playing super soft coverage when the Sooners dial up nice blitzes
    1:24:00 OU’s defensive numbers are completely unacceptable for this program. A Top 25 defense would have allowed this OU team to blow everybody out of the water
    1:26:00 Grant tries to make everybody feel better about the Rose Bowl
    1:30:00 Lee hated the game. No it was not a great game because of the way it played out for those who like OU
    1:33:35 Lee goes on one final rant about why college football’s postseason is trash
    1:38:30 the guys were terrible at picking bowl games this season
    1:39:10 the guys begrudgingly pick a winner between Alabama and Georgia
