  • Ep. 29 - After Another Big Win, the Sooners Come Up Roses
    In the opening take, Lee hones in on the Sooners' defensive efforts in their biggest games of the season -- and why that's useful now. Then Grant joins to talk about OU's dominating Big 12 Championship win. After that Grant disagrees with the Playoff Committee, Lee yells at everybody who's in charge of the Playoff in general, and we answer a listener question.

    2:00 Grant’s Big 12 Championship prediction was pretty much spot on
    4:15 Caleb Kelly and the Sooners “D” set the tone from the very beginning
    6:10 Lee liked what Mike Stoops said after the win over TCU
    9:20 OU’s defense pitched a shut out in the 2nd half even after TCU took a lot of momentum into the locker room
    10:45 we are starting to see the Sooners defense string together some stops
    13:10 Grant was impressed with OU’s ability to step on TCU’s throat after the Frogs had gotten back in the game
    14:40 why didn’t TCU run any Wildcat?
    17:00 Lee thought it was a weird offensive game for the Sooners
    21:40 a defense can scheme the Sooners perfectly - and still it still might not matter.
    22:40 Lincoln Riley is an amazing play caller
    25:30 OU and Georgia have some bizarre recent history together
    27:30 TCU rushed 3 and dropped 8 once in the game — and it didn’t work.
    29:50 Saturday was further proof that OU’s offense can beat you in so many different ways
    ***32:20 the Playoff is set and Grant doesn’t think the committee got it right.
    35:25 do you put more weight in quality wins, or number of losses?
    37:15 Lee thinks Ohio State would have gotten into the Playoff if the Buckeyes would have smoked Wisconsin
    43:00 Lee is super annoyed by “the Playoff is perfect at 4 teams” guy
    47:00 the FCS Playoffs is off and running and we’ve already seen multiple upsets
    48:20 Lee is pissed with those who are in charge of the Playoff because they’re more interested in keeping things the same as opposed to making college football better
    52:15 the guys answer a listener question about a hypothetical Playoff scenario involving OU and Alabama
    55:30 the guys provide their initial thoughts on the OU-UGA Rose Bowl
    1:00 Grant thinks Clemson is the worst team in the Playoff

  • Ep. 27 - The Most Dominating Offensive Performance in OU History
    After seeing Baker Mayfield's last home game in person, Lee provides his biggest takeaway from OU's win in the opening take. Then Grant joins in to discuss the best offensive performance in Sooners history. OU's defense still isn't great, plus the guys talk a little about what happened around college football this past weekend.
    Email the show: [email protected]
    3:00 OU’s offense was magnificent against West Virginia
    4:00 Kyler Murray’s long opening run
    6:10 The Sooners scored on their first 9 offensive possessions
    6:40 a patented Baker Mayfield performance that led WVU’s defensive coordinator to say he should be fired
    9:10 OU’s offensive line really stood out on film
    10:40 Rodney Anderson has another huge game
    13:10 CeeDee Lamb has some veteran awareness
    14:30 Grant is hoping that OU makes the playoff so the national stage can see how good the Sooners’ running game is and Lee lays out his OU dream scenario
    18:40 Dru Samia was not a happy man in the 2nd quarter of that game. Was the ejection warranted?
    24:00 Austin Seibert kicks a long FG and the Sooners bench acted like the game was just won
    27:00 OU’s defense still needs to improve. Not breaking any news here.
    30:00 it sure looked a lot like WVU tried to mimic what K-State did to OU’s defense earlier in the year
    33:40 “Film Study w/Lee” as he breaks down OU’s glaring mistakes on a 3rd and 11 play in the 1st half
    40:45 it’s bizarre that sometimes on 3rd and long the Sooners drop Obo into coverage as opposed to rushing the passer
    43:00 will OU fans outnumber TCU fans at the Big 12 Championship?
    44:00 does OU look like a team poised to win a National Championship?
    47:40 it was crazy week in college football
    49:10 Pitt beats Miami and it wasn’t all that surprising
    50:45 is Alabama a lock for the Playoff? If so, shouldn’t OU be a lock because each team has the same record the only difference is that Bama doesn’t have a chance to lose a second game this weekend.
    55:30 this upcoming weekend would be just as exciting and meaningful if more teams could make the playoff. Don’t let anybody tell you something different
    59:10 Grant predicts the committee’s upcoming Tuesday playoff rankings
