October 30, 2017 Ep. 19 - The Sooners Still Control Their Own Destiny

6:10 What was up with OU’s defensive game plan at the beginning?

October 26, 2017 Ep. 18 - Hopefully We Don't Give Up 900 Yards
In the opening take, Grant reminds us all that the most difficult thing about being a fan -- is being honest about your favorite team. Then Lee joins in to reminisce about the "Jump Around" game from 2008, talk about Baker Mayfield not practicing last week, and we do our best to get you all ready for the Sooners and Red Raiders on Saturday.
3:15 looking back on the “Jump Around” game from 2008. You have no soul if you don’t get goosebumps just thinking about that night.
7:15 I wonder if OU will show up this Saturday? I mean, we have no idea what to expect from this team.
9:35 Does gaining experience in close games actually help a team?
11:20 Baker Mayfield wasn’t healthy against K-State and didn’t even practice last week. What a baller.
12:45 Grant thinks this is the most inconsistent OU team he’s ever seen.
13:30 Lee is frustrated because the Sooners have the best offense in the nation by far — yet the OU defense renders that offense irrelevant sometimes.
16:15 Abdul Adams was available to play last week
16:55 OU needs to get 3 stops per half on defense
17:10 Previewing OU-Tech by looking back at last week’s TT-Iowa State game. Can the Sooners figure out how to slow down the Red Raiders like ISU did?
29:30 looking back at last year’s OU-Tech game in Lubbock AKA the worst football game ever
32:25 What’s going to happen Saturday night at Owen Field?
34:10 taking a look at the Big 12 slate this week
36:40 The guys unveil their latest Top 10 rankings

October 23, 2017 Ep. 17 - Time to Scrap the Wildcat
Lee has some sobering observations about the OU football team in the opening take. Then Grant joins to try and figure out what we saw in Manhattan Saturday.
3:45 Grant is tired of these close games
5:20 Mike Stoops said it seemed like trying to stop Kansas State was like trying to stop a Wing-T offense. Lee is alarmed that OU was not prepared to stop K-State’s 1-dimensional offense
8:20 it looked like OU’s defense was reacting to Kansas State’s offense as opposed to utilizing an aggressive approach. The Sooners looked completely different after halftime.
10:00 Grant provides his take on what he saw from the defense in the first half
12:15 talking about Wildcat adult entertainment
14:10 KSU’s ability to stay away from long yardage situations always created doubt in the minds of OU’s defenders
15:35 Grant’s solution to stopping K-State’s offense
16:45 Mother Nature was the real MVP Saturday
17:25 Watching Alex Delton throw was difficult — yet he was successful. K-State always seems to produce effective QBs who can’t really throw.
19:55 Defensive positives? Yes we have them!
21:50 Grant makes the argument that this Sooners team looks a lot like last year’s version — and that could be a good thing.
23:05 Lee was right there for Jordan Thomas’s first interception of the season
23:45 The offense played really well and Mayfield was fantastic yet again.
25:30 What was up with all the stoppages in play? That was ridiculous.
26:25 Grant never wants to the Wildcat formation again.
27:00 discussing those bizarre sequences when Mayfield was not in the game and OU ran the Wildcat. Is Mayfield healthy?
28:15 Lincoln Riley’s comments after the game in regards to Mayfield and running the Wildcat
32:45 K-State left Mayfield completely uncovered during a couple of Wildcat formations. Why not throw it to him?
33:40 Grant is fed up with your Wildcat excuses.
34:10 if something was wrong with Mayfield, why were they running him for touchdowns in the 2nd half?
35:00 Grant is disappointed that Mayfield’s interception had to be included on the stat sheet
35:40 this was a Rodney Anderson game
39:35 that was Marquise Brown’s best game as a Sooner
40:40 Austin Seibert — GREAT JOB AGAIN
42:40 discussing that weird flea flicker penalty for intentional grounding
43:20 Grant puts a bow on where the Sooners offense is right now
46:10 the schedule gets tougher for OU — and that’s a bummer
48:35 OU knows it has to win out in order to reach the Playoff, which I guess is a positive because the Sooners were successful in a similar situation last season.
