  • Ep. 13 - In Defense of Jordan Thomas...
    Lee's opening take reminds everybody that things aren't always as they seem. Then Grant joins in for a deep dive into OU's stunning loss at home to Iowa State. Jordan Thomas wasn't as bad as everybody is saying, and Grant has all the words that will keep Sooners fans from losing hope.
    2:15 Grant wants to burn the all red jerseys
    3:30 Grant thinks this was the worst defensive performance he’s seen from an OU team since he’s been watching Sooners football. Lee disagrees.
    4:25 Lee thinks ISU’s offense was actually pretty creative on Saturday, but that shouldn’t be an excuse.
    6:20 Grant doesn’t think ISU’s offense didn’t do anything special
    8:50 Lee points out that ISU seemed to call the perfect plays at the perfect times
    9:50 Grant would have liked to see OU bring more pressure throughout the game. The Cyclones were playing a 3rd string QB.
    12:20 it was weird how this game played out considering OU dominated the 1st quarter
    14:20 we’ve become used to these unexpected losses by OU
    16:00 Lee provides his overall take on the Sooners defense up to this point in the season
    18:30 Grant doesn’t know how good OU’s front 4 can be because opposing QBs consistently call quick passes
    19:40 Grant thinks Saturday was the worst game Jordan Thomas has played in his career
    20:50 Lee explains that upon rewatching the film, Jordan Thomas was not nearly as bad Saturday as the public would like you to think. He had a worse game against Baylor.
    22:25 Lazard catches a pass on 3rd and 14 for a 1st down. That was more “good ISU” as opposed to “bad JT”
    25:50 Lee says it’s easy to watch a game and assume one thing — but in order to really assess blame for certain problems you have to understand the assignments of each and every player on the field
    27:00 We discuss the awful PI call against JT in the 3rd quarter
    29:30 Grant refuses to believe that OU was simply outplayed by the Cyclones 3rd string QB
    31:50 Lee breaks down what happened on ISU’s eventual game winning TD pass
    34:30 Lee gives his final thoughts on JT’s performance against Iowa State
    36:50 Iowa State barely looked Parnell Motley’s way
    38:00 Lee doesn’t understand the OU corner’s alignment when the Sooners are playing zone coverage. Poor technique led to that long ISU TD that gave the Cyclones a 31-24
    42:00 Grant says Kenneth Murray’s late game personal foul was an incredibly stupid penalty
    45:05 Obo had a ridiculous piling on penalty as well
    46:20 Grant explains when he knew OU was going to lose. Hint: it involves special teams.
    47:00 Grant’s rules for attempting field goals in college football
    49:30 the OU offense played well, and ISU’s defense actually played pretty well.
    52:30 don’t use this single game as evidence as to what will happen the rest of the season
    53:50 Lee revisits the Seibert FG attempt and what Lincoln Riley was thinking at that moment
    55:40 for the first time ever Lee questioned Riley’s offensive genius after watching the final offensive play from OU
    57:30 Grant’s thoughts on OU’s final offensive play
    58:40 Mykel Jones was wide open on that final Sooners play
    1:01:00 Grant provides his final thoughts on why he’s still optimistic for this OU football season

  • Ep. 12 - Is OU Properly Prepared for Park?
    In the opening take, Grant explains why he is happy to see the month of October arrive. Then Lee joins in to talk about the mismatch between OU's offense and ISU's defense, Jacob Park's talent (or lack thereof), and Lee is annoyed that people are critiquing Baker Mayfield's antics. Plus the guys unveil their latest Top 10, explain why Penn State is a fraud, and Grant has a shocking take on Clemson.
    4:45 Will OU be more prepared for Iowa State than any other game so far this season?
    7:00 OU’s offense vs the Iowa State defense looks like a complete mismatch
    9:00 Lee feels bad for ISU’s defense in last week’s game against Texas
    9:35 Grant looks back at how the OU offense looked last season when the Sooners played ISU in Ames
    11:25 going through the numbers to show why OU’s offense should have little trouble against ISU
    13:25 ISU allowed Iowa’s limited quarterback to shred the Cyclones through the air
    16:10 The way ISU defended Texas last week is not going to work against OU
    17:15 are we going to get a healthy dose of Adams and Sermon this weekend?
    21:30 will a pass catcher outside of Lamb, Andrews, Badet, or Brown emerge as a threat against Iowa State?
    22:40 We make some outside the box predictions for the Sooners offense against ISU
    24:00 Lee thinks Grant Calcaterra will have a big game because of how he spent the bye week
    25:25 ISU’s QB last season now plays middle linebacker
    26:00 apparently Baker Mayfield has some critics and Lee can’t believe Mayfield’s attitude and antics is a story at all. It’s really dumb.
    30:40 How good is Iowa State QB Jacob Park?
    31:35 Park killed the Cyclones last week against Texas
    33:30 Grant goes over what Park did against the Sooners last season
    34:30 unfortunately, Park has a chance to be good against the Sooners because of the way OU plays defense
    37:05 Grant compares Park to a former Big 12 QB
    38:25 If OU wants to be a National Championship contender, the Sooners defense must be able to slow down an offense like ISU’s. Make Park be perfect.
    39:50 discussing the impact of Amani Bledsoe’s return
