  • Ep. 191 - Caleb Williams, Defense, Stand Out in Spring Finale
    In the opening take, Lee tells you why Caleb Williams was impressive during OU's spring game. Then Grant joins to talk about going to the spring game and seeing the stadium for the first time since 2012 (2:55). Then Grant gives his take on Caleb Williams, plus Spencer Rattler was not sharp (7:10). Lee names the offensive players who stood out to him Saturday beginning with Eric Gray's first appearance in an OU uniform (17:00). Mario Williams got a lot of targets Saturday and Jadon Haselwood made the catch of the day (21:45). It would seem Andrew Raym is the top center for the Sooners heading into the summer (27:00). Switching over to the defense as Lee talks about being down on the field seeing some of the new players in person, including Billy Bowman (35:00). Grant loves DJ Graham and he's got a super hot take about Graham's future (38:30). Clayton Smith looked awesome close up and Lee's incredibly excited to see how the Sooners use him this fall (41:45). Let's talk about Caleb Kelly. He looks to be in great shape and it would be super cool if he stays healthy in 2021 (46:20). Grant wants to talk more in depth about the secondary group touching on Josh Eaton, Key Lawrence, Justin Harrington, and more (50:00). We talk about all the players who did not play. Lee was most disappointed to not see Jalen Redmond out there (58:00). There's always random players who stand out in the spring game who never do anything ever again (1:01:45). Wanya Morris started at LT for the first team offense Kennedy Brooks didn't do a lot, and OU gets Arkansas transfer Mike Woods. Good to see Austin Stogner active, plus can any of these 2019 5-star WRs catch a break (1:02:55)? Wrapping up the spring game and looking ahead to the summer and the fall, plus the NFL Draft is this week, and Orlando Brown gets traded to the Chiefs (1:11:10).

  • Ep. 190 - Suspended Players Precede OU's Spring Game
    In the opening take, Lee hits on Trejan Bridges and Seth McGowan being suspended and how we'll handle that situation moving forward. Then Grant joins to discuss a potential Justin Broiles resurgence (4:00)? The last OU DB to be drafted in the First Round was Andre Woolfolk in 2003. Has Brent Venables produced a lot of First Round DBs at Clemson (13:30)? Grant gives his thoughts on the Bridges/McGowan situation. Lee also looks back at the Will Sunderland situation from 2017 to get an idea of a possible timeline for this current matter (19:05). We move on to more unserious issues as Lee goes over the things that have stood out to him in the last week, beginning with Lincoln Riley and Spencer Rattler (33:20). Moving on, Marvin Mims is playing in the slot, Mikey Henderson is looking good, Rattler said an interesting thing about Eric Gray, and Lee thinks it's weird that Caleb Williams and Billy Bowman are still taking high school courses (44:30). Defensively, Calvin Thibodeaux told us that Josh Ellison has been running with the 1's this spring, Isaiah Coe sounds like he's super strong, and is D-Line depth going to be insane this year (56:05)? When you watch football on TV, what are you watching specifically on each snap? And we talk about Quentin Griffin (1:06:00). We move on to Saturday's spring game. The guys go over each position group/players they're most interested to watch this Saturday (1:09:10). Which position group/player would you be most disappointed in, if they don't play very well this weekend (1:20:35)? Bold prediction time: Which random player or position group is going to surprise us this Saturday (1:24:15)? This is stupid, so we make the dumb joke about what's actually going to happen on Saturday (1:29:00). Stick around for some random NFL Draft talk. Is all the pre-Draft talk boring this year? Also we revisit the QBs from the 2018 class (1:32:00). Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

  • Ep. 189 - The Eric Gray Hype Train Takes Off
    No opening take today, so the guys immediately jump into the things that have happened around OU football that's caught our attention since the last episode. First up: the hype train for Eric Gray has left the station, just listen to DeMarco Murray (2:15). Lee criticizes Eric Gray's former offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, which Grant jumps in to defend Chaney's old Georgia offense (13:05). DeMarco Murray said Eric Gray and Mikey Henderson are the best pass catching running backs this spring (17:20). Jadon Haselwood and the wide receivers are quite aware that they dropped a lot of touchdowns in 2020. Also Trejan Bridges loves practice now (23:00). The wide receiver room looks a little different in 2021, and would you take the 2019 OU offense or the 2020 OU offense (33:35)? After the 5-star WR trio had mostly limited roles in 2019, will incoming freshman 5-star WR Mario Williams actually flash and contribute more than any of those players from the 2019 class (36:50)? Grant brings up Wanya Morris, and also what's the deal with Austin Stogner (42:40)? Brian Odom recently went down the list of every player in his linebacker room. Should we read into the order in which he listed the players (47:35)? Should we be getting ready for the Shane Whitter breakout year (54:40)? Okay this freshman class has been talked up so much that Lee wonders if these are the best football players who have ever played football (59:30)? Roy Manning let us know that Woodi Washington has been limited this spring and has not practiced much. Plus Nik Bonitto loves football more than you do. Probably (1:07:50). Lee provides a brief update on his OU DB 2020 rewatch (1:15:20). Finally, Grant's got an outside the box take on OU hiring Porter Moser (1:21:00).
