In the opening take, Grant provides his early thoughts on OU's 2021 schedule. Then Lee joins the fold as the guys briefly talk about how Allen Patrick was super underrated when he played for the Sooners (4:10). The Big 12's schedule release told us that they don't think covid will be much of an impact in 2021, plus what will stadiums look like next year (9:00)? The Sooners play 9 games in a row to start the season and Lee goes back many years to see if this has happened before (19:30). What's OU's toughest game? Also, will Nebraska be any good and is Scott Frost a good coach (25:55)? There looks to be a pretty obvious trap game on the schedule, but Grant thinks there's also another game that is not as obvious (36:50). Bookie is still in the transfer portal. Does this mean he'll be back with OU in 2021 (41:50)? Lee gives us an update on his Bookie rewatch. He's got thoughts on the full 2018 season and 6 games of 2019. The beginning of the 2019 season has been pleasantly surprising, although there's one consistent shortcoming (47:00). For those of you who are interested in football video games and specifically NCAA Football and Madden/NFL2K this is the part of the show for you (1:01:15). We check for comments from social media and also mention that bar fight involving Spencer Jones (1:24:50). Finally we do a little OU basketball talk because Grant reminds us that he predicted in November the Sooners would be pretty good this year. And yes we talked about this before OU lost to K-State Tuesday night (1:28:50). Lee forgot to mention something during the Bookie rewatch talk. We go over some notable PFF grades from the 2018 season (1:34:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee talks about a project he's working on that involves Bookie and reminds us all about how bad the 2018 OU defense was. Then Grant joins to talk more about the terrible 2018 Sooners' defense (5:30). We move on to specifically talk about Bookie entering the transfer portal. We go back to the beginning when the hype was as high as ever -- and even some of the OU coaches were saying that he was really good before he ever took a snap (16:15). Did OU's coaching staff fail Bookie by not playing him at corner? When Alex Grinch came in, did Bookie ever get a look at corner? If Bookie transfers to a team that lets him play corner and he does well, that will be an indictment on Mike Stoops and Alex Grinch (22:20). Lee says it's perfectly okay to criticize college kids as long as you're being fair and have the evidence to back it up. We talk about Bookie being a great teammate, plus Lee has found an interesting stat regarding Bookie's 2018 season so far. Also, Bookie didn't really play nickel right away at OU, he was playing free safety (31:40). Lee noticed so far through his rewatch that Bookie missed out on a lot of chances at potential big plays in 2018 (38:45). Caleb Kelly is a 5-star player who didn't live up to potential. Why does he not get as much criticism as Bookie (52:40)? Eric Gray is officially with the Sooners and he could be OU's best running back this fall (56:35). OU is very high in the 2021 preseason SP+ rankings, which Grant loves (1:02:25). The defensive line should be fantastic in 2021, plus a listener wants us to provide an update on what we should be able to expect from Jalen Redmond(1:12:30)? Grant wants to clarify some NFL comments he made a couple of weeks ago that relate to Sunday's Super Bowl. Plus Grant does what every single sports show has done this week and praises Tom Brady. Lee tries to take another angle on Brady because he's bored by all the Brady GOAT talk (1:17:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
