In the opening take, recent comments from Grant Calcaterra and CeeDee Lamb has Lee excited about the OU defense. Then Grant joins to talk briefly about the Sooners practicing at night (5:50) before bringing up all the things we know about Tre Norwood (7:25). Grant gets a chance to comment on the earlier soundbites from Calcaterra and Lamb, plus is it a good thing that this new scheme is so simple (17:00)? Guess what? DaShaun White claims the OU defense will never go back to how it was a season ago (23:25). The latest on Jalen Redmond and what he's up to at practice (25:20). Alex Grinch explained at Media Day why he's confident in his scheme (27:50). DaShaun White said something about the defensive line that hopefully translates to actual games (32:05). Lee has a new policy when it comes to "Bookie", plus Radley-Hiles explains the most positive part about having many returners in the secondary (34:20). Remember when Robert Barnes got run over in the Orange Bowl? Well, he addressed that this week (37:40). Apparently Chanse Sylvie interned at Walmart for a few weeks this summer and he's got an interesting career goal in mind (40:40). Jalen Hurts has been putting in a lot of extra work so far early in camp. Lee asked CeeDee Lamb how much Hurts leans on veteran players for advice (42:20)? Hey Spencer Rattler is out in camp. Will he end up being the backup QB by the end of August (44:35)? Moving to the offensive line. We got a chance to talk with Adrian Ealy the other night and he's pretty pumped that Creed Humphrey is back practicing (48:05). Trey Sermon said one of his teammates reminds him of a pretty darn good former NFL running back (54:40). The guys haven't talked about the "White Out" for Week 1. Grant is pumped (1:00:05).

Lee brings the "Hot Take of the Week" segment to his opening take. Then Grant joins to give his thoughts on Mac Engel's recent column that asks us all to pump the brakes anointing Lincoln Riley as a genius (9:00). A recruit said Alex Grinch told him the Sooners' defense doesn't have one person who could go to the NFL right now. Lincoln Riley addressed that quote at Media Days. We discuss (19:25). What is a realistic improvement that we could actually see from OU's defense in 2019 (30:30)? Some smart college football people are not very high on Texas this season. Could the Longhorns actually 08:16a down year in 2019 (37:10)? Pat Fitzgerald had some thoughts on college football's declining attendance. Grant has some Big Ten attendance experience and at some point we talk about Minnesota football and the Golden Gophers' random rivals (55:15). Baker Mayfield went on a date the day before the Rose Bowl and then moved in with his current wife three days later. What (1:08:15)?!

In the opening take, Grant gives you the most important news out of Big 12 Football Media Days... just kidding. Nothing really happened in Arlington. Then Lee joins Grant from Jerry's World to talk about the most useful things we learned at media days (4:00). The Big 12 and national media didn't seem to know Jalen Hurts still has to win the OU quarterback job (7:20). Lee thought a player update was the most useful piece of info from the two days in Arlington (12:30). Sam Ehlinger and Tom Herman seemed to know exactly what to say about Baker Mayfield/Terry Bradshaw criticism and the "Horns Down" stuff is still not clear at all (15:30). We go over the preseason Big 12 Media Poll and give our picks (22:15). "Sports Illustrated" finally released their Top 100 players list and five Sooners made the cut. We don't have a whole lot of problems with the list, although the No. 3 ranked player makes both guys roll their eyes (37:30).
