West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

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).

In the opening take, Lee is annoyed that only 2 quarterbacks will be in attendance at Big 12 Football Media Days next week. Then Grant joins to discuss the media's preseason All-Big 12 team selections, beginning with the media's decision to name Kenneth Murray the preseason Defensive Player of the Year (6:00). The guys go over their picks for the preseason All-Big 12 Defensive team beginning with the defensive line (27:00). The media left perhaps the best linebacker in the Big 12 off the preseason All-Big 12 team (39:55). Moving to the secondary where we begin with a player Grant would love to see on OU's defense (45:00). We briefly go over the media's offensive picks (57:15) before coming back to name our own Big 12 Defensive Player picks (59:00). Jason Kersey of "The Athletic" breaks a story about Kennedy Brooks as we're recording the episode (1:01:40). Lee asks Grant about his thoughts on the Big 12 Football Media Days attendees and determines the Big 12 is not going to be very good this year (1:05:55). Even though it happened almost a month ago, we decide to talk about the most recent Baker Mayfied/Sam Ehlinger thing (1:08:40). We finish up by discussing a recent "Bleacher Report" story about Florida State. Were we too hard on Willie Taggart last season (1:13:45)?

In the opening take, Grant doesn't want to see college football free agency in the near future, but he's not sure what to do about the NCAA transfer rules. Then Lee joins to propose some ideas that would make the transfer rules more simple (8:00). **We apologize for Lee's audio quality starting at the 18:40 mark. His microphone malfunctioned without him realizing** Lee vents about the NCAA's "5-year clock" rule (23:10). The guys go over their Preseason All-Big 12 Offensive team beginning with a disagreement at quarterback (29:40). On to the running backs (37:00), then to the wide receivers (44:55), Grant Calcaterra seems to be the default All-Big 12 tight end (49:25), the guys weirdly pick a lot of the same offensive linemen for their preseason All-Big 12 team (50:40), and we finish up with kicker and kick returner (57:30) before selecting the preseason Big 12 offensive player of the year (1:02:20). Grant's got a hot date so we skip a couple of football topics to discuss Cake vs. Pie (1:04:20).
