  • Ep. 115 - Are We Sure Jalen Hurts Will Be Good in 2019?
    In the opening take, Lee kind of talks about recruiting. Kind of. Then Grant joins to talk about the first OU football game the guys ever went to (4:30). A message from a listener makes Lee change his mind about Jalen Redmond's future at OU (9:30). Are we sure Jalen Hurts is going to be good this season (19:00)? Are we sure Jalen Redmond's position is going to be Rush LB (32:00)? Are we sure the Big 12 won't be terrible in 2019 (40:20)? We look ahead to OU's Week 5 opponent Texas Tech. Grant doesn't think Tech's going to be very good this year, and there's solid evidence to back up that claim (48:40). Grant's incredibly high on Kyler Murray's rookie season, while Lee says pump the breaks (57:45).

  • Ep. 114 - A Shocking Point Spread and Ranking Head Coaches
    In the opening take, Grant takes a stroll down memory lane and revisits a game from 2017. Then Lee joins to describe his night covering OU softball as the Sooners fell in the WCWS (5:30). The Golden Nugget in Vegas has released a crazy spread for the OU-Houston game (9:25). Grant was scared for Jalen Redmond after reading a recent story from the Norman Transcript (17:50). The guys respond to a listener email asking about the true freshmen who recently arrived in Norman. Grant's got thoughts on a handful of players, while Lee provides evidence backing up the futility of Wichita area football (25:50). Grant has done a hilarious amount of research on OU's Week 2 opponent South Dakota and he may know more about the Coyotes than their actual fans (42:50). Lee thinks Chip Kelly is the most interesting part about UCLA and the guys try to figure out if he's a top 15 college head coach? Lee ranks his top coaches and divides most of them into tiers (51:10). Grant thinks UCLA could be a little feisty and he's not happy that Lee is totally overlooking the Bruins (1:04:50). Apparently one of WVU's best defensive backs recently entered his name in the transfer portal (1:14:00).

  • Ep. 113 - A Jalen Redmond Prediction We Hope is Wrong
    In the opening take, Lee explains why he's not confident Jalen Redmond will play again for OU. Then Grant joins to talk about one of Baker Mayfield's best TD passes and also the ineptitude of Hue Jackson (6:40). The guys get back into Jalen Redmond's blood clots. Grant tends to be more optimistic about Redmond's outlook (12:45). We take a little time to address a comment from Facebook in regards to recruiting (18:20). Lincoln Riley says he's not going to name a starting QB before fall camp (27:55). We turn are attention to Week 1 vs. Houston and both of us still have that 2016 OU-Houston game in our heads (34:25). Houston's got a talented QB that may be the best QB the Sooners face all season (37:30). Houston's pass catchers are really good (39:50). We try to figure out the best QBs OU's defense will face in 2019 (41:30). More details on D'Eriq King's quarterback ability (45:30). Grant's got some notes on Houston's offensive line (50:50). Houston's defense was awful in 2018 and it's likely to be terrible yet again this fall (52:35). If you could take one player off Houston's roster and put him on OU's roster, who would it be (1:00:40)? The Sooners are nearly a 2 TD favorite over Houston right now. More confident in OU or Houston covering right now (1:05:30)? Next week we'll talk about South Dakota and UCLA. Remember when South Dakota almost beat K-State last season (1:08:45)? Lee ends the show by telling the story of an interesting interaction he had with Lincoln Riley last week (1:12:05).
