Personnel limitations: This change would eliminate the limit on the number of coaches who may be employed by an institution, and it may or may not be paired with a concept to eliminate all personnel designations (volunteer coach, grad assistant, analyst, etc.). Schools could pay for as many full-time assistant coaches as they can afford. And little things like who is or isn’t allowed to wear a headset during games wouldn’t matter anymore.
Exciting, fast, explosive and diverse offense. Physical, punishing, relentless, suffocating defense.
Whenever you can make a room better, you do it. Bowens might be moving to WR...or maybe he is QB3.
My concern is how thin the WR room is and now OU doesn't have room to take 2 WRs. They only have room for 1. But they have like 6 QBs on the roster.
OUr new, giant QB is a TE just waiting to happen. Bowens can be a slot, so let Lebby try them and then have the conversation with one or more about having a future at another position.

we don't have room for 2 WRs now? I assumed the scholarship count was closer to 81 than it was to 84. I haven't see that posted anywhere, just sort of figured it was the case.
Needed 2 WRs not a backup QB though. I thought Bowens would be fine as a backup. I guess not.
I have to ask why you believe Bowens would be fine? Bowens by all accounts is behind a PWO on the unofficial depth chart, as well as a true freshman. After Gabriel, no QB has taken meaningful college snaps. Now, we've added a transfer QB who has played meaningful snaps and offers physical measurements no one else on the roster offers. Having a QB that tall is an advantage if he can play.
Is he the next starter and Heisman trophy winner? I highly doubt that. But considering Ralph Rucker was likely QB#2, I feel better now that we have someone who has played well in the games he's played, like he did vs Michigan ST in the bowl game.
If Gabriel goes down with injury, our potential to win games drops substantially. The new QB transfer gives us more potential to mitigate the number of losses.

Subtracting Jackson, Rawlins-Kibonge, and Arinze, adding the new QB, and a very quick count in my head, I counted 72. EDIT: Coldon wasn't listed yet since he's not on campus, so 73 is my unofficial count.
***DISCLAIMER #1*** I am the anti-expert when it comes to tracking player scholarships but figured someone had a dedicated website (see link).
***DISCLAIMER #2*** I was up super late, only got about 4 hours of sleep, and I don't do math in my head very often now that I'm in my late 40s. It would be wise to double check my math.

BUT...did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express?
Not yet, but I'm traveling to Sacramento later in the month and we'll be staying at a Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express. Does that count, or do I have to stay there first before I can claim the Holiday Inn Express mojo?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express since Mardi Gras, 1996. The last Holiday Inn of any kind I visited was 1997 in Estes Park, Colorado.
