he will grow a ton- this was akin to a dude taking a UFC fight on a weeks notice and damned near winning

thinking there are a few folks who should never play the market, "oh my God, my stock dropped a few points today, i'd better sell it all"

pfft

Considering we played 3 second stringers the entire game they did ok at times. Arnold holding onto the ball for 30 seconds didn’t do them any favors. Felt like we should have leaned on the running game more when up by 11. Need some serious talent infusion and development or the SEC is going to feast on this line.

We need to prepare ourselves for a very down season next year. You cannot replace all 5 starters on the OL (unless the entire starting OL for Bama transfers to OU) and expect to be very good. Even with 2 starters, the OL was getting beaten too many times all game long.

Additionally, I didn't want Brent Venables as head coach when LincolnRiley left. I wanted an established, experienced head coach. But Joe C rarely hires experienced head coaches. I think he missed an opportunity there. Venables wasn't ready to be a head coach. We've seen this team underperform routinely, even in victories. We've seen Venables make so many dumb, basic mistakes during the games. We have not set ourselves up for success in the SEC. Let's hope the new recruits are beyond special. 

It’s been coming for years. Chickens are gonna roost eventually. Looking like a Nebraska season may be staring us in the face because that shiny new SEC schedule doesn’t have a whole lot of wins on it as this team stands.

What a schizo game last night. Horrible 1st and 4th quarters with dominating the 2nd and nearly all of the 3rd. Obviously Arnold has the physical tools but has a ways to go mentally (will come with experience and reps).

Huge offseason ahead. Need serious development in the trenches and hopefully can snag some more help via the portal.

Starting to agree. Last night the Sooners weren't even close to prepared, in any phase.  They allowed 300+ yards receiving to just TWO Arizona WRs and still cannot consistently generate pressure without the blitz (even against patchwork OL units).  Offensively it was a comedy of errors that only highlighted the whimper that was the end of the season.  This team will be lucky to win 8 games in the SEC unless things change DRASTICALLY next year.

And can someone tell me what Roof does?

6.  I was gonna say 7, but all three losses were bad, ugly, no-answers losses. Losing to Texsux would have been one thing, but OU lost to THREE teams they had BEAT.  Team got worse as the year went on, problems didn't get fixed, answers were not found.  OL looks like it will continue to be a weakness moving forward and I'm not sure what evidence we have that the DL will be able to generate pressures without needing a blitz. Then there is the soft-by-default Air Raid offense they will be employing for the next several years.  Oh boy. That has me excited for the SEC.

Of course, we have no idea how much 'air raid' we will be playing. The air raid is used when you don't have the players to be run heavy. If that gets changed, you'll see a more balanced offense. Littrell has coached teams with productive running games in the past. Need some mean hogs on the offensive line, some talent at tight end, and a tough fullback.

It was influenza type A, ya dork. And Switzer was handed an excellent team by Chuck Fairbanks after the turn around was started by Jim Mackenzie, who built an incredible staff and started a recruiting juggernaut. I do wish you well in your brave fight against your own ignorance.
