Damn that thread is gold. Look at this Gem that I posted in the same thread:
"I'm going to go ahead and put this out there: I've read all the analysis, listened to the talking heads, OU by 14 and Mayfield stakes an early claim on the Heisman."

Gotta say I come on here on occasion to see if I can grab a gem of news on the team. Or one of Clob’s infamous rants or opinions on life in general. I might even drop a post or response every now and then. But all I’m seeing these days is OU fans crashing the threads with a bunch of drama. It’s gotten very old and may be time to move on to another board.
Oh hey @WRLHookem I wondered where you've been, seems like I haven't seen you around much since the RRS shootout dialogue you had with me and then I remembered why but you never came back to congratulate me on the win. Your Page 4 bold prediction lol. It's ok though, it's a new year

Bell, I've asked you to let stuff go, but you won't. You've gotten real mouthy with most everyone on here. It's old. Knock it off. Last warning.
? You asked me to let my opinion of Riley go because some of the folks on here are upset and don't agree with it. Now I'm being real mouthy with most everyone on here? Last warning? LOL ok
Bell I recall. Forgot about that one. Ill take my lumps. We’ll kick your ass this year and maybe I’ll be right this year. Either way I don’t plan to run back here and make a big deal out of it. Something tells me though that you have some insecurity issues. To rifle back through some old threads like a silly girl is funny.
You're the one that called him the "Real Deal", not me.
I get it. You spent the better part of 5 years talking about how great Lincoln Riley is and then he left you for another job. Now you want everyone to think he sucks, because your mad at him.
I agree with you. I don't think he's as good a coach as his record indicates. I think Brent Venables is a very good hire and will be extremely successful.
However, any comparison between LR and BV is laughable. BV has never won a game as a HC.
As far as being a no it all. I have opinions just like everyone else.
I thought CS and TH were going to be good hires and defended both constantly. I never thought MB could win a NC. I hate the fact that we would never consider coaches like Aranda, Bob Stoops, BV, Kirby Smart, or LR because they have never been HCs somewhere else.
I'll tell you what I don't do. I don't backtrack on my opinions after the fact.
So your opinion of them changed at some point right? Do you still think they are good coaches? Everyone thought Riley was a good coach when hired on and won some games. He's still considered a good OC. I came to the realization after several opportunities that Riley was not going to win it all at OU, plain and simple? We've been chasing a NC for over 20 years, we don't need a guy that just wins conference games anymore. That's my opinion.
Your response tells me that you don't have the self awareness to consider what I'm saying. SMH. You don't always have to have the last word in every conversation. You have beaten the Riley thing like a dead horse for months. Let it go and be respectful of others and remember that you're posting on a TEXAS board.
I haven’t read through all these posts since I don’t have time. All I’ll say is whoever was coaching OU or UT in the past is ancient history to me. My only focus is on what’s going on now. Both UT and OU are in a similar place where both teams have a lot to prove. My honest assessment right now is that OU is a better team right now until we prove it otherwise on the field in the RRS and Big 12 CG. I love the direction we’re headed with Sark and I’m convinced we’re going to be in the conversation for CFP contention in a couple years.
Since ou has been brought up, what's the scoop on injury updates from other Big 12 schools or Texas opponents?
And you will notice that our opinions don't differ dramatically, except....
Your opinion of LR's coaching ability took a nosedive from 30K feet in late November and you seem to get defensive whenever anyone makes that observation. That's why I keep bringing it up.
I understand your points as an OU fan expecting last year to be THE YEAR and by the 4th game of the season your coach and qb are getting booed out of the stadium and by the 2nd weekend in October your starting qb is getting benched for a true freshman you start to realize, it’s another year and you’re no closer to the big prize, you’re actually getting farther away and then you have the November loses
Bohannon just doesn't have it. He was inaccurate and struggled against good defenses. When he got hurt, Shapen came into the KSU game and lit it up. He followed up in the remaining games - including the championship game against OSU - we scored virtually every time we had the ball in the first half, and then he hurt his shoulder. He stayed in but struggled after that - but earned respect for sticking it out. That kept him out of the Sugar Bowl. Bohannon came back for the Sugar Bowl and was horrid.
Everybody loved Bohannon - he was a leader of men. But no one in Waco is crying over this change -- Shapen is just better. By a lot.
How the f*ck do you think we feel. It's another year and we can't block or tackle the school fir the blind.
For those that want to archive, I called the Kyler for heisman. Way early at that. I still can't win 2 dollars on the lotto though. 👍
I agree with everything you just stated my man. You've parroted everything I've ever suggested about Riley. I got lambasted for this from many a Sooner fan also. Him running from the sec says alot. Brent's been there and done that. I'm comfortable right now. 👍
Who was destined for Texas until Ewers signed on is reunited with Jeff Lebby at OU yes Art Briles son in law. Those 2 at UCF averaged 540 ypg in Dillon’s freshman year. I fully expect their offense to be pretty salty with those two. Let’s see how this plays out . Hookem !
Will the OK offense get called for at least 2 personal fouls a game like his father in laws teams did?
Will his receivers go for the knees like his father in laws teams did?
Will his offense get penalized at least 5x a game like his father in laws teams did?
Inquiring minds want to know.
C'mon MM. Bell about the only OU fan on this site on a regular basis. Maybe two or 3 of us check in from time to time seeing what the Horns are up too. Bell, like almost all OU fans, over the Riley drama and into BV and the new staff. Done a good job salvaging the recruiting class. Only commented on OU's fall practice in responding to Cali's questions. No harm, no foul. 8 days to go.
