Yeah, no kidding. Riley is still unknown as a head coach. He walked into an extremely fortunate and unusual scenario with the way Stoops retired, and only has one season as a head coach under his belt. He also choked away the Georgia game with his play calling.
Tom Herman BIg 12 presser

I’m glad Oklahoma has Riley. I guess you guys feel the same about Herman.
Who cares it’ll shake out in the end. You know now you have to play the same team twice to win the big 12. Riley dissected the TCU defense the second time last year. Let’s see if Tom puts his reputation on the line calling plays?

I kinda think Riley might look like a deer in headlights quite often this season. BM is a pissant and needs an a**whipping, but it turns out he’s a pretty decent little football player. Ou depended on his playmaking for 3 years solid and it’ll show right out the gate this September.
Don't kid yourself.... Riley has tons of talent on offense. All he needs is a kid that can deliver the football in a competent way.
It more means that a rivalry game often goes beyond the talent of the two teams. OU was clearly the better team and had the better season, and losing wouldn't have changed that. Glad they didnt lose though. OU is clearly the better team in 2018 too, but it doesn't mean you walk in to dallas without a victory without 100% effort.
QB was the only thing they really lost last year they dont have coming back this year. They return their top 2 wrs, all the rbs, and most of the line. You could win with just about anyone behind all that. I'm willing to bet the 2009 texas team lost more than the 2017 OU team did and most certainly had less coming back. Should be a fun season!
He's more than an unknown. He's in his 4th year at OU, so they know him quite well, what he's all about, his style and how he does things. He was an OC for a while before being at OU so he's gotten quite a bit of experience being a leader. And one thing that's indisputable is that he's a hell of a recruiter and that is the lifeblood of any program. Just how well Ou did last year after losing what they lost and the offense not missing a beat, and all the good decisions he did make to get them to teh big game oveshadows the rookie mistakes he did make and hopefully learned from.
Yeah he already knows that OU is “clearly” better than Texas in 2018 before anyone has stepped on the field.
That doesnt make sense at all. What's wrong with having skepticism? Incorrect, everyone there is not the greatest, and everyone coming is not the greatest. It's not the bestest dog gone place in the history of ever at at all. Appreciate your enthusiasm but its not well placed.
Well, duh. texas has no offense and barely any prospects of it getting better this year. Multiple people who have seen them have said as much. Even your own head coach barely has a thing to say bout elite talent on his team. But if you think texas is better this year lets have ourselves a wager. You wanna lose $20 ? I bet me on the RRR game in dallas. Bet OU wins and its by more than a possession.
Heisenberg, that was hyperbole
There's room on the bandwagon for fair weather fans. Come aboard, bring your sister. We like sisters.
LOL. In all honesty my brother is a big OU fan...that is enough for our family.
Riiiigt. I still don't get why ANYONE in their right mind would actually choose to be a Sooner fan on purpose. OU - land thieves, liars, cheaters, wife beaters, outlaws, trailer trash and low IQ's. Barf!
So at least someone in the family had a good year. See, that's a good bet to hedge.

Guess that's just how you see it. Try being a California kid who just moved to oklahoma. Soak in that for a minute. No friends, not a lot to do on a saturday, just a football fan who never liked college ball. It's 1994, OU sucks, but they are on every saturday like clockwork and they're the home team so i figure okay i'll watch them. Dont remember much of that first season, only that i watched the games and thought about how bad they were. I mean I"m a 49er fan, spoiled fan, they were kings in the early 90s, and I disliked barry switzer. I didnt even know he coached at OU, that's how out of it I was. So 97 rolls around. And i'm solidly an OU fan, they are the only team I watch on saturdays, I really didnt care about CFB much, my team sucked and i didnt care about the others anyway. Then syracuse came to town. Mcnabb, big time program, big game. Down by 1, a last second field goal to win it. It was balls. I was hooked after that, really hooked, on college football. I didnt even care that we lost to Nebraska 69-7. Because we scored on them and it was so much better than a shutout. But I was hooked and it's when I started to hate texas. Losing a close in in 97, the ass whipping in 98 and 99 I loved to hate texas. It sure made 2000 feel really, like the first time you put your weiner in a girl kind of good. It felt like home.
So that's how a person in his right mind chooses OU on purpose. It's pretty nice actually on my side. We fans earned our stripes in the early 90s like the fans of texas have been for a long time now. Hard to believe OU's years of irrelevance was more short lived than this slump texas is in. Most of that low IQ trailer trash stuff is just fans of one school using propaganda and attributing the less desirable characteristics a human can have to the fans of their opposing fan base. It's an age old tactic, the north koreans have been doing it for a long time!
So lemme get this straight, you moved from San Francisco to Oklahoma?
So........ it was cheaper to move the anal bead factory to Oklahoma and ship the merch back?

Baker was tremendously efficient for sure, but the offense will not be the problem. Defense has to take major strides in order to compete for another championship. Offense is actually quite stacked, talent wise. WR's, RB's, TE, Oline, all should be very very good. Murray at QB will not be as efficient passing the ball as BM was (at least I doubt he will) but the kid brings the added run-threat dimension to this offense which was rarely respected from the QB spot during Baker's time. Read options will look a bit different with a 4.3 scat back behind center.....and....he can throw it a little too. Should be fun.
speaking of QB's....how has Corky looked this summer??
Run him. Please dear God in the name of all things holy, run him.
I will literally pay Riley money to run him.

I didnt live in San Francisco.
And I dont know anything about anal bead factories. But if they interest you so, you can always use google!
He's going to run. So you will get your dream or whatever. But you have to catch him in order to hurt him. But it seems weird you hope so badly for him to get hurt.
Amazon ships faster.
Yes, I will readily admit I want him to run because I do want him to get hurt.
Not INJURED, but hurt.
Injuries require surgery. Hurt requires more heart.

Well let’s talk about that big lumbering QB. I counted about 3 concussions last year for him. He still played he had so much heart. His mothered cheered while ESPN was pumping him for a Heisman. Big slow equals big collisions. Play call QB left or right between the tackles brilliant call by ?
And I think it's weird to hope for someone to get hurt.
I liked how Ehlinger got concussed by an OU player, and he came right back out the next drive and throws the ball away on 4th down to basically end the game. We need more of that.

Are you saying you're weird then Heisenberg?

No, the part I liked is the decision making of your coach to put someone out there who is prone to doing something bone-headed after being rocked. We need more of his Aces decision making at pivotal moments in the game
Meh...I would like to see more of what Lincoln Riley did in OT of the Georgia game. Talk about freaking bone head...
Yeah, but i think he made more good decisions than bad. I'll be he learned a lot from last year
You think it weird that as a former defense player, I want to hurt the QB? Dude, do you football much? I didn't just pray on bended knee every night to get to play against scrambling qb's, when a qb broke contain and started scrambling, I found the millisecond of animalistic rush that flowed through me to be so exhilarating that not only did I want to kill him (remove head from body) I'm right now at this moment struggling to find the words of how badly I wanted to physically, emotionally, psychologically, in barbarian fashion, eviscerate that QB. I would have gray wolf pissed on him after..... I'm a really sweet guy off the field.
But yes, I want him to hurt. I want him to hurt so bad that the fear of hurting more is so overwhelming that the fear grabs him and he's neutered by his fear and loses the desire to continue playing. I don't want him injured, but yes.... I want him hurt.

I appreciate how poetically you describe the furnace of hatred in your heart that fuels the desire to see a Sooner hurt. I know how much it sucks playing a qb who is slippery and fast, nobody likes it. I sure in the moment and as a player on the field I totally get wanting to eviscerate someone. I like laying someone and you get in their head, all a part of the game. I think it's a little weird to hope for someone to get hurt it as a fan, at the end of the day he's still a kid. But i get it. It's like, I dont support OJ killing his wife and ron goldman, but i get it
Yeah, I'm pretty sure clob just described every defensive player from every school, at every level for about the last 100 years.
It'd be like someone being shocked that a boxer or UFC fighter wants his opponent to "hurt" and would want to beat him/her emotionally, psychologically, physically, etc. into submission...er eviscerate them.
What? Oh my gosh, you wanted to break that guys face? How awful!
You should check out Chris Rock's take on that. It was a call to that. I don't support it but i understand.
Like I said, that's how players are, I get that. That's appreciated and gives you an edge. But I repeat, for I dont know, the 4th time maybe that I maintain that I think it's weird for joe sixpack watching the game to be wishing someone to get hurt
