Uhila Wolfgramm's call between the #Sooners and Cougars is still wide open — #SEC vs. staying close to home, and it could drop at any moment👀 According to most, his family loves the Oklahoma staff. So what has made this so tight for OU? Intel:

What had John Mateer been working on this offseason when it comes to his throwing mechanics? “It’s really about his connection to the ground and the fluidity of the arm.” An inside look at his offseason training:

This is actually correct. OU could have chosen to play at night on Saturday. But it’s my understanding that with a quick turnaround playing Michigan at 11 a.m. CT the next week and with the Oklahoma heat in Sept (even at night), it preferred to just play at night on Friday.

Spent some time with John Mateer at Manning Passing Academy, reflecting on last season and what’s to come. He got candid about last year and the way he played after the injury. “I believe that I, even not on my best day, am still damn good enough.” ➡️

On John Mateer’s right hand, you can see the scar from Dr. Steven Shin’s incision marks where he put three screws in the OU quarterback’s hand. “I get to keep ‘em,” Mateer told me, “like a cyborg.” An inside look at Mateer’s offseason:

This is some of the stuff that @GeorgeStoia just absolutely crushes. Baker Mayfield, John Mateer's off-season trainers - QB coach, biomechanics, and Mateer himself from the Manning Passing Academy. Just an unbelievable read for #Sooners fans to get a better feel for their QB.

There are levels and tiers of college football fandom. Perhaps the most advanced class is argue with your rival fanbase based on :10 second clips from Manning Passing Academy at the end of June. It's a progression. It's a good thing.

I talked to Mateer a couple of days ago at Manning Passing Academy. I actually asked him if he lost weight because of how lean he looked. He said he hasn’t lost or gained any weight. Just in better shape. “I’m in the best shape of my life, for sure.”

Bode Sparrow (No. 59 overall prospect nationally) is the #Sooners’ highest-ranked safety commit since Peyton Bowen back in the 2023 class. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s flirting with five-star status by the end of the cycle. He is an incredible all-around football player.

There was a tie in Division II two years ago because of weather. The first one in 30 years. I do like the idea of how ties can change strategy. But I mostly hate the move to the OT shootout.

When watching tape of OU's newest commitment @bode_sparrow , a long-time NFL #Sooners standout came to mind. Largely because of his frame and intelligence, Sparrow sees the field, so, so well and I love how he attacks the play without hesitation.

19 players earned #Sooners offers at camp this summer, only 3 were from states not bordering Oklahoma. And one new name surprised many, including himself, by getting his offer...but definitely not the Oklahoma staff. Meet @BigPapiPagan.

The #Sooners made just one RB offer at summer camp and it went to San Antonio @BFNDFball star @JAYMITCH_1. And as much as he impressed @coachdmc, it's clear the new OU RBs coach has impressed Mitchell as well.

My dad has lived in Omaha almost his entire life. He was a sophomore at OU, and there in the Rosenblatt bleachers, when the #Sooners won the CWS in 1994. 32 years later, he got to watch the title drought end tonight alongside me (OU grad), my mom (OU grad), and my youngest sister (current OU student, big cotton candy gal). His favorite pair of sunglasses flew off his head after Kyle Branch’s insult-to-injury homer, and an increasingly miserable UNC fan sitting behind us stomped on them and crushed them. Other than that, though, I think he probably enjoyed the night as much as anybody. Long time coming.

How ‘bout them #Sooners. First national title in one of the Big Three men’s sports (football, basketball and baseball) since 2000. The drought is over. Skip freakin’ did it. And yes, the final from Omaha is 13-2. Couldn’t write it any better.

Think whatever you want about Sorsby, but seeing a lot of “Jeffrey Kessler doesn’t want to pick a fight with the NFL.” If you’re thinking that, Google the name Freeman McNeil. Kessler beat the NFL as badly as it has ever been beaten.

A bipartisan housing bill that passed both chambers of Congress with great support, derailed by the President suddenly wanting something unrelated passed first instead. Have to wonder, if a college sports bill even gets through Congress, would the same thing happen?

Co-sign. It’s a credit to Eddie, but he’s such a hilarious Twitter follow that many don’t adequately appreciate how much of a grinder he is as well. In a world full of talking heads who only ever watch games on TV, Eddie ALWAYS has his boots on the ground.
