I never thought I would say it again in my lifetime...But my Sooners Suck

[SoonerBillsFan]

Venables is in over his head, No OL, No QB and all but 1 of our top 4 WR's has soft tissue injuries?   Not since the days of Gibbs, Schellenberger and Blake did I think I would have to say, we suck. 

 

44 million buy out, but I am hearing boosters are getting the money ready. In this time of NIL, we cant afford portal losses and loss of recruits, I think a move needs to be made.  Someone talk me off my ledge please!

I wish it was just that.  Texas was prepared, Venables didn't have us ready.

I mean you guys had 20+ years of elite coaching/recruiting stability. Even Lincoln Riley who has some mixed reviews is a hell of a recruiter and has solid programs year in and year out. Now you hired a turd. On top of that needing to rebuild vs the SEC. Plenty of storied programs in coaching hell for a very long time. I hope that isn't your fate.

They stupidly just went for a familiar name instead of doing a thorough search.

I disagree with that 

 

Venables was by far the best choice..  literally getting a consensus top five national player who's a quarterback..  Arnold... And him being the biggest fraud in Oklahoma football history is a much bigger part of why you're struggling 

 

He was supposed to be Baker Mayfield on steroids.. he literally didn't even make it five games into his rs freshman year 

 

So then you had to throw a true freshman to the wolves who was not ready.. your season was already over there 

 

But Brett.. is the only coach who has been able to create a defense non sec that has been able to stop Nick saban's Alabama offense in a national championship game

 

Holding them to 14... He also held hurts to like 140 passing yards in their 35-31 Natty win 

 

Unless saban is playing Georgia.. Brett is the only one to get results 

 

Oklahoma's defense is still really good... You just had the biggest fraud at QB 

 

I thought Jackson Arnold was going to be a Heisman trophy winner

What about a 16-10 record with Dillion Gabriel?

Half of their plans got gutted when Caleb Williams bolted to USC 

 

They literally lost a Heisman trophy college Superstar who they had for two more seasons... That put them in scramble mode to get Dillon Gabriel, who is a really good college quarterback who was prone to some bad games 

 

I did expect Gabriel to play really well again for Oregon because this is his sixth year of college football he should dominate on that alone 

 

But his play and stats were more aligned to Spencer rattler.. and he doesn't even have the arm strength of rattler.. and he was ran out of town in Oklahoma ... Gabriel did play a lot better in 23 and beat Texas so they will always respect that... But they were ready to get rid of him because Arnold was supposed to be a superstar

 

Oklahoma could have won a national championship with Caleb Williams and that defense in 2023.. they were already really good with Gabriel and those two players aren't even on the same stratosphere

 

But losing the future Heisman while subsequently having a bust for a top five national player is tough to overcome and all couple years span

 

Oklahoma football will be fine tho 

 

If Jackson Arnold was as advertised they would be really good this year cuz their defense is tough

1996: Twister was released in theaters. OSU, OU and Tulsa went a combined 12-21, none with a winning record.
2024: Twisters was released. OSU, OU and Tulsa have a combined 10-14 with no winning record.

 

As an Oklahoma State fan, alum and season ticket holder... I expected OSU to end up in the Playoffs. We returned practically EVERYONE. PFF (preseason) #1 OL, #1 RB, top 10 LB corp, top 15 WR group. 

We suck ass. We both suck this year. 

I didn't see OU with a winning season. My youngest goes to Ole Miss and I follow them closely (I was actually at the OU/Ole Miss game last weekend). I knew OU would struggle with all they lost on the OL and having a brutal SEC schedule. Did I expect them to have the same number of SEC wins as OSU? No. But man.
