I HATE this take! I understand that players might want to quit on their team b/c they feel it’s best for them, but for you to encourage and promote that before it actually happens is a problem.
Disappointing that you use your platform to spread this message for CFB. Be better!
With National Championship hopes gone, Caleb Williams should consider sitting out the rest of the season.
The Heisman is a long shot, CFB Playoffs are even less likely, and he won’t play in the bowl game.
The risk of playing FAR outweighs the reward. Business decision.
My wife and I have a lot of great memories of Toby over the years. But late night back porch sing alongs with him at the lake are tough to beat and will be truly missed 😢
I’m old enough to remember when I really respected you Colin. Lately you have become a complete 🤡
BTW congrats on all the future success for your Trojans! OU will probably just shut the program down considering the Coach that left was the first to have success in Norman. 😂
Feel bad for
@OU_Football
USC gonna need about 18 months and they’ll be flying past em, around em, over em. This recruiting class will be other worldly. Best offensive HC in college w these weapons. Can’t quit smiling
I just want to say thank you to
@OU_CoachMike
for all that he has done for me and
@OU_Football
! He’s the biggest reason I came north of the Red River, and I owe him everything I have in my adult life. Passionate Coach and Great Man!
“Tough Times Don’t Last, Tough People Do!”
Wild day in Norman! Caleb Williams is a phenomenal talent. Hate to see him go, but wish him nothing but the best in the future.
That said I absolutely love the addition of DT coach Todd Bates and QB Dillon Gabriel is the real deal! I gotta say today was a good day for OU!
I’ve called a couple of Dillon’s games over the past couple years, and I can tell you he is a Baller!! Love his skillset and leadership qualities!! Gonna be fun to watch him reunited with
@Coach_Leb
!! 🍿

In his media session tonight, Drake Stoops categorically rejected any notion that the
#Sooners
don't have much left to play for in 2023, despite being out of the CFP race.
"I come in here day in and day out, 10 hours in here every day. And for me, there's a lot left to play for.
Toby Keith was more than a Country Music Icon!!! He loved America, the Troops, Oklahoma, the Sooners, golfing, fishing, and so much more. He was a great man, and someone that I had the privilege to call a Friend! We will all miss you TK! ❤️ RIP
Last night the country music world lost the great Toby Keith.
Toby was a dedicated

What a year! Yesterday concluded my 5th year covering

fans!! Alot of people have been concerned if this game would happen, but both

and
@KStateFB
are cleared to play. In less than 24 hours

play will begin, and it will be Football time in Oklahoma.
#CFB
Really enjoyed the opportunity to call this competitive game! UCF showed up after the bye and gave the
#Sooners
all they wanted. But this
@OU_Football
team has maturity, toughness, and can FINISH!! There’s tremendous value in not playing your best and finding a way to win!
The
#Sooners
Defense was straight 🔥 today!!! Disruptive and flying around all day! 15 TFLs, 6 sacks, and held Baylor to 3/15 on 3rd Down. Impressive stuff for a defense that was called horrific in the last few weeks. I hope you would agree
@jim_morafb

Extremely thankful and appreciative for the opportunity to call this final Big 12 Bedlam!!! This Game is Special!!! The stakes are high, and the atmosphere in Stillwater will be electric!!! Can’t wait for Saturday!!!
Awesome day at the
@bakermayfield
Football Camp in Norman today! Baker was incredible with these kids and genuinely wanted to be there to work with them. My son and these kids learned about competing and attitude from one of the best
#Sooners
to ever do it.Thanks Bake! 🐐
Clearly this is a very emotional time around the
@OU_Football
program, and everyone needs to calm down. I’m told there will not be any announcements today. Deep breaths and be patient.
#Sooners
I respect you Joel, but not this take. The CFB coaches I speak to about this that are pissed and say it’s a huge competitive advantage… Do they know LESS about football??
I haven’t spoken to a coach that would agree with your comments here. Curious what Ryan Day thinks 🤔
Chew on this for a minute:

Fishing has been a big hit for the boys, but today my daughter got in on the action. Her first fish. She and dad were fired up!
Me: Wow! Thats a nice bass honey
Daughter: No daddy thats not a bass... thats a Big Bass!!
Coach Leach changed college football forever, and was as unique and authentic as anyone!! I’m truly grateful that I was able to get to know him over the years. Coach will be greatly missed!! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
#RIPCoachLeach
OU is thrilled to announce the following changes to our coaching staff:
▪️Seth Littrell, Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach
▪️Joe Jon Finley, Co-Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends Coach

Glad we get to keep seeing this young man keep play football! I’ve thought for a while that the NFL is actually the safer bet to succeed and make more $$$ both in the short and long term. Kyler is a prospect in baseball, he’s already a star playing football!! Get your 🍿 ready!
Kyler Murray is reportedly going to enter the NFL draft after being drafted 9th overall in the MLB draft last year.
No player has ever been a 1st-round pick in both the NFL and MLB drafts. H/T
@EliasSports
I absolutely love what you guys are doing with the DL for the

Team 128 is STRONGER than ever! Unified, focused, and determined to get better and be better everyday.
Where my future Sooners at⁉️‼️⁉️
They say true love is blind for a reason.
14 years ago today I somehow convinced this amazing, beautiful bride to say I Do… Ponytail and all!! It’s been an amazing journey, and we still have a long way to go!!
Happy Anniversary

Other observations:
@OU_CoachB
continues to prove he’s the best in the country. The OL loses 4 starters to the NFL, and the offense ran for 354 yds at 9.6 yds/att 👀👀👀. Also didn’t allow a sack in 24 attempts. For those that don’t know, those are ridiculous numbers!!
#Sooners
Congrats
@OU_Softball
!! 3 straight National Championships!!!! Absolutely Incredible!!!! Thank you ladies for allowing us to enjoy this incredible journey with you!!!
#BOOMER
I remember many arguments and people ripping me for clamoring that the
@Big12Conference
needed to add a Conference Title game several years ago. The
#Sooners
are in the
@CFBPlayoff
in large part because they had a Champ Game to avenge their only loss! I’d say that move paid off!
Much respect to
@BUFootball
and Matt Rhule. That’s a tough minded, physical, damn good football team!! Excellent effort and fight today in the
#Big12Championship
game! Amazing rise back to prominence, and as long as that coach stays they aren’t going away any time soon!!
Saturday Morning Mood!!!! Gonna be a Physical Fight between 2 good Football Teams today!!! Love this game, love this Rivalry!!! It’s what College Football is all about!!! Let’s Go!!!

Finally
@roywilliams31
gets in!👏👏👏Hard to describe just how good he was on the field, but the dude was on another level in college! One of the best football players I had the opportunity to call a teammate at any level!!!

team refusing to give up on this season!!Love to see it!! Lets go
College basketball this time of the year is awesome!
The outrage I see from
#Sooners
fans over Trace Adkins is laughable! If you love
@OU_Football
and want to help impact recruiting then SHOW UP to the game! Fill the stadium and create an amazing Gameday like atmosphere!That’s what your selling to recruits,not pregame entertainment
My little 5 year old boy asked Santa last Christmas for a football practice facility 😂 This was the best Santa could do. All the effort was worth every bit of his reaction. Love that kid

Thank you for your service sir! Thanks for watching the broadcast today.
The day you wear that FREAKING jersey and give everything you have for that football program then talk to me. Until then please talk that BS to someone else . I don’t have time for it
The
#RedRiverRivalry
was absolutely 🔥 🔥🔥 yesterday once again!! What an incredible game!! Both OU and TX are damn good teams, and I expect we see Round 2 in Arlington for a Big 12 Championship!!
I had the opportunity to play in the Cotton Bowl in 2002 as an 18 yr old freshman. Awesome experience! Almost 18 years later I have the honor and privilege to call that same game on

! Extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity. It’s gonna be a fun matchup! Let’s go!
Well it’s official!!! I’m thankful and fired up to partner with

I’ll go out on a limb here and say I think this whole Hurts/Riley combination is gonna workout just fine!! This has been about as impressive a
#Sooners
debut as I can remember! Good luck stopping this offense!
What is it with this Clown?? I keep getting tweets or messages about him running his mouth about me. I guess me leaving the station to get away from him wasn’t good enough. Why does he continually talk about and bad mouth me?? Little help here
@sportsanimal
!! Please!
Words can’t begin to describe what
@OU_CoachGundy
has meant to the

program! Thank you for the positive impact you’ve had on me and countless other players! You are a great coach and a great man!! My heart aches for you and your family right now. 😢
What a game!!!! Awesome effort and fight from both teams!! Congrats to

on their remarkable 5th straight
#Big12Championship
!! Proud of this team!! Lincoln Riley is a bad man!! 3 years as a HC and 3 Championship banners to show for it!
#BoomerSooner
Attention to ATL!
I’m absolutely sick to my stomach for Rodney! He’s an outstanding young man that has shown an amazing ability to overcome adversity. He dealt with a shattered ankle and broken neck in his first 2 seasons, only to become one of the best players in
#CFB
. This will be no different!!
The
#CFP
should look like this on Tuesday:
1)Alabama
2)Clemson
3)ND
4)Georgia
5)OU
6)Ohio St
I really don’t see how it could be anything different! Putting Ohio St over OU would be ridiculous regardless of metrics or eye test!
