Finally: somebody like Rufus spoke it without giving Lincoln Riley a pass on his shady handling of the USC Job. Thank You Rufus ☝️
He an independent insurance agent my friend is a rep for for a Company she calls on him now snd then very nice guy
Loved Gabes take on Lebby having the offense more organized and more intertwined with coaches and players. Good info guys.
It's totally shocking man and disturbing to hear that and just reveals more of the cluster F that was this years offense.
It was not all Lincoln Riley's fault. For starters it started with these hideous people: OU Board of Regents, Athletic Director, and whoever was in the meeting regarding following texas like a trained seal, and of course Money, as we are heading to espn which runs the sec. Here is something to think about: OU fans, are hypocrites: Remember how you wanted Brent out of OU? I remember, because I wanted Mike Stoops out also, because OU defense was declining under Bob Stoops. If the competition is so underwhelming in the big 12, why has OU only had one undefeated season and National Championship and that was way back in 2000. OU fans thinking that they will be playing bama, georgia, lsu, florida, well brace yourself, the sec has the worst rotation in the history of all sports. OU may play georgia twice in 10 years. Again, if OU is so great, why have we only had one undefeated season and again that was 2000. As for booing Spencer, the venom should have been directed at Alex Grinch and the entire defense. Now for Riley, he is a coward, his three losses to sec teams in the playoffs, Georgia, which we could have won in the Rose Bowl------lousy coaching at the end of the game. The game with bama, extremely slow start, and we still did not have a defense, The game with lsu, in all honesty, lsu could have scored more points against our defense-------defenseless. Lincoln is at a lesser conference that is looking for identity. A lot of so call OU fans don't remember the 90's, when OU was horrible. OU fans need to start looking at the full circle, and put the blame on all parties. Like so many people, I was in the state of shock when Lincoln pulled his USC mess. As an OU fan going all the way back to the 60's and yes I was at OU with Barry Switzer 1977-1982, Fans, Student Athletes are just now realizing that College Football is Big Business, now thanks to the NCAA (Yes Great for the NCAA), we have a college football portal, where now students athletic can come/go at will just like coaches have been doing there entire life. As for the three host, I remember there playing days, Thanks for Everything, you are and always will be Oklahoma Sooners!
@@bryanwiley5511, Wow, thats a whole lot of name calling in your comment. "Hideous people," "Hypocrites," "trained seals." I think you're mistaking decisions you don't like for bad character and trying to establish some sort of seniority amongst sooner fans doesn't change that. Many of us know the history and have been fans just as long as you. Lets hit some of your points one by one. First of all, Lincoln riley is absolutely and totally at fault for the culture of his team. He was the head coach, establishing and maintaining that culture is one of his primary jobs. He certainly had the talent to do it. Second, though you may be emotionally attached to the Big 12 conference or maybe just scared of the SEC, The decision made by the AD and board of directors makes sense from a financial and recruiting standpoint. It's their job to put the university in the best possible situation and that's what moving to the SEC does whether we like it or not. I actually get the trepidation about moving. I am emotionally attached to the big 12 too, and had learned to hate the constant SEC rhetoric, so I was not a fan initially. However, after looking at it coldly, it does make sense for the reasons I just stated. Third, There is nothing hypocritical about wanting to hire someone back after they have shown significant improvement over a ten year period and been one of the tops in their field. That's what Venables did. Mike Stoops was only getting worse. Fourth, I'm certain you don't really know what "OU fans" think, at least not enough of us to claim to speak for us. We do not think we will be playing Bama, Georgia, LSU and Florida every year. Most of us are smart enough to know how this works. We also know the SEC will have to change how they are organized once we join, so none of us really know who we will play every year. Fifth, While I don't agree with booing college players in general, what exactly does booing Rattler have to do with the defense. There's enough blame to go around and the booing of Rattler was specifically for his poor play, and turnovers. Sixth, We don't think OU has been "so great" on the field (that's been our chief complaint) but we love our university and think they are a very good team and are very close to being great with the right leadership and players. Now, judging from the tone of your post, if you revisit this, I'm sure you will have some choice names to call me too, so fire away. I hope it helps alleviate some of the obvious anger you have towards everyone, but I doubt it.
@@bryanwiley5511 The Board and the AD had nothing to do with the offense. FOR A PLAYER NOT TO KNOW THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME IS WELL RIDICULOUS. Thats on Riley.
@@bryanwiley5511 That was well written my friend. I must be a few years younger than yourself, but I remember the Sooners in the late 70's and 80's and we were a powerhouse. I loved watching Oklahoma and Barry run the option offense(Jamelle Holiday). I think you are spot on in regards to OU not truly being a powerhouse. The defense has been so weak under Alex Grinch. I have written several times praying that we start recruiting 300 pd plus defensive lineman. We can never truly compete against the likes of Bama and the rest of the SEC until we start dominating at the line of scrimmage. So, let me ask you, are you happy about the BV hire? How would you fix OU to make us a more dominate program? I liked your take.
Outstanding show..really enjoyed Rufus Alexander's insights!
Rufus was taking me back, but the 2017 Rose Bowl reference was perfect. As soon as he explained it, I thought "OU would have won the Natty that year if Stoops was the coach". I always felt like Bob stepped down so they wouldn't lose Lincoln, but that was his team. 4th and a foot in OT, when a TD wins the game, and you have the best OL in the country, he would have gone for it.
Rufus is a stand up guy.
BOOMER
SOONER!
I absolutely loved listening to Rufus Alexander dissect, diagnosed and compare/contrast the Riley v Stoops eras of operating the OU football program. It was a very insightful look at "the program"! Thanks for the great show today! Now it make perfect sense why the team struggled this year and were getting progressively worse each year. I understand the drop off the not huge, but definitely noticeable.
So excited that the former players are going to be able to be more involved with this program!! The players are going to benefit from their knowledge and experience! BV is a blessing for this program!
Guys you forgot to put "B#%ch" in between Bob and Brent! The tradition continues!
Haha. That would be great
What are you calling Lincoln Riley?
@@carvanjackson6264 The B Out West! TBOW! I don't say that name anymore! Neither should anymore tru OU fan!
@@BrandonBoomer His parents went to the University of Texas. No way he had crimson and cream in his blood.
Some people just have that "linebacker" name. RUUUUU was definitely one of them! One of the best to ever wear Crimson and Cream!
RUFUS was awesome!!! Great stuff guys. You should have Ru on more often. We need Tommie Harris on now!
Thanks for the consistent awesome content, really enjoy listening to you guys!
BOOMER
Love this podcast gabe and teddy are the best when it comes to podcasts been listening since day one!! Great job calling the smoothie bowl w toby. Gabe it was awesome listening to you guys.
Christmas came early!
I absolutely love you shirt Gabe Ikard!!!!! Bud…Barry….Bob…Brent. Not a lot of people would have seen that the best of the best OU coaches have all had B first names 😂😂😂

I just don’t understand why everyone forgets Bennie Owen. He was the first B.
Awesome I have been waiting for this. Rufus is the f'in man!! Dude is brutally honest and he was definitely not a fan of the previous regime even from the get go.
Hell yeah, I'm pumped. There's no substitute for size, strength, speed and heart. Championships are won before the games are played. Let's dominant the line of scrimmage and smash all challengers.
BOOMER SOONER
Glad to see former players saying what we've been seeing... Lincoln wanted to rely on stars to carry him through and he didn't put any emphasis on heart and tradition.
@@kenthatfr heart and tradition 🤣 great players and coaching wins you championships
Appreciate you guys and the content you provide. Boomer
Rufus has a good head on his shoulders, tells it like it is, good speaking voice
Rufus and show excellent! Following Sooners since ‘68. Scratching my head this year what’s wrong with the Sooners, couldn’t put my finger on it. Stumbled on this program. My eyes are open. You guys guys gave us the lowdown on what to expect down the stretch (BU, IS,OKS), Teddy said if we don’t play better we lose. Gabe breaking down O line play. I’ve learned more in two months 50 years watching OU football!!!
No doubt, love the inside view these guys have of OU Football!
Ruuufus!
One of the best yet fellas. My Christmas wish is for you to have Torrance Marshall on the podcast. Merry Christmas!
Yeah, I would love to see Torrance Marshall on the podcast...can you make this happen?!?
Great show guys! Have a Merry Christmas!
Kanek commited to Clemson on the anniversary of his dad's death, he wanted the date to have a positive memory attached to it. I have a feeling BV's family history growing up, both losing their dad for different reasons, both being linebackers from Kansas. I just feel like there's an attachment just in concept at the very least and you couldn't chase the kid off if you tried. With how Venables stresses relationships, it doesnt surprise me that maybe its exactly that the kid wants.
All these defensive players idolize BV for what he has accomplished especially with the Kansas recruit Isaiah Simmons and they want him to help them to get to that status
Thank you for another video
Keep it up boys. The best OU podcast..period.
We've been cheering for Ted Roof since like '04. Just ask Rufus. For some reason every time he made a play the crowd would cheer for "ROOF!". I finally understand it.
It’s kind of shocking to hear what the changes have been on offensive from an operational standpoint. It sounds like Riley held his knowledge close to his chest and was not as interactive with the other moving components of the offense. A secluded playlist? No pre organized situational plays? Incohesive feedback from position groups? He was the lawyer judge and jury with him being the QB coach, OC, and head coach. Why was this the case? Has this always been the case? Was he doing this intentionally to not share his knowledge wiki with anyone else before he left? So many questions. It makes sense as to why we saw what we saw this season from the offensive
Ruuuuufus!
The fancy corn line will never not make me laugh. 😂
Amazing ou did so well way tbow ran the offense crazy
Love your "Bud Barry Bob Brent" T-shirt 👍🏻

Tulsa fan here!! I know we are not great but when we are on we are on!! We lost our O-line coach Zach Hanson to USC. And we lost our defensive coordinator, Joseph Gillespie to TCU.
Wearing that shirt Gabe says it all 👍🏿
Love the shirt, Gabe! Feel like its missing someone but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Agree with Teddy on a mid-week Christmas. Usually we're still doing family oriented stuff the day after and by having it on a Saturday, that means Sunday you're still doing Christmas stuff and the very next day, Monday, you're either having to take vacation days from work or you're back at work.
1:02:39 - Bingo ... We stopped getting the ball to our playmakers in open space and allow them to make moves. The screens and slants just vanished and it was more about crazy catches down the field.
That coffee is fantastic!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It is truly an amazing thing that happened. OU has a legendary hall of fame coach to come in and calm the waters (after a coach left). We know as a fan base that is not something that they have at our biggest rival school (yoU know which Team I'm Talking aboUT).
Always watched you guys on YT. Found your podcast and finally heard (still not seen) Michael Hosti🤣
Merry Christmas guys!
Ummm....I am watching this on CZcams.
You guys could spend like...5 minutes, setting up a Patreon account and people will give you money.
Nobody is going to email whatever...you can just put a link in the description of this video and people will patreon you.
That is how CZcams works. (Also live streams where people can just click you money during the stream)
*Also, did anybody else notice that you could literally call "the offensive genius" plays, whatever the situation, for like...all of last year?
How many times did he have Caleb throw into triple coverage on third down? Because he had him throw a predictable bomb on every first down? And a running play on second.
We may never know if that was on purpose. But frankly, it was amazing they won any games.
Aranda might has well had LR's play sheet in his pocket. If I knew what play LR was going to call every situation...Aranda (and Gundy) damn well did.
Also too: RUFUS! THE MAN!
No matter how you see it, we need to win this bowl game to take us into the next season.
And so we did. We looked beautiful. Definitely could've done a bit better in the second half, but the first half, and all in all, it was a beautiful game. It's amazing to see the difference in how we played all season versus the bowl game with the change in coaches.
What Gabe just said about players DM'ing him about the offense is shocking and absolutely discouraging to here especially after what we witnessed this year.
Alwats luved Rufus, still do.....
Shirt bought…. Thank you!
Awesome!

I think Bennie should be added to the shirt.
Hey Gabe....Roses are red, violets are blue, Bob is a legend and Venables will be too....:P

Guys I love your show, I really enjoy your information! I've been a Sooner fan since 1990. I hear you guys talk about California, in not so positive light! I'm very proud to be a central Californian. (Farming area) let me catch you up on history. The dust Bowl day okies, arkies, and Texans settled in California. I know what's so big about California, I don't know, how many places can you snow ski, surf, and golf all in the Same day?
I was very proud to get my education and play college golf for Oklahoma city university , however playing college golf in Oklahoma was brutal. 30, 40, 50 mph winds was not easy! I will retire in Oklahoma in about 10 years. Boomer sooner!
Weather is fantastic. Some really cool cities. They just don't care about football as much as we do.
I lived in California, Victorville/Hesperia area. Love the California scenery and lots of friendly people, that was in the early 1990s. Now, the politics of California have ABSOLUTELY RUINED what was once a great place to live...imho.
I just found this podcast during this football season, pretty upset it took me so long haha but does it go all year long? I'll need some sort of Oklahoma football talk during the offseason to get me to next year.
We did it all year this year. Expect to do the same in 2022.
@@OK_Breakdown perfect! Thank you
@@OK_Breakdown Very good, love the program!
I too appreciate this show with Lehman & Ikard, well done fine sits.
Brent did it right unlike the thief in the night Lincoln.
I love that shirt. Just missing one-bit** out west. But super nice sir very nice.

He wasn't a great ou couch though so he not mentioned lol
Discipline and toughness will be the 2 biggest differences between a Riley led OU, and a Venables led OU, the first year. I think after a couple/few years, Defense will be the biggest difference.
Agreed, the defense will be a more attacking, downhill style. As opposed to the bend and don't break, play 8yds off the receiver type defense, lol! Seriously, really like the more aggressive style of defense.
Nice t-shirt Gabe

How does Gabe slight Benny Owens. The coach Owen field was named after ?
We did't design the shirt.
I say the same thing! How do they forget Bennie?
I totally agree with the conditioning to protect them. When I went to basic they told us on day 1 that they were gonna smoke our asses because they had to break us to build us back up to warfighters. We’d spend hours getting smoked and it built us up into a fighting force.
Hate taking an L. Glad you took the L out of your shirt Gabe.
Gabe where can I get that shirt?
I coached a little league team in a league that was a " If you had fun you won" On my work bench i put a sign saying "I WINNING IS NOT EVERTHING THEN WHY ARE WE KEEPING SCORE!!!"

You know this really speaks to how much integrity, honor, and character BV has and how much these young men recognize those traits and demand to play for him.

Roses are red
Violets are black
I sure am glad that Venables is back
I love you two!! Teddy you are the real hero of the Superman play!!! I love Roy but you scored the TD
Sometimes it takes two and yes, grateful for Teddy too.
Teddy cant score without Roys play though. Thats Roys play, Teddy gets the assist
I vote for Teddy on the
defensive side ball to coach
bv have to realize in the near future that he will have to recruit against dabo and clemson for top notch recruits now or later when they join the sec get cracking
Hey Gabe, I guess there is not enough room on your shirt for Bennie.
Didn't design the shirt, Jon. I know who Bennie Owen is.
Most of the OU players want to become NFL caliber atheletes ! Well for those dreams to come true, they had Best Get Tough !! NFL Players are Full Grown Men and they do Not want to Give up Their Spot !!! Young Players Have to Take a Spot if they want a career in the NFL ! Its pretty simple ! Example Cee Dee Lamb ! He morphed into a Beast !! Now the best wide out in the NFL ! Example: DeDe Westbrook, in year two, went from being Ok, into a weapon and runner up in the Heisman ! DeDe also Morphed his body into a faster stronger version of himself !!
Barry Switzer: go get Mike Leach!!!
Nah, I’m good Barry.
Gabe throwing shade on Bennie Owen with that shirt?
That's just ridiculous.
@@OK_Breakdown It was a joke. Obviously I know you love OU, and especially the program. My dry humor doesn't work in print.
Tennessee would be a good fit for Casey Thompson
Yes we approve of your Exit LR! Dont ever come back!!
Michigan learned from last year that COVID 19 is real. Venables is not going to go after Clemson players because he is a man of God, full of integrity, and not willing to steal another program’s sheep. Now if he decides to come on his own, so be it.
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Gabe needs to know that shirt offends some Sooner fans

I am ashamed of Gabe. A graduate of Bishop McGinnis. saying the Lords birthday should celebrated on a day that makes him feel good.
I believe the Lord also said something about judging others, Michael. Relax, man.
The Lord Jesus had a birthday, but it wasn't December 25th. Look at Hebrew History and calendars, you will find His "actual birthday" occurred sometime in September...just sayin, lol!
