    Re: Spring Game

    Seeing AD honored on the field was AWESOME. Worth going to the game to see that. Thought our defense looked better today. It is great to watch football again even if it is a scrimmage.

    Re: Spring Game

    The 45 minute Autograph session was a hit with my kids. Landry, Jaz Hands, Kendall Thompson, Blake Bell, lots of the new RS and Freshman. I'll have to take a look later to see who all signed their stuff. Very cool that the University and the players agreed to do that for the Kids that really look up to them.

    The Boy got lots of signatures and some pics with some of the Players. I like this one and another one that he got with #72 Derek Farniak who is like 6'9".

    It was 21-21 and we got the extra point so Defense only lost because they didn't block the kick....

    why did you bother with Jaz since you hate him so much?

    Your kid looks like a future lineman for sure. Proud papa

    Re: Spring Game

    Highs:
    Trey Metoyer - good hands, good feet, good size. Going to contribute a lot
    Taylor McNamara - This guy is going to be a freaking stud for us. Awesome hands, used his body well to shield receptions, and ran pretty good routes from what I could tell. If he can block some we will be golden for a while, but until then running on the edge may be a bit dicey.
    OL - Looked clean, gave the QBs time, and opened some running lanes. I couldn't tell who was on who most of the time because I suck and haven't memorized all the numbers again. Still, they looked good to me.
    Defense looked like they were in the right position 99% of the time.

    Lows:
    Slipping on our own field. Really?
    LBs look small and timid, still. That may change with some summer and fall work, though. Still lots of time.
    Jevon Harris. Well... he was at least in position on the deep ball he gave up. He also laid the lumber to Franks once, which was nice...

    I don't think you can take much from this game, but it was nice to see the kids suit up and have fun out there. They all looked a little tired, though. I think the storms and lack of depth took their toll. The crowd was small, too, so I think that impacted the intensity level.

    I think it's obvious how much more comfortable Bell looks in the pocket. He made some bad throws, but nothing near as bad as in games last year. He also made some seriously nice throws, so he has a huge upside. Honestly, though, I think every QB we have could win us 9 games this year. They all look like they can make the throws, and have a ton of talent around to make plays for them.

    I guess I'll have to get my kids to hate him just for you Marty.

    I'm not sure if he'll be a lineman but his BF's Dad was 6'11" and that little boy is 10 years old and 5'6' and headed towards 200 and thank God he's a nice kid because if he wasn't, he'd be a handful by the time he's 14. We will see how it goes. They both like sports.

    Nope. We were on the run all morning. He was supposed to have a soccer game and it was cancelled due to the field still being soft. I didn't hear anyone crowing about it either. After the Game we headed to Saltgrass. Good food. Over Priced.

    Re: Spring Game

    I heard from a former player back in January that OU might go without names on the jerseys again in 2012. Noticed today no one had names on the jerseys. Maybe Stoops is treating some of last year's attitude and entitlement issues the same way he did with the 2006 team? Anywho... that's an off-season question to ponder.

    Metoyer is great with the media and seems to have a great attitude toward the game. Reynolds looks like he's going to be able to build on last year's performance. Lots of guys were held out either due to injury or due to Stoops pulling them early. Not a surprise. Happens every year. Landry's a four-year starter... there's not much he needs to show in regards to reading defenses and calling this offense that is basically designed to Landry Jones's abilities.

    A lot will be said for Kenny Stills in the coming months IMO. He's suffering from the Ryan Broyles comparisons the way Landry's suffering from the Sam Bradford comparisons. He reminds me a LOT of Travis Wilson. People had super high hopes for TW, and injuries, QB play and not having Mark Clayton on the field "exposed" TW as a good player, but not the dominant one everyone wanted him to be in 2005. Just when I watch film, that's excatly who he reminds me of. It's extremely difficult to be Ryan Broyles or Mark Clayton... that's why those guys were up for National honors multiple times. I still think KS will be used a lot, but would not be surprised to see him passed on the depth chart by Metoyer or Reynolds. Then again, sometimes things change. Who knew Landry Jones would start 11 games in 2009? Who knew Paul Thompson would has as good or better numbers as a Heisman winner in 2006 in say... April 2006? Who knew Adrian Peterson would finish second in the Heisman Trophy race as a true freshman in say... April 2004?

    Bold predictions:
    1. Metoyer is going to live up to the hype. A different type of player than Broyles was, but will be a dominant player.
    2. Base offense will be the pistol formation with Millard playing TE instead of FB due to TE youth and inexperience.
    3. Allen and Bell will still be 2A and 2B as far as the coachspeak is concerned, but Bell will be first off the bench if needed.
    4. One of Durron Neal or Sterling Shepard will be used on special teams and possibly worked onto the field as a slot WR in 2012... maybe both. Returns specialists are lacking still and OU likes having a slot WR to keep the corners honest as we don't typically run dominantly without a true playmaker ala Q, AD or DM.
    "One has to wonder about the structural integrity of the Vintage Cotton Bowl the last 14 years. There's been a lot of weight on that Oklahoma side."

    I can see Mike and Jay getting into a fight for Neal. The guy tackles nicely (in a great way), has fluid hips, has speed, and covers well. Same for Shepard but his highlight film didn't give as many defensive plays as Durron's video (14+ minutes). Both guys are too talented not to see the field as true frosh. Maybe OU has a future 1st round CB(s) from these two.
