    Everybody say a silent prayer that nobody gets injured (especially during the Oklahoma Drill)

    Re: 2014 Pre-season Practice

    First practice held today at 5:45 am. Was scheduled for the rugby fields, but moved indoors due to weather.

    The first two (or three) practices are un-padded (helmet only).

    I kinda think Mike Stoops "normal" blood pressure is high, and when it's the offseason he doesn't feel right because it's lower than normal:

    I love this picture:



    SoonerSports has a practice report video: LINK.

    That'd be a good caption (damn, why didn't I think of that?!).

    I haven't heard about any no-shows other than Mixon and incoming freshman Vontre McQuinnie (finishing summer school).

    Didn't update the past few days, but in case you missed it, the Sooners had media day on Saturday and practice. The team was off Sunday, and started up again today with pads!

    Blake Bell and Geneo Grissom (Oklahoma Drill). SoonerSports has a video of this (Bell did a good job of blocking on this one)

    Samaje Perine


    The rest of the pictures from today's practice are here.
    Video of the Bell v. Grissom Oklahoma drill here.

    or maybe he's actually doing a badass job. watching that viedo of him against Geneo shows how big and strong he actually is. the dude's a hoss. this might end up being the best place for him. I for one am optimistic
    this is bull****

    8x, or anyone else. This mixon stuff bores me now because we don't have new info. What's the rumpus with flowers, Ford, Ross, grissom? Read a great article bout grissom, 6'4 252 and "off the chain" according to kish. anyone see any new guys that will put us over the top?

    Re: 2014 Pre-season Practice

    Bell was an All-State WR up here before he made the move to QB. It's not a stretch to think he can do well @ TE, provided of course, he gets the new blocking assignments/techniques down.

    I've heard that Flowers is playing like he's an upperclassman. Everything I've read seems to back that up too. He's going to be a major contributor at TE/FB, and will probably share time with Ripowski.

    The word on Ross and Ford is that they are practicing like it's a competition (as it should be). I haven't heard of either taking the lead, as they're both playing well. Surprisingly, I've heard more about Derrick Brooks in the last couple of days than either Ross or Mixon. He (Brooks) is a completely different runner, and is hard to corral.

    Grissom is very athletic and has taken to the OLB position well. He mentioned that he's still working hard on learning/developing his coverage technique, but I don't think there will be a ton of times that he'll be asked to cover. I think the light came on for him late last year, and he's been a difference maker since.

    There are a couple of more guys I heard info on:

    Dwayne Orso - I was told that "he'll definitely play this year". That surprised me a little. I know he is a fan favorite (when he was being recruited), but I thought he was a year away.

    Tyler Evans - Playing as well as he ever has, and the O-line is going to be as good as expected.


    That's about all of the "super secret source" information I have. The person I used to get really good info from has taken a job at another school (which sucks, because he was a good source). The above info is more second-hand stuff.

    That's music to my ears - especially added to the raised expectation of the D-line. Win in the trenches and you'll rarely lose on the scoreboard.

    It is pure speculation to assume the tight end group is terrible based on hearsay of Bell starting. However, it is terrible word usage by choosing 'are' for our.

    McNamara looked plenty good in the spring game. I think he caught 2 TD's. I think we'll be alright at that position.
