OU football's new quarterback John Mateer is handling the Baker Mayfield comparisons and lofty expectations like a pro. normantranscript.com/sports/how-joh…
Antique shopping in Norman and the lone sports memorabilia item is a Mark Jackson card. Yes THAT Mark Jackson card.
22 days. New record.
If you’re keeping track, the “hard cap” era of rev share/NIL lasted 22 days. Now the collectives can provide “soft cap” above the 20.5M as long as they have enough cover in their deals to meet “fair market value.” (Ie $5,000 for a transaction instead of $50,000)
Brent Venables was asked about the TE room by @ParkerThune, and he brought up Bauer Sharp. “I know we had some opinions about Bauer Sharp — that he wasn’t a really good player. He’s a really good player, everybody will see it.” Also mentioned Kaden Helms’ growth.
It’s Q&A time here at a Night with Nagy. The first question asked if Nagy had a magic wand and could make college football however he’d like, what would he do? Jim: “We’d play Oklahoma State and Nebraska every year.” *crowd loudly approves*

Paul Finebaum, totally unprompted, WENT AFTER Lincoln Riley today on the Dari Nowkhah Show. “I can’t think of anyone whose coaching has been more fraudulent.”
The #Sooners have announced their search committee for their next AD.
Baker Mayfield on John Mateer: “I think there are some similarities in our game, just by the way he carries himself. You can tell leadership goes a long way with him. I love that and I’m excited he came in and we’ll see what happens, but it’s exciting.”
I wonder who arrived at the Baker Mayfield football camp.

Brent Venables mentioned in his second media session that the #Sooners tried to retain Jackson Arnold, but he understandably wanted a fresh start. “He had no chance in some ways under the circumstances,” said Venables of Arnold’s play in 2024.
Jackson Arnold took the stage today at SEC Media Days and spoke plenty about his former team. #Sooners normantranscript.com/sports/what-au…
Mateer over Arch? Per @JRodgers11. Mateer like Baker Mayfield? Per @GregMcElroy. Lots of buzz about #Sooners new qb and more from first day of SEC Media Days. OU will speak Wednesday. normantranscript.com/sports/john-ma…
H/T to @BrodyLusk for the note... True freshmen lead the way for the #Sooners when it comes to weight gain since the spring. TE Trynae Washington up 15 pounds to 248 DT Trent Wilson up 13 pounds to 307 CB Trystan Haynes up 12 pounds to 185 RB Tory Blaylock up 11 pounds to 203
Braum's? Loves? Both? I think those are the only options.
Paycom will give up naming rights when OKC’s new $900M arena opens in 2028. The Thunder will stay at Paycom Center for 3 more seasons. Full details and statements from Paycom + Thunder: news9.com/story/68757c0b…
Per the #Sooners' updated roster, Cal transfer RB Jaydn Ott will wear No. 0 for the Sooners. That number had previously been assigned to freshman WR Manny Choice, who has switched to No. 21.
