For Brent Venables, who is preparing for his first game in the rivalry as a head coach, he hopes the Sooners treat it as any other week on the schedule.

"Hopefully we're not more excited to play this one than somebody else," Venables said at his weekly news conference. "We shouldn't prepare for this game any different we do any other game. And if we are, if I allow that, then I'm not doing a good job of leading. We shouldn't do extra this week or be more committed this week. We should be habitual in how we get ready to play."

This.  Sounds like Mack.  Butterteeth and all.

Yeah Harbaugh used to treat the tOSU game like any other game and look how that turned out. A few years ago he actually made it a priority and it eventually paid off. You can’t treat rivalries like any other game. It sounds nice in theory but it just doesn’t work.

We keep hearing about all the talk focusing on their QB, but what about the RBs and one or two OL that got hurt vs TCU?

I am way less worried about the QB situation if they are out of decent linemen or backs. It doesn’t matter what crack head they put back there if they are screwed at RB and trying to drop back with an aggy level OL.

Coming back to this. Does anyone have anything about the OU side of things with injuries?

BV did a Sark and basically didn't reveal anything about the QBs.  He said 3 QBs practiced, but didn't say which 3 of Gabriel, Booty, Evers and Beville.

Right, but is there anything out there regarding all of the other injuries for the non-QBs? I know they left the TCU game extremely beaten up.

It’s also up to Lebby to put his athletes in a position to succeed with the ladies, consent be damned (allegedly)!

Gabriel was the only QB hurt, but I think the biggest loss for them is Downs.

Jeff Lebby got injured too? BTW, probably not PC to call him by his HS nickname now.

Bowman would be a big loss in 2 facets of the game.  Gray too.

someone on here or twitter yesterday (?) said that the work Gabriel was doing was basically early concussion protocol work so pretty clear it was Booty/Evers/Beville based on that data. not like he is going from basic work while in the protocol on a Monday to practice on a Tue i don't think

Venables announced that Stripling and Major aren't traveling.

From an OU poster on IT yesterday. I think he might be missing a couple others, including Downs

"Let's go down the list of players who went down on Saturday or didn't play:

QB Dillon Gabriel

RB Eric Gray(?)
RB Marcus Major (didn't play)

EDGE R Mason Thomas (didn't play)
EDGE Marcus Stripling (didn't play)

WR Theo Wease (returned)
WR Marvin Mims (returned)

LT Anton Harrison (returned)
RT Wanya Morris

S Billy Bowman
S Damond Harmon

And I'm probably missing some."

Damond Harmon injured his neck and was carted off the field. I can't believe he'd be cleared to play this week.

you have it backwards. They were saying the timeline would mean he could play. 

 

 

If Gabriel plays it’s a slight improvement, but not much. Don’t act like he was setting the world on fire. In the TCU game he was 7/16 for 126, QBR of 25.9 before his decapitation.  Beville was 7/16 for 50, QBR 4.1.

His career will probably end if he plays this Saturday. What a moronic move if so. 

I find it hard to believe he plays in wake of the Tua stuff. But this is OU and they're desperate coming in.

Is this a medically and scientifically designed protocol? Or conveniently created steps made to assure that a player can be ready for the next game?

Same. OU has no shame.

Well, I guess we will just have to end a Sooners career then. Bring it on. 

If the earliest he could practice is Friday, that seems doubtful he'd start the next morning. Not much practice on Friday anyway. But, OU.

Ha, the jokes on him.  No way we can go 11-1 this year.  Already 2 loses.  Chess. 

Of course he'll play. If someone from the future told OU coaches and admin that winning would come at the expense of Gabriel dying on the field, they'd have to think about it.

On the OL, I'm not sure if Wanya Morris missing is a big deal since Guyton started the first few games at RT

Slightly off topic, but wasn't it 2019 when we thought all week that OU was going to be without their two starting tackles and they miraculously became available late in the week and started?

It's tough to gauge the severity of some of injuries when guys went down in the second half because OU was losing by so much that there was little reason for them to go back in. Bowman, Majors and Stripling are the 3 I have my eye on because the last two didn't play last week and Bowman obviously went down early.

Hopefully Bowman plays, only to be trucked by Roschon.

He did? I thought I heard him say they didn’t travel last week due to injury but that he wasn’t commenting on any injuries this week until he has more clarity.

For those into emotional hedges, a moneyline parlay of Oklahoma and aggy winning is about +4200.

Gooners gonna "North Dallas Forty" it with whatever meds/shots they need to get players back on the field to face Texas.

Horns better be prepared to play in a tough game this Saturday -- we've lost the last 4.

Exactly, I wish a lot of y’all would STFU. We haven’t done anything to have that amount of confidence

I couldn't give a fuck less what aggy does if we lose on Saturday. 

Concussion protocols pretty much begin and end around a football week-long schedule. So the tweet is correct that if he is doing well symptoms-wise, Gabriel  won’t actually do much of anything until Friday. Then if he’s still good come Saturday, he plays.  It’s pretty standard - and especially this week.

This is tone deaf. It was an especially bad concussion and there is a media shitstorm right now surrounding an NFL team's handling of their QB resulting in him picking up 2 concussions in 5 days. I understand that we aren't playing on Thursday but acting like this is a run of the mill concussion protocol scenario is silly. The only ones pretending that this is "standard" will be the OU decision makers if he plays. 

Now, does OU give a shit that current concussion protocols at the highest level are being questioned? Probably not. But that's their hill to die on and letting Gabriel play Saturday could wind up getting really, really ugly if OU misses a safety blitz and that kid never plays football again. 

In case anyone hasn't actually seen what happened:

Concussion protocol I guess can differ. I believe most have a baseline test. Then after symptom free must test again. But I guess if you get cleared by Dr you are good to go. Hard to believe he would be able to play just one week after, not sure he would have much practice if any. Plus if no other qb is worth a shit if gets dinged again it could be a completely fucked season. But who knows from those sooner fucks.

Both teams and fans fucking loathe each other. This game will be closer than we want it to be. Look for Lebby to slant us to death. Hopefully Quinn plays and gets up to a 35 point lead in the first half with X having 2 tds, Bijan with 2 tds, and JT with another.

No definitives, but Wanya Morris was in a sling in the second half. Bowman sounds doubtful at this point but not ruled out completely. Their only healthy RB is a true freshman, a couple more injuries along both lines. I lost count honestly. They arent ruling any out but even if these guys try to play they wont be 100%. I dont know their roster very well, but the sheer number of guys who are hurt was pretty eye opening, and if Gabriel plays I would be shocked.

Man you had to bring that up. We have yet to stop many of those. I am glad WVU was throwing behind the receivers or they were dropping those wide open slants. We have been getting killed by those since Bama and PK has not figured it out. It is almost like our corners instead of trying to guide the receiver to the outside so the sideline is used as a extra defender, instead guide them to the inside to give them a shot at the entire field.

A win for Texas is a formality.


So they seem like they suck?

Because that shit didn’t work out 15 years ago the first time and many times in between.

Sorry, superstition is kicking in.
