SPECIAL GUEST: Sooners 5-star QB commit Jackson Arnold talks about his season, rumors surrounding his recruitment, his excitement about getting to Norman soon, 2023 class update/where things stand with certain OU targets Topics Timestamps: 00:00 - Podcast Intro as 2023 5-star QB Jackson Arnold joins Brandon Drumm 03:00 - Arnold talks about his BIG-TIME game against Allen Eagles on Espn 2, on Thursday night, and how his team played as a whole in the 49-7 win. Arnold had more TDs than incompletions that night. He had over 400+ yards of total offense and five TDs. 09:45 - Arnold talks about his Guyer Wildcats and their chances to make their third Division II State Title game in the last four years. Also, Arnold breaks down how they divide the districts into divisions come playoff time. 15:00 - How playing against five-star DB Peyton Bowen, four-star DB Ryan Yaites, and 2024 four-star DB Eli Bowen in spring and fall camp have helped Arnold and his Guyer offense. 23:00 - Arnold talks about when he started playing QB and why he started playing that position. He also talked about how he played on the same little league team as 2023 four-star DL Kayden McDonald when they were seven to ten years old. All before moving to Texas and playing there ever since. Arnold also talks about how he got to know Sooners CB coach/Co-DC Jay Valai when he was playing little league ball. Crazy story when you think about how things played out today. 30:00 - Arnold on his longtime relationship with 2023 four-star DL Kayden McDonald and how the visit went with both in Norman at Kansas game. His thoughts on OU chances to land McDonald. 34:00 - How he takes being the leader and face of the Sooners 2023 class, and how he likes dealing with every recruit and pushing for all the targets to join him in Norman. Can it get to be difficult? Does he embrace it knowing he is the five-star QB and potential face of the program, too, in the future? 36:30 - His relationship with Sooners QB Dillon Gabriel and what his thoughts are on Gabriel returning for 2023 season (assuming that happens), so would that play into things for him or does Arnold think that his a good thing to learn behind Gabriel before he competes for the starting job? 40:00 - Arnold addresses the Notre Dame rumors. He addresses the UGA rumors and talks about how locked in he is with Oklahoma. Arnold also talks about how his Guyer offense is very, very similar to what Jeff Lebby and the Sooners do on offense, with his head coach being GA's with Lebby at Baylor back in the day. The two are very good friends and former roommates, as well. 46:00 - Arnold on what made him choose OU and what else he was looking for in schools. Interesting enough, Arnold says NIL was at the bottom, along with location. His answers were very intriguing and something any fan would be interested to hear. Arnold said, "I can't think of a better fit for me in college football (than OU)." 54:14 - Arnold on his thoughts on the Sooners' 2023 class and what he thinks of its makeup so far. And talks about four-star LB/ATH Tausili Akana. Arnold talks about other players he would like to have in the class. Brought up five-star DL David Hicks and five-star OL Samson Okunlola and more. Also, discusses closeness of the class and his friendship with defensive leader, four-star DL Derrick Leblanc. 1:01:00 - Arnold on his Guyer teammates five-star DB Peyton Bowen, four-star Ryan Yaites and 2024 four-star DB Eli Bowen and his thoughts on them and the Sooners. Also, what do they talk about since they are with each other every day and such close friends? How much of it is recruiting or smack talk about each others schools? 1:06:00 - If Arnold hadn't picked the Sooners, where would he have picked or committed? A certain fan base isn't feeling too lucky after hearing Arnold's answer. He adds there is no way he plays anywhere else than OU (if you see video of interview, you will see a ton of OU stuff in background and more). 1:11:32 - Podcast ends To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Post-Game Podcast: Sooners beat 19th-ranked Jayhawks after Dillon Gabriel's return| Can the defense get back to early season success?| Offense was DOMINANT| Big recruiting visit weekend| Could OU lose a commit soon?  00:00 - Podcast intro 02:00 - Sooners QB Dillon Gabriel is BACK and he made his presence KNOWN with a HUGE day after missing the last 1.5 games! Brandon and Parker talk about how his return might prove he is the most valuable player in college football TO HIS TEAM! His return helped OU put 701-yards on a good defense and the 19th-ranked team in the nation. 10:00 - The defense showed improvement but has so, so much still left to improve upon. Still, big plays were made by CJ Coldon, Dashaun White, and a few others today. How much does getting DG back help the Sooners' defense? We know DG is an offensive guy, but his presence means so much to both sides of the ball. Also, the duo talks about how to take small victories in things after the last three weeks' performances on defense and names young players like Robert Spears-Jennings and R Mason Thomas making a case to be bigger roles. 17:30 - Sooners' offensive line has been good and physical in the OU run game, and Eric Gray and Jovantae Barnes have had some big-time success because of Andrew Raym, Anton Harrison, Wanya Morris, Chris Murray, and McKade Mettauer have been really good on the line of scrimmage. Texas knew all OU could do was run the ball, and still, in the wildcat, the Sooners were moving the ball on Texas some due to OL's physicality. With Gabriel back, it helped even more with the threat of the pass and the fact OU's offensive line has started to "mesh," according to Anton Harrison. Talk a bit about what next year's OL could look like, too. 31:00 - Defensive line has to continue to improve and get WAY better. R Mason Thomas was flashing and causing some problems for KU QB Jason Bean, but there was a lack of QB contain at times and no pass rush from others on the DL to give Bean all day at times. Can't have that and be successful on defense. Others that played well at times were Jalen Redmond, Marcus Stripling, and a few others. 35:00 - How did Brandon and Parker feel the linebackers and defensive backs play? Who and where could there be an improvement? Key Lawrence play adequate? Shuffling of personnel help some? No pass rush hinders the DB's and Brandon and Parker discuss that. 43:00 - Players and Brent Venables talked about resting the players more this past week. How much did that help both physically and mentally on the field today and improve things in the end? They talk about BV quotes on that from post-game presser and dive into how that balance of resting and preparing can co-exist! 49:00 - Brandon and Parker give grades to all positions and overall team grades after the Sooners' 52-42 win over 19th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks. 1:00:00 - Big recruiting weekend with official visitors like four-star EDGE/DE Tausili Akana, four-star DL Kayden McDonald, and four-star DL commit Derrick Leblanc. Also, unofficial visitors like five-star QB commit Jackson Arnold with four-star LSU DB commit Ryan Yaites on campus Saturday. Also, they touch on 2023 four-star DE commit Colton Vasek visiting Texas. 1:14:40 - Podcast ends To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Can Sooners break their losing skid & is there merit to rumors about Sooners' commits looking around?| Big visit weekend| New unis| VIP member Q&A questions answered| MUCH MORE 00:00 - Podcast intro 02:00 - Rumors, rumors, rumors about Sooners' commits. Five-star QB commit Jackson Arnold, four-star DE/EDGE Colton Vasek, and others have rumors swirling, and Brandon and Parker discuss that and more on the recruiting front. Things like a big visit weekend with four-star DL commit Derrick Leblanc, four-star EDGE/LB Tausili Akaka, and four-star DL Kayden McDonald on their official visits. 09:00 - Sooners' commit Erik McCarty impresses Parker he talks about how good he thinks he will be and is right now. And can this 2023 be the program-changing class they are expected to be? 15:00 - Do we expect one of the visitors this week to be in the Sooners' class by NSD? If so, who? What will it take to make that happen? How big will this class be, and will the turnover be like this off-season with Oklahoma? Brandon and Parker talk about "the purge" and how BV is telling people he will help them leave if they don't want to be bought in. 30:00 - How naive were we to not see this coming after last years internal issues on the team and those same players being around still? How could we not see this coming? Brandon and Parker admit their naiveness in all of this, too. 38:00 - If the Sooners lose, can they win another game this year or will they end up 3-9? 41:00 - What young guys do we expect to play a ton this week? Jaren Kanak? Gentry Williams? R Mason Thomas? Who else? Do we expect Kobie Mckinzie or Kip Lewis to redshirt this year still? What other youngsters do we expect to play? 44:00 - On top of youngsters playing, what rumors about players are true and is there anything going on with Theo Wease? 48:00 - We talk OU/KU. Make a prediction on the game. What is our score and do we predict OU to win or lose? Why chose our prediction and more! 51:00 - Answering VIP member questions in our "Air your grievances out" thread where they were allowed to ask whatever and we responded in the thread and tried to answer them on multiple platforms. Several answered in the podcast and members named for their question when we answer them. 1:19:00 - New unis honoring Sooners great Prentice Guatt!

When will the embarrassment stop for Sooners after Texas STOMPS Oklahoma 49-0|Can it be fixed in 2022 season?| Three things that need fixed for OU to win| Recruiting fallout?| MORE Topic Timestamps: 00:00 - Podcast intro before Brandon Drumm and Parker Thune go scorched earth on the Sooners' play vs Texas and where this program is right now! 04:00 - How much worse can it get? Has Brent Venables' team quit already because Parker says it seems to be that way from the field view? No excuses, even without two main key players like Dillon Gabriel and Billy Bowman out. The program had so many bad "first times" in Texas's beating of Oklahoma. 09:00 - Talent (excluding backup QB, as we have seen with Davis Beville) is there, but is this a personnel problem? Is the Sooners' staff not playing the right guys in the right spots? Can this team gain the confidence to make a run? They looked dejected at the post-game podium. What's the issue with this team's football IQ? Examples of ineptness are talked about. 15:50 - Offense... W.T.F? WildWillie (Brayden Willis) and GrayCat (Eric Gray) worked so well between the '20s (20-yard line to 20-yard line), so why get away from it when you're in the red zone? And you lost all newness after halftime to surprise Texas, so why not have a wrinkle or two that isn't a STUPID jump pass? Why go back to Davis Beville? What can OU do offensively when Gabriel comes back? Brandon and Parker discuss how they need to feature Jalil Farooq, Brayden Willis, and Marvin Mims at ALL times they aren't running Gray, Marcus Major, or Jovantae Barnes. Get them out and space, and let those guys go to work! 26:00 - Is this team worn out? Venables talks about it, and Brandon cites a well-placed source that said similar to him last week and went into detail on that. 28:30 - Brandon and Parker name three things on the offense and defense that need fixed NOW for Oklahoma to start getting back on track, if that is possible at all! Names like Jaren Kanak, Gentry Williams, Woodi Washington staying at safety, Kani Walker, CJ Coldon, four-man fronts, or being multiple IF YOU'RE GOING TO CLAIM BEING MULTIPLE! Also, finding a different backup QB like Nick Evers, General Booty? Micah Bowens? 40:00 - Are there some older guys still not buying in or giving their all for this squad? Brandon and Parker discuss. 45:00 - What is this team's identity? Do they have one? How do they get one in mid-season if they don't have one already? And how much of this is personnel on defense and the fact the players were recruited for a different type of defense? Players are talented but look nothing like the players BV had at Clemson. 51:00 - Recruiting fallout? Is there one? Brandon and Parker talk over/under on two decommits. Answer may shock some and may shock others, but they break it down. The Colton Vasek rumors discussed. 56:40 - Will there be a change in how things are done? Could OU change some things up on the defensive side? Will BV take over full control of the defense? If there is a "fall guy," who will that be? 1:06:24 - Podcast over To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

PostGame: TCU takes Sooners to woodshed 55-24, so how does Venables and his staff fix this problem?  TimeStamps: 00:00 - The podcast starts and Brandon and Parker go off right from the get-go. 03:00 - Dillon Gabriel and Damond Harmon injury updates 05:00 - Brandon and Parker are at a loss for words when it comes to talking about what they witnessed vs TCU. 07:00 - Should OU look to a four-man front instead of a three-man front? Brandon discusses personnel with Isaiah Coe, Jalen Redmond, Kelvin Gilliam, and others playing the interior defensive line. And he asks when they start playing Jaren Kanak more. When will they start to give players like Robert Spears-Jennings a look at safety? What about the younger players in general and giving them a look to see what they can bring to the table on Saturdays? 11:00 - Injuries, injuries, injuries... 13:00 - Parker calls his shot and says this about OU performance the rest of the year (listen to hear his prediction)... How can you recruit so many four and five-star players and struggle like this? And the question is asked if the Sooners lack of intricate defense under Grinch causes the in-depth playbook of Venables' defense to be too vast for some? 18:00 - Dillon Gabriel looked to be pressing and his passes looked high and too far on multiple occasions, so did a certain sect of fans going after him (unjustly vs Kstate, according to Brandon and Parker) cause him to have some added pressure that he put upon himself. Or, did the moment put pressure on him? Either way, that was rough to watch before he was cheapshot with the targeting hit. 23:30 - TCU followed Kstate blueprint vs OU with a lot of six man lines on offense ( leaving TE in). How can OU combat that moving forward, because if they don't, it's going to be a long year. And can playing the younger guys help in multiple facets? R Mason Thomas return make a difference? Gracen Haltom? Jaren Kanak? Robert Spear-Jennings good enough yet? Something has to give and soon! 34:00 - Recruiting aftermath with the losses? Does the 2023 class feel that BV will fix things when they arrive? Before? What have we heard so far? What about five-star QB Jackson Arnold? Four-star DE Colton Vasek? Others? 41:00 - Does the residual effect of previous defensive regime's cause the defense to have some PTSD type reaction when things start to go bad? Big play given up and then say, "here we go again." And then things just continue to avalanche? 46:00 - Brandon starts to name where all of the starters were ranked coming out of high school. It's impressive, but also very concerning that OU has this much trouble with this much talent, no matter who the DC is or who is running the defense. Mike Stoops. Alex Grinch. And last two games, Brent Venables. 51:00 - Off the cuff final record predictions from Brandon and Parker. They don't feel it's set in stone, but it's plausible. 55:00 - Final thoughts from Brandon and Parker. 1:03:29 - The podcast ends To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
