I'm pretty happy with OU's schedule. It's mostly pretty favorable for us and I think we should have a pretty high chance of making the playoffs if Trevor Knight plays even remotely close to his Sugar Bowl performance.

Biggest question marks are Texas, Baylor, and at Tech. At WVU is a huge trap game as well.

OU backup QB Kendal Thompson is transferring. Just one step closer to the Baker Mayfield show.

e: He's graduating in May so he could start somewhere next year as a grad student I believe

Probably more appropriate for the draft thread or the NFL off-season thread, but I caught this in D&D and it legit brought tears to my eyes. I've never had the good fortune of catching the local news in Dallas, but this guy's a goddamn hero:

Dale Hansen, Dallas sportscaster, weighs in on Micheal Sam of Missouri.

Dale Hansen really owns. I grew up watching him on the news.

Nice. Something needs to be done to improve the atmosphere at Texas games. poo poo is somewhere between sad and infuriating. The fact that we haven't beaten a ranked opponent in Austin since 2008 probably has a lot to do with it, but man it is a dismal scene over there.

Word is that Patterson recently brought in Disney to consult on improvements to the stadium experience, which sounds silly, but if you've ever been to a Disney park you know they are on a whole other level when it comes to creating settings where every detail is carefully thought out and calculated to enhance the experience. I'd be very interested to know what they suggested.

I wrote a big rear end paper for a law and college athletics seminar class I took in law school that in part argued that athletes should be treated as employees so I'm kinda excited to read that ruling.

This is essentially identical to what Henry Beach Needham was reporting about college football in the Summer of 1905 in his "The College Athlete (Part I) (Part II)" expose. This has been an issue since the dawn of college football, and I don't know any way around it short of federal legislation creating a new governing body with real investigative and subpoena power, along with federal statutes making these sorts things explicitly illegal rather than merely unethical.

The NCAA was created to try and rein it in, but it is woefully inadequate to the task.

You must've really enjoyed reading that fresh off the newsstand.

Yeah, that's where I was going with that - if he does get reinstated, he'll probably get kicked off the team before he ever catches a pass so.

also Maryland has had the worst drat luck with injuries and I'm just going to blame Edsall because gently caress Edsall

Apparently Oklahoma is opening up 2016 at Houston in the Advocare Texas Kickoff. It's awesome that UH can still schedule P5 teams, and it will be John O'Korn's senior year and probably the best chance the AAC will ever get to getting a team in the playoffs, but why is OU not opening at home?

As both an OU and UH fan, this should be fun.
