      <title>NFL DRAFT RECAP: SOONERS GET PAID  Landing Spots, Steals &amp; Sleeper Hits!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION… YOU ALREADY KNOW THE VIBES.</strong></p>
<p>The <span><span>2026 NFL Draft</span></span> is in the books, and Oklahoma showed up in a big way—sending a loaded class of seven Sooners into the league, tying its largest draft haul since 2022. From R Mason Thomas landing with the <span><span>Kansas City Chiefs</span></span> to a wave of Day 3 steals and intriguing undrafted signings, Casey breaks down where each Sooner landed, which fits could turn into serious NFL impact, and why this class might be flying under the radar nationally.</p>
<p>But as the draft dust settles, reality creeps in… the long offseason drought is officially here. Don’t worry—Casey’s got you covered with a countdown to kickoff, a look ahead at the next wave of NFL-bound Sooners (and the NIL factor that could shake it all up), plus a quick tour through the sports landscape to help pass the time… even if we all know nothing hits like Oklahoma football.</p>
<p>From future stars to present pride, this episode keeps Sooner Nation locked in, fired up, and counting down the days until September.</p>

      <title>OU Football STOCK UP  Spring Practice, QB Growth &amp; BIG Program Energy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION… I AM CASEY MALLON AND YOU ARE NOW IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND!</strong></p>
<p>Spring has officially sprung in Norman, and you can feel it—Sooner football is BACK. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the electric return of spring ball as Oklahoma hits the practice field, the countdown to the Spring Game is ON, and the hype is building with every rep, every route, and every snap flooding social media. From the trenches to the skill positions, the energy around this team feels different… and Sooner Nation is here for ALL of it.</p>
<p>But let’s talk about what has everyone buzzing—<strong>Jason Witten coaching up the tight ends.</strong> Yes, THAT Jason Witten. One of the greatest to ever do it now pouring knowledge into a position that’s needed a spark? That’s not just big…that’s program-shifting. Add in high-level recruiting momentum, and suddenly OU becomes a no-brainer destination for elite tight end talent. It’s another sign that something special is building in Norman.</p>
<p>We also take a real look at quarterback <strong>Mateer</strong>—a guy who went through the fire last season. From handling the pressure of being “the guy” at Oklahoma to battling through a broken thumb on his throwing hand, he showed toughness, grit, and leadership. It wasn’t always pretty, but it was gritty—and now? The reports out of spring practice say he’s putting in the work and leveling up. If that’s true, Sooner Nation could be looking at a major leap heading into 2026.</p>
<p>On the hardwood, we unpack the frustration of men’s basketball getting left out of March Madness despite a late-season surge—and why keeping Porter Moser might be the right move, especially with new AD Roger Denny promising to elevate resources, NIL, and overall program support. The future of OU hoops may be brighter than it feels right now.</p>
<p>We also hit:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>OU women’s basketball’s strong run and back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>March Madness chaos, insane comebacks, and Final Four storylines</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>The Sooners heading to Vegas for the College Basketball Crown</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>And of course… some real-life talk—daylight savings struggles, Easter candy debates, and why kids these days have it WAY too easy</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is all about <strong>momentum</strong>—football, basketball, and the entire Oklahoma program trending upward. The vibes are high, the expectations are rising, and Sooner Nation is LOCKED IN.</p>

      <title>Sooners Coaching Shakeup: 3 Major Hires That Could Change Everything</title>

<hr />
<h3>THREE Coaches Out. THREE Big-Time Replacements In.</h3>
<p>This “offseason” hasn’t been an offseason at all. It’s been another nonstop Oklahoma news cycle — and we break down every move.</p>
<p>After losing:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong><span><span>Jay Valai</span></span></strong> to the NFL (Buffalo Bills)</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong><span><span>DeMarco Murray</span></span></strong> to the Kansas City Chiefs</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Jo Jon Finley moving on</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Head coach <strong><span><span>Brent Venables</span></span></strong> didn’t blink.</p>
<p>Instead, he reloaded.</p>
<p><strong><span><span>Jason Witten</span></span></strong> takes over the tight ends room.<br /><strong><span><span>Lamar Morgan</span></span></strong> arrives from Michigan to lead the defensive backs.<br />And now — the big one — <strong><span><span>Deland McCullough</span></span></strong> replaces Murray as running backs coach.</p>
<p>We break down:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>Why McCullough’s NFL pedigree (including a Super Bowl title with Kansas City) matters.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>What this means for OU’s run game after failing to produce a 1,000-yard back since Eric Gray.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Whether the criticism of Murray was fair — or misplaced.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>How BV is reshaping this program with precision and purpose.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For losing three prominent coaches in one cycle… this might be Venables’ best offseason coaching performance yet.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Chiefs, Murray & The Bigger Picture</h3>
<p>Murray now joins <strong><span><span>Kansas City Chiefs</span></span></strong>, working alongside <strong><span><span>Patrick Mahomes</span></span></strong> in an effort to revive a rushing attack that ranked 24th in the NFL last season.</p>
<p>We unpack:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>Why Kansas City made this move.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>What OU fans should <em>really</em> think about Murray’s legacy.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>And whether this was inevitable.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>The Joe C Era Ends. The Roger Denny Era Begins.</h3>
<p>Oklahoma transitions from longtime AD Joe Castiglione into a new chapter under Roger Denny. What does it mean for facilities, NIL, long-term SEC positioning, and OU’s national brand? We connect the dots.</p>
<hr />
<h3>NFL Combine & Pro Day Preview</h3>
<p>Ten former Sooners are headed to the NFL Combine. We spotlight:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>The prospects with the most to gain.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why Pro Day could be massive for certain under-the-radar players.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>And why this draft cycle matters for OU’s national perception.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>THE SPRING GAME IS BACK</h3>
<p>Mark it down: <strong>Saturday, April 18th.</strong></p>
<p>The full Spring Game returns.</p>
<p>After last year’s fan-fest experiment, Sooner Nation gets what it’s been craving — real football in Norman. With elite talent returning and expectations sky-high following a College Football Playoff heartbreak, this spring will set the tone for 2026.</p>
<p>This is the first real taste of what could be a championship-caliber roster.</p>
<p>And we are READY.</p>

      <title>Chaos, Controversy &amp; Crimson: Why Oklahoma Is Still Ahead of the Curve</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION — YOU’RE OFFICIALLY IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND.</strong></p>
<p>This episode is an <strong>emotional roller coaster</strong>, a <strong>reality check</strong>, and a <strong>shot of optimism</strong> all wrapped into one wild Sooner night. We open with an instant classic (and near-disaster) in <strong>OU men’s hoops</strong>, snapping a brutal 9-game losing streak in the most Oklahoma way possible — panic, hope, dread, relief, and just enough chaos to leave your heart rate spiked. Is it too late for Porter Moser? What does “winning” even look like in today’s fully transactional college basketball landscape? We don’t dodge the tough questions — and we don’t sugarcoat the answers.</p>
<p>From there, we pivot straight into <strong>major Oklahoma football news</strong> that every Sooner fan needs to understand. The NCAA’s baffling denial of <strong>Owen Heinecke’s eligibility appeal</strong> sparks a bigger conversation about fairness, loopholes, and the broken system governing college athletics. We break down what this means for OU, for players across the country, and why this situation perfectly captures everything that’s gone sideways with eligibility rules.</p>
<p>Then comes the staff shake-up — <strong>Jay Valai heads to the NFL</strong>, opening one of the most coveted defensive coaching jobs in the country. Is OU worried? Short answer: no. The talent pipeline is loaded, recruiting momentum remains strong, and the Sooners are positioned to reload, not rebuild.</p>
<p>And finally… the <strong>big picture win</strong>. Oklahoma makes a forward-thinking, future-proof hire at Athletic Director, signaling once again that this program is <strong>ahead of the curve</strong>. With legal minds, business minds, NFL connections, NIL strategy, and long-term vision all aligning, the Sooners are building something bigger than just next season. Add in new NFL-tied staff hires, Super Bowl Sooner representation, and a program that continues to mirror the pro model — and yeah… there’s plenty to be excited about.</p>
<p>This is <strong>real talk</strong>, <strong>deep analysis</strong>, and <strong>pure Sooner passion</strong> — no fluff, no hot takes for clicks, just the truth from someone who lives it.</p>

      <title>Sooners Win the Offseason: Returning Stars, Portal Battles &amp; Championship Outlook</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION…</strong><br />I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong> — and you are officially <strong>IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND</strong>.</p>
<p>The long, strange trip of the college football season is finally in the rearview mirror, a <strong>first-time national champion has been crowned</strong>, and the offseason storylines are already hitting at full throttle. But before we look ahead, this episode brings <strong>MASSIVE news for Oklahoma football</strong> — the kind of news that changes the entire trajectory of Team 132 and beyond.</p>
<p><strong>THE ANCHORS ARE BACK.</strong><br />Quarterback <strong>John Mateer</strong> — the engine of the offense — and linebacker <strong>Kip Lewis</strong> — the quarterback of the defense — are officially returning to Norman. That’s leadership. That’s continuity. That’s championship DNA. Mateer’s playoff run, Heisman-level start, and toughness through injury paired with Lewis’ dominance on one of the nation’s best defenses gives the Sooners a foundation every program in America envies.</p>
<p>And the good news doesn’t stop there…</p>
<p>We break down the growing list of <strong>Sooners choosing stability over the portal</strong>, including Isaiah Sategna, Tory Blaylock, Courtland Guillory, David Stone, Jayden Jackson, Ace Hodges, Ben Anderson — and the return of <strong>Ivan Carreon</strong>, a 6’6 weapon with serious upside who flashed big-game potential in the Armed Forces Bowl. We’ll dive even deeper into portal additions later this offseason, but today is about one thing: <strong>retention matters — and OU is winning that battle.</strong></p>
<p>Plus, we recap the College Football National Championship as the <strong>Indiana Hoosiers complete a perfect 16-0 season</strong>, defeating Miami 27-21, and we react to the final AP Top 25. And yes… we’re already looking ahead to <strong>next year’s title game in Las Vegas</strong> — Sin City, the Death Roomba, and college football’s biggest stage colliding.</p>

      <title>Oklahoma Lands Jason Witten | CFP Semis Go Nuclear &amp; Title Game Preview</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION!</strong><br />I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong>, and you are officially <strong>IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND</strong>.</p>
<p>Before we dive in — <strong>SMASH that SUBSCRIBE button</strong> on <strong>Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon Music</strong>, and <strong>YouTube</strong> so you never miss an episode. New OU football content, college football playoff breakdowns, and elite-level analysis every week.</p>
<p><em>Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride… nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile…</em></p>
<hr />
<p>The <strong>Sooner State of Mind family</strong> is eating GOOD on this episode.</p>
<p>We kick things off with <strong>massive Oklahoma Sooners football news</strong> as OU officially hires <strong>Dallas Cowboys legend Jason Witten</strong> as the new <strong>tight ends coach</strong>, replacing Joe Jon Finley. We break down <strong>why this move matters</strong>, what Witten brings from an <strong>NFL résumé that speaks for itself</strong>, and how his leadership, character, and football IQ align perfectly with <strong>Brent Venables’ vision</strong> for the program. From player development to recruiting cachet, this hire has the potential to change the way OU uses the tight end position moving forward.</p>
<p>Then we shift to the <strong>College Football Playoff Semifinals recap</strong>, starting with an <strong>absolute Fiesta Bowl classic</strong> between <strong>Miami and Ole Miss</strong>. Four fourth-quarter lead changes, elite quarterback play, controversial officiating, explosive young stars, and a finish that came down to the final seconds — we break it ALL down. Was it pass interference? Did Ole Miss get robbed? And yes… we address the Lane Kiffin factor.</p>
<p>Next up — the <strong>Peach Bowl beatdown</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Indiana vs Oregon</strong> was not just a win… it was a <strong>statement</strong>. The Hoosiers looked like a <strong>fully operational machine</strong>, dominating from the opening pick-six to the final whistle. We talk <strong>Fernando Mendoza’s ridiculous playoff run</strong>, Curt Cignetti’s culture, Indiana’s NFL-level discipline, and why this team may be the <strong>most complete squad in college football right now</strong>.</p>
<p>All of that sets the stage for the <strong>College Football Playoff National Championship Preview</strong>:<br /><strong>Miami Hurricanes vs Indiana Hoosiers</strong> at the Hard Rock.</p>
<p>We break down the <strong>matchups</strong>, the <strong>Vegas spread</strong>, what Miami must do to pull the upset, and why Indiana looks like a team on an absolute mission. Physicality, execution, discipline — this game has it all. Plus, ticket prices, atmosphere, and why Monday night is going to be <strong>electric</strong>.</p>

      <title>Playoff Chaos, Portal Moves &amp; Why Oklahoma Isn’t Far Off at All</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION…</p>
<p>I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong>, and you are officially back in <strong>a SOONER STATE OF MIND</strong>.</p>
<p>The portal is WIDE open, the NIL landscape is shifting under everyone’s feet, and Oklahoma football is at the center of it all. In this episode, we break down the <strong>21 Sooners currently in the transfer portal</strong>, including a few names that absolutely raised eyebrows—and we dig into the uncomfortable but very real truth of today’s game: <em>getting paid now means you have to earn it</em>. The Sooners learned that lesson the hard way with the <strong>Jaydn Ott situation</strong>, and going forward, every NIL dollar is going to come with expectations and accountability.</p>
<p>We dive deep into <strong>OU’s biggest roster needs</strong>, starting with a tight end room that—let’s be honest—has been a liability for far too long. From the departure of <strong>Joe Jon Finley</strong> to the possibility of fresh blood (and fresh ideas) at the position, we talk about why tight end production—<em>at least in blocking</em>—is no longer optional in the SEC. And yes, we give flowers to <strong>Jaren Kanak</strong>, who somehow became the most productive tight end on the roster after starting the year at linebacker.</p>
<p>It’s also a big-picture episode. We zoom out and talk about <strong>Nagy’s first full offseason as GM</strong>, why this staff is better positioned than people realize, and why—despite a frustrating ending—this team <strong>overachieved</strong> against a brutal schedule. A broken-thumb quarterback weeks before Texas, 10 wins, a playoff game, and hosting postseason football in Norman? If you offered that in August, you’d take it every single time.</p>
<p>From there, we jump into the <strong>Rose Bowl recap</strong>, Indiana’s rise from “afterthought” to <strong>national title contender</strong>, and the absolute meltdown happening across college football fandom. Notre Dame tears, Texas flexing a Cheez-It Bowl, BYU outrage, playoff expansion chaos—it’s all on the table. And yes, we talk about why <strong>playoff byes should come with home-field advantage</strong>, because momentum matters.</p>
<p>This one’s passionate. It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. And it’s very, very Sooner.</p>

      <title>Catastrophic Mistakes &amp; Crimson Pain: How Oklahoma Let It Slip away vs Alabama</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION…</strong><br />I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong>, and <strong>you are now in a SOONER STATE OF MIND</strong>.</p>
<p>In this episode of <em>Sooner State of Mind</em>, we break down one of the most heartbreaking, gut-punch losses of the season as Oklahoma lets a golden opportunity slip away against Alabama — not because of effort, not because of heart, but because of a brutal series of <strong>catastrophic mistakes at the worst possible moments</strong>.</p>
<p>The Sooners jumped out early, controlled the game, and had everything right in front of them — but a dropped touchdown, a muffed punt, missed kicks, miscommunication, and a pick-six flipped the script in a matter of minutes. What started as a dominant OU performance turned into a night where <strong>special teams betrayed one of the team’s biggest strengths</strong>, momentum vanished, and a championship-caliber defense was put in impossible positions.</p>
<p>We talk through:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>The exact moment the game changed</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>The sequence of mistakes that compounded into disaster</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Questionable officiating that didn’t help — but wasn’t the reason</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why this loss hurts <em>more</em> than most</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>How this season still shattered preseason expectations</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why Oklahoma proved the “experts” wrong all year long</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>What the transfer portal means for the Sooners’ 2026 outlook</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>The reality of the current College Football Playoff format — and why expansion is inevitable</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Despite the heartbreak, this team fought. They got off the mat all season long. They battled through injuries, a brutal schedule, and relentless doubt — and that matters. <strong>Ride or die means ride or die</strong>, and this program is still trending in the right direction.</p>
<p>We also hit the national picture from the weekend, the flawed playoff structure, and why better teams are being left out — setting the stage for major changes ahead in college football.</p>
<p><strong>If you live and breathe Oklahoma football, this is an episode you do NOT want to miss.</strong></p>

      <title>Red November Reloaded: Oklahoma vs Alabama | CFP Rematch in Norman</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP, SOONER NATION?!</strong><br />I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong>, and you are officially locked into <strong>a SOONER STATE OF MIND</strong>.</p>
<p>We are <strong>five days away</strong> from Oklahoma playoff football, and the hype is REAL. In this must-listen episode, we set the table for a massive <strong>College Football Playoff first-round showdown</strong> as the <strong>#8 Oklahoma Sooners (10-2)</strong> host the <strong>#9 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-3)</strong> on <strong>Friday, December 19th in Norman</strong>. The Tide may be slight favorites, but don’t forget — <strong>OU already walked into Tuscaloosa in Red November and walked out with a 23–21 win</strong>, snapping Alabama’s 17-game home winning streak.</p>
<p>Before we dive headfirst into OU vs Bama, we take care of some big-time Sooner business:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>“Tate the Great” Sandell</strong> brings home the <strong>Lou Groza Award</strong>, capping one of the greatest kicking seasons in Oklahoma history</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>A look at Sandell’s clutch kicks vs <strong>Michigan, Tennessee, and Alabama</strong> — distance <em>and</em> moment matter</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Brent Venables calling Sandell the <strong>MVP of the Tennessee win</strong> — and he wasn’t wrong</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We also touch on the wider college football landscape:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>The increasingly tragic <strong>Michigan situation</strong> and what it means for the program, the portal, and <strong>Bryce Underwood’s future</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman Trophy</strong>, becoming Indiana’s first-ever winner and leading the Hoosiers to the CFP as the No. 1 seed</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Could Oklahoma see Mendoza and Indiana in Pasadena? One step at a time…</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Then it’s full focus on <strong>Oklahoma vs Alabama</strong>:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>Why Alabama’s recent play (Georgia loss, offensive struggles) matters — but <strong>why you can never sleep on the Tide</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Ty Simpson’s numbers since the OU game and why <strong>yards don’t win games — points do</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Brent Venables is 4–0 in same-season rematches as a defensive play-caller</strong>, including the legendary Clemson vs Notre Dame shutdown in 2020</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>As OU head coach, <strong>BV is 2–0 vs Alabama</strong>, outscoring them <strong>47–24</strong> with <strong>six turnovers and two pick-sixes</strong></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We break down the injury report and what it means:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Gentry Williams</strong> and <strong>Kendel Dolby</strong> out</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Jayden Jackson</strong> questionable</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>R Mason Thomas</strong> still uncertain — and why getting him back would be a massive boost</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>On the offensive side, we get real:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>The national slander of OU’s offense vs the reality of <strong>winning football</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>What we liked from the LSU game</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why <strong>Mateer’s footwork</strong> is everything</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>The importance of establishing <em>any</em> run-game consistency</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why Kanak needs more targets and why checkdowns are <em>free money</em></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>A bold idea for a <strong>“Best of the Rest” postseason tournament</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why the expanded playoff still isn’t perfect</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>And why this season still has <strong>national championship potential</strong></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is about <strong>belief</strong>, <strong>data</strong>, <strong>defense</strong>, and the Sooners doing things the hard way — and doing them right.</p>
<p><strong>The stakes couldn’t be higher. The moment couldn’t be bigger. The vibes couldn’t be stronger.</strong><br />Sooner Nation, it’s time to lock in.</p>

      <title>Doubt OU at Your Own Risk: Sooners’ Defense Dominates LSU in Pure Sooner Magic</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION…<br />I AM CASEY MALLON — AND YOU ARE NOW IN A <em>SOONER STATE OF MIND!</em></p>
<p>Buckle up, fam… because LSU came into Norman and tried to turn Saturday into pure SEC chaos — wind swirling, refs doing SEC-ref things, turnovers flying, momentum swinging like crazy — and yet again, <em>these Sooners refused to break</em>.</p>
<p>In this episode, we dive deep into OU’s gritty, gutsy showdown against LSU:<br />Peyton Bowen’s massive end-zone INT — Billy Bowman energy.<br />David Stone barking pre-snap like a field general.<br />Sategna making RIDICULOUS grabs.<br />Mateer’s roller-coaster afternoon — the good, the bad, the “WHY GOD,” and the clutch.<br />OU’s defense keeping the Sooners alive again and again.<br />And the elite trait the nation still underestimates: this team’s character under pressure.</p>
<p>We break down every possession, every momentum swing, every officiating meltdown (<em>SEC refs… we need a word</em>), and what this game really says about OU heading into the final playoff race.</p>
<p>Plus…<br />Why Texas fans continue to embarrass themselves<br />Why OU’s résumé <em>already</em> outshines most of the country<br />Why being battle-tested actually matters<br />What the playoff committee can’t afford to ignore<br />And how the coaching carousel — Golesh, Silverfield, Sumrall, Weis Jr., Golding & Kiffin — ties into postseason chaos</p>

      <title>Playoff Pressure Rising: Sooners Face LSU With Everything on the Line!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION?!</strong><br />I am Casey Mallon, and YOU are now in a <strong>Sooner State of Mind</strong>, the place where passion meets playoff dreams and Brent Venables’ defense hits like a midnight flyer rolling straight out of Birmingham.</p>
<p>OU walked into last weekend with <em>two</em> teams between them and the College Football Playoff. After handling business in Norman against Mizzou, that number is down to <strong>ONE</strong>. The Sooners took punches, dealt plenty back, battled SEC refs straight outta cartoon villain school, and still slammed the door shut with another dominant defensive performance. Now it’s time to look ahead as OU prepares for a season-defining showdown with LSU — and absolutely <em>everything</em> the Sooners want is still right in front of them.</p>
<p>From Mateer’s clutch legs to Sategna’s speed kills moment, from Peyton Bowen’s blocked kick to Big Wein sack celebrations, this episode has <strong>the full breakdown</strong> of OU vs. Missouri, the latest CFP Top 25 drama, and why LSU might be walking straight into a defensive buzzsaw in Norman.</p>

<p>What’s up, Sooner Nation! Casey Mallon here, and you are now in a <em>Sooner State of Mind!</em> After a much-needed bye week, Oklahoma heads to Tuscaloosa for a massive showdown with the Alabama Crimson Tide — a clash of college football blue bloods with College Football Playoff stakes on the line.

Plus, we look at the newly released playoff schedule, key matchups across the SEC, and what this weekend means for the national picture.</p>

      <title>Sooners Shock Rocky Top: OU beat the Vols 33-27</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What is up, Sooner Nation — I’m <strong>Casey Mallon</strong>, and <strong>you are now in a SOONER STATE OF MIND!</strong></p>
<p>The Oklahoma Sooners went into Knoxville and came out with a hard-fought <strong>33-27 win over the Tennessee Volunteers</strong>, surviving a wild night filled with penalties, big defensive plays, and clutch kicks from the human highlight reel himself — <strong>Sandel in short shorts</strong> (and maybe a thong by the end). From <strong>RMT’s scoop-and-score</strong> to <strong>Peyton Bowen’s interception</strong>, the defense came through when it mattered most. And when <strong>John Mateer</strong> finally found his rhythm in the fourth quarter — OU showed that fight Sooner fans know so well.</p>
<p>In this episode, we break down every key moment — <strong>Mateer’s redemption drive, Kip Lewis’ monster hits,</strong> and <strong>Peyton Bowen’s interception that flipped the first half</strong> — plus what this win means heading into the heart of SEC play. We’ll also recap the <strong>biggest games around college football</strong>, from national upsets to playoff-shifting statement wins.</p>

<p>Can Brent Venables’ squad put together its most complete performance of the season? Or will another round of self-inflicted wounds keep the Sooners from the statement win they need?</p>

      <title>From Auburn Tears to Sooner Fears: Mateer’s Injury &amp; Hawkins’ Shot</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION… Casey Mallon here, and you are now officially in a <strong>Sooner State of Mind!</strong></p>
<p>This week was supposed to be all about how the Sooners wrecked Jackson Arnold’s homecoming—9 sacks, 14 TFLs, holding Auburn to just 67 yards on the ground, and <strong>Jayden Jackson earning Outland Trophy National Player of the Week honors.</strong> Oh, and let’s not forget <strong>John Mateer’s perfect clutch passing and go-ahead TD run</strong> on the game-winning drive!</p>
<p>But instead… heartbreak hit Norman. Brent Venables confirmed that Mateer will undergo hand surgery after finishing the Auburn game <strong>11-for-11 with a broken throwing hand.</strong> Now it’s up to <strong>Michael Hawkins Jr.</strong> to step into the spotlight as OU’s QB1 when the Sooners (4-0, 1-0 SEC) get back after the bye.</p>
<p>We break it all down:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>🏈 <strong>Mateer’s injury & 4-week timeline</strong> — can OU survive this gauntlet without him?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>🔥 The rise of <strong>David Stone, R Mason Thomas, and the war daddies on defense.</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>💥 OU’s rushing woes — will Tory Blaylock, Barnes, or Ott step up?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>🎤 Fan reactions: from F-U-Arnold chants to Auburn crying over “deception.”</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>🐂 Looking ahead to <strong>Texass (yes, with two S’s), South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Bama, Mizzou, and LSU.</strong></p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>📢 Plus: Mike Gundy is OUT at Oklahoma State — what’s next for the Pokes?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>⚡ SEC just dropped its new <strong>9-game conference format and permanent rivalries</strong> — OU locked in with Texas, Ole Miss, and Mizzou.</p>

      <title>Sooners Silence Michigan | OU vs Temple Preview + Week 3 CFB Showdowns</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION!</strong><br />Casey Mallon here, and you are locked into another episode of <em>Sooner State of Mind</em>! The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory — a <strong>24–13 victory over the Michigan Wolverines</strong>. From John Mateer’s Baker-like grit to Jaren Kanak’s Stoops-style energy, this game had everything: hustle plays, punishing blocks, highlight catches, and a defense that suffocated Bryce Underwood all night long.</p>
<p>I’ll break down every moment that mattered — from Mateer’s clutch start-and-stop runs to Barnes’ punishing blocks, Sategna’s hustle plays, and Owen Heinecke flashing as a defensive enforcer. Plus, we’ll talk about what this OU defense is becoming, why this team feels different, and how the mental toughness of the Sooners is setting the stage for a special season.</p>
<p>Then, we turn the page to the next challenge: <strong>OU hits the road to face Temple at The Linc</strong>. Can the Sooners avoid the dreaded “trap game” before Auburn rolls into Norman? We’ll scout the Owls, break down their offensive weapons, and discuss what Brent Venables’ squad needs to do to stay sharp.</p>
<p>And because this is <em>Sooner State of Mind</em>, we’ll also dive into the <strong>biggest Week 3 college football matchups</strong>:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>#6 Georgia at #15 Tennessee</strong> – Can the Vols finally snap their skid vs. the Dawgs?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>#18 USF at #5 Miami</strong> – Are the Bulls for real after knocking off two ranked opponents?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Florida at #3 LSU</strong> – Is the heat on Billy Napier about to boil over?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>#16 Texas A&M at #8 Notre Dame</strong> – Will the Aggies flip the script in South Bend?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Vanderbilt at #11 South Carolina</strong> – Can Shane Beamer’s squad avoid an early season landmine?</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It’s all here — Sooners, SEC battles, playoff implications, and the kind of passion that only college football delivers.</p>

      <title>Oklahoma vs Michigan Showdown: SEC Statement, Blue Blood History &amp; Playoff Stakes</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION! Casey Mallon here, and you are officially in a <strong>Sooner State of Mind</strong>!</p>
<p>This week’s episode dives deep into Oklahoma’s statement win, the rise of John Mateer at quarterback, and why Jaren Kanak looks like the next big thing at tight end. From Brent Venables’ defense tightening up in the second half, to Tory Blaylock’s punishing runs and injury update, we’re breaking down every angle of the Sooners’ early season storylines.</p>
<p>Then, we shift to one of the biggest showdowns in college football: <strong>#15 Michigan vs. #18 Oklahoma</strong>. We revisit the history of these two blue blood programs—nearly 2,800 combined games, 19 national championships, 10 Heisman winners, and over 800 NFL draft picks—and preview what’s at stake this Saturday. Michigan’s five-star freshman QB Bryce Underwood brings NFL traits, while Oklahoma’s offense showed chemistry and explosiveness in Week 1. Can the Sooners slow down Justice Haynes and the Wolverines’ rushing attack?</p>
<p>We also spotlight players to watch, including Kendal Daniels, Gentry Williams, and Isaiah Sategna, who feels destined to break a huge return in a big game. Plus, we take a national look at Week 2, from Texas’ shocking stumble to FSU’s defensive dominance, and give a rundown of other marquee matchups across the SEC and beyond.</p>

      <title>Sooners Football is Back! OU vs Illinois State Breakdown + Top Week 1 CFB Matchups</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION… I AM CASEY MALLON, AND YOU ARE NOW IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND!</p>
<p>This Saturday at <strong>3 PM PST</strong>, the wait is finally over as the <strong>#18 Oklahoma Sooners</strong> open the 2025 season at <strong>Gaylord Family–Oklahoma Memorial Stadium</strong> against the <strong>Illinois State Redbirds</strong>. Vegas has OU as <strong>35.5-point favorites</strong>, and I’ll tell you why I’m still taking the points.</p>
<p>We’ll break down everything you need to know:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Illinois State Preview</strong> – Head coach Brock Spack’s 10-win Redbirds return QB Tommy Rittenhouse, RB Wenkers Wright, and WR Daniel Sobkowicz after a deep FCS playoff run. Ranked <strong>No. 6 nationally</strong>, ISU brings confidence but faces an uphill climb.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Oklahoma Depth Chart Surprises</strong> – Courtland Guillory and Jacobe Johnson emerge as starters at corner alongside Gentry Williams, with Brent Venables promising another leap forward for his defense.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>John Mateer’s Debut</strong> – The new QB1 brings over <strong>3,100 passing yards and 29 TDs</strong> from Washington State, plus 800+ rushing yards. Can he elevate OU’s receivers and run game in Year 1?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Defensive Expectations</strong> – Venables’ defense is set to dominate third downs, stop the run, and bring the heat. This unit could be OU’s biggest weapon.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Recruiting Win</strong> – Three-star DL <strong>T-Ron Richardson</strong> commits to the Sooners over Penn State, Maryland, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse, continuing OU’s defensive line reload.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>And it’s not just OU Football this week—College Football fans are eating:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>No. 1 Texas vs No. 3 Ohio State</strong> – A playoff rematch with Arch Manning and Julian Sayin in the spotlight.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>No. 4 Clemson vs No. 9 LSU</strong> – The Bayou Bengals haven’t won an opener since 2019. Can Brian Kelly flip the script?</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>No. 6 Notre Dame vs No. 10 Miami</strong> – “Catholics vs Convicts” renewed with freshman QB CJ Carr leading the Irish against transfer Carson Beck and a fierce Canes defense.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Plus, the end of an era: Lee Corso’s final <strong>College GameDay</strong> episode.</p>

      <title>SEC Moves to 9 Games: What It Means for Oklahoma Sooners &amp; College Football Playoff</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Oklahoma Sooners fans, the countdown is on! We are officially just <strong>7 DeMarco Murrays away</strong> from kickoff as OU prepares to take on Illinois State to open the 2025 season. But before we preview next week’s matchup, we’ve got breaking news that shakes the entire college football landscape: the SEC is moving to a <strong>nine-game conference schedule</strong> starting in 2026.</p>
<p>In this episode of <em>Sooner State of Mind</em>, Casey Mallon dives deep into what this historic shift means for the SEC, Oklahoma football, and the entire college football playoff picture. We break down:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p>The impact of a <strong>nine-game SEC schedule</strong> on rivalries, strength of schedule, and bowl eligibility.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>What this move means for the <strong>Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC</strong>, and how it changes the Power 5 balance.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>The playoff implications in the new <strong>12-team CFP era</strong>, where strength of schedule could matter more than perfection.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Who Oklahoma’s likely <strong>three permanent SEC rivals</strong> will be — from Texas and Texas A&M to Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, and even Florida.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Casey also opens the floor to Sooner Nation: who do YOU want OU’s three annual SEC opponents to be? Share your thoughts in the YouTube comments or hit us up on X @FootballDudesLA.</p>
<p>With SEC expansion, college football realignment, and the Sooners set to make noise in their new conference, this is a must-listen for every Oklahoma fan gearing up for 2025 and beyond.</p>

      <title>&quot;Oklahoma Sooners: John Mateer Rumors, Young Defensive Stars &amp; 17 Days to Kickoff&quot;</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>🏈 Sooner State of Mind – 17 Days ‘Til Kickoff & the John Mateer Story</strong></p>
<p>What’s up, Sooner Nation?! Casey here, and you are now <em>IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND!</em> We’re just <strong>17 days</strong>—that’s <em>17 Marvin Mims Jrs.</em>—away from the 2025 Oklahoma Sooners storming into Memorial Stadium to curb stomp the Illinois State Redbirds, and the stoke level is officially off the charts.</p>
<p>This episode, we’re talking:</p>
<ul>
 	<li>
<p><strong>The John Mateer Venmo rumors</strong> – the late-night screenshots, Pete Thamel’s report, Mateer’s official statement, and where things stand with OU and the NCAA.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p><strong>Brent Venables’ young defensive playmakers</strong> – Kendal Daniels, Reggie Powers III, Robert Spears-Jennings, Jaydon Jackson, David Stone, Damonic Williams, Gracen Halton – and why BB says they just need to “be consistent” before locking down starting spots.</p>
</li>
 	<li>
<p>Why this offseason has felt <em>non-stop</em>, even in the so-called “dead period,” and how we’re about to hit the greatest stretch of the year: college football <em>every day</em> from August 28 through Labor Day Monday.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Plus, I’ll give you my “get stoked” philosophy, why this Saturday is the perfect day to knock out those last pre-season to-dos, and how to catch all our content on <strong>Bleav.com</strong> and <strong>The Football Dudes</strong> YouTube channel.</p>
<p>It’s almost time, folks. Wave that flag. Stay stoked. And get ready—Sooner football is here.</p>

      <title>NFL Draft Shocks, Transfer Portal Drama &amp; Sooner Softball Domination!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. The NFL Draft has come and gone. While only two Sooners, Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman, heard their names called, it had been well over twenty years since OU had that few players drafted. That is something Brent Venables and Jim Nagy are expected to change, and change quickly. The good news is that several other Sooners did score camp invites with various NFL teams. We will let you know who is going where. The Sooners are also coming off a transfer portal scare. David Stone's brief entrance into the portal had Sooner Nation losing their collective minds, however, Stone quickly exited the portal and will remain with the Sooners. Unfortunately, Gavin Sawchuk was one of eight Sooners to also enter the portal. The good news is Jaydn Ott traded in his California address for an Oklahoma addy. Ott joins John Mateer as the two biggest portal wins for the 2025 Oklahoma Sooners. Speaking of portal wins, Porter Moser has been cooking in the portal with some big-time gets for the Oklahoma basketball team. Speaking of big time, Patty Gasso and her crew are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Longhorns to reclaim their spot on top of the SEC, with their sights set on a 5th straight National Championship.

      <title>Could a return to Bedlam come Sooner than we think?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Spring Ball is here, and we get John Mateer's thoughts on his new team and how tough it is going up against that Sooner defense in practice every day. Could a Bedlam return be closer than we think? If it is up to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, the answer is yes. We will tell you all about it. Porter Moser and the Sooners did finally make it back to the dance, but were unable to dethrone the defending champs, as OU lost to UConn 67-59. Leaving lots of questions to be answered as to the future of Jeremiah Fears and the program as a whole.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Spring Ball is here, and we get John Mateer's thoughts on his new team and how tough it is going up against that Sooner defense in practice every day. Could a Bedlam return be closer than we think? If it is up to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, the answer is yes. We will tell you all about it. Porter Moser and the Sooners did finally make it back to the dance, but were unable to dethrone the defending champs, as OU lost to UConn 67-59. Leaving lots of questions to be answered as to the future of Jeremiah Fears and the program as a whole.

      <title>Sooners score NFL swag with their new GM!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. With so much activity surrounding the program, every little bit of news gets us that much closer to football season. A familiar face is back with the program. Kevin Wilson makes his way to Norman via Tulsa. If he picks up where he left off, there just might be another Heisman Trophy winner playing quarterback for the Sooners. OU hasn't played a game yet, but it already feels like they are winning with the hiring of their new General Manager. Jim Nagy left his position with the Senior Bowl to lead the Sooners through this ever-changing landscape of collegiate football. We will talk about his credentials and why he is the right fit for the job. Even though we are completely stoked about spring practice, Sooner Nation did get some bad news regarding the annual Spring Game. As many other colleges have done, the cancellation of the OU Spring Game is part of the fallout from this new era of NIL and the wide-open transfer portal. We will get into why it happened as well as its replacement. We also check in with the NFL Combine as well as OU's Pro Day as the NFL Draft is just over a month away. We also take a quick look at OU's NCAA Tournament hopes for both men's and women's hoops. To wrap things up, we show a little love to the dominant start for Coach Gasso and the Sooners' attempt at a ridiculous 5-peat. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>A Sooner Super Bowl MVP, Demarco Murray stays at OU &amp; NFL Combine!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Although stoke levels vary in degrees of stokeness, depending on which level you are looking at. On one level, there will be no football for quite some time, but Sooner legend Jalen Hurts ended the NFL season as a Super Bowl Champion and the Super Bowl MVP as his Philadelphia Eagles destroyed Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22. We will show Jalen some love for his epic performance. As for current Sooners, in back-to-back years, the Big 10 has tried to poach Oklahoma's running backs coach Demarco Murray. However, it was Coach D giving the Nittany Lions the stiff arm. We also check to see just how hot the hot seat is getting for Porter Moser after a very disheartening Sooners collapse on the hardwood against LSU. We also talk about Billy Bowman, Danny Stutsman, and Ethan Downs as they prepare for the NFL Combine in late February. Even though the Sooners' debut season in the SEC did not go according to plan, the payday might have eased the pain at least just a little, if not a lot. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Brent Venables has completed his coaching staff for the 2025 season with the additions of Nate Dreiling and Wes Goodwin. Even with six current or former defensive coordinators on the staff, it will be Brent Venables who calls the plays for the Sooners on defense this upcoming season. We also take a quick look back at both the East/West Shrine Bowl and Reese's Senior Bowl. Billy Bowman had a huge week of practice leading up to the game, will it be enough to elevate his draft stock? Speaking of draft stock, we know for certain that more than one Sooner will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for the Super Bowl champs at the end of the big game. For the third consecutive year, the Sooners will have the most players from any college program on active rosters for the Super Bowl. There are a total of eight former Sooners representing the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. We also check in with BetOnline to give you some of the craziest prop bets available for this weekend's big game. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>Jim Knowles shuns the Buckeyes and Sooners for Penn State</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Even though it was only hearsay, the word was Jim Knowles was in play to be the defensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners for the 2025 season. Instead, Knowles found over 3 million reasons to head to Pennsylvania and became the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football history. No word on what the Sooners will do moving forward. Speaking of moving forward, a handful of Sooners are moving on, and hopefully, that move is to the NFL. Billy Bowman, Ethan Downs, and Luke Elzinga will be performing in front of NFL personnel as they try to take their talents to the next level. Speaking of the next level, the Sooners once again will be the most represented college team at the Super Bowl. We will tell you who.

      <title>Zac Alley pulls a TBOW to end the 2024 Sooner Season</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising. Every time we think that the news cycle has ended for these 2024 Oklahoma Sooners, we get a quick reminder that it definitely is not. After the Navy game, the Sooners found out that Zac Alley would be leaving his current position to take the same position at the University of West Virginia. Throw in the titles of assistant head coach and linebackers coach and that trifecta was enough to get Alley to bounce less than a full year after OU hired him. There is no official word on his replacement, but we do expect to hear something sooner than later. We also check in with the last few comings and goings regarding the transfer portal. Then we recap the Elite Eight matchups in the College Football Playoff and we preview the Final Four. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels rise even though the season is sinking. Well, the season has officially sunk. The Oklahoma Sooners lost to Navy 21-20 in the Armed Forces Bowl to put an end to a very frustrating season. All is not lost, there were some good things to take away from the game, but they were just overshadowed by all the bad things. Nonetheless, we tell you why there is reason for hope. The first round of the 12-team College Playoff did not live up to the hype or expectation, so hopefully the next round will be better. A Sundevil victory would go a long way toward helping Sooner Nation get their feel goods back as we preview the next round of games.

We will talk about the ups and downs of his first and only season as the starting quarterback for the Sooners and who might replace him in 2025. Speaking of 2025, the Sooners just put their finishing touches on next year's class, with an emphasis on building in the trenches. There was speculation that 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi was wavering on his commitment to the Sooners, but Signing Day put an end to that nonsense.

      <title>The Oklahoma Sooners put a 24-3 beat down on Alabama!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, it has been a minute, but stoke levels are definitely rising! Our Sooners are coming off their biggest win of the season. Last Saturday Night, the Oklahoma Sooners put an old-fashioned beat down on Jalen Milroe and the #7 Alabama Crimson Tide. Not only that, but they held the Tide out of the endzone with the 24-3 victory in front of a packed house at the Palace on the Prairie. The Tide jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but that would be the last points they would score on the night. True Freshman Xavier Robinson was dominant as he and Jackson Arnold both ran for over 100 yards, contributing to the 275 yards rushing the Sooners had on the night. To most, it was a season-saving win, especially for the Seniors taking the field for the last time on Senior Night. That includes Butkus Award Finalist Danny Stutsman, who led the defensive charge. Now the Sooners look to build off that performance as they head to Death Valley for a season finale against the LSU Tigers. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

To most, it was a season-saving win, especially for the Seniors taking the field for the last time on Senior Night. That includes Butkus Award Finalist Danny Stutsman, who led the defensive charge. Now the Sooners look to build off that performance as they head to Death Valley for a season finale against the LSU Tigers. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, we look back at what went wrong in Oklahoma's epic collapse against the Missouri Tigers. The Sooners wasted some Billy Bowman Sooner Magic on their way to the 30-23 loss on the road. The Sooners now fall to 5-5 and their hopes of becoming bowl-eligible have taken a turn for the worse. Many questions need to be answered. One of the biggest is if Jackson Arnold is the quarterback of the future for the Sooners. We are not even sure JFA will be the quarterback of the Sooners in their next game against Alabama. At this point, all ideas will be considered as they take time to reflect on what could have been over the bye week. We also take a look back at some of the best games from Week 11, including an incredible last-second win from BYU and a shocking defeat of the Georgia Bulldogs. We also preview the latest rankings for the 12 Team College Football Playoff. As to who got snubbed, we will let you know. Can the Sooners get things right after the bye week with huge games against Alabama and LSU to end the season? At least we have some time to ponder such questions. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brent Venables made the decision early in the week to fire offensive coordinator Seth Littrell. With all of the injury issues that have plagued the Sooners this season, it is hard to pin everything on Littrell, but something had to change. BV elevated co-offensive coordinator Joe Jon Finley to offensive coordinator, no co. JJF will have a 5 game audition to appease a rabid Sooner Nation. That audition starts on Saturday against a very tough opponent in Ole Miss. Can the Sooners do enough on offense to hang with the Rebels? We will find out on Saturday. Oh, and Texas and USC both lost last week, to make the weekend a little bit better. Hopefully, they can both do that again this week.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! Well, I wouldn't say they are rising. They might be sinking. So much expectation going into the game last week against Texas. Only to have our offense put up three stinking points.

So far, it does not look like we have any of those answers. Right now, the Sooners have a major identity crisis. That being said, one good game could turn it all around. I am just not sure that, that game is coming. If it doesn't come this week, it is not coming any time soon. The schedule only gets tougher from here on out. So, what do we do? That is the million-dollar question. Even if we don't have answers, maybe a Georgia win over Texas will make us feel a little bit better.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! The Sooners are back from their bye week. In hindsight, it seems like a great week not to have played football, as there were upsets galore. Will that trend continue this week? Let's hope so because it is officially time to get the hate flowing. That's right, it is the 120th Edition of the Red River Rivalry, but the first of the SEC variety. It is the #18 Oklahoma Sooners vs the #1 ranked Texas Longhorns. Last year the Sooners ripped the hearts out of Bevo with the instant classic 34-30 win over the Horns. Can OU do it again as 14.5 underdogs? That game would be enough, but there are a handful of awesome, and I mean totally awesome games on the Week 7 schedule. Can this week top last week?

      <title>Kip, Kip Hooray! OU stirs up some Sooner Magic with an epic win over Auburn!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! Oh, baby, the Sooners' first SEC Conference road game did not disappoint as Kip Lewis and Michael Hawkins Jr stirred up some Sooner Magic in the incredible 27-21 comeback win against Auburn! This game had a little good, bad, and definitely some ugly. But when the game was on the line, the Sooners showed up and showed out! It was just an amazing and galvanizing win for this team. We wondered if the moment might be too big for Michael Hawkins Jr, the true freshman quarterback, and the answer to that, was a resounding hell no! Even so, it took a 4th quarter Kip Lewis pick-six to complete the comeback and help steal the win for the Sooners. With a bye week on the horizon, the Sooners can shift their focus to the hated ones. The Red River Rivalry is going down in two weeks, so the rest comes at a great time for a Sooners team trying to get healthy. There was another less important but amazing game last week as well. It was Georgia at Alabama. Bama jumped out to a 28-0 lead but had to hold on to escape with the 41-34 win. we will share our thoughts on that game as well. <span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>Can OU channel some Baker Mayfield Sooner Magic vs the Vols?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! It is finally here, the moment we've all been waiting for. It is history in the making. The Sooners will host their first-ever SEC conference game. On Saturday Night, the #15 Oklahoma Sooners are hosting the #6 Tennessee Volunteers. Both teams come into this game undefeated and are looking for that first conference win. The storylines would be thick enough just for the magnitude alone. Throw in the history of the coaches and past games, and the subtext takes this game to another level. The Vols are led by Sooner legend and current head coach Josh Heupel. Heupel was instrumental in bringing National Championship #7 to Norman. In 2000 Heupel led the Sooners to a perfect 13-0 season culminating with a 13-2 Orange Bowl win over the Florida State Seminoles. Coach Heupel spent a little time on the OU sidelines as offensive coordinator before a bad breakup in 2015. Heupel returns to Norman with what may be his best Vols team to date. The high-powered Tennessee offense is led by red-shirt freshman quarterback sensation Nico Iamaleava. The Tennessee defense is one of the best in the country too.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! It is finally here, the moment we've all been waiting for. It is history in the making. The Sooners will host their first-ever SEC conference game. On Saturday Night, the #15 Oklahoma Sooners are hosting the #6 Tennessee Volunteers. Both teams come into this game undefeated and are looking for that first conference win. The storylines would be thick enough just for the magnitude alone. Throw in the history of the coaches and past games, and the subtext takes this game to another level. The Vols are led by Sooner legend and current head coach Josh Heupel. Heupel was instrumental in bringing National Championship #7 to Norman. In 2000 Heupel led the Sooners to a perfect 13-0 season culminating with a 13-2 Orange Bowl win over the Florida State Seminoles. Coach Heupel spent a little time on the OU sidelines as offensive coordinator before a bad breakup in 2015. Heupel returns to Norman with what may be his best Vols team to date. The high-powered Tennessee offense is led by red-shirt freshman quarterback sensation Nico Iamaleava. The Tennessee defense is one of the best in the country too. The Sooners are hoping to get some playmakers back for this one and will need all the help they can get to pull off the massive upset. We will let you know just what the Sooners will need to do to make it so. There are also some extra tasty games on the college football schedule. We will preview those as well.

      <title>Can the Sooners ride the Green Wave to 3-0?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising! We've recovered from last week's drama and are moving on to greener pastures, or more like greener waves. The Sooners are set to host the Tulane Green Wave in their last game before Conference play. Tulane gave the Sooners all they could handle a few years ago, and now OU would like to return the favor. We will preview the big game and all the top games from Week 3 of the college football season. Game recognizes game, that's why Gracen Halton was named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week. Halton's late safety preserved the win and helped the Sooners stay undefeated for at least one more week. We also check in with some injured Sooners and get updates from Brent Venables on who is and who isn't close to returning.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, stoke levels are rising, just barely. Just like the OU win vs the Houston Cougars, just barely. The Sooners dominated in their first win as a member of the SEC. On Saturday Night it was anything but dominant. The Sooners needed some Sooner Magic, including a late safety by Gracen Halton to secure the 16-12 win over Willie Ftiz's Coogs. Even though the defense for the Sooners was outstanding, the offense was anything but. Even so, the Sooners remain undefeated on a day when upsets were brewing. There are many things to work on, but the main thing to take away is that the Sooners are still 2-0 with all their attainable goals in front of them.

We also hit the diamond to check in with Patty Gasso as her Sooners are trying to complete the 4-pete with another College World Series title. <span>All that and more! </span><span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>Jackson Arnold delivers the big play in the Oklahoma Sooners Spring Game</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, we finally got to see a preview of our 2024 Oklahoma Sooners. The Spring Game is in the books and the early reports were as good as anticipated. Sooner Nation got to see Jackson &quot;JFA&quot; Arnold in his spring debut as QB 1, and it lived up to expectations. If the early returns on Deion Burks are anything close to what we saw in the Spring Game, we are in for some major fireworks this fall as Burks was unstoppable in the Spring Game. We also got a taste of Jackson and Stone, the new defensive beef, coming to an offensive backfield near you. Then it's a quick recap of the 2024 NFL Draft. Caleb Williams went first overall to the Chicago Bears, but another former Sooner went much later than expected. We also check in with three more Sooners who got that life-changing call from an NFL team and we will let you know which undrafted free agent Sooners are looking to make the pros the hard way. The Sooners also got some shocking news as a fan favorite lets Sooner Nation know they are hitting the portal. We also check in with Bob Stoops and his Arlington Renegades of the UFL as they suffer another brutal loss. <span>All that and more! </span><span>It's time to get into a Sooner State of Mind! </span><a href="https://twitter.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesla</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballdudesla/">footballdudeslaIG</a><span> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/footballdudesLA">footballdudesfacebook </a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind we finally get confirmation of the Zac Alley era in OU football. Zac Alley and Jay Valai will be the co-defensive coordinators for the Sooners in 2024. We will fill you in on just how Alley got to Norman.

Nick Saban announced his retirement from college football and it shook the college football world. We will take a look back at how the Sooners fared going head to head against Saban. The fallout was fast and furious and even though the Crimson Tide were quick in finding their next head coach, the shoes that former Washington Huskies head coach Kalen Deboer and new Crimson Tide head coach is stepping into are pretty, pretty, pretty big. Bama players started jumping into the transfer portal almost immediately, we will talk about what the program wiill look like moving forward. This week an all-time Sooner Legend finally got his due as Dewey Selmon was selected into the College Football Hall of Fame. We have a few stats on his time at OU that will blow your mind.

We also take a look at the CFP games which featured Alabama and Michigan in the Rose Bowl and Washington and Texas in the Rose Bowl. One of those games brought Sooner Nation an abundance of joy.

Starting with an undefeated ACC Champion Florida State getting left out of the College Football Playoff. So it's Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama. that will compete for the title. As you can imagine this is stirring up a lot of different opinions. If you thought the committee was done sizzling teams, you would be wrong. The Sooners found out they would night be participants in a New Year's 6 Bowl Game, and that was enough to ignite more rage. If you thought the news would end there, you were also wrong as the transfer portal opened up, taking more than a handful of Sooners. The biggest name to make the list was one Dillon Gabriel.

Billy Bowman had the biggest play of the day with a 100 yard pick 6 that would give OU a lead and help propel them to victory. Unfortunately we didn't get the help we needed from our conference brethren but with one week left in the regular season, our dream remains alive.

      <title>The refs wreck the OU Sooners in their final Big 12 Bedlam!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind we look back in disbelief as the Sooners lose the final chapter of Bedlam in the Big 12 going down to the Oklahoma State Cowboys 27-24. It's not that the Sooners lost, it's how they lost. The Pokes got a major gift from the officials in this one. A non-call on a blatant pass interference will go down as a huge determining factor on how the game was won or lost. The Sooners definitely made mistakes but the biggest mistake would come via the officiating crew as they sat with whistles in mouths and flags in hand but refused to use either at the biggest moment in the game.In doing so they rob the Sooners of the opportunity of hanging one more Big 12 Championship Banner. I am sure no one outside of Norman will care, but emotions are still raw as dreams and expectations will go unfulfilled. We also recap some of the best games of Week 10 of the college football season. <span>All that and more!

A non-call on a blatant pass interference will go down as a huge determining factor on how the game was won or lost. The Sooners definitely made mistakes but the biggest mistake would come via the officiating crew as they sat with whistles in mouths and flags in hand but refused to use either at the biggest moment in the game.In doing so they rob the Sooners of the opportunity of hanging one more Big 12 Championship Banner. I am sure no one outside of Norman will care, but emotions are still raw as dreams and expectations will go unfulfilled. We also recap some of the best games of Week 10 of the college football season. <span>All that and more!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind we take our show up the road to Stillwater for the last Big 12 version of Bedlam as the 7-1 Oklahoma Sooners visit the 6-2 Oklahoma State Cowboys. While OU has dominated this series, you can never count out Mike Gundy and the Pokes. Always getting up in our business at the wrong time. Stakes couldn't be higher as the Big 12 and a CFP birth are still up for grabs. The winner gets eternal bragging rights. The Sooners took those from Texas and would love to do the same to little brother. The bad blood will be boiling over in this one.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of Sooner State of Mind, we unpack a little history as we move towards the future. OU hosts their long time conference foe from way back in the Big 8 days as the Iowa State Cyclones come to Norman.
