With our roster age, key injuries, and off-season drama, 7-5 was my "meh" pick and 8-4 was my slightly optimistic pick.

I certainly didnt think it would look the way it has, and that doesn't excuse a lot of things that fall on the coaches, but I'm not as frustrated as I thought I'd be.

Our roster is much better than OK. They even had more key players out with injuries. There’s just no excuse for this L

Sometimes I think he doesn’t know the rules. His clock management needs to be a class on what not to do.

It’s painful to watch. We were probably 14 points better than OU and had the home field advantage, totally dominated the first half by a mile and go in down at the half. I wish it were different, but the guy has no clue about when to use a timeout and how to sustain or ebb momentum.

His game management is infuriating. IMO The Hype needs to give up the play calling and concentrate on managing the game. He can’t do both.

I would counter by saying we lost 2 of our games by single possessions and that NIL comes with a volatile culture we still aren't entirely attuned to.

Both good posts. Most of us picked 9-3 and knew that was being optimistic. Vegas and SEC media both figured 8-4 and 9th in SEC. We are better than that and have been better than could be reasonably expected all year. I get the super frustration...we lost to an inferior team because we turned the ball over 3 times and played sloppy ball. CJH who I love made some questionable decisions on 4th and 1...and the 2nd onsides that wasnt necessary with 2mins and 2timeouts left. It still almost worked. Their kicker was 4/4 with 3kicks over 50yds. Ours missed a chip shot. Bad picks, dropped passes, missed kicks etc. Our defense actually played well enough to win mostly with backups. Didnt see the offense losing us this game but it did.

Flush this one and move on. The worst part of this game is the 40 or so recruits and 12 different 5* kids across a couple classes that saw it up close. We will be fine though. Snap and clear.

I don’t trust him to do either. I’m just willing to accept the fact he’s just okay and leave it at that. Hope for improvement, but don’t anticipate it and you won’t be let down.

I am ok with a loss if we will get rid of these **** black uniforms and start wearing ORANGE at home!

Exactly. They have done a decent job of fixing the worst of the tackling mess, and tonight it's stupid off the wall crap - and some guys still can't catch, and others seem to have forgotten how to block. We are ORANGE and WHITE; burn all the hexing damn off-color uniforms. If the kiddies don't like our heritage, let them find a team with black or gray uniforms.

If there are no staff changes this off season I’ll be right there with you. It’s year 5 and we’er still muddling along in mediocrity

Tomorrow is another day and another day of undisciplined football

The sad part is that OU played more undisciplined than us and still beat our ass in our own house. They had way more penalties, way more drops and Veneables even tried to hand us the game throwing the football with 3 minutes left and risking an interception which we got and Hype’s squad couldn’t meet the challenge.

The Hype just doesn’t have that killer instinct and it translates into the way the team plays.

Totally apparent. And definitely needs to understand that you can actually have a short controlled passing game at times to control the clock and momentum, you don’t always have to throw it 30, 40 or 50 yards downfield. If you just need 4 yards for a first down then throw a 5 yard curl and move the chains for crying out loud.

I hate that we beat ourselves but IMO it was the players not the coaches. Players turned the ball over 3 times and gave up several sacks. In Joeys defense...both picks were bad decisions on his part...BUT Joey stood in there and delivered all game while getting hit. Hard sometimes. That was a dirty personal foul too when the guy hit him in the neck/head on purpose late too. It wasnt his best game vs the best defense in the SEC but he played pretty well. Too many drops by WRs AND TEs.

We will be a better team next year from all these freshmen playing so much. Looks to me like Coach Inge has some tough decisions to make. Arion carter is too hurt to be playing...and the freshmen are much better and faster than Telander and hes a team captain.Spillman made BIG plays again and Perlotte made several plays that neither hurt Carter or Telander could have made because theyre too slow. Speed at LB makes this defense much better. Redmond has improved a lot this year at Corner and IF Hood comes back then Gibson will have his hands full beating out Redmond for the other starting Cornerback slot next year IMO
