Not sure, but my gut feeling is that if Brent Venables isn't introduced by tomorrow pm, he isn't the one for OU. Would have already been done by now, and Clemson is posting pics of BV everywhere recruiting to kinda suggest he aint leaving. They are talking about a $2.4 million package to keep him at CU.

Venables seems to be the top candidate. Which would fit in with them virtually never hiring anyone but coordinators/assistant coaches for almost 100 straight years.

There was no plane from Norman to land in Knoxville yesterday. Cool off. We will be fine.
Actually, I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Here's what just 24 hours of air traffic looks like:

When it comes to the US and Europe in particular, there are planes FROM everywhere TO everywhere, every single day.

I do totally agree with your advice to the OP to cool off and that we'll be fine. *thumbsup*

Oklahoma fans are currently convincing themselves it's Dabo/Venables with Jeff Lebby as OC. It would actually benefit us if that happened, getting Dabo out of our back yard. I'd normally say 1 in a million odds, but this year...who knows. Apparently Dabo's buyout is low.

I would call them delusional but I witnessed first hand 10 years of "Gruden-watch"

It’s amazing how many flights there are per day. I’ve seen that animation before and it’s mind boggling. My comment was based on a specific search each day for the past few days (sorry but I’m a little too nervous myself) and it shows no flights between those two airports.

All this anxiety would go away if OU would either poo or get off the pot, assuming it’s not Heupel.

I've already entered like late stage BVS so I'm ready for anything....it might take a couple nos but its not outside the realm of possibilities for Heupel to get a look...time...money....and a good "come home son, I made a mistake when I fired you" from Stoops can do alot to thaw that "frosty" relationship....I'm also not gonna fault the guy for going back to his alma mater...I'll just chalk it up to the universe hates us...which helps me cope day to day....that said I think they want a splash hire this time...I think the Beamer stuff is agent talk

Oklahoma can easily triple that.
