When do we see them? Tonight? tomorrow? Portal opens Dec 9 and closes Dec 28.

Nardo.. gone right? Right????

Dickey… fired/retired?

Who else?

Nothing to report. Don't worry Chad, Gundy has 20 years ‘speriance. His timeline will see movement by April.

And our handful of esteemed known Lady posters like @osujane, @AggieSpice, @Wally12 and @lovethempokes

I expect Tuesday and also Wednesday will not bring any coaching staff news of note.

Do I expect there will be some big changes? Yes, I do. I'm sure the next question will be what does that mean?

All options are still on the table. Could the end result be very disappointing? Sure man, it's OSU football.

No news Tuesday or Wednesday is what we all should plan for.

Is there any new recruiting rumors or news out there that is looking good for the program?

I guess his movie & book, *2000 Mules* had some “misrepresentations” in them. And now it appears he’s trying to get ahead of upcoming potential lawsuits by apologizing. Does this mean the Democrats didn’t cheat after all? Good grief, does this mean there actually were 81 million idiots that voted for Biden?

Who do you think is our best wrestler? Who is the best pound-for-pound? Who will finish higher at his weight? Who will have the most bonus-point wins? Who do you like just because…? Maybe you like a wrestler just because he’s you $hit throwing rivals guy.

Give all the reason you believe your opinion is correct or maybe you just have a feeling. We want to here/read it all. We have nothing better to do.

Feel free to call your adversaries here any name(s) you can get away with, the gloves are off.

The winner(s) will be decided in five months.

I listened to the Temptations featuring Dan DiAngelo do 2 songs in stereo on 60s Gold in my wife's Jeep in my trial run. Looks as if I'll have to become a loyal paying subscriber again. Fox Business on ch 113 ain't bad either.

Posting any and all updated related OSU players coming and going

hoping we can land some impact players! Specifically on the lines and at LB

BIG 12 FOOTBALL | BERRY TRAMEL’S EFFICIENCY RATINGS

Berry Tramel's Big 12 efficiency ratings: OSU defense finishes historically awful​

here’s nothing left to say about OSU football 2024, other than it was the most amazing crumble since the last time you stepped on a bag of Chips Ahoy.
A season that began with such promise quickly disintegrated into one of the worst teams in America. OSU finished the season with a 52-0 loss at Colorado that gave the Cowboys a nine-game losing streak to carry into the offseason. OSU finishes 0-9 in the Big 12, two games behind Utah, Central Florida and Arizona, which were tied for next-to-last.

The Cowboys finish 13th in offensive efficiency and 16th, last place, in defensive efficiency.
OSU’s .489 rating on defense is indescribably awful. How bad was this season for the Cowboy defense? OSU held Colorado to six offensive touchdowns and a field goal in 14 possessions, and that improved the Cowboys’ defensive efficiency.

Six straight opponents had averaged at least a touchdown every other possession.
OSU’s offensive plunge was notable only for being less dramatic than the defensive slide. Rebuilding this team is an undertaking not for the weak.
Let’s get to the final Big 12 efficiency ratings of the season, and remember, this is success rate based on opportunities. Touchdowns count full, field goals half, and that total is divided by possessions. Defensive rating is your opponents’ offensive efficiency.

Offense 1. Baylor .425: Amazing job by quarterback Sawyer Robertson and coordinator Jake Spavital. Through four power-conference games — admittedly against quality defenses Utah, Colorado, Brigham Young and Iowa State — the Bears had a .260 offensive efficiency. The last five games? A robust .545. 2. Arizona State .418: The Sun Devils played ball control. They averaged 9.8 possessions per game, the lowest in the Big 12. 3. TCU .418: Kendal Briles’ offense lit up the league. The Baylor offense still works. 4. Kansas .406: Jalon Daniels finally fell off in the season finale at Baylor, after a rousing four-game win streak. 5. Colorado .403: Five Big 12 teams above .400. Only one Southeastern Conference team was above .400. The Big 12 remains an offensive-focused league. 6. Texas Tech .391: Best Red Raider offense since 2016, when Patrick Mahomes quarterbacked Tech. 7. BYU .381: All that kept the Cougars out of the Big 12 Championship Game was that offensive stumble against Kansas. 8. Iowa State .381: Wow. A .381 offensive rating lands the Cyclones in the middle of the pack. 9. West Virginia .373: Offense wasn’t the reason Neal Brown got fired Sunday. These Mountaineers could score.​

10. Kansas State .361: Still a good offense, even if the ‘Cats are far down the pack.
11. Cincinnati .350: The UC offense started strong but faded fast.
12. Central Florida .333: Gone, too, is Gus Malzahn, amid much offensive frustration. UCF should have been better than this.

13. Oklahoma State .284: Turns out, maybe Maealiuaki Smith isn’t the next Zac Robinson. 14. Arizona .250: We kept waiting for the Wildcat fire to start, and it never did.
15. Utah .207: The Utes never showed improvement after losing quarterback Cameron Rising so early in the season.

16. Houston .168: Big 12’s worst offense. That OU-Houston game back in September, matching two leagues’ worst offenses, was a beaut, I’m telling you.

Defense 1. Utah .234: What a waste of a tremendous defense. 2. Iowa State .254: The Cyclones didn’t waste good defense. They’re in the Big 12 Championship Game. 3. Colorado .267: The shutout of OSU helped lower this number. 4. Kansas State .282: Solid defense. Solid offense. I don’t know why the Wildcats finished 5-4 in the league. 5. BYU .303: Only Arizona State and OSU(?!) hurt the Cougar defense all season.

6. Houston .325: Excellent defensive work by a team that overachieved, despite its 4-8 record.

7. Arizona State .332: Interesting rating. A team this low in the ratings usually doesn’t make the league title game.
8. Cincinnati .338: Not bad. UC’s problems settled into offense.

9. TCU .358: This wouldn’t be so bad if the Frogs’ schedule wasn’t on the easy side.
10. Baylor .365: Dave Aranda is a defensive guru, but he ended up with a Lincoln Riley team.
11. Texas Tech .390: I guess when the Red Raiders’ offense gets good again, the defense is required to slide.
12. Central Florida .392: Can’t blame it all on fired coordinator Ted Roof.

13. Kansas .402: Not the first time the Jayhawks have been in the .400s on defense.

14. Arizona .430: A lost season.
15. West Virginia .467: Firing defensive coordinator Jordan Lesley a month ago didn’t save Brown’s job. 16. Oklahoma State .489: OSU’s defensive rating in the great season of 2021 was .150. That means these Cowboys allowed more than three times as many scores per possession.

You know anything about this? Does it affect this board? @Jeff J.

Guess we can use a 5 star QB?

New fan hashtag meant for the administration.

Which is White House double-speak meaning it is considering giving nukes to Ukraine.

ATTENTION: You get up to 5 votes in the above poll.

Has the game passed Gundy by after 20 seasons? If so, is Gundy aware of it? What else has been going on behind the scenes?

Gundy was 0-9 in conference this year without OU or Texas (after returning 20 of 22 starters from last year's 10 win team, which was the most in division 1). His bowl streak was snapped after 18 straight seasons.

What happens to Gundy and his staff during the off-season? What do you hope happens?

At this point, the best case scenario would be for Gundy to graciously retire and NOT set back the university with a huge buyout. Then Gundy could move into a media role like Nick Saban and share his knowledge with the world. He does have some great insights on NIL salary caps, limiting the portal or signing contracts, and how to deal with the fake defensive injuries that is plaguing college football and slowing the game down. Additionally, Gundy can be funny and witty, plus it would be a great opportunity for him to pump up his alma mater with free publicity and marketing.

However, Gundy's PRIDE will not allow him to step away and retire. The best thing players and fans can hope for is major staff changes for next season, but I doubt that happens unless FORCED by administration. I do see Gundy's tenure and legacy ending badly at oSu after next season because he refuses to make the necessary changes to his staff, again. This would likely result in a firing for "Just Cause" and end up in an ugly legal battle.


For those wondering why is Gundy on a short leash considering his "success" at oSu over the last 18 years? Here is your answer. Gundy makes $7.75 million which is more than the average NFL coach who makes $6.60 million. In 20 years, Gundy has been to 18 straight bowl games but only has 1 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP & 0 PLAYOFF APPEARANCES. Additionally, he is among the 15 highest paid coaches in college football and is the highest paid coach in the Big 12.

Gundy is also a HYPOCRITE and the players may see this, which is possibly why some of the players may have given up on the team. It has been noted in the media that Gundy gets upset and agitated about the money aspect of college athletes, but everyone can also see that Gundy has taken every opportunity during his tenure to push for a pay raise to the point where he is grossly overpaid.


Then you have Gundy calling out some of the fan base this year instead of calling out himself.


Gundy needs to self-examine himself, but that'll never happen because of his PRIDE!!! However, he would rather burn the program down to the ground to prove to everyone that he is right than to admit his faults and step aside (that takes humility). I have ZERO confidence that Gundy is going to play nicely and do what is best for the university.


PRIDE comes before the fall...
