OU-TX beatdown: Something is terribly wrong in Norman
EWe'll just call this two angry guys airing grievance this week after OU gets shut out and embarrassed by Texas in the Red River Rivalry. It was 49-0 . The defense was terrible once again and the offense made us look prophetic when we said OU was screwed if Dillon Gabriel ever got hurt. The offense was radically different. So what does that say about Jeff Lebby? We learned that Davis Beville is definitely not the answer but we weren't given any chances to see if anyone else could do something better. Where is the QB development in Norman? And the defense? Brent Venables seemed shell-shocked and befuddled after the game. He had no real answers after a second straight week of inept play from his defense. It actually might have been better than the TCU game, but it was still horrible. The OU program has fallen so fast in a year. Why is that? Who is to blame? And what can Venables and his staff do to figure out how to play better when Saturday rolls around? And is anyone on the hot seat already? By the end, Carey didn't even want to be here anymore. It was a frustrating weekend and most people just spent Saturday night getting drunk. We dealt with the reality of it on Sunday. And it just made us want to start drinking again. So enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's a full staff meeting/meltdown after the embarrassment in Ft. Worth
EThis will not be a podcast for the faint of heart. It's a fully raw episode with no bleeps. So you might have to headphones the kids if you are driving. Carey, Josh, Eddie and Bob are all here for this one as we break down the OU football team in its current state and search for answers of our own. Who on this team wants to play football? Understands what playing football is? Who should not be playing? Who should be playing? Whose fault is it that the team is playing this way? Can it be fixed. And holy crap, Texas is next. OU heads to the Red River Rivalry with their underwear showing. Will Dillon Gabriel even be cleared to play? And who thought OU had a backup quarterback? And my goodness! The injuries are all over the place. Hopefully this pod serves as some therapy. And we also understand if you just don't want to listen this week. But we carry on regardless.

Another K-State dud on Owen Field
It's another baffling outcome as Oklahoma loses to Kansas State 41-34 in a game where OU couldn't get out of its own way to even seriously threaten the Wildcats on Owen Field. Carey and Eddie are tired, cranky and at a loss for how to keep doing podcasts when unthinkable losses like these happen. Thankfully we have an office on Campus Corner and Mike Hosty was playing next door at The Deli. Because Fox Sports/Bally Sports videographer Christopher Fitzpatrick stopped by to wallow in misery with us. He probably was the only one who had a realistic take on where the Sooners go from here. It was tough to watch Brent Venables and Dillon Gabriel in the postgame press conference. It was certainly the lowest moment for everyone since the Venables' era began. So come on in as we break it all down and try and make sense out of the nonsense we saw Saturday evening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nebraska beatdown shows things are changing in Norman
EOklahoma went to Lincoln, Nebraska, and took care of the Cornhuskers 49-14. As Eddie heads back from Lincoln, he and Carey breakdown what they saw today. The atmosphere led to a fast start for the Huskers, but Dillon Gabriel and the OU defense were up to the challenge as they quickly struck back and kept piling on the touchdowns. What we learned was that things are really changing in Norman around this football team. Not only are they playing defense, but Venables is changing the mindset. We break it all down in this episode and even bow down to Eric Gray. I mean, what is there really to gripe about after this one? It was a convincing win on the road over a historic rival and the Sooners were down for a beating. As Eddie was on the road there will be some slight audio issues in the beginning but those ironed out as the podcast went on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
POSTGAME: OU is up and down in 33-3 win over Kent State, Nebraska awaits
ECarey and Eddie breakdown Saturday's college football action and specifically what we saw in Norman Saturday night between OU and Kent State. The defense should not be overlooked, but as we're always in search of perfection from OU football, we breakdown what went wrong on the offensive side of the ball. We also continue falling deeper in love with Danny Stutsman and look at some of the standouts on both sides of the ball. We also look ahead to Nebraska and survey the landscape that was a pretty crazy Saturday of football in the Big 12 and nationally. Alabama/Texas... Wow. Learn more about your ad choices.

What we learned in OU's 45-13 win over UTEP
ECarey, Josh and Eddie are here to breakdown OU's 45-13 season opening victory over UTEP. We breakdown what we expected and what we saw on both sides of the ball. Who stood out, who can be better and who just isn't cutting it? We also take time to celebrate a big win and the long road Brent Venables has taken to get to this point. It's back!

POSTGAME: 2022's Red & White Game was quite the day for Baker
EIt was an incredible day on Owen Field. Not because we finally got to see Dillon Gabriel at QB1 for Oklahoma. Not because Jeff Lebby is a madman that made Gabriel play for both teams or that we could barely keep up with the speed of his offense. It wasn't the fire of Brent Venables who commanded the day with his microphone at midfield. It was the buzz inside the stadium generated from the return of hundreds of former players, some of the best to ever it do it own Owen Field. But at the center of it all was Baker Mayfield, who had his statue placed in Heisman Park and reminded everyone inside the stadium what passion about being a Sooner should mean to all in attendance.

Bob Stoops' legend grew against Oregon, Josh back from hell (Orlando)
EOn the final day of 2021 we wrap up the Alamo Bowl and a wild ride to the end of the season. Carey, Eddie and Josh are here as Josh recaps his visit to Orlando for the Under Armour All-American practices while Carey and Eddie breakdown the Alamo Bowl win over Oregon and hand out plenty of praise for Cale Gundy and Bob Stoops. Call this an exit interview, therapy, celebration, man crushing on Stoops, whatever you want it. It's probably more therapeutic for the guys just to talk about the madness of the last month. The good part was that it ended better than you could have scripted it, with Bob Stoops reminding us all what was special about Oklahoma. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Hello and welcome; let's get into it Josh wrapping up his trip to Orlando 26:10 - Caleb Williams; what's going to happen? 36:00 - NIL changing college football 43:00 - Alamo Bowl wrap-up Learn more about your ad choices.

POSTGAME: OU beats Iowa State. We're happy right? Right? Right....?!
EOklahoma finally gets back in the win column to move to 10-1 with a huge Bedlam showdown coming next weekend. The defense was really good, but the offense looked like the same one we saw in Waco last weekend. What's going on? Is it Lincoln Riley? The Sooners ran the ball really well against Iowa State. But special teams were a letdown for whatever reason. But is that surprising? So many questions coming out of a win. We're trying to be excited to be back in the win column. We're trying. The Big 12 Championship berth is still up in the air though. And it's probably gonna take a win in Stillwater for the Sooners to get there. But at least the chase for the Big 12 didn't end today in Norman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
POSTGAME: Sooners LOSE!!! What the hell happened?!!
EJust go listen. We're as defeated as the OU football team is right now. We hash out the problems with this team and the most glaring problems from the day. What needs to be fixed the fastest? Who needs to fix it? Josh and Carey have different takes on the Rattler stuff today. But they can both agree on a lot of other stuff. Eddie joins us later in the show from the road where we continue to work this stuff out. How does this happen after a bye week? Did the OL think the first series was a practice run? What about the future? Does Caleb Williams have a road game problem? Lincoln, what's going on with you? The run game was running and just stopped being used. We didn't coach this team but we'll take the hit for the loss. Also, Gabe Brkic... damn! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
POSTGAME: A win like everyone needed against Texas Tech
EOklahoma got a huge (finally) win in the Big 12, and a relatively easy one at that thanks to both sides of the ball playing some of their best football of the season. Key Lawrence was a revelation at cornerback and Isaiah Thomas was dominant up front. Justin Broiles and Pat Fields had the last laugh as both picked off Tech passes. And Caleb Williams was fantastic throwing for over 400 yards and 6 TDs. Eddie and Carey talk about the huge nature of this win before the bye week and how helpful that could be moving forward. We also take a sneak peek at Championship November based on the results of the day. Enjoy the win Sooner fans. You've earned it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
POSTGAME: DAMMIT IT WAS KANSAS!!!!!!
EWhat a treat! This week's postgame pod is full of the Scoop stars. Josh McCuistion joins Carey and Eddie this week because he had a lot to say about what he saw in Lawrence. Eddie calls in from the KU pressbox where he was actually chastised by the KU staff for making too much noise during the pod. So you know he was fired up. We can't understand this defense. How did we get here? Why has it fallen off so much? Are there any positives out of today? Well, first, OU won, so they remain undefeated. Also Caleb Williams is total clutch and he was awesome when OU needed it. But the secondary has serious issues. And Alex Grinch's seat is getting warm after the way things have started to fall apart on defense. Welcome! We're here to help you make sense of OU's 35-23 win over Kansas.

POSTGAME: Caleb Williams has changed OU football overnight
EThere's is no denying it after a second week, Caleb Williams is Oklahoma's quarterback. This OU offense looks completely different under the direction of Williams. Carey and Eddie break it all down in this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast. The defense was rough once again, but the bodies are getting thin and it's starting to take it's toll. Billy Bowman wasn't an instant success at cornerback and what could have been a laugher was too close because of TCU's big plays. Nevertheless, OU has Kansas, Texas Tech and a bye week to get healthy. Also, we can't help but notice that Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams seem to be connecting on the sidelines as the offense continues to look better and better each week. Also, OU has a lot of good receivers. Good for Jadon Haselwood and we're looking forward to seeing more Mike Woods too. Sooners win it 52-31! Learn more about your ad choices.

Postgame: An incredible comeback. Lincoln's next QB move is what?
EIt was one of the craziest days of football the OU-Texas rivalry has ever seen. There were huge swings of emotion brought on by big plays, big mistakes and big QB changes. Caleb Williams replaced Spencer Rattler at QB and helped lead the Sooners to victory. The defense was terrible and then awesome. It's difficult to wrap our heads around everything we saw today in Dallas. But we're trying to do just that. Carey and Eddie start things off but we're soon joined by Josh as well. What do we think Lincoln Riley will do moving forward? We know what he should do. But this is a sensitive situation. What a win though. It's like the season just got a massive reboot and we're here for it. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Postgame: It's never quite what you expect even when it's good
EMuch like OU's 37-31 win over Kansas State, the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast followed a similar script. Recorded at midnight starting at a gas station just outside of Wichita, Eddie and Carey started recording the pod. It went well, but around 3 a.m. when Carey finally got home, he crashed and failed to finish uploading the pod. Thankfully, he recovered before the day was done and got it uploaded. Alex Grinch is probably mad at us as he was his defense. Like Spencer Rattler, he had a great performance. But sleep, like boneheaded penalties, took it's toll on the victory. Eddie and Carey breakdown what we saw in Manhattan and there was a lot of good. But the defense's inability to get off the field against a hobbled Skylar Thompson was frustrating to watch at times. One thing is sure, OU and Alex Grinch will be happy to never see Skylar Thompson and Deuce Vaughn together again. Also, we did a lot of speeding in our Eskridge Lexus. Don't tell OHP.

POSTGAME: OU wins 16-13, but tonight will always be Rattler's boo bird game
EOklahoma never led West Virginia Saturday night on Owen Field until the clock ran out. That's when Gabe Brkic hit a 30-yard field goal to give the Sooners a 16-13 victory over the Mountaineers. But this game will be remembered or something even more memorable. Fans were boo'ing Spencer Rattler. And others started chanting, "We want Caleb" during the game. How Rattler handles this going forward will define his legacy. But he also needs more help from the offensive line and some faith in the run game from his head coach and playcaller, Lincoln Riley. The defense had a very solid night holding WVU to just 226 total yards of offense. Carey and Eddie are here to break it all down and giving their advice to Rattler on how to handle the boo birds moving forward. It's another edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

Postgame: Looking for answers as to why OU can't take it to the next level
EOklahoma beats Nebraska 23-16 today in Norman and everyone feels a different way about it. Heck, everyone on the Scoop staff feels a different way about it. Carey and Eddie start breaking it all down and why the offense and Spencer Rattler can't figure it out. Then we're joined by Josh McCuistion as the discussion turns up a notch. What is good about this team? Who is Spencer Rattler? What is this OU offense? Can it be fixed at this point or are we just waiting on an eventual disaster. Also, we let Josh get involved in some John Mayer discussion since he decided to join us. No recruiting talk tonight. This is just straight postgame podcast goodness as always.

POSTGAME: We have nothing to complain about but CFB was weird Saturday
EThis time the game really was over by halftime. Spencer Rattler was great, the defense was dominant, the week leading up to Western Carolina was brutal in practices. OU was so dominant on defense it was like one big nameless, faceless group. Danny Stutsman led the team in tackles. So what do you take out of a dominant performance against an overmatched opponent? All you can do is just keep moving forward and thank the lucky stars you aren't Texas or Iowa State this week. And you seek out that opponent that will help you find your old friend: adversity. And Texas? Seriously? Wow! Also the sun rises in the east and Iowa always beats Iowa State early in the season. Carey also started drinking a big glass of whiskey during this podcast and was probably a bit drunk at the end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Postgame: Not what we expected in the opener. OU beats Tulane 40-35
EOklahoma opened the season Saturday afternoon in Norman. And what looked like a blowout turned into a nail biter. Oklahoma's offense went stale in the second half and the defense gave up enough to make it interesting. We're left scratching our heads to what we saw, what went wrong and what actually worked. We breakdown just about the entire roster and coaching staff in this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. OU wins 40-35, but it'll be a week of reflection around here. That's starts now.

We breakdown the stars of the game, the biggest plays and what this all means going forward. And in some strange way we hopefully are welcoming back a much more normal type of college football in 2021.

Oklahoma takes home Big 12 Championship
EAfter OU lost to Iowa State and started off their Big 12 Conference season 0-2, no one expected they would get a rematch in the Big 12 Championship game. But that's exactly what happened and the OU defense put up another monster performance up front and forced 3 interceptions out of Brock Purdy. Carey and Eddie breakdown Oklahoma's 27-21 over Iowa State and had out plenty of deserved praise. A bowl game will be announced soon and then the offseason could determine if these Sooners are going to head into 2021 as one of the favorites to win it all next year. The offense stalled, Lincoln Riley got too conservative and the game got close in the end. But the Sooners won it all again and continue marching forward to bigger and better victories in the future.

OU overcomes massive absences on defense, still plays lights out
EOklahoma beat Baylor 27-14 Saturday night in the final home game of this crazy 2020 season. It wasn't the type of game anyone expected. OU's defense was ravaged by missing starters and Robert Barnes was moved to a starting safety position after he was moved to linebacker this year. The offense sputtered through much of the game, the offensive line struggled and Baylor looked like a team that was capable of shocking the Sooners. But even with so many players out, OU's defense stepped up and carried the offense, 12-yard punts, turnovers in the endzone, missing coaches and everything thing else college football upset gods wanted to throw their way.

Postgame: Bedlam beatdown as OU's offense proves it's legit
EIt wasn't always easy, but Rhamondre Stevenson and the OU offense came alive at the end, and the OU defense held down the Oklahoma State Cowboys most of the day. Mike Gundy got wishy washy with his quarterbacks and Lincoln Riley looked like his vintage best self, dialing up some tricks and running circles around the Pokes on offense. Spencer Rattler had his best big game of his career and the OU pass rush made it impossible for OSU to get anything going offensively. The Sooners now control their own destiny as they work to get back to a Big 12 title game in Arlington. Eddie and Carey breakdown everything we saw Saturday night in a 41-13 beatdown in Norman.

OU wins 62-9 over KU. Rattler gave us a scare and Stogner is a concern
ELots of turnovers on both sides and even more replay delays made the first half disjointed and muddied. But the Sooners just kept rolling against Big 12 competition. Spencer Rattler gave everyone a scare with a bruised hip and Austin Stogner still is a concern. But the defensive line had its most dominant day yet and the defense beat up KU's quarterback all day long. Alex Grinch continues to get production out of his youth on defense and Oklahoma just pounded Kansas into submission Saturday afternoon in Norman. It was good to be home but another big one happens in two weeks. OU works to get back control over its own destiny against Oklahoma State. Carey, Eddie and Bob have your complete wrap-up.

OU gets back two studs and annihilates Texas Tech 62-28
EThe Sooners keep getting better after their 0-2 start. With a 62-28 win over Texas Tech, OU is putting together complete performances on both sides of the ball. And now that Ronnie Perkins and Rhamondre Stevenson are back, OU has more weapons than ever. An easy win over Texas followed a key loss by OSU to Texas. And Kansas State lost at West Virginia. The Sooners are just a couple of weeks from controlling their own destiny in the Big 12.

OU had an impressive weekend and we don't know how to feel
EThe Sooners go into TCU and play their only complete Big 12 game of the year. They almost did it against Texas, but they fell apart near the end just like they did against Kansas State and Iowa State. The hope was OU could build on what they showed in the OT period against Texas. That's exactly what they did on defense as Alex Grinch got his team to play their most complete game of the season. Eddie and Carey break down what they saw from our studios in Norman while Bob slaved away on his keyboard from Ft. Worth. Join us in trying to figure out how to survive in this new world where OU football is giving you almost everything you want to see. It's a strange place for us to find ourselves. Also, Carey tries to defend the legacy of Chris Chester while simultaneously showing why no one , including himself, remembers Chris Chester all that well.

Oklahoma steals Red River victory from the jaws of defeat
EIt was a crazy day as usual at the Cotton Bowl. OU appeared to have victory secured but the defense reverted to their form over the last two weeks. But did the Sooners start to find something on offense with Spencer Rattler and several receivers like Austin Stogner, Theo Wease and Drake Stoops? The defense used a lot of youngsters and it all looked really good. Lincoln Riley had a gut check as a coach. He wasn't perfect. He made some questionable decisions. But at least he hasn't been branded as a three time loser. Sam Ehlinger showed a lot of heart, but the OU defense won out in the end. The defensive line was really good again but the secondary joined in a little bit too. Eddie and Carey break it all down and we're ready for the bye week after a much needed win for Sooner fans.

How bad is it going to get? Has Riley let the program slip?
EAMES, Iowa - Carey is in Ames where the Sooners took on the Cyclones and it once again did not go in OU's favor. We expected a rebound after Kansas State. But it seemed like much of the same in Ames. The offense wasn't resilient, the defense was bland and uninspiring. Even the special teams had a massive gaffe during the game at a critical moment. Carey, Eddie and Bob all join up to talk about the game and the repercussions mean for OU. How bad could this all get? Has the OU program become #soft? Texas, TCU and Oklahoma State are still on the schedule. There aren't a lot of guaranteed wins left for this Sooners team. Spencer Rattler was fine, the defensive line was good, but everyone else, get ready for a tongue lashing. We're headed for something really interesting with OU and 2020. We just don't know how interesting yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
What the hell happened? OU loses 38-35 to KSU
EIn an especially NSFW version of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast Carey and Eddie discuss the Sooners 38-35 loss to Kansas State Saturday afternoon. It's not the drunken podcast, but it's the bleep free podcast for those looking to get their full frustrations out with us. Spencer Rattler played like a 5-star for a while, but when prosperity turned to adversity, he wasn't ready. But it was the OU defense that was the real star of Saturday's shitshow. What happened Alex Grinch? And what does Lincoln Riley really need to fix when he looks in the mirror? He can start with penalties and the discipline of this football team. It's never a great time for a loss, but this is truly one of the most shocking losses in the post-Stoops era of OU football. The Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast is back!

Carey, Eddie and Bob breakdown what we saw from the pressbox and give you our takeaways from the opener. Spencer Rattler was the star, but what about Marvin Mims and other youngsters on the offense.

Sooners defense looks playoff ready. Is the rest of team?
EThe gang comes to you live from Jerry World where we break down the Sooners Big 12 Championship overtime win over Baylor. The defense was awesome for most of the game, but a third string quarterback gave the Sooners fits. We hear from Lincoln Riley, Jalen Hurts and Kenneth Murray on the win.

A complete win at OSU. Recapping the stars from the 34-16 Bedlam win.
EThe boys are fresh off the trip to Stillwater where the Sooners put together their most complete performance of the season in a 34-16 victory over the Cowboys. Kennedy Brooks stole the spotlight from Chuba Hubbard and then the defense bashed him over the head with it. The Sooners were just dominating in the second half of play once again. Parnell Motley was an absolute star on the defensive side of the ball as he wreaked havoc on the OSU offense. Carey, Eddie and Bob are here to break it all down as the Sooners now move on to the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington next weekend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Can we even make sense out of OU's 28-24 win over TCU? We try
EOn this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast... Well we didn't have to drive all over Texas this week but we do have a late night podcast for you after the Sooners beat TCU 28-24. After covering every second of this team the last three weeks, we're still having trouble making heads or tails of what this team really is. And what Jalen Hurts is as a QB. We understand if you are confused. Is it the defense, the playcalling, the quarterback, the turnovers, the lack of turnovers? There's a lot to like about this OU team. They move to 10-1 on the season and they'll play for another Big 12 Championship in Arlington. The defense is coming up with turnovers to seal the deal and we saw some improvement against TCU Saturday night. It's also good that Oregon lost to Arizona State. So why is it so hard to get excited about this OU's teams chances of reaching the playoffs yet? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
It was the greatest comeback in OU football history and we were there
EIt's hard to say we can't believe what we just saw on this week's edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast because we were actually there to see it with our own eyes. And we couldn't stop watching it. Jalen Hurts was terrible, then he was amazing. The defense was the same way as they finally caught a hold of the turnover bug and ended up sealing the win thanks to some timely defense. The Sooners had the biggest comeback in program history Saturday night in Waco and it just happened to come against the undefeated Baylor Bears. Are the Sooners a lock for the Big 12 title game? Do they want Baylor again? Is the defense finally back? That's too many questions. We still can't believe what we just witnessed at McLane Stadium. Learn more about your ad choices.

OU squeaks out a 42-41 win over Iowa State. What does it all mean?
EOklahoma had two weeks to prepare to face Iowa State in Norman. For 3 quarters it looked like this team had taken the loss in Manhattan seriously and come out ready to become a dominant football team. Then the fourth quarter happened. OU's defense had been improved through the first seven games, then it fell apart against Kansas State. After Iowa State, we're left to wonder if this defense is losing it's luster. Carey, Eddie and Bob join up just after the game to talk about what we saw, where this team is headed and where Lincoln Riley and Alex Grinch have to go next. How messed up is this offense right now? Injuries are piling up and Jalen Hurts is still a kink in the running game. And what happened to all the playmakers we saw developing on the defensive side of the ball. Yes, the Sooners won, but with Baylor on the horizon, so many questions still remain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alex Grinch's defense steals the show from CeeDee Lamb
EThis edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast comes directly from the pressbox at the Cotton Bowl following the Sooners 34-27 victory over the Longhorns. The Sooners defense was dominant at times and overall, it was the best big game defensive performance in recent memory. CeeDee Lamb also put his mark on this series with a game for the ages. Jalen Hurts finally got to compare the stage of the Red River Rivalry to the Iron Bowl. And even though Hurts had his ups and downs and the Sooners were more dominating than the final score indicates, the defense made up for any deficiencies. Carey, Eddie and Bob break it all down with plenty of soundbites from Lincoln Riley, Alex Grinch, CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Hurts and even Tom Herman. The Sooners move to 6-0 and we break it all down. So much stock up, so little stock down. Eddie made College Gameday this morning too! It's the best breakdown podcast you're going to find as usual. Learn more about your ad choices.
