Podcasts about Sooners

Oklahoma Sooners land elite running backs coach Deland McCullough, sparking optimism for a revamped ground attack and renewed recruiting momentum. Can McCullough's proven track record at programs like Notre Dame and Indiana finally unlock consistent production despite injuries and youth on the offensive line? Brian Smith and John Williams break down Oklahoma's rapidly filling 2027 recruiting class, the high-stakes pursuit of quarterback Jamison Roberts, and why the Sooners are killing it on the recruiting trail. The discussion spotlights roster upgrades through the transfer portal—including E'Marion Harris and dynamic receivers—and examines how the offense and John Mateer can capitalize on SEC experience. Plus, they explore the Sooners' elite defense and which emerging talents could fill key gaps. Will Oklahoma's bold moves put them in playoff contention once again?

In this episode, I gave my initial thoughts about this year's super bowl. Bill Belichick not being first ballot makes no sense but Eli Manning getting denied a second time makes perfect sense. People are hatin on Shedeur as usual. Arizona vs BYU lived up to the hype with a terrible ending. Mavs-Hornets was a huge surprise. So glad John Wall got his jersey retired. Sean Mannion as the Eagles coordinator is interesting to me. Kansas vs OU basketball 2016 was amazing but also had a terrible ending. The 2012 Sooners still frustrate me to this day!

Southeastern 16's Graham Doty and Chris Lee preview Oklahoma baseball for the 2026 season. Topics include: Coach Skip Johnson is not just one of the league's best quotes, but he gets so much out of the Sooners' talent, which is often heavily mined through the JUCO ranks. Expect Johnson's teams to run and defend well and his pitchers to develop (just as he's done with Cade Horton, Kyson Witherspoon and others). The Sooners return every-day players Jason Walk, Jaxon Willits, Kyle Branch, Trey Gambill and Dayton Tockey, and returnees Dasan Harris and Drew Dickerson had major roles at times last year. Transfers Camden Johnson, Cayden Brumbaugh, Deiten LaChance and perhaps Brendan Brock could be big contributors for Oklahoma, not to mention big-time freshman recruit Alec Blair. There's a lot of uncertainty around pitching roles but returning arms, Jason Bodin, Reid Hensley, Gavryn Jones and Jaden Barfield have held important ones for the Sooners before, and Cameron Johnson has always had huge potential if he can throw strikes. Transfers LJ Mercurius, Joey McManus, Jackson Cleveland, Mason Bixby and others could have important impacts. &COLLAR Stretchy. Wrinkle-proof. Built to look sharp. Welcome to Workleisure.

Recorded: December 22nd 2025 | Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are back on the bus with a special guest this week — College Football Playoff quarterback Ty Simpson of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Before Ty hops on, the boys kick things off by breaking down Taylor Lewan’s trip to Norman, Oklahoma and College Station, including a little sideline-pass drama that had things getting spicy. Will Compton also recaps his family Christmas trip to New York City — which somehow went fantastic. Then Ty Simpson joins the show and this one takes off. Ty dives into his journey to Alabama, what it was like being recruited by Nick Saban, and the chaos of winning in Norman against the Sooners — complete with 50 Cent, wild fanfare, and an unforgettable atmosphere. He breaks down the Crimson Tide’s epic comeback, his mindset in the middle of the madness, and what it takes to stay ready when your moment comes. Ty’s been a Tier 1 Bussin’ With The Boys supporter for a long time, and the boys reflect on first meeting him back when he was a third-string quarterback — leading to plenty of laughs, stories, and locker-room energy. Plus, Jack McPherson sneaks in a breakdown of a hockey game featuring Matt “Ferda” Malone because… of course he does. Football stories, playoff pressure, Alabama culture, and classic bus chaos — this one’s got it all.Big Hugs, Tiny Kisses TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro2:58 Will In NYC7:38 The Boys CFP Trip41:26 TY SIMPSON INTERVIEW STARTS41:50 Ty Almost Took Taylor Out43:13 Alabama’s Chip On Their Shoulder46:29 Mindset Being Down 17-050:04 The Oklahoma Atmosphere53:32 How Important Was The Two Week Break54:31 Leadership Of Coach DeBoer 56:49 Why He Decided To Stay At Alabama 1:01:32 How Tempting Was The Portal? 1:03:52 Will And Ty Have Met Before 1:07:16 Bud Light Question1:08:56 Ty Is The Man1:12:01 Alabama Coming Back1:15:08 Will Held Himself Back On Twitter1:17:19 Michigan Still Has No Coach1:24:04 Matt Malone Is A Beer League Hockey StudSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
