Ep. 174 - Sooners Continue Dominant Play in Bedlam Beatdown

In the opening take, Grant explains why Bedlam was over before it even kicked off. Then Lee joins to briefly talk a little bit about OU men's basketball (4:10), before reacting to the very first College Football Playoff rankings (6:00). Would OU look to schedule an extra non-conference game (10:30)? Lincoln Riley really pushed the "eye test" when it comes to picking playoff teams (15:20). We turn our attention to Bedlam and your "3-word reviews" which touch on WWE, OU's complete game, OU still being "Big Brother", and was the offensive line hit and miss in that game (22:00)? Lincoln Riley most certainly didn't get cute, except for that one play... and is Mikey Henderson OU's true RB2 right now (30:20)? We know this isn't an OSU podcast, but we talk about Mike Gundy's bizarre conservative behavior in Bedlam. Plus Spencer Sanders vs. Shane Illingworth, and OSU's chances of getting better recruits (38:20). Is this OU team more complete than the groups that made the playoff in the past? And no surprise we complement Spencer Rattler a bunch as we are wont to do (53:05). We poke fun at an OSU website for a pre-Bedlam take, which will obviously open ourselves up to criticism from them (57:20). Talking penalties in the secondary, defending Tre Brown, we're still waiting for OU to face a truly good passing attack but at least we're seeing a bunch of new faces in the secondary (59:45). A listener exposes Lee's lack of knowledge on Greek mythology and we find out there's some TV show that we clearly don't know (1:07:10). Did Rattler leave some plays on the field (1:10:00)? OU technically does not control its own destiny to the Big 12 Championship game (1:15:15). Finally we get into Bookie's dumb penalty, which Grant provides some defense of. Also, Lincoln Riley's spirited defense of Bookie as a member of OU's program (1:16:40). We realize we didn't really talk much about Rhamondre Stevenson or Ronnie Perkins (1:28:00). We finish up the show by focusing on West Virginia beginning with the Mountaineers' offense (1:29:30). West Virginia has the 4th best defense in all of college football (1:39:45). This is a text book "let down" spot for the Sooners (1:48:50). Lastly the guys tell you their gut feelings for Saturday in Morgantown (1:50:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
