Status on Umarov?

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Coach sounded a little chippy there at the end. Love it.

 

[DeltaSCVol]

I do hope for CJH that they win comfortably. Scoring 50 would be cool for him, but really a good solid W is what is needed.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Dude's locked in

 

[Through_The_T]

You can see it in his eyes. Heupel wants to take the soul of this OU team.

I was thinking the exact same. After the hugs and how-ya-beens are over this man has bad intentions in Norman.

 

[BruiserVol]

Dang, I was thinking the opposite. I was a bit surprised at how much time he spent talking about guys on that side that were at his wedding and how much he respected them.

I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me uncomfortable.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Does Heupel get booed by enough fans to be noticeable? If so, that could further stoke his fire.

I was back to hoping Venables has a good season…except for this week of course

 

[vol94fan]

Dang! OU is 143-13 at home during the last 25 years, per the Oklahoma FB Notes attachment.

We look great... still gonna be a hard win to achieve. Several of our key starters haven't played in big road games. OU may have struggled but they'll play their best of the season this game. Tough game

 

[superdave1984]

First real test for both teams. Who wants it more? Who needs it more? Who is more determined to take it? I think it is personal for Heupel, much more so than Venables. I think Heupel will want to make a statement, then will ease off the gas a bit. I really don't see OU scoring a whole lot.

Status on Umarov?

Our media has stopped asking about injuries because Heupel only gives vague non answers. Starting this Wednesday he does have to declare players OUT under the new SEC rules.

The man has class. He's got nothing to gain by starting something for the national media to report.

He does have long-term friends there and some less than friends there and I think everyone knows that. There's more to life than football with some of those folks and he's upfront about it.

In the end, coaching is a career and a profession and not the "I hate the other guy with all my heart and soul" that fans tend to display. He's a professional, not some screaming obscenities, flipping off players, mustard throwing fan.

I'm taking this as an anti-Kiffin post.

I'm taking this as an anti-Kiffin post.

Even Kiffin is a professional who likely has close personal friends among SEC coaches.

It's a small pool of people who do what they do. Coaching at the high levels is much like Senators or Supreme Court Justices.

Recall that the late Justice Scalia and the late Justice Ginsburg were bitter rivals professionally but vacationed together as friends.

That's not so great of an accomplishment when you consider that there is usually only 1 ranked opponent in your conference each year and you only play them at home every other year.

If you mean TX, they play them in Dallas.

That’s crazy talk!
Do you really expect me to believe there are actual, living human beings, who like Kiffin?!
I’m calling BS on that!

I would guess that Kiffen’s love of smartarsed twitter posts about rival teams likely makes it difficult to maintain a large friend circle in the SEC.
