"We're very optimistic," Stoops said. "Both guys (Sunday) tested out very well. This morning, same thing. They're actually going to do some limited work today. We feel very optimistic that they'll be ready to play."

"I do think there’s some entitlement with this team. They sit around thinking it’s just going to happen," Brown said. "They played hard, but I mean (play) with passion, fun and excitement. It’s all about confidence and passion …. I can handle a loss if we are playing with passion. I can’t if we’re not. " "I told them if one of your guys is playing bad, I can change them. If three of your guys are playing bad, I change you," Brown said. "I am ready to play each week." "I’m the CEO who’s responsible for it," Brown said. "(But) I expect Greg Davis to run the offense and get his coaches to get their players ready to play. I expect Will Muschamp to run the defense and get his players, get his coaches to get the guys ready to play … I tell them all the time, ‘Get it fixed.’ That’s their job."

It was a fast 90 minutes of internet radio as JTE and I discussed the weekend of college football that put Oklahoma at the top. Here's a list of our discussion topics.

"You can’t replace No. 33," Arnaud said of Robinson. "He is so knowledgeable in this offense. He is a vital tool for this offenses’ progress, but when you have young guys like Shontrelle (Johnson), Jeff (Woody) and James (White), who will get a bunch of significant snaps this week in practice, too, I bet, it helps."

That's the rumor being floated out there by NewsOK curmudgeon writer Berry Tramel. This utterly ridiculous and clearly another shining example of how pathetic print media has become. To even suggest this calls into question his credibility and while he says he thinks it is "silly" that sure didn't stop him from printing it. If there is even a hint of truth to this, I just got even more excited about the upcoming games in Dallas. I knew they were dumb down in Austin, but doing something like this would force the powers that be to create a new word just to describe their stupidity.

As much as I love my Sooners I just can't think of a single thing I saw on the field Saturday that would make me think that they're worthy of a first place vote. Let alone two!

Tew, a first-team preseason all-Mountain West pick who rushed for 970 yards last year, is still undergoing tests, but he might have a broken bone in the back of his hand.

Here's the second part of the Tomahawk Nation game preview. Really good and in depth.
