After watching the OU game tonight, I'm glad we decided to hire Littrell. I'm no longer convinced Lincoln is the "genius" everybody (media) has made him out to be. 

OU is loaded with talent but if it wasn't for Mayfield, OU wouldn't have had as good of a season as they did.

They played the #1 undefeated team and #1 seed in the playoff.

Could it be they just ran up against a better team?

Bringing Littrell anywhere near this subject is silly.

Trust me this guy is good. I went to school with him. He turned UNT down because he is waiting for a job he can't turn down. All of Stoops coordinators land good jobs eventually and that's his plan.

Littrell: "Hi, I'm Seth Littrell"

90: "I'm sure you're highly over-rated.  Or, if you're not, I'm sure the competition was weak this year.  Or, if it wasn't, we could have won by more.  Did I mention I paid a lot for club seats?"

Mayfield is probably the most overrated college quarterback since Matt Leinart. I guess having two NFL running backs lining up behind you will do that to you.

Oklahoma is also the #4 rated team. They shouldn't have gotten stuffed like they did. Period.

I actually disagree. He's had success with Tech and with OU. And 2 NFL rbs? Other than Perine I'm not sure who you are talking about. Even Perine had a lackluster year relative to his performance last year.

Littrell did more with less talent against the #1 Clemson team not too long ago...

Mayfield only had success against scrub teams while at Tech. It was embarrassing watching him run around like a clown against Texas that year. He'd be 2nd or 3rd string if he were still there. Mahomes is much better than Mayfield ever was. Perine and Mixon will both be playing on Sundays, without a doubt.

Agree to disagree on this. Perine was not the Perine of last year. He and Mixon may play on Sunday's but their showing this year is not why they are ranked #4. If Knight were playing this team would probably not be in the top 25.

I believe Littrell was the better hire because of what 90 mercilessly preaches.  He does a lot with the talent he has and does not work with the riches of a power program like oh u.  

Emmit,classic.

Littrell's offense seemed to have a much easier time competing vs the same defense, who wasn't missing their best DL the whole game.  Just saying.

Mayfield is indeed overrated. He's a poor man's Manziel. 

 Any OU player and "Poor Man" just doesn't sound right. 

Now, if Mayfield had been playing for us.........

Ok, that's funny.

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
