Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce is well aware that his two new speedy teammates can do wonders for his own game once the season starts in September. After all, if opposing defenses need to pay attention to both Xavier Worthy and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, they may lose track of Kelce, who likes to bust zones in the middle of the field. That’s why Kelce was raving about both the receivers during an interview last month. “It’s unbelievable that (general manager Brett) Veach finds ways to bring in – not only guys that have talent, that have unbelievable skill sets but are good people.” K...

Dusty Dvoracek approves of Oklahoma‘s move to the SEC. On Monday, the former Oklahoma defensive lineman and current ESPN analyst praised SEC commissioner Greg Sankey. “I do think that the SEC has the best leader in all of college athletics in Greg Sankey,” Dvoracek said. “He’s playing chess while it seems like a lot of people are playing checkers.” On July 1, Oklahoma and Texas officially joined the SEC. The conference first accepted the two schools in 2021. However, it took three years for the move to become complete. In the fall, the Sooners and Longhorns will kick off their respective tenur...

Oklahoma will be under the microscope — along with Texas — as the Sooners enter the SEC and face one of the tougher schedules in the country this fall. But at least one SEC analyst is bullish on head coach Brent Venables having the Sooners in a good position. Speaking with reporters at the Oklahoma celebration of joining the league on July 1, Dusty Dvoracek explained his confidence in Venables and this Sooners team going into the 2024 season. From strong recruiting so far to a retooled defense, Dvoracek thinks Oklahoma will at least be holding serve. “I think that Year 3 Brent Venables, you lo...

There were several factors that led to the Oklahoma Sooners moving to the SEC. One of the key ones for athletic director Joe Castiglione was looking forward to the financial future of sports. At Oklahoma’s Welcome to the SEC press conference, Castiglione addressed the finances and opened up about how they’re going to impact athletics moving forward, particularly amid the changing landscape of college athletics. “If anybody’s been paying attention, you know that the expenses in college athletics or around college athletics are going up much faster than the rate of new revenue,” Joe Castiglione ...

Dusty Dvoracek believes Oklahoma fans could be in for a bit of an adjustment with the team joining the SEC. The Sooners are not used to much less than 10 wins, having failed to reach that mark only five times since 2000. One of those times was during the 2020 season, which was shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Another was in 2022 during the inaugural season for coach Brent Venables that saw OU playing with a depleted roster after several players transferred. The team finished 6-7, which was it’s first losing record since 1998. The move to the SEC brings with it a much more difficult schedule...

Jackson Arnold is feeling more comfortable in the Oklahoma offense as he prepares to enter his second season in Norman. The former five-star quarterback is set to be the Sooners’ starter in 2024 as they embark on their first year in the SEC. Arnold spent most of his true freshman season as the backup to Dillon Gabriel before making his first start in the Alamo Bowl against Arizona. He struggled, committing four turnovers (three interceptions) as he went 26-of-45 for 361 yards and two touchdowns. Some obstacles were to be expected in his first college start, but he’s been working to make the ne...

The Oklahoma Sooners‘ talented young star quarterback, Jackson Arnold, participated in this year’s Manning Passing Academy. While at the event, the young star quarterback fielded multiple questions about the upcoming season, one of which was about his level of excitement as Oklahoma prepares for its inaugural season in the SEC. “It’s extremely exciting, man,” said Arnold. “You know, everyone on campus is excited. I drive by this street called Main Street where a bunch of our restaurants, [and] you got people pot plastering up ‘we’re ready for the SEC’ on their things and stuff. So the whole ca...

Monday marked a beginning of a new chapter for Oklahoma athletics. Three years after news broke of their plans to do so, the Sooners officially moved to the SEC – a day that featured plenty of fanfare. OU has seen plenty of changes since that initial report came down in 2021, notably with Brent Venables now in as head football coach. While his first year was up-and-down, the Sooners finished with 10 wins last year and are preparing for a new look on offense with Jackson Arnold in at quarterback and Seth Littrell bringing his Air Raid-style offense to Norman. Add in some impressive talent back ...

The Oklahoma Sooners are gearing up for their first SEC football season and, ahead of that season, analyst Paul Finebaum identified two critical games that will determine Oklahoma’s success in 2024. As Finebaum explained on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, Oklahoma has a much more difficult schedule than Texas. That’s going to make the Sooners’ transition more difficult. However, the games against Tennessee and Alabama are going to be particularly important. “I think they’re in good shape, but unlike Texas’ schedule…pretty fortunate, Oklahoma’s is not,” Paul Finebaum said. “Oklahoma has two...

Oklahoma sent Brent Venables off into the SEC with a new extension after signing him to a contract worth $46 million over the next six years. It’s a decision that some have questioned but one that Paul Finebaum can see the reasoning behind in Norman. Finebaum shared his view on Venables’ deal during ‘McElroy and Cubelic In The Morning’ on Monday. To him, it was the Sooners giving an answer before anyone asked anything about him as their head coach, even if it potentially backfires going further into the decade. “I think Oklahoma felt he is the right guy and let’s not allow any questions to be ...
