Oklahoma Sooners Live 212

Oklahoma Sooners Live – Episode 212 Hosts: Rob Bass (Rob Fontenot) & MCM Rod / Roger (Roger Schilling) Platform: OklahomaVOCFB Air date: July 26, 2026 (Sunday, 6:30 p.m.) Sponsor: FanDuel (multiple mentions) Guest/regular: Grandmaster H (chat participant; given the official “big guy” name this episode) Technical hiccups / cold open Stream opened with repeated color/branding changes and an Auburn intro video that hijacked the show. Hosts blamed “Auburn guys” scheduling over them, joked about making Auburn a new rival, and tried (unsuccessfully at first) to kill the video. Chat was quiet early; Grandmaster H was the main live voice. Opening topics – SEC Media Day & preseason disrespect Frustration over OU’s low placement despite a 10-2 playoff season and perceived improvement. Multiple All-Americans / high draft talent (including the nation’s top defensive player and OL Curtis) still left the team looking “low.” Nick Saban’s top-four SEC teams: Texas, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M (OU and Alabama left out). Hosts put OU no lower than 3–4 and above LSU/A&M. ESPN SEC power rankings had OU 8th (behind Texas, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, A&M, Ole Miss, Tennessee). Permanent rivals discussion: Texas (obvious), Missouri (Big Eight/12 history), and the surprise addition of Ole Miss. Hosts preferred A&M or Arkansas historically; called Ole Miss an “invented” rival. Early-season gauntlet (including Michigan, Georgia, Texas) makes 5-0 difficult; floor viewed as roughly 2-3. EA Sports simulator already had Texas beating OU. Positive notes: top-5 national OL ranking (#5), strong defense reputation, Jason Witten joining the staff (players buying in), and the idea that media disrespect creates bulletin-board material. Heisman QB seasons ranking / Landry Jones appreciation Quick look at Oklahoma’s top single-season passing yards: Bradford, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, Jason White, etc. Landry Jones sits only two yards behind Bradford and owns three of the top-six seasons yet remains under-appreciated—hosts compared the current team’s “disrespected” status to Jones. “OU Football Saturday Rules” Don’t invite me anywhere (game day is sacred). Don’t call (won’t answer; risk of spoilers or hate). Don’t text anything except OU football content. Tune into this show Sundays at 6:30 if you want to talk. Light digs at OSU fans calling them “Gooners” and Bedlam basketball talk. Best OU players by jersey number (41–55) Segment format: each host picks/notes notable wearers (often overlapping). Highlights: 41 – Max Boydston (consensus All-American TE, 1954, Muskogee); James Winchester (long snapper, multi-Super Bowl NFL). 42 – Rufus Alexander; Darius Johnson (returner/CB). 43 – Rod Shoate (LB, 1972–74, national champion, two-time first-team All-American, ~420 tackles, three-time All-American). 44 – Brian Bosworth (1985 national champions, iconic personality, “NCAA” shirt, later Seahawks/Bo Jackson moment). 45 – Lydell Carr (fan favorite) vs. Joe Bowden (All-American, 9 NFL seasons). 46 – Darryl Goodloe (noted that 41 and 46 were historically “freshman/dead” numbers). 47 – Ronaldo (leading rusher in 2000, multi-time academic All-Conference/All-American). 48 – Greg DeQuazy (Midwest City; recent death noted March 2026; tied for most INT-return TDs in a season). 49 – Waddy Young (OU’s first consensus All-American; WWII bomber captain, Purple Heart, died in mid-air collision 1945 after final transmission “we’re okay”). 50 – Dante Jones (consensus All-American, 312 tackles, Orange Bowl MVP). 51 – Kurt Burris (center/LB, consensus All-American, Heisman runner-up 1954, Muskogee/Nowata). 52 – Vince LaRosa / Ralph Chase (first regular All-American, tackle). 53 – Jerry Tubbs (center/LB, two-time national champion, Outland/Rockne-type honors, All-Century). 54 – Marquise Hayes (All-Big 12, drafted by Cardinals) / Tom Catlin (another two-way center-LB). 55 – Jammal Brown (Outland Trophy, first-round pick, multi-time All-Pro, Super Bowl champ; zero sacks allowed final two OU seasons). Next week planned for 56–70. Side discussion on single-digit numbers, zero as “earned excellence,” and dislike of duplicate numbers on offense/defense.
