    That's it. That's the review.

    I don't do Twitter/Facebook anymore because of politics, so I can't send my 3 word reviews. Maybe y'all can reach out to RedDirtSport to be your official Bluesky account (or make your own)?

  • Show overview

    I’ve been listening to your podcast for nearly two years now, thanks to a common man Jed Castles. I love the fan perspective of it as you give a different perspective and aren’t always wearing crimson glasses and point out obvious issues. Sometimes I’m a bit more hesitant to agree but must admit you are correct and with confidence can say both of you have finally made me see that Barnes is a Jag. Great show keep up the work.

    They do a good job talking OU Football. More of a fan perspective instead of a media perspective.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 399 - OU Smokes Kent State and Texas Hate Week is Here
Q: Do you think John Matier is playing Saturday?
Yes, I do. I have thought he was going to play against Texas since the moment they announced this.
Ep. 388 - Cooking With Grease
Q: Will Jayden Ott be as good or better than his 2023 version?
If he is healthy, he could be a key player that elevates the OU offense.
Ep. 388 - Cooking With Grease
Q: Can Bill Bedenbaugh improve this unit, especially with Mateer's tendency to hold on to the ball too long?
It's a fair question because issues in the past contribute to whether we can expect significant improvement from the offensive line this season.
Ep. 388 - Cooking With Grease
Q: How do you feel about the step up in competition for John Mateer in the SEC?
There are definitely challenges at the higher level, but he must learn to play on time and play within the system.
Ep. 369 - Bad Bowl Loss Clinches Another OU Losing Season Under Venables
Q: How did you feel about watching the game from Minnesota?
It was fine. I saw every single snap and it made the long drive back much quicker, but it was ultimately a frustrating experience like the rest of the season.
