Breaking: Oklahoma and coach Brent Venables have agreed to a new 6-year contract that averages $10.5 million per year, sources tell @PeteThamel.
It adds two years to the current deal and goes through 2031.
Trent Williams was asked who stood out on the 49ers in their preseason game with the Titans:
“Boomer Sooner, Gracen Halton. You know it. G-Baby, man. Obviously, Oklahoma guy, so I’m a little biased, but I think the world kinda seen what he has to offer — very explosive, short-area quickness, really powerful. Puts you in the mind of D.J. Jones a little bit for what he had when he was here.”
What a blessing it has been to share a big part of my career with you!! Drafted on the same night by the same team in 2008… time flies. I learned so much from you and had so much fun playing with you. One of the best competitors ever and one of the best teammates I ever had. I wish everyone had the chance to know you up close like I did. Congrats on an incredible career @russwest44

Erling Haaland, in his first-ever World Cup, led his nation of less than six million people to the quarterfinals, their best-ever finish.
He scored seven times in six games and made his mark on the global stage.

Cape Verde made us all believe 🇨🇻
A nation population of about 530,000 people... had MILLIONS cheering them on during the World Cup.
Incredible effort 👏
The last time OU won a national title in baseball was 1994.
That same year:
- The United States hosted the World Cup.
- The New York Knicks made the NBA Finals.
In 2026:
- The United States is hosting the World Cup.
- The New York Knicks made (won) the NBA Finals.
- Oklahoma Baseball wins the National Championship.
Sometimes sports have a way of rhyming across generations. And thirty-two years later, the echoes led back to Norman.

OU finished 11th in the SEC (14-16), went 0-1 in Hoover, and trailed No. 2 Ga Tech 8-2 on the brink of elimination. Since:
⚾ Outscored GT 21-7, winning twice
⚾ Swept Big 12 champ KU 21-3
⚾ Beat only top-8 seeds in Omaha
⚾ Won 10 of final 11
A truly remarkable title run! 👏
