What’s one word to describe Brent Venables?
We asked an OU athletic director, an OU general manager, a couple of players on the team and some media members at SEC Media Day.
Now that the trip is almost over, I want to answer one of the questions we’ve been asked the most: “How are you guys able to afford a trip like this?”
The answer is actually pretty simple. We saved up for this trip over the past year, and it wasn’t nearly as expensive as most people probably assume.
We stayed mostly in budget hotels, and always split the cost between the three of us. Our flight to the US was also only 255€ for example. The biggest expenses were the rental cars and World Cup tickets.
In total the 6 weeks here with everything combined probably cost around 6-7k (It‘s probably 6k but since we also saved money thanks to invitations like the hotel stay in Houston, let‘s say it would’ve been around 7k). I know that’s still a lot of money, but it’s nowhere near what some people seemed to think we were spending. We met other World Cup tourists who told us their trips cost more than $40,000. If you‘re ok with not living in luxury than travelling doesn‘t need to be this expensive.
I’ll calculate the exact total once I’m back home.
Heading to Tampa for 2026 SEC Media Days
Here is how I plan to vote in the media poll

If you missed President Trump's address to the nation tonight you need to know what he just released because it is significant regardless of where you stand politically.
Four major bombshells were dropped tonight with declassified documents to back them up.
First. The federal government has known for years that electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems are vulnerable to foreign attack. Declassified intelligence assessments spanning from January 2020 to June 2026 state that Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea all have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure. The same documents say centralized voter registration databases and pollbooks are the most vulnerable targets. They knew this and said nothing publicly.
Second. China stole 220 million American voter files. Names, addresses, phone numbers, party affiliation. The largest compromise of election data in American history. Intelligence agencies knew about it starting in 2020 and according to the White House, members of the intelligence community actively suppressed and downplayed the information rather than alerting the President or the American people.
Third. The FBI uncovered evidence of large scale voter registration fraud in Michigan in 2020. State police raided a Democrat get out the vote organization in Muskegon. Canvassers admitted to FBI agents they signed voter registration forms in other people's names and submitted registrations for people who did not exist. The Biden DOJ slow walked the investigation for years. Director Patel has now been directed to fully investigate and prosecute.
Fourth. A DHS review found approximately 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote in federal elections. And that is with Democrat states refusing to share their voter files. The real number is higher.
You can agree or disagree with Trump on anything. But these are declassified government documents. The White House has published them for anyone to download and read. This is not a speech. This is a document dump.
Go read them yourself at and form your own opinion.
Working Man's Truth — No Spin, Just Truth
“It’s espionage.”
Catherine Herridge reveals a terrifying possibility: China may have the ability to build a digital dossier on MILLIONS of Americans.
Herridge warns that China’s collection of data goes far beyond voter rolls...and the scariest part is what that information could be used for.
HERRIDGE: “China is one of the biggest collectors of data on the planet.”
“So if you take that 220 million voter rolls and you combine it with something called the SF-86, those are the security clearance applications that were compromised back in 2015, 22 million files.”
“And then you combine it with all the health information that’s been hacked…”
“You can really build this kind of digital composite of an individual and you can use that for, you know, voter registration fraud, you can use that for identity theft.”
“And significantly, you can also use it to recruit American citizens to your efforts.”
“So it’s not just about the collection of the data around the vote…”
PAVLICH: “It’s espionage.”
HERRIDGE: “Exactly.”

Tennessee❤️
When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.
The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.
One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.
When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:
“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”
We will be back.
A tourist was tossed in the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Pretty wild how quickly things escalated and how much ground the bull bison covers after it finished wallowing in the recreational area.
4 sentences that can save a marriage:
1. “I was wrong.”
2. “I understand.”
3. “I’m sorry.”
4. “What can I do better?”
Those four sentences have probably saved more marriages than any marriage seminar ever has.
