R Mason Thomas has been like Mariano Rivera in the fourth quarter. #closer #Sooners

#Sooners won’t need to paint this again.

#Bedlam s underway.

Dan Lanning is the reason why casinos are always good investments. #OregonDucks #Washington

#Hookem with the first mistake. #Sooners strike first on Gabriel's TD. Sooners up 7-0 with 13:11 left in first quarter.

We have canons, shotguns, smoke bombs and sparklers. #RedRiverRivalry is about to kickoff. #Sooners #Hookem

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

The food court is a little tight. #RedRiverRivalry #collegegameday

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

It’s antiquated and dank. But for one Saturday each October it overflows with anticipation, exhilaration and despair. #RedRiverRivalry #Sooners #Hookem

Michigan had 2 guys drafted in the top 15 and Hunter Dickinson and went 18-16? If were Howard, I wouldn’t be at the Draft. I would be at a clinic … taking notes. #NBADraft

More on Venables on Rouse: He understood he wasn't quite ready for the NFL. He needed the challenge and fills an important need for us. #Sooners

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on OT Walter Rouse: He's a massive athlete. Coach Bedenbaugh recruited him out of high school and he had an outstanding career at Stanford.

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on improving facilities: We need to make improvements in every single area of this program … Everything is important no matter what conference you're in. #Sooners

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on Trace Ford transferring from OSU: I don't look at where they come from … It's all about the person and the fit on and off the field. #Sooners

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on using the transfer portal to upgrade the defensive line: We have to become a more physical team. These guys were incredibly productive when healthy … We needed to reinforce the trenches. #Sooners

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on the non-conference schedule going forward: I think it will align with the way it's always been since Joe (Castiglione) has been here. There are going to be marquee games. #Sooners

[John Shinn @john_shinn]

Venables on the SEC move coming in 2024: I think it's gonna be great for Oklahoma but our focus has to be on the Big 12. We need to compete in this league right now. #Sooners
