I am an Oklahoma Football Alumni and fan. I believe the fan base should now be rooting for OSU to win the Big XII title. Especially since they’re playing Texas. As a rule for me I hope OSU wins every game but one, I hope Texas loses every game. Go Pokes.
Thankful to spend time with my O-Line brother Stockar McDougle. He was an All American, 1st round draft pick, and a great friend.

Transfer portal is not good for college football. Coaches leaving for another program without a penalty is not good for college football. NCAA needs to find a way to fix it.
I’ve had the opportunity to play in some big college football games. OU vs Neb and we won, OU vs KSU twice and we won both, OU vs OSU and we won, OU vs FSU in the Orange Bowl and we won. But my all time favorite is vs Texas and we won 63-14.

Junior year. Big neck roll, elbow sleeves, taped hands and fingers, donjoy knee braces…man I looked good.

look sharp, be sharp, play sharp.
I was a starter part of 1998 and projected to be a back up in 99 under a new staff. Torn a pec in the spring of 99. Fought back to start every game of 99 and 2000. I am thankful I stayed and didn’t transfer, it isn’t always the answer. Be patient, be a competitor.
Lost one of my oline brothers. Jason Bronson.

A great coach builds belief in the team. The team relies on each other for strength. A coach helps the team believe they can win no matter the opponent. Coach Stoops has us ready to play anybody in 2000, we believed.

I played through 3-8, 4-8, and 5-6 seasons at OU. You’ll never hear me complain about being 3-0. By the way we never started 3-0 in any of those seasons.
I played college football. I was not an NFL caliber player. Playing my senior year as a team captain on a team that won a national title greatly changed my life trajectory. Don’t understand what sports can do for people.
Sad to hear of Coach Blake’s passing today. He made a tremendous difference in my life. My 3rd year at OU he put me on scholarship. Thank you coach for believing in me. Take the time to tell those who made a difference in your life thank you.....
IMO it’s more important to have a team of guys who want to win games than a team of guys worried about their draft status, NIL. But I’m just an ole walk-on anyway.
I wear this to the gym to remind myself of a few things. We won 63-14. We won because we out worked them in the offseason. The Sooners are always better than the Longhorns.

It’s Sunday morning remember Christ died for your sins that whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life. “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 ESV
In this picture are 2 Big XII Championship watches, a Rose Bowl watch, an Orange Bowl watch, and a National Championship ring. They are really nice watches that I never wear. They don’t work anymore. I wear the ring on special occasions.
When was the last time you looked up at the stars and appreciated what God made. The sky is beautiful tonight, go outside and marvel at what God’s handiwork. “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.”
Psalm 19:1 ESV
I haven’t seen OU football more than 2 quarters this season. They are 1-2 and I am still a fan and will be until I die. Go Sooner! Beat Texas!

From 15 to 25 my life changed dramatically. Parents divorced, college football walk-on, team captain, national champ, college grad, marriage, career choice, and fatherhood. During that time the most influential people on me were...(continued)
If kids today are entitled then it’s all our fault. Don’t be an enabling parent or coach. Be a transformational coach or an intentional parent. If there is a problem then do something about it, don’t complain about it. You’re kids will be what you teach them to be.

Hopefully university’s are teaching their young athletes about taxes. Imagine getting a 1099, no write offs, paid nothing in, spent it all…oops now you owe…
This was taken in Kansas City at the Big 12 Championship game. We won on the way to the national title. Miranda and I were engaged. This summer we will be married 20 years. I am thankful for my wife and proud of who she is and what she stands for.
The longer I am a father the more I realize I need to be loud and holler less at my kids and speak to them more in a teaching voice. It does nothing but scare them or make them shut down.

Masculinity is not toxic: Let me explain. What is masculinity? Masculinity is qualities or attributes regarded as characteristic of men. I don’t believe the qualities of a man to be toxic or negative. I believe the attributes of a man to be good and healthy. 1/
Being called “coach” is a privilege. You are one of the most influential people in kid’s life. You never know how a kind word will impact an athlete. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”
Proverbs 18:21 ESV
A loving mother, great family, and intentional men who cared about a kid who needed guidance and direction. Teachers and coaches matter. They are difference makers.
