Oklahoma Sooners Postgame

Latest Episodes:

A Bedlam victory and a great defensive effort Nov 20, 2022

Show notes

The Oklahoma Sooners move to 6-5 and make themselves bowl eligible with a win over Oklahoma State Saturday night on Owen Field. It was also senior night and Drake Stoops was one of the brightest offensive stars of the night. But the offensive stars took a backseat the defense which intercepted four passes from Spencer Sanders and kept getting big stop after big stop even when the offense wasn't helping. And the offense wasn't just not helping, they were actually hurting the defense but going three-and-out and not taking enough time off the clock. For all the blame we've lobbed on players for not seeming to care about their performances this season, it was the coaching staff that stood out the most in Bedlam as they failed to control the clock on offense and kept opening the door for Oklahoma State to make a comeback. Carey and Eddie discuss it all in this Bedlam victory edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

WVU loss: What is the give a crap level of OU players? Nov 13, 2022

Show notes

Eddie is headed back to Pittsburgh after another terrible loss by the Oklahoma Sooners. Carey is back at the office ready to tear this program down to the studs. Losing 23-20, the Sooners have us shaking our heads once again and now we're questioning even more. The coaches don't escape the criticism this time around. But Carey and Eddie noticed some things in the post game interviews tonight. Eddie also noticed something in the defeated players coming off the field. We're diving into why this team isn't getting better and what it could be about the makeup of this locker room that could lead to such dismal results on the field after 10 games. This team is 5-5. 5-5!!!!!! How can they sleep at night? The only way that's easy is if you just don't care.

Sooners fall to Baylor and we have strong opinions Nov 06, 2022

Show notes

There were a lot of emotions running throughout the Baylor game. And when it was over, there were lots of emotions about the loss. Here's the thing, Carey, Josh and Eddie got together after to record the Eskridge Lexus Postgame pod. And we had serious thoughts about what the loss should mean for fans. We're no longer talking about conventional changes on the roster or the on the staff. We want OU fans to grab some perspective. The look at the rest of the season a certain way, and judge everything based on that. There is no Big 12 title game, no playoff and not even a bowl game at this point. The Sooners went toe-to-toe with another middling Big 12 team and this time it wasn't a total debacle. But there were still way too many mistakes to stomach. This team doesn't have the right stuff. How Venables and the staff and the players finish out the season will say more about the future of this program than the 9 games we've seen so far.

Sooners handle Iowa State 27-13, defense looks sound again Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

The Sooners traveled to Ames, Iowa, to face an Iowa State team that had lost four straight. But those were all close losses and the Sooners have a recent history of struggles against the Iowa State defense. It was also a case of wondering if the defense was going to show improvements after a bye week and some time to get fresh legs. It all worked out as the Sooners got a win 27-13. Jeff Lebby seemed to have Matt Campbell's offense figured out at times, but dropped passes and untimely penalties derailed some solid early drives. Thanks to kicker Zach Schmit, the Sooners took a 13-0 lead before Dillon Gabriel and the offense added more conventional TDs in the second half. The defense took a noticeable step forward as well although it wasn't perfect. Iowa State ended up throwing the ball 57 times on the day as the Sooners were stout against the run. But with three interceptions and the emergence of DaShaun White as the cheetah position, OU looked dominating at times. Iowa State did squeak back into the game, but Michael Turk finally made his presence known by pinning the Cyclones deep in their own territory late in the game. Overall a solid win and Carey and Eddie broke it down on this week's episode of the Eskridge Lexus postgame podcast.

A much needed win against Kansas Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

The Sooners hit Owen Field Saturday facing a surprisingly strong Kansas team. At times this looked like a blowout. At times it looked like the Oklahoma team that had lost three straight coming into this one. In the end, the Sooners held on to a lead that seemed like it should have been bigger. Dillon Gabriel threw for over 400 yards. No one was thinking about the last two weeks and the backup QB situation. And the defense started strong and finished with a whimper. All in all, the Sooners got a victory. And it's exactly what they needed heading into a bye week. But most importantly we saw some progress. And the goal is to continue seeing more and more as the season progresses. Eddie and Carey hung out in the office and knocked out a Saturday pod for the first time in weeks.

OU-TX beatdown: Something is terribly wrong in Norman Oct 09, 2022

Show notes

We'll just call this two angry guys airing grievance this week after OU gets shut out and embarrassed by Texas in the Red River Rivalry. It was 49-0 . The defense was terrible once again and the offense made us look prophetic when we said OU was screwed if Dillon Gabriel ever got hurt. The offense was radically different. So what does that say about Jeff Lebby? We learned that Davis Beville is definitely not the answer but we weren't given any chances to see if anyone else could do something better. Where is the QB development in Norman? And the defense? Brent Venables seemed shell-shocked and befuddled after the game. He had no real answers after a second straight week of inept play from his defense. It actually might have been better than the TCU game, but it was still horrible. The OU program has fallen so fast in a year. Why is that? Who is to blame? And what can Venables and his staff do to figure out how to play better when Saturday rolls around? And is anyone on the hot seat already? By the end, Carey didn't even want to be here anymore. It was a frustrating weekend and most people just spent Saturday night getting drunk. We dealt with the reality of it on Sunday. And it just made us want to start drinking again. So enjoy!

It's a full staff meeting/meltdown after the embarrassment in Ft. Worth Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

This will not be a podcast for the faint of heart. It's a fully raw episode with no bleeps. So you might have to headphones the kids if you are driving. Carey, Josh, Eddie and Bob are all here for this one as we break down the OU football team in its current state and search for answers of our own. Who on this team wants to play football? Understands what playing football is? Who should not be playing? Who should be playing? Whose fault is it that the team is playing this way? Can it be fixed. And holy crap, Texas is next. OU heads to the Red River Rivalry with their underwear showing. Will Dillon Gabriel even be cleared to play? And who thought OU had a backup quarterback? And my goodness! The injuries are all over the place. Hopefully this pod serves as some therapy. And we also understand if you just don't want to listen this week. But we carry on regardless.

Another K-State dud on Owen Field Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

It's another baffling outcome as Oklahoma loses to Kansas State 41-34 in a game where OU couldn't get out of its own way to even seriously threaten the Wildcats on Owen Field. Carey and Eddie are tired, cranky and at a loss for how to keep doing podcasts when unthinkable losses like these happen. Thankfully we have an office on Campus Corner and Mike Hosty was playing next door at The Deli. Because Fox Sports/Bally Sports videographer Christopher Fitzpatrick stopped by to wallow in misery with us. He probably was the only one who had a realistic take on where the Sooners go from here. It was tough to watch Brent Venables and Dillon Gabriel in the postgame press conference. It was certainly the lowest moment for everyone since the Venables' era began. So come on in as we break it all down and try and make sense out of the nonsense we saw Saturday evening.

Nebraska beatdown shows things are changing in Norman Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

Oklahoma went to Lincoln, Nebraska, and took care of the Cornhuskers 49-14. As Eddie heads back from Lincoln, he and Carey breakdown what they saw today. The atmosphere led to a fast start for the Huskers, but Dillon Gabriel and the OU defense were up to the challenge as they quickly struck back and kept piling on the touchdowns. What we learned was that things are really changing in Norman around this football team. Not only are they playing defense, but Venables is changing the mindset. We break it all down in this episode and even bow down to Eric Gray. I mean, what is there really to gripe about after this one? It was a convincing win on the road over a historic rival and the Sooners were down for a beating. As Eddie was on the road there will be some slight audio issues in the beginning but those ironed out as the podcast went on.

POSTGAME: OU is up and down in 33-3 win over Kent State, Nebraska awaits Sep 11, 2022

Show notes

Carey and Eddie breakdown Saturday's college football action and specifically what we saw in Norman Saturday night between OU and Kent State. The defense should not be overlooked, but as we're always in search of perfection from OU football, we breakdown what went wrong on the offensive side of the ball. We also continue falling deeper in love with Danny Stutsman and look at some of the standouts on both sides of the ball. We also look ahead to Nebraska and survey the landscape that was a pretty crazy Saturday of football in the Big 12 and nationally. Alabama/Texas... Wow.
