Ep. 185 - On the 2021 Schedule, Bookie, and the Future of NCAA Video Games

West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant provides his early thoughts on OU's 2021 schedule. Then Lee joins the fold as the guys briefly talk about how Allen Patrick was super underrated when he played for the Sooners (4:10). The Big 12's schedule release told us that they don't think covid will be much of an impact in 2021, plus what will stadiums look like next year (9:00)? The Sooners play 9 games in a row to start the season and Lee goes back many years to see if this has happened before (19:30). What's OU's toughest game? Also, will Nebraska be any good and is Scott Frost a good coach (25:55)? There looks to be a pretty obvious trap game on the schedule, but Grant thinks there's also another game that is not as obvious (36:50). Bookie is still in the transfer portal. Does this mean he'll be back with OU in 2021 (41:50)? Lee gives us an update on his Bookie rewatch. He's got thoughts on the full 2018 season and 6 games of 2019. The beginning of the 2019 season has been pleasantly surprising, although there's one consistent shortcoming (47:00). For those of you who are interested in football video games and specifically NCAA Football and Madden/NFL2K this is the part of the show for you (1:01:15). We check for comments from social media and also mention that bar fight involving Spencer Jones (1:24:50). Finally we do a little OU basketball talk because Grant reminds us that he predicted in November the Sooners would be pretty good this year. And yes we talked about this before OU lost to K-State Tuesday night (1:28:50). Lee forgot to mention something during the Bookie rewatch talk. We go over some notable PFF grades from the 2018 season (1:34:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
