Brent Venables on #Sooners turnaround this season: “You judge a tree by its fruit, and the fruit in this business is winning. The fruit at this school is being in the conversation and a season that’s worthy to talk about.”

Asked Brent Venables if #Sooners deserved a home playoff game: “I’d just love an invitation, whether it’s on the road (or wherever). I’ve spent no time looking at that. … They’re not listening to me. … Wherever they ask us to play, we’ll show up."

#Sooners coach Brent Venables on his team: "Just a room full of a bunch of misfits and they believe and they’re kind of grimy and they like it."

This photo also makes me think of Damon Fontenot, who captured this moment for me—knowing what it meant to interview Ryne. Damon, like Ryne, was lost way too soon.

A celebrity death has never hit me quite like this one. He was my first sports hero and the reason I became a Cubs fan. He was also incredibly gracious when he came through OKC again as a manager. RIP Ryno.

Jeff Lebby on Zac Selmon as AD: “I think what you see from the top down is connection, you see trust. … There’s great alignment. There’s great connection” #Sooners
