GFA Live #172: WWF Superstars 05-13-1989 (Duggan vs King Haku)

No opening take today as the guys briefly talk about the sad state of affairs we are dealing with now that college football is over. Zac Alley has been officially announced as OU's new co-DC/LB coach (07:00). Trace Ford is coming back in 2024 (12:00). OU picks up TE Jake Roberts from Baylor and North Texas. Lee watched some of his tape and likes what he sees. Plus this could give OU an edge at recruiting Roberts' younger brother. OU's TE room is already much improved from 2023 (15:45). Casey Thompson is going to be OU's backup QB. Lee watched some Michael Hawkins highlights for the first time  (27:00). The offensive line has been a popular topic of late. We go to the WoE Facebook page to read comments about the offensive line. Grant explains what he thinks may be the main gripe from those who are skeptical of OU's offensive line. Lee looks back at all the O-linemen who've been drafted since Bill Bedenbaugh's been at OU. We look ahead to 2024's o-line group (38:00). Will OU have a chance at any of the transfer players from Alabama and Washington? Grant calls Nick Saban's retirement an "earthquake" across college football. The guys agree Kalen DeBoer is an excellent hire for Alabama (1:01:30). Michigan wins the National Championship. Michael Penix did not play well. Grant's kind of jealous of Michigan fans. Why did OU always have to play awesome teams when the Sooners were vying for national titles? Was Washington's running back room somehow worse than OU's group (1:13:15)? Marcus Major is transferring to Minnesota. Will he do anything in the Twin Cities (1:34:25)? Lastly, the basketball team still can't win in Lawrence (1:38:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets

Ep. 305 - The TE Room is Already Better & Offensive Line Questions

Grant is playing injured during this episode as the guys reminisce about the time Hugh Freeze coached a game from a hospital bed. After a brief intro, the guys talk about Jermayne Lole flipping his commitment to OU over to Texas (4:20). Reggie Grimes has found a new team (12:00). We continue our evaluation of the OU roster by putting each player into one of six different categories. We start with the WRs. This part of the show includes some wild Grant conspiracy theories, ripping on Big Ten QBs, Todd Bates catches a stray for some reason and there's other shenanigans (14:00). Over to the TEs as we continue our roster evaluation (49:40). We read a very nice message from the WoE Facebook page reacting to the question Grant asked last week on the show. Plus the guys briefly talk about how the podcast release schedule is going to be different for the next episode and we've received more news about the EA Sports college football game (1:02:15). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets
