Skip Johnson's message to Oklahoma fans ahead of the College World Series Finals: "Have the whole state that are Sooners to come up here." "It's bigger than us. It really is. It's really about our state. It's really about being an OU Sooner. It's about all those details, being thankful, the president was here. We had Barry Switzer here. We had Bob Stoops, Jennie Baranczyk -- Trish, Toby Keith's wife was here. I hadn't seen her in a long time. And it brings tears to my eyes. And Josie and Roger Denny, I mean, John Mateer, our quarterback. I mean that's what's being an OU Sooner is about. It's about being a family. And the more those people can get up here and get it going, the better it is." #Sooners:

Skip Johnson has talked a lot about "the dugout" throughout Oklahoma's run, the other guys who haven't seen the field as much as they did during the regular season still supporting their teammates I asked Skip about that today: "It's uncommon at every level. I mean, from Little League all the way up. When their kid's not playing, all they hear is the negative energy. These guys really have been selfless." "Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing." #Sooners:

Say what you want about Brent Venables, he's nothing if not honest: "I hired the wrong guy. It obviously wasn't the right guy. And it's not centered on Seth (Littrell). I failed. I own that. That's not earth-shattering news. Okay, now what do I got to do to fix it?" #Sooners:

Great stuff from Brent Venables today reflecting on his last 4 years as the head coach at Oklahoma: "What the game of football has meant to me, it saved my life." "I like the good times, but I like to be doubted...I don't hold on to it. I remember, but I don't hold on to it." "I know I've lived a career that I don't deserve. It has represented excellence. Not perfectness. Excellence, for decades."

We ordered everything." "Whatever they put inside of a tortilla, the crunchy stuff, man it's freaking (good)...I have no idea what it was."

Here's five full minutes of Brent Venables today talking about the conversations he has with his coaches and players during games - so much good stuff: "Hey Ben (Arbuckle), they're not going to get another first down in the game. Let's manage it well." "I probably say that eight drives per game. 'This is the most important drive of the game.' And I really feel that in the moment." "Celebrate the things we asked them to do...Go over there and double punch somebody right in the freaking chest because they did what you've been talking about. This is what winning looks like. I don't always want it to be me, the lunatic head coach." "The kids like it when the coach is having fun, too." "(Grayson Miller) had to hear an earful. Next thing you know, he put it inside the 10...Grayson can take a butt-chewing and respond the right way."

Here's Brent Venables today on how he views Missouri in terms of it being a rivalry game: "Well, they're going to be on our schedule every year for the foreseeable future...If everyone wants to make that a rival, fine. If they don't, I'm fine too." #Sooners:

Great stuff from Jim Nagy today on how Oklahoma's success this season has helped combat the negative recruiting OU faced going into the year: "I was so nervous the other night against LSU as the clock was ticking down...It's unbelievable, it's made a huge impact." "Maybe I'm just a believer, but I really felt in my gut this was going to be a good team this year. So, it was hard over the summer, especially in the OV season, when you're seeing guys go other places and you're like 'Man, we're losing them to that program?'" "The 2027 class, we're off to a good start there. There's some guys that haven't announced publicly that we're really excited about that will announce publicly soon which will make the class look even better."
