Opening Banter & Housekeeping (0:00–5:30)
- Hosts greet regulars (MCM, Rob Bass, Grandmaster H). Extended “word/word up” bit and high-school nostalgia.
- Tech hiccups with Roger learning the stream setup; hosts ask for patience.
- Tease upcoming segments: Who’s spending the most NIL money; which Power Four team that made the playoffs last year are you least confident returns; fourth-and-one Oklahoma RB choice; running backs (Xavier/Troy + new names); Touchdowns & Turnovers; Greatest Sooners by the Numbers 71–85 (special focus on 77).
- Plans for a future call-in show (link shared for listeners to join stage). Targeting after they finish the “by the numbers” series (currently at 85). Possibly in two weeks.
- Membership pitch for Big Guy Posse (’80s rap-style nicknames). Grandmaster H already claimed. Rob shows off a new “Ninja Transfer” logo design he’s proud of (maroon/white/gray options).
Greatest Sooners by the Numbers (71–85) (5:30–23:00)
Hosts and chat pick their top player for each jersey number. Strong consensus on several modern stars and historical standouts.
- 71: Trent Williams (both hosts). Backup option: Jim Weatherall (1949–51).
- 72: Duke Robinson (OG, 2005–08, two-time All-Big 12, SI All-Decade). Chat alternative: John Richard “J.R.” Goodman.
- 73: Hosts lean modern (Davin Joseph mentioned). Pete Carroll era name floated (Tabor).
- 74: Cody Ford (OT for Kyler Murray era, Big 12 standout).
- 75: Terry Crouch or Greg Roberts (1978 Outland Trophy winner).
- 76: Ralph Neely (two-time All-American, College Football Hall of Fame, Super Bowl champion). Chat surprise that Steve “Dr. Death” Williams wasn’t chosen.
- 77 – Special Feature: Bob Kalsu: Deep dive. Del City High product (second Del City guy on the list after David Stone). Recruited by Bud Wilkinson. Played at OU amid coaching turnover. Drafted by Bills; Bills Rookie of the Year. ROTC; called to Vietnam. Killed in action at Firebase Ripcord (1970). Only NFL player between WWII era and Pat Tillman to leave pro football, serve, and die in combat. Del City stadium named for him; statue finally dedicated in 2024 emphasizing toughness and commitment. Bob Stoops started the Bob Kalsu Award (leadership) at Oklahoma. Number 61 retired/ring of fame with Bills. Hosts note the emotional weight and local pride—many didn’t fully know the story despite growing up around the stadium. Strong agreement this was the only choice for 77.
- 78: Orlando Brown (All-American, multi-year starter 2015–17). Consensus.
- 79: Mike Vaughan (All-American on 1975 national title team; big for his era) or Bo Bollinger (All-American guard, part of the 47-game win streak).
- 80: Dan Cody (two-time All-Big 12, All-American; famous for hyping teammates so hard he once passed out on the sideline). Hosts love the energy and name.
- 81: Cons
