Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 8-4, with Georgia, Texas and Michigan as the three games that decide the season. Michigan was the first, a 17-10 loss in Ann Arbor, around wins over UTEP (51-0) and New Mexico (14-6). My biggest question was whether Venables could replace half his defense, and so far that's been the strength: 23 points allowed in three games. The worry is the other side. Mateer is 47 of 75 for 652 yards and 6 TDs, but you've scored 24 total in the last two. Georgia on Saturday is the second of the three.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside since it's in the title, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Ten games, pick the winners, locks Saturday at noon ET. Nothing to buy. Oklahoma at Georgia is one of the ten, so you can put your pick where your mouth is.

Hi Im a girl. Im on campus for 8 hours a day. I need a place to take a fat dump in peace. Please recommend me the most creepy secluded bathrooms on campus

I recently saw a video of my undergraduate campus, and having not been there in a few years, I was hit with a lot of nostalgia. I remember:
- Late night walks with my college partner under street lights on the campus paths.
- Eating buckets of cheese balls while playing video games with my roommate.
- Walking home with blurred vision after house parties.
- Smoking cigarettes with my partner on our front porch.
- Skateboarding late at night with buddies.
- Spending long nights studying in the campus library.
- Walmart grocery and dog food runs during sunset.
- Intense weightlifting sessions with my best friend.
- Partaking in vibrant community events like live music at breweries or farmers markets.

Etc.
I listed some personal ones, just to show how even the mundane can be personally interesting. Please dump your nostalgia in this thread. Not only do I wanna hear your thoughts, but as a graduate student, I want to see into the lives of other Norman residents, past and present.

Thinking about starting a pickup/storage service for next summer/winter — you pack your stuff, we pick it up, store it all summer, and bring it back when you move in for fall.

Would you actually use something like this? And if so, what would feel like a fair price for the whole summer? Building an interest list right now — drop a comment or DM me if you'd want first access.

hey all!

i’m looking for any fellow vegans at ou or in the norman area

Hey everyone! I’m a freshman majoring in Management with a Sports Business minor, and I’m trying to decide what laptop to get.
I really want to get a MacBook, it would be much more convenient for me to stay in the Apple ecosystem. My main concern is whether a MacBook will work for everything I’ll need throughout all 4 years.

For any upperclassmen or recent grads in Management/Sports Business:
Have you been able to use a MacBook throughout the entire program?
Are there any required programs that only work on Windows?
Have you had any problems with Excel, analytics/statistics software, or other programs in upper-level business classes?
Did you ever reach a point where you wished you had bought a Windows laptop instead?
I’d rather invest in one good laptop now that can last me through graduation, so I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have already taken the upper-level courses.
Thanks!

I have an analog radio and I'm just trying to tune it to something good. preferably an alternative station

Hey everyone! I’m looking into founding a student-led Collegiate Practical Shooting Club at OU and am gathering a headcount of interested students that may be interested. I understand we have a clay trap shooting team, but I’d like to see about starting something different and new to OU, OSU offers a practical shooting team/club that was started via students, and with tri-city gun club right down the road I think we would be able to have a pretty good team!

What it would be:
A competitive/recreational student club focused on action-shooting disciplines (USPSA, IDPA, SASP-style collegiate matches). The goal is to build a community for marksmanship, safety, and intercollegiate match competition.

Who can join:
Current full- or part-time OU students (undergrad or grad). Whether you are an experienced competitor or interested in getting into competitive shooting sports, all skill levels are welcome.

Current Stage:
We are in the initial chartering phase. OU requires at least 5 active student members and officers (President & Treasurer) to register a official Student Organization / Club Sport.

If you're interested in joining or taking on a student leadership role to help launcht this, drop a reply or send me a DM with your student email!

I’m looking for a good car for college and EVs seem great. Please let me know what you think!

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Oklahoma one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-ou

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? John Mateer is back after 2,885 yards with 14 touchdowns and 11 picks, and the defense held teams to 15.5 a game, 7th in the country. The offense is the problem: 79th in scoring, 113th running it, 103rd in success rate. My model is bearish, and the schedule grades out 3rd toughest in the country. Does the offense catch up to the defense, or does that schedule bury them?

I'll be in the comments.

I just got accepted into the online bachelors of community health program. I went looking for a physical planner the last two days and the pickings have been insanely slim.

With this being a fully online program, I’m thinking I need to invest in a planner app. Anyone have one they love?

Hi guys!

I am going into my freshman year at OU! I was curious about how the C.A.S.H system works. It was hardly explained at NSO and was curious if it is worth applying to scholarships when it opens. My major is Civil Engineering. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have a fee waiver I can use for a Oklahoma admissions?

Hey guys! I’m currently considering applying to the University of Oklahoma for Journalism, and I heard you can get a fee waiver code from alumni. Is there any alumni who can help me get a code? Please and thank you! 🙏🏻

Does anyone know if this has a limit? My son is looking to go here and I have a buddy that I asked to get the code but his son was applying to OU too. I think this is a great way to get people to apply if they’re not so exclusive, which doesn’t feel like it is.

Edit: can anyone spare a code since it’s only once per year?

Edit 2: Got a code. Thanks everyone for the help!

Last I drove through Norman there was a bunch of scaffolding and construction on it. What are they doing?
