Oklahoma Under Fire For Unforgivable Mistake

After enduring a week of disrespect from Oklahoma, the Kentucky Wildcats delivered a memorable upset, earning bowl eligibility and sending a message to the SEC.

Kentucky left Norman with more than a 21-13 upset win and bowl eligibility. The Wildcats also walked out with a response to what they say Oklahoma did all week.

According to the source of the bulletin board fuel, the Sooners put pictures of Kentucky players in their urinals and peed on them in the days leading into the matchup at the Palace on the Prairie. That detail surfaced as Kentucky celebrated after the win, and the postgame scenes made it clear the Wildcats had not forgotten.

Mikkel Skinner posted a TikTok from the locker room celebration, and it showed Kentucky taking a belt to OU’s mascot. In the video, linebacker Quintavion Norman held up a printed screenshot of a Snapchat from a restroom that had been shared by a Sooner and showed several Wildcats in the line of fire.

The caption on that screenshot read, “This (is) what we do on (people) throughout the year,” followed by a laughing emoji.

The celebration came in the middle of a broader run of SEC trash talk and payback. The source also pointed to LSU posting fake Kentucky quotes in the locker room, and noted that Will Stein’s team is now 6-1 and projected to make the College Football Playoff.

Kentucky’s players kept celebrating after the final whistle, belt in hand, and some of those postgame dances and exchanges with Oklahoma fans were shared as well.

The only question left from the source’s angle: what comes next for Vanderbilt? The warning was simple enough - hopefully it doesn’t involve bodily fluids.

Alabama Suddenly Faces Real Pressure After College Footballs Wildest Shakeup

College football spent one wild October Saturday blowing up its own hierarchy, and Texas was right in the middle of it. Five of the AP Top 25s top seven teams went down in Week 7, an almost unthinkable turn in a regular season, with No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 5 Indiana, No. 6 Alabama and No. 7 Texas all taking losses on the same day.

The result is a rankings shakeup that could leave Miami atop the poll for the first time since 2002 after its double-overtime win over Florida State. For Texas, the sting is obvious, but so is the broader reality: when the sports upper crust gets rattled this badly, one bad Saturday can reshape the playoff chase in a hurry. [Read more 🡒]

Arch Manning Suddenly Faces A Texas Question Fans Never Wanted

Two straight losses have turned Arch Mannings start into the kind of conversation Texas hoped it would not have to have this early. The Longhorns came into the stretch expecting steadier play from the quarterback spot, but the recent skid has put the offense under a brighter spotlight and forced the staff to look hard at what is and is not working.

Steve Sarkisian said the offense needs a full evaluation, and that includes the quarterback position. With KJ Lacey, Dia Bell and MJ Morris among the names being discussed as possible alternatives, the question around Manning is no longer just about development or patience. It has become part of a broader search for answers as Texas tries to stop the slide. [Read more 🡒]

Texas Fans Still Waiting On Colin Simmons After Brutal Injury Scare

Colin Simmons gave Texas a real scare when the edge rusher went down with a lower-leg injury and had to be carted off for evaluation. The early word is that he suffered a sprained ankle, but the Longhorns are still waiting on a clearer picture as they turn their attention to Ole Miss.

Steve Sarkisian said the staff will keep evaluating Simmons, and the next official checkpoint should come with the SEC availability report later in the week.
