WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION…
I AM CASEY MALLON — AND YOU ARE NOW IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND!

Buckle up, fam… because LSU came into Norman and tried to turn Saturday into pure SEC chaos — wind swirling, refs doing SEC-ref things, turnovers flying, momentum swinging like crazy — and yet again, these Sooners refused to break.

In this episode, we dive deep into OU’s gritty, gutsy showdown against LSU:
Peyton Bowen’s massive end-zone INT — Billy Bowman energy.
David Stone barking pre-snap like a field general.
Sategna making RIDICULOUS grabs.
Mateer’s roller-coaster afternoon — the good, the bad, the “WHY GOD,” and the clutch.
OU’s defense keeping the Sooners alive again and again.
And the elite trait the nation still underestimates: this team’s character under pressure.

We break down every possession, every momentum swing, every officiating meltdown (SEC refs… we need a word), and what this game really says about OU heading into the final playoff race.

Plus…
Why Texas fans continue to embarrass themselves
Why OU’s résumé already outshines most of the country
Why being battle-tested actually matters
What the playoff committee can’t afford to ignore
And how the coaching carousel — Golesh, Silverfield, Sumrall, Weis Jr., Golding & Kiffin — ties into postseason chaos

WHAT IS UP SOONER NATION?!
I am Casey Mallon, and YOU are now in a Sooner State of Mind, the place where passion meets playoff dreams and Brent Venables’ defense hits like a midnight flyer rolling straight out of Birmingham.

OU walked into last weekend with two teams between them and the College Football Playoff. After handling business in Norman against Mizzou, that number is down to ONE. The Sooners took punches, dealt plenty back, battled SEC refs straight outta cartoon villain school, and still slammed the door shut with another dominant defensive performance. Now it’s time to look ahead as OU prepares for a season-defining showdown with LSU — and absolutely everything the Sooners want is still right in front of them.

From Mateer’s clutch legs to Sategna’s speed kills moment, from Peyton Bowen’s blocked kick to Big Wein sack celebrations, this episode has the full breakdown of OU vs. Missouri, the latest CFP Top 25 drama, and why LSU might be walking straight into a defensive buzzsaw in Norman.
