Lee and Grant are back to talk about the end of the 2025 college football season. Indiana has won a National Championship in tackle football, Curt Cignetti is the master of the universe, and Lee & Grant want to talk about DeMarco Murray and his failure in the RB room. But first, we put a wrap on OU's portal season and talk in-depth about Owen Heinecke's situation with the NCAA. 226 days until UTEP...

Lee and Grant are back after a CFP-exit hiatus to discuss the goings on in the College Football Transfer Portal. OU has received 11 commits in the portal thus far, and Lee and Grant are going to rank their impact from 1 to 11. They also go over each of the 29 portal defections to tell you whether it's a big deal or not. All that, plus thoughts on new TE coach Jason Witten, the offensive coaching staff as a whole, and they give their pick for the National Championship game. Grant really despises Miami.

Lee and Grant are back to discuss OU's very difficult home loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Come on in and let's all be miserable together. The sun will (hopefully) come out tomorrow.

The Benson Bros are back after the bowl bye to preview Oklahoma's matchup in the first round of the College Football Playoff against the University of Alabama. Lee and Grant spend the first 90 minutes talking all about the Friday night matchup from every angle. Then, they wrap up the longest show in West of Everest history touching on ND's antics following their CFP snub (justice for the Pop Tarts Bowl!), shake their head at Sherrone Moore, and give their picks of the week. We all want to see John Mateer with a rose in his mouth late Friday night. If you're going to be in Norman, show up early, have some beverages, and cause a ruckus.

The Benson Bros were in the stadium to see Oklahoma punch their ticket to the Playoff in a grimy win against stupid LSU. Lee and Grant go over their likes and dislikes from OU's win against the Tigers, have a heated argument over how a defender is supposed to tackle a quarterback, and give a slight lookahead to the College Football Playoff field. LSU is bad and everyone who likes them should feel bad. Peyton Bowen for Heisman.

Here at West of Everest, we're thankful for a win-and-in scenario heading into the season's final week. Lee and Grant are back to preview LSU's first ever trip to Norman. But first, Grant rants about knuckleheads, Brent Venables goes into detail about the running back room, then Lee and Grant talk about what they've been thankful for this football season. It's already Week 14 and time doesn't exist.

Grant and Lee are back following Oklahoma's ugly 17-6 victory over the Missouri Tigers. Brent Venables' defense is absolutely terrific. The offense...not so much. However, Lee and Grant are learning to accept this OU team for what it is as they give their likes and dislikes after OU's 9th win of the season. Plus, your Three Word Reviews. Jacobe Johnson for Heisman.

Lee and Grant Benson are back to preview the Missouri Tigers visiting Norman this weekend. Should OU be on upset alert off the emotional high of beating Alabama? Are there any healthy bodies in the RB room they can turn to? Is John Mateer capable of playing better? But first, we read your Three Word Reviews following last weekend's banger vs The Tide.

Lee and Grant are back the morning after Oklahoma earns their biggest win of the Brent Venables era, beating #4 Alabama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa. The Benson Bros go drive-by-drive, breaking down all of the key plays that led the Sooners to victory. Oklahoma likely controls their destiny to host a College Football Playoff game. Tate Sandell, Kip Lewis, Taylor Wein, and Eli Bowen for Heisman.

We're back off a refreshing bye week to discuss OU's second consecutive CFP elimination game, this time deep in the heart of Dixie: Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Does OU's overmatched defense have any chance of slowing down Alabama's incredibly good—and certainly not fortunate—offense? The Benson Bros have a lively debate. Plus, we read your Three Word Reviews from the Tennessee game, and go over our Picks of the Week.

Lee and Grant have just arrived back from Tennessee after watching OU get a massive 33-27 dub over the Vols at Neyland Stadium. The Benson Bros recap the game, as well as their experience in Knoxville. Tate Sandell for Heisman.

Grant is back with Lee to discuss OU's daunting road trip to Neyland Stadium this weekend vs. Tennessee. Do John Mateer and the Sooners have what it takes to go into incredibly hostile territory and escape with a dub? One host thinks so, and another...not so much. But first, Grant gives his delayed thoughts on the bitterly disappointing loss to Ole Miss. All that, plus Picks of the Week.

Brady Trantham of Through the Keyhole and Sooners on SI joins Lee to recap OU's 34-26 loss to Ole Miss. The Sooners' defense couldn't get off the field in crucial scenarios and allowed the Rebels to possess the ball for way too long. OU's offense hit on a couple of massive touchdowns, but overall struggled to find consistency. The Sooners can still accomplish all of their goals, but this loss stings.

The Benson Bros are back to discuss OU's massive home matchup with Ole Miss. Will Veny be able to get over the proverbial hump as Lane Kiffin brings his squad into Norman for the first time? Is Kiffin playing mind games with Venables bringing up his propensity for stealing offensive signs? That, plus the picks of the week. Lets get a dub this week, eh?

Before he hops on a plan to hobnob with the glitterati in London, Lee joins Grant to discuss Oklahoma's systematic takedown of the overmatched South Carolina Gamecocks. The Benson Bros are both very impressed with the Sooners' defensive effort, but are there cracks being shown that Ole Miss may exploit next week? Also, is John Mateer's thumb injury radically limiting this offense? Luckily, the OU offense may have found something in the run game at the perfect time in the schedule. On to Ole Miss.

Lee is back this week with Grant to talk about Oklahoma's first ever trip to the state of South Carolina to play a tackle football game. Can they continue their impressive knack for winning the week after playing Texas, or will they lose on the road following that game for the first time in 43 years? But first, Lee and Grant re-litigate last weekend's debacle at the Texas State Fair in excruciating detail.

Grant is joined by Brady Trantham to recap OU's dismal performance in the Red River Shootout against Texas. Who's more to blame - John Mateer or the defense? Is there any hope for the rest of season? Grant and Brady try to work through a difficult weekend for OU football fans.

Texas hasn't played poorly in the Red River Shootout in 13 years. Will this finally be the year that the Longhorns live up to their first 5 games and play a stinker? Will John Mateer defy the odds and return early from his broken thumb to etch his legacy in Red River lore? Lee and Grant are back this week to discuss the best, most competitive rivalry in American sports. Let's roll.
