🏈 Sooner State of Mind – 17 Days ‘Til Kickoff & the John Mateer Story

What’s up, Sooner Nation?! Casey here, and you are now IN A SOONER STATE OF MIND! We’re just 17 days—that’s 17 Marvin Mims Jrs.—away from the 2025 Oklahoma Sooners storming into Memorial Stadium to curb stomp the Illinois State Redbirds, and the stoke level is officially off the charts.

This episode, we’re talking:

• 
  

  The John Mateer Venmo rumors – the late-night screenshots, Pete Thamel’s report, Mateer’s official statement, and where things stand with OU and the NCAA.

  
  


• 
  

  Brent Venables’ young defensive playmakers – Kendal Daniels, Reggie Powers III, Robert Spears-Jennings, Jaydon Jackson, David Stone, Damonic Williams, Gracen Halton – and why BB says they just need to “be consistent” before locking down starting spots.

  
  


• 
  

  Why this offseason has felt non-stop, even in the so-called “dead period,” and how we’re about to hit the greatest stretch of the year: college football every day from August 28 through Labor Day Monday.

  
  

Plus, I’ll give you my “get stoked” philosophy, why this Saturday is the perfect day to knock out those last pre-season to-dos, and how to catch all our content on Bleav.com and The Football Dudes YouTube channel.

It’s almost time, folks. Wave that flag. Stay stoked. And get ready—Sooner football is here.
