Brent Venables reveals why more players were involved against Florida

The Oklahoma Sooners looked more efficient on offense last weekend against the Florida Gators than they had all season long. The Sooners beat the Gators on the road, 23-7, and gained over 350 yards of offense. Tight ends coach Jason Witten called the game after being promoted to interim offensive coordinator following Ben Arbuckle's firing . He emphasized getting more players involved. Against Florida, eight players caught at least one pass, with five catching at least three. Two of those were Jacob Jordan and Parker Livingstone, who had played sparingly this season. Jordan especially shined, catching four passes for 36 yards. All four passes were on third down and went for first downs. Head coach Brent Venables said the increased involvement for players like Jordan and Livingstone was intentional. "I think they've been good practice players," Venables said. "I think they've shown a body of work over the last several months that Coach Witten recognized and made it a point to make sure that you get players involved. I think the earlier that you can do that, it just creates more synergy, more emotion, more stick-to-itiveness, more belief, more strain, more finish. The more guys that feel like they're involved."

Harold Hamm, Continental Resources settle shareholder suit for $60M

An Oklahoma County district judge has approved a $60 million settlement resolving a four-year class action shareholder litigation over Continental Resources founder Harold Hamm’s 2022 transaction that took the company private. The order on Tuesday, Nov. 10, concludes a major legal dispute surrounding the downtown Oklahoma City-headquartered energy giant. The lawsuit began when Continental shareholder Walter T. Doggett filed a challenge to Hamm’s takeover proposal. Continental had been publicly traded since 2007, with Hamm and his family holding an approximately 83% controlling stake. In June 2022, Hamm submitted an initial, nonbinding proposal to acquire Continental’s remaining public shares for $70 each. The buyout was formally announced on Oct. 17, 2022, and closed on Nov. 22 of that same year, after the purchase price was raised to $74.28 per share. More: Continental Resources signs deal to develop Venezuela's Orinoco Belt Hamm’s attorney Mike Burrage said the lawsuit was premature when it was filed. He said Hamm’s initial offer was nonbinding and subject to review by a special committee of the board of directors. He called it “speculation” at the time. As the litigation evolved into a class action lawsuit, plaintiffs challenged the process and the final price of the take-private transaction,

Del City leader: Sell Oklahoma County jail land, renovate old facility

With the proposed jail sales tax defeated , Oklahoma County should scrap its plans and sell the land and nearly complete Behavioral Care Center at 1901 E. Grand Blvd., Del City Council member Scott Tatom said. The proceeds could be used with other funds − but not a hike in property taxes − to renovate the old jail downtown, Tatom told the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting on Nov. 10. It was the board's first session since the Nov. 3 election led to a pending paradigm shift in county criminal justice reform efforts. By most accounts, voter opposition to the sales tax proposal led to the change, not just the "blue wave" of Democrats coming into office nationally. The tax went down with 63.3% opposed. More: Oklahoma County voters soundly defeat jail sales tax Activist Chris Johnston again on Nov. 10 called for dissolution of the Criminal Justice Authority, the public trust that governs operation of the old jail at 201 N. Shartel Ave., and turning the jail over to the Sheriff's Office. "We don't just hand the sheriff the keys. We create a realistic hand-over process," he said, and build back community trust.
