Baker Mayfield's statue, Brent Venables' Oklahoma football debut and a hope-filled weekend in Norman

NORMAN, Okla. -- Karen Walker, her husband, Josh, and their 7-year-old son, Cannon, arrived at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium ready to celebrate on Saturday. It had been 151 days since Lincoln Riley shocked Oklahoma football fans by announcing he was leaving for USC.

Karen marked the occasion by wearing an "IT AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH" shirt, an homage to new Sooners coach Brent Venables, who returned to the plains after spending 1999 to 2011 as an Oklahoma assistant under Bob Stoops and the past nine seasons as Dabo Swinney's top lieutenant at Clemson.
