ARLINGTON, Texas — The good news for Brent Venables is that if his first head coaching gig doesn’t work out, he can always find work as a tour guide or the next Billy Mays. The man can talk. Berry Tramel, the estimable Oklahoma sportswriter, timed the preamble of Venables’ introductory press conference at Oklahoma and determined it ran eight minutes longer than the Sermon on the Mount.
Venables went on so long Thursday at Big 12 Media Days, he got to just three questions in his allotted 20 minutes.
Probably just as well, because he couldn’t answer the question everyone wanted to ask anyway, namely, when will Texas and OU hightail it for the SEC?
