From a Texas fan who appreciates y’alls football content, some things are just bigger than football. Let me extend my condolences from the Longhorn family.
Same thing. Gabe, pray the peace of God for you and your family. Greater purpose.. agree and not sure what. I do know that you will have a unique insight into comforting and supporting others who experience the same in the future. I do know that you will have a greater sense of compassion for your boys, and be able to model how a man loves his wife through heartache and pain. Stay faithful and strong, day by day. I am so sorry for your loss.
Hookem Horns ! Im a huge Texas fan here, but I will shove sports aside .. May God bless you and your family .. I can feel your loss.. I lost a twin that my son should have beeen born with.. he just stopped growing so I know the pain . I cried watching you cry ..LIFE is precious .... cry all you want , it is human .. I will pray for your unborn daughter. I understand the guilt but there is nothing for you to feel guilty about, it was out out of your hands .. God Bless . God speed and grieve , and do right by your living family Be strong Brother
Gabe! My heart breaks for you. You don’t know me, but being a member of this podcast community makes me feel like I know you, and I cry real tears with you brother. Thank you for sharing yourself with us every episode.
As a husband and father to two girls I just sat here and cried with you... My brother and his wife went thru this ordeal many years ago when they lost little Bella at 8 months. It was devastating. But now they have two beautiful daughters that have filled their lives with joy. Praying for you and yours. "Weeping may endure the night, but joy cometh in the morning."
We lost our baby girl at 26 weeks last year. We had to leave our home state for the surgery. There are people here that understand the pain and sending you all the love. You are an amazing husband and father.
Grew up in Tulsa and watched ou football on my dad's lap when I was a baby. I'm 45 now and live in Alaska, never miss a game. The games are a chance for all us Okies to get together, put our differences aside and channel all of what we got into something. It really is a beautiful thing! It's our church, and I'll never give up on that. Every week no matter how good or bad we're doing I watch with the national broadcast muted and out guys up full blast. It a spiritual experience for me and you guys are part of that. I miss Bob Barry but Toby, Ted, and Gabe are definitely gettin it done! Love and prayers from cold snowy Alaska Gabe, y'all are gonna be alright. Proud to be Oklahoman and damn sure glad we got you guys on our side.
I've never told anyone this, and I don't know if it will help, but you and Ted without even knowing it, saved my life. I'm in the area and would love to meet you one day. You're in my prayers. You deserve the best. Been a fan since episode 1. As much as I can, I will always have your back. Thank you both for everything y'all do. I'm here for you if you need anything at all, anytime. -Your biggest fan.
Gabe, if you read this. You may not have been there physically but you were there emotionally. She knows and from her reply was mentally stronger because of that. Condolences on the loss! Just remember, you did the best that you could do in that current situation. Don’t play the would have, could have, should have. It’s not fair to you and her. Good on her for making you do this. Continue to lean on each other for support and healing. You will both grow and learn to love better from this.
Listening to Gabe and Teddy are a part of my family’s weekly routine. You both are more than an entertainment you are ambassadors for the type of people that OU and the state of Oklahoma can develop. I had to fight back the tears after hearing that story. It made me want to appreciate the family I have more than anything. Hopefully that is one of the good effects to come out of that sad event. We’re praying for you and your family.
Just wanted to say God bless you Gabe and your family. I’m a Longhorn fan but in times like this we set aside rivalries and football to love one another and have compassion. Sending my prayers. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Sooner Nation loves you Gabe! My wife and I have an acronym for when we are struggling with keeping our cool when dealing with our crazy kids or life, PLUG, patience loving understanding and grace. We are often reminding each other to show that to our kids but remember to show yourself that too. You deserve patience, loving, understanding, and grace from yourself too.
This podcast is why I listen to every time. It’s life and sports. You guys are the best hands down. Nothing is harder for me as a father to deal with. I’m truly sorry for you and your family. You’re a damn good man and father. The fact that this hurts you the way it does only shows how much you care about your family. From a fellow Oklahoman to another. Keep your head up and I love this show. Prayers be with yall and know we care. You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gabe Ikard family, many blessings to you. Our family loves y’all and watching the Oklahoma Breakdown. That took guts and is brave dude!! God bless you sir!!
I still vividly remember watching Bama come out of the tunnel at the Orange Bowl and thinking how huge they were. Tua at 6’ 215 seemed like comfortably the smallest guy out there. Was crazy
Gabe I'm about the same age as you, I've been a lifelong sooner fan I went through my formative years watching you play ball. I've been a day one subscriber to your podcast and have always appreciated the talk outside of football on the pod. Life is so much bigger than ball and my heart breaks for you brother, sending much love and positive vibes to you, your wife and family!
Aww Gabe I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 Your wife is an amazing woman! And you're an amazing husband! Y'all really are an important part of my week! Thank you for showing up but please know that the entire SOONER NATION will always understand your family comes first!! ❤
Love you Gabe ! Hang tough brother. Couldn't imagine the pain your going through. 💔. You'll prolly never read this but I'm a big fan of yours man. Really always loved your take on things your a smart dude with good heart. Hang tough man. God has plan for everything just gotta find belief and keep faith. Boomer sooner
Gabe, I know you are struggling as to if you could or should have done things differently. But I’m sending this video to my grown sons to watch so they know what a great Husband and Father looks like. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Gabe - I’m so sorry. My wife and I went through the same situation last year. The pain won’t ever fully go away but it does hurt less as time goes on. I’m praying for you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us.
My heart truly breaks for you. My parents lost my little brother his senior year in high school. I wish I could do something to make your pain go away. What I do know is that this is going to take time. The pain is always gonna be there but eventually you will learn to live with it. I truly believe the pain stays in our hearts to remind d us that we are human. If it wasn't there then that's when you should worry. You did the right thing by talking about it and don't stop talking about it with whoever you need to. The absolute worse thing you can do is hold that stuff inside. Anyway God bless and prayers for you amd your family. Keep your head up so that little girl can look down amd smile down on her daddy's face.
Gabe- you telling your story helps in more ways than you can know. My first child is 2 months battling health issues. And I have had the same struggle trying to understand gods plan. But after hearing you be so brave to talk about this it really reiterates to appreciate what you have and every little thing that happens. I am truly sorry for your loss, but I know your little girl and all those like her are watching over kids like mine being their guardian angels through these tough times. And for that I appreciate you and your wife. You may of lost your daughter but she has become so many kids who need her’s guardian angel. You contributed something great to the world even if it’s hard to see right now. Much love from Moore OK, and from the Ou brotherhood.
Gabe, I am praying for not only you and your wife and your family to find peace in these times. But I’ll be praying for you to forgive yourself. We are all with you. Thank you for these podcasts.
Gabe, my condolences as it is not easy losing a child. We lost twins almost 10 years ago. It is hard and it never leaves you. As, some time passes you will understand gods plan. We had 2 more boys with a total of 9 boys 3 lost. We love you and so does your beautiful family. God Bless
So sorry for your loss, ya'll aren't alone, my wife and I. Life time of what if, we always put up a stocking at Christmas. Make sure ya'll give her a name, so in heaven. We will see them again. Hearts and prayers to ya'll.
Me and my wife have experienced 2 miscarriages…so I really really relate and feel for you Gabe. I, too, was critical of myself and tried to take blame because in my head it would make everything okay. But you’ll come to realize that it’s not anyone’s fault…it hurts. My prayers are with you and your family. I strongly encourage you to not allow yourself to isolate from others…it’s easy to do, but it’s not the best way to deal with this situation. Praying for you brother. ❤
It is healthy Gabe, we're all praying for your family and you as well. You're podcasts brings alot of us distractions each week, so thanks for allowing us to be a distraction to you in your time of grief. 🙏🏾 Lord bless the medical field and all of those who care for our health. Your wife sounds like such a strong woman, probably why you've been so successful and in tune to what its all about, the big picture! God Bless you man 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thanks Teddy for being there with him while he poured it all out!!!!!
I love football and I love all things Sooners. If OU was competing in underwater coin stacking I would paint my face and yell for the Crimson and Cream. But at the end of the day, none of that matters. I love listening to you guys twice a week, but if Gabe needs to talk about it, then talk about it. No need to apologize for moving away from sports for a little while. One of the things that makes Sooner fans the best is that we root as hard for you off the field as on it. Between podcasts and broadcasts, you're in my home enough to feel like family. My little corner of SoonerNation is praying for you and your family.
Gabe, sorry for your loss. It is hard to loose a kid not even born. Praying for you and your wife! Thanks for doing this podcast. It helps me get through the rough season! You guys are the best Oklahoma football podcast out there home is better!! And you know your stuff because of being former players! ❤❤❤
Gabe, you have a guardian angel looking over you, Caroline, and your two boys, and she will be present throughout time. I had a case of waterworks watching your video, thanks for sharing. All the best to you and yours.
If doing this podcast is therapeutic for you @Gabe, I'm here for ya bud. We're all behind you and praying for you and your family. One of the worse pains anyone can feel... Thank you for sharing your experience. You can't blame yourself. Your responsibility was to your family and you did the right thing.
Love you Gabe. I watch all these and it feels like I know you. Took a picture with me and my buddy right before the Iowa state game back in 2021 and you were so dang friendly. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your wife and I wish you the absolute BEST. God bless you sir. Sooner nation loves you!!!
As a Texas fan who has been watching you guys for a long time I’d like to say I am so sorry. I worry about my son everyday and I can’t imagine how this must feel. I’m sorry Gabe. It sounds like you have an amazing family and it will continue to grow and be strong. I’m glad you decided to share this. I don’t think I could have done it. I pray for you and BV’s family. There will be better days.
Gabe, praying for your family. Thank you for sharing your story and journal. Many will be blessed! We need more men with your character. Hang tight God is with you.
I'm sorry for your loss, Gabe. As a Texas alum, I have a strong dislike for OU, but you’re changing my perspective and making me root for an OU grad. I believe that God will do great things through your family, brother!
Gabe, Thank for your openess - you never know that it might help someone. We forget sometimes, that there are things more imortant that football. I hope that God will give you peace.
I didn't think I'd have tears along with you Gabe but here we are. The very first thing I thought of when you mentioned you had to stay home with the boys, is her going alone like you did. That shows the quality of husband you are to Caroline (I think that's her name?) and how much she means to you. There's no way you could have gone with her and left your boys at home by themselves in the middle of the night. It means nothing coming from me, but you should feel ZERO guilt about it. You had no choice. May God bless you and your family Gabe, He's in control and has a purpose for all of us.
Hang in there Gabe. My two kids were born almost a year apart during the covid restrictions and I had to miss so many scary appointments for my daughter since my son wasn’t allowed to come. My lady was understanding but I felt super guilty as well. Not sure how to console you but just know that I am praying for you my friend. GOD has your little girl and she will always be looking down on you.
Praying for you and your family Mr. Ikard. Can’t imagine how you and the wife must be feeling. The Lord is with you, even if you can’t see it in this time. Sooner nation loves you!
As a father of two girls my heart breaks for you and I broke down and cried right along with you. I can’t pretend to know what you’re going through. Prayers to the family. 😓
So sorry for your loss brother. Sending prayers for strength and comfort. May God give you the peace to surpass all understanding. You are a great father and wishing you many blessings to you and your family. Hate to see you go thru this. Keep doing what you do!
Gabe, thank you for sharing such a difficult experience. I met my wife later in life and we lost our only shot at a child 21 years ago. Your willingness to share your pain has helped me finally be able to deal with mine. You are an inspiration, thank you.
Man, it breaks my heart to hear that I praise the Lord’s blessings upon you and your family. Everything happens for a reason. wish I could explain it my daughter had one too, broke my heart for my little girl as I said God bless you and your fam you’ll be in our prayers Time helps you all wounds this is why I watch you and Teddy. You guys feel like family Oklahoma family.
Very sorry to hear of the loss. Glad your wife is ok. May god be with you both. You did what you had to do Gabe. You’re a great man so I hope you don’t carry that guilt. Take care of yourself and your family. Your pride and love of your family is obvious through your pod cast.
Sorry for yalls loss Gabe! Me and my wife are 3 months pregnant as well and its her greatest fear! As a God fearing man it is HIS will! hE chose to bring that little angel to him faster than expected, but she lives eternal with HIM! It will make for a joyous occasion when yall meet in the end! God bless and prayers for your family brother! Bommer🔴⚪️
Sorry to hear this Gabe! I am Sooner born and Sooner bred and never miss this show or podcast. I have two daughters and feel your pain. Sending lots of prayers for your family.
Thank you for sharing you and your wife’s story of your baby. I am praying you receive love and comfort during this difficult time. Very inspired by you and your wife’s strength, vulnerability, and maturity.
Sorry for your loss. I watch you both religiously as a lone OU fan/Oklahoma native living in the northeast of England (Durham). I don't even pay attention to other sports shows really, but you guys remind me of home. I'm really sorry to hear this. We don't know each other, but you should not feel guilty. We can all tell you are a great dad.
Gabe, my cousin lost a child much in the same way. It's a hellish time to see someone you love go through it. Stay strong. Our family has the same hope of seeing Josh as you do your little girl. Hold on to that hope, brother.
I've been down that road myself Gabe. It is a feeling I still can't let go since 2014. I feel the same way what could I have done different, for my Lil girl unfortunately as you said God had other plans for you myself and others who go through this tragedy. We love you Gabe we all have your back
So very sorry. The time will come when you'll meet that baby girl and she will know how much you love her and you will know how very happy she has been waiting to be reunited.🙏
Gabe praying peace and comfort for you and your wife. May God wrap you both up in his arms and ease your grief each and every day. May you feel the joy from your boys multiply until it blocks out everything else. Sooner Nation has your back! ❤
Gabe, I cried with you here. I do not know what you are going through, but as a father I understand that you have a sense loss and I am praying for you and your family. I have hope that you will get your daughter and that it will be an amazing experience for you but you need to take time to mourn and deal with it however you need to. And other than the fact that my dog is black she sounds exactly like mine.
Gabe, this hits close to home. The same thing happened to my wife and I 6 months into our pregnancy with my first daughter. We lost her in a stillbirth and thankfully we were able to hold her before we said our goodbyes. Keep your hope and know that God will make all things work together for your good. A year and a day later we had another healthy baby girl. You’ll never be the same and your life will be lived in her honor for the rest of your days.
Let me also say that I experienced the same guilt. Looked at everything I did wrong in life. Went to every doctor to ask them what was wrong with me. God will speak to you eventually and give you peace. Please do not blame yourself.
There is no way to console a parent you must a child at any age but, you now have the understanding to help someone else that will have to go through this. Some parents handle this better then others. If yall aren't doing well reach out to other parents who have been through this. Prayers for your family in this time.
From a Texas fan who appreciates y’alls football content, some things are just bigger than football. Let me extend my condolences from the Longhorn family.
Same thing. Gabe, pray the peace of God for you and your family. Greater purpose.. agree and not sure what. I do know that you will have a unique insight into comforting and supporting others who experience the same in the future. I do know that you will have a greater sense of compassion for your boys, and be able to model how a man loves his wife through heartache and pain. Stay faithful and strong, day by day. I am so sorry for your loss.
Same here. Bless you and your family Gabe.

The words of wisdom your loved ones are sharing with you are correct. So are the feelings you are feeling. Prayers for peace for your family.
I'm sorry for your loss, Gabe. As a Texas alum, I have a strong dislike for OU, but you’re changing my perspective and making me root for an OU grad. I believe that God will do great things through your family, brother!
Gabe, Thank for your openess - you never know that it might help someone. We forget sometimes, that there are things more imortant that football. I hope that God will give you peace.
I've been watching all the games on weird days lol! I'll get y'all my list next week! 😉
Love you Gabe ❤ thinking of you. Thank you for all that the both of you do for Sooner Nation
I didn't think I'd have tears along with you Gabe but here we are. The very first thing I thought of when you mentioned you had to stay home with the boys, is her going alone like you did. That shows the quality of husband you are to Caroline (I think that's her name?) and how much she means to you. There's no way you could have gone with her and left your boys at home by themselves in the middle of the night. It means nothing coming from me, but you should feel ZERO guilt about it. You had no choice. May God bless you and your family Gabe, He's in control and has a purpose for all of us.
All the love to your family Gabe! Nobody should have to go through that, but all the love to y’all getting through this tough time.
Gabe I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Thank you for allowing me to hear your words, you are a great man and God loves you.
Hang in there Gabe. My two kids were born almost a year apart during the covid restrictions and I had to miss so many scary appointments for my daughter since my son wasn’t allowed to come. My lady was understanding but I felt super guilty as well. Not sure how to console you but just know that I am praying for you my friend. GOD has your little girl and she will always be looking down on you.
Prayers you and your family Gabe for real! 🙏🏾. All of OUr arms are around you brother!
Sending prayers for your family and you, Gabe. Dont beat yourself up. You did what you thought was best with the situation, man.
We love you Gabe. Sooner Nation has the ikard family’s back. 🙏

Love you Gabe! My heart goes out to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss. I watch you both religiously as a lone OU fan/Oklahoma native living in the northeast of England (Durham). I don't even pay attention to other sports shows really, but you guys remind me of home. I'm really sorry to hear this. We don't know each other, but you should not feel guilty. We can all tell you are a great dad.
Gabe, my cousin lost a child much in the same way. It's a hellish time to see someone you love go through it. Stay strong. Our family has the same hope of seeing Josh as you do your little girl. Hold on to that hope, brother.
Prayers Gabe for you and your family. A Champ forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Gabe.
I've been down that road myself Gabe. It is a feeling I still can't let go since 2014. I feel the same way what could I have done different, for my Lil girl unfortunately as you said God had other plans for you myself and others who go through this tragedy. We love you Gabe we all have your back
So sorry for your family. Puts things in perspective.
Thoughts and prayers, Mr. And Mrs. Ikard. You’ll be with her again someday.
Feel for you, Gabe. Keep up the good fight
So very sorry. The time will come when you'll meet that baby girl and she will know how much you love her and you will know how very happy she has been waiting to be reunited.🙏
Gabe praying peace and comfort for you and your wife. May God wrap you both up in his arms and ease your grief each and every day. May you feel the joy from your boys multiply until it blocks out everything else. Sooner Nation has your back! ❤
I pray for your healing. You don't have to apologize for nothing. Love and appreciate ya buddy
Love ya guys! Prayers 🙏🙏 my friend
Love ya Gabe. God is still on His throne. Praying the best for ya'll.
Gabe, I cried with you here. I do not know what you are going through, but as a father I understand that you have a sense loss and I am praying for you and your family. I have hope that you will get your daughter and that it will be an amazing experience for you but you need to take time to mourn and deal with it however you need to. And other than the fact that my dog is black she sounds exactly like mine.
So sorry for your loss Gabe! Prayers for you and your family!
Prayers for you and your family Gabe. 🙏🏾
My wife and I lost our 2nd child of three to a miscarriage the pain is very real and I still think of her to this day. We love you Gabe
Gabe, this hits close to home. The same thing happened to my wife and I 6 months into our pregnancy with my first daughter. We lost her in a stillbirth and thankfully we were able to hold her before we said our goodbyes. Keep your hope and know that God will make all things work together for your good. A year and a day later we had another healthy baby girl. You’ll never be the same and your life will be lived in her honor for the rest of your days.
Let me also say that I experienced the same guilt. Looked at everything I did wrong in life. Went to every doctor to ask them what was wrong with me. God will speak to you eventually and give you peace. Please do not blame yourself.
With you guys Gabe ❤ prayers
There is no way to console a parent you must a child at any age but, you now have the understanding to help someone else that will have to go through this. Some parents handle this better then others. If yall aren't doing well reach out to other parents who have been through this. Prayers for your family in this time.
