Rough news day for Sooners

    The only one I saw reporting it was Finch himself. But we'll see.

    In other news, Gardner will not be in this January, but will instead go to CC another semester and report to OU next spring

    Which means technically, he's no longer "signed" with OU, so he can go anywhere. It's not likely that he'll switch in only one semester but anything is possible. It'll surely help OU with the recruitment of Devonte Bond who is also at that JUCO. It's a big hit to the year, but gives Bell another weapon to go to for his two years when he takes over.

    A big, big wild card is all WAC Jalen Saunders. If he's granted immediate eligibility then that gives our WR group a shot in the arm. If not, we will be relying on 19 year old freshman and a JUCO guy to give Stills some help.

    Well, the last two visits? In 08, I think we won. In 10, I think we lost. As for Boise, man c'mon, you really want to go there with some of the losses texas has on its resume, at home no less? The Boise game was a great game. Whats embarrassing was the Utah vs Alabama game. Nobody talks about it because Bama got blown out.....LOL.

    For Boise, a freaking technical school to hang with you & kick you to the curb like it did can not compare to any loss that Texas has had... wait, I guess you'll say that it was in a BCS game! You're right... the Boise game was a great game for them... I never laughed so hard in my life watching them out-play the mighty Oklahoma Sooners... they have so many remembrances of that game all over their facilities!

    We seemed to recover pretty good from that game, so no big deal. Your loss at home to IAst is far worse. UCLA too. Im not going to get into comparisons because there is none. OU is the best program in the conference.

    There is nothing more dangerous in this world than a man with nothing to lose.

    You paperclips have to pull you head out a knotch or two & refrain from looking at your program with those brown colored glasses... losing to a technical college cannot compare!

    Yep... best at probation!

    Since you idiot Sooner fans keep living in the past.....how about your home loss to TCU? Since they whipped your asses and now in the conference does that mean they are the best now?

    Or is it like 2008 and you get your ass beat on a neutral field and you morons still claim to be the best?

    Or is it like 2006 and you get busted paying players and still claim to be the best?

    Or the 80's when you paid players gaining a competitive advantage and still claim to be the best?

    Or the mid 70's when you paid players, got put on probation and weren't even allowed to play in the post season and still claim to be the best?

    Or the 1950's when you admittingly paid your team approximately $2 million dollars a year (in today's dollars), got put on probation and weren't even allowed to play in the post season and still claim to be the best and should have had to forfeit every game of the phantom 47 game win streak because you gained an illegal competitive advantage. Which is it?

    I wont shy away.

    OU has lost 3 times at home since 99.
    Stoops has a winning record vs texas to include 5 in a row and has never lost more than 2 in a row.
    Stoops has never had a losing season.
    Stoops has 1 MNC, OU 7 overall
    OU has 7 B12 titles
    OU has 4 heisman winners. Stoops has had two winners and two runner ups.
    OU has 3 BCS bowl wins. Orange, Rose and Fiesta
    OU has 5 MNC appearances
    2008 was a great team that earned its place.
    2006 didnt have one player on the field that got paid for work not done.
    I was too young in the 80s to care.
    ditto the 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s and so on. Take that up with the record books, not me.

    I am not too young to acknowledge that Stoops is the #1 coach in the B12, OU is the #1 program in the B12 and this year is a chance for us to keep adding to that. You guys have a proud program and thats great, but you have to admit that youre playing second fiddle to OU right now in most categories. You have us in money, but after that, its OU first, texas second in most areas.

  • I like bruthaman. He comes over, talks major shit, but in a calm, cool and collected tone, so as to not be banned, so he can come over here tomorrow and talk even more shit. He plays the system the way everyone should play it, if the sooner mods weren't such gaping vaginas that they can't let other 247 sites' members post on their board. Not to mention, bruthaman is brazen enough to refer to himself as a brother (hence: "brutha" - bpp) with a picture of a known racist as his avatar.

    It didn’t help that Mack had Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops telling him how good Greg Davis was, and that he should give him another year to prove himself.


    Mack Brown is now taking advice from Stoops and Switzer? that's an interesting revelation. i was kind of under the impression they didn't like Texas. thanks for sharing that unknown gem.

    None of that compares to the baseball title UT bought in 2001. You are supposed to be Texas and not have the need to cheat and have an extra recruiter out recruiting. UT tries to come across as a squeeky clean Penn St but Augie buying players and hiring extra coaches must be necessary for championships.

    Sad thing is, Augie is still there and UT fans accept his cheating as a necessary need to stay relevant. It's quite hypocritical.

    Also, Mack was responsible for a major violation at OU in '85. He wouldn't work for the state set pay and Switzer had to personally supplement his pay. To hear a Horn talk about Mack, you'd think he was in Joe Paterno rarified air.

  • Baseball? There's no cheating (or crying) in baseball. Only a limited number even care that we play until the CWS comes around. At least make up an accusation that someone would care about.

    It is highly unlikely that the pay levels of assistant coaches has ever been an NCAA matter much less a violation. If you say Switzer paid Mack out of his TV or endorsement revenues, that means it was outside of the state pay scale and rules too. Of course, that would also be hard to believe since he had moved on to be head coach at Tulane in 85 and wasnot at OU. Maybe you are confusing him with one of your players named Mack that Switzer paid? He was known for that over the years.

    And I thought it was hush money that Switzer paid Mack.

    Ha, cheating for baseball NCs don't count? That's funny. It's also funny how willow doesn't mention the DKR violations or the attempt to buy Marcus Dupree. He also didn't mention the attempt to set up Jamarkus McFarland's mother with a loan she wouldn't have to pay back. He also failed to mention that Colt McCoy's wife revealed shadiness in the current UT program. Like I said, UT likes to consider themselves among the Penn State's of college football, but we all know it isn't clean in Austin.

    Also the Mack Brown major violation at OU is something for the Texas experts on OU violations. If you are unaware of his shadiness (and DKRs too) at OU, then you need to ask experts like the willow chick.

    You also forgot about the murders and the rapes at Texas. Oh wait, that's your school...

    Are you seriously playing the Marcus Dupree and Jamarkus McFarland card? You're still trying to win this argument right??

    BTW, I'll give you the Rachel McCoy zing. I did offer to buy Colt McCoy a beer once, but he declined. Score one for yourself there Deep!
