  1. Something about how he would try to prevent the same type of abusive culture that existed in the locker room 10 years ago... With lots of ranting about integrity of our players...
  2. Those dam double stacks... They get you every time!
  3. Totally agree that they should filter out questions first. Don't think we will see that format again...
  4. It was a fun event... For those who also went yesterday, What was up with that ladies first question??? That was bizarre. Coach Strong was off kilt after that one.
  5. Maybe we can watch him on the new season of Last Chance U???
  6. Was once offered to be USF's... and must have turned it down. Bob Stoops is retiring at OU, effectively immediately, a source told me Wednesday, confirming a Daily Oklahoman report. Lincoln Riley is set to take over the program. The 56-year-old Stoops led Oklahoma to the 2000 national title and took the Sooners to 10 Big 12 titles, including in each of the past two seasons. He won Big 12 coach of the Year honors six times. The Sooners went 60-30 (.667) against AP Top 25 foes during his tenure—the highest winnning percentage against ranked teams of any school during that stretch. His teams also went 25-11 against its two biggest rivals (14-4 vs. Oklahoma State and 11-7 against Texas). In 1999, Stoops took over a proud program that had gone five years without a winning season and by his second season, he coached the Sooners to the national title. In 18 seasons, Stoops produced seven Top 5 finishes and 11 in the Top 10. The 33-year-old Riley won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach in 2015. The Texas native, who has spent seven seasons as an offensive coordinator, is the latest in a run of Sooner coaches who took over the program in their 30s. Legendary OU coach Bud Wilkinson was 31 when he was promoted to the head coaching job. Chuck Fairbanks was 34 when he took over at Oklahoma. Barry Switzer was 36 and Stoops was 39 when he was hired in Norman as the new head man. Three of those four head coaches won national titles at OU, and the fourth, Fairbanks, led the Sooners to three top three finishes in his six seasons there. Riley has passed on several FBS head coaching opportunities in recent years, including at Purdue, USF, Cincinnati and Houston. OU brass has been grooming him for this opportunity for over a year. Last fall, OU began working on an unprecedented three-year deal for an assistant. In 2016, QB Baker Mayfield and WR Dede Westbrook finished third and fourth in Heisman Trophy voting, while Westbrook was a unanimous All-American and OU’s first recipient of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver. The Sooners averaged 7.5 yards per play, second-best in school history (7.6 in 1971).
  7. Something tells me this list isn't done yet... Still a few transfers in play (Woods, Smith and others)
  8. Sounds like this gentlemen is trying to take a real bit out of crime...
  9. Rumors are he wants to return to the area... We have 4 spots left... just saying :-)
  10. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2709950-predicting-the-top-25-offenses-in-college-football-in-2017?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=programming-national
  11. HIGHLY suspect that ND would give up independence... don't buy it.
  12. Those last few holes made me think of this clip...
