I thought it was strange that they compared a party thrown by boosters in Dallas to an official visit hosted by the coach. I'm sure if he'd gone to an OU party in Dallas they would have had the same experience. Seems like they made their decision and then made sure the backstory fit their perspective. Filthy Okie bastards.
Probably so. These recruiting battles are akin to child custody battles.
I don't see the point. Such declarations have proved meaningless in the past and it's not going to make people stop asking questions.I also find it hard to believe that he'd make the switch. Why give up making a ####pile of money at one of the five biggest programs in college football for the stress of an NFL gig.
Read in the Tulsa World he's getting ready to collect a $3 million retention bonus for staying 10 years. He'll get another $250,000 when OU wins next Thursday.

He said today he wasn't a candidate for the job.
This was great news for Sooner Football Fans. Has anyone seen the recruiting class for 2009? Looks pretty good, but I don't understand with the OU pro style offense why OU didn't have more 5 star recruits?
Some pretty good defensive players so far especially with MacFarland and Chaisson. If they get Randle and or Moses they'll be a top 5 class.
And, there's no point in worrying about five star recruits. So many don't pan out. Stoops does a fine job of recruiting good enough players and developing them on campus. As opposed to a certain Tobacco Road Con Man that recruits five stars who are as good as they're going to get the minute they arrive on campus.
I understand, a lot of the guys I work with here in Tulsa are BIG fans, season ticket holders, ex players etc., and they don't feel good about the game either. I just hope that OU can pull out another good game, and the talk of everyone leaving to go pro isn't a distraction. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.24 hours away and I'm feelingI have three guys at work that are Florida fans and they all decided to bring their gear in and come by my desk today. I picked up the box of tissues and told them to keep them through Friday. Besides that though I can't even talk about the game. So many people are just assuming they are not only gonna get beat, but beat bad. I think they have a good chance, dunno. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, if they come out loose and play like a team with nothing to lose as the dog, they are gonna be tough to beat. The special teams worry me, but I like their chances against a very young Florida secondary in a close game. Broyles and Travis Lewis are gonna have big games, and they won't lose if they commit zero turnovers. Outside of that I'm just nervous and excited, could barely concentrate at work today. All I kept thinking about is how Florida State was so much better and faster in 2000 (I wasn't a fan yet then) and how OU was gonna kill LSU. It's really hard to get a feeling for a game after these teams have been off for a month IMO.
Reminds me of the fla st shtick when we shut them down for our 7th crown. Hope the outcome is as satisfying this time around. Still nervous though. I get a lot of crap where I live (between Perry and Stillwater) from aggie fans. Hope to collect on a few bets from some of them. GO SOONERS!
Stephen A Smith went on a long rant of why Florida would win and he used the tackles for loss stat as his anchor. He said OU only had 8 tackles for loss this year while Florida had 87 and that was more than enough for him to predict Florida winning easily. Problem is OU was 8th nationally in tackles for loss, and Florida was 87th. Nice job Stephen, as always you are right on top of ####.

No wonder I was when I first started reading. OU had to have at least 8 tackles for loss in the TTU game alone. The D-Line camped out in TTU's backfield.Saw a quote from Urban Meyer the other day. Said he thinks OU is faster on D than any team UF's faced all year.
I guess Texas will just have to be happy with there 9 ESPN 150 commits.
EDIT : There's still time though esp. for the winner of this game. There are several big time players still undecided.

Two great years. Two conference championships. Two BCS games including a NC game. 1 Heisman Trophy. OU's losing 4/5 of the O-Line. He's done enough. Go get your

The media read Stoops that way also. McCoy coming back is nice and I'd certainly love Bradford to come back because otherwise we are looking at a redshirt freshman qb next year (Jones). I think Gresham is gone but maybe Trent Williams will come back, that would be nice.
Good News! Bradford can always get an insurance policy through Lloyds of London to cover him in case of an injury.
Gresham coming back too!!!!!!!! Here is my take on the O-line for next year. A lot of guessing at this point but if anyone has anything to add or correct here please do so:
Good news indeed, but stupid decision IMO.
They will open vs BYU at Jerryland on Sept 5th (I'm going) unless they move the Tulsa game up to August 29th. I don't think they have a date for that yet. Can you also change this threads subtopic to offseason or something?
