It’s that time of the week, it’s time for the recap of the chat. A fast paced super exciting look back at what you, the Scoop reader, might have missed or misunderstood in last night’s chat of Sooner-ish type news. Josh showed up on time… Let me repeat that, The J-man showed up on time… Of course he then went into to hiding, something about a family emergency. The ONLY logical guess is that Mrs. J-man needed someone to watch some old Sex in the City reruns, and no one knows that show better than the J-man. But back to the point, The J-Man is working on his punctuality, just needs some practice.



First Question out of the box from DFW (Didn’t find waldo) is about Mark Jackson. The J-man talked to two (2) people that thinks it’s down to A$M and OU. I think Krueger is doing a great job and I think we should keep to him before hiring Jackson. Heard Henson is looking at a head coaching gig, so maybe Jackson is taking a look at assistant coach at OU??? Should help with recruiting.



Pacheco the Elder had a strong showing in terms of number of questions asked. Momma said if you cannot say something nice about something, don’t say anything at all. So I’ll just leave it at that.



J-Man the GM was asked who he takes with the 1st pick in the NBA draft, a question from the MiracleMan. The real miracle here is who made J-man a GM. Even if he had an MBA and you gave me a GMC. I guess the reporter thing isn’t working out, or Cousin Eddie is out performing him, or Murdock-a-lock is squeezing him out. Whatever the case, he leans to Okafor, but admits he doesn’t follow college ball as much, not a good sign for an NBA GM with an MBA and a GMC, smh and/or ttyl



Pacheco goes with a bold strategy of letting J-man get warmed up for a broad question. I assumed it had to do with a question(s) about Sex in the City. Instead the question (I guess there was a question in there somewhere) is:

I’m interested in your perception of the change (or lack thereof) in culture in the OU football program vis-a-vis your interactions with recruits.... over, say the last 10 years. Show work.



I think the ‘vis-a-vis’ was either auto correct or a typo, what he meant was VISA. Pacheco is really off base here, you don’t pay recruits with VISA, you IM them via the Twitter that they will get a $5 (American) handshake from their respective signing day stringer. As head master of the Stringer brigade, he should have known this. I can only assume this was a trap question for the J-man, which of course he failed, just like that freshman Comp class.



The J-man expects a class size of 24, so expect us to offer 10 guys that are committed to NWOSU in the last week of recruiting, and we should be able to sway 6.5 of those to come to OU.



At 7:41, Pacheco asks a question that goes unanswered. Just like Donald’s prayer that Oklahoma will fall into the ocean this, unanswered… and a bit misguided I might add.



The J-man expects four (4) OL in this class.



Bob with a commentary at 7:41, “bobby has us going to mediocrity”. Interesting commentary about yourself there.



J-man expects the top 3 recruits to land at OU to be Kelly, Whaley, and Kendall. Considering 90% of the time he is only half right I’d say there is a 29.75448% chance of that happening.



Asked who the starting front 4 for OU will be, the J-man goes with Tapper - Walker – Romar… Which of course is only 3 players, proving that J-man’s Math 0123 class went the same way as is English Comp class went. (but hey, the teacher was hot, amiright, let’s hear it from the 0123 math guys up in the house)


Pacheco spoke of talking freely several times and also of the stringers unionizing. I guess they want a cut of the VISA money. Good luck talking freely in Oklahoma and even better luck getting a union going in Oklahoma. You’d have better luck getting a prime parking spot for your Prius at the Twin Peaks in Waco than starting a union in Oklahoma. Even Hoffa knew better than that. You better than Jack Nicholson? I didn’t think so.



J-man expects more transfers. But doesn’t name names. Good idea with Hoffa lurking around.



Question was brought up about Rowdy Frederick. We got to get this kid, best possible name of an OU kid since Buster Kuhn. (Comanche County Kids Rock)



Best question of the night award (sponsored by Waco area Twin Peaks. Come try one of their shots for dinner) goes to a stoned “guest’. “Who would in in a fight between a taco and a grilled cheese?” Great question, but on Taco Tuesday, the answer has to be the taco. I don’t see Grilled Cheese have a day named after it. Taco Tuesday is the greatest day ever, so it is written, so it is done.



Still waiting on the Taco recipe from the J-man. Leave us hanging and we will send you to Stillwater in a sheep costume. I ain’t kidding. @Josh_M

“OK, I am not up to speed.” Quotably quoted.



Much talk of the movie Top Gun especially the sand volleyball scene. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I said where did he go, he said where did who go.



Quick knows the opportunity he has at OU, he’s not going anywhere.



The chat ends at 8:39. In between the start and the end there was talk of recruits that will make 40 year old guys cry because… well just because they like young guys and hate to be spurned by them I guess. Till next week, keep your ball properly inflated.
