Is this some sort of joke? Do you honestly think us Sooners buy premium access to Horndicks?
This is not joke. Just thought you OU fans might like to read this. Sorry if
Sorry here you go.
Saw this on another board. Worth reading.
==========================================
"There are endless things to say about the ongoing developments at Baylor, and with many facts still missing, it’s hard to say anything utterly definitive, but I felt like it was worth sharing a quote from a former high school football coach that claims to have known Art Briles on a personal level for decades:
'This day has been decades in the making. All the shady, vile, amoral attitude and behavior of Art Briles' "win at any cost" philosophy has finally caught up to him. He's been racking up a debt against Karma for years and now the bill has finally come due. You reap what you sow, Art. You reap what you sow. This day is for the high school kids you tacitly encouraged to inject poison into their bodies. This day is for the high school kids whom you openly encouraged to play dirty in order to intimidate the opposition. This day is for the high school kids who suffered severe dehydration and needed hospitalization because you prevented air conditioning in the visitor's locker room in order to gain a competitive advantage. This day is for the high school coaches who had to put up with game film missing entire offensive series of your teams so you'd have a competitive advantage. This day is for the high school coaches who you refused to shake hands with after they upset you and ended your winning streak. This day is for the college coaches who had to put up with your false allegations of recruiting violations when you didn't get the kid you wanted. This day is for the college kids who you blocked their transfer when they wanted to be closer to their ailing parents and siblings. This day is for the college kids whom you enabled to continue to do bad things at the expense of learning accountability and integrity so you could continue to win games. But mostly, this day is for the young women whose lives were destroyed by your lack of morality, humanity, and decency. This day is the end of your career on the sidelines. And if you stop to listen, you can hear above the anguished cries of self-righteous indignation from your cult of Baylor fans in Waco the sweet, melodious chorus of justice from heaven's angels. May their anthems ring in your ears for eternity.'
So with that, to all the Baylor people that continue to blindly defend Art Briles, I say shame on you. And to all the Baylor fans that are patting themselves on the back and self-congratulating Baylor for “doing the right thing,” shame on you too. The right thing to do was to fire Briles last August when this dumpster fire of pure evil finally came to light. Instead, Baylor and its fans chose to defend Briles at the most disgusting levels. They screamed that this was all a conspiracy and that people were just jealous of their success. Well guess what Baylor? The only conspiracy were the sickos at your "Christian" school going to criminal lengths to cover up rape. As it appears, the Baylor Board of Regents only fired Briles because Ken Starr threatened, and still does, to go public with what the external investigation found. Starr refused to be a scapegoat, leaked that he told the regents to release the full external report, and left the regents no choice but to fire Art Briles. Just a few days ago, after getting the Pepper Hamilton external report, the regents were planning on canning Starr and doing everything they could to keep Briles. So now Baylor wants people to celebrate them for making the hard decision and “doing the right thing” after actively harboring a Rape Enabler for years? Give me a break Baylor. You didn’t chose to “do the right thing.” You were pinned into a corner and forced to."

I think that poster dislikes Briles more than I do, which is a lot. I think some of the stuff he complained about happens a lot of places. I went through three years of being around a high school football program and the visitor's dressing room never had air conditioning. Of course, the home team's didn't either. I don't believe I was in a high school football dressing room ever that had AC. But it was a different time.
The coaches' office had it, just in case of an emergency. And the omitted tape, is another common accusation. I know a great coach who made it, and was wrong, about a state semifinal game.
This stuff goes on in west Texas. But Briles' team was the dirtiest team in the Big XII, and I'm glad to see him come down. I do think the poster is wrong in one aspect. I don't think we've seen the last of Briles on a sideline.

Wow, that was ... great! I find it difficult to believe that a coach wrote it ... but if one did, he should be teaching English as well as football.
Thanks for posting it, Gramps.

That's what I thought. I hope he's teaching. I guess smaller school still have coaches for teachers.
I hope he's right about Briles never coaching again. Not because he's a good coach, but because he lets thugs like Shawn Oakman on the field with intentions to harm the opponents with dirty plays and targeted late hits, much his off field behavior.
I love a hard hitting defender more than any fan, but I have no doubt Briles encouraged cheaps shots like we saw on Sterling Shepard and Trevor Knight.
Back to the cellar Baylor. Your Johnny Come Lately fans deserve it too.

I am no fan of Briles and sincerely hope his days of coaching has ended; however, and I'm certain to be in the minority, but I don't want Baylor to fall back into the cellar. The B12 needs more competitive members not fewer. I could give a rats ass about the Baylor fans, but a competitive Baylor is good for OU and Sooner fans that want playoff opportunities. I want those that are guilty to pay and I'm sure the NCAA will see that they do. This is different than the Penn State scandal. What happened at Penn State didn't affect the win - loss record or what happened on the field. On the other hand, Briles apparently protected players (criminals) in order to ensure they remained eligible to help win games for him. That's why he and everyone else involved should be out of college sports. Unfortunately Baylor is in the B12 conference and the other members are going to suffer a bit as well...undeservingly. And that sucks.
I understand Oklabama, but I think Texas will be competing at a high level again soon, along with a steady TCU and Oklahoma State, the conference will be fine in football.
It really is up to us and Texas to carry the banner.

I hope so, bc. But, I have more faith in OU than I do the Longhorns in carrying its share of the load. I still don't think Charlie is the long term answer for Texas. Regardless, the B12 must have at least four strong teams. I look for KSU to revert backward again when they lose their head coach AGAIN. If so and Baylor backs up, the conference will have Iowa State, Kansas, Baylor and Kansas State as weights around the other member's necks. I'm not hopeful that Tech has the right coach to make them more competitive either. Expansion selection, if that is going to happen, will be interesting to the say the least.
We're still Oklahoma and we'll get the benefit of the doubt if we handle our business. We keep our ooc schedule strong and there's enough quality teams to have good wins.
Screw Briles, the Bears and the bandwagon fans. Their fall will mean the rise of another.
