Not everything at OU has been positive over in recent years and the overhaul of the coaching staff has been the most graphic proof of this, as well as some poorly played games, which means BOTH coaches and players have faltered. Consequently, Oklahoma fans have vented frustration and disappointment.....fairly or unfairly....and through it all, why let this bother you ?
Mr. Negative back again after an incredibly great and emotional Sooner victory taking unwarranted negative pot shots at other Sooner posters. Have you no shame?
You don't seem to enjoy life at all unless you are bullying? Is hatred your primary motivator in life?
Oh no! You're "in my head"!!

mike,
Why does another's opinion on a message board that presumably advocates diversity of thought expressed civilly seem to bother you so?
And clearly much of that flaming was confirmed to be justified as Bob has fired and/or replaced virtually his entire staff the last few seasons. (except Cale Gundy of course)
It's a stinkin' message board mike for civilly expressed opinions - those you agree with and those of which you disagree. Why do some here seem to lack the needed patience and tolerance to live and let live? It has become, for some, a forum to show their despicable disdain for the personality and thoughts of others.
ST,
mike,
I respectfully disagree. Much like Christianity, this board would grow exponentially with a proper effort and a respected and tolerant approach towards growth.
I don't believe Baylor skipped a beat with Stidham at QB. He was every bit as composed as Russell, was as accurate as Russell, was protected as well as Russell, and is a very good runner as Russell. He almost pulled it off with those intangibles. He's gonna be a great QB for BU.
What happened before Bob Stoops arrived is completely irrelevant. Let me ask you a hypothetical question since you brought it up.......if Bob Stoops went 8-5 every season for the next 10 years, would you still support him basing it on how bad OU football was in the decade before he arrived?? You seem to love to conjure up memories of the worst era of OU football. The error in that way of thinking, is that era is NOT what the tradition of OU football was built on. OU football should be about striving to WIN. NOT making decisions because you are afraid to LOSE. Plaino, your way of thinking is like a coach who goes to a prevent defense with 3min left in the game with a 2 point lead.
I put the important part in bold, because if you have heard enough Bob Stoops press conferences, then you would know that he feels that way about the OU football program. I specifically remember him a couple of years ago making mention that 10 win seasons don't cut it at a program like OU. So ya know what, if the OU head coach feels that way about the program, then you damn right I'm gonna mirror that kind of confidence and expectation. But Plaino, don't blame me, or try to lecture me if you are happy and content with 8 win seasons.
Well ya know...that's kinda the history of OU fans isn't it. But hey, do you also think Bob Stoops has an "entitled" mentality because he realized that even 10 win seasons don't cut it at a place like OU?? You seem to want to hold OU fans who don't agree with you to a different standard than the head coach of OU seems to want to encourage. Plaino, why aren't you able to encourage what the OU coach wants to encourage?? Why are you actively trying to encourage a mentality that falls below the standards that Bob Stoops himself has publicly stated??
So what you are saying is you are trying to take away from OUs win last night?? Why else would you be going out of your way to say Baylor was playing a true freshman when OU played them?? Plaino....stop making excuses for Baylor.
Yep sometimes you just get beat. No coach is ever going to win them all. But one thing that separates you from a man like Bob Stoops....is Bob can take accountability after games they get beaten. Many times Bob has flat out admitted they got outcoached. Oddly enough Plaino, that goes against your theory that players either make plays or they don't. At least Bob is man enough to stand at the podium and allocate blame where it is needed.....and he doesn't exclude himself. Oddly though Plaino, is you think Bob Stoops is infallible and/or immune from responsibility or accountability for what happens on the field.
This is the best response you can come up with??? Let me know when you come up with a legit response as to why you think your opinion is right, and Bob Stoops is wrong.
It's sold under both names actually....wiffle is generally the most common.Whiff-le ball
