what a classless head coach

[sooner_mike]

Of course class doesn't land in Austin very often anyway.

Lon is way to classy for this guy.

Hard to imagine Mr. Kruger behaving that way, and saying texas Sucks, even though they do...

You're right he would never be like that.

 

[trademarcs]

It's jealousy.......always is with bonghorns.

I can say this with a high degree of certainty, that if Lon Kruger had done the same in leading a "Texas sucks" moment, he would be applauded on this board and by most all OU fans.

I applaud you for fantasizing about it.

 

[SoonerTulsan]

Coach Kruger is a little more "mature". Plus, even if he wanted to do so, his experience would likely tell him such a stunt might come back to haunt him if say we played them...in the B12 tourney?

Seriously, I think the only time you have not argued with me on something is when I said something good about Texas. I know most of the people on this board, several personally, and none would take up for Lon saying something this juvenile in public.

Yep.

 

[RealDallasSooner]

Huge Shaka Smart fan. I don't mind it at all. Should have beat his butt and made him look stupid, but we didn't.

I can see Mike Stoops saying Texas sucks to a bunch of OU fans, couldn't you??

I don't applaud someone being honest. We all know Texas sucks, are you missing something here?

Smart got his ass kicked last night by the big bad wolf of the league he will be gone within 5 years. He won't beat KU and OU consistently. He is brash but he isn't going to own the Big 12 like he owned the league at VCU

 

[RealDallasSooner]

Not sure anyone beats KU consistently but I think he is there to stay. Time will tell.

"If" is the operative word here, but I don't see Lon ever leading OU fans in a "texas sucks" cheer. That seems kind of beneath him, but I am not surprised that a horn coach would denigrate an opponent.

 

[8085sooner]

Did anyone else see him call a player an Asshole, right as he walking off the court, at the start of Halftime?

 

[dfwsoonerfan]

Ou and Ku will kick his tail

 

[RealDallasSooner]

Well we have our best team in a decade and we beat him on a last second shot at home and got beat by a good margin at Texas this year. But I would say so far with a 1-1 record vs. Coach Kruger there hasn't been a lot of tail kicking happening.

He's got 3 top 100 national commits that will be freshmen next year (the #11 class in the country) and is the favorite to get one last commit from Jarrett Allen a top 25 kid in the class of 2016 who's from Austin this spring. Which would give him a great recruiting class.

I'm a Shaka Smart fan from a long time back, so I think if you are playing him off as a flash in the pan coach you are crazy.

 

[Longhorn Crazy]

I hate the OU sucks crap by our fans. They are probably the same ones that don't like the Horns down. Shaka saying it to a bunch of students is not a big deal though.

Shaka is a big Buddy Hield fan just like all Texas fans.

 

[barkingwater2000]

I don't see what the big deal is. Smart is a young, outgoing coach and he was just having a little fun. Who cares

 

[SoonerTulsan]

Yep.

Times infinity.

You're right I do agree. That's definitely the key word. But I concur I just don't see a guy like Lon doing something of this nature.

Of course it's juvenile. But we know as OU fans, it's celebrated every time a good ole "Texas Sucks" is yelled out in public. So whether it's juvenile or not has never mattered over the course of history in the rivalry between OU and the Whorns.

 

[barkingwater2000]

You're right I do agree. That's definitely the key word. But I concur I just don't see a guy like Lon doing something of this nature.

Lon would look kinda ridiculous saying "Texas sucks". He might have could pulled that off 30 yrs ago but not now

 

[bcsoonerfan]

As fans it's our job to remind Texas of their suckage.

But I want to see our coaches and players represent the program with class and respect for their opponents....even if they don't.

Rare exceptions with players can be made I.e. The Boz

bc you honestly have a problem with our players yelling Texas sucks? I don't

 

[bcsoonerfan]

In situations, not really, but in front of media I like to see respect for the competition. Save the attitude and chip on the shoulder for the game. Before and after game is time to show class. Jmo.

Actually, I hope he does. He never won a league title (either Colonial or A-10 ) in his 6 years at VCU.

Sucks is a pretty nasty word for someone with a heavy lisp.

I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps that is why we never heard Lon say it before? I bet he wants to really bad
