Re: Bama,s future

Law 41 of The Laws of Power: “Avoid stepping into a great man’s shoes.” Why would DeBoer go there? He is from South Dakota. I remember what happened after Bear Bryant. No matter how good a coach you are, you will never be thought of as as being nearly good as who you replace. Alabama never recovered...

Re: Totally unsubstantiated rumor about Jackson looking at Ohio State

I don’t believe the school is allowed to reach out to the player. It Hass to be initiated by the player.

Re: Missouri

I went up to Columbia in 81 and they beat us 19-14, I think. They weren’t too kind, as I recall.

They had a white running back named George Shorthose. Crazy name.

Re: Top-Notch Interview of Greg Sankey with Tramel

I wonder is the “rival” will be either Arky or Mizzery? Bordering states.

Re: OU Wrestling @ Central Michigan for season's 1st Dual Match !

Remains to be seen. CMU is hardly a Big 10 power. I will give Kish credit for working hard on recruiting, but the success of that (or lack thereof) will take a long time to be revealed. It’s nice that he is recruiting Oklahoma kids, as compared to his predecessor.

Re: OU vs Kansas Leadup Talk

To me, the Kansas offense has a pulse. It has been said that their defense is seriously lacking especially against the run. That may turn out to be....however the week before we played UCF, Kansas ran all over them 51-22 and we were then told that UCF had no defense, and we then proceeded to strugg...

Well not quite, but close... :dude:
I was there in 85! Felt much just to arrive there alive, with all the ice on the roads.

Re: SC vs Colorado

I don’t think it has anything to do with the defensive coordinator. I think it has everything to do with the offense. The office can’t control the ball and wear down a defense. Look at Texas Tech under Mike Leach. Case in point.

Underdogs to Fexas

Remember how Stoops used to get the team to always play their best when underdogs in this game? Hopefully given BV’s experience as an assistant back then, maybe he can channel that to a W.

Re: Guys .........Im worried

One of the 48 Laws of Power: “Never step into a great man’s shoes.”

No matter how good you are you will never be as good. It happened after Bear Bryant. It will happen again.

Re: One of my fav's of all-time...Nice Article

I think Bob set Josh up for failure by promoting him to being OC to soon. Clearly what he was doing was not working, and he was not recruiting top quarterbacks either. And then switching to the pistol formation? What a head scratcher.
