Wow, I thought Prince would get the first in-state offer at TE.

Agreed.

I feel like Stoops is at that point in his career where he'll either flame out or put together a final period of dominance. The new playoff is a great opportunity for OU.

I agree, USAO, especially in that I believe 2014 will be pivotal both to Stoops' legacy and his future. In that sense, 2013 is really interesting to me. Will OU be setting up something great or...

Could be a generational thing: back in my day it was common knowledge that GPA was useless, that the degree itself mattered (along with, in many cases, the "brand" of the university). But I could...

Been thinking on it: do y'all think Stoops will have one more run at greatness before he retires or moves on?

It's happened before: Switzer from 85-87. Tom Osborne in the mid-90s. You could...

A Mookie is always welcome at Oklahoma.

I hope you're right!

He is, and it's much appreciated. However, the majority of the athletes he highlights are from the southeast, and I'll bet OU doesn't get a damn one of them.

Very good points, but big-time donors can also be a curse. See: Pickens, Boone. And: the collection of Texas billionaires who love Mack's country club and will ensure that the most important...

Melbi, what's the rumor that the espn guys deleted?

Edit: or is it what Sooner Dan already posted?

Ha! How do you feel about Cricket?

I have no clue where Tyler Smith ended up.

The article's author overlooks issues of race and cl****. (I'm not trying to go O'Connell's here; bear with me.)

In well-heeled suburbs, I can see football carrying a stigma, like smoking (a...

Yep. Michiah Quick would be the feather in his cap. If he lands Parker and Quick, then it's already a good cl**** regardless of who else he signs.

I just can't see it happening. If Monty pulls Hand out of Virginia, then he becomes the top recruiter on staff, period.

Melbi, on the shag they're saying he told a rivals reporter that his top three are Miami, FSU, and UCLA.

He does seem a bit flaky, so I think tOSU, Florida, and, yes, OU are still in play. I'm...

Surprised LSU's number was so low.

Texas has way more 3-stars than usual. And only three in the rivals 100. Pretty meager according to their standard.

Meso, did he ever get convicted of that charge?

Yes, Adam James was the videographer.

He's been pouring caramel and hot fudge on the gr****.

There's interest from both parties. Evitt grew up an OSU fan but came over to the light side recently. He needs to get his grades in order. Gundy will visit him during spring.

My feeling: if...

I don't know, seems like he'll pull the trigger for A & M soon.

I'm pretty hairy, unfortunately.

Okay, I'll fess up: I'm an Arab.

The speaks the truth.

It's out of our control, friends. Nothing to do but wait and see.

Yep, it's OSU who's **** out of luck with Cornwell.

Just ribbing you, Darrell. No nastiness intended.

At least one good thing will come of Stoops's unwillingness to change.

Phil Simms' son just committed to Texas. We're royally ****ed the next four years.

And succeeding, from what I hear.

[Uncle Si] Hey! [voice]

There may be something to the fatness-lack-of-success correlation. Y'all seen Mack Brown lately?

At least they're not ****ting us.

We're generally still considered to be, but the longer this takes, well...you know. Some feeling out there that ND will pose a serious challenge, and one of the ESPN writers has tabbed Bama as his...

Crimson, he was just offered by Bama. Apparently, they're a player for him, along with Notre Dame.

I share your frustration, melbi, but I say it's best to leave him be.

FYI: Hansen in Norman today according to espn. No commit expected, but a good sign, nonetheless.

Bill Bates's son. According to Huntin, who knows what he's talking about, Bill and son have supposedly expressed interest in OU, so maybe there's a fighting chance.

Mack already does wiener roasts with his upperclassmen.

And Turner saw Millard's crotch as he was being bowled over.

'Cause this is all about education, man. Didn't you know? That's why the system is so honest, duh.

^^^

Yep. Getting pedantic about what does or does not constitute a pet peeve is a surefire sign.

Hate to be that guy, but only the four seeds are all pet peeves. Most of the others are one-time annoyances.

[Alanis] Isn't it ironic? [/Morissette]

When the cluster**** of idiotic California state legislators and the greedy, incompetent UC System admins finish their work, Berkeley will be chugging along mainly on reputation.

This is the...

ESPN has a story (insider, so I can't post) about Hansen's visit to A&M. I'm no mind reader, but he didn't sound to me like an A&M lean.

Perhaps he's playing everything cool, but I'm a bit...

Seems like OU is going after a bunch of really tall WR's this year. I wonder if it's happenstance or design?

Yep. I think Manning taught us all a lesson about the fickleness of recruiting.

OU is in strong position at the moment, but for all we know he could get blown away by Notre Dame or USC.

Great call, fanpa (and kudos on the ID, huntin).

Judging from the interview, OU and Bama are standing out most to him. He lit up when discussing Bama, though. In any case, it seems OU has a...

I'm so proud of myself for getting this without having to mull it over. (Or should I be ashamed?)

Love these rolling "junior days" OU's doing now. Makes recruiting much more exciting.

I'm pretty much an anarchist, dislike nearly every form of authority, including (especially?) cops (though there are plenty of exceptions). I've spent plenty of days in driver's school for my...
