DAYUMM Now it's obama's fault LOL
It's Bob.
Didn't mean to hijack thread. But entitlement society is way worse nowadays.
It is…. and more and more it’s starting to filter its way onto our football team.
I agree. We shouldn't have to fall on our face to see what needs to be done and fix it. We should always be evaluating everything to make sure we're as good as we can possibly be. We should NEVER get lazy and coast.

While that's true, it's not that way on every team. Why is it that way on the ou team? It's Stoops job to eliminate that crap and build a TEAM. Thats kinda his job.
JB needs to be on staff at OU
Not sure, but I thought he meant the entire O-Line.
I get yer point but....
When did Alabama and Oregon take OU to "the woodshed?" By woodshed, I ****ume you mean legit **** beatings, not screw jobs by bad officials (Ore).
You know, what's promising is that those guys from the early Stoops years are in the twilight years of NFL career. Some, like Seth Littrell and Calvin Tibedeaox (sp) are position coaches at other schools. Maybe someday, someone from those years will return to coach here.

We still do have scoreboard on Bama.
So, OU sucks becuase of food stamps? WTF!
Say what?
He does have a point. Have you tried to hire anyone in their 20's lately? The work ethic in that generation is virtually non-existent. The entitlement mentality is so glaring that it's scary. Wouldn't it stand to reason that kids who have been raised to be lazy, soft and entitled in childhood would become lazy, soft and entitled later in life as well. It would only seem logical that those traits would begin creeping their way into college sports as well.

Not in a position to do the hiring but I do work with a few. However the ****umption that all these lazy entitled 20 somethings are that way because of food stamps and welfare is misguided. The laziest ones I know were actually raised in well to do - rich families and never wanted for anything. Two I work with in particular seem to think they should be paid for texting and checking their Iphone. They never had to work a day in their life and now that they are out of college and in the real world they resent actually having to earn something. If given the choice they would be a burdan on their parents forever.
There are also about half a dozen threads about this very subject in the Thunderdome. Stop ****ing with my football butthurt.
Just now listening to the podcast. I ****in luv Jammal Brown.
JB is now seen as a dip**** and a gloomer by many in this forum.
1946, lost to conference co-champ Kansas
1976, lost to both conference co-champs OklahomaState and Colorado
1978, lost to conference co-champ Nebraska
And really, Stoops is not being a hypocrite. The league rules have changed. When there was a CCG the championship was cut and dry. It's just hilarious that the conference had the audacity to claim that, with just 10 teams and the round robin, a true conference champion would be determined, lol.
so wouldn't Alabama have even MORE entitled players, than say OU does? Why don't they have that problem there?

Nick Saban still has that hunger.

Do you think those guys from the 76 team walk around showing off their 3 way co champ rings like they are the ****? I don't.
There are differences between how players and fans feel about certain seasons and how athletic departments use those seasons to market their teams. To make the leap from 'JB said we shouldnt brag about co champs' to the Athletic Department should claim those years is not something I can on board with.
Cause saban can make a grown man and pro athlete cry, imagine what he can do to these college kids
I'm pretty sure Barry Switzer claims those conference championships for 1976 and 1978, those he does qualify them as 'shared'.

He probably gave 'those' rings to some of his many grandchildren.
So by giving something which in your mind is less valuable, to his grandchildren, you are insinuating that he doesn't care much for his grandchildren. Wow, just make **** up that suits you, lol.....
That was a joke dude.
staying in the soft **** big 12 w/ OSUcks and UT was the downfall of this program
Why stop there? Why don't we just recruit "great" players and make them "all-Americans?" After they sign, we'll induct them into the OU Hall of Fame.
The whole damn Big 12 is soft. There has been a monumental slide. Ironically, Texas is horrible and yet we didn't take advantage.

Bingo.
I think all team players should get an individual trophy and juice box when the season is over.
Other than Moobs.
The problem is that our coaches have decided that as long as we are beating texas we are okay. Problem is, texas has become too easy to beat and other teams have easily surpassed both of our dumb ****es.
In the meantime, Bob has become more concerned with hiring his friends, building a castle, and NOT having a heart attack.

I agree especially if we start seeing attitude changes and scheme changes to something a little more physical. The thing you see in teams like other top teams today is that attitude from the top on down. We are so freakin soft.
I know. It's shocking that people have actually moved beyond it being "Bush's fault."
I think it was what Stoops said last year before facing OSU that makes him a hypocrite this year.

As an educator I can promise you, NO KIDS SAY THIS. Old people always making up crap about "kids these days." That never changes.

Not really at all. Remember welfare reform in the 90s? And people blaming Obama are just ignorant. He's done nothing to expand entitlement programs. At all. And if anyone says Obamacare my head will explode because it means you don't know that Medicaid has been around for 50 years. Moving on...

Entitlement reform in the 90s cut welfare.
Agree to disagree.
Nonsense. I recently hired two twenty-somethings and they are top notch. Work long hours, have great attitude, are very contemplative, and their work-product is excellent given their lack of experience.
Yeah right, noticed all those problems with the Bama players last night. Bull ****, it is coaching and attitude within the program. What you say about society in general is spot on. Coaches simply make it known what flies and doesn't fly in their program. Saban is a grade A ****hole in more ways than one, but he gets it done. OUr program is in dire need of a major attitude adjustment and it starts and ends at the top. Pathetic state of affairs for such a proud and tradition filled program.

I don’t know where you teach but I don’t think you’re very tuned in to what’s actually happening
in our large public schools. I am married to a long time educator and have several relatives that tech in college to grade school levels, some are in administration, and I know and hear what other educators say.
At least 15 educators from 3 major metropolitan areas have indicated in one way or another that they have kids on a near daily basses tha tsay the government will take care of them…… They also tell me that other educators hear this. They all say the issue of entitlement is significantly worse now than it was just 5 or so years ago. With no child left behind what we teach kids has changed… The public schools mostly teach kids how to test and not how to reason and the other skills they will need.
This is not to say that these problems can’t be overcome by individuals and by a football program who has the right leadership in place.
Seriously....Can we get a mod to clean this **** up?
