Did yall see the video of DGB getting to Mizzou
then the "leaks’ out of it?
what a bunch of douche bags
i didn't see it
"I feel sorry for peple who don't drink, when they wake up in the morning thats as good as they are gonna feel all day long." Frank Sinatra
I did
And I’m curious if you felt as uncomfortable watching it as I did?
I don’t think OU fans would do something like that for good and bad reasons. Good = we’re not so unaccustomed to getting elite recruits. Bad = we’re kind of an apathetic/spoiled fan base that wouldn’t go gather outside somewhere to celebrate a recruit.
I very much like the fact that wouldn’t happen at OU, whether it’s for the good or bad reason.

I also think
Based on a lot of what DGB and his family have said, that crowd made them more uncomfortable than it impressed them.

The whole things looks staged
why and how would that give a kid the feel of the campus and campus life on a day to day basis?
staged? no one organized any of that
it was just a bunch of college kids with nothing better to do.
Ok - I'm just stating the way it looked
I still don’t get how it looks good to a recruit? Let’s put ourselves in DGB’s shoes…sure it may be a nice warming party but when it is all said and done, what did it do in terms of recruiting him? Will he remember it on signing day or will it go by the wayside?
Me personally, if I were being recruited it would be only about football. He will play on the next level and needs to go where he can excel and develop on the field, in order to be ready for the NFL all while staying eligible which we here at OU are all too familiar with fan favorites not being eligible. So yes the classroom atmosphere is something I’d consider.
well i sincerely doubt that many 17-18 year old football players are thinking about classes on their official visit
call it a hunch.
Maybe not but it is known that DGB's family will weigh in before his decision
Ultimately the decision is his yes, but we saw the disappointment when a recruit chose Bama over LSU. If his is close to his family at all, which I assume he is, MU might have made a boo boo.
we've been recruiting him for 5 years
if he changes his mind because a bunch of college students got excited and waited for him to show up then….well, he wasn’t really firm on his decision anyway
Well
When the decision is close, anything can make the difference.

i'm telling you, i know a couple people that were there
they weren’t there because anyone told them to be
Well as a group they looked dumb.
Whoever recorded that & posted it for the world to see did mizzou no favors.

why is that?
whose opinion besides dgb’s matters?
Since its all over the Internet & YouTube
Recruits & families of potential recruits will see it. Hards$$ sec recruiters will see it. Lame-o.

Yeah, the horn honking at them as they turned into the lot
Looked any thing but planned (((sarcasm)))

the basic problem with Kish
is that it smacks of NO CHANGE – it’s unrealistic that stoops will hire someone he doesn’t KNOW
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
dgb
So u think our chances of getting him are better or worse after this weekend?

hard to say
As bad as I thought it was, sometimes kid eat that attention up. I’d say about the same, I still think it’s Arkansas. But man am I just ready for it to be over.

me too, recruiting gets real old for me real fast
I think it’s just not knowing rather or not we’re gonna land that one huge recruit or will he go somewhere I absolutely hate

davonte neal/ zach banner
Any good or bad news on those guys? Also wondering if there are some db’s that may be committing soon?

latest
Neal isn’t deciding until after signing day and has plans to take one more visit the week after NSD. Maybe it’s to OU or maybe it’s to Arizona where it’s currently scheduled. Kind of have a feeling Kish gets him to campus and after that it’s a toss up.
Banner is announcing tomorrow and I’d be pretty surprised if it isn’t USC. Hope I’m wrong, I know he has a good connection w/ several OU commits, but I think pulling him from the left coast is gonna be tough.

I dont miss the lame-o run run run up to the line. PAUSE
then run right up the butt of the right guard for 2 yards.
Chris Brown always made something out of those plays
we simply weren’t getting those type of recruits anymore
same with Murray.
But the point is if you are gonna run a simple run play, then run it, dont get all fricking cute & run the clock down to 1 second & then gain 2 yards.
Ugh
BCS Nat’l championship flashbacks. It’s even worse when you do it multiple times near the goal line.

And no offense but OU has gotten a fair enough amount from the west coast already.
There are always several on the rosters.
oh I agree.
I just get tired of people saying “these cali recruits” in a negative light, like they are the problem.
they are definitely taking a noticeable
more “national” approach to recruiting. it’s been evident these last couple years and their 2013 offers already indicate the same.

I know. I wasnt disagreeing with you per se.
Just that we have been hitting the west coast, its not new. An increased presence probably means we get in quicker.
how do you know that martinez
is gone because he was the last one in, first one out to make room for Mike? just because he’s not “in the family” doesn’t mean that stoops doesn’t know him.
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
I'm sure Stoops knew him
He’s been in the business a long time and there are tons of coaches he knows but the “Stoops Mold” generally consists of a specific coaching tree or working together on a previous staff
oh my

Bottom line: this team is exceeding expectations.
And now they HAVE WON a close one!
Krueger is coaching as well as anyone in the nation. Compare to last year. Cade would have really contributed to this team.

his grandfather was my coach growing up.
I have known his mom & dad since I was about 2…..
very very nice people. But they are all 3 or 4 inches shorter than him
The DGB video is emberassing.
Emberassing for him. For his family. For MIZZOU students.
Its pretty much what Pinkel deserves though.
fight the power jte, don't cave and make one

haha, that has happened to me before

so it would seem

it's never happening
Twitter maybe, but Facebook will never, ever happen.

They are switching their layout to something not is comfortable with and I think people will run to twitter or google+
