PrintOklahoma's athletics have turned to basketball where the Sooners are off to a rough 0-2 conference start so you better believe we'll be discussing that tonight. We also can't do an entire show without discussing at least some football so tonight (in addition to coaching rumors) we'll be addressing Oklahoma attention, or lack thereof, towards special teams.
Join us! You know you want to.

Wow.
Slow night…I guess everyone is still celebrating the Broncos win.
"All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers. Each another's audience outside the gilded stage." Rush-Limelight
didn't catch that. everyone is going crazy here in colorado
"All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers. Each another's audience outside the gilded stage." Rush-Limelight
it's already started

is blowing up twitter with TEBOW chatter…
why is it necessary for tony jefferson
to know who his position coach is at this point in time? They aren’t even in school and probably not working out yet. Does the coaching staff need the players permission to make changes?
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
Is it necessary? No.
But is it inconceivable that he gets pissed about the not knowing and decides to leave?
Plus if you've got trouble w/ players buying in
And they think they can’t trust their coaches couldn’t that also cause problems?
I don't believe that players aren't "buying in"
because they can’t trust their coaches. IMO the problem is the nature of a a young kid today being asked to work his ass off when he has never had to before
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
I think he es trying to support the kid & was more like
“hey we don’t even know”… You’re not alone. His tweet was a response to the recruit tweet
are you really suggesting
that jefferson would leave because he’s not kept in the loop???
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
I don't think anyone is saying that but
I agree that it can be frustrating for a kid to not know about his position coach. I’m also pretty certain that T. Jefferson already knows.
No, I'm not suggesting it
Just saying that it’s not out of the realm of possibility. In the end (classic Stoops), we’re dealing with 18-20 something year olds so to say anything definitively isn’t very smart IMO.
I would say however
That if they hired a guy and Jefferson or any other player hated who they hired, could they leave then? Absolutely IMO.
the logic of this discussion
seems to assume that m stoops will replace martinez. Are you suggesting that the players will hate m stoops and leave?
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
Maybe
Mike isn’t exactly a laid back guy and if his demeanor on the sideline is any indication of how he might be w/ these guys in practice, then yeah I don’t think it’s inconceivable that he could rub some of these guys the wrong way.
true
but asking them to simply go to class seems to piss some of them off as well
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
and we both know
he will be in their face and if they can’t handle that, then maybe they should leave. Nobody on any other college staff will get in their face and certainly no NFL coach will either

how can you coach football
if you’re afraid players are going to get hurt. That’s just football
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
kick coverage
is a SUICIDE squad – why would you put your starters at risk. If OU has the caliber of athletes that we think they have, why not use backups? Oh yeah, they don’t have a special teams coach to coach them up!
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
If they are being that cautious whats does it tell the players?
"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
exactly, and you're not winning coaching fear into your team
"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
yeah he has,
you know that look he had on the sideline after bedlam, that’s humble pie
"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 guess you're right
You mean this look?

that would be the one
"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 think if you poll them
they would all want him to go pro, and not have to face OU led with Landry Jones
I think it does
I mean he’s no Tim Tebow that wins despite everything….or even an Robert Griffin III that can just carry the team by himself
of course they would rather prepare for
drew allen or blake bell, but that doesn’t mean they FEAR landry jones – maybe his experience, maybe
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
assuming he's eligible
consider trey metoyer to fear
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
and that is the current problem
"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 think they do need a "star" or two...but we need hunger too
We haven’t had a player that could carry a team on offense for awhile.
hunger/drive with talent
seems to be in short supply
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
yes shockingly so
I think it’s the twitter/media society that waters down kids passions, and teaches them to not really just be too “cocky”. A little cocky goes a long way!
There's a do-it-yourself joke here
between the ingredients of a picture of someone who used P.E.D.s at one time or another and the phrase “a little cocky”
Rumor has it that Texas is about to sign a huge corporate sponsorship deal for the Longhorn Network. They just have to decide which brand represents them best: Dyson, Eureka or Hoover.

the game saturday
would have been a forty point loss under capel IMO
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
I agree with osby needing to be more aggressive
but the risk is foul trouble and they’re screwed if he sits on the bench – depth is beginning to lack – except for honore – love that guy
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
you're point is valid
but the chances of picking up those fouls on the offensive end is not as great as it is on the defensive end and he doesn’t seem to have an issue there
quality big man depth is an issue
Osby is a little soft inside…but I think he’d be in foul trouble if he wasn’t
that's what is so weird to me though
He’s anything but soft on defense and on the boards, so why is his offensive game so Charmin?
Here's my basketball question:
Will this team win enough in conference play to make the NCAA tourny dance?
And…if the answer is no….NIT? and would that be OK?
I'm gonna say no on the NCAA
But after back-to-back years of no post season I would be OK with the NIT
cj washington
had a pretty nice game against ku, but undersized in the post
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
he may not score
but he blocks shots and he definitely alters shots as well
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
to quote Billy
basketball’s a pretty easy game when you make shots
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
Billy Tubbs
is an absolute hoot and an OU classic
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
whoever the midget guards
they damn well better POST HIM UP
Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER
you all wouldn't last a day on Denver Radio
and we have 4 radio stations..not counting ESPN Deportes
