OU Football: Any Given Stoops Press Conference

Posted by Scipio Tex on August 16th, 2007 under Football

 height=We’re excited about this year. This is the best team we’ve ever had at Oklahoma and possibly the best in the history of the Big 12. We’re putting in the work, doing the things that will make us successful, and looking forward to getting better every week. You know, some coaches like to talk about Big 12 titles, but some coaches – well, just one actually – have enough trophies that they can use them as a door stop, a paper weight, a bird feeder, and lose the other two and no one would miss them. I’ll take questions now.

Coach, Gerald McCoy has been such a promising talent, I’m curious if…

You know some coaches want to talk when they have never won anything. Coaches who like to stuff their fat faces with snack cakes. Who badly need some time on a Nordic Track. Punch one of those coaches in the chest and treats would come out of their pockets like a goddamn vending machine. You know we’ve had some success here at the University of Oklahoma and some coaches south of here have not, coaches that are powder haired emo boys, sporting some kind of poor man’s Bobby Cremins look and…

Pardon, coach – you’re talking about Dennis Franchione’s comments?

Did I say that name? Don’t manufacture an issue where there is none. I’m just saying there are some coaches out there – coaches of Southern European ancestry in some instances, known job hoppers – who want to jaw about “If we’d done this or that in these four games, we’d be undefeated.”

Well, let’s do that. Right now. We have the game stolen at Oregon by a bunch of eco-terrorists. There’s one. Paul Thompson betrays the Sooner Nation in Dallas and destroys a masterful coaching performance. There’s two. Boise St runs dishonorable and deceitful plays and edges us in the Fiesta as Paul Thompson pulls another choke job. There’s three. We’re undefeated now. Play Boomer Sooner and let’s all eat cake. Hey-ho, let’s all celebrate. Wasn’t that easy?

I ask you: who has had more happen to them than us? Only the Cherokee have suffered more than the 2006 OU Sooner Big 12 Championship Football Team. The Cambodians under Pol Pot, the Chinese under Mao, the residents of Stalingrad in 1944, and Oklahoma Football ‘06. All are a dead heat in torment.

Coach Stoops, when you look around the league there’s so much parity and it just seems that the Big 12 South in particular is going to be a tough divi…

Some coaches know what it takes to win it. Coaches who wear visors and have no-nonsense attitudes. They go out and get it done. Others want to talk about winning it – these “funny guys” – these comedians with their squirting flowers and hand buzzers – some of them with shrill, whiny voices and a fan base with stupid traditions. Coaches who are southeasterly from this podium, who like tomfoolery and grab-assing and talking big in front of their alumni. Those coaches should be talking to Jenny Craig, not running amok with their delusions. Maybe looking into some Just For Men so they don’t look so much like Barbara Bush.

Again, coach, I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but I’m thinking this is Dennis Franchione that you’re referring to – did his comments bother you? He said he was joking. A little harmless joke.

Bother me? I don’t even know the comments you’re talking about. So how could they bother me?

Sure, I go to bed every night with my jaw clenched at the smallest perceived slight and sit there for hours in a paralysis of rage, trying to burn holes through the ceiling with my eyes. Who doesn’t?

But I do know that some people like to prank around, to endorse tomfoolery, to grab-ass, like some children who live in a certain household who thought it would be funny to put a whoopee cushion on Dad’s office chair. This kid wants to giggle when Dad sits down to call recruits and it makes a loud farting sound. Well, sometimes that kid gets their 529 College Fund transferred to their sisters. No college for you. Are you laughing now?

Wise guys don’t think it’s funny when I hit them with a metal folding chair.

You know, some coaching wives don’t want to stop watching Big Brother when a certain multiple Big 12 Coach of the Year winner wants to watch Gunsmoke reruns. Well, sometimes those wives are pre-nupped and maybe that wife is now at risk of losing everything because she wants to grab-ass about with her reality shows and not do what she’s been coached to do. To execute. To be a fundamental wife and do the things that got her there.

Coach, back to football…

What do you mean, back to football? I’ve been trying to talk football, but certain reporters want to bring up certain coaches and create stories where there are none. I’m not saying you, but I am saying some. Many! Many reporters are doing this. All of them! Not you specifically, but all. They all do this. You, less so. I’m not even talking about you even though I’m staring at you and I’m indicating you with an outstretched index finger.

Forget all of this. It’s not worth it. It’s just not worth it. I’m just going to stare silently at this podium for a while and make you all very uncomfortable…

Hey! I’ve got it. I’m going to take this baby powder and sprinkle it on my head. Now I’m going to puff up my cheeks like I am an undisciplined snacking puff adder. Look at me! Who am I? What? No, not Captain Kangaroo. Guess again.

Now sing Boomer Sooner! I said, sing it. Good, that’s right. Da da da da da da da da! Everyone. We’re on top of the world. We’re national champions again. See how easy that is? Now I’m going to prance around and swing this mop handle like a baton.

Boomer Sooooooner! Boomer Soooooner!

Who am I?

Who am I?

    pretty funny stuff. I’m a Sooner fan and STILL laughed my butt off !!

  7. Ditto, Pretty funny stuff!

    Carol Stoops is an incredibly successful business woman in her own right. She was probably bringing in more than Bob the first season or two.

    Bob would say, “We don’t need no stinking prenups.”

    Hey Bob… you talkin about me?

  10. I don’t care who you are…that’s some funny stuff!

  11. That’s pretty good stuff Scipio. This is another Sooner fan that laughed his a$$ off on that one. Keep em’ coming.

    Man, that was funny. Nice work.

    Boomer Sooner.

  13. I have a friend who dose a perfect Bob Stoops impression, and I was imagining him saying all of those lines– pure brilliance. Nice job, Scipio.

  14. ROFLMFAO! TOO funny!

    Boomer!

  15. Needs work. Doesn’t even sound like Stoops.

  16. I’m a Sooner originally from Scipio OK- just west of Big Mc, and Indianola – thought it was funny. Boomer Sooner

  17. Pretty good. And I’m a sooner.

  18. too bad OU has to loose their home opener…

  22. This certain is a comical article, but Bob Stoops was not the auther. He does’nt use fowl lanuage.

  23. I’m pretty sure I heard him say “ptarmigan” in a press conference last year.

    That’s freakin’ hilarious. Good job.
    BOOMER SOONER!!

  26. strong work.

    media meltdown was classic.

    Horns everywhere, watch your ballsacs…apparently our ‘fans’ (clearly alumni) are on the prowl. [we are so proud by the way]

  27. enter text? test, sorry

    dfdf767df

  28. Ah…yes…it must be college football season again. Those Hatfield’s and McCoy’s (no similarity to persons living or dead intended) aka Oklahoma and Texas, Universities thereof…are at it again. I Love it! I live in Wisconsin…and if I as a Wisconsite were to insult a Texan (outside of the NCAA football season) in front of an Oklahoman…I’m sure to cause some ‘defense against the dark arts behavior’ by said Oklahoman in his/her support of the offended Texan. BUT…it’s football season and the enemy has shown itself in burnt Orange and Crimson…whoa…may to best team win…and you’ll see us (UW) in the Rose Bowl come January….go Longhoorners…uh…hook ‘em Sooners..uh…oh, well you get the drift…

  29. That’s really funny, but it needs a few “in a great way”s thrown in for good measure.

  30. As an Aggie, I’ve always thought Stoops was a bit of a douche. I hated 77-0, but one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen was Terrence Kiel tossing the ball he had just intercepted to seal the game to Bob, after we beat them when Reggie was a freshman.

    I think one of my buddies summed up the whole family best a few years ago when he said, “You know, Mike Stoops kind of reminds me of #2 from Multiplicity.”

  31. sumbody needs a hug. coach, come here to uncle bill. I’ll give you a big hug.

  32. What a tirade. Sounds more like Leach than stoops, who I thought had some class. Oh well, I assume you all know the meaning of assume. ou should really be proud of this. I bet ou’s AD won’t even say anything about it. ou never gets into any trouble or really ever does anything about it. When TAMU, the school to which Stoops refers, got into trouble with the NCAA in the 90’s, they nearly got the death penalty, and for much less that what Bomar and his crew of 8 or 9 did, and ou is getting a mere love tap on the wrist. It is probably because their wrists or so limp. Bob, Bob, Bob take a chill. This really sounds like you are WHINING.

  33. [giggle]
    is anyone going to say something…

  34. [...] as for Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops, I’m quite sure I actually attended this press conference, or at least one quite similar to [...]

    Yeah your right, penders teams were at least fun to watch play. Barnes offense is pretty bad not as bad as Tom’s but its all relative to who is watching the worst offense in Texas history.

    Our hoops team is the basketball version of Major League.

    Jake Taylor = Damion James
    Pedro Cerrano = Dexter Pittman
    Willie Mays Hays = Avery Bradley
    Roger Dorn = Justin Mason
    Isuro Tanaka (Major League II) = Dogus Balbay
    Rube Baker (Major Leauge II) = Jordan Hamilton

    If Craig Way starts drinking whiskey during the broadcasts, it’ll complete the analogy.

    I don’t think McCoy played anywhere near the level of Suh and the numbers make it clear that he did not. Suh had twice as many tackles (77-31), sacks (11-5) and nearly tackles for loss (22-14.5). Suh also broke up 10 passes, if he gets stonewalled on the rush he doesn’t allow it to take

    EP, I get your point, but I don’t think the fact that Texas hasn’t won a tourney came as an underdog doesn’t support it. Teams are favored because they are better. The odds that they win are greater than those who are not favored. It’s not like Texas goes into games with a secret weapon

    I don’t think it’s a case of RB not being able to coach, or doing a poor job of coaching. If you read the entirety of Katz’ blog post, he clearly sounds like a coaching searching for answers — answers that come in the form of players contributing, doing what they are coached to do.
