OU might be missing talented defensive tackle tandem
Posted by Trips Right on October 6th, 2008 under Football
According to Sooner Scoop. There’s a chance starting Center John Cooper will be limited as well. Bodes well for Texas especially when you consider the Sooner scouting report from Barking’s Jimmy The Greek.

Barnes’ three “strengths”:
Defense, rebounding, recruiting.
This team just proved the first two are non-existent (out-rebounded by 25; fucking KIDDING me?) and the last one is over-hyped as well. Every ESPN basketball recruiting analyst who actually had Bradley ahead of Wall should be taken out back and executed Inglourious Basterds style.

a Good System will usually beat a talented team that does not play together and are thinking instead of playing basketball ,over a season the system wins more then they will give away.
A team that is scared to make a mistake and thinks before they react is going to lose to a confident but -

Nordberg,
Ironic indeed……teachable moment, I guess….
NY Horn,
I hope your drunk, because Izzo ain’t coming to Texas……Why don’t we just get Coach K. I mean Coach G came from Duke, they have to be dying to get out of Durham….

Egg, that’s fine, but at what point do you blame Barnes? Seriously, man. You’ve thrown players under the bus left and right, but at a certain point, doesn’t the buck stop somewhere. I know you’re more of an NBA guy so it begins and ends with players there, but we need fucking

Trips,
I hear ya. I’m frustrated as well. I guess I just don’t prescribe to such a black and white characterization of the situation. I do know that no matter what happened in the huddle, JCB made a dumb play. If Rick didn’t explain or remind him of the situation, then I

Pat, know I don’t, but I’ve had coaches draw up plays to free up the best foul shooter and then tell that guy they’d put their foot up his ass if they passed the ball. It’s funny, but as a fans of football we nitpick blitz pickup and shit like that. Shit that’s

Trips,
Do you know that he didn’t? JCB has made bad decision all season, why would this be any different. Barnes coached a shitastic game, but on the teams I was the best FT shooter, I never game up the ball unless it was an uncontested layup…..It’s not hard and it doesn’t take a

mcpayne, yes, you don’t leave that shit to chance. You don’t let your guys break the huddle or dead ball not knowing precisely what’s expected from them. Barnes doesn’t get 2 mil for coaching PE where he’s hoping the right guy gets fouled.

uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 5 hours, 4 minutes ago
mpayne, I’d agree with you if J’Covan had been playing all season and had been in situations to make that decision. Like, you know, against Baylor, when he played all of 3 fucking minutes thanks to rick.
So yes, it is rick’s fault.

Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 5 hours, 5 minutes ago
With 15 seconds left, out of a dead ball, most coaches would make it perfectly clear who they wanted to be fouled.

Stupid decisions by Brown are one of the reasons he sat on the bench for most of the season…lack of coaching maybe, or just a lack of basketball IQ?
Oh well, if Brown doesn’t go off in the 2nd half, we aren’t even playing in OT. Too bad he didn’t get much of a chance

Actually, if your a PG and the best FT shooter on the team and played basketball your entire life, you’d pretty much know not to give up the ball if you had any brains…..Such a dumb play…..

Oh, and a stupid decision by Brown in giving up the ball to Johnson.

Be nice if we’d coached our 90 percent foul shooter not to give the ball up.

In the second part I’ll do my best to give an outline of what exactly is wrong with the program, what we can do to fix it, and then what will probably happen TO fix it.

The line kills us, as it should have.
Fuck Rick Barnes, as this was the worst coaching I have seen in all my years of watching UT sports.
This saved us from Kentucky, but I feel bad for Damo, he was a hell of a Longhorn.
Hook ‘em!
And FUCK RICK BARNES!

Wow. Bummer for them. I wonder if that is equal to or less important than our TE (important) and FB (not as much) losses?

McCoy, Granger and Cooper are all going to play. Granger’s actually the biggest question mark and he’s practicing again.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP)—Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops expects No. 1 Oklahoma to be at full strength this Saturday when the Sooners face fifth-ranked Texas in the annual Red River Rivalry game.
Although defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and center Jon Cooper sustained minor injuries against Baylor, Stoops said both could return this week to face the Longhorns—and the Sooners might even have injured defensive linemen Demarcus Granger and Frank Alexander back.
“Everyone practiced to some degree today, and right now our trainers are pretty optimistic and feel that everyone will be ready to play. Now, I’m not going to detail it the whole week on who is where, what percentage. I don’t know how to do any of that,” Stoops said after practice.
“It’s their feeling today that everyone is expected to play.”
Stoops said the only two players who are definitely out are third-string tight end Eric Mensik and reserve cornerback Jonathan Nelson.
McCoy, a dominant inside presence who has 1 1/2 sacks this season, was walking gingerly after injuring his toe two days earlier. He’s still expected to play against the Longhorns.
“I’m good. I’m always good. You can always count on me being out there,” McCoy said, playfully repeating himself to reiterate his point: “I’m good. I’m good, everybody. I’m good.”
An Oklahoma City native, McCoy will be playing in his second Red River Rivalry game and said he’s been trying to keep himself from looking ahead to the game the last couple weeks.
“There’s no way I’ll miss it,” McCoy said.
He was able to hop off the field on one leg after he was hurt in the second quarter against the Bears.
“My dad always told me, ‘G, if you can get up, get up and get off the field. Don’t lay there,”’ McCoy said.
Granger, a former starter who played in a reserve role at the start of this season, has been out since injuring his left foot against Washington three weeks ago. He was off limits to reporters Monday night.
Alexander, a backup, has been sidelined since he was stabbed in the arm during a melee at a Norman nightclub following the Sooners’ season opener against Chattanooga.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.

Basically if your torso is connected to the legs somewhere in the hip region, Stoops will make you play. Anybody that passes the eyeball test and still can’t go just mysteriously disappears.

“Mysteriously”, vasher? There’s nothing mysterious about it. You’re shot in the head, buried outside of Juarez, and replaced with a robot. Pretty standard, really.

I would actually rather play against an injured starter, than a healthy backup.
The coaching staff will leave the starter in there while they hobble all over the field(Orakpo/Miller last year) in hopes that they miraculously heal themselves during the course of play, and start flying all over the football field.
Meanwhile there is a guy sitting on the bench who, while not as good as said starter normally, is perfectly capable, and more able- bodied right now……. typical coaches!
