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.

If you watched the game, and if you have one drop of testosterone in your bloodstream, you couldn’t have missed her. The redhead with huge tracts of land – right behind the KU bench – who stood for every time out and stared at the KU players.

Bob, essentially what you are saying is that we are not a well coached basketball team. I agree.
Jordan Hamilton is a selfish and lazy player. He is a terrible fit to play for Barnes. Not sure if either one will be around next season at this rate.

Well done. The Barney Frank line blindsided me like a strain of juarez clap. Funny stuff.
I’d like for us to go out of state for a QB and at least 1 maybe two CB’s. Is Quandre tall enough to play corner or angry enough to play safety?

Was Barnes wearing a helmet last night. I did not notice as I was in awe of the blood being spilled
on the floor for almost 11 minutes without a point.

Barney Frank and Mormon quips in the same post. My Tuesday is complete.
Texas HS football is going through a phase (era?) where the best athlete talent is being put on offense. DBs aren’t being developed in vast quantities. Why wouldn’t you go after a couple OOS DBs?

Leonidas, none of those points came against Dex. Boxscores aren’t reality, they’re like porn movies. If porn was real everyone would be a plummer.
As for Pittman on offense, Aldrich wasn’t playing him straight up, he was getting a double virtually everytime down. That’s not Aldrich’s fault but it’s reality.

OK, I was there. Not the best seat in the house, but not a bad one either.
Trips hit part of what struck me over and over. KU had offensive options/outlets when Texas forced them into trouble (which happened quite a bit, as the stats showed that Texas did bring defense last night), and the

At least, that’s the line I would expect to hear from Rivals or Scouts if they were in a relationship with Bo Pelini and ended up going to Dr. Phil to try and work out their differences. Of course, that would never happen because Bo would’ve just laughed, packed her shit up, and thrown it

CTJ,
Rivals doesn’t think there are any elite players in Texas this year. Do you think we’ll have to go out of state to compensate?
Thanks!

Avery Bradley, who shot 77% from the foul line in high school and is now shooting 47% at Texas would probably be shooting closer to his high school average if he played at Duke.

Importance of Recruiting Rankings by Position.
Now that the recruiting season is over and most Cal fans are waxing poetic (along with some Texas fans) about how great these 17-18 year olds will be, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at recruiting rankings as a potential measurement for future success.

I really don’t want to repeat the horrid situation of the past few years where we starved for depth and talent at DT. It’s critical not to let defensive line recruiting slip. That said, if we bring in two tackles and two ends this year that would be 21 scholarships used on the

It appears as though the dude is committed to raiding the SEC and ignoring the West Coast.
It’s understandable, with the way that recruiting is generally territory based. Isaiah Crowell, the RB we’ve been linked to, goes to Columbus Carver. That’s an Auburn pipeline school. Still, I can’t imagine that recruitment lasting much

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.

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.

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!
