I say let him go.

Calvin Howell and DJ are gonna be damn good for us.

If McFarland signs with OU, I’m not gonna lose any sleep. How is Granger working out for the sooners?

Last time we had a recruit trying to get extra benefits, he signed with Colorado, turns out to be a shitty college football player and turns out he’s a pussy and his coaches think so too! Mom’s got a nice bank job though.

I just get a bad feeling from guys like McFarland and Kirkpatrick who tend to drag these things out and milk them for what they are worth. Mercenaries.

If you need extra incentive to come play football at Texas, then we don’t need any incentive to recruit your ass. And Muschamp, Giles, Akina or Tolleson shouldn’t have to bang your mom, for you to want to play ball and get an education here.

Trips Right- Considering we are speculating on rumors given to you by an unnamed source who is “pretty close” to the program.

One would think you could give us some information as to what “program(s) have offered his family extra benefits and inducements that go beyond the standard benefits that a typical student athlete enjoys.”

You know, sort of be a little more specific. Is it a job with Big Red Auto? Suitcase with cash? Is it possible you could be a little more vague too?

Basically your post is saying “Things are going on that shouldn’t be” and that is it.

Well, you present yourself as somebody who knows infomration we don’t and if you are going to do so, I think you should fill us in dude.

I’m not sure what you are afraid of? Journalistic Integrity? With all due respect…you are a blogger, so you have no journalistic integrity to lose and you aren’t naming your sources, so why would you be afraid to go into a little more detail?

Basically, you are giving us no information, but you did get me to read your article.

I’m not trying to hijack this thread. I’m not trying to trash you, just trying to understand why you are giving us information without actually giving us information.

“There are other rumors out there regarding the outlaw program involved here”

Let’s see, he has visited LSU, OU and USC. Not exactly a list of the paragons of recruiting virtue, but if I had to rank them each on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being Jackie Sherrill holding a fed ex envelope and 1 being squeaky clean, I’d say

LSU-9.95
OU-9
USC-8.5

Of course, since we are talking about giving it to the conference powers that be, I’d have to guess that means our conference, so it looks like Big Red is back in business.

By the way, nice use of the term “malfing” on a thread talking about a mom. Well done.

Hippie – Quit being a douche or we’ll boot you off this faux blog journal. We have that kind of power and may one day attend Journalism school.

The point of Trips’ post has more to do with Muschamp and Texas than JM.

Good for our staff for getting tired of putting up with that fucking shit.

“But, money talks for many, and he may very well be influenced by what’s going on under the table.”
SF, in this case, I think more likely “she” (mom) is influenced, though I don’t know what’s all going on for sure.

Trips is crazy, nobody is going to pay under the table for a D Lineman.

I don’t get it.

If it is true that, “These offers of inducements were communicated to Mack Brown and Staff by McFarland’s family.”, then I have a hard time following next steps.

Either the family says ‘we want this level of inducement or better from Texas’ – in which case we say no and he commits to the other team in his final 2 under consideration, or the family says ‘we don’t want inducements’ – in which case they would probably no longer be interested in dealing with the other institution under consideration.

If we take it as a given that Texas has no interest in providing “inducements”, then they have a clear choice (unless of course, the other institution is now sullied in their minds in some way but they still want a good deal from another player).

I’m way confused, as it seems like all this should have played out by the time we hear about it.

I hope none of the implications towards the family are true and JM comes to the 40 acres and wins Orakpo-like recognition.

I’m not sure what you are afraid of? Journalistic Integrity? With all due respect…you are a blogger, so you have no journalistic integrity to lose and you aren’t naming your sources, so why would you be afraid to go into a little more detail?

Hippie – How about the idea that Trips is exhibiting a general sense of integrity?

As sausage fest mentions, his source could be identified more easily with more details,and if this is as far as he wants the information to go, then you honor that.

It also is common sense. If your source doesn’t want any more information out, and if you would like to keep him as a source – and a friend, then you don’t violate that request.

Just another aspect of that pesky Journalistic Integrity.

I think srr50 is right. I think (just my uninformed opinion) that deep down, JM wants to be a ‘Horn. But familial pressure is a beast to overcome, and I think he’s getting squeezed a bit. This would explain why, as srr stated, Texas is still pressing. There still may be the slightest hope for the good guys, and it’s obvious what Mack and Boom think about JM if they’re still willing to get in there and mix it up knowing what they do.

Hi! I’ve got a snide comment to make, but am afraid to put my real e-mail address down.

ponderos, aren’t you a fan of a program that has been caught cheating? more times than any other program in NCAA history?

Hey, nice of you to show up, ponderos! Care to join in on a round of “How come the Sooners can’t win a national title without going on NCAAA probation the following year?”

It’s winter, and I got tha hook-up on staying warm…

This site used to be funny on purpose, not funny in the “source of derision and mocking” sense.

“The documentation also serves to place other parties on notice that Texas is aware of the recruiting shenanigans and will not look the other way going forward. If escalation is needed, the documentation will be provided to parties of interest and not necessarily just the NCAA gumshoes. I was told the JM example, as well as others, could be provided to the Conference powers-that-be to effect change of some sort.”

“I have here in my hand a list of two
hundred and five [people] that were
known to the Secretary of State as
being members of the Communist Party
and who nevertheless are still working
and shaping the policy
of the State Department.”

You guys have become like OSU fans. It’s not pretty.

it’s pretty easy to blame OU for cheating and not look like a fool for doing so. they’ve lost their innocent until proven guilty a long fucking time ago. i was afraid that stoops was breaking the tradition and was doing things the right way, then Big Red Auto happened and the world made sense again.

Yes, saying ou cheats is tantamount to McCarthyism. Brilliant douchebaggery to say the least.

Somebody pissed on your rug, Dude?

I wonder if OU’s impending self-destruction/nonappearance/clusterfuck at the BCS “Championship” game on January 8th provides any sort of “incentive”?

Soonerpride, STFU…and don’t post premium info on sites like this.

Yes Soonerpride, quit spreading that stuff, who would believe it anyway?

I bet Mack has similar information every year but the combination of Muschamp bringing a pair of balls to the program and Stoops elevating his douchebaggery to unprecedented heights has caused Mack to say “fuck it, I’m going to take this guy down”

Hear, hear, Sailor. We get enough diet of that crap over at Hornfans.

Well, they did both bring enforcement actions against Switzer for blatant violations.

I think it’ll be addressed with the conference among other grievances.

I say we horn fans need to grow up. When we lose a recruit big deal, we will get another good one.

We Horna and our head coach are now viewed as whiners.

This story on JM’s recruitment is not only ridiculous and its probably untrue.

I’ve watched Mack Brown recruit for ten years and he simply doesn’t play this card unless he feels he has been pushed up against the wall. This is really a beautiful counterpunch. Not only does it deliver a message that we’re not going to put up with this kind of shit, but it asks a basic question of a young man who is by all accounts extremely smart and prideful – namely are you going to permit yourself to be bought and sold. Most haven’t given us much of a shot for a long time now, but I’d be damn worried if I were OU and this kid had resisted every overature up to now.

I think the “new strategy,” combined with Mack’s recent comments about reevaluating his usual call-off-the-dogs approach in blow-out games is a huge indication of exactly how frustratted he is with the outcome of this season. I’ve even heard from multiple sources that Mack seemed more upset about McCoy’s Heisman snub than McCoy was.

At any rate, my point is all of these little bits of information put together can give a pretty accurate indication of how pissed Mack, and the staff, really are.

On a personal note, I bleed burnt orange and not just because I went to UT. I’m VERY proud of the way Mack, Barnes, and the rest conduct their programs. The moment Texas stoops (ha!) to the level of cheating is the moment I find a new team to root for.

Oh, and my first thought when I read about Mack reevaluating running up the score was about how the ou game would play out next year. I’d not be surprised to see Mack try and run up that score if at all possible.

Pot calling kettle black. If you think for one second UT’s program is squeaky clean (Baseball, Cedric Bongsen, and others), you’ve got another thing coming. Add on to that the fact that UT’s player behavior as of the last 5 years makes OU look like a bunch of choir boys.

Could it be that Jackie Shipp (one of the best recruiters in the country) happened to open someone’s eyes to the crap spewed about their program by others. Do you think for a second that Mack would never talk smack about another program? You are nuts if you do. Muschamp knows that routine as well as anyone. He came from two programs that are as familiar with dirty recruiting as ANYONE.

Why do you think so many players stay four years? It’s because the pros don’t offer the same luxuries of being a football player at UT.

Deal with the fact that you’ll only get 7 of the top 10 in the state instead of 8. If we don’t get this kid, I’ll turn in my NAMBLA card.

Really…what kind of car was good ol’ ced driving around when he was at school? I’m sure his parents bought it for him. (Yes, insert your Bomar joke here.) Hey, I get it…we paid for what we did. See there, I admit bad stuff went on. But Stoops could have swept it under the rug and nothing would have happened. Instead, he chose to nut up and cut loose his starting QB two days before the season started. He has balls, no excuses and coaches like it.

Think Mack would have done that with VY?

But you pretend that not getting caught is just like not doing it, and we all know what the truth it.

Soonerfan, so you’re claiming Bomar, a backup Olineman (Quinn), and a walkon all received pay for no work, but superstars like Peterson, Ah You, Alexander, and the rest actually had to work at Big Red for their pittance? Are you really selling that? Seriously? Does that make sense?

Benson played professional baseball. Get a life.

Soonerfan, re: Cedric Benson…

I never post on here, but you’re a dumb fuck. Ced was drafted to play minor league ball, and signed himself a nice little baseball contract with the Dodgers. Look it the fuck up. So hell no, his parents didn’t buy him a damn thing. He bought it with his own damn money.

The real shame is that, assuming this is all 100% true, the girls at the ncaa will do absolutely nothing. The most crooked program in the country will get away with it again, and claim another mnc which they apparently have to steal, because they will never be able to achieve anything honestly. Hearing sooners talk about how we just don’t get caught is like hearing hookers complain about how crooked cops are with dick on their breath.

I’m a cousin of JM. OU offered $500,000 in cold cash and a brand new car. My uncle deposited the money today. Trips you’re the man. I hope the NCAA investigates and drop the hammer. Go Longhorns! Go Mack Brown!

JMrelative, that’s the thing, JM was never offered anything.

Stop and think about the post like this, someone offered special inducement to JM and as the poster said, they told Mack about the special inducements but in no way were they asking for them. If they are so above board, and I believe they are, and as others on here have implicated OU, why would the McFarlands still be considering OU? Either have something to say or shut up!!

Big Dawg: I don’t get it. We are entitled.

I guess I am going to have teach little Bobby how to better how to better “handle” these situations.

So you are saying the McFarlands are dirty???

Not yet.

First let me say thank you for the TK reference. Let me also say you truly are a pompous ass. Your recruiting classes are always better than ours. But some players want more than just the in-state school. They want to be led by someone they can look up to, as a father figure and a man, sometimes thy just just want to play at a tradition rich school. Don’t look now but, while Texas may be the flagship school of one of the largest and most populous states in the union, when it comes to being a football power, “Somalia” has been kicking their butt for 60 years.

If Texas cheated, OU would never convince any state top 15 player to go to that wasteland.

You think you toothless inbreds could raise enough jack trading skunk pelts to outspend us if it came to that?

You routinely get your asses handed to you by our team and after you backdoor it into a Big 12 game you get your ass kicked by a second rate program or when you actually earn the conference you get your ass kicked by a good team like LSU, USC, or (about to be) Florida. No Chin Bob can’t claim a valid football reason to convince recruits to go to his shithole program.

Houston you are a twit who seems to have a repeated fascination with skunk pelts. You make no valid points and I am not here just to sling “Houstonearler” with you. That will be my only response to you.

Thumper, you dumbass. About half your programs are currently on probation for blatantly violating NCAA rules. You claim 7 “titles” — each are tainted by subsequent NCAA violations.

You have a shithole state and a shithole school. If Texas cheated your piece of shit community college football team would be fighting it out for bragging rights against the local indian reservation. You think your toothless inbred slack jaws could sell enough El Camino parts to outspend the University of Texas to sway local talents if we were really cheating? No. So shut the F up with your everyone is doing it argument. If we were doing it, you would be a division 3 school.

Trips High,

So let me get this straight, if the recruit is from Texas and he is very good and he doesn’t choose Texas, then he or his family are dirty. Multiply by 10 if he signs with Oklahoma. You are really full of yourself. So why do we go to all of the trouble recruiting and playing the games. You guys are the best and whoever disagrees is lying, cheating or toothless and inbred.

kat williams is a better father figure than no chin bob.

You have beaten us 3 out of the last 4 years. I thought I said 60 years. No maybe it was just that we beat you 6 out of the last 9. No, i’m sure I said 60 years.

yep- you said 60 years. Now go add up the record of the 2 teams head to head (that still matters right?) and tell me who has the better one in that time frame.

OU’s only won 20 games vs UT in the last 50 years.

Well Trip I loved reading this … I will be sure to send this to his mother and grandmother. Uterus never changes … if a kid chooses another team to win Championships then he is dirty. You guys never change. Most of you whorne fans are predictable but for an admin to print outright blatent lies is just beyond me.

Is Mack Brown still whining about the BCS. When is that old fart going to stop crying like a baby? It’s embarrassing to the university. He should have beat Tech and we wouldn’t be in this mess. And stop all of that banner crap. That’s not going to do anything but make us look like whiners.

We’re Texas not Whiners.

When is Muschamp going to takeover the team. Mack should resign, while we still have Muschamp. Muschamp will hopefully win another conference title. How many title does OU have? Something like 6 or 7 in the last 10 years? That’s what we should be doing for a change.

I knew it. 6 Big 12 Conference Championships in 10 years. Why them?

Tommie Harris’ signing was flat out bought. I didn’t think was in dispute anymore? I see sooners up above attempting to convey otherwise. The guy will fucking tell you if you ask him. He regrets being on that campus.

With OU cheating again, I certainly hope we are documenting anything we can. I am all for walking out of this conference and the NCAA. They’ve both gotten to a point of being an aid to the liars and the cheaters and of little help to anyone else.

Where is the Danny Robbins guy when you need him? Turn him loose.

While we’re at it, the going price for Alabama recruits last year was about $50,000. That’s not more of a secret than the McFarland dealings and the Albert Means scenario. I am sure they’ll be in trouble soon too.

Some knowledgeable posts here. The profanity is lame, however, and doesn’t f*cking add a thing to the quality of the point being made.

“Hippie killer”?!!

That’s charming.

Besides… its hippy.

I’m with you on the Muschamp move. When do you think this is going to happen. Mack Brown has done all he can do. Make him head of football operations.

Muschamp is the answer.

Not sure, but I have some connections. I will place my ear to the wall and see what I can find out. Something has to give. Texans are not whiners. At least not in public LOL!

Speaking of Vince Young. Is he coming to the football banquet this year? I hope to see him there.

P.s. Try not to “reply” to yourself so quickly, too. It’s sort of easy to tell it’s one guy pretending to be three different people when the replies are always 1-2 minutes apart. What are you, stooooooopid?

Linebacker,

You still there?

Yeah, but Mack Brown will whine Shipely a sixth year. That old fart can talk a good spin. I’m sure he will sell the NCAA.

I’m going to hit the sack.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Coaches around the country are those that are most aware of the type of recruiting tactics utilized by other coaches. The Coach’s Poll is where you see all of that play out.

If Stoops and OU were so dirty, why did nearly every Big12 Coach, and many other Coaches put OU over Texas when honestly it could have gone either way.

Also, in the way you address this BS rumor, you accuse the McFarlands of some very inappropriate things, and they do not deserve that.

Have some pride. You guys have a great University in a giant state, and you get the pick of the immense number of talented players. If a few recruits decide to go elsewhere, then it isn’t because you were cheated … it’s because maybe OU or another school had (legitimate) qualities that UT could never offer.

I recently drove through Austin, on the way from my trailer part to San Antonio with the fam. Both on my way there and on my way back, I was stuck in traffic at a stand still for 10-15 minutes, in Austin, early on a Wednesday and on Saturday around 10:30 am. Is that what you mean by more cosmopolitan? Traffic?

Norman is very different from Austin. I’ve been to your school and think its downtown setting is pretty cool, but I prefer Norman’s college town appeal, as do MANY OTHERS.

Peace out.

This sure is messy…

What some may he missing is the strategic move Mack played here.

Given Tripps ethical, responsible and concisly professional reporting is true to the letter, there is a bold move being made in recruiting today. I don’t know if it’s new, but it sure is rare.

If Mack leaked this info – or allowed the leak to Tripps to go down – then he is essentially squeezing this kid. And thru the press no less.

The hand now dealt – because Mack has hereby shown his cards – passes the bet on to the parentals’ and JM’s place at the table.

Mack just went all-in with this kid in seemingly the only ‘clean’ way he can…by leaking it to the pit boss that ‘[an]other program’ has a card up it’s sleave.

(Sorry about that. I beat the death outta that poker metaphor…)

The Forty Acres may be whining, but I’m proud to claim the ethical highground while doing it.

$toops clean…what a laugh …. OU is still on on probation from paying Bomar and 19 others…. give me a break …. OU is as dirty as they come

Can’t spell douchebaggery without ou. Or, aggy for that matter.

Jackie Shipp should have his own NCAA detective shadowing him everywhere he goes. And that is from people at OU who know him, and have integrity. Just sayin…

Horn in Tyler,

As one who gre up in Lufkin I can tell you it is dominated by aggys. I was one of about 5 people I knew from my class that went to Texas. Meanwhile, about 50 of my friends went to A&M. Always been that way. I do think you are about to see some more recruits looking at Texas though. I know for a fact that coach outlaw is a really big fan of McWhorter who is assigned to that area, and he is not a fan of the Sherman administration. Regardless of what happens with JM this year keep your eye on the DB from Lufkin who is a junior. His name is Carrington Byndom. Texas is looking at him right now.

<p>C’mon, we are a <del datetime=”2008-12-20T17:23:29+00:00″>close</del> far distant second in terms of probation and we just couldn’t win as many titles. Now, let’s get in there and not pay what it takes to make it happen like we did with Vince and Roy Miller, it will get washed under the carpet (I have no idea what this means) as usual and our Bitch winning Coach Mack can continue to whine win and we can live under the house of cards that is texas integrity!</p>

“Second in terms of probation”? That’s laughable. Unless you’re an aggie too “biggest horn”.

Look if you sooners can’t even be bothered to do a little research before posting then seriously, shut the fuck up. It’s called google people.

CloseToJumping: For every one intelligent post, you have at least 5 posts that show you to be a complete retard. Apparently, you’re working through those 5 here.

To be quite honest, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if this was true.

Having said that, the prevalent attitude on this thread is the reason OU pulls elite talent out of Texas every year. It goes something like this: “OU has to cheat to get great Texas players. That’s the only reason they wouldn’t come to UT.” It’s an arrogant sense of entitlement, and UT is notorious for it.

RJ Washington specifically complained about Mack Brown and the UT staff having this attitude before he signed with OU. He said in no uncertain terms that Brown EXPECTED him to sign with UT without knowing a thing about him, and that Brown was pissed and couldn’t understand why RJ wanted to keep his options open.

My brother worked for several bars on 6th Street over the last 4 years. I asked him what the UT players were like. He said in no uncertain terms that they got “special” treatment and they knew it. Heck, Cedric Benson was quoted in an article about VY’s meltdown stating that it was hard to adjust to NFL life because they were treated like “gods” in Austin.

Here’s another tidbit. Austin is a shithole. The Austin suburbs are GORGEOUS. Round Rock is something incredible. But Austin itself, especially around the 40 acres? Shithole. There’s nothing cosmopolitan about no public restrooms for a 2 mile radius due to a fear of people using the rooms to shoot up.
On the other hand, Norman was rated by Money Magazine as the 6th best place to live in America. That makes it a great place for grown ups, but it’s a mediocre place for a college kid. I know, I got my degree there. The point being that, unlike Austin, it’s not a shithole of crime, drugs, and booze.

The bottom line: Do I believe this? Yes, I do. It makes me wonder how UT got the information, though, because none of this adds up to anything but bullshit unless one of the following points is off:

1) Someone made the offer.
2) McFarland’s family greeted the offer warmly.
3) These offers of inducements were communicated to Mack Brown and Staff by McFarland’s family. That in no way shape or form means that McFarland’s family asked for extra benefits or inducements – it just means the subject was broached with the staff.

Sorry, trips, but I call BS on #3. On that, either you or your source is a flat out liar.
UT wasn’t told about this by sheer virtue, and OU doesn’t suddenly lead for McFarland by all accounts for nothing. McFarland’s family asked UT for a matching offer, and that’s how UT got the info they have. I understand though, that you can’t say otherwise or you would be on the receiving end of a massive lawsuit.

Also, on the Broyles thing with the free gas, while I’m certain some of you have imaginary sources, I actually knew the owner of the businesses because I lived there. Broyles went to Norman High and was a god to the locals. He got hooked up because he knew the guy who delivered the gas, a local gas truck delivery driver with a kid on the Norman High team. The delivery drivers are the only ones, including the gas station owner, with the key and the code to the pump that Broyles was busted with.

As for the Adrian Peterson deal, he drove a beat up 88 Isuzu most of his time in Norman. His folks co signed on a used Lexus with Big Red (who only sells new Suzukis, but has good used car deals), who then tried to shop the RISC. If you don’t know what RISC shopping is, please don’t comment. Big Red was notorious for it. Big Red promised AD’s folks a decent interest rate (about 8-10%). They shopped the contract for about a month trying to get it, and the best they could do was 19%. That’s when the Lexus went back.

Here’s another tidbit. Austin is a shithole. The Austin suburbs are GORGEOUS. Round Rock is something incredible.

See, that’s where your post ran off the road, amigo. Round Rock might as well be Dallas.

The killer tomato says- “I recently drove through Austin, on the way from my trailer part to San Antonio with the fam.”

I laughed.

This site has reached a new level of stupid.
You dumbfucks will believe anything as long as it is anti-OU. An when you find out it was wrong, you just pretend it was true anyway. Fuck, you are some stupid people.

the sooner whining is reaching centurion levels; call bangalore and tell them to backup the servers scipio.

Why so many sooner homos posting on a Longhorn website?

I’m quite sure if the Longhorns were playing Florida, there would be no Longhorns trolling on Sooner websites.

Also let me say to all you queers: send pics or come visit. I love the taste of salty semen on my lips. Ha!

45-35 bitch-ass sooners. 45-35.

Anyone who thinks the toilet that is Norman Oklahoma is anything other than a toilet loses any ounce of credibility they may have initially had. No trees, dozens of used car lots, horrible food and ugly women do NOT make for a good town. Add in the ugly campus and it is clear that there must be other reasons anyone would attend school there.

Good luck to JM, he seems like a good kid with a tough decision to make.

At the end of the day, one royally pissed off Mack Brown ready to go postal on all of college football will be more valuable than any single football player.

Any last words, Trips?

A very timely “Vault” story on cnnsi.com:

Boomer! Boomer! Boomer! Boomer! Boomer!

Wow…someone’s disgruntled. Or not 40.

I haven’t had an orthodox career, and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

Snort.

Round Rock really pumps my nads.

NEWS FLASH….. CNBC just announced that Austin was leading the nation in a financial recovery. All the cheese makers are sending truckload after truckload of their cheses(not their finest) to austin to go with the longhorn whine. Fitting that they lambast JM and his family lol because he is concidering TU. LOL after his mom and grandmother read the venom spewed here by the whornes it will be EASY to justify his going to OU. Funny thing about that retard jmrelative is that the uncle IS a longhorn fan. I am sure that OU would give money to a longwhorne fan,,, LOL that sounds like something Mack’s son would do… LOL WHAT and idiot. Maybe he can recover another fumble this year in their bowl game. The constant clamering about JM being dirty and overrated will help OU and our cause. You can tell that this IS a TU blog where fiction is bigger than truth or fact. LOL just like the uterus(can’t spell uterus with the ut) football team…. always behind OU. I can assure you that IF we beat Florida the only ones whining will bet TU. Y’all be sure to go get the freshest cheese you can now. I suggest the pepper cheese because you can spin it as the cheese making you cry!

Cheese and whine? I heart the 90s. What. A. Dork.

Yep…the sooners are ‘All In’ at this point.

Stoopsie knows that losing 5 BCS bowl games in a row would not do well for recruiting.

I would not be surprised to see stoopsie bolt for the nfl…soon. The cheating is getting pretty close to catching up with him when dumb folks like us are yapping about actual instances of said cheating on a blog.

Oh yeah, fuck all you sooner trolls.

Seriously. Go fuck yourselves. Now. Bitch.

Hook ‘em!

If you have a problem with the University of Texas at Norman then that’s fine, but leave longview out of this.

“Here’s another tidbit. Austin is a shithole. The Austin suburbs are GORGEOUS. Round Rock is something incredible.”

Dude! I totally hear where you’re coming from, bro.

Longview simply lost the game to LT just stating a fact.

At the risk of derailing this festival of douchebaggery, a couple of interesting possibilities here:

1. Why is OU THAT obsessed with JM? I’d be willing to bet that this is as much about hurting Texas’ changes at the MNC *next year* as anything. DT is a weak spot, and JM may be the most college-ready option at that position. Stoops knows that Texas getting another title now would really hurt them. Undoubtedly they want JM for their own evil purposes, but I wouldn’t underestimate hitting UT in a crucial position of need as incentive for them to be more brazen than usual here.

2. I’m not sure why everyone is so mystified about why this is playing out like it is. If UT put the family on notice, then the reality is that the offer from OU (whatever it is) is, at the very least, in serious jeopardy, as OU scrambles to cover its ass. The family is probably very pissed at UT for screwing up something that may have seemed attractive. On the other hand, OU will be backpeddling but still trying to close the deal, which means a *very* awkward dance to “clear up” the earlier “misunderstanding” while simultaneously dangling the ever-vague carrot out there if JM does sign with the Sooners. Hence, the family is mad at UT, but not sure what to do. If they go with OU, will they get anything? How will they know? Will UT come after them? Will the NCAA? Is going with OU going to turn him into Albert Means? What to do?

JM is probably torn and would prefer to go to UT anyway, but now the family is pissed that UT seems like it’s going to turn them in if JM goes to OU. It can’t sit well for them to send their son to a school that seemingly has just threatened them. While I’m sure UT was very diplomatic in how they presented it, there is no doubt that the family feels squeezed by UT. Quite a pickle for all concerned, except for UT.

By the way, if he does go to OU, you can bet that OU will figure out a way to renege on the offer. Then they’ll have JM and won’t even have to come out of pocket. Plus they’ll strut around like they’ve been vindicated since no punishment will be forthcoming. See, Scott, Darrell (Colorado, 2008).

Too subtle. I don’t get it.

I would love to hear this in a court of law. The sooner defense team’s big argument appears to be “oh, what EVER!”

SOrry for that last post. Norman sucks cocks

What did OU give Tommie Harris?

I didnt know this many okies were literate.

KingDavid, if it’s “too damn boring,” then why in the hell did you spend the 2 hours you spent writing that lame blog entry? Could it be that there’s nothing else to do in Norman?

sooner that knows…..no wonder Tommy Harris is so pissed off at the Sooners these days.

The kid got promised the moon, but didn’t get NOTHING after signing with the Sooners….well I be damn, those cheating AND lying SOBs.

This just ought to be a lesson to all future Sooner recruits. Under Switzer the Sooners cheated but Swtitzer never lied to the recrutis.

He made damn sure you got the cars, money, girls, jobs, etc….but under the Stupes regime you get the SHAFT. They show you the corn but give you the cob.

Take a gander if you wish.

*Blast. communicate, education. I grade myself F-.

…and you spell you the wrong way.

Patron, I was just showing the difference between OU and UT in quality of education. UT is #15 while OU is #52.

Hey dad that was pretty funny

Any time TxTower–just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of how pointless a thread is about shady recruiting when everyone does it. ‘Cause we all know an 18 year-old kid who’s being recruited by everyone would much rather be in Oklahoma or Texas than Florida or California!

“…but sums up my thoughts pretty succinctly.”

A bound and gagged gimp could sum up your thoughts succinctly.

Did the Sooners beat us this year? I didn’t think so, but all of the Sooner posters are talking trash like they did.

Aren’t we going to make it 4 out of 5 next year?

Well. Hmmm. I suppose you might be right, Trips. And as long as we’re exploring the intellectual capabilities of those with physical disabilities (umm, were we actually doing that?), I guess I’d even concede that a quadripalegic could sum up my thoughts succinctly.

Now, you’d better get back to work on your PhD in English down there in Austin, OK?

I enjoy how that douchebag sooner71 attempts an insult by degrading the pursuit of a graduate degree at a university ranked higher in every academic category than his little juco north of the red river.

Gosh, you’ve got a point there, TaylorT.

Tell you what. How about we arrange a trade: you give us your last three victories in the RRSO in exchange for our last three Big XII Championships. Deal?

No . . . wait! I take that back! That wouldn’t be such a good trade AT ALL, would it?!?

Golly-gee, TaylorT, you almost had me there you sly dog!

It’s like cards: I’d rather be better later than earlier.

Well I was going to wait for Trips to post his earth shattering insider information on the imminent demise of the Sooner Nation, but I see the Whorn nation has quickly retreated into the typical we “we beat you” schtick. Guess what assholes, you did beat us. Congrats, I don’t think thats ever been disputed here. But we beat you by the rules set up by the Big 12 conference to play in the Big 12 championship and the MNC game. Suck on that polesmokers. If you makes you feel warm and fuzzy that the Sooners will have a Barry Bonds * by their 2008 Championship, by all means proclaim it as gospel for all of Texico to hear! The rest of the nation has long forgotten the plight of the pitiful Longhorn.

Still waiting Trips, blow me away…

Geez, Colby, you’re making some really good points about Coach Brown, and I’m kind of wanting to step back up to the trading table.

We’ll trade you Stoops, all six of his Big XII championships (including the currently running three-peat that is a sure sign of our fast-fading glory), and I’ll even throw in our spot in the National Championship game.

But it’s not going to come easy for you. You have to give us Coach Brown, both of his championships (yes, even that one in the ’90’s), and . . . (this one will hurt). . . you’ll have to throw in his early retirement package.

What do you say?

I’m not a fan of either OU or TX, so it really doesn’t matter to me. However, isn’t being in the BCS and losing better than not being there at all? Winning a regular bowl game is like making it to the Sweet 16–true it’s a good season, but not like making it to the Elite 8 or Final Four. Both Mack and Stoops are great coaches, but to discredit Stoops because he loses in the BCS is foolish. At the end of the day, he still has the same amount of BCS trophies as Mack. You gotta make it there before you can win them–winning Big 12 Championships guarantees you that chance. When OU lost to Boise St, they weren’t even good–Texas blew the last two games of the regular season to K-State and a terrible A&M team to send a weaker OU team to the Big 12 and BCS. But I guess Mack had a better season since he beat who cares? in the so what? bowl. 6 Big 12 Championships and 7 BCS appearances is pretty impressive…Once again, Texas is a great program, just looking at it without bias.

It’s amusing that you fellas include this year’s Big 12 Championship in your boasts. Who do you think you’re fooling? You didn’t earn the fucking thing. You know it. We know it. The American people know it. And yet you loudly trumpet the banner as if it’s not a self evident farce. Funny stuff.

Loud noises!

This thread reminds me of this time my grandfather was telling me about the Great 36th “Texas” Division back in WWII.

A division consisting mainly of Texans with a few Oklahomans scattered in to act as “Support Troops”…mostly driving trucks, cooks, clerks, etc.

After the fight at the Rapido River in Italy the division was sent back for “Rest and Refit” and as the Division was moving back, the Oklahomans’ would move from the rear to the front and try to collect souvenirs.

Ahhh…fuck it. I can’t even go on.

You guys suck and you will never get back the 45-35 asshole raping we gave your football team, your parents, your daughters and your entire state in October. Next year will be the same ass raping with a sandpaper rubber and blood is not a lubricant. Be Ready!!!!

Poor sooners must feel warm in here. It’s cold out there in their jorts or cargo shorts. Plus add crocs to the attire and Tony Casillas big collar and cuff shirts. Lastly a slathering of hair gel and out the door headed for uptown or Addison where the finest trash awaits. Sooner’s…they’re funny

This used to be an intelligent blog with witty posts. Then came the Sooners.

P.S. Please leave.

Hippie,

If it means we’ll repeat this year’s results again and again, I’ll gladly bend over and pucker up my cornhole every year.

Bring it.

You see, assholes heal. But the pangs of “what might have been” linger . . . and linger . . . and linger. But I don’t have to tell you that, now, do I?

And so, while you are staring at empty hands – hands as empty as Blake Gideon’s in the deciding moments of must-have game, we’ll be carrying home our two newest trophies: one for the Big XII; and one for the BCS.

Texico?

Sooner71-

The storyline of your game against Florida will consist of a couple of things:

1- How your team was lucky enough to benefit from a screw job to Texas, by a flawed system. You’ve stated that this won’t bother you. In fact, it appears you seem to be getting off to it. Regardless. We beat you were it counts and your wife, daughter and sister all know where it counts. My Cock. And they love it.

2- Storyline #2. How much of a leader Tim Tebow is. Once Florida starts shredding your defense, the way a Texas Ranger shreds a sodomite Okie, the announcers won’t be able to help themselves and ask the obvious question: How in the fuck did Sam Bradford win the Heisman? What’s wrong with his eyes?

3- Sam Bradford’s heritage. Did you know he is 1/90th Cherokee Choctaw Indian despite that both his parents are White as my ass cheeks?

4- What if? About half-way through the 2nd quarter…after Florida scores their 5th Touchdown. The announcers will be asking themselves, “What if Texas had been allowed to play?”. The game everyone outside of Oklahomo that everybody wants to see.

5- Finally, last but not least: 45-35 …

This has become tedious.
