Satan Thinks Bob Stoops Lies Too Much
Posted by CloseToJumping on October 12th, 2009 under Football
Bob Stoops iterated today that Ryan Broyles might be able to return this weekend after only lightly fracturing his scapula.
You don’t lightly fracture anything. Hairline fractures are fractures. They take time to heal and they hurt even if you’re not physically exerting yourself. Think about what your shoulder blade feels like. Imagine climbing over the middle of the field for a pass with Earl Thomas breaking on you from behind while you’re in mid-air. Now think about the concept of doing that with a shoulder blade tender to the touch. Right.
I am entertained at times by Stoops’ lying. He does it as both a habit and a method of practice. He lies to recruits, the NCAA, and he constantly lies to the media. Accordingly, he has a habit of pulling his own on bookshelf on top of himself on a regular basis. He’s not creating planning issues for Texas with this nonsense. He’s building up expectations with his fans and boosters. Ratchet up the expectations on the sooner fanbase and the collapse when they’re disappointed is awe-inspiring. This is a group of people that wanted Barry Switzer gone after multiple losses to Fred Akers before he went on to another title in 1985, after having won two in the 70’s.
At some point the weight of the bullshit for a guy like this becomes difficult to bear. A loss this weekend, especially one in which Ryan Broyles is in street clothes or non-existent because he’s somewhere in Norman breaking into a convenience store. This is a turning point in this series. If we win this game, they’re going to be all over this guy and his weak bs, and he’s not the kind to take to that kindly.

You don’t get it. This is not propaganda for the fans, or a smokescreen for the Texas coaches. This is a message to his locker, where halfway thru the season everybody hurts. That message is, “I’m not excusing Broyles with his fracture from playing, and I’m sure as hell not excusing you, Simmons! Or you, Bradford.”
utomlinson said:
October 12th, 2009 at 11:23 am
If he is using Broyles as his “example” to the locker, then he chose a bad one.
An unhealed fracture isn’t an injury you can tough out on the field.
NateHeupel said:

“He’s not creating planning issues for Texas with this nonsense. He’s building up expectations with his fans and boosters.”
So, someone else gets it, too? Outstanding. Muschamp doesn’t care if Broyles plays or not.
“This is a turning point in this series.”
No, sir, it’s not. That was last year. This worm has already turned. You might just now be seeing the eclipse, but I assure you this is only the culmination of a chain of events that was set in motion back in 2004 when UT said “Enough is enough.”
This whole situation reminds me of an exchange from a great TV show:
George Sr.: I may have committed some “light treason”….
Michael Bluth: Do you know what they do to people who commit treason?
George Sr.: First time.
Michael Bluth: I’ve never heard of a second.

I always take pause when people talk about the Texas-OU series turning. Yes, it does turn. It can also turn right back. The foundation for either team’s dominance is built on feathers in a stiff wind.
A Sooner and Horn fan in 2003 would – rightfully – laugh out loud if you told them that Mack would probably finish up the decade winning 4 out of 5.

Is it completely unthinkable that OU wins this game? I think Texas wins 8 out of 10, but turnovers or the like and *boom* – Stoops wins another Conf Championship w/ all of his best players hurt, and Texas doesn’t look so good. Worm does another about face.

I’m not a medical doctor or anything (didn’t make it into Med school – their loss), but I don’t see why a hairline fracture in the skull should keep anyone off the field. A fracture to the skull is not like a fracture to any moving parts, like the legs or the arm, so it should not affect his mobility, his play on the field, or cause him any pain when he runs. And with all the players being required to wear a helmet while on the field, I don’t see how there is much of a risk from a mere fracture to the skull. It’s not as if there is much danger of pieces of the boy’s brain falling out of his head or of his head leaking brain juices, so what’s there to worry about.
At worse, the most horrible thing that could happen would be for him to suffer an even larger fracture and crack in the head and even that would require a big time hit to accomplish. Umm, need I remind you all. Your safeties are B12 safeties and thus probably are incapable of doing this. They are both either too slow, too small, or just too non-physical to be able to muster up enough force to make such a hit to the knoggin, a hit that could enlarge a pre-existing crack in the head.
So, in defense of Stoops, he is absolutely correct. There is very little risk to Broyles of further injury by being clear to play in this game. Just shave his head, place multiple strips of duct tape over the crack for the sake of additional insurance, put a helmet over all this handy work, and Broyles should be good to go. As I said, I am no medical doctor, but, just you watch, Broyles will be playing in this game and I expect him to play well. As long as a crack to the skull is not so large as to flash a light or stick your finger through, it’s really should not be much of issue.
“I am entertained at times by Stoops’ lying. He does it as both a habit and a method of practice. He lies to recruits, the NCAA, and he constantly lies to the media.”
Not saying Stoops is lying on this occasion, but of course he lies. All people in in all positions of power and authority lie or resort to lying to maintain their positions. This responsibility and necessity to lie just comes with the territory. Athough he may do so in a more family friendly manner, your very own Macky pie is no exception to this rule. All this lying has to be the case, because, at least from a naive viewpoint, all positions of authority and power are built up from a foundation of lies from its very most basic foundations and this is the case no matter how meritorious such a positioning may appear on the surface. As one becomes more sophisticated, one has to learn to become reconciled with the unfairness of this state of affairs and also the necessity of its existence, but, as I said above, from a naive perspective, all of it is still built on a sack of lies. This is just the nature of the world, human society, and how humans happen to relate to one another. I suggest one gets use to it, instead of being surprised by it and bemoaning as you do CTJ, cause it’s here to stay, it’s universal (not just limited to the borders of Oklahoma), and it will never change.
The easiest way to get ahead in this world is to lie, lie, lie, and keep on lying (one only needs to pretend to want to be truthful – actually being truthful is not required or even desired) and never ever admit the truth, no matter how red handed you are caught. “Just keep on lying”, that would be the best motto to go by. The better and more you lie, the further you will go in this world and the more doors you will find opened for you.

Scipio, I agree completely, but looking at the history of this series, it’s a very streaky series. It doesn’t go back and forth annually. In 2003, everyone would’ve laughed. By the end of 2004, the laughs would’ve been a bit more nervous on the OU side.
Of course, a Cane fan with too much time on his hands informed me that, OU has never lost to Texas after Miami beat FSU. My own research indicates that OU has also never lost to Texas in the same year that the summer solstice is in the house of Aquarius when the Pontiac Solstice is in the house of Trips Right.

“I have no idea how you didn’t make it into med school, what with your depth of knowledge of skeletal structure and all.”
Oh yea, what I wrote about a cracked head may have sounded stupid and may have even been stupid, but that does not necessarily make it untrue. What risk could there possibly be from playing with a fracture to the skull, aside from sustaining an even larger crack to the skull? It’s not as if his head is going to crack into two (they do wear helmets, you know), and it’s not as if, even in the worse case scenario, an enlargement of such a crack is going to kill the boy. It might hurt, but it’s not going to kill him, So what is the danger to the boy of playing? I don’t really see any.
And yes, I may not have gone to med school, but does a person really need to go to med school and obtain 10 years of edumacation to know this so very obvious fact. I’ve bumped my head hard a number of times, without a helmet even, and my head didn’t blow up or break into two and I didn’t die. My knowledge of skeletal structure may not be deep or sophisticated but that does not mean it is wrong, so I suggest you think before you go and so careless insult it and put it down. When is the last time you say a head blow up or break into two on the football field? Yea, that’s what I thought, smarty pants.

This series does ebb and flow, and remarkably, doesn’t have a history of real close games.
If the “worm has turned” why do the last 3 and 6 of the last 9 B12 trophies sit in Norman?
These are two of the 6 best programs in college football (USC, FL, LSU, OhSt.). Neither takes back seat to the other.

Half of the posts on this site have to do with the Sooners–are you guys seriously that obsessed? I guess if you weren’t constantly in fear of them, you’d never write about them–I never see anything about the Aggies, and they’re your biggest rival! If the Sooners didn’t always with the Big 12 Conference, you guys would have no material…seriously. If you guys are better than OU, then why does everything they do matter so much to you?

VY’s therapist–
You have come to the wrong place if you expect people to defend Brown as a pillar of truth. I don’t think he’s a flagrant liar or a cheater, which is what Stoops, his staff, Sooner Nation, and the entire OU athletic program represents, but he certainly avoids speaking the truth at times. The difference is that Stoops is pathological and the media buys into it anyway.
And you are probably too stupid to understand what I am about to type, but so be it. Yes, we are obsessed with OU. Their destiny is categorically intertwined with our own. In the same way that you, as a sooner fan, come to and post on a Longhorn board, we follow and obsess over what is happening with the okies. On top of that, it is OU week. What do you think we’d be focused on? That post was as dumb as the lead paint you feed your children.

If UT losses this game this place will implode at a level not seen since last year after the Texas Tech game.
I will be watching with anticipation, as a Red Raider it’s in my teams best interest for OU to beat Texas. Hoping that a perfect storm brews, as UT losses to OU then wins out, OU’s only conference loss comes in Lubbock and Texas Tech wins out. For another three way tie, with Tech having the early September loss, and the late win over a Top 5-10 OU team and Tech leapfrogs UT and OU and wins the tiebreaker, similar to OU last year. There is about a 1 and a million chance of that happening, but it all starts Saturday.
Tech needs OU to win by about 10, and Tech needs to dominate Nebraska, placing OU, UT and Texas Tech all into the top 20.
Hey if Stoops will just not punt it to Shipley he has a very good shot at winning.

CTJ,
I’m not an OU fan–I came across this dumpster of a site last year when I was looking up the OU/Texas rivalry since I was attending my first ever RRR. I have relatives on both sides, and happened to be in Dallas that week for work, so I was able to score a ticket. Everyone I met was really nice and cared about their respective team, so I knew they had nothing to do with BC.
Anyway, I thought it was hilarious that this many people pine over another team–I’ve kept up with you from time to time over the past year, and you post about OU A TON outside TX/OU weekend. Literally, how do you breathe when OU wins any game? Nothing against my aunt, uncle, and cousins (all whom are the salt of the earth), but it’s hard to respect UT and their fans anymore after coming to this train wreck. [No politics.] And I actually came out of that game last year a bigger fan of both TX and OU–it was an awesome atmosphere and bigger spectacle. But I gotta give it to the Sooner fans on this one–they couldn’t care less what Texas is doing. Why would they? Your team’s accolades, and as this site proves, your fans are beneath them…

If the worm hasn’t turned, why has UT won 3 of the last 4 RRS games? I’m not saying it’s permanent. Eventually, Stoops will come back around and Texas will slip. College football is cyclical in its very nature. I’m saying that right here, right now, UT clearly has the momentum on their side in the rivalry. God help us if they take that momentum and turn it into a couple of conference titles.

Only OU fan still pulls the “I’m a fan of neither school, but your school sucks really bad and their school is really classy” card. The Internet has been around for about 20 years for the public, man.

has therapist even looked at any OU sites? tilting at windmills still has the “Bradford is more accurate than McCoy” and “TX all-convict team” on its front page, for heaven’s sake

“3 MNC didn’t really just confuse “scapula” with “scalp”, did he? I’ve read it four times, and I still can’t believe it. There is a new level of fail in the world.”
I think he confused “hairline fracture” but I still don’t believe those were real posts. Come back 3MNC and tell us how the joints in Bradford’s air conditioning got fixed so fast.

I would just like to say that “charley varrick” is a hell of a screen name. Very underrated movie.

My apologies to anyone that may have been offended by my comments, but the guy drew me offsides with a hard count. I was simply offsides and not unabated to the quarterback.

therapist, are you also an analyst? A sort of dual-role professional?

Looks like Brian Simmons is out.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Starting left guard Brian Simmons will miss No. 20 Oklahoma’s game against third-ranked Texas this Saturday with a right knee injury.
Simmons left in the third quarter of the Sooners’ 33-7 victory over Baylor last week, hopping toward the sideline before trainers met him and helped him the rest of the way off the field.
Stoops refused to say how long Simmons will be out.
However, Stoops says Ryan Broyles, the Sooners’ leading receiver, returned to practice and “there’s a chance he could play” Saturday in Dallas.
Broyles missed last week’s game because of a hairline fracture in his left shoulder blade the previous week in the Sooners’ 21-20 loss at Miami.
He had been expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks.

BC therapist obviously spent way too much time explaining how he just happened to be in town and how he came to the game and how he decided to evaluate both schools and then concluded that OU was classier than Texas. Pathetic attempt, okie!

Sooner OL coach James Patton on Simmons:
“That’s football. You’ve just got to strap it up and get the next guy out there. Of course, he’s disappointed. He’s looking forward to this game, being a senior, and he’s played in it before. He’ll be there, he just won’t be in there — unless he can put a couple knee braces on and be ready to go.
“Who knows? Maybe he’ll eat some magical jelly beans and be ready to play.”
We finally know the secret!

Man,
Stoops said “there’s a chance” Broyles could play on Saturday? Who’s that pathalogical liar fooling?!! You guys are so full of crap–you wrote a whole post on this, CTJ? You are REALLY stretching on this one–dissecting Stoops’ every word more than Sooner fans so you can shovel out the misconstrued slop to your inbreeding ground? It’s amazing how you’ll let your burnt orange haze turn “there’s a chance” into another reason to talk about a team other than yours. You are in love with OU, seriously. Maybe if Mack started using similar terminology when referring to winning Big 12 Championships, Texas fans wouldn’t be so disappointed every year. Broyles likely won’t play, and UT likely won’t win a Big 12 Title, BUT THERE’S A CHANCE…
Another sign of a site full of gutless hacks–changing users words. I mean you can delete a comment that contains politics, or leave it and totally change it to reflect something you’d rather it say? Come on man, that’s so bush league–the internet has been around 20 years for the public, so leave it that way.
You moderators have such little self esteem it’s hilarious–I thought these forums and posts were meant to spark two-sided conversation and debate, not just a place where your ravenous lemmings fight over the chum you toss out while you sit in your beanbag chair with that conquering smirk. Is there a lonelier life than a moderator, honestly? Why don’t you throw your dogs a milkbone for once Mike Vick? Nah, you’ve got them right where you want them–bloodthirsty and trained to lash out at unfamiliarity. What would they do if they one day got a mind of their own? They can only have one opinion, so we must change all outsiders’ words!
Look at Trickle Down–he couldn’t even contain his outrage, and he had the chance to proof it and press submit. Get that psycho around some beer and a family of Sooners enjoying their Fletchers at the state fair on Saturday and no telling what he’ll do–who needs to pre-meditate when you can flip a crazy switch in your head? Thanks Barking Carnival!!

BC Therapist,
You really aren’t living up to your name. Let’s think about this: Why are you reading this site if you hate it so much? You claim this site is “obsessed” with ou, and yet, you are obsessing over UT by the very nature of you being here and ranting over things that are common to all fan boards of all schools with big rivalries.
Perhaps you should do some inner reflection and examine why you feel so inferior to Texas that you have to try and tear us down to your level. I realize that your knowledge of never being able to measure up to us is distressing, but acceptance really is the best policy in these cases. It will help you move on with your life. And maybe it will help you to move on from this site and to stop posting your illogical, asinine drivel.

For my trifecta, I had 3 MNC in a row, Tim, and Steven.
Who is this nag, “BC Therapist,” that ruined my play?

@Nate, are you upset about Simmons being out or not?
I’ve read some places that he has been OU’s best OL player but I thought it was maybe you that had expressed dissapointment in his play which is what I’ve noticed as well. But you have watched and paid more attention than me.
NateHeupel said:

@dick:
I’m upset because this isn’t a drop from good to mediocre. This is a drop from slightly above average to flat-out liability. Simmons wasn’t the reliable strength we needed him to be, but he wasn’t a problem either. New starting LG Stephen Good, when he is comfortable on the field, is a mauler. The problem is that this only occurs once every 15-20 plays or so. Otherwise, he gets driven back by Baylor d-linemen in pass protection.
My point is that OU is already severely crippled by injuries. Between Broyles (who should be given another week to heal), Gresham, and everyone else, this team is a shadow of what it could’ve been. As poor as the OL has been and as many drops as the OU WRs have, does it really matter.?

Simmons wasn’t terrible. Inherently meaning he’s already a key loss on the line.

I fractured my scapula end of June. End of September (3 months) Doc finally gave me the “ok” to play golf…GOLF!! Again, Stoops is riDICKulous.

Although he didnt go to med school; which was a complete shock to me, I wholeheartedly agree with my main man 3 MNC’s assesment that since Broyles will have a helmet over his scapula he will be fine.

I would love to see a scapula covering helmet. Like some modified Darth Vader rig. I really hope 3MNC comes back. Tim shouldn’t be the only one going full retard.

“I fractured my scapula end of June. End of September (3 months) Doc finally gave me the “ok” to play golf…GOLF!! Again, Stoops is riDICKulous.”
Yeah, but your doctor probably knows that you’re a huge pussy, so he had to adjust your recovery time accordingly. That’s the prerequisite derogatory response.
The actual reason is because you don’t play for a high level D1 team, you don’t have access to the level of banned substances we’re going to administer that will make Broyles feel so pumped up that he could steal an entire gas station.

Tonight on 60 Minutes: “Ryan Broyles: does a defense have to plan for him, or what?”
“And is this all moot when OU plays a real defense (read: Texas) that can take away Ryan Broyles, gang up on the running game, and make someone else beat them?” – Scipio Tex, 9/28/09
“He’s not creating planning issues for Texas with this (Broyles) nonsense.” – Close To Jumping, 10/12/09
I’m getting ready to burst into Henry James’ office in about five minutes to find out.

What you biased UT fans are failing to remember is how fast Broyles recovered from a broken gas pump in 2007. Some experts thought he might not ever return to football. With the help of the team’s PR department and the disposable integrity of the coaching staff, his courageous rehabilitation was one of the most overlooked feel-good stories of the last five years.
