Oklahoma Sooners: Laying Groundwork for Three Loss National Championship Bid
Posted by Trips Right on October 19th, 2009 under Football
You know, just in case something nutty happens like every team in the top twenty five contracts the swine flu and loses 4 games, or if the Mayan calendar is a couple of years off and the world ends at the end of 2009. Which would mean Oklahoma would get an automatic bid because as Bill Hicks quipped, the world could end tomorrow and Oklahoma would remain virtually unchanged.
Check out this article. It’s an embarrassing admonishment of the Oklahoma SID from a random sports writer who is claiming OU is sending what amounts to an excuse email to members of the media with the hopes of trying to rationalize the Sooners sorry 3-3 record. And what school/state does this particular writer write for? Oregon. Really?
Anyway, the Sooners need to just go away at this point. Quit emailing members of the media and focus on things other than football. Spend your time on shit like cures for meth mouth and keeping Jerry Schmidt from getting gynecomastia. Perhaps Matt Clapp and Austin Box should write a soliloquy about being no talent ass clowns among a team of paid mercenaries. Or Jeremy Beal should spend the rest of the season strangling kittens with razor wire to cope with his own deficiencies. Stop trying to maim quarterbacks after games have already been decided.
Hell just quit emailing rationalizations of your record to members of the media who don’t give a shit in the first place. It ain’t cool, and it reflects poorly on our University since we happen to be in the same conference and shit. I know it’s tough for a program with the core values of a frontrunner, but try to act like men. You’ve beaten the likes of Tulsa, North Dakota State, and Baylor. That’s it. STFU and …………..

Thanks for the writeup Trips. It’ll all be over soon. Mercy killing, imo.

CJD,
I know exactly what you are talking about. Pitiful defense. We open the second half giving up about 4 easy buckets on run-outs. Damion shoots a three, Mason watches and does not get back, easy bucket. Lucas gets beat down court and gives a way a soft foul for a 3 point -

That was a ruthless and depressing cataloguing of failure. Thanks Hank! I think.

There’s no question that Barnes without point guard just doesn’t work.

You’re happy with our transition defense? Because that’s what Trips is referencing with respect to floor balance.
And your typing about point guards is something we’d pretty much discussed, established, and put to bed

Egg, that’s all fine and good, but what did JH do tonight to warrant the benching? You’re talking in generalites parroted by know nothing ESPN color analysts who watch one or two Texas games a year. I saw one egregiously bad shot tonight. The other shots were significantly better than most any other

Ekpe Udoh’s back must be sore… Baylor has beaten Texas three times in one season for the first time since 1981-1982. Baylor has also beaten Texas four times in a row.
If you had told me before the game…. that Texas would outrebound us 38 to 28, and grab 17 offensive rebounds to our 5…. that

I really can’t take it anymore. If you must know how or why Baylor continues to play Earl “the Goat” Manigault to our sports-goggled, weekend warrior check out the last Baylor write-up.
What happened tonight was eerily similar. In fact, it’s mindnumbingly frustrating that our staff made nary an adjustment to try

There are no laws in Oklahoma.
So, I think the Horns might be good enough to make the quarterfinals of the NIT. And maybe not. Just a team completely adrift.

It was hard to watch and really made me sick to read it again. And that was just the second half. I feel so used and dirty after this game.

Trips,
I hear you and I agree. And I know most are just frustrated, angry, and beaten down by this year. I really hope that any staff change that takes place will bring energy and maybe a little joy. Just a little. Obviously we need to rework our offense. Barnes installed

I won’t even get started on the offense because there is no prayer in getting that changed this year.
Well the year appears to be one more game. Thus, love to read your thoughts for next season.

Yes, because rationalizing 3 losses is exactly the same as advertising a double digit win. Just as an SID’s office is comparable to a handful of fans with a lot of extra time and money. It’s no wonder that people don’t take you seriously, bro.

Well sorry I confused you then. Yes, your SID’s office seriously sent that email. To ostensibly serious sportswriters, using a serious tone, from a serious email account. One with a .edu attached to it.
Seriously.

Trips, you left out the best part. He goes by “Kenny” and is a graduate of KSU:
“A graduate and Hall of Fame Inductee of Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan., Mossman lettered in basketball from 1978-81. He earned his bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation in 1981 and completed a master’s degree in mass communications at Kansas State in 1989.”
What the sportswriters received was a mass communication, was it not? KSU education in action.

Sweet criminy, that is pathetic. There’s a large difference between a coach lobbying on behalf of his team if it’s, say, 10-2, against a handful of other 10-2 teams, trying to play up his team’s resume and get them into a better bowl. Yes, Mack has done this, and so has Chinless Bob. You can’t name many coaches who haven’t. But an SID office sending out a mass email trying to explain away 3 losses? Give me a fucking break. Chokelahoma’s self-righteoous arrogance is the gift that just keeps on giving.
